When the Clan Leader of Qiu Clan, 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 Clan’s Grand Elder and Second Elder.

The Qiu Clan’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 Clan’s Second Elder was slightly bigger than the Qiu Clan’s Grand Elder. He was the same height as Qiu An Ping. When he heard Qiu Mu Qing greeting him, he only glanced 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 slap to the Dongfang Clan. Therefore, she did not dare to refute the Qiu Clan’s Second Elder’s words.

It did not take long before the Qiu Clan’s Second Master, Qiu Gang Yi, arrived as well. He took the initiative and greeted the three men. “Clan 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 Clan’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 Clan. Among the three Saint Stage powerhouses, the Grand Elder was the strongest. For this reason, the other elders from the Qiu Clan did not dare to go against the Grand Elder.

After the Qiu Clan’s Grand Elder finished speaking, the elders from Qiu Clan glanced 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 accept that Qiu Gang Yi would be representing them.

When the elders from Qiu Clan 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.

“Clan 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 Clarity 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-clad young man. He hoped the purple-clad young man had an extraordinary background. If that was the case, he might be able to cow the Dongfang Clan. Then his daughter would not be disappointed in him for not being able to protect the purple-clad young man.

“Clan 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 Clan’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 Clan’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 Clan to scare them off. Otherwise, he would not have been so confident.

“Brother Li Feng, this is the Qiu Clan’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 Clan’s Grand Elder nodded nonchalantly in respond.

On the other hand, the Second Elder of Qiu Clan 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.

“Clan Leader, Grand Elder, Second Elder... We should go in now. It would be rude if we keep the Clan Leader of Dongfang Clan 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 Clan Leader of Qiu Clan, Qiu An Ping, the Grand Elder, and the Second Elder made their way to the Qiu Clan’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 Clan’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 exclaimed 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 Clan, whom he had beaten up in a restaurant in Clarity 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 Clan Leader of Dongfang Clan.

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 glanced 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 Clan. ‘They must be the Grand Elder and Second Elder of Dongfang Clan.’

Earlier, when Duan Ling Tian was at Qiu Mu Qing’s private residence, he had heard the elders from Qiu Clan said that the Clan Leader of Dongfang Clan had come 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 Clan.

Similar to the Qiu Clan, the Dongfang Clan had three Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses as well. The three Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses were the Clan 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 glance. It was obvious their positions in the Dongfang Clan were not high. They were probably ordinary elders.

The Clan Leader of Qiu Clan, Qiu An Ping, along with the Qiu Clan’s Grand Elder and Second Elder arrived before the people from Dongfang Clan.

Qiu An Ping smiled and greeted Dongfang Qian, “Clan Leader Dongfang!”

Meanwhile, the Qiu Clan’s Grand Elder and Second Elder greeted the Dongfang Clan’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.
