Soaring of Galaxia

From Qin Wushuang’s confidence, Mu Rong Xu could feel a type of firm conviction that allowed her to instill full confidence in him. She was also not as deeply worried and sick at heart for the future Black Water battle.

Whether or not he could acquire the bloodline of the Phantom Dragon, it would not matter. As long as Yan Zhuiyang and his group could not harm Qin Wushuang, then she would remain hopeful.

It would not matter if even all five people were to fail. At least, the Floating Snow House would have an excuse to reject the four powerhouses and would be freed from a difficult situation.

Upon returning to the Floating Snow House, Mu Rong Xu arranged the guest room for Qin Wushuang personally and assigned her most trusted subordinates to stay on hold.

Now, Mu Rong Xu was very much vigilant to the seniors of the Floating Snow House.

...

On the contrary, the two major leaders that had arrived first to the Floating Snow House were of the Hundred Swords Sect and the Vase Mound Venerable Clan. The leader of the Hundred Swords Sect was called Wu Xuanhu. Like the Vase’s Suzerain, Hu Qiurui, he was an elite warrior at the peak of the Profound Mysterious Stage in the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary. At the Xuan Yuan Mound, one could be classified as having a terrific life possessing such strength. These two powerhouses were similar to the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect and the Floating Snow House for they could also rank in the top twenty.

After these two elite warriors had arrived, immediately after, Lei Ming and Yan Guinan arrived together. These two were solemnly old partners for many years. It seemed they loved to come together in any situation.

Immediately, the Floating Snow House became bustling with activities. With the arrival of these four major warriors, the entire Floating Snow House had instantly appeared to emerge more brilliant. From a Floating Snow House that was usually referred to as a cold and bitter place, it was now filled with joy and pressure with the arrival of all these major figures.

Currently, only the leader of the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan had not yet arrived.

Inside the great hall of the Floating Snow House, Lei Ming spoke with a voice like a sudden clap of thunder, "Junior Brother Mu Rong, people of the Aspiring Throne Qin Clan might not have the courage to come once they learned of our presence. I think, we should just start. This is a small matter anyways. It’s a competition between juniors. In the end, us seniors would not bully the juniors. It would not matter even if the Aspiring Throne Mountain does not send anyone."

Mu Rong Qianji said with a smile, "Lei, there are still two more days until the final deadline, we are not in a hurry for this short while. Regardless of who wins and loses, we must have a clear-cut statement and allow everyone to accept it wholeheartedly. The Floating Snow House would not wish to offend any of you. I do not deserve your many acts of kindness for I would not wish to evoke conflicts from this matter. As the Floating Snow House is a small temple, we cannot afford to offend you."

Yan Guinan said with a smile, "Junior Brother Mu Rong, when speaking of this matter, everyone is complying in order to please others. As the young people have such enthusiasm, us old men are just here to join in the fun."

Mu Rong Qianji said sincerely, "Senior Brother Guinan, I have spoken these words with honesty. Therefore, I have invited all of you major figures and requested the Heavenly Emperor to send someone to oversee it. It was to clearly state the standpoint of the Floating Snow House. Regardless, the Floating Snow House would be unwilling to get drawn into the center of right and wrong due to young people’s dispute based on personal feelings."

"Junior Brother Mu Rong, rest assured. For this matter, it’s unlikely your Floating Snow House will be involved in any troubles."

"By the way, I heard that this time the son of Heavenly Emperor, Prince Xin Wuji, would be coming to oversee the situation? Junior Brother Mu Rong, you must feel honored!"

Mu Rong Qianji gave a long sigh. "Most likely his majesty valued this matter with importance. His majesty surely would not be willing to disturb the stability of the general situation due to this matter."

In the middle of their conversation, suddenly, the familiar sound of crying cranes had come from outside the Floating Snow House.

The expression of Lei Ming and Yan Guinan had changed slightly as they said, "It’s the prince."

Mu Rong Qianji also heard the movements and immediately went out with a group of higher-ups of the Floating Snow House to greet him. Yan Guinan and the other three leaders did not dare hold back so they also walked out to welcome him.

Xin Wuji still appeared with the same disposition of troops as he had went to the Heavenly Punishing Villa. Behind him there still stood a group of men of sacrifice, possessing incomprehensible strength.

"It’s an honor to meet with you, Prince Xin," everyone saluted with respect.

Revealing extraordinary bearing, Xin Wuji waved his hand and smiled. "Everyone, hav I come too late?"

Lei Ming said, laughing, "Of course not, there is still someone who is not yet here. Of course, it’s possible that he might not ever come."

"Oh? There’s someone later than me?" A trace of doubt flashed across the face of Xin Wuji, then he immediately understood something as he laughed, "It’s the Aspiring Throne Qin clan, am I right?"

Lei Ming said with a somewhat scorned tone, "Who else is there except them. I think the Aspiring Throne Mountain is determined to hide from any matter. Besides, to the Aspiring Throne Qin Clan, this Qin Wushuang is of little significance. Those old foxes would not act without some sort of incentive. Certainly they will not come."

Before he had finished the end of his sentence, a voice as the rolling and sudden clap of thunder shouted from the sky, "Little Lei Ming, is this how you talk behind people’s back?"

Breathtaking, this voice was just like the rolling thunder and sounded incredibly ear-piercing. It could almost take one’s breath away. Only red lights covered the sky until they instantly dropped to the ground.

Dressed in red attire from head to toe, a barefoot man stepped down from the red cloud. He sized Lei Ming from head to toe with a cold sneer and shot a few glares at him with a pair of provoking eyes.

