I'm Going to Cheat (Continued)

Guan Chong exclaimed in astonishment, "How could this be! Aren't men in the Si Clan forbidden from cultivating the 'Water Moon Precious Mirror'?"

Of course, I learned it on the spot. You can learn this kind of simple skill after watching it once.

While thinking this to himself, Si Ming said aloud, "I am the clan chief's son and the young clan chief's younger brother, of course I have special privileges. What's so strange about secretly learning the 'Water Moon Precious Mirror'? Didn't you secretly learn it too?"

He spoke with such self-assurance that Guan Chong was momentarily at a loss for words to refute him, especially given his overly "upright" tone.

The members of the Si Clan were also somewhat bewildered by this suddenly appearing "young clan leader's younger brother." After hearing such a statement about "using public office for private gain," they all turned their gazes to Si Jingyu with Anomalies looks, but no one stood up to question him.

After all, Si Ming was right. As the younger brother of the young clan leader, it was normal for him to have some privileges. Although it violated the rules set by the ancestors, the Lineage organization was ultimately a circle ruled by people, not by law. The rules were only for reference, and the final order was given by the person in power.

Which of the powerful elders in the Lineage dares to say they are completely innocent and have never abused their power for personal gain? They'd probably find ways to manipulate even the smallest bit of power.

Moreover, given the current predicament of the Si Clan, the young patriarch's petty act of "abusing power for personal gain" is nothing. No one would be foolish enough to jump out at this moment, point at Si Ming, and shout, "You violated the family rules by secretly learning the 'Water Moon Precious Mirror,' and you are not qualified to fight on the battlefield." If someone did that, even a blind person would see that she was a spy.

"These Mohist Knight Guard are so unreliable! They actually framed Miss the moment they showed up."

Si Shuiyun Secret Voice Transmission, saying indignantly.

The Si Clan's request for help from the Mohist Knight Guard was kept very secret, but Si Jingyue, the clan leader, and Si Jingyu, the young clan leader, must have known about it. Si Shuiyun, as a confidante, also knew something about it. Therefore, when she saw Si Ming appear and impersonate the young clan leader's younger brother, she guessed his identity.

"However, why does he also know the 'Water Moon Precious Mirror'? Could it be that Mohist Knight Guard once secretly copied his family's secret techniques?"

Si Jingyu speculated, "Perhaps he used a martial art similar to 'Stars Fall and Sun Sinks,' didn't you see that the two holes were different depths?"

The reason is that Si Ming's left hand holds the Dragon-Slaying Saber, while his right hand holds a paper cutter.

Si Jingyue murmured, "However, he really looks like you, Yu'er. If I hadn't known beforehand that he was a member of the Mohist Knight Guard, I probably would have believed him..."

She stared at Si Ming in the arena, her eyes revealing complex emotions—a mixture of nostalgia and regret.

"Since Mohist Knight Guard hired someone to impersonate my brother, he would definitely choose someone who looks similar, otherwise wouldn't that just arouse suspicion?"

Si Jingyu thought this was quite normal, but sensing her mother's thoughts, she sighed and advised, "Mother, what you're thinking is impossible. Don't forget that my younger brother was born with a blocked meridian and cannot cultivate Internal Cultivation."

"I know, I know... I was just reminded of my poor child by the sight of this place, and I don't even know if he's still alive..." Si Jingyue lowered her head and wiped away her tears.

Although Si Jingyu wanted to comfort her mother, she had a more important responsibility at this moment and could not act like a little girl, otherwise the clan would waver. So she could only suppress her emotions and turn her gaze to the center of the hall to look at the fake younger brother who looked very much like her.

Guan Chong out of his daze and said angrily, "I was punished for stealing the 'Water Moon Precious Mirror,' but you were unharmed for doing the same. How can this be..."

Si Ming yawned and interrupted, "Hey, hey, hey, classmate, have you misunderstood the purpose of your trip? You're here to oppose feminism, not to oppose privilege. Look at the guests here today; nine out of ten are from the privileged class, including those Aristocratic Clan and tycoons who secretly support you. They also belong to the privileged class. Are you sure you want to oppose them?"

Guan Chong was speechless. He had indeed been able to stand here because of the support of other Aristocratic Clan, including the fact that he had taken a large number of pills, which temporarily increased Aristocratic Clan Cultivation Body.

But does that mean those who uphold privilege don't object?

His opposition to the Si Clan's preference for women over men is essentially an opposition to injustice, and privilege is also a form of injustice. If he only opposes the former and not the latter, he will lose the most important theoretical foothold. Others will think that he is fighting against the Si Clan for his own selfish reasons and that he is applying a selective double standard.

But can he oppose privilege?

