War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

“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 shifted 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 circumstances!

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 trash!”

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 shield 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 amusement in Duan Ling Tian’s words, but it seemed as though Qiu Gang Yi and the others did not realize it.
