A Failure's hopeful Journey

You Zhichi, gestured the servant to bring the guests in the guest hall. She fixed her clothes and wiped her teary face. You Xi Wang waved his hand and conjured a ball of water out of thin air, splashed both himself and his sister with the ball of water, but before she could even react, she felt a gust of hot air circling around her like a cyclone and her clothes dried up quickly and her face was also cleaned.

Chen Qianbei and You Naixin exchanged glances, You Xi Wang just used three elements in that process, which was rare. You Xi Wang moved to the spot where he slammed his head and stepped over the cracked marble floor. He focused a bit and concentrated his spiritual energy on the sole of his feet and the crack fixed itself. His action stunted all three females in the room. He turned with a smile on his face and said, "We will talk later, the guests are here."

He finished his words and took a seat on the single chair and crossed his right leg over the other left, placed his elbows over the armrests, and leaned back slightly with a calm face. You Zhichi sat beside him on a chair similar to his while his aunt and grandma sat on a joint sofa. The servant led Takeshi Kinben and Ushijima Choma inside the hall with Ushijima Yuki in tow.

Takeshi Kinben was wearing a gray-black yukata, while he carried a samurai sword on his side, his black hair was done in a traditional samurai-style called the Chonmage. He had slit-like narrow gray eyes accompanied by straight, thin eyebrows, a sharp nose, and butt chin. He looked good. He gave off a warm aura.

Ushijima Choma was wearing a floral print white kimono, she was holding a fan in her palm, her black hair was tied in a different Shimadamage style. She had almond-shaped eyes were deep and black, she had long eyebrows that curved downwards at the end. Her face was like a painting, no words were enough to describe her beauty, pointed yet the small chin, a small pointed nose, petal-like nose.

Ushijima Yuki was wearing a modern style white one-piece knee-length skirt which was embroidered with silver flower patterns, paired with white slip-on sneakers. She was looking like a Barbie doll You Xi Wang had in his old world.

You Xiwang stood up and took a step forward and cupped his right fist with his left palm and bowed a little, "Welcome to You family, please pardon me for not receiving you all personally, I was amidst something important." he spoke in a tone arrogant firm nor too arrogantly.

Takeshi Kinben nodded in approval as You Xi Wang showed him courtesy, yet his voice was firm. He looked towards his wife and she displayed a rare smile and said, "Young master You, don't worry, we should be the one apologizing to you as we arrived unannounced. We hope you don't mind the intrusion."

You Xi Wang smiled and gestured them to take a seat as he was about to move towards the table his aunt gave him a mental message to him, "Xi Wang go back and sit, your sister will serve the tea. You are now Head of the family, you have an image to maintain." without a change in his face, he went to his chair and sat down while smiling calmly.

You Zhichi smiled and moved towards the table and started making tea for the guests, Ushijima Choma spoke first, "Please accept our condolences for losing your parents."

You Xi Wang replied, "Thank you."

Ushijima Yuki then asked, "Young master You, my daughter told me she is now in a relationship with you, while you already have two more women already. Why do you think we should allow your relationship with her? If someone has over one woman courts your sister will you allow that?"

The atmosphere instantly turned cold and You Xi Wang's smile disappeared while his eyes chilled, Ushijima Choma felt surprised and You Xiwang still said, "If my sister loves someone, regardless of his status and women, I will support her but if that man dared to hurt her, make her sad even for a second, I will make him realize that death would be better than living after hurting my sister. Also, I love Yuki, she has the same emotions towards me too. So, let's get to the point, what do I need to do to earn your approval."

His straight forward attitude came like a tornado and Takeshi Kinben finally spoke, "First, compare the art of the sword with me and second..."

"Give the position of your first wife to my daughter." Ushijima Choma completed her husband's words.

You Zhichi offered them tea to both of the guests while she gave a warm smile to Ushijima Yuki, who was rather nervous at this moment.

You Xiwang leaned forward and his eyes contacted Takeshi Kinben and he spoke with an unhurried voice, "I will compare the art of sword with you, sir." then he turned to Ushijima Choma and continued, "I understand you are her parents and are concerned for her future, then let me assure you I love all my women equally and they all know it better than you do. They can call each other elder sister or younger sister after they understand each other. Also, I told Yuki about the other two before I proposed to her."

Ushijima Choma turned to her daughter who nodded, She was about to say something when You Naixin spoke, "Madam Ushijima, you do not have to worry, our child is very talented and is an honest man, know my late nephew and niece-in-law, he has their blood running through his body and he won't taint their name. Also, I can swear a heavenly oath to assure you."

Chen Qianbei also nodded, You Xi Wang spoke in a soft voice, "Yuki do you love me?" everyone turned silent and Ushijima Yuki replied with a nod as she looked into his eyes, he spoke again, "Do you trust me?" she replied again

"Your daughter is blessed with the divine eye of the heart, she can see if someone is lying. I hope you know that." he continued, Ushijima Choma sighed and said, "I am aware of that, well then I will trust her judgment and allow you two to be together but the match is still needed, it is a family ritual."

You Xi Wang said, "Very well, let's do it now." he turned to his sister and said, "Big sis, can you find me a good sword." who smiled and nodded as she left the hall to get him a sword. You Xi Wang turned to You Naixin and said, "Granny Xin the arena, can I ask you to look if it is prepared?" she just stroked his head and left to make the arrangements. You Xi Wang also asked Chen Qianbei to make a recording of this match secretly through telepathy.

A new battle was about to begin.
