Leng Ning's father and Leng Lin had no intentions of letting Leng Ning off. As long as she didn't return to the Yan Clan, Leng Ning's father would have to endure the pressure of the Yan Clan. Because of his low cultivation base, Leng Ning's status in the clan was extremely low. This was the reason why the Yan Clan dared to marry Leng Ning to Yan Tie.
Strength determined one's status; status determined one's treatment.
As for Leng Lin, even if Leng Ning didn't leave, she wouldn't be able to rest easy. After all, before Leng Ning, the Yan Clan had already chosen her.
A smile that was not a smile involuntarily appeared on Leng Ning's face when she saw Leng Lin and the rest walking over. Although in her mind, Qin Wentian was someone who liked to talk big, she felt a sense of security whenever she was beside him. Maybe it was because of his innate self-confidence that gave her a sense of security. He was always as carefree as the clouds and the wind, as though nothing in the world could affect him.
However, if you angered him, he would make you tremble in fear, making you regret it. Just like Yan Kong.
"What a lovely couple." Leng Lin's strange voice rang out again. She smiled, "Leng Ning, you better think this through carefully. When the time comes, not only will you have to bear the wrath of Senior Yan Tie, your little lover will be in a miserable state as well."
"Does this have anything to do with you?" Leng Lin questioned, causing Leng Lin to be stunned. This lass seemed to have become unyielding.
"Of course it has something to do with me. After all, I'm doing this for your happiness. Being able to marry someone like Senior Yan Tie is my good fortune." Leng Lin narrowed her eyes, giving off a crafty feeling.
"Are you sure that marrying Yan Tie is a good fortune?" Qin Wentian stared at Leng Lin as he seriously asked.
Leng Lin furrowed her brows, "Of course."
"If that's the case, then I can be at ease. I was still worried that you might feel wronged, but since you said that marrying Yan Tie is a good fortune, we will wholeheartedly give you our blessings." Qin Wentian laughed, causing Leng Lin's eyes to flash with a cold light. "I'm not the one getting married, she's the one getting married."
"I don't have the fortune to enjoy it, I'll leave it to you, sister." After Qin Wentian's reminder, Leng Ning finally understood why Leng Lin had been forcing her to go to the Yan Family as soon as possible. It was all for her own peace of mind.
The young man beside Leng Lin furrowed his brows as a baleful aura flickered in his eyes. Qin Wentian and Leng Lin's attitude made him extremely unhappy. Wanting his woman to marry him? Was this an insult to him?
"Do you know the meaning of 'a loose tongue causes trouble'?" The young man glanced at Qin Wentian, and the corners of his lips curled up in a cold manner.
Qin Wentian glanced at the young man before shifting his gaze away. "Since she herself said that marrying Yan Tie is a blessing, let's get the Leng Clan to choose a new candidate. I think she is more suitable. Can you all leave now?"
"Hehe." Leng Lin laughed coldly as she leaned on the arm of the young man. What an arrogant fellow.
The cold smile on the young man's face deepened. After which, he held onto Leng Lin's hand as he turned and walked away. "Remember your words, I will pass on this message to the Leng Clan."
Walking to the entrance of the courtyard, the young man continuously stepped out. Abruptly, lines of Astral Inscriptions appeared on the ground, twisting and turning into the shape of a long spear. Abruptly, the young man turned, and with a single step, a terrifyingly sharp spear pierced through the air, aiming straight for Qin Wentian.
"Hu …" The countenance of Leng Lin's father was extremely ugly to behold. A peak-level 2nd-ranked Divine Inscription could actually be inscribed with such proficiency.
With a wave of his hand, Qin Wentian blocked the long spear. A peak-level 2nd-ranked Divine Inscription only had the might of a peak-level Arterial Circulation Divine Inscription.
Third-ranked Divine Inscriptions corresponded to the Yuanfu Realm.
