"Welcome, welcome, Great Elder Huo. I'm proud that you're finally here!"
The arrogant Wu Shang and the others seemed to have changed into another person. They walked quickly to the gate of the Wu family and greeted the Chief Elder of the Mountain Breaking Sword Sect with smiles, leaving Qin De aside.
"Family Head Wu, we're a family from now on. There's no need to be so polite!"
Great Elder Huo said with a proud smile. He was wearing a linen robe, and his eyes were sharp. His body unconsciously emitted a strong sword intent.
"Yes, yes! Great Elder Huo, please come in! "
Hearing Great Elder Huo's words, Wu Shang's smile grew wider. He personally welcomed Great Elder Huo and the others into the bustling Wu family mansion.
Suddenly, the entire Wu family mansion became very lively. All the families came forward to greet them, wanting to get closer to the Mountain Breaking Sword Sect. The Qin family was directly isolated.
"Brother De, what should we do?"
Looking at the situation, Madam Jin Yi was at a loss. She could imagine that the Qin family would no longer have a foothold in White Sword City.
"Xinmei, Ruolan, are you willing to sacrifice yourselves for the Qin family?" Qin De took a deep breath and looked at the pale-faced Qin Ruolan and Qin Xin with red eyes. He gritted his teeth and asked.
"I, I …"
Seeing Qin De's helpless eyes, the Qin sisters' hearts broke. They didn't know how to answer.
They knew the consequences of being Wu Shufeng's concubines, but seeing the Qin family's current situation, they knew that they had no other choice. If the Qin family was destroyed, their fate would be even worse.
Seeing Qin De's family in despair, Ye Chenfeng shook his head and said, "Family Head Qin, I have a good idea. We don't need to sacrifice Ruolan and Qin Xin to solve the Qin family's crisis!"
"What idea!"
Qin De was startled. He looked at Ye Chenfeng and asked loudly.
"Destroy the Wu family. This way, the Wu family will not be able to form a marriage alliance with the Mountain Breaking Sword Sect. The Qin family's crisis will also be solved!" Ye Chenfeng said indifferently.
"Ye Chenfeng, is there something wrong with your head? How can you still be in the mood to joke at a time like this? Do you think this joke is funny?" Qin Xinmei roared at Ye Chenfeng as if she had found a target to vent her anger on.
Qin De and Elder Yun were so angry that their bodies trembled.
Only Madam Jin Yi was deep in thought as she looked at Ye Chenfeng.
"Joke?" Ye Chenfeng smiled and said, "If you think this is a joke, then pretend that I didn't say anything."
After he finished speaking, Ye Chenfeng no longer paid any attention to the furious Qin De's family. With his hands behind his back, he leisurely walked towards the bustling Wu Clan Estate.
"Where is Qin De?!"
Just as Qin De was glaring at Ye Chenfeng with fire in his eyes, wanting to grab him and teach him a lesson, a deep voice resounded in the Wu Family Estate.
"Grand Elder Huo, Qin De is here!"
Hearing Grand Elder Huo's voice, Qin De's heart skipped a beat. The anger on his face was immediately replaced by fear. He immediately brought Madam Jin Yi and the others to the Wu Clan's main hall.
When he met Grand Elder Huo's sharp eyes and Wu Shang's mocking gaze, he immediately guessed that Grand Elder Huo was going to attack the Qin family before the engagement.
"Qin De, do you admit to your crimes?!"
Grand Elder Huo looked at the nervous Qin De with beads of sweat on his forehead. Sitting on the armchair, Grand Elder Huo spoke.
"Grand Elder Huo, I have always followed the Mountain Breaking Sword Sect's lead. What crimes have I committed?" Qin De kept thinking of countermeasures in his mind as he braced himself and asked.
"Qin De, let me ask you, did your Qin family send someone to kill my brother?!"
Wu Fandie, who was wearing a red cheongsam embroidered with a phoenix pattern, said with tears in her eyes. Her face was smeared with light makeup, and her appearance was comparable to Qin Ruolan's.
"Fandie, you've wrongly accused my Qin family. Ever since we found out about Shu Shan's death, our Qin family has been searching for the culprit to avenge him," Qin De immediately explained.
"Patriarch Qin, don't be in a hurry to explain. I have a few questions for you!"
Standing beside Wu Fandie, the tenth disciple of the Mountain Breaking Sword Sect, Wan Ziao, who was wearing a luxurious robe, a crown on his head, and a white jade belt on his waist, said slowly with a hint of arrogance on his face, "I heard that someone from your Qin family was present when Shu Shan was killed. Is that true?"
"Yes!"
Although Qin De was the patriarch of the Qin family, he couldn't help but lose his imposing manner in front of a true disciple of the Mountain Breaking Sword Sect.
"At that time, someone from your Qin family was sitting at the same table as the culprit. Is that true?!" The aggressive Wan Ziao continued to interrogate.
"Yes!"
Qin De revealed a bitter smile as he admitted with a slightly trembling voice.
"According to the shopkeeper of the Celestial Immortal Abode, the culprit knows someone from your Qin family. Is that true?" Wan Ziao revealed a cold smile.
"No, no, my Qin family doesn't know the culprit at all. Young Master Wan, please don't listen to rumors and wrongly accuse my Qin family!" Qin De's heart trembled as he hurriedly defended himself.
"Hmph, wrongly accuse you?" Wan Ziao snorted and said, "Qin De, if you dare to lie again, I'll cut you down with my sword."
"I'll take responsibility for my own actions. I was present when Wu Shushan died. Ask me if you have any questions!"
Qin Ruolan took a deep breath after seeing the pale Qin De who had sunk into deep fear. She stood out like a proud and lofty wintersweet.
"You were present!"
Wan Zihao revealed a thought-provoking smile. He looked at Qin Ruolan, who was wearing a white floral dress. Her skin was as white as snow, and her delicate face revealed a trace of tenderness. His eyes grew brighter and brighter.
On the other hand, Ye Chenfeng, who was standing to the side, revealed an appreciative smile. He admired Qin Ruolan's commitment and pride.
"Then let me ask you, who is the culprit?" Wan Ziao fearlessly sized up Qin Ruolan's delicate body and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know the culprit!" Qin Ruolan suppressed the fear in her heart and said while biting her wet lips.
"You don't know? I advise you to think carefully before you speak. If I find out that you dared to lie to me, not only will you be punished, your Qin family will also not be able to escape punishment! "Wan Ziao seemed like a superior who controlled life and death as he coldly warned.
"Ah, the Qin family is finished!"
"Yes, the Mountain Breaking Sword Sect is determined to make an example out of the Qin family and make the Wu family the number one family in White Sword City."
All the major forces smelled something unusual and started whispering to each other in secret.
However, they did not sympathize with the Qin family. The law of the jungle was always the rule of the Sword Domain and could not be changed.
Even the Bai family silently accepted this fact and was willing to give up the position of the number one family in White Sword City to the Wu family, who was close to the Mountain Breaking Sword Sect.
"Young Master Wan, the culprit really has nothing to do with my daughter. It is related to a guard that the Qin family just recruited!" In order to protect Qin Ruolan and the Qin family, Qin De had no choice but to push Ye Chenfeng out.
"Guard?" Wan Ziao revealed a cold smile and said, "Qin De, do you think I will believe your nonsense? It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, you won't tell the truth."
