Chapter 254: 2 offsets
Leng Zhuxin stood on the stage holding the magic knife, his face extremely cold.
Because she defeated Fang Qian, the demon cultivators in the audience who knew they could not defeat Fang Qian did not go on stage again.
Only those cultivators with cultivation levels above the middle stage of Demon Pill were still eager to make a move.
But they were all nobles who were well-known in the demon world, and they felt that it was a bit ungraceful for them to attack Leng Zhuxin, who was in the early stage of the demon pill realm, just for a high-level demon sword.
Leng Zhuxin is the protagonist of today's family recognition banquet. If they lose to Leng Zhuxin, they will be embarrassed. If Leng Zhuxin loses to them, it will inevitably make the Mo family feel uncomfortable and make the Mo family look bad.
So no one was willing to go on the stage again.
Qin Gu also stood up at this time, waving his fan and smiling at Leng Zhuxin on the stage, "Sister Qingyun is indeed amazing. Since everyone is unwilling to go on stage, the prize for today will go to Sister Qingyun."
Qin Gu's face was full of confidence that came from nowhere. He held his head high and smiled at Leng Zhuxin with a look of self-pampering in his eyes, trying to show in front of everyone that he and Leng Zhuxin had a good relationship.
Leng Zhuxin would not let her have her way. She glanced at her coldly, as if she was looking at something dirty.
Her tone was also cold, "Master Qin, please don't yell at me. I'm not from your Qin family, and you're not from my Mo family. Calling me sister really makes me unhappy.
I don’t know if I’m better than others, but I should be better than Young Master Qin.
I saved Young Master Qin's life, but it was also Young Master Qin who recognized me as Miss Mo first, so let's offset the two.
I hope Master Qin will not pester me again in the future by claiming he saved my life, and will not show me this expression again."
Leng Zhuxin had no good feelings towards Qin Gu. Although she knew that Qin Gu might have some relationship with the Holy Lord, she did not want to put herself in a difficult position by flattering someone like Qin Gu, so she simply said it directly.
It would save Qin Gu from appearing in front of him all day and dirtying his eyes.
Under the ring, Qin Gu could no longer maintain the smile on his face after Leng Zhuxin said these words.
Fang Qian, who was sitting not far from her, laughed out loud without any concealment, and looked at Qin Gu with eyes full of ridicule.
After Fang Qian laughed, Qin Gu's entire face turned red with shame and anger.
He swung the fan in his hand, which was still waving, and snorted heavily to save face, "I didn't expect Miss Mo to be so heartless. I thought that you and I were friends after going through life and death.
I didn't expect that I was marrying above my station, Miss Mo. Is this how you, the Mo family, treat guests?
Although our Qin family is not as good as the Mo family, we are not bullied like this.
Is Miss Mo trying to destroy the relationship between the Qin and Mo families?
I am also a good friend of your brother. Have you ever thought about your brother when you act like this?"
Qin Gu still felt that he and Mo Qingshan were good friends, and Leng Zhuxin's actions would definitely make Mo Qingshan unhappy.
And Mo Qingshan would certainly try to smooth things over and talk to him after he said these words.
Unexpectedly, Mo Qingshan didn't even stand up, but sat upright on the chair and said, "You really shouldn't have the idea of marrying up to my sister. I have some friendship with you, but that has nothing to do with my sister.
How we, the Mo family, treat our guests is not decided by you alone.
I think what my sister said is right. If you feel that you and my sister cannot be reconciled, my Mo family can prepare a generous gift and come to your house to express our gratitude.
But if you have any other thoughts, you'd better put them aside, so as not to affect the relationship between you, me and our two families.
My sister has no friendship with you. The so-called life-and-death experience was just to save your life. I can't say that I was ruthless to you in any way.
Do you agree? "
Mo Qingshan looked at Qin Gu with a cold face. As the next head of the Mo family, it was impossible for him to have no power of his own, and it was even more impossible for him to believe everything Qin Gu said.
He didn't check where the so-called life-saving grace came from, but that didn't mean he couldn't guess.
