The Untamed: Wei Wuxian Reborn as a Child

Chapter 71 Asking for Apology

Jin Zixun returned to the Lanling Jin Clan in a state of disgrace, his bruised face and nose truly frightening. As soon as he entered the mansion, he was spotted by Madam Jin.

Mrs. Jin's eyes widened, and she asked in shock, "Zixun, what happened to you? Who beat you like this?"

Jin Zixun's face was filled with resentment, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Aunt, it's Wei Wuxian! How dare Wei Wuxian treat me so harshly?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Jin flew into a rage, "Wei Wuxian? Why did he hit you?"

Jin Zixun exaggerated his story, "I just ran into him while out hunting at night. We exchanged a few casual words, and he suddenly flew into a rage and attacked me. He clearly doesn't take our Lanling Jin Clan seriously."

Mrs. Jin was furious. "How can this be! Let's go find your uncle and ask for an explanation from the Wei family."

The two hurried to Jin Guangshan's place, and Mrs. Jin said angrily, "Look at what Zixun has been beaten up by Wei Wuxian. This Wei Wuxian is too arrogant. We must go to the Wei family and ask for an explanation."

Jin Guangshan frowned, looking at Jin Zixun's miserable condition, and asked: "Zixun, what happened? Tell me in detail."

Jin Zixun repeated what he had said to Madam Jin, exaggerating further: "Uncle, that Wei Wuxian, relying on his own abilities, is arrogant and doesn't take our Jin family seriously at all. If we don't teach him a lesson today, how will our Jin family survive among the hundreds of immortal families in the future?"

Jin Guangshan pondered for a moment and said, "We can't be reckless about this matter. The Wei family now has a certain prestige among the immortals. If we go there rashly, we might cause unnecessary trouble."

Mrs. Jin was relentless, "Prestige? He beat up someone from our Jin family, so he must give an explanation. Do we, the Jin family, still fear him?"

Jin Guangshan said helplessly, "Madam, please don't get excited yet. We need to take a long-term view."

Mrs. Jin said angrily, "Why are we still considering this long-term? Let's go to the Wei family now and ask them for an explanation."

Jin Guangshan advised, "Madam, calm down. Wei Wuxian still has the Lan Clan behind him. If we completely fall out with Wei Wuxian, we won't be able to explain ourselves to the Lan Clan either."

Jin Zixun quickly said, "Uncle, what are you afraid of? Do we, the Jin family, have any fear of the Wei family? The Wei family has only gained some fame thanks to Wei Changze."

Jin Guangshan glared at him. "What do you know? The relationships between the hundreds of immortal sects are intricate and complex. We can't make enemies easily."

Mrs. Jin snorted, "Then what do you say we should do? Are we just going to let it go?"

Jin Guangshan thought for a moment and said, "First send someone to find out why Wei Wuxian beat Zixun, and then make a decision."

Jin Zixun said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you still trying to find out? Why not just go to the Wei family and ask them directly?"

Jin Guangshan said sternly, "Shut up! I know how to handle this matter."

Soon, the people sent to investigate returned.

"Master, Madam. According to inquiries, it was Young Master Jin Zixun who first provoked Wei Wuxian, using disrespectful language, which is why Wei Wuxian resorted to violence."

Upon hearing this, Madam Jin's expression turned even uglier. "Even if Zixun's words were disrespectful, Wei Wuxian couldn't have beaten him like this."

Jin Guangshan frowned and said, "Zixun was indeed at fault in this matter. But Wei Wuxian was too harsh."

Jin Zixun hurriedly said, "How am I wrong? It's Wei Wuxian who is being unreasonable."

Jin Guangshan shouted, "You're still being stubborn. If you hadn't provoked me first, how could this disaster have happened?"

Mrs. Jin looked at Jin Zixun distressedly, "Even if Zixun is wrong, Wei Wuxian can't be so excessive. You must stand up for Zixun."

Jin Guangshan said helplessly: "I will handle this matter properly. But we can't act rashly, so as not to cause greater trouble."

Mrs. Jin said angrily, "Then what do you say we should do? We can't just let it go like this."

Jin Guangshan thought for a moment and said, "First, send someone to the Wei family to deliver a letter, asking Wei Wuxian why he hit someone, and see how he responds."

Mrs. Jin nodded. "Okay, that's all we can do for now."

The letter was quickly delivered to Wei Wuxian.

After reading the letter, Wei WuXian sneered, "Jin ZiXun is the first to complain."

