I was taken aback by his excuse; I hadn't expected the Jin family to avoid war.
Although it's a bit embarrassing, it's also a good solution. Since the situation can't be brought to a standstill, there's no conflict.
I took a deep breath. Since they've already backed down, I shouldn't push them too hard.
After all, if a conflict were to break out, I wouldn't be at a disadvantage with my current alias. This time, I was in the right.
However, if the incident cannot be brought to light on the spot, then there is no way to pursue the matter further.
I clasped my hands in a respectful greeting to the Jin family head and said, "Since Sister Shiting isn't home, I won't disturb your auspicious time any longer."
I must take my leave now, as I have other matters to attend to. I wish the Jin family head a joyous wedding night, a harmonious and loving marriage, like two mandarin ducks singing sweetly together.
The Jin family head feigned an attempt to persuade me to stay, but I insisted on leaving. The matter should have ended there.
Regardless of the outcome, the Jin family prevailed in this battle of wits, but some people were simply courting death.
Suddenly, a Grandmaster of the Fourth Realm from the military spoke up: "Heh, these young people nowadays really have no manners at all, no respect for elders."
"All these elders are here. They come in making a scene, trying to cause trouble, and then they just pack up and leave."
After saying that, he gave my master a disdainful look. I was already angry, and what he said made me explode.
I quietly called out, "Old Huang," and Old Huang immediately put down his wine glass.
He came running over excitedly, muttering as he went, "Here he comes, Old Huang is here!"
I poured myself another glass of wine, raised it to the Jin family head to show him, and then immediately told Old Huang to get started.
Old Huang, unhurriedly, finished his drink before putting down the sword case and preparing to fight.
The atmosphere had become incredibly tense by this point, even though he remained calm and unhurried.
But I've already called for action, and the other party, considering their status, can't make the first move. Now I'm in an extremely awkward situation.
Even with a sword hanging over your head that hasn't been cut down, you can't dodge it, because in the martial world, face is everything.
Old Huang is incredibly cunning; he sees the situation perfectly clearly, so he's not worried at all.
They've been taking it slow and deliberate, step by step. Almost five minutes have passed since I yelled "Let's get started!"
He was still warming up, twisting and turning here and there, and I felt a little embarrassed.
I forced myself to suppress my embarrassment and glanced back at Lao Huang. Lao Huang seemed to have just noticed my look.
He immediately bowed and scraped, saying, "Alright, alright," but suddenly his demeanor changed.
He opened the sword box and unleashed three swords simultaneously. The sudden change in momentum, with the sword energy described as "three pounds heavy," startled everyone.
No one expected that this sleazy guy could suddenly become an unparalleled swordsman.
The sudden attack of sword energy caught everyone off guard.
All three swords were forged in the same furnace as the divine sword Yama, making a total of four swords: "Heavenly Light," "Flowing Light," "Divine Light," and "Time."
Time was taken away by the Evil Emperor, and the other three swords were put into Old Huang's sword box to be nurtured.
Moreover, even the Yamato Sword is currently in its sheath, but its properties make it unsuitable for use as a flying sword.
Three spirit swords were pointed directly at the forehead of the military leader, who was already sweating profusely. If it weren't for Old Huang's mercy, he would already be dead.
He dared not make any further moves now, so I first placed three more wine glasses and filled them all.
Then, turning to the Jin family head, he said, "I'm sorry, Family Head Jin. It was my fault today. I've spoiled your joyous occasion. I'll punish myself with three cups of wine."
After saying that, he downed three glasses in a row, then turned to the military bigwig and said, "We should be one family, but some people are siding with outsiders, eating the family's food while having to do other people's work."
After saying something ambiguous, I clasped my hands in a fist salute and led my men out.
After I left, most of the grandmasters also withdrew, which was originally to prevent us from causing trouble.
Now that everything's alright, I just left.
