Chapter 13: Do unto others as they have done unto you
Zhang Xian has been depressed ever since he didn't kill Qin Wushuang last time until today.
Adding to that, several months ago, there was a frame-up, and strangely, paranormal phenomena appeared, and those stolen goods actually ran into Xu Shao's cabinet. This made them feel embarrassed for several months. They were really puzzled as to why the stolen goods would appear in Xu Shao's place.
There have been many speculations, but no one suspected Qin Wushuang. Instead, they tacitly reached a consensus and directed their suspicions at the person in Tianzi Yihao dormitory...
Although Qin Wushuang made many verbal insinuations and hints at the time, saying that his body was not straight, his shadow was crooked on the wall, and he said something about a golden house hiding a beauty.
But Xu Ting didn't think Qin Wushuang was capable of doing this, in the boys' dormitory area of the Wu Tong Institute, probably only Tian Zi Yi Hao could do it...
But what reason does he have to help Qin Wushuang when they've never had a good relationship?
This problem has been tormenting Xu Ting, and even the entire Xu family.
Zhang Xian, as Xu Ting's trusted general, had been thinking of a way to help Xu Ting get revenge. Now that he finally had the perfect opportunity, how could he let it slip away?
Last time Qin Wushuang died and came back to life, it was very embarrassing for him. In the Martial Arts Academy, he was ridiculed by his peers; in his family, he was scolded by his elders.
And in the case of framing others, he was also one of the main culprits. Afterwards, he was also severely scolded by his parents several times.
All of this is because of this young master Qin in front of me, who clearly died but somehow came back to life. He must have been holding his breath for more than just one or two days.
Qin Wushuang took the initiative to settle old scores, which was what he had been waiting for. Last time they fought, he knew his original strength had a great advantage, and in recent months, he learned a powerful attacking martial skill, so dealing with Qin Wushuang would definitely be a matter of minutes.
This time, I must make a fatal blow, let him want to live but can't survive! Zhang Xian thought viciously.
"Xu Shao, would you please come and be our witness?"
Zhang Xian said with a good intention to Xu Ting, who was sitting next to him with a gloomy face. After the last incident, Xu Ting's whole person became much colder, and his eyes were also much chillier than before.
Having learned from the previous lesson, Xu Ting was even more cautious this time. After a moment of contemplation, he put on an air of impartiality: "Hmmm, you want to have a one-on-one duel to settle past grudges? That's not impossible. I'll be the arbitrator!"
Qin Wushuang saw them acting so realistically, and didn't mind, instead he glanced at Xu Ting with a smirk, saying: "Xu Shao, having your own lackey as an arbitrator, is this kind of thing amusing?"
Xu Ting's face changed slightly, staring at Qin Wushuang. He was somewhat puzzled that the usual timid Qin family youngster who would see him as a cat sees a mouse, reappeared in the Wu Tong Institute, seemingly with an inflated temper.
They endured these few months because of the pressure exerted by the higher-ups in the academy. They were told to wait for a while before making any trouble, not to continue causing a scene when they were already in the spotlight. Otherwise, if Qin Lianshan continued to cause trouble at the government office, it would be difficult for the officials to do their job. On the other hand, it was also due to fear of some unknown factors...
Now that several months have passed and the situation has gradually calmed down, taking advantage of this opportunity, what is being considered is to cut off the roots of the Qin family and seize the industry of the Qin family!
"Beat Zhang Xian!"
"Beat him to death!"
The hot-blooded young men mostly fawn on Zhang Xian and his gang.
Looking at these inexplicable martial arts practitioners, each and every one of them still retains the naivety of youth, yet they have already developed such terrible character, debasing themselves to this extent, it seems that this world is indeed capable of shaping people.
Looking at Qin Wushuang's side, Hu Ziyin was biting her lip tightly, her hands clenched together, obviously suppressing her nervous emotions; Fang Xiaozhong was standing behind Hu Ziyin, his face pale, his eyes panicked, and he looked terrified.
Obviously, they didn't have much confidence in this battle either, after all, the situation of the last battle was still vivid.