Meng Yao said from the side, "Ah Xian, you really acted impulsively this time. Now that the Jin family has come knocking on our door, what should we do?"

Wei WuXian said nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of? It was Jin ZiXun who provoked me first. I was just teaching him a lesson."

Meng Yao frowned, "That being said, the Jin family is powerful after all, and we cannot be careless."

Wei WuXian smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’m not afraid if the Jin Clan dares to come.”

A few days later, Jin's reply arrived.

Jin Guangshan used strong words in the letter, demanding that Wei Wuxian personally go to the Jin family to apologize and compensate Jin Zixun for his losses.

Wei WuXian was furious after reading the letter. "You want me to apologize? Dream on!"

Meng Yao said worriedly, "Ah Xian, don't be impulsive. The Jin family is coming with such force, we should come up with a plan."

Wei WuXian snorted, "Countermeasures? The Jin family is unreasonable, so there's no need for me to be polite to them."

Meng Yao said helplessly: "You will make things worse if you do this."

Wei WuXian said disapprovingly, "Let's make a big fuss. I want to see what the Jin Clan can do to me."

Just as Wei Wuxian and Meng Yao were discussing countermeasures, Jin made another move.

Jin Guangshan sent some disciples to spread the news in the immortal sect, saying that Wei Wuxian was bullying others, beating up Jin's disciples, and did not take the Jin family seriously.

The news quickly spread among the hundreds of immortal families, causing an uproar.

Some people began to blame Wei Wuxian, believing him to be too arrogant, while others believed that Jin Zixun had provoked Wei Wuxian first, and that Wei Wuxian's reaction was justified.

After Wei Changze learned about this, he asked with concern: "Ah Xian, what exactly is going on?"

Wei Wuxian recounted the entire situation to Wei Changze. After hearing this, Wei Changze angrily remarked, "Jin Guangshan is truly treacherous. He's trying to use public opinion to force Ah Xian into submission."

Meng Yao was also very angry. "This Jin family is too much. We can't just sit there and wait for death."

Wei WuXian thought for a moment and said, "Since they want to use public opinion against me, we can't show weakness. We should also send people to spread the news and tell the truth."

Meng Yao nodded, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

Soon, the Wei family's people also spread the news in the immortal sect, revealing that Jin Zixuan had provoked Wei Wuxian.

Now, the public opinion among the hundreds of immortal families began to shift again.

Someone said: "It turns out that Jin Zixun was the one who provoked it first, so it's understandable that Wei Wuxian took action."

Others said: "Kim is too overbearing. His own people provoked first, and he still demanded an apology from others."

Jin Guangshan was very angry when he saw that public opinion was unfavorable to the Jin family.

Mrs. Jin was also very anxious. "What should we do now? Public opinion is blaming our Jin family."

Jin Guangshan pondered for a moment and said, "It seems we need to change our strategy. We can no longer use force. We need to find a way to make Wei Wuxian apologize on his own initiative."

Mrs. Jin asked, "What's the solution?"

Jin Guangshan smiled mysteriously, "Madam, please come closer and listen."

Jin Guangshan whispered a few words in Mrs. Jin's ear, and Mrs. Jin nodded, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

Soon, Jin made new moves.

Jin Guangshan sent people to invite some seniors and celebrities from the immortal sect, saying that they wanted to discuss important matters of the immortal sect.

After these seniors and celebrities came to the Jin family, Jin Guangshan told them about Wei Wuxian beating Jin Zixun and asked them to seek justice.

After hearing this, these seniors and celebrities expressed their desire to handle the matter fairly.

Jin Guangshan was secretly delighted. He knew that with the support of these seniors and celebrities, Wei Wuxian would have no choice but to bow his head.

Meng Yao worriedly said after learning about this, "Ah Xian, this is troublesome. These seniors and celebrities are all on the Jin family's side. What should we do?"

Wei WuXian frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Looks like we can only go to the Jin family."

Meng Yao was surprised and asked, "Go to the Jin family? Aren't you afraid they'll embarrass you?"

Wei Wuxian laughed and said, "What am I afraid of? I, Wei Wuxian, am upright and honest. What can they do to me?"

So, Wei Changze and Wei Wuxian brought Meng Yao and Xue Yang to the Lanling Jin Clan.

Jin Guangshan and Mrs. Jin were already waiting in the hall.

Seeing Wei Changze coming, Jin Guangshan said with a fake smile: "Master Wei, you are finally here."

