Martial Peak

t really you?” Yang Kai is unable to believe that his hunch was right after his eyes first lay on this woman.
He thought that he had seen someone familiar.
Moments ago, his impulsive and weird actions were simply because he wanted to confirm if his hunch was right.

 

After the woman heard Yang Kai’s voice, she thought back to the time, two months ago, of the beggar who was covered in dirt.
Trembling, she spoke, “Little Beggar, is that you?”

 

Yang Kai took a deep breath.
After he heard those two words from her, he knew that his hunch was right.
[I would have never thought I would find the Madame of the Jiang Family here!]

 

There were only three people that referred to him as a Little Beggar.
The first was Cui Er, the second was the Jiang Family’s Young Lady and the third was the Madame of the Jiang Family.

(Silavin: Truth be told, the author is trying really hard to meet the word count in this chapter.
Tons of redundancies, and little movement in the plot.)

 

“Why are you here? What happened to you face? Yang Kai asked filled with doubts.
[Cui Er and the two women from the Jiang Family should currently be in Sea City, under the protection of the Miao Family.
So why is the Madame here? On the day we moved onto our different paths, Miao Hua Cheng had personally come to welcome them.
After all, the Young Lady had an engagement to the Miao Family.
As such, the Madame should be living her life, safe within the Miao Family.
Just how did matters go so out of hand that she landed here?]

 

“Young Hero…” After recognizing Yang Kai, the Little Begger who had previously rescued her, the Madame suddenly kneeled down onto the ground.
*Bang* With her head stuck to the ground, she cried out in grief, “Please, I beg of you, held my uphold justice for my Jiang Family!”

 

Yang Kai quickly tried to help her up.
When he got a glimpse of her face again, she had blood flowing from her forehead – evident that she was extremely desperate.

 

“This is not a place for us to speak.
Come, we must leave here first.” Yang Kai held her in the arm and supported her to hurriedly walk away.

 

[Why did her appearance change so much? Why would she be caught and be sent to the Red Cloud Sect? Where are Cui Er and the Young Lady? What happened to the Miao Family?] Yang Kai’s mind was flooded with questions.

 

 

Although they were not close to him, they had at the very least, lived with him for serval days.
Furthermore, it was fun to talk to Cui Er.
He could not forget her kindness in bringing him snack to share, and her smart-aleck charming personality.
Likewise, for her good heart and kind nature.

 

After a long time of walking, Yang Kai led the Madame to the hill top – which was considered to be the deeper parts of the Red Cloud Island, somewhere no normal human should be able to reach.

 

The people found a place to sit down.
The woman, suddenly thought of the miracle of meeting Yang Kai, broke down in excitement.

 

Yang Kai did not comfort her.
Instead, he allowed her to carry on crying.
After all, there was no rush.
He had many questions to ask and he knew that the Madame had many matters to inform him of.

 

Only after half an hour, did the Madame’s cries subside.
With her hair covering her face, she held her trembling body.

 

Yang Kai took off his own coat to place it over her.

 

“Thank you…” Even if she was in a pitiful state, the Madame did not forgo her courtesy.

 

“Please, tell me.
What happened?”

 

The Madame’s eyes reveal a slight disconnect as she reminisces of the past.
With a low and deep voice, she narrates the entire story for Yang Kai.

 

“Cui Er, Huan Er (The Young Lady) and I all went to the Miao family with Miao Hua Cheng.
For the first few days, Miao Hua Cheng treated us as honorable guest to his house.
However, when I talked to him about Huan Er’s wedding, he pushed back the date from three months to four months.
At first, I did not care too much about it.
When I talked to him about a few days later, he was agreed to it but held up some condition.
He said that his son’s status was honorable and my family’s Huan Er did not match with him.
If she wanted to marry him, she can at most be his concubine! I was furious but did not say anything else.

 

On the next day, I immediately told Huan Er and Cui Er to pack their things.
I wish to leave the Miao Family.
We had experience so much hardship to come to Sea City and it is not to have my daughter become someone’s concubine! What’s more, this is a marriage that he and my husband had agreed upon! How could he just go against his words like this?!

 

But, without waiting for us to leave the Miao Family, Miao Hua Cheng got angry and detained all of us.” The Madame’s face held a frightened look as she spoke.
It was evident that this whole situation was a nightmare to her.

 

Her expression turned even worse, appearing more depressed as she sobbed.
“I did not understand why Miao Hua Cheng would do all of this.
However, under inquiry of others, I finally got to know the truth.
He was the one who pulled the strings behind out backs! The death of my poor husband was due to his bribery of those in the Tong Province.
After my husband’s death, he reached out to me, reminding me of the marriage agreement my Huan Er had with his son.
How laughable… to think that I was caught unaware and drove my daughter to a tiger’s den…”

 

“Why did he do something like this? Weren’t you husband and Miao Hua Cheng best friends?” Yang Kai thought that the matters spoken here were more than what meets the eyes.
On the day that he had personally seen Miao Hua Cheng, with his sorrowful voice and sadden looks, it was clearly just an act!

 

Silavin: Hey guys, I know that Martial Peak has been having some irregular releases.
Truth be told, I was actually supposed to stop translating this series two weeks ago.
Cause I doubt that I could keep up with translating both novels, writing my story and studying my As all at the same time.

I chose to focus on translating Omni-Magician over this novel plain because it’s easier and shorter.
Likewise, got Mirausean translating with me on the same chapters, so it’s more fun to translate that piece.

Martial Peak is translated via turns.
I do a few chapters and luffy does a few chapters.
This chapters, was supposed to be done by luffy, but due to known circumstances, he had not contacted me for about 2 weeks.
He did try to contact me last Wednesday and said he had time to Whatsapp but I waited for him for the next few days and he did not reply.

Now, am I abandoning Martial Peak? Well, not really.
I’m still trying to re-upload the older chapters with edits and we still had stock to post.
(Posting got stalled because this chapter was not done until today.) However, the abandonment of Martial Peak translation would depend heavily on luffy at this point.
I’m not sure when we have a talk over this but I hope that it could be soon.

Anyways, we will see how things goes first.
Will keep you guys updated.
