< Second chapter! Four thousand words! Working hard on the third chapter … >
Xiao Xing Yun's expression didn't change. He simply ignored him and continued to speak with fervor and assurance, "But the problem is that Han Yan Yao was still the daughter-in-law of the Xiao Family when this happened. She didn't officially cancel the engagement! Han Zhan Meng, you won't deny this, right? "
"At that time, the entire Silver City knew that the engagement might have to be canceled! But take note, it was only a 'might'; in other words, everyone knew that there was such an engagement! Since there was such an engagement, she fooled around with a man, and that was unethical! Treacherous! Unscrupulous and shameless, having an affair! Fooling around with a man was equivalent to losing her chastity, and that was a disgrace to the Xiao Family! Now that such a thing has happened, that oily green hat will forever be stuck on my Xiao Family's head! This is something that cannot be denied! Han Zhan Meng, do you still have any doubts about what I said? "
"Xiao Xing Yun! You're simply spouting nonsense! " Xue Shuang Qing was trembling with anger. "How many years has it been? You made such a fuss ten years ago, and now you're bringing it up again! Even if it was an engagement, it was only a verbal one, and there was no betrothal certificate! Yao 'er has never entered the Xiao Family's door, and she has always been pure and clean! Even today, how is this a disgrace to the Xiao Family? Is the Xiao Family even worthy? Who do you think you are? "
"Hahaha … well said, you've finally said what's on your mind! Our Xiao Family has been loyal and devoted to the Silver City for dozens of generations. Our Xiao Family has been loyal and devoted to the Silver City. But now, the City Lord's wife has said that our Xiao Family is unworthy! That we are not a thing! Hahaha … Ancestors, did you hear that clearly? This is the Han Family's reward for our loyalty! This is the Han Family's oppression of the Xiao Family's descendants! It has reached an unbearable level! Even a woman dares to stand up and scold the current leader of the Xiao Family! From today onwards, my Xiao Family will draw a clear line between us and your Han Family. We cannot live under the same sky! "
Xiao Xing Yun laughed mournfully. He suddenly turned around, and faced the portraits of the Silver City's ancestors on the wall. Then, he laughed mournfully and said, "Star First Ancestor, you didn't care about your own safety at that time. You blocked a knife that was aimed at your sworn brother. But, you paid with your life … But, did you ever think that your descendants would be bullied and humiliated by your sworn brother's descendants hundreds of years later? If you could see this from heaven, I wonder how sad you would be. Would you feel that it was not worth it? "
Xiao Xing Yun's voice was full of tears, and his face was mournful. He looked as if he was about to die from grief and indignation. He sighed and said, "As long as the Silver City exists, the Xiao Family's descendants will never die! The teachings of our ancestors have been passed down from generation to generation, and we will never go back on our word … City Lord Han … City Lord Han, the oath that you made in front of the heroes of the world is still ringing in my ears. Now, your descendants are going to exterminate our Xiao Family … If you can see us in heaven, please open your eyes and take a look … Our Xiao Family is in deep water and we can no longer bear the burden. We have been forced into a corner … "
"Xiao Xing Yun! You … are shameless!!! " Han Zhan Meng was so angry that his whole body trembled uncontrollably. Looking at Xiao Xing Yun, who was so good at talking and singing, he wanted nothing more than to strangle him! They had been together in the Silver City for so many years, but he didn't know that the Great Elder was such a good actor!
Xiao Xing Yun's words were enough to make one's lungs explode!
"Our Xiao Family's descendants have such a bitter life …" Xiao Xing Yun's face was full of tears. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "At least there is still a place for justice! The Three Holy Lands have always been fair and just, benefiting the world and benefiting the common people! At this moment, the elders of the Three Holy Lands are here to witness the ceremony, and they can uphold justice for the Xiao Family's descendants who have been bullied! Give our Frozen Snow Mountain a peaceful world, and give our Blizzard Silver City a bright world! This old man firmly believes that there is justice in the hearts of men! The cycle of cause and effect, and retribution! What men do, the heavens watch! There will always be a witness for a loyal heart of blood! "
After Xiao Xing Yun's sonorous and powerful speech, he suddenly turned around and bowed deeply to Mo Xiao Yao, the Unfettered Supreme, who had been watching the show from the sidelines. His expression was one of sorrow and joy at the same time. It was as if he was a tenant who had been oppressed by a rich landlord for thousands of years, and had finally been liberated from his predicament …
"Elder Mo, you've seen the truth of the matter here today! Right now, my Xiao Clan is facing the calamity of extinction. It is truly difficult for us to protect ourselves, and our future is uncertain. I hope that you can uphold justice! Give justice to our Xiao Family! Let the world see the light of hope again, and let the world know that justice is not to be desecrated! Loyalty is not to be insulted! Please … uphold justice …! "
Xiao Xing Yun bowed down, and just stood there, not raising his head!
