When the n Leader of Qiu n, Qiu An Ping, saw Qiu Mu Qing making her way to him, he smiled immediately. A hint of affection could be seen in his eyes. “Mu Qing.” After a while, he could not help but sigh. He felt bad when he thought about how he might have to renege on his promise to his daughter. Since the day she was born, he had never let her down. However, this time, he might have to disappoint his daughter.
“Grand Elder. Second Elder,” Qiu Mu Qing greeted the two old men standing next to Qiu An Ping with a smile on her face when she arrived in front of Qiu An Ping. Based on her words, it was obvious the two old men were the Qiu n’s Grand Elder and Second Elder.
The Qiu n’s Grand Elder was an old man with a medium-build. He had an ordinary appearance. A smile appeared on his face when Qiu Mu Qing greeted him. He looked at her and nodded. “Little Qing’er.”
The Qiu n’s Second Elder was slightly bigger than the Qiu n’s Grand Elder. He was the same height as Qiu An Ping. When he heard Qiu Mu Qing greeting him, he only nced at her indifferently. However, a hint of dissatisfaction could be heard in his voice when he said, “Mu Qing, you’ve acted too rashly today.”
Qiu Mu Qing fell silent when she heard the Second Elder’s words. Today, when she had held Duan Ling Tian’s hand and pulled him out of the restaurant, she had acted instinctively. She was also stunned when she thought about her own actions. She agreed that she had acted too rashly and boldly. After all, regardless if she had a good impression of Duan Ling Tian or not, it was still the first time she had met him. Her actions could definitely be considered as a huge figurative p to the Dongfang n. Therefore, she did not dare to refute the Qiu n’s Second Elder’s words.
It did not take long before the Qiu n’s Second Master, Qiu Gang Yi, arrived as well. He took the initiative and greeted the three men. “n Leader, Grand Elder, Second Elder!”
When Qiu An Ping saw Qiu Gang Yi, he furrowed his brows subtly before he nodded indifferently.
Soon after, the elders with Qiu Gang Yi caught up as well and greeted Qiu An Ping and the two old men.
The Qiu n’s Grand Elder frowned when he saw so many elders had gathered. He said indifferently, “Qiu Gang Yi, you may stay. The others can leave.” Although he had spoken softly, his voice brooked no argument.
There were three Saint Stage powerhouses in the Qiu n. Among the three Saint Stage powerhouses, the Grand Elder was the strongest. For this reason, the other elders from the Qiu n did not dare to go against the Grand Elder.
After the Qiu n’s Grand Elder finished speaking, the elders from Qiu n nced at Qiu Gang Yi for a moment before they left. Although all of them wanted to go to the Main Hall to watch the show, they knew there was nothing they could now that the Grand Elder had spoken. They would have to ept that Qiu Gang Yi would be representing them.
When the elders from Qiu n left, Qiu Gang Yi was the only one left among his group of men.
After a few moments, Duan Ling Tian who had been walking slowly finally arrived before Qiu An Ping, the Grand Elder, and the Second Elder.
“Father, he’s the friend I mentioned earlier,” Qiu Mu Qing introduced Duan Ling Tian to Qiu An Ping when she saw him. She no longer felt worried after she saw how confident Duan Ling Tian was even though she knew her father might not be able to protect him.
“n Leader Qiu,” Duan Ling Tian greeted Qiu An Ping with a smile before Qiu An Ping said anything.
“Nice to meet you,” Qiu An Ping responded with a smile when he saw how polite Duan Ling Tian was. He asked, “How should I address you?”
“Li Feng!” Duan Ling Tian answered with a smile on his face.
Duan Ling Tian’s answer stunned Qiu Mu Qing for a moment. Since she knew his real name, she was slightly stunned when she heard him uttering an unfamiliar name. She regained her senses when she remembered Duan Ling Tian had asked her not to reveal his real name.
“So it’s Brother Li Feng,” Qiu An Ping nodded and said, “Brother Li Feng, you’re not from rity City, right?”
“No, I’m not.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head.
“May I know where you’re from, Brother Li Feng?” Qiu An Ping questioned him. There was a hint of optimism in his eyes when he spoke. This was because he knew it would be almost impossible for him to protect this purple-d young man. He hoped the purple-d young man had an extraordinary background. If that was the case, he might be able to cow the Dongfang n. Then his daughter would not be disappointed in him for not being able to protect the purple-d young man.