Lei Ming snorted to himself, thinking, "What kind of show was this being put on before them?"

Of course, this man from the red cloud was Qin Yunran, the second leader of the Aspiring Throne Mountain Qin Clan. People had nicknamed him as Madman Ran. This name was not given in vain.

Sometimes, Qin Yunran would execute tasks through an unusually frantic style and it seems as though he never understood the art of controlling one’s emotions. This had allowed him to gain a unique reputation at the Xuan Yuan Mound.

Lei Ming was incredibly surprised. He had expected that Qin Chongyang would come, not Qin Yunran.

Before Qin Yunran, Lei Ming would not dare to act outrageously. Qin Yunran’s power surely exceeded his own.

Qin Yunran ignored Lei Ming and the others as he greeted Xin Wuji, "Your highness, it’s good that you have come to host the general situation, so these young and foolish people can not stir up any trouble. It’s wonderful!"

Xin Wuji demonstrated deep sophistication as he smiled lightly. "Chief Yunran is rarely seen and this time you have come to the Floating Snow House. It appears that the Qin Clan does care about matters relating to Qin Wushuang."

Qin Yunran laughed. "Anyone who are disciples of the Qin clan, I would care for. Of course, after all this Qin Wushuang is somewhat special. Ha ha, Your Highness, let’s talk inside. I brought some delicious drink which I initially had planned to have as the betrothal gift. Now it seems I better prepare another set of this betrothal gift later."

"Ha ha, Junior Brother Mu Rong, long time no see. You seemed to have lost weight. What, did you get a headache and become unable to sleep when you thought of marrying your daughter?"

Indeed, Qin Yunran did deserve to be called Madman Ran. His words had appeared somewhat erratic and could make one feel shocked. However, Qin Wushuang knew deeply that the Second Chief was not a person as he had appeared.

Lei Ming said with a cold sneer, "Madman Ran,you most likely won’t be needing to prepare it later on."

"Oh?" Qin Yunran glared at Lei Ming.

"It’s because it’s impossible for your Qin Wushuang to stand out. It’s impossible for a grand princess of the Floating Snow House to marry a rich kid from the human countries."

"Ha ha. Lei, there are many jokes in the world about being out of your league. You cannot speak such honest words, it will hurt one’s pride."

Lei Ming and Yan Guinan were like two insane dogs that craved to engage in combat. When they saw Qin Yunran, their craving for battle had them buzzing.

Qin Yunran looked at these two as if they were idiots and said, "Your Highness, you say that once a person starts to be shameless, they are truly invincible. It seemed that the name of newly rich should suit you more? How long did you guys reside at the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gate? You went as far as jeering at a disciple of the Qin clan. If I remembered correctly, the bloodline of my Qin clan started to pass down the legacy since the immorial era. We had always lived at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. Although the branches of the Qin clan was found throughout the world, the rich cultural deposits have always existed. Whatever the newly rich, I think it suits you guys more."

Indeed they were old enemies, regardless the occasion, they would not forget to mock each other.

Xin Wuji revealed a faint smile and said, "Let me speak a word. Your personal grudge can be taken care of privately. It doesn’t matter of the methods you use. However, this is Lord Mu Rong’s territory, it’s inappropriate if your voice overwhelms that of the host, right? Besides, you are intending to propose marriage to the Floating Snow House, so you should not leave a bad impression with the Floating Snow House, right? Or else, how could the Floating Snow House feel reassured to form in-laws with you?"

With Xin Wuji’s speech, finally this meaningless war of words had been settled.

After they entered the great hall, Mu Rong Qianji went straight to the point and talked in detail of his thoughts and proposition again. Then he said, "Everyone, I have invited all of you here for I am out of options. If I had five daughters, then it would not have been so much trouble. Unfortunately, I only have one daughter, but there are five young and exceptional talents. Therefore, I came up with this proposition as a test. Those who can rise above the others will be the best match for my daughter."

Xin Wuji said with a smile, "It’s rare for Lord Mu Rong t have such a refined and elegant attitude of mind. Everyone, if you harbor any different opinions, now is the time to speak. If you do not object, we will carry on as Lord Mu Rong has said."

Mu Rong Qianji said, "I already prepared five contracts and must get each one signed by the representatives of the five powerhouses. After all, this test carries risk."

"At the Xuan Yuan Mound, whatever you do, there will always be some risk. If you cannot bear such little risk, it means that you do not deserve to be a role model for the younger generations of the Xuan Yuan Mound. Junior Brother Mu Rong, my Heavenly Punishing Villa will not object. We can sign this contract right now."

"I share the same opinion as Senior Brother Guinan."

"All the same, let’s sign it." Of course the other two powerhouses would not voice different opinions.

When it was Qin Yunran’s turn, he shot a few glances at Yan Guinan and Lei Ming with a beaming smile. "All of you must strongly desire me to sign it, right? It’s rare for you to share the same thought as me, I had also hoped you guys would sign it immediately."

After he finished speaking, he began to laugh and signed the contract.

Stunned, Yan Guinan felt there were some implied meanings behind Qin Yunran’s words, yet he could not figure it out at the moment. Despite feeling some slight hesitation, in the end he was not suspicious of anything.

Upon seeing their cooperation, Mu Rong Qianji knew that this matter was an arrow in a bow and had no choice but to shoot forward.

After he saw that they finished signing, he presented it before Xin Wuji. "Please look over it, Your Highness."

Xin Yuji took it and carefully read through to evaluate. Once he verified that there were no loopholes, he put it away.

Qin Wushuang took in the whole scene. Mu Rong Xu’s nerves made her tighten with the progress of the preparation.
