Chapter 311 Challenge
Wu Xiuwen was his apprentice, and Xin Zhen was his nephew;
Ma Yu, Qiu Chuji, Wang Chuyi and others from the Quanzhen Sect had done him many favors, and Master Yideng had also saved Huang Rong in the past.
No matter who it is, they are all a great help to him.
If possible, he did not want any conflict between the two sides, but now facing this situation, he was like a rat in a bellows, being bullied by both sides.
Guo Jing had no preference in his heart, but Huang Rong did.
She was saved by Master Yideng and she felt that she had met Zhu Ziliu too late. She watched both Wu Da and Xiao Wu grow up.
She herself had complaints with Qiu Chuji. Qiu Chuji had insisted on marrying Mu Nianci to Guo Jing and even called her a little witch. Although she did not take revenge for Guo Jing's sake, she still remembered it in her heart.
What’s more important is that she actually doesn’t have a good impression of Xin Zhen, and she has many fears in her heart.
At this time, Shi Qinggong actually refuted her husband Guo Jing in person. She couldn't help but feel angry and said, "It is not clear who is right and who is wrong in this matter. It is also a fact that Wu Xiuwen was seriously injured by Guo'er. As Wu Xiuwen's uncle, Mr. Zhu is justified to have such doubts. It can't be said that he doesn't give face to Guo'er, let alone to Quanzhen Sect.
We are gathered together today because we are facing foreign enemies and we are here to join hands in the great cause of resisting the Mongols. If we always get entangled in such trivial matters, then the so-called resistance against the Mongols will be nothing but a mirage.
Everyone, please listen to my advice. This matter is just a small matter. For the sake of the greater cause, even if you feel wronged, how about just forbearing for the time being?"
Huang Rong's words were full of righteousness, and many of the heroes cheered.
"Boss Huang really has the big picture."
"Yes, well said, Boss Huang, I support you."
"..."
Xin Zhen frowned. Huang Rong's words seemed righteous, but they were biased.
He said that [it was a fact that Wu Xiuwen was seriously injured], but [it was not clear who was right and who was wrong], Zhu Ziliu's shouting was [as it should be], and the face he lost was [not a lack of respect]. Then he said something like [resisting the Mongols was the most important thing at the moment], and so on. It was a bunch of high-sounding words that meant that if he wanted to pursue the matter, he would be disregarding the overall situation.
Xin Zhen was able to keep his temper, but Shi Qinggong and his men were young and full of vigor, so how could they hold back? Sang Qingzhao shouted, "Boss Huang, this is such a big hat, we dare not wear it.
The anti-Mongol cause naturally comes first, but if internal problems are not resolved, it will be a huge hidden danger.
If things are not explained clearly, everyone will feel resentful. It would be fine if it were normal times, but when it comes to the great cause, we cannot be so wishy-washy, otherwise everyone will be resentful, and then we will be afraid of being stabbed in the back.
"Boss Huang, don't say it's impossible. Today is the Heroes Conference, and someone attacked my junior brother. If he were on the battlefield, who knows what would happen!"
Sang Qingzhao was not only young and hot-tempered, but also had a particularly sharp tongue. His words, "I'm afraid of being stabbed in the back" and "Someone attacked my junior fellow apprentice," immediately made Huang Rong very embarrassed. This was a satire on Wu Xiuwen's sneak attack on Xin Zhen. As Wu Xiuwen's master's wife, Huang Rong should also take the responsibility for not teaching his disciples strictly.
Zhu Ziliu was also angry when he saw that Guo Jing and his wife were rebuked for speaking for him. He sneered and said, "Then how do you think we should solve it?" Shi Qinggong said, "It's simple. Mr. Zhu will use the One Yang Finger to wake Wu Xiuwen up, ask him why he attacked my junior brother, and then apologize to my junior brother.
As for Mr. Zhu, he scolded my junior brother in public without any reason. This incident greatly damaged my junior brother's reputation and also brought disaster to Quan Zhen's reputation. Mr. Zhu should also apologize in public!
Once these two things are accomplished, today’s matter will be over.”
Zhu Ziliu's face darkened when he heard this. This was obviously a slap in the face. How could he do such a thing? Although it was not clear why Wu Xiuwen did this, it was probably true. If this matter was really confirmed, the Wu brothers would be charged with ingratitude in the future. How could they continue to walk in the martial arts world?
His behavior would inevitably affect the dignity of his master. If he wanted the Quanzhen Sect to bow down, everyone would think that Master Yideng was afraid of the Quanzhen Sect. Wouldn't he be looked down upon in the future?
Zhu Ziliu shook his head and said, "There are side effects to waking up a comatose person with the One Yang Finger. It will greatly damage the body of the person being rescued. This is absolutely not allowed."
Shi Qinggong said: "Then you should sincerely apologize to my junior brother."
Zhu Ziliu said angrily: "It is a fact that Yang Guo hurt my nephew. Now the right and wrong are still unclear. What's wrong with me blaming him?"
Shi Qinggong asked, "So Mr. Zhu has decided not to apologize?"
Zhu Ziliu flicked his sleeves and said, "What have I done wrong?"
Shi Qinggong laughed and said, "Then let's follow the rules of the martial arts world and lend a hand, Mr. Zhu. If you win, we will swallow the loss. If we win, Mr. Zhu, you know what to do, right?"
Zhu Ziliu looked at Hao Datong and Sun Buer who were sitting upright and said, "Master Hao, Master Sun, don't you want to say something?"
Hao Datong had been ignoring everything since the beginning of the conflict, with his eyes slightly closed. When he heard Zhu Ziliu's question, he smiled and said, "Mr. Zhu, we are participating in the Heroes Conference. The head teacher ordered Guoer to lead the team, so he should be in charge of this matter."
After these words were spoken, the crowd of heroes finally understood why when they went over to greet the Quanzhen Sect, Hao Datong and Sun Buer didn't say much, but it was Yang Guo who was greeting everyone. So that was how it was.
But then they became suspicious. Yang Guo was just a young man of about twenty years old, and a fourth-generation disciple. Today, not only Zhao Zhijing, Zhen Zhibing and other top third-generation disciples came, but also Hao Datong and Sun Buer, two of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen. How could they let Yang Guo, a fourth-generation disciple, take charge of the situation?
This is really strange!
Zhu Ziliu was also stunned, but when he looked closely at the Quanzhen people, he saw that their expressions were not joking but sincere. He believed it in his heart, but how could a young man who was the same age as his nephew be the head of the Seven Quanzhen Masters?
Zhu Ziliu pondered in his heart. The other party suggested using martial arts to determine right and wrong. This was also a common practice in the martial arts world. When both parties felt that they were not wrong, using martial arts to resolve the problem was a good way.
If he were to evade at this moment, he would be considered as being afraid. How could Zhu Ziliu lose face for Master Yideng? He could only accept the challenge.
Zhu Ziliu made up his mind, looked at Xin Zhen and asked, "Who will you Quanzhen send to fight?"
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Let me do it."
Shi Qinggong stepped forward and said, "Junior brother, why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? It's natural for us to do such a small thing."
Shi Qinggong looked at Zhu Ziliu and said, "Mr. Zhu, you are the disciple of Master Yideng, and you are of the same generation as my master. If I fight you alone, it would be disrespectful to you. We are the fourth generation of disciples. Do you think it is okay for me to fight you with the Tiangang Beidou formation?"