Zhang looked pleased with himself, striding confidently into the arena. Secretly harboring a killer intent, he had no intention of engaging in a prolonged battle, and with a mindset of "one hit must kill", he planned to take down Qin Wushuang instantly.
How could he deceive Qin Wushuang with this thought?
Qin Wushuang swept his eyes across him and saw through his murderous intentions. In his heart, he secretly smiled, thinking that their thoughts coincided without prior discussion.
Xu Ting also couldn't wait for Zhang Xian to get rid of Qin Wushuang quickly, and shouted loudly: "Fair duel, life and death are up to heaven's will! Begin!"
The two men worked in perfect harmony, and at Xu Ting's command, Zhang Xian's footsteps sprang into action, transforming his palms into knives as he unleashed a fierce and powerful momentum that propelled him forward with all his might towards Qin Wushuang.
"Behold, I shall split the stone with a single slash!"
Zhang Xian let out a loud laugh, and the momentum of his palm knife stirred up, bringing the surrounding bamboo leaves with it, rolling them together.
In an instant, he arrived within three meters of Qin Wushuang. His target was clear, and he hacked at Qin Wushuang's neck.
This palm knife has been practiced to this level and can be compared with ordinary sword blades. Plus, Zhang Xian's moving speed is extremely fast.
Speed and strength combined, condensed into a suffocating aura, even the onlookers were intimidated by this aura, retreating in succession.
The aura enveloped, and all retreats of Qin Wusuo had been surrounded.
One move and it seems the outcome is already decided. This momentum gives people a kind of intuitive feeling: looking at this momentum, Qin Wushuang still can't escape the fate's verdict...
Almost all the martial arts students thought so, they had been looking forward to seeing the bloody scene of palm knife falling, blood splashing everywhere, best with a head flying off with one move, that would be the most thrilling.
No wonder everyone thinks so, Qin Wushuang's all retreats are sealed off, and there is no way to escape!
But nobody has considered one question.
Is it necessary for Qin Wushuang to hide?
The next moment, Qin Wushuang's single palm slightly lifted, and his body suddenly rushed forward like a flash of lightning, directly printing towards Zhang Xian's palm knife!
Bang!
Borrowing strength to strike, Zhang Xian only felt that he had crashed into a hillside, and his entire body's strength suddenly turned around, being repelled by a rebound force flying out, the whole person involuntarily thrown into mid-air.
Qin Wushuang's body was as swift as a ghost, his arm raised, and the rope that had been removed from Hu Zhiyan's body flew out, entwining like a poisonous snake, and in an instant it wrapped around Zhang Xian's neck.
Tie him up like a dead dog, so that Zhang Xian is tightly bound.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Wushuang's body rose into the air, his fists moving like the wind, striking Zhang Xian's head a dozen times in succession.
Zhang Xian's body flew out like a kite, swaying and dangling from the bamboo pole where Hu Ziyin had previously hung, his body suspended in mid-air, his head tilted to one side, long since dead.
Almost at the same location, almost the same spot. Zhang Xian's head was smashed, and a big hole was knocked out, with blood gushing out.
"Ah..."
This sudden and dramatic turn of events was completely unexpected by everyone.
Many people didn't even see how the situation had changed, and what was presented before their eyes was Zhang Xian's corpse that couldn't be any deader.
"He's dead! Zhang Xian is dead!" The terrified cry rang out.
"Treat others as they treat you." A sigh of karma's retribution.
"This Qin Wusuo, how did his strength progress so quickly?" This was an inexplicable question.
"No wonder, no wonder, I've been watching him practice hard every day for half a year, and it turns out he had a vendetta all along."
The onlookers, a group of martial arts practitioners, were shocked by the bloody scene before them. They couldn't help but glance at Qin Wushuang, whose face was stern and murderous, causing their hair to stand on end. They all tried to recall if they had ever offended Qin Wushuang in the past. Those who thought more quickly were already considering how to mend their relationship with him.
"Being eager to die like this, how stupid and weak-minded must one be to achieve this?"
Qin Wushuang spoke as if no one was around, casually throwing out a sentence, glancing at Xu Ting who had lost all color in his face from being too shocked, and then shaking his sleeves and walking away, ignoring the group of martial arts students who were in a daze.
