Duan Ling Tian had offended several high-ranking officials in the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect. Although they were not extremely strong or influential, it would still be very easy for them to annihilate a third-rate force like the Qiu Clan. For this reason, he regretted not asking Qiu Mu Qing to keep his name a secret from her father.

“No,” Qiu Mu Qing answered as she shook her head. She was confused by Duan Ling Tian’s question, but she still said, “I told my father about everything that happened today. He should be with Grand Elder now to discuss how to deal with this matter when people from the Dongfang Clan come calling. However, he has promised me that he’ll try his best to protect you. You can stay in the Qiu Clan’s estate without any worries!” It was obvious Qiu Mu Qing was trying to rea.s.sure Duan Ling Tian.

“Miss Qiu, you don’t have to worry about the matter with the Dongfang Clan. I’m not afraid of the Dongfang Clan!” Duan Ling Tian said indifferently. However, his expression turned solemn when he said, “However, I’ll have to ask you to not reveal my name to anyone, including your father!”

Qiu Mu Qing did not take Duan Ling Tian seriously when he said he was not afraid of the Dongfang Clan. Although she had seen how strong Duan Ling Tian was, she did not think he was a match for the entire Dongfang Clan. She was, however, puzzled by Duan Ling Tian’s request to keep his name a secret. However, she did not say anything since she knew everyone had their own secrets. She believed he had a good reason for wanting to keep his name a secret.

“Okay.” Qiu Mu Qing nodded. “I promise I won’t reveal your name without your permission.”

Duan Ling Tian smiled when he heard Qiu Mu Qing’s words. He felt relieved. He was not afraid of wreaking havoc in Clarity City. However, he planned to keep his presence here a secret. He was afraid those high-ranking officials in the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect whom he had offended would find out he was in Clarity City and cause trouble for the Qiu Clan.

Duan Ling Tian was not certain if the Sanctum Leader of Azure Dragon Sanctum and Dong Yuan Jin, one of the Vice Hall Masters of the Enforcement Hall, would take any actions against the Qiu Clan. However, he was very certain Li An, the First Silver Flame Elder in the Black Turtle Sanctum, would definitely seize this opportunity and attack the Qiu Clan if he knew Duan Ling Tian had a good relations.h.i.+p with the Qiu Clan. If that happened, Qiu Mu Qing would certainly be affected.

For these reasons, Duan Ling Tian had requested Qiu Mu Qing to keep his name a secret. This way, no one would be able to link him, a famous prodigy from the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect, to the Qiu Clan even if he acted outrageously in Clarity City.

“You…”

“You……”

Both Duan Ling Tian and Qiu Mu Qing spoke at the same time after a period of awkward silence. They both fell silent to allow the other party to continue speaking.

“Please go ahead.”

“Please go ahead.”

After a few moments, Duan Ling Tian and Qiu Mu Qing said at the same time again. People would have thought they had rehea.r.s.ed this.

Qiu Mu Qing laughed as Duan Ling Tian fell into a daze again. Her face turned pink when she looked at Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian was about to speak when a deep voice interrupted him.

“Qiu Mu Qing!” A hint of anger could be heard in this voice that came from the distance.

Qiu Mu Qing’s smile vanished immediately and an unhappy expression appeared on her face when she heard this voice.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Duan Ling Tian frowned when he heard the sound of heavy footsteps approaching them. A strong and tall middle-aged man entered Qiu Mu Qing’s private residence with a group of old, middle-aged, and young men trailing behind him. It was clear they were here to look for trouble with Qiu Mu Qing. Some of them looked at her with a hint of hostility as though she had committed a serious crime.

“Second uncle and elders… What do you mean by this? Isn’t it a little rude for all of you to come calling without an invitation?” Qiu Mu Qing said as she stood up and turned to look at the people who came. She walked toward them.

Qiu Mu Qing was the owner of this private residence. It was rude for these people to drop in unannounced.

