Chapter 9 (1/2)
CHAPTER NINE (PART 1)
September the fifteenth, on the night of the full moon.
With people overcrowding the front of Fei Ying Bao, no matter for what reason they are here for, overall in the Jiang Hu, amongst the three cults and nine schools, the majority has come.
Liu Feng’s party arrives on September the fourteenth, at this time, they too were also preparing to watch the battle in the crowd.
Ji Chui Yu looks around at the situation, speaking with heartfelt words: “No matter whether the rapist is the devil that everyone has disgraced or not, if he really dares to come, you cannot deny that he is worthy of being a Jiang Hu person.”
Qu Qing Yin looks at him, “Is this you appreciating one another?” (She’s referring to them as fellow l.u.s.tful creatures)
Ji Chui Yu stares at her.
Liu Feng grabs hold of her hand, shaking his head, signalling that she should not keep provoking others.
Qu Qing Yin looks on with boredom, no longer saying anything.
Wherever you look, the Jiang Hu people are all whispering to one another, discussing the results of this battle as well as the reason why the two people held grudges since back then.
When the moon rose high into the sky, a shadow comes flying in, descending onto the stage in front of Fei Ying Bao.
The person who came, has das.h.i.+ng eyebrows with a pair of dazzling eyes, appearance is gentle and pretty, causing many who sees the rapist, unable to help but to express their surprise.
A lewd demon to actually have such a charming face, is this the heaven’s cruel joke on the people of earth?
“I have not come to see you.” Mo Zi Qi says as he settles on the stage, his one sentence stopping Shui Mu Yuan from saying his original opening speech.
“No matter who you have come for, as long as you are, we shall settle the scores between us today.”
Mo Zi Qi casts him a dark look, coldly laughing: “The scores between us?”
Shui Mu Yuan hatefully says: “Back then she left me for you, does she regret it now?”
Mo Zi Qi icily speaks: “In order to make her regret it, you were willing to scheme to have your own daughter to be dirtied and shamed?”
Shui Mo Yuan suddenly looks up to the sky, roaring with laughter, “Daughter? Haha……” He glares at Mo Zi Qi’s face which looks the same as back then, gritting his teeth as he speaks: “Shui Su Yu is but the vile sp.a.w.n of the adultery between you two dog-like people. How is she my daughter? It is you who had raped your own biological daughter, not a bad taste now is it?”(Note: dog-like refers to adulterers)
Once those words were out, one rock receives thousands of pounding waves, the on looking Jiang Hu people were instantly rendered restless.
Within the crowd, Liu Feng notices that in that moment, the hand that was holding onto his, suddenly tightens.
Mo Zi Qi continues to coldly look at his opponent, “Shui Mu Yuan, I have never shamed your character. You say we are dog-like people, but back then, why did you make Ah Yu marry you and become your wife? Besides, you clearly knew that I fell in love with her first.”
Shui Mu Yuan sounds a ‘heng’, “But since she had married me, then she should honour the principles of womanhood.”
“Her heart was not with you, marrying you, was because she was pregnant with your child. Why should she, for a man like you, honour those d.a.m.n principles of womanhood?”
“What right do you have to say Shui Su Yun is my daughter? If she is my daughter, back then, would she have wanted to take her away?”
“A person like you, what right do you have to make her believe that you would be a good father?”
“I don’t believe it.”
“So what if you don’t believe it? This is the fact.”
“No……this isn’t true……no……” Not knowing when she had shown up below the stage, Shui Su Yun shakes her head, tears streaming down her face, she looks up at the two men onstage, her footsteps staggering.
Everyone looks at her with eyes filled with sympathy, within all the happenings between them, she is definitely the victim in this mess, through and through.
Shui Mu Yuan points his sword at Mo Zi Qi, “I don’t believe a single word you have said. In order to deny the crime of raping your own daughter, you point the blame elsewhere. I will not believe you.”
Mo Zi Qi sounds an icy laugh, “I am already known to all as the most satanic demon, what crimes do I not dare to admit? As long as it is a crime I committed, then there shall not be anything that I dare not admit.”
“Then why did you still come to this meeting?”
Mo Zi Qi looks around the audience in an inquiring manner, proudly standing there, “I have already said, I have not come here to see you. Right now, you are not even capable of taking on a hundred attacks from my hands, because of you I have made this trip and had no choice but to reveal myself.”
Shui Mu Yuan was angered to the point his face turned pale. “Right now, are you disregarding the fellow Jiang Hu people here? You think that coming here, you can still leave?” He hatefully asks.
Mo Zi Qi conceitedly says: “Since I have come, then I have the capability to leave.”
His words sent the crowd into an uproar, within a moment they were burning with rage. The thing Jiang Hu people holds highest in regard is the word ‘Míng/ 名’ (means name or reputation). With the rapist publicly looking down on these heroes, he has no doubt caused public outrage.
“No matter who it is you have come here for, since you are here, then you shall leave your life here.”
Shui Mu Yuan’s words expresses the voice inside of many others, after all, Mount Zhong Yi Manor’s two hundred thousand liang reward money is for real.
Mo Zi Qi’s one sleeve fends off Shui Mu Yuan’s sword attack, at the same time he works his inner energy, his voice booming in all directions, “I know you are definitely here, you have done so much to scheme against me, could it be you don’t dare to reveal yourself now?”
To many Jiang Hu people with weak inner energy, his voice painfully shook their eardrums to the core, leaving them with no choice but to take desperate measures and put themselves at a safe distance away, at the same time, their hearts shook with horror, realising that the rapist’s inner energy runs so skilfully deep.
Shui Mu Yuan simultaneously attacks nineteen times, but each attack is met with thin air, his heart turns desperate, and he loudly shouts, “Against such a demon, there is no need to keep to the principles of the Jiang Hu, everyone attack together!”
Qu Qing Yin turns her head to look at Ji Chui Yu, “Is this how the highly regarded great leader you speak of do things?”
Ji Chui Yu rubs his nose with disinterest, but still have words to say: “Against someone like the rapist, could it be, we still have to keep to the principles of the Jiang Hu?”
“No need.” Qu Qing Yin changes the topic, “But, since he has been invited here for a battle, then they shouldn’t do this.”
Ji Chui Yu shuts his mouth.
On the stage, Shui Mu Yuan clearly isn’t Mo Zi Qi’s opponent. Some Jiang Hu people standing at the sides was already feeling tempted, but does not want to be the first to charge in. For a moment, no one makes a move.
Qu Qing Yin sounds a barely audible sneer, Liu Feng once again tightens his hold on her hand, giving it a few squeezes.
Qu Qing Yin side glances him.
“Your one word can cast away nerves of steel.” He says.
Qu Qing Yin nods her head, her eyes returning to the stage.
