The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot-Chapter 753 - 609 Xie Family, out! [2 updates]
Chapter 753: 609 Xie Family, out! [2 updates]
On the surface, Patriarch Xie spoke politely, his tone amiable.
But in reality, his entire being emitted a message.
Being able to marry into the Xie Family is your good fortune, don’t be ungrateful.
Upon hearing this, Xie Feng felt stifled, extremely displeased.
If it were the previous Ying Zijin, an ordinary person, marrying into the Xie Family, she could only serve as a decorative vase.
No one in the Xie Family would respect her, and they would even take a few more wives for Xie Yu.
But now, Ying Zijin was one of the leading young geniuses in the Ancient Medical Field.
She was already a personage on par with Lin Qingjia and Xie Nian.
Once she married into the Xie Family, he would have to call Ying Zijin his elder sister-in-law, and be inadvertently suppressed by her.
Xie Feng truly did not want to accept this.
Ying Zijin lifted her eyes, her gaze sweeping over the area, her voice cool and distant, "Not accepting, not marrying, not interested."
Xie Feng’s eyes turned coldly sharp in an instant, "You—"
Patriarch Xie raised his hand to stop Xie Feng, "Miss Ying, I know our request is rather sudden, but you really need to consider it carefully."
He smiled again, "You have been in the Ancient Medical Field for half a year now, you should know that my Xie Family is the number-one clan in the Ancient Martial World."
"As for Yu’er, he will be the future head of the Xie Family; marrying him, you would become the Matriarch of the Xie Family. His Ancient Martial Cultivation is very high, and he can certainly protect you."
Xie Feng held back his temper, "My elder brother is even more formidable than Cheng Jin, and we have prepared a generous bridal tribute for you; what more do you want?"
Ying Zijin didn’t even look this time, simply walking out.
Having been ignored and refused time and again, Patriarch Xie grew angry.
He stretched out a hand, intending to grab the girl’s shoulder.
A cold shout fell, nearly shattering eardrums.
"Xie Family, get lost!"
Patriarch Xie had not yet recovered when Foo Xi slapped him out the door.
He tumbled down the steps and struck a large tree outside.
With a "crack," the tree broke off at the impact.
Patriarch Xie spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed on the ground, unable to move.
Not so long ago, he had been beaten up at the Judicial Hall, and his injuries had not yet healed.
Now, having endured another slap from Foo Xi, his bones were broken.
Xie Feng frowned, "Who are you? Are you seeking death?"
Patriarch Xie was just a patriarch.
In the major clans of the Ancient Martial World, the position of patriarch could be changed at any time, so his status in the Xie Family wasn’t as high as Xie Nian’s.
Even if Xie Nian was dissatisfied with him, a word to the Elders Council could make the Xie Family replace their patriarch.
But after all, he bore the title of patriarch, representing the Xie Family in public.
Could someone actually dare to challenge the authority of the Xie Family?
"I think, the one seeking death is you." Foo Xi sneered, raising his hand again.
Another slap sent Xie Feng flying out as well.
Xie Feng’s Ancient Martial Cultivation was lower than Patriarch Xie’s, making his injuries even more severe.
The Xie Family guards who had followed were shocked at this scene.
Since when did people in the Ancient Medical Field know Ancient Martial Arts?
"Ancestor!" Foo Chen followed out, then turned to look at the girl, "Miss Ying, are you all right?"
Wow, their family’s ancestor was becoming more violent by the day, true to being a disciple of his master.
Patriarch Xie barely regained consciousness when he heard this address, terrified, "Ancestor?"
"Is this the Ancestor of the Foo Family, the premier figure in Ancient Medicine?"
"What does the Xie Family mean by this?" Foo Xi’s expression chilled, pausing briefly, "Teacher... this girl has just rescued the Ancient Medical Field from dire straits and has helped me quite a bit. Are you Xie Family going to forcibly take her in marriage like this?"
Patriarch Xie’s mouth opened, but before he could speak a word, another mouthful of blood surged up and spewed onto the ground.
Xie Feng could speak, but he dared not.
"I’ll say it again, get lost!" Foo Xi’s gaze turned frigid, "A prestigious major clan that only knows how to coerce, what trash."
Both Patriarch Xie and Xie Feng had lost the ability to move.
The several guards had no choice but to spend a considerable sum to purchase two stretchers, carrying the two men back.
Foo Chen decisively transferred the money to Ying Zijin.
Money is an external possession; all he needed to do was hold onto the powerful coattails.
"You’ll take my place at the meeting," Foo Xi said. "The Foo Family will rely on you to stand firm in the future; take this chance to train."
Just as Foo Chen thought about going to sleep: "..."
He had no choice but to agree, dejectedly returning to the meeting room.
When they were alone, Foo Xi spoke up, "Master, I am afraid that the Xie Family might pull something else. I will escort you out."
Ying Zijin nodded in agreement.
