Chapter 2074: The Qiu Clan’s Leader

“Show you mercy and let you go?” When Qiu Gang Yi and the elders from Qiu Clan heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, they smirked. They all thought the purple-clad young man was too naive!

The Dongfang Clan might not have a choice but to let Qiu Mu Qing go since she was the Young Miss of Qiu Clan. Moreover, she was under the protection of the Clan Leader of Qiu Clan. It might be impossible even if they wanted to hand her over to the Dongfang Clan.

However, who was the purple-clad young man? He was a nobody. Qiu Mu Qing might try and protect Duan Ling Tian, but she would have a tough time protecting herself. How could she possibly protect this purple-clad young man as well?

“Naive! How funny!”

“He publicly humiliated Dongfang Zhu, the Second Young Master of Dongfang Clan, and he thinks the Dongfang Clan is going to show him mercy? Is he out of his mind?”

“If he likes to daydream, then, let him be!”

“Yes. Since he’s willing to go to the Main Hall to see those people from the Dongfang Clan, let him be. Let him say what he wants.”

The elders from Qiu Clan discussed among themselves. Based on their words, it was obvious they did not think much of Duan Ling Tian’s words.

Since Duan Ling Tian was willing to go to the Qiu Clan’s Main Hall and meet the people from Dongfang Clan, they had nothing else to say. After all, Duan Ling Tian was not from the Qiu Clan. Although they were elders in the Qiu Clan, they had no right to tell him what to do. As long as Duan Ling Tian did not drag the Qiu Clan into this mess, they did not care about him at all.

“Since you’ve agreed to it… Let’s go!” Qiu Gang Yi said as he looked at Duan Ling Tian from the corner of his eyes. Then, he turned to look at Duan Ling Tian intently. It was as though he was prepared to make a move if Duan Ling Tian suddenly refused to go to the Main Hall.

The elders from Qiu Clan turned to look at Duan Ling Tian as well. They shared the same thought as Qiu Gang Yi.

If Duan Ling Tian was willing to meet with the people from Dongfang Clan at the Qiu Clan’s Main Hall, the Qiu Clan might not be dragged into this mess. However, if Duan Ling Tian was not willing to go with them, the people from Dongfang Clan were definitely going to think they were protecting him. This would cause the rift between the Qiu Clan and the Dongfang Clan to widen. It would not benefit the Qiu Clan at all if that happened.

“What? Are you afraid I’m going to go back on my words?” Duan Ling Tian said nonchalantly. He knew what Qiu Gang Yi was thinking when he saw Qiu Gang Yi glaring at him intently.

“Naturally, I hope you won’t go back on your words. However, regardless if you’re willing or not, I’ll still bring you over even if you’re unwilling!” Qiu Gang Yi sneered.

“Based on your strength?” Duan Ling Tian scoffed. Then, he turned to look at Qiu Mu Qing and said, “Miss Qiu, I don’t know the way… Please lead the way!” When he spoke to Qiu Mu Qing, his voice turned gentle and friendly.

“But…” Qiu Mu Qing hesitated when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. Initially, she thought her father would be able to protect Duan Ling Tian since he was the Clan Leader of Qiu Clan. However, based on how willing Qiu Gang Yi and the elders were to hand Duan Ling Tian over to the Dongfang Clan, she could not help but feel worried.

Although not all the elders from the Qiu Clan were on Qiu Gang Yi’s side, a great majority was on his side. With so many elders pressuring Qiu An Ping, it would be difficult for him to protect Duan Ling Tian even if he was the Clan Leader.

When Duan Ling Tian saw Qiu Mu Qing hesitating, he said, “Relax.” He sounded calm and confident, causing Qiu Mu Qing to feel more confident.

“D-do you have a way to deal with the Dongfang Clan?” Qiu Mu Qing asked through Voice Transmission. She could not help it. Due to the reason she did not know Duan Ling Tian very well, she thought Duan Ling Tian must have come from an extraordinary family since he was so confident. At the very least, the force behind him could not be any weaker than the Dongfang Clan, one of the three strongest clans in Clarity City.

“You’ll know when the time comes,” Duan Ling Tian answered Qiu Mu Qing confidently through Voice Transmission. He did not reveal anything, causing Qiu Mu Qing to be convinced he had an extraordinary background.

