    The meaning in Dongfang Qian’s words was simple. As long as the Qiu n handed Duan Ling Tian over to the Dongfang n, they would forgive the Qiu n’s offense and continue to be allies with the Qiu n to oppose the Feng n.


    There was no doubt Dongfang Qian’s offer would benefit the Qiu n. After all, the purple-d young man was just a sectless cultivator and not a nsman of the Qiu n. It was a small price to pay for the Dongfan n to forgive their offense.


    “n Leader!” Qiu Gang Yi, the Second Master of Qiu n, said pleadingly as he turned to look at Qiu An Ping, the n Leader of Qiu n, “Li Feng is not from the Qiu n. It’s not necessary for us to trouble the n for an outsider! The Dongfan n won’t hold a grudge against us as long as we hand him over. Moreover, she no longer has to marry into the Dongfang n. This is a win-win situation for you and our n, n Leader.” A hint of excitement could be heard when he spoke.


    How Qiu Gang Yi wished he was the n Leader of Qiu n so he could ept Dongfang Qian’s terms. In his opinion, the term was extremely good. Not only would it resolve the conflict between the ns, but it would also benefit the Qiu n.


    Qiu An Ping frowned. Although he was unwilling, he had to admit Dongfang Qian had made concessions with the term he stated. Just as Qiu Gang Yi had said, it was a win-win situation for the Qiu n.


    However, Qiu An Ping hesitated when he recalled Li Feng was his daughter’s friend. He turned to look at Qiu Mu Qing with a hint of indecisiveness.


    “Father!” Qiu Mu Qing cried out as though she could read her father’s thoughts when she saw him looking at her. She said without any hesitation, “Although my actions today are rather rash and bold, it has nothing to do with the Dongfang n! I’ve never agreed to the engagement with Dongfang Zhu. What I do has nothing to do with the Dongfang n at all! What right does the Dongfang n has to seek justice from the Qiu n?”


    The people from the Dongfang n had a scowl on their faces when they heard Qiu Mu Qing’s words. It was true her actions had nothing to do with the Dongfang n since she did not agree to marry Dongfang Zhu.


    “Qiu Mu Qing!” Dongfang Zhu, the Second Young Master of Dongfang n, growled. “Currently, everyone in rity City knows that the Qiu n and the Dongfang n are going to form a marriage alliance through both of us. To these people, it’s only a matter of time before we get married... For this reason, your actions today have caused the Dongfang n to be aughing stock in rity City. How dare you im your actions have nothing to do with the Dongfang n?”


    “You can only me yourself for your wishful thinking. The people in rity City wouldn’t have misunderstood if the Dongfang n didn’t spread this rumor!” Qiu Mu Qing said calmly.


    “Wishful thinking?” Qiu Mu Qing’s words pricked Dongfang Zhu’s heart. She had spoken the truth after all.


    The expression of Dongfang Qian, the n Leader of Dongfang n, turned grim immediately. He said as he looked at the Second Elder of Qiu n, “Elder Qiu Zhi, if my memory serves me right, you’re the one who agreed to the marriage, right? Even as Second Elder, it seems like your words hold no weight in the n. Why did you agree to the marriage if you don’t have the right to make such a decision?” Dongfang Qian’s words revealed that the marriage was nned by the Second Elder of Qiu n, Qiu Zhi.


    Qiu Mu Qing was shocked when she heard Dongfang Qian’s words. She looked at Qiu Zhi as she said, “Second... Second Elder, who are you to decide my marriage?”


    All these while, Qiu Mu Qing had thought that Qiu Gang Yi and the other elders were the ones pressuring her father to marry her to Dongfang Zhu to form a marriage alliance with the Dongfang n.


    When rumors spread about her marriage to Dongfang Zhu, Qiu Mu Qing had assumed it was Dongfang n who had spread the rumor without any basis. It did not cross her mind that Second Elder Qiu Zhi had agreed to the marriage on her and Qiu n’s behalf.


    “Father” Qiu Mu Qing immediately looked at her father, Qiu An Ping, as though she had just recalled something important. A hint of uneasiness could be seen in Qiu Mu Qing’s eyes when she looked at her father. She hoped her father was unaware of this else as well. Otherwise, she would not know who else to trust in this world.


    “Qiu Zhi!” Qiu An Ping furiously said.


    Qiu Mu Qing sighed in relief when she saw her father’s reaction. She was certain her father was unaware of this matter as well even though he was the n Leader of Qiu n.


    Qiu An Ping stared at Qiu Zhi angrily and growled. “Who are you to decide my daughter’s marriage? Moreover, you made the decision without even consulting me as her father!”


    A frown could be seen on the face of the Grand Elder of Qiu n as well. It was obvious he had also just found out about this. The Second Elder of Qiu n had acted out of bound.


    “Who am I to decide on your marriage?” Qiu Zhi said calmly as he looked at Qiu Mu Qing. “I’m the Second Elder of Qiu n and you’re part of the Qiu n! It’s not too much to expect you to sacrifice a little for the n, especially when your sacrifice will benefit the n.”


    “As for you... ” Qiu Zhi said as he turned to look at Qiu An Ping, “If I had told you about this beforehand, would you have agreed to it? The decision to marry your daughter off to the Dongfang n is advantageous to you and strengthen your position as n Leader... You would lose your position if the Feng n decides to turn its eyes to us.” Qiu Zhi seemed as though he was very concerned for Qiu An Ping.


    Qiu An Pingughed when he heard Qiu Zhi’s words and said, “Do you think I like being the n Leader? To me, this position is nothingpared to my daughter. Who do you think you are? You’re not qualified to decide my daughter’s marriage.”


    Qiu Zhi scoffed and said, “Even if I’ve agreed to the marriage, the Dongfang n no longer wants a marriage alliance... I’ve no idea how you raised your daughter to be such a shameless and spoilt person!”


    “How dare you!” Qiu An Ping was infuriated when he heard Qiu Zhi insulting his daughter. The Saint Origin on his body surged out, and he attacked Qiu Zhi at lightning speed.


    Although Qiu An Ping and Qiu Zhi were cultivators at the First Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, there was a big difference in their strength.


    Boom!


    In just a blink of an eye, Qiu An Ping was sent flying by Qiu Zhi’s punch. When hended, he began to throw up a huge mouthful of blood.


    “Father!” Qiu Mu Qing cried out. When she regained her senses, she hurried to Qiu An Ping’s side to help him up. A hint of hatred could be seen in her eyes when she looked at Qiu Zhi.


    “Qiu Zhi!” A furious rang in the air just as Duan Ling Tian was about to make his move, causing him to restrain his Sun Saint Energy that he was about to release.


    The Grand Elder of Qiu n looked at Qiu Zhi coldly. His expression had turned grave.


    “Grand Elder!” Qiu Zhi’s expression changed when he heard the Grand Elder. Although he was stronger than Qiu An Ping, the n Leader of Qiu n, he was a lot weaker than the Grand Elder of Qiu n.


    “Grand Elder, everything I did was for the sake of our n. If you think I’m wrong, you can go ahead and kill me!” Qiu Zhi said solemnly to the Qiu n’s Grand Elder.


    This took the Qiu n’s Grand Elder by surprise and made him hesitate. As the Grand Elder of Qiu n, it was natural he wished for the Qiu n to prosper. Although Qiu Zhi had acted out of bound, he could understand that he had done it for the sake of the n.


    “Doing everything for the sake of the n is a good excuse!” Duan Ling Tian took a step forward as he sneered at Qiu Zhi. He knew it was time for him to act when he saw the Qiu n’s Grand Elder hesitating.
