Chapter 221: Silver Tongue

Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy

At the crack of dawn. A ray of golden sunlight broke through the dark night and shone on earth. Under the twilight, the magnificent Yu Emperor City appeared to be more splendid.

Many people in the city had woken since many didn’t sleep well the previous night. The civilians in the city spent night in terror, for fear that if the Bai Family and the Yu Family were to fight, they would be the ones to suffer.

"Look to the east~"

"They are here, finally!"

People were talking aloud, livening up the morning of the Yu Emperor City. Many people walked out of their home to look at the eastern sky. Many men were fascinated by what they saw.

From where the sun was rising up, a violet gold chariot slowly moved towards the city. The entire body of the chariot was built with violet gold with many gems inserted in it, looking very glamorous.

On the chariot stood two breathtakingly beautiful ladies, even more dazzling than the gems. Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang had changed into suites of soft armor. The one Bai Qiuxue wore was snow white, while Bai Xiashuang’s was fire red. The armors didn’t cover up all their bodies. Their white and slender legs, slim waists and ivory-like arms were exposed.

Bai Xiashuang had a red crossbow in her hand, bright and vigilant. Bai Qiuxue held a whip in her hand, which made her look very delicate instead of valiant.

One red, one white, one active, one motionless.

Either one of the twins was enough to make many men lose their minds. Now, there were two of them, even identical ones. Many young men in the Yu Emperor City felt their heart beats were uncontrollably beating faster, and they were completely enchanted.

The sun was rising as rays of morning sunlight shone brightly. Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang flew over from the east as if they were riding on the twilight. The rays of morning sunlight seemed to be here specifically for the twins. For many people, the twins were like fairies coming down from the heaven, stunningly amazing.

Many young masters of the Yu Family in the family’s compound were alarmed. Many of them even forgot the identity of the twins or the fact that they came from the Thousand-island Lake. Many young masters were intrigued, their eyes were filled with eagerness, and their breaths became shorter.

One of the twin sisters’ expression was calm as water, while the other was full of excitement. They raised their head in pride, glancing over the faces down on the ground, as if they were observing their subjects…

Liu Yi was standing after them. She was pretty as well, but she was neglected at this moment as if she was just a maid for the twins. Liu Yi actually wished that nobody would pay attention to her. Her body was tense as she was nervous.

The chariot slowly approached and arrived in the middle of the plaza. Bai Xiashuang said before Bai Qiuxue could utter any word. She cupped her fists in front of her chest and said, "I am Bai Xiashuang, a disciple of the Bai Family from the Thousand-island Lake. Together with my sister Bai Qiuxue, I am here to see your Family Patriarch, Yu Huashen. Please inform him for us."

The noise in the city gradually quieted down. More and more people were gathering on the plaza. Of course, nobody would dare to get too close. Scouts of the Yu Family were wandering around, exploring everything and striving to take control of the situation.

The Yu Family compound was seized in silence. Yu Huashen didn’t show up. After a moment, an old man walked out of the Yu Family with several warriors of the Eternal Realm. The white-haired old man had a powerful qi and energy, much more powerful than that of Yu Feinong. Clearly, he was at the same rank as Bai Leng, at the peak of the Eternal Realm.

Yu Feinong followed the white-haired old man. The six warriors of the Eternal Realm looked calm, neither happy nor angry. It didn’t look like that they were here to welcome the twins.

The white-haired old casually cupped his fists in front of his chest and said, "I am Yu Huaxian and I am the Chief Patriarch of the Yu Family. Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang, you are the pearls of the Thousand-island Lake. I have long learned that you are gifted and you are beautiful. Now I see that this is true."

Yu Huaxian continued after a pause, "What can I do for you two ladies now that you have crossed great distance to be here? If you are here as guests, I will welcome you on behalf of the Yu Family, and I invite you to go into the fortress to have a chat."

