Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 356 - 338 Poor Little Frost
This middle-aged woman, with a fierce face and a tall build, was obviously a Martial Cultivator.
Her blows were heavy as she grabbed Xiaoshuang’s collar, lifting the slight girl straight up before her large palm mercilessly slapped Xiaoshuang’s face, over and over again.
After a dozen slaps, Xiaoshuang’s cheeks had swollen considerably, blood was dribbling from the corners of her mouth, and her head was spinning.
Many bystanders had noticed the situation but not one of them stepped forward to intervene.
"Bang!"
The middle-aged woman then slammed Xiaoshuang down onto the ground; the back of the girl’s head struck the pavement, and she passed out immediately...
"Worthless wench!"
The middle-aged woman cursed harshly once more, spitting, and left with the smug-faced little boy.
The surrounding people had all kept their distance, adopting a stance of indifference.
They could tell from the woman’s luxurious clothing that she was not someone to be provoked easily, so no one had dared to come closer before.
And now that the woman had left, they all crowded around the now unconscious Xiaoshuang, pointing and talking, but still, not a single person offered to help.
As for Qin Qing, he was still in the middle of his martial practice.
He was completely unaware of what was happening outside.
But at that moment, Qin Qing suddenly furrowed his brow, feeling a sharp pain in his chest.
This surprised Qin Qing, and he abruptly opened his eyes.
After confirming that there was no problem with his body...
He looked around the room again and saw that his sister was not there.
Normally, his sister Xiaoshuang lived with him, practicing her martial arts by his side while he practiced.
But now she wasn’t here. Where had she gone?
A bad premonition surged in Qin Qing’s heart. He immediately rushed out to look for his sister in the other two rooms.
Still, there was no sign of her.
Then he hurried to Xiaoshuang’s suite, but she was nowhere to be found there either.
This gave Qin Qing an even worse feeling.
"Xiaoshuang!"
Qin Qing called out softly and rushed out...
Onto the deck.
By then, the deck was already crowded with many people.
Many were gathered together, seemingly discussing something in the middle of the crowd.
Qin Qing’s heart pounded fiercely as he pushed his way through the crowd—
Suddenly, the scene that met his eyes made his scalp feel like it was about to explode, and his eyes almost bulged out of their sockets!
He saw his sister Xiaoshuang curled up on the ground, with blood oozing from her mouth, her cheeks severely swollen, a gash on her forehead, her brows tightly furrowed in pain, in a semi-conscious state.
"Boom!"
It was as if thunder had exploded in his mind.
Qin Qing rushed over and picked up his sister.
"Who! Who did this?"
Qin Qing’s gaze swept across the crowd, his eyes like a Ferocious Beast selecting its prey!
"Who did this, step forward!" Qin Qing roared.
But nobody around stepped forward, and the people continued to gossip.
"Xiaoshuang, sister... sister, you... how are you?" Qin Qing gently caressed his sister’s cheek and kept calling out softly.
Xiaoshuang let out a low moan; she seemed to hear her brother’s calls, wanted to answer, but she couldn’t open her mouth.
Qin Qing quickly took out an elixir and placed it in Xiaoshuang’s mouth.
Soon, the medicinal effect dispersed, and Xiaoshuang gradually opened her eyes.
"Brother..." Xiaoshuang said softly.
"Xiaoshuang, who was it?" Fire burned in Qin Qing’s heart, "Who hurt you?"
Xiaoshuang shook her head, crying uncontrollably, tears streaming down, but still she said, "Brother, I’m fine, I just fell accidentally... It’s nobody’s fault!"
"Fell accidentally? How could this possibly be an accident!" Qin Qing gritted his teeth; he knew his sister didn’t want to cause him trouble, so she deliberately said so!
But seeing his sister treated like this, Qin Qing couldn’t suppress the fury in his heart.
"If you won’t tell your brother, then I will ask the management staff of this level!"
Holding his sister, Qin Qing shouted, "Managers, where are the managers of this level?"
The others just watched Qin Qing; aside from the few who looked at him with pity, most were simply there to enjoy the commotion.
In fact, many had seen the middle-aged woman who had attacked earlier, and they knew she was no ordinary person. Additionally, the embroidered ball had fallen from above, indicating that the woman and the young boy were staying in the First Class rooms of the Spirit Boat.
What did it mean for someone to stay in the First Class rooms and have a child with them?
It meant they were esteemed guests of the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion, and must be holding VIP cards. Those with VIP cards from the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion were not people these passengers in the lower class rooms could afford to offend.
Thus, these people did not want to invite trouble and naturally, no one stepped forward to tell Qin Qing the full story.
However, Qin Qing’s angry roars soon attracted a group of people.
This group was in charge of security on this level, led by the manager of the floor.
"What’s the matter, passenger? Why are you shouting on the Spirit Boat?"
The speaker was an elder dressed in a purple robe, on the right chest of which a "Spirit" character was embroidered with golden thread—a symbol of the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion!
"My sister was attacked on the Spirit Boat!"
Qin Qing looked at the elder and continued, "As per the rules of the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion, isn’t it forbidden to fight on the Spirit Boat? But my sister has been beaten like this here. I hope you can provide a reasonable explanation, and also, I need to know who it was that hit my sister!"
The purple-robed elder, upon hearing Qin Qing’s words and glancing at the Xiaoshuang cradled in his arms, frowned slightly and then turned to a guard beside him and said in a deep voice, "What happened?"
At the elder’s inquiry, the guard lowered his voice and said, "Elder Du, this matter is somewhat complicated..."
Upon hearing the guard say this, Elder Du understood what he meant.
The two stepped aside.
The guard whispered even more softly, "Elder Du, the one who did the hitting is in the First Class rooms upstairs, and it’s the lady from the Xu Clan..."
"The lady from the Xu Clan?" Elder Du caught on immediately upon hearing this from the guard.
He nodded his head and walked back towards Qin Qing.
While these two were conversing, they deliberately lowered their voices, even trying to create a barrier with their Spiritual Power to prevent others from overhearing.
However...
Qin Qing still heard every word of the two men’s conversation clearly.
"First Class room? The Xu Clan?"
Qin Qing looked down once again at his sister whose face was covered in bruises, and the cold killing intent surged once more in his heart.
Now he was just waiting to see how this Elder Du would handle the situation!
However, after that conversation with the guard, Elder Du did not approach Qin Qing with an explanation. Instead, he turned away and headed toward the higher-tier First Class cabins...
