”I don’t care what you’ve wagered, young master. I only care about what happens next year when the Cultivation Immortality List changes. When the boast you made gets shattered by reality, how will you handle it?”

Murong Ao turned to look at Murong Tianren and said, ”Father, since Qin Tian is seeking his own doom, let’s give him a year. Just a year. Murong Fei won’t age much in that time, and with the Murong Family backing her, she can still marry into a prominent family. What do you think?”

Murong Tianren pondered.

Originally, he intended to refuse Qin Tian through other means, but now that it had come to this, he felt that using the matter of the Cultivation Immortality List to refuse Qin Tian was quite feasible. The bet wouldn’t make Qin Tian resentful either.

Murong Tianren didn’t want to openly offend Qin Tian because, after all, Qin Tian controlled the eastern main gate of the Imperial City. For some shady dealings, he might need Qin Tian’s help in the future.

”In that case, very well. Qin Tian, I will plead with my older brother for you. Whether you can succeed or not will depend on your fortune. I’ve already done my best.”

Murong Tianren put on a reluctant expression, indicating he was already helping Qin Tian, urging Qin Tian to remember this favor well.

”Thank you, Lord Murong. Thank you for your generous support.”

Qin Tian cupped his fists in gratitude.

...

The bride price offered was rejected by Murong Tianren, who said that Qin Tian should come back with an open marriage proposal after the Cultivation Immortality List changes next year.

As Qin Tian and Zhou Yang were walking out, Zhou Yang asked, ”Boss, can you really trust Murong Ao and Murong Tianren? I always feel like these two are schemers.”

Qin Tian replied, ”At this point, if I want to marry Murong Fei legitimately, I can only do it this way. If things go south, Murong Fei will be stuck in the middle and feel very bad.”

As Qin Tian and Zhou Yang were talking, they arrived at the gate of the Murong Mansion, where they happened to see a group of people stopping at the gate.

This group was dressed in flashy attire, and the leader, a man in his forties, looked both dapper and arrogant.

Qin Tian thought this man was some young master of the Murong Mansion, but when he approached, he heard him declare loudly, ”Notify them that Young Master Xiao Lingyun of the Xiao Family is here to propose marriage!”

Buzz!

Qin Tian and Zhou Yang were taken aback simultaneously.

Xiao Lingyun!

What a coincidence, this guy turns out to be Xiao Lingyun!?

What a small world, indeed!

Qin Tian thought to himself, sneering, this guy actually dares to compete with him for Murong Fei!

Thinking of putting his sights on Murong Fei!

Qin Tian glared fiercely at Xiao Lingyun.

Xiao Lingyun’s cultivation was higher than Qin Tian’s, and he caught that glare entirely. He directly said to Qin Tian, ”Who are you, to be releasing killing intent towards me? Hmph, the Murong Mansion is about to become in-laws with my Xiao Family. Are you dissatisfied with me, Xiao Lingyun?”

”What if I am dissatisfied...”

Qin Tian was about to retort disdainfully when Murong Ao walked out with a hearty laugh, saying, ”Brother Lingyun, welcome, welcome, come in, come in.”

Murong Ao’s attitude towards Xiao Lingyun was entirely different from his attitude towards Qin Tian.

Xiao Lingyun brushed Murong Ao off with a nod and turned his gaze directly on Qin Tian.

Murong Ao’s smiling face turned slightly stiff as he noticed something amiss.

”Brother Ao, who is this guy? I haven’t seen him at your mansion before. Is he from the Murong Family?” Xiao Lingyun frowned, ”He seems quite dissatisfied with me, as if I stole his woman...”

Whoosh!

Qin Tian’s face froze.

Zhou Yang’s face froze as well.

”Hahaha...”

Murong Ao burst into laughter and gave Xiao Lingyun a thumbs up, ”Brother Lingyun, you truly have a keen foresight. To be honest, he does bear a grudge because you indeed stole his woman.”

”Ah?”

Xiao Lingyun was bewildered, ”There have been at least eight hundred, if not a thousand women I’ve been with. If you say I stole his woman, I really can’t remember.”

”Hey, tell me, what’s the name of your woman? I can even tell you how she is in bed, hahahaha...”

Xiao Lingyun and Murong Ao were birds of the same feather, both were carefree scoundrels of the noble class, and Qin Tian sneered at them.

”Speak up,” Xiao Lingyun laughed, seeing Qin Tian remain silent, ”hahahaha...”

”Your mom.”

Qin Tian simply uttered two words.

A still-laughing Xiao Lingyun didn’t hear clearly, ”What? What did you say?”

”I said your mom. My woman, is your mom.”

Buzz!

Upon Qin Tian’s remark, Xiao Lingyun’s smile vanished instantly. Without a word, he raised his hand to throw a fierce punch at Qin Tian!

Qin Tian had anticipated this and knew Xiao Lingyun’s cultivation was higher than his, so he sidestepped to avoid the blow instead of facing it directly.

”Kid, you’re courting death!”

Missing his punch infuriated Xiao Lingyun, who launched a series of fierce attacks at Qin Tian!

Knowing that he probably wouldn’t stand a chance if he really fought Xiao Lingyun, Qin Tian maintained a defensive stance, avoiding direct confrontation.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Xiao Lingyun, at the Early Stage of his cultivation, had formidable True Qi power. In his rage, he recklessly destroyed half of the courtyard wall beside the Murong Mansion’s gate!

”Stop! Stop!”

Murong Tianren was alarmed, emerged quickly, and shouted, ”Young Master Xiao, please stop!”

All the experts and family members of the Murong Mansion also rushed out to witness the confrontation between Qin Tian and Xiao Lingyun.

Seeing Qin Tian on the defensive under Xiao Lingyun’s aggressive attacks, Murong Fei felt a pang of worry.

She knew Xiao Lingyun was there to propose marriage and could guess why Qin Tian and Xiao Lingyun were fighting, feeling a wave of distress. Xiao Lingyun’s family wielded considerable power, and she was terrified that Qin Tian might suffer.

”Separate them for me!”

Seeing Xiao Lingyun ignoring the pleas, Murong Tianren put aside his gracious demeanor, ordering sternly. An imposing man from behind him, appearing to be in his forties or fifties, swiftly intervened, exerting a formidable force of True Qi to separate Xiao Lingyun and Qin Tian!

”Middle Stage!”

Xiao Lingyun paused for a moment, realizing it. Although initially intending to fight the newcomer, he refrained upon seeing it was someone from the Murong Family and stepped back reluctantly.

The man swiftly separated the two of them.

Murong Tianren descended the steps, approaching Qin Tian and Xiao Lingyun, with his gaze fixed on Qin Tian, furious, ”Qin Tian, why did you start a fight and injure others at the gate of the Murong Mansion? You’ve gone too far by destroying our courtyard wall!”

Whoosh!

Qin Tian was taken aback!

Damned, this old guy twists the truth!

Clearly, it was Xiao Lingyun who started it! Clearly, it was Xiao Lingyun who destroyed the courtyard wall!

This old guy, instead of blaming Xiao Lingyun, targets him!

”Hmph, all these noble families are in cahoots!”

Qin Tian sneered internally, glancing coldly at Xiao Lingyun, and said coldly:

”Lord Murong, Xiao Lingyun and I have different True Qi attributes. The traces of damage on the courtyard wall are still there. I wouldn’t mind if you check closely whose True Qi caused the destruction.”
