"Reporting to the young master, Qin Yun has defeated the three great divine families, the Nan family, the Murong family, and the Qi family. No one below the upper Mingyuan realm can defeat him with a single move!"
"Young Master, Qin Yun has defeated the top genius of the Fei family again, breaking through the peak of Ming Yuan with the eleventh level of Lian Zhen! The winner will be decided in ten moves! Kyoto is already in an uproar!"
"Young Master, Qin Yun has defeated three more peak Mingyuan masters. I declare that today is the end of the day. Tomorrow, I will fight the Ling family's Tongxuan realm masters..."
"Young Master, the bet on this battle has already been made in Kyoto. Judging from the situation, it is not favorable for us..."
As time went by, a series of reports came from outside. The more they listened, the uglier the faces of the people here became. Even Chu Tianxiao narrowed his eyes slightly and gently knocked on the table...
"The blood sacrifice luck is simply abnormal. Qin Yun has probably become someone's chess piece now, but this chess piece itself is also a big trouble..."
"Hmm... this is a serious problem..."
Chu Tianxiao looked at Mu Liuling, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes...
At this moment, a report with hidden anger came from outside again: "Young Master! It's bad. Qin Yun has made his past events public and compiled them into a booklet. It has been handed over to "Shuxiang Tiandi" for publication. Now the public opinion in Kyoto is gradually leaning towards Qin Yun's side..."
As he said that, the person handed a booklet to Chu Tianxiao. He took it and looked at it, and his pupils shrank... He saw that the whole booklet used pseudonyms, but anyone who knew a little bit of the inside story could tell who was who...
In the book, Qin Yun appears as a very pitiful person, while Mu Liuling is portrayed as an unfaithful, arrogant and hateful shrew. The book says that Qin Yun and Mu Liuling were betrothed, although Mu Liuling was not worthy of Qin Yun in terms of status - this is actually a bit debatable, after all, Qin Yun is not a legitimate child, but a concubine's child. If it weren't for his talent, he would not have any status in the Qin family. It was just that the Qin family announced that Qin Yun would be the young master of the family a few days ago when they learned that Qin Yun was still alive, so this was completely true in the eyes of the masses who did not know the truth - but despite this, according to the book, Qin Yun had no prejudice against Mu Liuling, until Qin Yun fell from the clouds three years ago, and Mu Liuling actually climbed up another high branch... Everyone thought she ran away from home, but in fact, she actually... hooked up with someone and eloped...
In the book, the name of "someone" was not directly stated at the beginning, but after a series of stories, everyone could see that it was an innuendo... Then, the book focused on the scene of "breaking off the engagement", and analyzed Qin Yun's "humiliation" at that time in great detail, and repeatedly mentioned how "triumphant" Chu Mu and Chu Tianxiao were at that time... He also wrote about the subsequent confrontation with Chu Tianxiao in the book, but his position was completely biased, the events were smeared and changed, and the parts that could not be explained were vaguely glossed over... In short, in the following series of events, he successfully portrayed Chu Tianxiao as a wicked young man who stole someone's wife and took revenge wantonly, while Qin Yun was a suffering young man who "would rather die than surrender", "fought again and again after repeated defeats", and vowed to never surrender to evil forces...
In a word, this is about how despicable Chu Tianxiao is, and Qin Yun is trying his best to be pitiful to gain sympathy...
The booklet… went on until Qin Yun was deceived by Chu Tianxiao, lost his beloved Qin Jiaojiao, his inner demons rose, he got lost in the Xionghuang Mountains, and finally became a disciple of Muxin by chance. As Chu Tianxiao expected, this part was written very short, with only a few sentences to cover it. Finally, the booklet wrote that those who work hard will be rewarded. Qin Yun did not give up and finally fought back. He wanted Chu Tianxiao to know, and everyone in the world to know…
Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west!
Don’t bully the young because they are poor!
After reading the whole thing, Chu Tianxiao sighed in his heart: "It's a pity that this guy doesn't write a novel. If it were me, this would be a standard online novel, except that the sad part is a bit long... Well, probably all readers think that now the protagonist has finally risen up, and after going through hardships, he is finally going to have fun?"
To be honest, even though Chu Tianxiao knew the whole truth, he was almost involved in the story when he read the book. He didn't expect Qin Yun to have such a solid foundation...
Shaking his head, Chu Tianxiao handed the booklet to Chu Zhongtie. After reading it, he was almost furious: "Does this person still have any conscience when he confuses right and wrong like this?"
"I can roughly understand what Qin Yun is doing now... He wants everything to be perfect, and wants this duel to be 'honest'..."
“… Tianxiao, from what you said before, since Princess Tianmei is on our side, can we…” Chu Zhongtie didn’t finish his words, but Chu Tianxiao shook his head and said, “The enemy is very smart. They just used the form of a novel biography, and the names of the characters in it were completely changed. There was not a single word about Princess Tianmei. Even the place where she should have been in reality was changed to another plot. She didn’t get involved with the powerful and didn’t offend the high-ranking officials. She completely separated the two and made it impossible for people to find any faults… Besides, ‘Shuxiang Tiandi’ is a time-honored bookstore with a wide range of sales channels. If it was closed down as soon as this book was published today, it would make the rumors come true…”
Chu Zhongtie frowned when he heard this: "Are we just going to let them publish this book and smear us at will?"
"Actually, this matter is easy to handle..." Chu Tianxiao looked at Mu Liuling and saw her nod slightly. He continued, "Just ignore them."
"Ignore? What do you mean?" Chu Zhongtie was a little confused, and then he heard Mu Liuling continue: "Qin Yun's move, in the final analysis, is to disturb my mind, so as to disturb the young master. As long as I accept the challenge, I will be trapped... Then I just need to remain unmoved and keep my mind focused. Let them say whatever rumors they want."
Chu Zhongtie said, "Miss Liu Ling, once this book is published, public opinion in Kyoto will be extremely unfavorable to you. Rumors are scary. As a girl, can you really... withstand it?"
"Well, if it was me before I followed the young master, I would have collapsed by now... But Liu Ling has been with the young master for so long, I am no longer the same person I was before."
"Right now, I only have one thought in my mind, and that is to win the decisive battle! Before that, they can say whatever they want."
"Liuling, I don't live for their gossip."
Hearing this, Chu Zhongtie nodded, secretly saying "good girl" in his heart, but Chu Tianxiao's eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he faintly read some unusual meaning from Mu Liuling's words...
Just when Chu Tianxiao felt something was wrong and was thinking about it, another report suddenly came from outside. It turned out that Qin Yun had recorded all of his battles today into Huiying Jade and sent someone to deliver it...
"Hmm? A demonstration?"
Several people opened it and took a look, and then... they all frowned in an instant...
"Actually... so strong?"
Especially Mu Liuling. The more she watched Qin Yun's actions, the tighter she clenched her fists, and the more resolute her expression became...
