Chapter 2072: with translation of chapter title

Third Uncle, third uncle, oh no, oh no, the people of the White Sword Sect have come again!

A junior member of the Han family rushed in, shouting.

Han Shixin furrowed his brow deeply.

There were guests present; he didn't want to make a scene, so he said to the young man: "Qingshan, entertain the guests for a moment, I'll go have a look." He wanted to go face the people from the White Sword Sect.

At this moment, Yao Rang said: "Let them come in; this time they're not here to cause trouble."

"Yao elder brother?" Han Shixin said, puzzled.

Given Yao Rang's background and knowledge, he naturally understood Xiao Feng's strength. Although he didn't know that Xiao Feng had already met Ma Boshan of the White Sword Sect, he also knew that the White Sword Sect people couldn't make waves here, so he remained calm.

Han Shixin was different; he only knew that Xiao Feng had a significant background, but didn't know his strength, fearing that Xiao Feng, the young master, would see the Han family's situation, especially that he would learn of his daughter being entangled by someone, which would affect his impression.

Yao Rang said: "Go ahead; they're not here to cause trouble, otherwise they would have barged in directly."

Upon hearing that, Han Shixin felt it made sense; the people of the White Sword Sect were overbearing in Baishi Town, not putting any big or small clan in their eyes, always breaking down doors and entering directly.

This time they didn't barge in, but are waiting outside; could there be some plot?

"I'll go take a look first!"

Han Shixin left the hall and went outside.

Not long after, he returned with a strange expression, followed by a group of people from the White Sword Sect.

Xiao Feng's willpower had already captured the conversation outside; the arriving person was Ma Boshan, who also brought a young man and several mid-level experts of the White Sword Sect.

The group followed Han Shixin into the hall.

Seeing Xiao Feng sitting there, Ma Boshan's face immediately

broke into a smile, and speaking outside the parlor door he said: "White Sword Sect's Ma Boshan pays his respects to the immortal!"

The three middle-aged men and one young man who came with him also followed suit and performed the salute.

The three middle-aged men were fine, but that young man had his hands bound with rope, his upper garment removed, and a thorny branch placed on his back.

Obviously, he had come to apologize carrying a thorny branch.

This scene was exactly what left Han Shixin feeling incredulous.

Especially upon hearing Ma Boshan address Xiao Feng as an immortal, he was dumbfounded!

What on earth is going on?

"You wretched thing, kneel and admit your mistake!"

Ma Boshan noticed his disciple merely bowed, and immediately kicked him.

The young man staggered, fell into the parlor, rolled around, and looked very embarrassed.

Yet he dared not complain, hastily scrambled up, knelt, and wept to Xiao Feng: "Immortal, spare my life, immortal, spare my life! I did not intend to disturb Miss Han; I beg the immortal to see clearly and grant me a way to live!"

The commotion here drew quite a crowd, and many members of the Han family came over.

Seeing the once arrogant and overbearing young sect master of the White Sword Sect kneeling in the parlor, carrying a thorny branch to apologize, everyone wore expressions of disbelief.

"Has the sun risen from the west?"

"What's the situation? The White Sword Sect people failed to intimidate, so they're now putting on a pitiful act?"

"How strange, how strange! Quickly call Zichen over to have a look!"

Outside the door, outside the window, and at the back gate, many people had gathered.

Xiao Feng still didn't know what the feud between the two families was about, but could see that this young man had likely pursued Han Zichen unsuccessfully, using some means, but to no avail.

Ma Boshan feared that if he displeased Xiao Feng, the latter might annihilate the entire White Sword Sect, so he made things so formal.

At such a time he also couldn't put on a pleasant face; he could only wait for Han Zichen to arrive and then

speak.

Xiao Feng silently drank tea, saying nothing.

After a while, footsteps sounded outside, and Han Zichen ran in through the back door.

"Yo, Young Sect Master Chi Fei, how come you look so miserable?" Upon seeing the young man in the parlor, Han Zichen couldn't help but laugh.

The young man's name was Chi Fei; seeing her arrive, he immediately put on a mournful face and begged: "Zichen… no, Miss Han! Grandma! Seeing that we're fellow townspeople, I implore you to speak a few kind words before the immortal and let me go!"

Everyone's gaze fell upon Han Zichen.

Xiao Feng was also a bit curious, wanting to know exactly what was going on.

Han Zichen wore a smile, did not reply, but instead looked at Xiao Feng.

The two exchanged a glance; she had something to say but held back.

"What's going on, what did he do to you?" Xiao Feng asked.

Han Zichen wore a helpless expression: "He's just a rascal, relying on his slightly better family background, constantly trying to force me to become his concubine. I've refused many times, but he not only didn't restrain himself, he escalated, using my family as threats. Fortunately, after the launch of Myriad Heavens, my master arrived and drove them back several times. Otherwise…"

She didn't continue afterward, but everyone understood what she meant.

Upon hearing that, Chi Fei panicked, saying repeatedly: "No, no! I only harbor admiration for Miss Han, with no offensive intent; it's those lackeys who came up with bad ideas! Miss Han, immortal, please believe me, I'm not that kind of person, really! I swear!"

Han Zichen let out a light snort: "You make it sound easy; if it weren't for my master happening to appear, my father and several of my cousins would probably have been beaten into cripples by you. Young Sect Master Chi Fei, when you're in power you're arrogant and domineering, when you lose power you"

"'behave like a fawning dog; it's quite unsightly, don't you know?"

"'I know, I know, I was wrong, I truly was wrong! Please give me a way to live!' Chi Fei cried, tears and snot streaming down."

Today, the ancestor who had been in seclusion for dozens of years suddenly appeared, without a word stripped his upper garment, bound his hands with a thorny branch, and ran toward the Han household, scaring him out of his wits.

Upon learning that Han Zichen had actually clung to the immortal's thigh, he was even more terrified out of his wits; now he not only fears death, but also fears implicating everyone, causing the entire White Sword Sect, up and down, his fellow disciples, friends and relatives, uncles and elders, to all incur the immortal's wrath!

Han Zichen said nothing, looking at Xiao Feng, indicating she wanted him to decide.

Here Xiao Feng is the strongest, and it was only natural for him to preside over justice.

After listening to their conversation, Xiao Feng also roughly understood the situation.

Looking at Chi Fei kneeling and begging for mercy, Xiao Feng said: "Pursuing the girl you admire is not wrong in itself, but you rely on your power to bully others, oppress men and women, and even threaten their families—this crosses the line. Zichen is my friend; since you've come today, you won't leave empty-handed. I'll take one of your arms and one leg—do you have any objections?"

"No, I dare not, I dare not have any objections..."

Chi Fei knelt there, his heart trembling.

The immortal demanded one of his arms and one of his legs; even if his ancestors were here, it would be useless, and no one could save him.

Although he didn't want to become a cripple, if he dared to voice an objection now, what he would lose would be far more than just an arm and a leg.

"Miss Han..." he could only look at Han Zichen pitifully, hoping she would show leniency and spare him.

Han Zichen was glanced at twice by him, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Daoist Brother Xiao Feng..."

"Hmm, what is it?" Xiao Feng.

He had thought she had softened.

"It's too lenient for him; we should expel him together with the White Sword Sect, so we won't be annoyed by seeing him in the future."
