Chapter 58 Who is Sophistry?



Even without her zither, Cen Xi could still defeat others with just her Broken Shadow Sword.

This is why the Hidden Sect seeks disciples with extraordinary talent. Only they can bring the Hidden Sect's internal energy cultivation to its fullest potential.

So Miss Wen could only run around wildly as she beat her, and that was even with her holding back.

"This girl is obviously letting you win. Don't fight her. Even if I help you, I still can't beat her."

Wen Qixi could naturally see that Cen Xi's martial arts skills were extremely high and that she was deliberately holding back, so she felt even more that it was Miss Wen who was being silly.

Seeing that her elder brother clearly didn't want to help her, and realizing that she was indeed unable to withstand the attack, she knew that if she continued fighting, this woman would reduce her to only her undergarment. So she quickly withdrew her hands.

He said:

"I'm not fighting anymore! Let my brother tell you how despicable you were for doing this."

“Good! Young Master Wen is a wise man, and I like dealing with wise people.”

After responding, Cen Xi also floated down, smiling at Wen Qi with a smile that made her body tremble.

"Is it because the young lady is quite skilled that she dared to create such a ridiculous farce?"

As soon as Cen Xi landed, she was verbally attacked by Wen Qixi.

“How can you say that, Young Master Wen? Many people on the street saw that it was your Wen family who forced me to come to your Wen family for the wedding ceremony. I have never told a lie. I just did not admit that I am a woman.”

"I'm being hunted down and can't easily reveal my identity, so it's not that I deliberately didn't want to tell you. So, Young Master Wen, do you still think that I played your Wen family for a fool?"

Cen Xi looked at Wen Qixi and calmly retorted.

Although she has a slightly wicked sense of humor, she won't do anything bad unless someone provokes her. So she feels she's in the right now.

"That girl was perfectly capable of escaping, so why didn't she run?"

Wen Qi looked closely at Cen Xi and thought the girl was very shrewd, as she had blocked all the questions he was about to ask.

"Your guards clearly wouldn't let me leave. If a fight breaks out, I might not be careful and end up killing them all. What will happen if my Flying Phoenix Mountain loses its business with you?"

Cen Xi sheathed the Broken Shadow Sword at his waist and replied lazily.

"Feifeng Mountain? Are you that girl from Feifeng Mountain?"

Wen Qi looked surprised.

"What, Young Master Wen, have you forgotten me so quickly? Don't you think I have a special connection with your Wen family?"

“When I told you I wanted to marry you, you refused, saying you were already married. Now look, I’ve entered your Wen family, but the status is a bit off; I’ve accidentally become your son-in-law.”

Cen Xi used a special technique to touch behind her ear, and she instantly transformed into her true appearance.

"You said you're the female mountain queen of Feifeng Mountain?"

Before Young Master Wen could speak, Miss Wen interrupted Cen Xi with a question.

"Yes! I am indeed the bandit king of Feifeng Mountain now. Miss Wen also wants to come back to the mountain with me and become a bandit?"

Cen Xi thought about it and realized that she could indeed live up to the reputation of a mountain bandit leader.

Feifeng Mountain was originally taken from Chen Dahei by her, so isn't she the mountain king?

"Do you know Jun Jianchou? I remember clearly, Jun Jianchou stayed at Feifeng Mountain for a while some time ago."

Miss Wen said with certainty.

"I know you. What do you want?"

Having experienced Yu's previous outburst of rage, she now thinks twice before dealing with him.

She didn't want to ruin a friendship that had lasted for years because of her actions.

"You ruined my wedding, so you have to give me a husband in return. I want him, I want Jun Jianchou, give him to me!"

Miss Wen said, feigning reluctance.

"Miss Wen, are you out of your mind? I was kidnapped here by you. Outside the Guangxiu Pavilion, your embroidered ball was already turned to dust. I didn't catch your embroidered ball, so how can you say that I ruined the wedding?"

Having learned from Zhu Yanniang's experience, Cen Xi would never push Yu Kuang out to take the fall.

"In short, you ruined my marriage, and I want you to pay for it! Brother, you talk to her, she's too good at talking, I can't win against her."

Miss Wen has always liked Jun Jianchou, and now it seems that Jun Jianchou and this woman have an unusual relationship. Even if she is in the wrong, she will still try to extort money from him.

“Young lady, it is you who ruined my sister’s marriage. If this matter blows up today, the reputation of our Wen family will be ruined, and the cooperation we discussed before will have to be put on hold. It will not benefit anyone.”

"How about this: you first acknowledge the status of the Wen family's son-in-law, and then after my sister finds a good match, you can gracefully retire, how about that?"

Wen Qi said sincerely.

"No! Brother! I don't agree. I want Jun Jianchou. Brother, you have to make her give Jun Jianchou to me."

Seeing that Young Master Wen did not mention Jun Jianchou, and even wanted a woman to be her husband, how could this be acceptable?

"Young Master Wen and Miss Wen have quite the scheme. Young Master Wen, do you think I would consider the rise and fall of your Wen family? If your Wen family falls, I can simply find another family. Or I can do it myself, it's just a bit more troublesome."

"And Miss Wen, I advise you not to covet Jun Jianchou. I won't give up my person to anyone unless he personally admits that he likes you. If you can get him to agree to marry you, that would be great, but I can't afford to lose him."

"And since I dared to come and storm your Wen family all by myself, it means I have the ability to get out unscathed. Young Master Wen, do you think your guards, plus yourself, plus your sister, can stop me?"

Cen Xi was clearly angered by the brother and sister. She had thought the eldest son of the Wen family was a straightforward and reasonable person. But after he arrived, he handled things this way, and she immediately disliked him.

If they don't want to cooperate, then they don't want to cooperate. They'll just pick up their robbery business again at Feifeng Mountain and loot everything whenever the Wen family passes by.

Wen Qi realized that Cen Xi was truly angry, to the point of being ruthless and unapproachable.

So he softened his tone and said:

"Young lady, how about this? We'll give you 30% of the profits from all of the Wen family's businesses. In exchange, you'll give us a sample booklet every month, and you'll also use the name of our Wen family's son-in-law. You're a young lady, so this reputation will last for a year or two. We'll figure out a way to smooth things over. What do you think?"

"A 30% commission in exchange for a monthly sample book and the status of a son-in-law?"

Cen Xi was greedy for money, and after Wen Qi finished explaining these things, her anger subsided by more than half.

"Yes! Miss, I've heard about your situation. A large group of assassins came down from Feifeng Mountain a while ago, causing you a lot of trouble. You always have to disguise yourself when you go out, and you're afraid of your identity being exposed. Our Wen family's son-in-law's identity can provide you with cover. We'll also register with the government later, so anyone who wants to cause you trouble in the future will have to think twice."

"Moreover, our Wen family's business involves all walks of life. As long as you cooperate with us in the future, I guarantee that the young lady's Begonia Manor will be completed within a year. The young lady will never have to worry about money again."