Yu Huaxian’s attitude was neither cold nor warm, neither humble nor pushy. Nobody could say anything said was wrong or that he had lost the elegance of a Big Family.

Inviting the twins to go into the fortress was to give the two an easy way out. If the two agreed, the Yu Family would treat them well.

"Hmm, hmm!"

Of course, Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang were not here to be guests. If they were here to have fun, they would have gone to the Heaven Martial City, not go to such length to the Yu Emperor City.

Bai Xiashuang coldly humphed and said, "Lord Yu, I am sorry but we are not here to be your guests. We are here to ask for justice done. If the Yu Family make us happy, we will enter your family. If not, we will never set foot in the Yu Emperor City again."

"They are really here to make trouble."

The several patriarchs of the Yu Family’s hearts were weighed down with worry but nobody said anything. Yu Huaxian smiled lightly and said, "Justice? What kind of justice do you need? When did the Yu Family offend you both?"

"Not offending!"

Bai Xiashuang said with a cold voice, "Your Young Family Patriarch almost killed my sister in the Tomb of the Dragon King. After our forefather learned about this, he sent us here to ask you how you want to deal with this. Do you want to just let it be?"

"What~"

The Yu Family was swept with a huge sensation. Many people were boiling with anger.

Yu Lingxu was killed by Lu Li in the Tomb of the Dragon King. After Lu Li got out, the Yu Family wanted to capture him but was stopped by Bai Leng who even destroyed two patriarchs of the Yu Family. In the end, Yu Feijia was killed by a mysterious powerful warrior of the Thousand-island Lake.

This thing had cost the Yu Family greatly. The Yu Family didn’t go to question the Thousand-island Lake or ask for justice. How could Bai Qiuxue and Bai Xiashuang be here to denounce the Yu Family publicly?

This was to confuse right from wrong, absurd to the utmost. Did they really think that the Yu Family was just a random family that could be bullied?

Yu Feinong and the other’s expressions changed for the worse, but Yu Huaxian’s expressions didn’t change much. He lifted his hand to signal a patriarch at his back about to talk to wait. Then he looked at Bai Xiashuang and said, "Are you wrong, ladies? Our Family Patriarch died in the Tomb of the Dragon King, and the killer comes from the Thousand-island Lake. Then two of patriarchs of our family were injured by Bai Leng. Yu Feijia died in the Thousand-island Lake. And you want justice from us?"

"Let me do the talking!"

Bai Qiuxue patted Bai Xiashuang’s shoulder and the latter stepped back. Bai Qiuxue walked up front and said with a gentle smile, "Patriarch Yu Huaxian, don’t try to confuse us. I was there to see the whole thing and nobody can be clearer about the matter than me."

"Yu Lingxu tried to kill me at the Dragon King Mountain. Lu Li was my escort so he killed Yu Lingxu to protect me. Later, warriors of your family wanted Lu Li dead. Since he belonged to the Bai Family, Uncle Leng only did what he did to protect us. Uncle Leng had the chance to kill your patriarchs but he bent the rules which was a great gesture on our part."

"As for the death of Yu Feijia, we don’t even know the identity of that mysterious warrior. If you want to seek revenge, be my guest and look for him. This has nothing to do with the Bai Family. Do you… understand?"

Bai Qiuxue’s tone was gentle, her reasons clear and organized. People somehow felt convinced by her words, as if a beautiful and delicate lady would not lie.

Her words caused a huge commotion in the city. Did it really happen as she said?

"Ridiculous!"

Yu Feinong could not stand it anymore. He smiled out of rage and said, "Lady Qiuxue, you are the one that is confusing us here. You said Yu Lingxu tried to kill you on the Dragon King Mountain? This is just one side of the story. You survived but not Yu Lingxu. This is a hard fact. No silver tongue can change this."

"One side?"

Bai Qiuxue gently smiled. Then she suddenly looked towards the Yu Family compound and shouted, "My sister Lian must be here at this moment. Please come out and see us."