“n Leader Qiu, I’m just a wandering sectless cultivator!” Duan Ling Tian responded immediately. He did not reveal his background.
A sectless cultivator?
When Qiu n’s Second Master, Qiu Gang Yi, and the Second Elder heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, a hint of disdain could be seen on their faces. However, Qiu An Ping and the Grand Elder’s expressions turned solemn immediately. Qiu An Ping looked extremely disappointed as well.
As for the Qiu n’s Young Miss, Qiu Mu Qing, she was stunned when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. However, when she regained her senses, she thought Duan Ling Tian was merely hiding his background. He would probably reveal it when faced with the people from Dongfang n to scare them off. Otherwise, he would not have been so confident.
“Brother Li Feng, this is the Qiu n’s Grand Elder and Second Elder...” Qiu An Ping spoke again to introduce the Grand Elder and Second Elder who were standing next to him.
“Greetings to both of you,” Duan Ling Tian said courteously.
The Qiu n’s Grand Elder nodded nonchntly in respond.
On the other hand, the Second Elder of Qiu n pretended not to hear Duan Ling Tian. From the beginning until the end, he had only looked at Duan Ling Tian once before he ignored him.
Duan Ling Tian did not put much thought into it. Since he was in the Mortal Continent until now, he had seen many people who looked down on others.
“n Leader, Grand Elder, Second Elder... We should go in now. It would be rude if we keep the n Leader of Dongfang n and the elders waiting any longer,” Qiu Gang Yi said suddenly. His words seemed to be just a reminder to the others, but a hint of delight could be heard in his voice. There was no doubt he was taking pleasure in the misfortune that was about to fall on Duan Ling Tian.
After Qiu Gang Yi had spoken, the n Leader of Qiu n, Qiu An Ping, the Grand Elder, and the Second Elder made their way to the Qiu n’s Main Hall.
Duan Ling Tian walked next to Qiu Mu Qing as he followed them.
Qiu Gang Yi brought up the rear. It was as though he was worried Duan Ling Tian would run away at the crucial moment.
When Duan Ling Tian entered the Qiu n’s Main Hall, he saw how spacious it was. The decorations were simple yet elegant.
“Father, it’s him! It’s him!” An angry voice eximed while Duan Ling Tian was looking around the Main Hall. The voice sounded familiar to him. He instantly turned to look at the owner of the voice. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Dongfang Zhu, the Second Young Master of Dongfang n, whom he had beaten up in a restaurant in rity City.
At this time, Dongfang Zhu was standing next to a middle-aged man as he pointed at Duan Ling Tian furiously. Based on his words, it was obvious who the middle-aged man next to him was. He was none other than Dongfang Qian, the n Leader of Dongfang n.
When Dongfang Qian heard Dongfang Zhu’s words, he turned to look at Duan Ling Tian coldly like a snake looking at its prey.
However, Duan Ling Tian merely nced at Dongfang Qian once before he turned his attention to the two old men standing next to Dongfang Qian. It was obvious the two old men held high positions in the Dongfang n. ‘They must be the Grand Elder and Second Elder of Dongfang n.’
Earlier, when Duan Ling Tian was at Qiu Mu Qing’s private residence, he had heard the elders from Qiu n said that the n Leader of Dongfang n hade with his son, the Grand Elder, and the Second Elder. For this reason, it was not difficult for Duan Ling Tian to guess who they were.
These two old men were also Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses in the Dongfang n.
Simr to the Qiu n, the Dongfang n had three Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses as well. The three Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses were the n Leader, the Grand Elder, and the Second Elder.
As for the two men standing behind them, Duan Ling Tian did not give them more than a passing nce. It was obvious their positions in the Dongfang n were not high. They were probably ordinary elders.
The n Leader of Qiu n, Qiu An Ping, along with the Qiu n’s Grand Elder and Second Elder arrived before the people from Dongfang n.
Qiu An Ping smiled and greeted Dongfang Qian, “n Leader Dongfang!”
Meanwhile, the Qiu n’s Grand Elder and Second Elder greeted the Dongfang n’s Grand Elder and Second Elder.
‘Bitch! Bitch!’ Dongfang Zhu raged inwardly when he saw Duan Ling Tian and Qiu Mu Qing standing together, looking like they were a match made in Heaven.
