Chapter 1116: Never Compromise!
Never Compromise! . . .
Recognizing that compelling the Cha Clan to fulfill the initial requirement conflicted with her moral values, she decided to forgo it and proceeded directly to the second.
However, the second was more unacceptable for Cha Eun Nantian!
Qiong-Hua Palace's saintess was not allowed to have a baby. It was known to the world. Nobody knew what would happen to Cha Eun Xiao if he went to Qiong-Hua Palace.
Maybe he would be killed before he reached Qiong-Hua Palace. That was possible.
Cha Eun Nantian, a father who loved his son so much, would never put his son at risk, even if it was only a one ten-thousandth chance. Now, they were talking about putting his son into a situation where he would very likely get killed!
"Masters, you can skip the first requirement as you like, but I can't just forget about the promise the Moon Queen made. She promised that… as long as I reach Dao Origin Stage, I can marry Xue-er and get my family back!"
"Now, please, let me ask you two… what does getting my family back mean?" Cha Eun Nantian also spoke coldly and peacefully. "We are three people in my family. Is it still my family if there are only two of us? I guess nobody calls it getting my family back! Do you mean Qiong-Hua Palace understands family in a different way?
"I don't care how you understand it. I don't think that is a family to me!
"Family means the husband, the wife, and the son together again!
"That is family!
"That is why I have to tell you that I can't do the second requirement either!"
Yue Shuang and Yue Han took a deep breath, exchanging determined glances.
"The second one relates to the promise of Moon Queen too. Fine. Forget it. Let's go to the third," Yue Shuang calmly raised her head and said, "I won't deny what the Moon Queen promised. Cha Clan is making their requests in a reasonable way. However, the result doesn't meet our expectation! Then there is only one thing left in the end.
"It is… the way we finish things in the martial world."
Yue Han continued, "The way in which we will draw an end to this mess is to ignore everything except power itself.
"You Cha Clan can gather any forces as you can to fight against us. As long as you can defeat us, we will leave immediately. We won't say a word. Instead, if you can't defeat us, we decide everything.
"We win, then everything goes as we want!
"The Moon Queen will decide whether to fulfill her promise or not. That is something we should care about when we are back to the palace!
"In here now, we just focus on one thing!
"This is this; that is that.
"This is this; that is that."
Yue Shuang and Yue Han reiterated the same words, loud and clear.
"We won't negotiate with you," Yue Shuang declared, gazing at Cha Nantian with her clear eyes. "Maybe we are on the wrong side, but it is our duty to do what the palace wants us to do. There will be others to deal with different matters."
"What we are responsible for is… fighting," Yue Han's eyes were just as clear.
When people with pure hearts began to act without considering reasons, they could become the most formidable individuals. Such individuals viewed dominance, tyranny, and bullying as natural, just, and righteous actions.
However, Cha Nantian appeared even more resolute than the two ladies. He stated, "Since I saw you, I have never expected that you would be reasonable to me. I merely said the things I wanted to say, and that's all.
"I suppose you have finished saying all that you wanted to say. I am done talking anyway. From now on, let's do whatever is necessary.
"No matter what Qiong-Hua Palace uses to attack us, we will defend.
"I have said what we had to say. Cha Clan will never surrender from now on.
"We will not surrender, even when we have to fight Qiong-Hua Palace."
Cha Nantian's eyes were piercing, and he added, "We won't give up, even if our bodies cover the land and blood stains the floor!"
"That's right!"
A clear voice suddenly rang out, and someone lightly clapped. A young man in white clothing slowly approached. "My dad is right. That was well said. From now on, we Cha Clan people will never retreat in front of anyone!
"We will not submit!"
It was exactly Cha Eun Xiao.
Cha Eun Xiao stepped forward alone.
Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian had been concealed in the yard per Cha Eun Xiao's arrangement. He didn't want them to confront Han and Shuang just yet, despite Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian's evident frustration. Cha Eun Xiao remained resolute in his decision.
If they appeared and clearly aligned themselves with Cha Clan, the situation would become irreversible.
After all, Yue Shuang and Yue Han would not easily back down from a confrontation with Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian, who were also two of the most influential figures in the realm.
Moreover, there was another significant factor - Zhan Yunfei and Zhu Jiutian together could not defeat Yue Shuang and Yue Han.
That was the primary reason.
This was why Cha Eun Xiao preferred that they remained out of sight for now.
After all, the situation had not yet reached a point of no return.
The two women appeared cold and aloof. It was clear that they were guided by their own principles. They understood what was right, but they didn't always aim to be right.
Cha Eun Xiao understood that reasoning with them was not an option, because it simply wasn't possible. He had come to this realization after observing their behavior.
They possessed a strong sense of conscience and understood the concept of doing what was right. However, they had been raised to prioritize their sect's interests. If the actions that benefited their sect contradicted what was morally right, they were willing to abandon reason. After all, in their world, might made right.
In the Qing-Yun Realm, there were few individuals with purer hearts than Yue Shuang and Yue Han.
Not everyone could achieve such purity of heart.
There was a reason why these two women had become paragons of purity.
...
"I am Cha Eun Xiao. Please accept my respects, ladies," Cha Eun Xiao stepped forward.
"Cha Eun Xiao!" Upon hearing the name, Yue Shuang and Yue Han's eyes narrowed, and they scrutinized him from head to toe.
Cha Eun Xiao remained composed and silent as the two women examined him. Then he spoke in a deep voice, "Even though you are here to find a resolution to this matter, it would not be appropriate to block our entrance in public. It would tarnish your esteemed reputation, ladies. We have a training area inside the house. Why don't we adjourn there to discuss how to resolve this situation? What do you think?"
He offered a faint smile and continued, "I trust you won't entertain suspicions that we have set traps inside. After all, you are both eminent figures in the Qing-Yun Realm."
Yue Shuang and Yue Han responded in unison, "You are right. Let's proceed as you suggest."
"Please, follow me, ladies," Cha Eun Xiao gestured and led the way.
