Chapter 15: Da Xi Yang
Translator: Kazeyuki Editor: Jimmy
The news of Zhang Xian's death had not only caused a huge uproar in the Martial Arts Academy, but it also became the biggest piece of gossip in the entire River County. Like a bomb, this news had exploded into the skies of River County.
“Hey, dude, have you heard? In the Martial Arts Academy, a Humble Class martial art student killed another student from the Prominent Zhang family,” Stranger A said.
“Everyone has two ears, who has not heard about it? I say, do you know the details of this matter?” Stranger B said boastfully.
“I have not heard anything about it, have you?” Stranger A asked him with a humble attitude.
"This is a complicated matter. You’ll have to buy me a drink, and I will talk slowly." Stranger B maintained his arrogant attitude.
“Ok, fine. Let’s go drink at the “Little Xuan.”
…
There were a lot of gossips happening in the streets. Most of them talked about the same thing, about how Qin Wushuang had taken revenge upon the child of the Prominent Zhang family after training very hard. And about how he had waited for opportunities and had finally succeeded. It showcased the determination of a Humble Class child.
Compared to the gossips in the street, the Prominent Zhang family, as the "direct victim," had an entirely different attitude. They insisted that the death of Zhang Xian was not due to his lack of strength, but because he had been murdered.
With the child of the Venerable Da Xi family as the witness, they did not dare to dispute the claims of this "duel." Therefore, the word "murder" was a vague description. It could be that he was “murdered” in the fight or in a personal vendetta.
Zhang Maorui was extremely depressed over his son's death. To put it bluntly, it was the Wealthy Class Xu family that had wanted the Qin family's large inheritance. As the Prominent Class, they were only an errand boy for the Xu family.
However, he could not vent his anger at the Wealthy Class Xu family. Thus, he could only direct his hatred toward the Humble Qin family.
The Xu family had not ignored the matter of Zhang Xian’s death entirely. They had sent one of their elders to comfort the Zhang family and carefully investigated Zhang Xian's wounds.
Qin Wushuang had been very clever in his attacks; he had not used all of his strength. At first, he had sent out a palm attack to push Zhang Xian to the sky using the method of power against power instead of his inner strength. The dozens of punches that led to Zhang Xian’s death came from the technique <Fist of King Kong>, and he had reduced the power to around twenty to thirty percent.
This way, he made it appear as if Zhang Xian’s death had been caused by a simple martial art student.
“Patriarch Maorui, the fatality resulted from a dozen lethal punches to the head. This kid of the Qin family was vicious, he was going after Zhang Xian’s life. It seemed that one or two punches were not enough to kill him. From this wound, he must have been hit thirteen or fourteen times!"
Elder Yue, who was sent by the Xu family sighed after he had checked the wounds.
Zhang Maorui shook his head painfully: "This kid of the Qin family... There was such a large difference between his strength and my son's from the last duel a few months ago. He could not have advanced at such speed in a few months to the point where my Xian’er had no power to resist.”
"I’ve also asked the boy, Xu Ting. From his description, he had no helper at that time. And he did mention that the kid of the Qin family had massively increased his strength. Patriarch Maorui, this was an accident. My family's patriarch asked me to pass on a few word: “Please don't let this matter fracture the relationship between our two families."
After Zhang Maorui heard Elder Yue's words, he could only break his own teeth and swallow them into his stomach. With a miserable tone, he said: “This was all the Humble Class Qin family’s fault. I understand. They are the ones responsible for this.”
Elder Yue nodded expressionlessly, and spoke again: "My family's patriarch means to postpone the revenge because this is a complicated matter.”
“Why?” Zhang Maorui showed a confused expression.
"Because the child of the Venerable Da Xi family came forward as a witness!" As the muscles on the older Yue's face slightly twitched, he said with a cautious tone, "No one knows if the Qin family have sucked up to the Venerable Da Xi family. Thus, if you want to move, you must investigate this matter thoroughly.”
Zhang Maorui was quite unhappy, and he lightly answered with a single word: "Oh." In his heart, he was furious. Thus, he clenched his teeth.
Elder Yue reminded him: “Patriarch Maorui, it's only a little over three years until that “Family Class Evaluation.” If we properly prepare, we can easily make the Qin family lose their Humble Class seat. How difficult would it be, by that time, to render their family destitute and homeless?
Three years… If it must be this way, then they would have to wait for another three years!
Beneath his façade, Zhang Maorui was heartbroken. It was apparent that he was not satisfied letting the Qin family live for one more day!
……
In the castle of the Venerable Da Xi family, Da Xi Yang had also been summoned by his father, Da Xi Heng, to explain the current situation.
Da Xi Yang informed his father of what he had witnessed. After a moment of silence, Da Xi Heng, the family patriarch of the Da Xi, sighed: “The son of the Qin family is remarkable. He bided himself for a very long time and carefully waited to carry out his powerful counterattack. This way, those powerhouses that had planned to rob the Qin family will find things difficult.”
“Why will they find things difficult? The Humble Class Qin does not have much power. The fact that Qin Wushuang had killed Zhang Xian was only because of a quarrel between martial art
students. This matter would not change much of overall situation.” After all, Da Xi Yang was too young. He could not grasp the general situation as well as his father.
"Hehe, if you had not come forward as a witness, then they, of course, would not have found things difficult. However, the situation changed as soon as you came forward." Da Xi Heng sighed.
Da Xi Yang pursed his lips and thought for a while. Then, he understood and laughed: “This way, it looked like the Qin family borrowed my power when I went out and spoke the truth?”