"Do you know the grade of this Divine Inscription?" The young man flicked his sleeves, exuding an incomparably arrogance. Leng Lin stared at Qin Wentian as she laughed. Being able to inscribe a peak-level 2nd-ranked Divine Inscription at such a young age, his talent was definitely extraordinary. In the future, he would definitely become a third-ranked Divine Inscriptionist and be worshipped by the Clan.
After speaking, the young man turned around, intending to leave. However, at this moment, the sounds of footsteps rang out from behind him, causing him to furrow his brows. A sharp whistling sound rang out, breaking through the air and shooting towards him. The young man abruptly spun around and lifted his palms, unleashing an attack. A terrifying great roc whistled through the air as the sounds of collision rang out. The young man was forced to retreat repeatedly, and with a piercing sound, his robes were torn apart as a bloody wound appeared on his chest.
Finally slaying the Shadow of the Great Roc, the young man was in a sorry state. Inclining his head, he stared at Qin Wentian, only to see Qin Wentian calmly standing there. Beneath Qin Wentian's feet, the silhouette of a gigantic Great Roc appeared.
"What you inscribed, can it be called Divine Inscriptions?" Qin Wentian mocked as he stared at the sorry figure of the young man. However, at this moment, the countenance of the young man drastically changed as he stared at Qin Wentian in shock. How was this possible? How could he be able to inscribe third-ranked Divine Inscriptions?
He was extremely clear of his own attainments in the Dao of Divine Inscriptions. Not only that, the reason he came to the Leng Clan this time around wasn't because of Leng Lin, but rather, it was because he wanted to obtain a slot to enter that place.
Leng Lin's countenance abruptly turned pale as she stared numbly at the scene in front of her. Her body trembled involuntarily.
"It's over." Leng Lin stared at Qin Wentian with a smile that was not a smile in his eyes. Leng Ning, this lass, had found a third-ranked Divine Inscriptionist. How could the Leng Clan bear to allow Leng Ning to marry Yan Tie? This was no different from offending a third-ranked Divine Inscriptionist like Qin Wentian.
Back then, it was precisely because of the existence of her boyfriend that the Leng Clan had considered replacing her. But now … thinking of this, Leng Lin's entire body turned cold. Only now did she realize what the conversation between her and Qin Wentian earlier meant.
"Scram." Qin Wentian impolitely spat out a single word. The young man's countenance turned pale as he pulled Leng Lin's hand and left.
Leng Ning's father stood at the side in a daze, staring at the young man in front of him. Was this his daughter's girlfriend?
"Hu …" Drawing in a deep breath, a smile appeared on the face of Leng Ning's father. "Ning`er, you should know that I, your father, have my own difficulties. My status in the clan isn't high, I have no way to object to whatever the clan wants me to do."
"Can you leave now?" Leng Ning coldly asked her father.
Her father's voice faltered for a moment before he nodded to Qin Wentian and left.
"Hehe, status in the clan? Why don't you even dare to argue for it? The pressure the clan is giving you is nothing more than not providing you with any cultivation resources. Can't you just rely on yourself? How laughable." Leng Ning's eyes reddened as Qin Wentian patted her on the shoulder.
Slowly shifting her gaze over, Leng Ning contemplated Qin Wentian. Suddenly, a smile appeared on her face, as radiant as the sun.
"Thank you, it's so good to have you." Leng Ning's heart warmed. This feeling of being protected by someone, she had never felt it before.
"It's fine, who asked me to have tender, protective feelings for the fairer sex," Qin Wentian shrugged as he laughed, causing Leng Ning to roll her eyes at him. "Stop being so smug."
"Oh yes, since you revealed your talent as a third-ranked Divine Inscriptionist, the clan would definitely want you to represent the Leng Clan to participate in the exchange." Leng Ning suddenly recalled something as she spoke to Qin Wentian.
"Exchange." Qin Wentian mumbled in a low voice. Bailu Yi had also mentioned this before, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to agree to the Leng Clan's request. After all, he had already promised Bailu Yi that he would help her obtain first place.