Behind him, the elders of the Xiao Family suddenly stood up, rushed over, and knelt on the ground, shouting, "Venerable from the Three Holy Lands, please uphold justice!"
Their movements and voices were uniform, as if they had been rehearsed in advance …
Han Zhan Meng trembled with anger, and his lips trembled. His face turned purple, and he could not speak for a moment. Xiao Xing Yun's words had confused black and white. He had inverted right and wrong. He had gone against his conscience to tell lies. Moreover, his voice and countenance had been beautiful. His words had been filled with sincerity and grief. They had been extremely moving. However, none of his words had been true from the beginning to the end …
It had to be said that to be able to learn such skills in one's lifetime, he could be considered a genius, a genius!
If Xiao Xing Yun had even half of this level of attainment, not to mention Shen Xuan, he could even be a Supreme, a Venerable, or even a Saint!
Could shamelessness really make one invincible?
For a moment, the hall was in an uproar, and the elders of the Han Family were all filled with righteous indignation. They had never thought that a person could be so shameless!
The truth was clear to everyone. But, Xiao Xing Yun had turned black into white. It was obvious that the Xiao Clan had bullied the weak and persecuted others. But, he had turned it into the Xiao Clan that had been persecuted. He had even tried to quibble that he had been wronged …
"Xiao Xing Yun, a man lives with his face, and a tree lives with its bark. Do you still want your old face? The Xiao Family's ancestor's reputation has been ruined by you just like that … "
"Xiao Xing Yun! You old man, you are too shameless! All these years, everyone has seen how the Xiao Family has been doing in Blizzard Silver City. How can you still have the face to say such words! Inverting black and white, and pestering endlessly! "
"Xiao Xing Yun, it's fine if you are shameless, but your entire Xiao Family is shameless as well. How could you do such a shameless thing! This old man was truly blind in the past. How could I not see that you are actually such a despicable person … "
"…"
If not for the presence of the people from the three Holy Lands, this hall would have already turned into a bloodbath.
At this time, the Venerable of Life and Death from the Supreme Golden City, Wei Kong Qun, had a solemn expression on his face. He coughed heavily, and his majestic eyes swept across the hall. Everyone was stunned by his aura, and without exception, everyone stopped talking and looked at him.
"Regarding the fight between the Xiao Family and the Han Family, this old man is an outsider, and should not interfere. However, as the saying goes, justice is in the hearts of the people. This old man has been watching from the sidelines for a long time, and has more or less understood what is going on. I wonder if City Lord Han and Elder Xiao are willing to listen to this old man's words of justice? "Wei Kong Qun said with great deliberation.
"Senior Wei is an expert with a great reputation. If you have something to say, please say it. This junior will listen with respect. If you have any instructions, this junior will obey. "Xiao Xing Yun bowed respectfully, but did not straighten his back.
Han Zhan Meng pondered for a moment, and said, "If Senior Wei has any suggestions, please speak. This junior's mind is in a mess, and I do not know what to do with the current situation. I would like to ask the seniors from the three Holy Lands to give me some pointers."
Although Han Zhan Meng's words were beautiful, everyone could hear that he had left a lot of leeway in his words. It was not as rigid as Xiao Xing Yun's. Everyone could understand the difference between "instructions" and "suggestions."
Wei Kong Qun said with a smile, "Your two families have been friends for generations, and have probably been friends for hundreds of years. It would not be an exaggeration to say that your relationship has been going back a long time. Now that your city is facing a great enemy, and your soldiers are at the gates of the city, you are making such a big fuss over such trivial matters. In this old man's opinion, the gains do not make up for the losses! You must know that the Blizzard Silver City's prestige is not something that the Han Family or the Xiao Family can accomplish alone. Do you have any objections to this old man's words? "
Xiao Xing Yun said respectfully, "Senior Wei's words are like gold and jade, enlightening even the deaf. This junior is deeply ashamed."
