In the Leng Clan, during this period of time, Leng Ning's life wasn't going smoothly.
Ever since Yan Kong was humiliated by Qin Wentian, he intentionally went to his uncle to complain. Of course, he didn't say that he was tortured, but rather, he wanted to tell his uncle that the little woman he had chosen, Leng Ning, was actually on very good terms with another man.
Hence, Yan Kong's uncle, Yan Tie, sent someone to the Leng Clan, telling Leng Ning to obediently go to the Yan Clan to look for him.
Such an attitude caused Leng Ning, who was originally unwilling, to not dare to go. She knew that as long as she entered the Yan Clan, what awaited her would be a nightmare. She didn't know how her uncle would treat her, he might even torture her to death. As a young girl, how would she dare to enter the Yan Clan?
But to Leng Ning's despair, the people of the Leng Clan forced her to go to the Yan Clan every day. Even her father came to persuade her to go, and her movements were restricted. This caused Leng Ning to be on the verge of collapse. If the Leng Clan continued to force her to go to the Yan Clan, she would have no choice but to die. Since she would be tortured to death if she went to the Yan Clan, she might as well be straightforward.
Some of the servants in the Leng Clan felt pity for Leng Ning. Such a beautiful young girl, yet she had to suffer such a cruel fate. This was too cruel to Leng Ning. She should have been able to find a good husband to return to.
At this moment, in Leng Ning's courtyard, Leng Ning's father appeared again. "Leng Ning, the exchange is about to start. Don't let Yan Tie be completely enraged."
Leng Ning's countenance was ice cold as she stared at her father. "Hehe, exchange? Just because Yan Tie decided to give us a few slots, you want to sacrifice me?"
"Leng Ning, what do you mean by sacrifice? Yan Tie is an extremely powerful third-ranked Grandmaster Weaponsmith. How many people would want to get close to him? You are going to marry him, and this is such a good opportunity. The clan has already taken care of you," Leng Ning's cousin, Leng Lin, spoke in a strange tone.
"If it's so good, why didn't you go ahead and marry him? Why did you push it to me?" Leng Ning coldly laughed.
"Who asked me to find my own husband?" Leng Lin leaned against the young man beside her, her head slightly raised as she looked at Leng Ning arrogantly.
"Leng Ning, you should know how important the Refinement Grounds are to our clan. Right now, our clan doesn't have any powerful Divine Inscriptionists. If we want to obtain a placing, we can only rely on Yan Tie's strength." Leng Ning's father continued to persuade.
"What a joke. Since there's no one powerful enough, so what if they get a spot? In the end, you're still reduced to a supporting role. When has it ever been the overlord forces that have benefited the most from the trial? When has it ever been the Leng Family's turn? What's even more laughable is that you're begging others for a few spots to enter. You're really shameless. "
Leng Ning's heart was filled with despair. Her heart had already turned cold towards this clan. Fatty Fan Le was right, she should have left long ago. There was no hope at all.
"Leng Ning." At this moment, a voice abruptly drifted over, causing Leng Ning's expression to stiffen. After which, she recognized the owner of the voice. When she thought of that 'arrogant' fellow, the coldness in her eyes vanished as a smile appeared on her face. She then sprinted out of the courtyard.
"What are you doing?" the cold father shouted.
"It's none of your business." How could Leng Ning care? Behind her, Little Rascal's speed wasn't any slower than hers, as it sprinted towards the exit of the Leng Residence.
Qin Wentian was extremely depressed. After he arrived at the Leng Residence, the guards actually didn't allow him to enter. Although he had stayed here for a period of time, the guards should know that he was Leng Ning's friend, yet they still didn't allow him to enter. This caused Qin Wentian to feel that Leng Ning's situation wasn't too good.
A white silhouette leapt into his embrace. Qin Wentian gently stroked Little Rascal's head as he smiled, "Did you miss me?"
"Yiyiyayi." A voice rang out in Qin Wentian's mind. Little Rascal's head kept burrowing deeper into his chest, causing Qin Wentian to smile.
An extremely haggard voice rang out in front of Qin Wentian. Upon seeing Qin Wentian, she tidied up her messy hair as she smiled sweetly at Qin Wentian. "I thought you would never be able to come out from the land of gentleness. Haven't you been living a wonderful life recently?"
"It's been alright." Qin Wentian lightly nodded his head, as carefree as ever. This caused Leng Ning to roll her eyes at him, completely convinced. He actually had the cheek to nod his head and admit it? Actually, Qin Wentian was only thinking that he had made great progress in the Dao of Divine Inscriptions during this period of time. How could it not be wonderful?
"You haven't been living well?" Qin Wentian felt some guilt in his heart as he stared at Leng Ning's haggard appearance. He had been so busy studying Divine Inscriptions that he had completely forgotten about Leng Ning.
"It's alright, it's just that I'm not used to having you by my side to talk big," Leng Ning joked.
Qin Wentian shifted his gaze slightly, glancing behind Leng Ning, only to see her father walking out together with Leng Lin and that young man from the Leng Clan. Their countenances were all extremely unsightly, and this made Qin Wentian understand that Leng Ning was forcing herself to smile.
"Hehe, I didn't think you would still dare to appear." Leng Ning's father coldly laughed upon seeing Qin Wentian. Yan Tie's anger was probably because of the rumors that this young man in front of him had an ambiguous relationship with his daughter.