"Mhm, the exchange in the Eastern Region of the Moon Continent is organized by the transcendent power, the Star-Seizing Manor. They will gather a group of Divine Inscriptionists to assist them in entering a secret realm, and the top three rankers will have the qualifications to bring a few people along with them. The first ranker will have ten slots, the second ranker will have eight slots, and the third ranker will have six slots."
"Not only in the Eastern Region, but the other regions of the Moon Continent will also be hosting an exchange to select participants to enter the secret realm with the transcendent powers. The Leng Clan wanted to grab hold of this opportunity, hence they wanted to ask Yan Tie for a few slots. Yan Tie is one of the most popular contenders in the Eastern Region," Leng Ning explained to Qin Wentian. Combining Bailu Yi's words, Qin Wentian gradually understood the situation.
So it turned out that the Leng Clan had sacrificed Leng Ning to Yan Tie for the sake of these slots. How cruel.
If it was only to give the Leng Clan a few slots, there wouldn't be much of a problem.
Over the next few days, members of the Leng Clan paid a visit to Qin Wentian, causing Leng Ning to deeply understand the fickleness of human nature.
"Wentian, that lass Leng Ning has always been obedient and beautiful since she was young. Now that she has found such a good husband like you, I'm truly at ease." Leng Ning's grandfather spoke in a heavy tone to Qin Wentian, with a smile on his face, as though he was truly a benevolent elder. However, Leng Ning told Qin Wentian that this grandfather of hers rarely saw her. He had many descendants, and among them, there was no lack of outstanding talent. Leng Ning could only stand by the side.
When the Leng Clan wanted Leng Ning to marry Yan Tie, her grandfather had also agreed. In his eyes, Leng Ning was nothing more than a tool.
"Mhm." Qin Wentian feigned civility as he nodded his head.
"As for the Yan Clan, I've already sent people to negotiate with them. You can rest assured." Leng Ning's grandfather had a wide smile on his face. However, at this moment, a person hurriedly walked over, causing Old Master Leng to furrow his brows. "What's going on?"
That person glanced at Qin Wentian and Leng Ning, but he didn't say anything.
"Wentian and Leng Ning are not outsiders, feel free to speak your mind." Old Master Leng commanded.
"Yes." That person nodded as he continued, "As for the Yan Clan, Yan Tie doesn't agree to the exchange. He said that he wants Leng Ning, and as for Qin Wentian, it's best that the Leng Clan doesn't get involved with him. If not, we'll meet again at the exchange."
Old Master Leng's countenance abruptly changed. That kind gaze of his suddenly turned sharp, flickering with uncertainty. It was unknown what he was thinking.
Was Yan Tie crazy? Their Leng Clan had already promised him many benefits, yet he actually didn't agree to the exchange?
"Is there no room for negotiation?" Old Master Leng coldly asked.
"Yan Tie's words were resolute and decisive. Not only that, he told the Leng Clan to send Leng Ning over as soon as possible. If not, we'll see what happens next. He even said … he told a certain someone to prepare to die." That person lowered his head, causing Old Master Leng's countenance to turn increasingly unsightly. These words were indeed Yan Tie's style. As for the certain someone, he was naturally referring to Qin Wentian.
If that was the case, between Yan Tie and Qin Wentian, one of them would definitely be offended.
Qin Wentian, a young third-ranked Grandmaster, had a bright future ahead of him.
Yan Tie, a mature and powerful third-ranked Grandmaster, would definitely surpass Qin Wentian. If they chose Qin Wentian, it would be equivalent to giving up on the exchange. Not only that, they still had to protect Qin Wentian, because Yan Tie wanted Qin Wentian's life.
"I'll take my leave first." Old Master Leng reluctantly bade farewell to Qin Wentian before he departed. Qin Wentian's eyes flickered. From the change in Old Master Leng's attitude, he was able to deduce some things. Also, that Yan Tie was truly too arrogant!
