Chapter 2071: Beauty Is the Root of Trouble

Dongfang Zhu and the two elders returned to the Dongfang Clan’s estate in a hurry after they left the restaurant. As soon as they arrived in the Dongfang Clan’s estate, they sought an audience with the Clan Leader of Dongfang Clan immediately. The Clan Leader was Dongfang Qian, Dongfang Zhu’s father!

“Father!” Dongfang Zhu exclaimed. His face was filled with rage.

“The Qiu Clan and Qiu Mu Qing have crossed the line!”

“What happened?” Dongfang Qian asked with a frown when he saw how agitated his son was. His son had come to him half an hour ago and requested for him to send two elders at the peak of the Quintessential Saint Stage out with him. He was surprised to see Dongfang Zhu and the two elders returning so soon. Moreover, they seemed extremely upset.

“Father! Initially, I planned to teach the man who humiliated me with the help of the two elders. However, that man had already left the restaurant with Qiu Mu Qing when I arrived,” Dongfang Zhu said with a dark expression, “Qiu Mu Qing was seen holding the man’s hand when they left the restaurant. Moreover, we found out she has brought that man back to the Qiu Clan’s estate and even allowed him to stay in her private residence!”

Dongfang Zhu’s eyes were bloodshot as he continued to say, “From what I know, she has never allowed anyone to stay in her private residence before this. That man is the first guest in her private residence!”

Based on Dongfang Zhu’s words, it could be seen that he knew her quite well. He was furious because he had long regarded Qiu Mu Qing as his woman. However, she had taken the initiative to hold another man’s hand and even brought him back to her private residence in the Qiu Clan’s estate. He felt as though he was going to lose his mind the more he thought about it.

“What?!” Dongfang Qian’s expression darkened immediately when he heard Dongfang Zhu’s words. A hint of killing intent could be seen in his eyes. “How dare Qiu Mu Qing act so brazenly!”

“Clan Leader!” One of the elders who was sent out to help Dongfang Zhu said, “Qiu Mu Qing and the Qiu Clan have crossed a line. Everyone in Clarity City knows that Qiu Mu Qing is your future daughter-in-law… Her actions today have humiliated our clan!”

“I agree, Clan Leader,” the other elder from Dongfang Clan said furiously. “If we don’t deal with this matter properly, I’m afraid we won’t be able to lift our heads in Clarity City! At that time, people would lose respect for the Dongfang Clan.”

“We’ll definitely deal with this matter accordingly!” Dongfang Qian said as he looked at the two elders coldly, “Do you have any suggestions on how to deal with this matter?”

“Clan Leader, I suggest that you personally lead a team to the Qiu Clan to condemn Qiu Mu Qing’s actions… We should demand for an explanation from her and the Qiu Clan!” One of the elders from Dongfang Clan said, “Moreover, we should ask the Qiu Clan to hand Qiu Mu Qing and the purple-clad young man over to us so we can punish them accordingly. We should also break off the engagement between Qiu Mu Qing and Second Young Master!”

“I agree!” The other elder from the Dongfang Clan nodded. “The news of Qiu Mu Qing’s actions is spreading like wildfire in Clarity City. If we don’t break the engagement, we’ll be a laughing stock in Clarity City! We need to be the one who breaks the engagement so everyone knows that it’s the Dongfang Clan that rejected her, not the other way around!”

“I’ll lead a team to the Qiu Clan’s estate and demand for an explanation. Otherwise, people are going to think the Dongfang Clan is a pushover!” Dongfang Qian said coldly, “It’s necessary for us to break off the engagement with such a woman! The Dongfang Clan can’t accept a woman like that!”

“It shouldn’t be difficult to force the Qiu Clan to hand the purple-clad young man over, but they won’t easily hand over Qiu Mu Qing to us. That shameless woman is the apple of Clan Leader Qiu An Ping’s eyes!” Dongfang Qian said with a frown.

“Father! You must demand the Qiu Clan to hand Qiu Mu Qing over to us!” Dongfang Zhu quickly said, his eyes gleaming sinisterly. Dongfang Zhu wanted to capture Qiu Mu Qing and ravage her. He wanted her even if he could not marry her!