Qin Wentian felt somewhat depressed. Why didn't he dare to appear?
"Sister, is it because of him that you are unwilling to marry into the Yan Clan?" Leng Lin walked up with a smile, "After offending Yan Tie, you still dare to come out after hiding for so long?"
After hearing these words, Qin Wentian understood. Yan Tie must be the old demon Leng Ning had told him about back then.
As for why he had offended Yan Tie, Yan Kong definitely had something to do with it. Since Yan Kong couldn't find Qin Wentian for revenge, he decided to look for his uncle to deal with Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian didn't look at Leng Lin. This woman was so young, yet she was already so arrogant. Most probably, it had something to do with the environment she grew up in.
"What do you think?" Qin Wentian asked Leng Ning, completely ignoring Leng Lin. This caused Leng Lin to furrow her brows. This man was truly arrogant, even in front of her house, he still dared to be so arrogant.
Leng Ning's beautiful eyes stared at Qin Wentian. Although there was a trace of desire in her heart, the Yan Clan was too powerful. Yan Tie was also an extremely difficult character to deal with. Although Qin Wentian was a third-ranked Grandmaster, how could he be compared to Yan Tie? She also didn't want to drag Qin Wentian down with her. This had nothing to do with Qin Wentian.
"He and Bailu Yi should be a match made in heaven." Leng Ning mused. After which, she inclined her head and smiled at Qin Wentian, "You and Fan Le should move out. My place is too messy, it's not suitable for you to continue living here."
"Hehe, sister, you're more sensible." Leng Lin laughed. It seemed like Leng Ning also knew that Yan Tie wasn't someone she could afford to antagonize. She was prepared to sever all ties with him. No matter how unwilling she was, she would still have to marry into the Yan Clan. If Leng Ning didn't go, she would be in danger.
"This lass." Qin Wentian couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw how Leng Ning was avoiding his gaze. This lass that he had met for the first time wasn't only straightforward, but her heart was also very kind.
"Third-ranked Grandmaster?" Qin Wentian murmured in his heart. After which, he stepped forward and held onto Leng Ning's hand, causing her to tremble slightly. Her beautiful eyes stared unblinkingly at Qin Wentian.
Only to see Qin Wentian flashing a radiant smile as he spoke in a low voice, "Things aren't as complicated as you think."
After which, Qin Wentian shifted his gaze onto Leng Ning's father, "Leng Ning is my girlfriend. If Yan Tie wants her, just tell him to come look for me."
After leaving behind this sentence, Qin Wentian couldn't be bothered with his father anymore. Such a father was truly disappointing. Holding onto Leng Ning's hand, Qin Wentian walked towards the Leng Clan.
Leng Ning's beautiful eyes shone with a radiant light as she stared at Qin Wentian. Her heart pounded madly.
This fellow was still so fond of talking big. How good at acting, it was as though he didn't care about anything at all.
However, she felt that the 'arrogant' Qin Wentian was actually so adorable.
"If I can really become his girlfriend, it wouldn't be too bad either." Leng Ning mused in her heart. After which, she felt a burning sensation on her face. It seemed like she had gone crazy, to actually have such thoughts.
Fatty Fan Le, who had tagged along, couldn't help but wipe away his tears when he saw Leng Ning obediently holding onto Qin Wentian's hand. Wasn't this guy a little too arrogant? Did he think the Leng Clan was his home?
Leng Ning's father and Leng Lin were dumbfounded by Qin Wentian's words. Wasn't this fellow a little too arrogant? Did he think the Leng Clan was his home?
If Yan Tie wanted Leng Ning, he could just look for him. Would he be able to bear the responsibility?
"Oi, are you still not going to let go?" After returning to the courtyard, Leng Ning rolled her eyes at Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian loosened his grip as he rubbed his nose.
"Hmph, you are so direct. Why didn't you ask if I agreed or not?" Leng Ning said with disdain. However, there wasn't the slightest hint of anger on her face. Evidently, she was just joking. If Qin Wentian really wanted her to be his girlfriend, Leng Ning would definitely agree.
"Why don't you reject me?" Qin Wentian stared at Leng Ning.
"You …" Leng Ning was completely speechless when she saw the expression on Qin Wentian's face. Didn't this bastard know how to have tender and protective feelings for the fairer sex? He should at least give her some face as a woman.
Too much of a bastard, too arrogant. Leng Ning gritted her teeth in hatred.
"Fine, I'll just take it that I'm taking advantage of you. After this matter is settled, you can just dump me." Qin Wentian knew that Leng Ning was after all a young lady. He couldn't possibly allow Leng Ning to take the initiative and ask him to pretend to be her boyfriend, right? To a young lady like her, this was indeed a little too difficult.
"That's more like it." Leng Ning smiled in satisfaction.
"Oh right, Leng Ning, I remember you said that the clan originally chose Leng Lin. If that's the case, then things are simple. Since your clan can change people, then you can also change back." Qin Wentian shrugged his shoulders. Thinking back to Leng Lin's harsh words, he felt somewhat unhappy. If she continued to harass him, then things would get interesting!
Leng Ning's beautiful eyes flickered when she heard Qin Wentian's words. She looked at Qin Wentian and laughed, "You are too bad."
However, this idea seemed to be quite good!
