My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 329 This Is Not an Interview!

"Mr. Yang, you must not accept the duel on the Life and Death Platform!" The moment he arrived, Lei Qingtian was extremely agitated. "It's a conspiracy by the Cao Family! They're after your life!"

"Oh?" Yang Qi asked. "What exactly is this Life and Death Platform?"

"The Life and Death Platform decides not only victory but also life and death! It's located within the Martial Arts Association of every city. Once you step onto the platform, you must fight to the death, unless the victor chooses to spare their opponent's life," Lei Qingtian explained. "You mustn't act rashly. I know you have some fighting skills, but you've only been in cultivation for a few years. You're no match for those old-timers.

"What's more, they'll use a war of attrition to wear you down and biased referees to rig the matches. Even if you're stronger than them, you might not win. You can absolutely refuse! With the Lei Family here, the Cao Family won't dare to act recklessly. If you're worried about the safety of your friends and family, we can send people to protect them. Please, don't fall for their trap!"

Yang Qi took a deep breath. "Thank you, Elder Lei, but I don't pay any mind to Cao Kun or Shi Quan! This battle must be fought! Elder Lei, you should understand the matter between me and Lin Qingxuan. If I fear a mere Cao Family, what right do I have to marry Lin Qingxuan? What right do I have to challenge the Lin Family of Jingzhou?"

Lei Qingtian fell silent. In his view, Yang Qi was walking straight to his death. The problem was, Yang Qi clearly wasn't going to listen to him.

"Very well." Lei Qingtian no longer tried to persuade him. "Since you've made up your mind, Mr. Yang, all we can do is try to make this life-and-death duel as fair as possible!"

After Lei Qingtian, Zhao Xiong, Yan Bo, Du Le'an, and others also called. They all urged Yang Qi not to participate in the duel on the Life and Death Platform. None of them were optimistic about his chances, because his opponent was the notorious Shi Quan. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Yang Qi wasn't angry. These people were all concerned for him, so there was no reason for him to be upset.

「In the evening.」

As he sat in the living room watching TV, a strange figure suddenly appeared. Even now, Yang Qi still couldn't sense how terrifying this person was, a testament to the man's immense power.

"Uncle Jian!" Yang Qi said, looking at the middle-aged man.

Jianyi and Jian Er appeared as well.

"So, what do you say? Should I go and slaughter that Shi Quan for you?" Uncle Jian asked with a smile.

"Is this your idea, or is it Qingxuan's?" Yang Qi inquired.

"Does it make a difference?" Uncle Jian asked in return.

"If this is your idea, then your judgment is a bit lacking. If it's Qingxuan's, then I'm very happy, because it means she's always thinking of me," Yang Qi said.

"You cheeky brat!" Uncle Jian chuckled. "Qingxuan specially asked me to make this trip. No matter what, we can't let you die. That girl might say she wants you to train on your own and not to interfere, but deep down, she's incredibly anxious. Really, you don't need to be in such a rush. Take it slow!"

Yang Qi replied, "I know. It's just, I really don't see Shi Quan and Cao Kun as any real threat."

"Alright then. When does the duel on the Life and Death Platform begin?" Uncle Jian asked. "I'll come to show my support."

"In half a month," Yang Qi replied.

The timing was quite reasonable. At least it was after the Elixir Medicine Conference, so he could focus his full attention on that event first.

"Hmm? Is that you on TV?" Uncle Jian suddenly asked, looking at the television.

Yang Qi noticed it at the same time. The Jingzhou Television Station was airing an interview program. It was his interview with Song Ruize. He never expected that such an unreliable interview would actually be broadcast with such fanfare.

A monologue from Song Ruize began to play on the television: "For this installment of the program, my original intention was to visit the Qifei Group to discuss technical matters concerning their elixirs and, in the process, lift the veil of mystery surrounding the company. But to my surprise, a fine company like the Qifei Group was tarnished by a single rat, ruining the whole pot of soup. This severely disrupted my interview and resulted in the program you're about to see. I hope everyone understands!"

This man really knew how to spin a tale, praising the Qifei Group while ruthlessly denigrating Yang Qi. Without even watching the rest, Yang Qi knew what was coming.

The audience in front of their televisions, however, was a different story. They were suddenly interested. Who exactly was this rat?

Song Ruize's voice, filled with righteous indignation, continued, "Ordinarily, it is not appropriate to disparage someone during a program. But I simply cannot stand by and watch a company as full of promise and vitality as the Qifei Group be ruined by such a person!

"As the president of the Jingnan Prefecture Elixir Medicine Association, I feel it is my duty to eradicate this scourge on behalf of the Qifei Group! This scourge was once a top medicinal genius, but now, he has become a freeloader, a vile and unreasonable scoundrel! His name is Yang Qi!"

Yang Qi laughed. So I've become the scourge of the Qifei Group?

"He's talking about you!" Uncle Jian chuckled.

"He's just a petty man. This is so boring," Yang Qi said, not turning off the TV. He wanted to see exactly how Song Ruize was going to frame him.

The program continued.

"Some of you might think I'm exaggerating," Song Ruize went on. "After all, Yang Qi was once a genius. For the Qifei Group to have him should be like finding a treasure. But you are wrong. This interview truly showed me the depths of this man's ignorance. When it comes to technical matters, he's completely clueless. On top of that, he often skips work.

"I had no choice but to change the focus of the interview. When it comes to elixirs, he knows absolutely nothing!

"Moreover, this person has a history of stealing technology from others and claiming it as his own. He's no genius; he's a scourge. To top it all off, I conducted a comprehensive interview with him, and the man was shameless enough to admit to everything."

Then, the interview itself began to play.

Song Ruize asked, "I heard that you once caused your company's bankruptcy by stealing trade secrets from another company. Is that true?"

Yang Qi's voice answered, "Of course. That's an open secret."

Song Ruize continued, "I also heard that your wife left you because of your debauchery and domestic abuse. Is that correct?"

Yang Qi's voice replied, "That's right. It's true. I wish I had killed her!"

...

Every question Song Ruize asked was detrimental to Yang Qi. And in the broadcast, Yang Qi confessed to everything. This didn't feel like an interview; it was more like an interrogation.

"Hahaha, this old fox really has some tricks up his sleeve," Uncle Jian roared with laughter. "That's some creative editing, using cut-and-paste techniques to twist everything around. It's obvious he wants to completely ruin your reputation."

"Unfortunately, while you can see through it, the general public might not," Yang Qi sighed. "That old man is truly malicious. I underestimated him. He's so brazen, telling such lies. Isn't he afraid that when the truth eventually comes out, he'll become the target of public outrage?"

An ordinary person would be completely destroyed by this. They would be buried under an avalanche of cyberbullying and likely end up taking their own life.