Han Zhan Meng felt that something was wrong. He thought to himself, What do you mean by avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial? Why is it that even if the Jun Family attacks, they will only target the Xiao Family? What does this have to do with the Han Family?
How did such a big conflict turn into 'making such a big fuss over such trivial matters between men and women' from your mouth? What do you mean by that? But with Wei Kong Qun's status, Han Zhan Meng did not dare to offend him rashly. He could only say reluctantly, "Senior Wei is right."
"In that case, this old man will continue." Wei Kong Qun had a benevolent countenance, and his voice was exceptionally gentle and pleasing to the ears. "For Blizzard Silver City to stand tall until now, the Han Family and Xiao Family's contributions cannot go unnoticed. Both families have sacrificed a lot for this city. Or it can be said that Blizzard Silver City belongs to both the Xiao Family and the Han Family, and there is no distinction between them! It's not wrong to put it this way, is it? "
Xiao Xing Yun nodded his head in agreement.
The more Han Zhan Meng listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. He furrowed his brows and did not speak. What do you mean by 'Blizzard Silver City belongs to both the Xiao Family and the Han Family'? Blizzard Silver City has always belonged to the Han Family! What you're saying is simply confusing concepts and distorting facts!
"Since the two families belong to the same family, it doesn't matter whether the Han Family or the Xiao Family is in charge." Wei Kong Qun said. "Since that's the case, isn't it easy to resolve the conflict between the two families? The Han Family has been in charge for hundreds of years, so what's the harm in temporarily giving way to the Xiao Family? It's our family's property anyway. Regardless of whether it's the Han Family or the Xiao Family, it's still Blizzard Silver City! Everything is for the greater good, and everything is for stability. City Lord Han, this old man advises you to take a step back. "
"Senior's meaning is … for this junior to hand over the position of City Lord to the Xiao Family?" Han Zhan Meng asked in shock. He had never imagined that a senior from the three Holy Lands, who were known for their fairness and impartiality, would say something like this!
What kind of person was this?
This was a matter of changing dynasties; how could it be settled with just a few words from you?
What was going on?
You want Blizzard Silver City to be surnamed Xiao with just a few words?
According to what you've said, all the rulers of the past dynasties were conquered by generals who commanded thousands of troops on the battlefield. Doesn't that mean that they can just let the generals take over the position of the ruler after some discussion? This was simply ridiculous!
There was no limit to the idiocy! This kind of person was actually the leader of the three Holy Lands?
"That's right! This old man's suggestion was made with good intentions. Your two families are willing to damage the friendship for a mere City Lord's position. Why bother? How can we ignore the teachings of our forefathers? Are we going to throw away our hundreds of years of friendship just like that? "
Wei Kong Qun sighed. "Today, the Xiao Family is in charge of Blizzard Silver City. Isn't it the proof of the friendship between the two of you? For the sake of brotherhood, for the hundreds of years of friendship! Glory, splendor, and wealth are but fleeting clouds. Even if you throw it all away, what's the harm? Today's matter will definitely become a legend in the pugilistic world! "
"Brother Wei's words are reasonable. Back then, when the Han Family took over Blizzard Silver City, they had already sworn an oath! And it has continued for hundreds of years without changing! This kind of perseverance and trust is a model that everyone in the pugilistic world praises! " Mo Xiao Yao sighed. "Now that the Xiao Family is in charge, they naturally have to swear an oath to protect the interests of the Han Family forever!"
Both of them wanted to use the power of these few sentences to make the Silver City's ownership change a reality!
"That's right! This Xiao here, with the seniors and experts of the three Holy Lands as witnesses, makes a great vow: From now on, my Xiao Family will never abandon the Han Family, and we will be friends forever! As long as Blizzard Silver City exists, the descendants of the Han Family will never die. Generation after generation, this oath will never be broken! "
At this moment, Xiao Xing Yun was already beaming with joy. Although his willpower was strong, seeing that his life's goal was about to be achieved, he could not help but smile from ear to ear. He also wanted to swear an oath, but in his excitement, he could not think of a better way to say it. He actually changed the oath of the Han Family's ancestors and said it out loud.