The person who had led the group over was none other than Qiu Gang Yi, the Second Master of Qiu Clan. The people behind him were elders whom he rallied to his cause. All of them shared a common goal to force Qiu Mu Qing to marry Dongfang Zhu, the Second Young Master of Dongfang Clan.

All of them were furious at Qiu Mu Qing when they heard of her actions. They knew the marriage alliance between the Qiu Clan and Dongfang Clan was over. They came over to punish her for her actions.

“What’s the problem? Since you plan to destroy the Qiu Clan, why would we need permission to enter your private residence?” Qiu Gang Yi, the Second Master of Qiu Clan, said as he looked at Qiu Mu Qing with a grave expression. “Do you think you’ll be able to live peacefully in your private residence without the Qiu Clan?”

Although Qiu Mu Qing addressed Qiu Gang Yi as second uncle, they were not closely related. Qiu Gang Yi’s grandfather were cousins of Qiu An Ping’s grandfather. He was only a distant relative.

Qiu Gang Yi only cared about the well-being of the Qiu Clan. He did not care about Qiu Mu Qing at all. As long as it would benefit the Qiu Clan, what Qiu Mu Qing wanted did not matter at all. For this reason, he had forced marriage on Qiu Mu Qing even though she had made it clear that she was unwilling. Qiu Gang Yi even went to the elders to rally them to his cause and pressured the Clan Leader, Qiu An Ping, so he would convince his daughter to marry into the Dongfang Clan.

Qiu Mu Qing was stunned when she heard Qiu Gang Yi’s words. She asked coldly, “Destroy the Qiu Clan? How did you come to this conclusion, uncle?”

“How did I come to this conclusion?” Qiu Gang Yi sneered as he looked at Duan Ling Tian who had appeared next to Qiu Mu Qing’s side. “Is this man your illicit lover? He’s really good-looking. Unfortunately, he’s a dead man walking now that he has offended the Dongfang Clan.”

“Illicit lover?” Duan Ling Tian frowned when he heard Qiu Gang Yi’s words. However, he chose to endure since Qiu Gang Yi was from the Qiu Clan. He would tolerate it for now. Naturally, there was a limit to how much he could tolerate. He moved to stand between Qiu Mu Qing and Qiu Gang Yi.

Qiu Mu Qing’s expression changed immediately as well when she heard Qiu Gang Yi’s words. She could still tolerate it if Qiu Gang Yi had only insulted her. However, she could not and would not tolerate him insulting her friend.

“Qiu Gang Yi! You better watch your mouth! He’s my friend!” Qiu Mu Qing said coldly as she glared at Qiu Gang Yi.

This was Qiu Mu Qing’s first time addressing Qiu Gang Yi by his full name. He was shocked when he heard her words. He quickly tamped down his anger and laughed. “It seems like you’re all grown up now. Addressing your uncle by his name and siding with your illicit lover over your uncle.”

“I repeat, he’s my friend, not my illicit lover!” Qiu Mu Qing said coldly. Based on her expression and her voice, it was obvious she was extremely furious.

Duan Ling Tian knew he could no longer remain quiet when he saw Qiu Mu Qing’s anger. He took a step toward Qiu Gang Yi as he said threateningly, “Are you Qiu Gang Yi? You better heed Miss Qiu’s advice and watch your mouth!”

Duan Ling Tian caught Qiu Gang Yi’s attention when Duan Ling Tian stepped forward. He was cowed by his threats, but he regained his senses and began to laugh. After a while, he looked at Duan Ling Tian coldly and said contemptuously, “Young lad, don’t think that you can do whatever you want in the Qiu Clan just because Qiu Mu Qing likes you. You’re a n.o.body in my eyes.”

“You still lack experience compared to me!” The Second Master of Qiu Clan, Qiu Gang Yi, said disdainfully. He studied Duan Ling Tian contemptuously as though he was the superior and Duan Ling Tian was his subordinate.

