The meaning in Dongfang Qian’s words was simple. As long as the Qiu Clan handed Duan Ling Tian over to the Dongfang Clan, they would forgive the Qiu Clan’s offense and continue to be allies with the Qiu Clan to oppose the Feng Clan.
There was no doubt Dongfang Qian’s offer would benefit the Qiu Clan. After all, the purple-clad young man was just a sectless cultivator and not a clansman of the Qiu Clan. It was a small price to pay for the Dongfan Clan to forgive their offense.

Clan Leader!
Qiu Gang Yi, the Second Master of Qiu Clan, said pleadingly as he turned to look at Qiu An Ping, the Clan Leader of Qiu Clan,
Li Feng is not from the Qiu Clan. It’s not necessary for us to trouble the clan for an outsider! The Dongfan Clan won’t hold a grudge against us as long as we hand him over. Moreover, she no longer has to marry into the Dongfang Clan. This is a win-win situation for you and our clan, Clan Leader.
A hint of excitement could be heard when he spoke.
How Qiu Gang Yi wished he was the Clan Leader of Qiu Clan so he could accept Dongfang Qian’s terms. In his opinion, the term was extremely good. Not only would it resolve the conflict between the clans, but it would also benefit the Qiu Clan.
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 Clan.


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 Clan! I’ve never agreed to the engagement with Dongfang Zhu. What I do has nothing to do with the Dongfang Clan at all! What right does the Dongfang Clan has to seek justice from the Qiu Clan?

The people from the Dongfang Clan 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 Clan since she did not agree to marry Dongfang Zhu.

Qiu Mu Qing!
Dongfang Zhu, the Second Young Master of Dongfang Clan, growled.
Currently, everyone in Clarity City knows that the Qiu Clan and the Dongfang Clan 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 Clan to become a laughing stock in Clarity City. How dare you claim your actions have nothing to do with the Dongfang Clan?


You can only blame yourself for your wishful thinking. The people in Clarity City wouldn’t have misunderstood if the Dongfang Clan 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 Clan Leader of Dongfang Clan, turned grim immediately. He said as he looked at the Second Elder of Qiu Clan,
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 clan. 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 planned by the Second Elder of Qiu Clan, 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 Clan.
When rumors spread about her marriage to Dongfang Zhu, Qiu Mu Qing had assumed it was Dongfang Clan 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 Clan’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 Clan Leader of Qiu Clan.
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 Clan as well. It was obvious he had also just found out about this. The Second Elder of Qiu Clan 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 Clan and you’re part of the Qiu Clan! It’s not too much to expect you to sacrifice a little for the clan, especially when your sacrifice will benefit the clan.


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 Clan is advantageous to you and strengthen your position as Clan Leader… You would lose your position if the Feng Clan decides to turn its eyes to us.
Qiu Zhi seemed as though he was very concerned for Qiu An Ping.
Qiu An Ping laughed when he heard Qiu Zhi’s words and said,
Do you think I like being the Clan Leader? To me, this position is nothing compared 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 Clan 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 he landed, 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 Clan 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 Clan Leader of Qiu Clan, he was a lot weaker than the Grand Elder of Qiu Clan.

Grand Elder, everything I did was for the sake of our clan. If you think I’m wrong, you can go ahead and kill me!
Qiu Zhi said solemnly to the Qiu Clan’s Grand Elder.
This took the Qiu Clan’s Grand Elder by surprise and made him hesitate. As the Grand Elder of Qiu Clan, it was natural he wished for the Qiu Clan to prosper. Although Qiu Zhi had acted out of bound, he could understand that he had done it for the sake of the clan.

Doing everything for the sake of the clan 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 Clan’s Grand Elder hesitating.