Wei WuXian snorted coldly, "Sect Master Jin, why did you call me here?"

Jin Guangshan said, "Master Wei, you must give an explanation for assaulting my Jin family disciple."

Wei WuXian sneered, "An explanation? Jin ZiXun provoked me first, and I was just teaching him a lesson. Could it be that Sect Master Jin only listens to one side of the story?"

Jin Guangshan said, "Even if Zixun did something wrong, you shouldn't have beaten him like that. If you do this, how can we maintain the reputation of the Jin family?"

Xue Yang was furious and said, "You are talking nonsense. Jin Zixun is just talking nonsense, and you can't tell right from wrong."

Xue Yang's words made Jin Guangshan's face turn blue with anger. He pointed at Xue Yang and shouted angrily, "How dare you, little brat, be so rude to me!"

Seeing this, Wei Wuxian stepped forward to block Xue Yang behind him, and said coldly to Jin Guangshan, "Master Jin, please don't be angry. Xue Yang is just speaking his mind, and he means no harm."

Jin Guangshan glared at Wei Wuxian and said through gritted teeth, "Well, you've gone too far! Today, I'll make you pay!"

Wei Changze patted Wei Wuxian on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down. He then said to Jin Guangshan, "Master Jin, what Ah Yang said was indeed inappropriate. I apologize to you."

Jin Guangshan looked at Wei Changze complacently and thought to himself: Humph, even you, Wei Changze, have to bow your head sometimes.

However, Wei Changze's next words surprised Jin Guangshan. "But how should we settle the score for Jin Zixun's verbal insults against the Yiling Wei clan?"

Jin Guangshan didn't expect Wei Changze to turn the tables on him, and was suddenly speechless.

At this point, Wei WuXian took advantage of the situation and said, "Master Jin, are you saying that only members of your Jin clan are allowed to bully others, but others can't fight back?"

Jin Guangshan was momentarily speechless. Seeing this, Madam Jin hurriedly said, "Wei Wuxian, don't be so arrogant. There are so many seniors and famous people here today. If you don't give us an explanation, you can't leave."

Wei Wuxian glanced at the seniors and distinguished scholars present and said, "Dear seniors and distinguished scholars, I, Wei Wuxian, have a clear conscience regarding what happened today. It was Jin Zixun who provoked and insulted my father first, so I took action. If you wish to make a decision for the Jin family, then I have nothing to say."

At this time, an elder said, "Master Wei, it is true that Jin Zixun was at fault first. But you were too harsh. You should apologize to the Jin family and let this matter go."

Wei Wuxian said firmly, "Apologize? Impossible! I, Wei Wuxian, did nothing wrong. Why should I apologize?"

Another famous scholar also said, "Master Wei, you are young and full of energy, but you must know when to stop. The Jin family also has a certain status in the immortal sect. If you don't give them a way out, I'm afraid this matter will not be resolved peacefully."

Wei Wuxian said, "Seniors and distinguished scholars, I, Wei Wuxian, am not an unreasonable person. But in this matter, I am not wrong. If the Jin family insists on my apology, then I will have no choice but to fight to the end."

The two sides were at a stalemate and the atmosphere was very tense.

Just then, Jin Zixuan walked in.

Jin Zixuan frowned when he saw this and said, "Father, Mother, there's something else going on."

Jin Guangshan and Mrs. Jin looked at Jin Zixuan at the same time. Mrs. Jin asked, "Zixuan, what's the secret?"

Jin Zixuan said, "It was Zixun who verbally abused Meng Yao first, and even dragged Wei Wuxian's father, Wei Changze, into the mix. That's why Wei Wuxian beat him up."

When Mrs. Jin and Jin Guangshan heard this, their faces changed.

Mrs. Jin glared at Jin Zixun, "Zixun, how could you do this?"

Jin Zixun lowered his head guiltily, not daring to speak.

Jin Guangshan said awkwardly, "So that's how it is. Sect Master Wei, Young Master Wei, we, the Jin family, are at fault in this matter. I apologize."

Wei WuXian sneered, "Master Jin, you know you're wrong now? What were you doing earlier?"

Jin Guangshan said, "Master Wei, this matter was indeed handled improperly by our Jin family. I promise that such a thing will not happen again. I hope Master Wei will be magnanimous and not take it to heart."

Wei Wuxian said, “Master Jin, I hope you’ll keep your word. If there’s a next time, I, Wei Wuxian, will not give up so easily.”

After saying that, Wei Wuxian and the others turned around and left the Jin family.