Those representatives of the Aristocratic Clan and conglomerates, which one of them isn't a privileged class within their clan? If he dares to say such a thing today, he will have no place to stand in Nation of Beauty in the future, and all Aristocratic Clan and conglomerates will see him as a thorn in their side.

Guan Chong looked at Si Ming in front of him. The young man looked relaxed, as if he didn't know that he had forced the other person into a dilemma with just a few words.

"Words are useless. Our positions are different, and there's no possibility of negotiation. Let's settle this with our strength. Be careful, I said I wouldn't hold back anymore. If you want to live, step down. You don't need to risk your life for those women."

"Actually, I don't oppose your idea. It's a pity that even with the best intentions, if you go in the wrong direction, you'll only get the wrong result in the end. History has proven that the roundabout way to achieve your goal is not feasible."

Si Ming, listening from below, understood perfectly and agreed with Si Jingyu's words. Even if Guan Chong won today, he wouldn't be able to take away the Si Clan's baby boy, because all the Aristocratic Clan would step in to stop him.

The Si Clan's custom of favoring daughters over sons is indeed a bad habit, but it has also allowed the Si Clan to continue to this day. Do other Lineage have similar bad habits?

Undoubtedly, there are such cases. The closed-off nature of Lineage makes it easy for all sorts of rules to disregard human rights to arise. However, it is undeniable that these rules are also one of the cornerstones of the Lineage. If they tolerate Guan Chong on the Si Clan's rules today, it is hard to guarantee that someone will not come to break their Lineage's rules tomorrow.

Nation of Beauty Aristocratic Clan families are similar to Europe nobles. Their struggles rarely involve annihilation or eradication. Instead, they focus on the continuation of their bloodlines. They might capture someone, collect a ransom, and release them. As a result, it is common for one family to rise and fall in the political arena. Even if a family falls from grace, it may have a chance to rise again in the future because the Aristocratic Clan are essentially a large alliance. In the end, the infighting is all among their own people.

Guan Chong's actions were tantamount to challenging the bottom line of this grand alliance and attempting to break the established rules. Naturally, those Aristocratic Clan would not allow him to act recklessly.

Si Jingyu mocked Guan Chong as a fool precisely because he couldn't even see this point. He actually wanted to use the power of the Aristocratic Clan to undermine Aristocratic Clan foundations, which was destined to be a joke.

"Considering you're just a small fry, I'll limit myself to ten moves. If I can't defeat you in ten moves, I'll admit defeat."

Si Ming's words caused an uproar among the crowd.

"Did I hear that right? He actually set a ten-move limit too! Guan's Silk-Coiling Hand is already incredibly skilled, and with his Level Twelve Internal Cultivation, he can withstand more than ten moves from Spirit Transformation expert. Does he think he's stronger than Spirit Transformation expert?"

"Did he even watch a fight? Anyone with a modicum of discernment wouldn't say something like that after watching a fight. Could he be bluffing?"

"In the hundreds of years of history of the Si Clan, no male master has ever emerged. This kid has always been protected by his sister, so he's probably just all talk and no action, a mere armchair strategist."

"Hey, given the Si Clan's preference for daughters over sons, it's one thing for this kid to boast, but if he really is a master, the Si Clan will definitely not tolerate him, and they'll inevitably discard him after he's done with him!"

Guan Chong to the crowd's discussion, Guan Chong sneered at Si Ming and said, "Did you hear that? Let alone whether you can win or not, even if you do win, you won't have a good ending. Do you really think your sister can protect you? Would she go against the pressure of the entire Lineage to protect you?"

If Si Ming were truly a member of the Si Clan, he might have hesitated, even if not for his own sake, but for his sister's. However, he was just an imposter, so he wouldn't care about such things. He felt no guilt whatsoever about taking advantage of his sister.

"Enough with all this nonsense. Are you even a man if you keep babbling? If you're a man, then settle things with your fists!" Si Ming decisively unleashed his mocking Fist Intent.

Guan Chong could no longer contain himself and roared, "No man from your Si Clan has the right to say such things!"

Before he finished speaking, he bent down and shrank forward, using a move called the Innate Tiger-Form Coil with both hands, as if he wanted to pounce on his opponent and repeat the entanglement with Si Shuiyun earlier.

However, halfway through the attack, Guan Chong suddenly flicked his arm, transforming the lunge into a thrust, which veered off course and aimed at Si Ming's armpit. The coiling energy transformed into a Coiling Silk Force, creating a gust of air.

Innate Twelve Coils Entanglements were his most prized martial art, it didn't mean he was incapable of other martial arts. This move, "Wind-Chasing Shuttle," was a technique he created by combining the content of the "Water Moon Precious Mirror." Compared to "Stars Fall and Moon Sinks" and "Water Moon Mirror Shatters," this move was more concealed and more cunning and difficult to defend against.
