”You guys… you guys are spouting nonsense!” Shui QianRou's maid, Die'er, finally rushed out . ”The little princess has suffered so much torture under Ling Tian just for our family and received so much suffering . But you guys cannot even separate good from bad, and berate her as such! Where is your conscience? Are you people still human?!” Die'er felt her entire body tremble from rage, pointing at Shui QianGang and the rest . Her eyes were already bloodshot with anger as she spewed nonstop .
”Audacious! This is an internal family meeting, and the decisions are made by the family members! Just who do you think you are! A mere servant girl dares to raise her voice here, does this place have room for you to talk? Come, men, drag her out and beat her to death!” Shui QianHu scolded in agitation . Never in his dreams would he think that a mere servant girl would have the audacity to point at his nose and scold him, was she tired of living?!
'Who dares?!” Shui QianRou stepped forward at this time, protecting Die'er as she raised her own voice, ”She's my maid, since when was it your turn to lecture her? Shui QianHu, what you do you think you are?!”
”I'm nothing at all, but still better than that babbling s.l.u.t over there! Just based on how your subordinates dare to be so unbridled, there's nothing much that can be said for you as well . Why, do you think you're qualified to lecture me?” Shui QianHu snarled, slapping the table as he stood up!
”You're right, you're nothing at all actually . Just based on what you have, how would I even bother to deal with you? If you really wish to seek death, then this lady here will grant you your wis.h.!.+ If you want to touch my maid, just you Shui QianHu, you're not worthy!” Shui QianRou did not give in at all, a fire blazing in her eyes .
Shui QianHu laughed out maliciously, ”You think I'm scared? Bring it on! We'll compare our moves!”
The two of them drew their swords from their sheath and moved out towards the courtyard .
A fight with their lives on the line!
”Presumptuous! Are all of you rebelling?!” The First Elder slapped the table in anger . ”Creating such a fuss, whatever is next?! Do you guys still place this old man in your eyes?!”
With this shout, both fighters stopped completely but still continued to stare daggers at each other, just like c.o.c.ks fighting for dominance .
”Hmph! Shui QianHuan was mediocre and incompetent, causing our hidden forces of over a decade to be completely uprooted by our millennium-long enemies . He himself even barely survived by a fluke . To think that this trash of a sister is even better, to curry favor to her love, she even sold out the entire Shui Family! You brother and sister pair are really geniuses!” On one side, Shui QianJiang spoke with a weird tone, attempting to fan the flames .
”All shut your mouths for this old man!” The First Elder yelled once again . ”Did we travel over a thousand miles to here just to hear you guys quarrel?! Bickering like children, how scandalous, how are you people showing to others the bearing of an aristocrat?!”
”Then I would like to seek advice from First Elder . Since your honorable self mentioned that you have traveled a long distance to reach here, then if I may be so bold, what is the purpose of all of you traveling across the oceans to here? You do not wish to go against the Yu Family, and yet also do not wish to work with the Ling Family . As such, what is the purpose of you people coming over to Heavenly Star? Why come to Sky Bearing?” Shui QianRou almost wanted to cry out in anger, but she held back her tears, forcing out the words .
The First Elder indifferently glanced at Shui QianRou, snorting before he spoke, ”We'll definitely go against the Yu Family in time, and as for working with the Ling Family, I cannot just take it based on your words . The matter is too serious, and I have to personally meet with the people in command of the Ling Family . We will have to revise the collaboration . Just based on the previous method you've detailed, our Shui Family will never be able to accept such a humiliating cooperation, without benefits!”
Shui QianRou's heart turned cold at this moment, and she despairingly replied, ”First Elder's words mean that you do not believe in QianRou anymore? The family is rejecting my proposal now?”
A callous reply greeted her, ”This old man did not mean it that way, but now that I'm responsible for all the manpower in Sky Bearing, and also the one in command, I have to ensure the safety of our people as well as their benefits . I cannot let them sacrifice themselves blindly, as a dowry for others!”
Shui QianHai shouted out joyously, ”First Elder is indeed a person of virtue and moral standing, treating everyone partially . What a good 'not willing to sacrifice themselves as dowry for others', this is really apt!”
”Hehehe…” Shui QianRou was already angered to the extreme, but instead started laughing, coldly replying, ”Since that's the case, then I'll inform the Ling Family Courtyard and tell them that for the cooperation between us, my brother and I are completely pulling out . From today onwards, this brother and sister will wash our hands of any matters! And we'll immediately return back to the Heavenly Wind Continent, never to come to Heavenly Star again!”
”Impossible!” Shui QianJiang rejected flatly, ”Who would know whether you have anyone hidden among us already? You can choose not to talk or express your opinions, but you and Shui QianHuan are not allowed to leave! The majority of us came because of your so-called proposal, so at this moment, you want to absolve yourself of all your problems by leaving? How can it be so simple?”
