244 Strange Duel 4

Qin Feng chuckled, and kept his hands up as he spoke. While Xu Yanzhi had a very lovely, innocent appearance, he could not forget how she had called him names back when they were still in the forests around Changqing City. So he wasn't about to let his guard down with her.

"This? This particular style is called 'Her Pillow Soaked With Tears'. I think I don't need to tell you that it is part of the 'new' stances of the White Jade Hands that I had mentioned earlier? You can tell from the similarities, can't you?"

Xu Yanzhi had a somewhat frustrated expression on her face, no doubt from the fact that she had completely lost the previous exchange. And despite her overwhelming superiority in their clashes before that, she was clearly displeased.

So Qin Feng was not surprised to see her stamp her feet like a little girl, and pout at him. He had seen her do something similar before. Her right arm shot up immediately, and she pointed an accusing finger in his direction. As though she was scolding a childhood playmate!

"That is not fair! You are bullying me! You said that you would use the White Jade Beauty Hands! You are cheating! Big Brother Qin Feng is a big bully!

Qin Feng almost fell down, the moment that he heard that. What was going on? Since when had he become her big brother? And where was the beautiful, composed martial expert that he had been fighting earlier? What had happened to her decorum?

"I said that I would use the White Jade Hands, and I have, haven't I? You knew all along that I knew more stances than you do. Why are you crying like a spoiled little girl now?" he cried back, unhappy at being called a bully.

He had never been a bully! He may have cheated and conned, but he had never bullied a younger person! Especially not a girl! This was intolerable!

"I don't care! You used stances from the White Jade Beauty Hands that I have never learned. So how can it be fair?"

"You were the one who wanted to experience the stances that didn't originate in your Snow Swallow Mountain Palace in the first place! That was why you challenged, wasn't it? Why are you going back on your word now?

"And I certainly did not bully you! Your cultivation is clearly higher than mine so how can you say that I was bullying you? Where are you now? The Discerning Realm, right? I am only in the Completion Realm so I am clearly of a lower cultivation than you are! I should be the one crying that you are bullying me!"

"Bah! You are just quibbling! I don't care! I'm going to tell on you when I get back! We'll see how Elder Sister Qinghua deals with you then!"

Qin Feng was at a total loss. His face was hotter than he could remember, so much so that he was certain that there was steam coming out of his ears! What was she talking about? This was embarrassing! The way that she said it was enough to give everyone the wrong impression! It was as though he was lovers with that Elder Sister Qinghua of hers! And he had only met with that girl just that once!

And what was all that nonsense about him bullying her? With her more exceptional skills, how was that even possible? What was she up to?

But he found that he couldn't find a single thing to say, when he pointed his finger at her and opened his mouth. Then he closed it, and opened it again. There were simply no words!

"Enough! Yanzhi! Come back here! If you cannot continue, then you have lost. There is no point in airing your dirty laundry* in the open like this!"

Qin Feng's eyes shot to the Elder from the Snow Swallow Palace, not quite believing what he had just heard. 'Dirty laundry'? Did she really use that term to describe what was going on between Xu Yanzhi and himself? Or between him and Xu Qinghua? Wasn't that like throwing him into a pit of tar? Since when did the two of them have any 'dirty laundry' between them?

But even as he looked around the older woman, around the Snow Swallow Mountain Palace Elder, it was clear that all eyes from the opposing side of the Arena were fixed on him. All of the men, including all the leaders from the other three Sects and Schools, were staring at him with a look that promised dismemberment and decapitation. And worse! Their apparently bitter quarrel in the middle of the Arena stage just now was enough to fix it in these men's minds that he had been unscrupulously taking advantage of the young, beautiful and innocent Xu Yanzhi!

So was it any wonder that everyone was now after him, eager to rip his flesh from his bones with their teeth, and drink his blood vessels dry?

Turning back to the one responsible for his fix, he caught sight of the young woman making her way back to her Elder with a dejected profile, as though she had just been bullied, and in an indecent manner at that. Xu Yanzhi even had tears welling up in her eyes!

A noise entered into his ears then, just as he spotted that. And so interrupted him from yelling at her again, to warn her against acting as though she was a bullied daughter-in-law! Since the sound had come from his side, Du Yan's side, of the Arena, he thought that something must have happened there.

But all that met his eyes were the hostile stares from the waiters and the grooms from Du Chenyong's tavern, as though they were as eager to rip him apart as the other side was! What was going on with those idiots? Couldn't they see that he had just been played? And they were supposed to be on his side, weren't they?

That was when he realized that Lin Liushui and Li Changhai were both shaking their heads at him, while Du Yan had his face in his hands, laughing so hard that his tears were dripping through the gaps in his fingers!

Clearly, he was not going to be getting any help from his so-called Brothers! And even Du Chenyong himself, looked a little annoyed with him!

Qin Feng felt as though his head was going to explode! What was going on? This was only a fight, wasn't it? To secure Du Yan's girl for him. That was all!

How had it ended up like this?!