This annoyed Duan Ling Tian. He narrowed his eyes that gleamed coldly. His voice turned deeper as he said, “I lack experience compared to you?”

If people who were close with Duan Ling Tian were here, they would be able to tell he was extremely angry now.

“What? Are you questioning me?” Qiu Gang Yi said scornfully when he saw Duan Ling Tian was upset by his words. His disdain became even more obvious. There was a hint of arrogance in his gaze as well.

At this time, Qiu Mu Qing who was standing behind Duan Ling Tian stepped forward. She arched one of her perfect eyebrows as she said angrily, “Qiu Gang Yi! That’s enough!!”

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian sneered as he mobilized his Sun Saint Energy. He was prepared to teach Qiu Gang Yi a lesson so he would know whether it was wiser to offend Duan Ling Tian or the Dongfang Clan.

Duan Ling Tian’s robe had just begun to flutter as he prepared to strike when a hurried voice sounded urgently from outside of Qiu Mu Qing’s private residence.

“Second Master!” It was obvious the person who spoke had come for Qiu Gang Yi, not Qiu Mu Qing.

Qiu Mu Qing’s eyes instantly flashed coldly.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The sound of hurried footsteps sounded as a middle-aged man with an anxious expression appeared. He completely disregarded the master of the private residence, Qiu Mu Qing, as he made his way to Qiu Gang Yi. He reported, “Dongfang Qian, the Clan Leader of Dongfang Clan, has brought his son, Dongfang Zhu, the Grand Elder, and the Second Elder to the Qiu Clan’s estate. They’re here to demand an explanation from the Qiu Clan about what happened today!” This middle-aged man was obviously one of Qiu Gang Yi’s people.

The Dongfang Clan came to publicly rebuke the Qiu Clan for what had happened today!

“The people from Dongfang Clan are here?” Qiu Gang Yi’s expression darkened when he heard the middle-aged man’s words. A hint of viciousness could be seen in his eyes when he looked at Duan Ling Tian and Qiu Mu Qing.

Meanwhile, the elders who came with Qiu Gang Yi were shocked.

“The people from Dongfang Clan are here? Moreover, Clan Leader Dongfang Qian personally came here?” One of the Qiu Clan’s elders said with an ugly expression on his face as he glared at Qiu Mu Qing, “Young Miss, look at what you’ve done. It’s fine if you’re unwilling to marry into the Dongfang Clan. However, you’ve worsened matters by openly holding a man’s hand and bringing him back to the clan’s estate. You’re playing with fire by openly offending the Dongfang Clan!”

“In Clarity City, everyone knows the Young Miss of Qiu Clan will be marrying into the Dongfang Clan. However, today, you openly held a stranger’s hand and brought him back to the clan!” Another elder from Qiu Clan said angrily.

“Not only did she bring him back to the clan, but she even allows him to stay in her private residence. That’s outrageous!”

“We must hand him over to appease the people from Dongfang Clan!” One of the elders said as he glared at Duan Ling Tian, “Otherwise, we risk offending them. If that happens, the Feng Clan would be able to take the Qiu Clan and Dongfang Clan down! It would be easy for them to annihilate us!”

“Hmmph! You’re too simple-minded. Even if we hand him over, we might not be able to appease them. After all, Young Miss’ action is a huge humiliation to them. They definitely won’t let matters go so easily!”

“If that happens, we’ll just hand both of them over!”

The arrival of Qiu Gang Yi’s man had caused an uproar. Many elders from the Qiu Clan who had remained silent began to speak up one after another. Based on the elders’ expressions and words, it was clear they blamed Qiu Mu Qing for offending the Dongfang Clan.

“Bring both of them to the Main Hall so they can apologize to the Clan Leader of Dongfang Clan. We’ll give them a proper explanation!” Qiu Gang Yi ordered the men behind him to bring Duan Ling Tian and Qiu Mu Qing to the Main Hall.

