Chapter: 900 (2/2)

“That annoying man always bothers my sister, his skin is even thicker than the city walls,” grumbled Mu Xue.

“Xue’er, don’t say such things,” her mother quickly stopped her. Even though she sounded as if she was rebuking her daughter, she had a pleased expression.

A man entered the hall. Qing Shui was quite surprised when he saw Young Master Yin. He was tall, muscular and almost a head taller than himself. Qing Shui had grown taller by an inch over this time, he was not short— being about 1.8m. However, the man in front of him was about 2m tall.

The man was fit and well-built, with a sort of sunshine boy look. His features were well-defined and he had a wild charm about him. This type of man was very attractive to some women.

“Third Uncle, Aunts, you are all here!” the man greeted Mu Qian and his wives.

“Yuanjiao, you’re here.” Mu Qian smiled.

“Yes, I heard that Mu Qing is back, so I came over,” the man gave a simple smile.

Unexpectedly, this sharp-looking man could actually give such a simple and honest smile. Even Qing Shui didn’t feel that this man had any visible flaws.

Mu Qing did not respond, nor did she even give the man a glance. The man did not seem unhappy about that, as if he was used to such a treatment. Qing Shui remained silent as he observed the situation. It was very odd, he felt as if he was a bystander watching a show.

“So, you’re Qing Shui. I am Yin Yuanjiao. Nice to meet you,” the man turned over to Qing Shui and smiled and even extended his hand out.

“I’m Qing Shui. Nice to meet you too!’

Qing Shui shook the man’s hand. When he held the man’s hand, Qing Shui didn’t try to pull his hand back because he knew that the man wouldn’t let go.

Qing Shui could feel an abnormally large amount of force from the man’s hand. This man had huge hands which made Qing Shui’s hand seem relatively small.

Qing Shui looked at Yin Yuanjiao. This man had contempt in his eyes, as if he viewed Qing Shui as a clown. Yin Yuanjiao’s temper rose because he didn’t want to see any other man close to Mu Qing.

Yin Yuanjiao sneered as a golden glow came from his hand and he wrapped his hand around Qing Shui’s hand entirely. Rashly, due to his overwhelming emotions, Yin Yuanjiao decided to crush Qing Shui’s hand.

Mu Qian acted like he didn’t notice but Mu Qing looked at Qing Shui, feeling a little worried. Yin Yuanjiao felt like killing Qing Shui on the spot when he saw Mu Qing’s expression.

Yin Yuanjiao increased the force he was exerting.

Qing Shui looked at Mu Qian. He didn’t know what this ‘Third Elder’ was planning, but Qing Shui was starting to hate this man in front of him. Since everyone acted this way, he decided that he will let the ‘Third Elder’ clean up the mess later!

Qing Shui squeezed his eyes shut and he channeled force to his hand!

Crack….

Oh…

Bone-chilling sounds of consecutive cracking sounds rang out, suddenly mixed with painful cries.

Qing Shui let go of that large deformed hand. At the same time, Yin Yuanjiao’s other hand tried to quickly hit Qing Shui.

Qing Shui went with the flow and blocked that blow!

Crack!

Another round of bone-cracking sounds filled the air…

The people who were present were quite shocked. They were well aware of Yin Yuanjiao’s strength. He was considered quite powerful among the younger generation. It was already shocking that Qing Shui could crush his hand, but no one expected that a mere block from Qing Shui would be strong enough to shatter the bones in Yin Yuanjiao’s arm!

That arm was totally crippled. Qing Shui was about to hit Yin Yuanjiao’s head with his palm, which would certainly kill him, but Mu Qian quickly stepped in and stopped Qing Shui, “Stop! Show him mercy…”

Mu Qian didn’t know what to feel. He only wanted to see how Qing Shui would react but this outcome was completely unexpected, even though his goal was reached.

Qing Shui didn’t plan to kill Yin Yuanjiao; he knew that Mu Qian would stop him. It was also clear that in truth, the Mu Clan and the Yin Clan weren’t really on good terms.

The reason for the tension between the clans was due to the matter between Yin Yuanjiao and Mu Qian. Yin Yuanjiao had begged the Elders to go to the Mu Clan to help get Mu Qian betrothed to him.

The Yin Clan was a large aristocratic family which had the same status as the Mu Clan. Besides, Yin Yuanjiao was quite talented, so a connection through marriage was a good thing for both of them. A marriage would help consolidate the position of both families. The Yin Clan had requested to set up a marriage between Yin Yuanjiao and Mu Qian but it ended badly, with the Yin Clan losing face.

The Mu Clan actually rejected them. If a request for marriage was set up between two large aristocrat families, they were usually not rejected. Children in such large clans usually didn’t have the freedom to chose their marriage partners. They were usually used as tools to create alliances between clans.