It was just because Leng Zhuxin was indeed brought back to the Demon King's City by Qin Gu that he didn't make a big fuss about it.
Qin Gu felt panicked when Mo Qingshan looked at him. He knew better than anyone where the robbers came from, and he also knew that Mo Qingshan was not so easy to fool, so he had to give up his face.
"I was a little careless with my words, thinking that my friendship with you was good enough for me to call Miss Mo my sister.
However, the kindness that Miss Mo showed me in saving my life cannot be offset by the other two.
I just happened to recognize that Miss Mo looks like you. Even without me, Miss Mo would still come to the Demon King's City.
I am grateful for saving your life, but I have upset Miss Mo today. I will come back another day to thank you in person."
Qin Gu still didn't give up and wanted to contact Leng Zhuxin. At the same time, he turned his head to look at Mo Qingmin who was sitting next to him.
He looked at the other people present, suppressed his thoughts, and left the table early.
He guessed that Leng Zhuxin didn't know that Mo Qingmin had done something during the recognition process, which was why she was so bold to say those words that hurt his face.
If Leng Zhuxin knew that she was not a true descendant of the Mo family, and only had this fake identity with his help, she would certainly obey his orders in order to maintain her position as the eldest daughter of the Mo family.
Thinking of this, Qin Gu decided to send a message to Mo Qingmin immediately after returning today, and let Mo Qingmin reveal this matter to Leng Zhuxin.
Then help him to ask Leng Zhuxin out to make things happen.
Judging from Mo Qingshan's attitude towards Leng Zhuxin today, as long as he and Leng Zhuxin can achieve good things, the Mo family will definitely support the Qin family in the future.
……
After Qin Gu left, Leng Zhuxin also glanced in the direction of Mo Qingmin.
When Mo Qingmin met her gaze, he immediately lowered his head.
Seeing Mo Qingmin lower her head, Leng Zhuxin turned his gaze away and said to the crowd below the stage, "Although I defeated Sister Fang, the prize shouldn't fall into my hands so easily.
I know you're embarrassed to compete with me, so let's start over."
After saying that, Leng Zhu jumped off the stage, put the magic knife back into the space, and sat back next to Mo Qingshan.
Mo Qingshan didn't expect Leng Zhuxin to make such a decision, which not only saved the Mo family's face, but also eased the atmosphere of the family recognition banquet.
Leng Zhuxin's withdrawal also made many people feel that she was generous, polite, and knew when to advance and retreat.
Soon someone else stepped onto the stage again.
Fang Qian moved the chair to the front of the arena to watch Leng Zhuxin compete with his fellow players. Now that he couldn't see him anymore, he moved his chair back to its original place.
This time, no one proposed to compete with Leng Zhuxin like Fang Qian did, and the winner was quickly decided.
It was Gu Fei, the eldest son of the Gu family, who had the same status as the Mo family. After getting the magic sword, Gu Fei came to Leng Zhuxin with the magic sword, which was beyond everyone's expectation.
"I think you're better suited to using a sword."
Gu Fei lifted up the magic sword and placed it flat in front of Leng Zhuxin. Gu Fei's tall body blocked a lot of the rarely seen sunlight.
Leng Zhuxin was eating melon seeds out of boredom when he suddenly saw a magic sword. He blinked blankly and swallowed the melon seeds.
The end of his eyebrow raised slightly, "Why?"
What she asked was why Gu Fei thought she was more suitable for using a sword.
Seeing that Leng Zhuxin didn't accept it and didn't put down the magic sword, Gu Fei said, "I watched the competition between you and Fang Qian. Although you used a knife, you were able to integrate Fang Qian's swordsmanship into yours. It can be seen that between the two ways of swordsmanship, you are more talented in the way of swordsmanship.
Using a knife will bury your talent.
Although this sword comes from your Mo family, I won it, so it is mine.
I want to exchange this magic sword for the magic knife you just used.
I am good with knives and I like knives.
This sword is useless to me, but it is more suitable for you."