The two headed towards the entrance and exit of the Ancient Martial World.
"Master, let me help you find Senior Feng Xiu," Foo Xi broke the long silence on the way, "This can’t go on. Do you have anything that he would recognize?"
With the Xie Family’s overbearing conduct, only Feng Xiu’s intervention could now protect Ying Zijin.
It used to be the master who protected them, but now it was their turn to repay him.
Ying Zijin shook her head slightly, "No, and even if there was, you still wouldn’t be able to find him."
Feng Xiu’s current level of Ancient Martial Cultivation surpassed hers by far; she couldn’t calculate his whereabouts.
Thus, she wasn’t even sure if Feng Xiu was still alive.
Foo Xi let out a sigh, "It’s my incompetence, my cultivation is too low."
She possessed over two hundred years of Ancient Martial Cultivation, yet compared to the Ancestor of the Xie Family, she was insignificant.
"It’s fine," Ying Zijin patted her shoulder to comfort her, smiling, "I mostly reside in the imperial capital anyway. With the Judicial Hall guarding the exit, none of the Xie Martial Artists above the level of Grandmaster can leave the Ancient Martial World."
"We can contact each other via cell phone if anything happens."
Fu Yunshen had already placed the Xie Family on the prohibited list at the Judicial Hall.
Any Xie Martial Artist with a hundred-year cultivation could not leave the Ancient Martial World.
This decision was supported by the Elders Council because the Xie Family’s methods were indeed too ruthless and bloody.
When the Ancient Martial World was established, ancient martial artists agreed never to cause significant harm to the common populace.
Of course, there was another reason—the advance of technology.
If a nuclear bomb were to go off, even the strongest ancient martial artist would perish.
The Left Protector neither objected nor cared.
After all, the Xie Family did not favor the outside world either.
Foo Xi nodded, and only after she had seen Ying Zijin leave the Ancient Martial World did she breathe a sigh of relief.
She stood in place deep in thought for a long while before she made up her mind.
No matter what, she had to find Feng Xiu.
**
The Xie Family.
It took Patriarch Xie three whole days of recuperation before he could turn over.
Xie Feng was young and recovered faster, but he still couldn’t get out of bed.
This affair of the Xie Family became known, but the other factions watched as if it were a joke.
"Why not ask the Ancestor for advice and just kill that Foo Xi?" A murderous look flashed in Xie Feng’s eyes, "Let’s see how she can act so arrogantly then!"
"Without her, who else could protect Ying Zijin?"
Foo Xi had hidden her depths well indeed.
Dual Cultivation of Ancient Medicine and Ancient Martial Arts.
Even their Xie Family had not obtained this intelligence.
"Are you insane?" Madam Xie scolded, "She is the most respected figure in the Ancient Medical Field, could the Xie Family move against her? Killing her would mean the Xie Family could never find another Ancient Medicine practitioner again. Could you think before speaking?"
Her son was good in all aspects.
But he had a simple mind with well-developed limbs.
Xie Feng was impatient, "What should we do then? Just watch big brother lying there? As long as he does not awaken, our faction’s strength is greatly limited, and the position of the next family head will surely be snatched by another faction."
"Nian Nian is right that there always will be a way," Patriarch Xie pondered, "I was too anxious myself. Anyway, let’s talk again if we think of a good solution."
Madam Xie hesitated, "I think, maybe we should not proceed with this. Didn’t the Great Elder say upon his return that he found a way to awaken Yu’er? Let’s wait."
"I always feel that Ying Zijin is not simple. What if it brings disaster upon the Xie Family?"
"What a joke," Patriarch Xie laughed upon hearing this, "Both the Lin and Yue Families also avoid the edge of the Xie Family. When it comes to overall strength, no one in the Ancient Martial World can compete with us!"
"Even the alliance leader of the Martial Arts Alliance is weaker than our Ancestor. The Ancestor alone has the power to destroy the entire Martial Arts Alliance. Do you think an Ancient Medicine practitioner could bring disaster upon the Xie Family? What a joke."
The Xie Family didn’t want Ying Zijin’s life, just a marriage alliance.
Once Xie Yu awoke, how many people in the Ancient Martial World would want to marry into their family?
A rare good opportunity.
Madam Xie fell silent.
Her words were indeed true.
Xie Nian was so arrogant because she had the support of the Ancestor of the Xie Family behind her.
Others in the Xie Family could come to harm and the Ancestor would remain unmoved, but should Xie Nian even be injured, the Ancestor would rage.
Xie Feng scoffed, "How can there be none stronger than the Ancestor? What about the Number One Ancient Martial Artist? He could take on ten ancestors with just one hand, right?"
"Your mother already told you to think before you speak," Patriarch Xie lamented, "What era is the Number One Ancient Martial Artist from? The Ancestor himself would have to greet him as a senior, how could she be related to the Number One Ancient Martial Artist?" freёnovelkiss.com