“My son, I understand how you feel, but it’s not practical to demand the Qiu Clan to hand Qiu Mu Qing over to us for the time being,” Dongfang Qian said to Dongfang Zhu.

“Second Young Master, Clan Leader is right!” One of the elders standing next to Dongfang Zhu said, “Qiu Mu Qing is Qiu An Ping’s only daughter. There’s no doubt that he would sacrifice his life for her. There’s no way he would hand Qiu Mu Qing over to us.”

“Second Young Master, we understand that you hate Qiu Mu Qing… However, it’s impossible the Qiu Clan would hand her over to us!” The other elder said.

Dongfang Zhu fell silent when he heard their words. It was not that he could not understand their thoughts, but he found it difficult to accept. He knew there was nothing he could do even if he could not accept it.

“My son, I promise you I’ll capture Qiu Mu Qing for you after this matter has been dealt with! For the time being, we’ll just capture the purple-clad young man for you to vent your anger.” Dongfang Qian consoled his son.

Dongfang Zhu’s eyes brightened when he heard his father’s promise. He quickly thanked his father. “Thank you, father!”

“Go to the front yard and wait for me there. I’ll discuss this matter with Grand Elder and Second Elder first,” Dongfang Qian said, “I believe the elders will be furious as well when they learn about Qiu Mu Qing’s actions today and how the Qiu Clan seems to be turning a blind eye to it! I will look for you once I’m done discussing this with Grand Elder and Second Elder.” He left in just a blink of an eye after he finished speaking. As a powerhouse at the First Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, his speed was naturally faster than Dongfang Zhu and the two elders.

Dongfang Zhu and the two elders went to the front yard to wait for Dongfang Qian after he left.

Just as Dongfang Qian had said, the Grand Elder and Second Elder were furious when they learned about what Qiu Mu Qing had done. In their opinion, she had crossed the line.

After that, Dongfang Qian, the Clan Leader of Dongfang Clan, led the Grand Elder and Second Elder to the front yard to look for Dongfang Zhu and the two elders before they left the Dongfang Clan’s estate.

When the people from Dongfang Clan flew to the Qiu Clan’s estate, they attracted many people’s attention.

“Isn’t that Dongfang Qian, the Clan Leader of Dongfang Clan?” A passerby asked when he saw the people from Dongfang Clan flying in the sky.

“The Grand Elder, Second Elder, and the Second Young Master are with him as well. It seems like they’re heading to the Qiu Clan’s estate to demand an explanation regarding Qiu Mu Qing’s actions!”

News of Qiu Mu Qing’s actions had spread in Clarity City. Naturally, people came to this conclusion when they saw people from the Dongfang Clan making their way to the Qiu Clan’s estate.

“The Young Miss from Qiu Clan is very bold to protect the man who humiliated the Second Young Master of Dongfang Clan. I can’t believe she even brought him back to the Qiu Clan’s estate to stay in her private residence. It seems like they’re not just acquaintances!”

“Qiu Mu Qing’s actions are akin slapping the Dongfang Clan’s face. It’s only natural that Clan Leader Dongfang Qian is going to the Qiu Clan’s estate!”

“It seems like things are going to change in Clarity City… The Qiu Clan and the Dongfang Clan will probably no longer be allies. The Feng Clan is definitely going to seize this opportunity to further expand their power. Things are looking good for the Feng Clan!”

“That girl destroyed two clans in a day. Her beauty is the root of this trouble!”

“I have a feeling the man Qiu Mu Qing brought back will die or suffer!”

Many people began to discuss among themselves when they saw the people from the Dongfang Clan making their way to the Qiu Clan’s estate.

Most people seemed to think Qiu Mu Qing was the source of the trouble and misfortune only awaited the purple-clad young man whom she had brought back to the Qiu Clan’s estate.

…

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian was unaware of all the commotion outside.

He was currently sitting with Qiu Mu Qing at a stone table in the front yard of her private residence. She had just returned from Clan Leader Qiu An Ping’s residence.

“Miss Qiu, did you tell your father my name?” Duan Ling Tian asked suddenly as though he just recalled something. He knew his name would bring trouble to the people associated with him. After all, he had offended many people. Moreover, those people were not ordinary people. They were high-ranking officials in one of the great sects in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, the Fire Worship Sect.