Meanwhile, a burst of laughter suddenly rang in the air. It was so loud that it overwhelmed the discussion among the elders and stopped them from bringing Duan Ling Tian and Qiu Mu Qing to the Main Hall.

Everyone’s eyes s.h.i.+fted to the person who had laughed. It was none other than Duan Ling Tian who was standing next to Qiu Mu Qing.

“What are you laughing at?!” Qiu Gang Xi asked loudly. His voice was almost as loud as Duan Ling Tian’s laughter. His expression darkened when he saw Duan Ling Tian laughing.

Even Qiu Mu Qing had a confused expression on her face as she looked at Duan Ling Tian. She did not know why Duan Ling Tian was laughing under these circ.u.mstances!

Although Qiu Mu Qing’s father, Clan Leader Qiu An Ping, had promised to do his best to protect Duan Ling Tian, she was still worried. She did not expect the situation to escalate to this extent.

Not only did Qiu Gang Yi and these elders from Qiu Clan intend to hand Duan Ling Tian over to the Dongfang Clan, but they even intended to hand Qiu Mu Qing over to appease them.

Qiu Mu Qing was not worried she would be handed over to the Dongfang Clan. Not only would that be a humiliation to the Qiu Clan, but her father would never let her go as well. She was more worried about Duan Ling Tian’s safety.

Would her father be pressured by Qiu Gang Yi and the others?!

While Qiu Mu Qing was feeling worried, Duan Ling Tian had laughed as though he was not worried at all. She was baffled. She did not know why Duan Ling Tian was laughing.

When Duan Ling Tian heard Qiu Gang Yi’s words, he stopped laughing and looked at Qiu Gang Yi. He said slowly, “What am I laughing at? I’m laughing at you fools. A group of men has to depend on a girl to protect their clan. In my opinion, all of you are nothing but trash.” Duan Ling Tian’s statement was uttered fearlessly.

Even a doll would get angry, let alone Qiu Gang Yi and the elders from Qiu Clan!

When they heard Duan Ling Tian’s offensive words, they were momentarily stunned. They thought they had heard wrongly. However, based on the expressions they saw on each other’s faces, they knew they did not mishear Duan Ling Tian! Duan Ling Tian had indeed insulted them.

The eyes of Qiu Gang Yi and the elders from Qiu Clan turned cold immediately. They were furious.

“Boy, you’re seeking death!”

“Who do you think you are? You dare to call us tras.h.!.+”

Qiu Gang Yi was not the only person who was staring at Duan Ling Tian with killing intent. Even the group of elders were staring at Duan Ling Tian with killing intent. It seemed as though they wanted to attack him to vent their anger!

Hu!

At this moment, something flashed before Duan Ling Tian’s eyes and he smelled something fragrant. It was Qiu Mu Qing. She had stepped in front of him to s.h.i.+eld him. His heart felt warm when he saw this. Then, he turned to look at Qiu Gang Yi and the elders from Qiu Clan disdainfully. “Why? Are you angry because you feel ashamed?” Not only was Duan Ling Tian not afraid, but he even sneered as he said, “Don’t tell me you think I’m wrong?”

Although Qiu Gang Yi and the others were furious, they could not refute Duan Ling Tian’s words. After all, Duan Ling Tian had spoken the truth.

“Now, I know all of you can’t wait to hand me and Miss Qiu over to the Dongfang Clan so we will go along with your plan…” Duan Ling Tian said.

Qiu Mu Qing turned around immediately when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. She wanted to stop him and said, “Duan…”

However, Qiu Mu Qing was interrupted by Duan Ling Tian’s arrogant voice as he said, “Miss Qiu, we’ll follow them to the Main Hall and meet the people from Dongfang Clan. Maybe they will show us mercy and let us go?”

There was a hint of sarcasm and amus.e.m.e.nt in Duan Ling Tian’s words, but it seemed as though Qiu Gang Yi and the others did not realize it.
