Chapter 39 Your Bet Wife is Not Simple

Yang Xingmi frowned deeply. To be honest, he didn't really want to get involved in the struggles of the martial arts world, but today's scene was truly extraordinary.

“Hundreds of us witnessed Qiu Ziyue playing the jade flute on a dark and windy night, releasing a strange mist that plunged us into an endless illusion, causing us to fight each other, and some of us were even seriously injured.”

The ruthless nun from the Emei Sect added, her eyes still lingering with fear and confusion from the previous night.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xingmi, the military governor of Huainan, pondered for a moment, then said solemnly, "This matter is of great importance, concerning the reputation of the martial arts world. I cannot stand idly by, neither morally nor logically. Every accusation requires solid evidence. Do any of you have physical evidence or more witnesses?"

The leaders of the five major sects and gangs said, "Please have the witnesses come forward."

Then, a seriously injured martial arts practitioner was carefully carried up. His face was filled with pain and determination, and his eyes burned with a flame of unwillingness.

His limbs were carefully bandaged, and the obvious wounds spoke of the ferocity of a fierce battle.

The injured martial arts practitioner was a passing wanderer, but now he lay on a stretcher, unable to move.

The crowd gathered around, and the mansion was filled with tension and curiosity.

The young man spoke with difficulty, his voice weak but clear and strong: "It was me, I saw it with my own eyes... Qiu Ziyue, she..." He coughed violently as if every word had exhausted his strength.

The officer beside him quickly handed him a bowl of warm water and gently comforted him, "Take your time, young hero, there's no rush."

After resting for a while, the young man continued, "That night, it was dark and windy. I happened to be passing by when Qiu Ziyue started playing her flute. My mind was thrown into disarray, and I instantly drew my sword and started fighting with the people on the street. My mind was out of control."

The expressions of the surrounding listeners turned solemn; such accusations were undoubtedly a bombshell dropped into the martial arts world.

The knight-errant's testimony was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples.

"But why would she kill innocent people indiscriminately?" someone asked, clearly finding the sudden accusation hard to believe.

The wandering swordsman smiled bitterly, his eyes full of helplessness: "This is precisely what I can't understand. The bloodshed that night, and what happened to my companions, are undeniable facts."

This statement weighed heavily on everyone's hearts like a stone tablet, making the atmosphere in the mansion extremely oppressive.

At this moment, Feng Yunniang stepped forward and whispered, "We are gathering more evidence, and several parents have also claimed that their children's disappearances are related to Qiu Ziyue's whereabouts, but..."

"But what?" Yang Xingmi pressed.

"They just dare not speak out or publicly accuse Qiu Ziyue because of her reputation and power."

Fengyun Niang answered cautiously.

After several encounters, Feng Yunniang hated Qiu Ziyue to the core, and she was determined not to let this opportunity slip by.

"What's more, there's a poem circulating in the martial arts world. I wonder if you and the four young masters have heard of it?"

Lei Xinzhen said.

"What rumors? Tell me about them," Yang Xingmi asked.

"Reporting to you, sir, rumors are circulating in the martial arts world that Qiu Ziyue is a womanizer by nature. Not only does she have ambiguous relationships with her three senior brothers, but she also goes around searching for handsome men. There is a saying among the people: 'Laughing at the storms of the martial arts world, peach blossoms follow the water reflecting her chivalrous name. Where can Qiu Ziyue's shadow be found? She leaves her mark everywhere she travels,'" Huo Lengxiong said confidently.

Lei Xinzhen chimed in, "Truly, appearances can be deceiving, and the sea cannot be measured by a bushel; this is truly a great joke in the martial arts world."

At this point, Abbot Shangzhi uttered a Buddhist chant, for monks cannot tolerate such frivolous talk.

“There is evidence regarding this poem. A few days ago, Qiu Ziyue participated in a zither competition. In front of everyone, she shamelessly made a bet with Lord Yang, using Master Qi as the stake. That is the biggest evidence,” Feng Yunniang said.

Upon hearing this, Yin Lihen chuckled and said with a strange face, "What kind of ridiculous poem is this? I've been living a carefree and romantic life for so many years, and no one has ever left me such an interesting poem. That little girl is quite famous, isn't she? Why didn't she take a liking to me? Am I not handsome enough? That's ridiculous."

Then, Yin Lihen looked at Qi Yuxuan and said, "Brother Yuxuan, it seems that the young lady you made the bet with is not simple."

Qi Yuxuan's cheeks flushed slightly. He glared at Yin Lihen and said angrily, "Lihen, do you still want to embarrass me like this?"

Qi Yuxuan seems to have heard of a poem these past few days, which is being circulated wildly in the streets and alleys.

A rather old-fashioned and traditional man like him couldn't help but blush when he heard the specific lines of poetry.

The others present, upon hearing this, also found it amusing and chuckled softly with their heads down.

After hearing Feng Yunniang mention the bet, everyone assumed that Qi Yuxuan was the man Qiu Ziyue had taken a liking to and snatched away.

At this moment, Qi Yuxuan felt awkward, unsure whether to sit, stand, or leave.

Seeing Qi Yuxuan's embarrassment, Yin Lihen coughed and said, "Everyone, let's stick to the facts and watch our words and actions. Don't jump to conclusions when there is insufficient evidence."

Upon hearing this, Feng Yunniang realized that her words had indeed insulted Young Master Qi's reputation, and immediately shut her mouth.

After a short rest, the atmosphere became tense for a moment.

Qi Yuxuan exchanged a glance with the three handsome men. Although they did not entirely believe the accusations, they knew that things in the martial arts world were often a mix of truth and falsehood, and it was difficult to distinguish them at a time.

Qi Yuxuan frowned, his face serious and cold. He said, "Gentlemen, there is much speculation about Qiu Ziyue's matter. If we judge her based solely on rumors, it would be a disgrace to the martial arts world."

Qi Yuxuan paused and then said, "The bet between me, Qi, and Qiu Ziyue has not yet been settled. Please do not speak recklessly or insult the reputation of Jueqing Valley and me, Qi. If I hear any outsiders defaming my reputation again, I will not let it go."

After Qi Yuxuan finished speaking, no one dared to say anything more.

Upon hearing this, Twilight City also said, "I agree with what Brother Qi said. Miss Qiu Ziyue is highly skilled in martial arts, but she has never abused her abilities. Her talent and character are evident to all in the competitions of playing the zither and dancing. We should rely on facts, rather than blindly following others."

Yin Lihen lightly shook his iron fan, a hint of indignation in his voice: "If you hadn't ambushed Miss Qiu at night, that little girl probably wouldn't have used such a powerful move. You are all seniors in the martial arts world, why do you have to punish a little girl?"

Yin Lihen paused here, then continued, "Moreover, in this world, truth and falsehood are intertwined, and we cannot rely solely on your side of the story. If even we are unwilling to listen to her voice, who can give her justice?"

Chu Yujue's words were firm and resolute, carrying an undeniable force: "I am not talented, but I am willing to join my three elder brothers in fighting for a chance to clear Miss Qiu's name. Even if our strength is meager, we should not stand idly by."

After they finished speaking, the four handsome men exchanged glances, their hearts in perfect harmony.

"How about this: our dance competition with overtime will proceed as scheduled. After the competition, I and the judges will hold a fair hearing, inviting all relevant martial arts figures, including Miss Qiu Ziyue herself, to attend and clarify everything face to face. What do you think?"

Yang Xingmi said.