Hu Ziyuan and Fang Xiaozhong were also stunned by Qin Wushuang's skill, as if in a dream, they stood there for half a day before hastily following behind Qin Wushuang, running quickly.
Zhang Xian is dead! The shock in their hearts was absolutely ten times more intense than when Qin Wushuang was beaten to death.
The scene before his eyes left Xu Ting stunned for a long time, and it was only after a while that he reacted. He hastily shouted: "Quickly go report to the principal, report to the Luo Jiang Prefecture government office, Donglin Town's Qin Wushuang, in a private fight killed the young master of the Zhang family!"
A fair duel, or an arbitration presided over by him, turned into a private fight at the turn of his mouth.
The onlookers from the Wudong clan scattered in all directions like birds and beasts, they had a premonition that Zhang Xian's death would bring about a great earthquake to the Wudong Institute.
As one of the eight major families in Luojiang County, the Zhang family itself has a significant amount of power. Moreover, their relationship with the wealthy Xu family is extremely close, almost like they are wearing the same pair of pants.
The Haomen Xushi family is one of the four major families in Lujiang County.
Qin Wushuang returned to the dormitory without stopping. Hu Zhiyan and Fang Xiaozhong were both excited and terrified, carefully following behind Qin Wushuang.
"Peerless brother, hurry up and escape! Escape back to Donglin Town." Fang Xiaozhong suggested.
"We can't escape, this is a fair duel, everyone has witnessed it. If we escape, we will be framed for private fighting, that's troublesome!" Hu Zhiyan was slightly calmer than Xiao Zhong.
Qin Wushuang felt even more affectionate towards these two fellow townspeople from Donglin Town, and said to them: "You'd better keep a distance from me for now, lest you get entangled in trouble."
Hu Zei Yan shook his head firmly: "However you say it, you're also doing this to save me. Now we're on the same boat. I won't leave."
After some hesitation, Fang Xiaozhong finally gritted his teeth and said: "We are all fellow villagers and friends, let's face the difficulties together!"
Qin Wushuang knew that persuading them not to leave was futile, so he smiled slightly: "Then just stay here. I reckon Jin Yiyi should be making an appearance soon too."
"Director isn't in today, is he?"
"When he wants it, it's naturally there." Jinuye didn't make that move easily, Qin Wushuang was very clear about that.
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, in no time at all, the college's high-ranking officials rushed over, bringing the college's armed forces with them. With a fierce and menacing attitude, they surrounded Qin Wushuang's dormitory.
This lineup is even more grand than catching a fugitive by three points.
Hu Ziyin and Fang Xiaozhong saw this momentum, both with pale faces, did not know how to respond.
Qin Wushuang said in a low voice: "You stay in the dormitory and don't go out, I'll go and reason with them."
After finishing, he pulled open the dormitory door and walked out of the door with ease. He glanced coldly at Jin Buyi, who was in charge, and said calmly: "Director, aren't you just not here? Where did this come from?"
Jin's face turned iron-green as he shouted, "Qin Wushuang, I warned you last time not to cause any more trouble. You still took my words for nothing and provoked your fellow students, started a private fight, and even killed people randomly. These crimes added up together, even if you were to sacrifice your own life, it wouldn't be enough to make up for them!"
Qin Wushuang sneered inwardly, but his tone was slow and deliberate: "Private fight? Director, you can't be treating the martial children of the Martial Infant Academy as blind people, can you? This is a fair duel, witnessed by everyone's own eyes, with Xu Ting as the arbitrator. Director, you're distorting the facts - how much benefit did you receive from the Zhang family?"
"How dare you! At this time, you still want to quibble. You said someone witnessed it with their own eyes, but can you find any witnesses?"
Qin Wushuang looked up at the sky and laughed loudly: "There are nearly a thousand disciples of the Martial Infant Academy who have witnessed this scene, just ask any one of them and you'll know the truth."
"Alright, you few come over here, the principal wants to ask you, how did Zhang Xian really die?"
Several onlookers claimed they were standing too far away and didn't see anything, or that they arrived late, each one pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Qin Wushuang watched as Jin Buyi led a few martial arts children to perform a play, but only coldly smiled and didn't rush to explain.
