Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1319: Chapter 853: If You Dare Marry Me, I Don’t Mind Killing My Husband as a Sacrifice to the Dao (Part 2)

Li Qianqian was furious, ”You’re talking nonsense. As long as I don’t agree, any marriage contract is null and void!”

”The words of parents and the matchmaker do not require your consent!” Senior Brother Wang said coldly.

”You~” The lovely face of Li Qianqian instantly turned icy, ”If you dare marry me, I don’t mind slaying my husband as a sacrifice to the Dao, and switching to the emotionless Sword Dao!”

Senior Brother Wang’s face turned completely dark!

Slaying husband as a sacrifice!

This crazy woman!

Yang Qinting was stunned, looking at Li Qianqian, this side of her was something he had never seen before.

Full of anger and a murderous aura, she was nothing like her previously charming and naïve self!

Such a change made Yang Qinting doubt whether this was the Junior Sister Li he knew.

As if noticing Yang Qinting’s gaze, Li Qianqian’s icy expression suddenly couldn’t be maintained, her cheeks turned rosy, and her eyes were full of affection, ”Senior Brother Yang!”

The charming voice dispelled Yang Qinting’s doubts completely.

Yang Qinting touched his nose and said with an awkward smile, ”Junior Sister is truly valiant!”

Slaying husband as a sacrifice! It sounds terrifying!

”I was just speaking nonsense in anger earlier, don’t believe it, Senior Brother!” Li Qianqian looked at Yang Qinting with apprehensive eyes.

To Senior Brother Wang, she could be ruthless enough to slay her husband as a sacrifice.

But towards Yang Qinting, she preferred to be a virtuous wife and loving mother.

”Haha, Senior Brother believes Junior Sister!” Yang Qinting didn’t really know what to say, so he could only respond as such.

He was just feeling uncomfortable, bothered by someone’s gaze.

Those eyes seemed to be poisoned, making him extremely uneasy.

”Adulterers, I will kill you both!” Senior Brother Wang roared in extreme anger.

The next moment, he unexpectedly drew a long sword and thrust it straight at Yang Qinting.

His attack was so sudden that no one expected it.

This was the Diligent Work Hall, an important area of the Sect; how could weapons be easily drawn?

Yang Qinting reacted extremely quickly. As he sensed the sharp sword light, a long spear appeared in his hand, but someone reacted even faster than him.

Before Senior Brother Wang’s sword edge reached, a refined sword light blocked Yang Qinting.

”Hmph~~”

A cold snort resounded, and Li Qianqian was already in front of Yang Qinting, waving her azure sword, causing ripples like water to spread out.

”Dare to fight in the Diligent Work Hall, Senior Brother Wang, are you crazy!” Li Qianqian swept her sword, shattering Senior Brother Wang’s sword light.

”Li Qianqian!” Senior Brother Wang growled through gritted teeth.

”Enough, all of you, stop!”

At this moment, an elderly man with white hair walked out from the depths of the hall, staring sharply like a sword at Senior Brother Wang, Li Qianqian, and Yang Qinting.

Meanwhile, other disciples in the hall gathered to watch the scene unfold.

”Hey, isn’t that Senior Brother Wang? Why is he so angry like this?”

”Hehe, why else? That’s Junior Sister Li over there! Everyone knows Junior Sister Li doesn’t look up to Senior Brother Wang!”

”Oh, so that’s it! But who is that other person?”

”I know, I know, he’s a new disciple just promoted from the Outer Sect, seems his family name is Yang, hehe, this person was already close with Junior Sister Li while in the Outer Sect.”

”I see~~”

The crowd of disciples murmured softly, their eyes full of curiosity for gossip.

Unintentionally, Yang Qinting became the target of their chatter.

Marrying within the Sect is a normal occurrence; however, most disciples of Xuanqing Sect do not marry while in the Outer Sect. They wait until entering the Inner Sect, or when they are certain they cannot advance to the Inner Sect, to consider marriage.

This is a convention within Xuanqing Sect because not entering the Innate Realm means you cannot stand out.

Outer Sect disciples who enter the Innate Realm before forty can join the Inner Sect, after forty can serve as stewards within the Sect.

If someone marries before entering the Innate Realm, it not only delays their cultivation but also means facing an uncertain future.

Thus, within Xuanqing Sect, a custom arose to marry after reaching the Innate Realm cultivation.

Senior Brother Wang and Li Qianqian both served as disciples in the Diligent Work Hall, so many disciples knew them well and understood their relationship.

Especially since Li Qianqian had publicly rejected this Senior Brother Wang several times, everyone knew quite a bit about the inside story.

It was a simple matter: the Wang family and the Li family had arranged for an alliance through marriage. The intended couple was Senior Brother Wang and Li Qianqian, but Li Qianqian had always refused, leading to the current situation.

”What do you all intend to do?” the white-haired elder approached and asked sternly.

”Disciple greets Steward Sun. Steward Sun, he was the one who drew his sword first!” Li Qianqian immediately reported.

Senior Brother Wang was still filled with anger, glaring grimly at Yang Qinting.

Yang Qinting sighed softly in his heart; fate is inevitable, and trouble can’t be avoided. It seemed his peaceful days in Xuanqing Sect were coming to an end.

Steward Sun glanced at Senior Brother Wang, frowning, ”Wang Qisheng, do you mean to make this old man call for the Law Enforcement Hall?”

He was well aware of the affair between the Wang and Li families, but he didn’t wish to get involved, as he was merely a steward, not an elder.

Elders are esteemed as Martial Gods within Xuanqing Sect, while stewards simply handle miscellaneous affairs of the Sect.

Wang Qisheng’s expression was indecisive, but in the end, he just gave Yang Qinting a hateful look and then departed, swishing his sleeves.

He did not dare challenge the authority of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Watching his departing back, Li Qianqian pouted disdainfully, ”A clueless fool!”

She then turned and showed a charming smile to Yang Qinting, ”Senior Brother!”

The swiftness of her change in demeanor left Yang Qinting momentarily stunned, but soon after, he couldn’t help but smile.