Qiu Mu Qing became less worried after she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. She took the lead and left her private residence to lead Duan Ling Tian to the Qiu Clan’s Main Hall. At the same time, she was extremely curious about Duan Ling Tian’s background. She would never expect that Duan Ling Tian was so confident not because of his background but it was because of his strength!

At that moment, she was filled with curiosity about Duan Ling Tian’s background.

The Dongfang Clan might be powerful among third-rate clans, but they could not compare to Duan Ling Tian!

“Let’s go!” Qiu Gang Yi said immediately when he saw Duan Ling Tian and Qiu Mu Qing making their way to the Qiu Clan’s Main Hall.

“Hmph! Young Miss is too reckless. If it’s possible, I wish the clan will hand her over to the Dongfang Clan as well!”

“You’re right. I’ve always turned a blind eye to her antics previously. To think she dares to act so intimately with a man in front of so many people in Clarity City…”

“Everyone knows she’s engaged to the Second Young Master of Dongfang Clan!”

“She has indeed humiliated the Dongfang Clan!”

“I can only hope they’ll be appeased when we hand the purple-clad young man over to them. As for Young Miss’ mistake, the Qiu Clan can only compensate in another way.”

“No matter what, we can’t risk making an enemy out of the Dongfang Clan… I think that as long as we’re willing to compensate, the Dongfang Clan wouldn’t go as far as to break ties with the Qiu Clan. After all, the people from Dongfang Clan also know they’re no match for the Feng Clan without the Qiu Clan!”

The elders from the Qiu Clan began to discuss among themselves as they made their way over to the Qiu Clan’s Main Hall.

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian heard their words. He only shook his head. At the same time, he turned to look at Qiu Mu Qing, the Young Miss of Qiu Clan, with a hint of pity in his eyes. He thought she was pitiful because her clan only regarded as a tool to strengthen the relationship between the Qiu Clan and the Dongfang Clan.

“The Main Hall is just in front… Are you sure about this? If you’re not, I’ll find a way to stop them!” Qiu Mu Qing said to Duan Ling Tian through Voice Transmission as she slowed down.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian caught a glimpse of the Main Hall. From a distance, the Main Hall looked majestic.

“You’ll find a way to stop them?” Duan Ling Tian was shocked when he heard Qiu Mu Qing’s words. He had asked Elder Huo to check the cultivation base of Qiu Gang Yi and the others earlier. He learned that none of them were at the Saint Celestial Stage. The strongest among them was Qiu Gang Yi who was at the peak of the Peak Quintessential Saint Stage. Qiu Mu Qing’s cultivation base was only at the Exemplary Saint Stage, it would be impossible for her to stop the others even though their cultivation base was not high.

“I’ll threaten to commit suicide if any of them dares to go after you. I think even Qiu Gang Yi wouldn’t dare to act as he pleases. He’d be worried by my dad will turn against him if I die!” Qiu Mu Qing explained herself through Voice Transmission as though she could sense Duan Ling Tian’s doubts. It seemed as though she was ready to die when she spoke.

Although Duan Ling Tian knew Qiu Mu Qing had said this because she was certain Qiu Gang Yi and the others did not dare to endanger her life, he still felt moved by her words. After all, they had only met today. It could be seen that she was a kind person. She did not want him to be harmed because of her.

“Why? Miss Qiu has so little faith in me?” Duan Ling Tian teased her after he took a deep breath.

“It’s not that. I’m just a little worried. Since you’re so confident, let’s go in. I’m curious how the Dongfang Clan will react when they find out they can’t do anything to you,” Qiu Mu Qing said through Voice Transmission. Her voice turned a little mischievous when she spoke. Based on her words, it seemed as though she was certain Duan Ling Tian had an extraordinary background. He had to come from a force that was stronger than the Dongfang Clan.

“Hm?” When they were about to arrive at the Qiu Clan’s Main Hall, Duan Ling Tian saw three people walking toward them. It was a middle-aged man who was dressed finely accompanied by two white-haired old men.

“Father!”

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian heard Qiu Mu Qing’s voice. He saw her moving quickly to the middle-aged man who was dressed finely.

‘He must be the Clan Leader of Qiu Clan,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

Indeed, the middle-aged man who was dressed finely was Qiu An Ping, the Clan Leader of Qiu Clan! He was a middle-aged man with a strong build. A determined expression could be seen on his face that had sharp features. He looked handsome. He must be a good-looking man when he was younger.
