The voice of the blue-robed young man caused the entire space to fall silent. Qin Wentian inclined his head as a smile appeared on his face. When he mentioned Ouyang Kuangsheng's name to Ouyang Ting, Ouyang Kuangsheng still wanted to kill him. At that time, he already knew that the relationship between the two of them wasn't very good. If not, Ouyang Ting wouldn't have acted so decisively.
Now that Ouyang Kuangsheng had appeared, his personality was the same as the last two times he met him.
Ouyang Ting, who was kneeling on the ground, lifted her head. There was still a trace of blood on her forehead, and her countenance was pale white. Staring at the descending figure, she coldly stated, "Ouyang Kuangsheng, the blood of the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan flows in my veins just like yours. Now that I'm being treated in such a manner by an outsider, you actually dare to spout such demented words? Are you even someone from the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan?"
The white-robed figure also stared at Ouyang Kuangsheng as he coldly stated, "Ouyang Kuangsheng, you've gone too far."
This white-robed young man was none other than a Heaven's Chosen from the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan, Duan Qingshan. Ever since he entered the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan, he relied on his tyrannical talent to climb up the ranks step by step. Eventually, he was conferred the surname Ouyang, and was accepted as a disciple by an expert of the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan.
Duan Qingshan was the target of many from the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan who didn't share the same surname as him.
Hence, Duan Qingshan courted Ouyang Ting, hoping to borrow her strength to fully integrate into the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan. In fact, he might even be able to fight for the position of successor in the future.
Because in Ouyang Ting's veins flowed the purest bloodline of the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan. Many in the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan thought highly of their union, especially those from Ouyang Ting's faction.
But at this moment, there was actually an outsider who dared to treat Ouyang Ting in such a manner in the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan. What made people even more speechless was that Ouyang Kuangsheng actually berated Ouyang Ting the moment he arrived.
This caused many to feel that this was too surreal. This was too crazy.
"The bloodline of my Ouyang Clan shouldn't have such a lowly person. As a descendant of the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan, if you win, it's your strength, but if you lose, you have to work hard. But if you lose, you have to break your opponent's arm. Furthermore, she was the one who found someone else to fight for her. Isn't this a humiliation to our Ouyang Aristocrat Clan? Could it be that you, Duan Qingshan, are proud of this?"
Ouyang Kuangsheng stared at Duan Qingshan as he coldly stated, "Duan Qingshan, don't forget how you climbed step by step to reach where you are today. If the members of the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan were the same as Ouyang Ting, how many arms do you have to break just because you defeated them? If our Ouyang Aristocrat Clan has such an attitude, who would still dare to join us? How can an aristocrat clan grow stronger? "
Duan Qingshan's expression turned ugly, but he didn't know how to refute.
There was no need for them to discuss who was in the right and who was in the wrong. They only needed to know that since Qin Wentian treated Ouyang Ting in such a manner, he deserved to die without a burial ground. There was no need to say anything else, and nobody dared to say anything. However, Ouyang Kuangsheng dared to do so, and he even used righteousness to suppress Qin Wentian.
Not only that, given Ouyang Kuangsheng's status, who would dare to say that his words were wrong?
He, Duan Qingshan, had climbed his way up step by step. Just like what Ouyang Kuangsheng had said, if the members of the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan were like Ouyang Ting, how could there be the Duan Qingshan of today?
From afar, the sound of a gust of wind whistled over. The commotion caused by the commotion grew louder and louder, and several elders of the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan also arrived.
"What's going on?" One of the elders asked, as he coldly swept his gaze over the crowd.
"Second Grandpa, Ouyang Ting challenged someone to a duel and was defeated. She wanted to sever the arm of her opponent, ruining the reputation of our Ouyang Aristocrat Clan. I suggest that we expel her from the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan." Ouyang Kuangsheng calmly stated.
"It's these people who were too impudent. Elder, you've seen it for yourself. They dared to treat Ting`er in such a manner, they deserve death." Duan Qingshan coldly stated.
"Ridiculous. Could it be that they want to obediently allow Ouyang Ting to sever their arm? Who do you think they are?" Ouyang Kuangsheng swept his gaze over to Duan Qingshan. "As long as you dare to say that they deserve to sever their arm, I, Ouyang Kuangsheng, will find an excuse to sever your arm."
"Ouyang Kuangsheng …" Duan Qingshan roared in rage. This Ouyang Kuangsheng actually didn't give him any face at all.
"These people, you dare to compare them to me?" Duan Qingshan's countenance turned ashen.
"Enough." That elder berated. After which, he shifted his gaze onto the people below as he asked in a Cold tone, "Who are these people? Who brought them here?"
Below, the young man facing Chu Mang was trembling in fear, his countenance as pale as paper. He had asked Qin Wentian and Fan Le to be Ouyang Ting's sparring partners. Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that such a thing would happen. At this moment, he only knew that he was in for it.
"Tell me the ins and outs of this matter clearly." The gaze of the second elder landed on him. Instantly, he felt a terrifying pressure bearing down on him.
"This matter concerns Ouyang Ting. You'd better tell me the truth." Duan Qingshan coldly stated. The words' tell the truth 'were like a gigantic mountain pressing down on his back. He was thinking, what should he say?
"Let me tell you this as well. The person you brought here is my brother, Qin Wentian. We fought side-by-side together a few years ago. If you dare to speak a single lie, you'd better think about the consequences."
Ouyang Kuangsheng pointed his finger at Qin Wentian as he spoke. That young man only felt his mind going blank, his countenance completely drained of blood.
The hearts of the spectators all trembled. No wonder Ouyang Kuangsheng had such a huge reaction, wanting to expel Ouyang Ting. Ouyang Kuangsheng was actually acquainted with the person who wanted to deal with Ouyang Ting.
"Plop!" The terrifying pressure caused the young man to directly kneel down. He didn't know what to say, his mind was in a state of chaos. He couldn't afford to offend either side.
Duan Qingshan, a Heaven's Chosen from the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan. Ouyang Kuangsheng dared to go against him and even threatened him. But as long as he said a single word, the consequences would be dire.
Ouyang Kuangsheng, a descendant of the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan. How could he dare to offend him?
Now, he couldn't even afford to offend Qin Wentian.
"Let me speak. You guys just need to ask if the two of them are true or not." Chu Mang stared at the crowd in the air, his expression indifferent.
"Fine, speak." The elder calmly replied.
"I'm good friends with Qin Wentian and the other two. We came out to roam the world together and coincidentally arrived at the Gazing-Dragon Mountain in Qiyun. The two of them, along with a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign, happened to be recruiting disciples in Qiyun …" Chu Mang recounted the events that transpired from the Gazing-Dragon Mountain. Upon hearing Chu Mang saying that his freedom was restricted and he couldn't even leave, and could only spar with Ouyang Ting, Ouyang Kuangsheng's countenance turned even colder.
"Is what he said true?" The elder stared at the young man and woman as he icily asked.
"Junior knows his mistake." The young man didn't dare to lift his head.
"I understand." The elder understood that Chu Mang's words couldn't be wrong. He then continued, "The two of you made things difficult for the newcomers, and even restricted their freedom. Although this was for Ouyang Ting's sake, I'm afraid that this is already a common occurrence in our Ouyang Aristocrat Clan. We need to reorganize ourselves, or our Ouyang Aristocrat Clan will soon decay. The two of you, sever one of your arms and leave the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan."
The countenances of the young man and woman paled, but they still nodded their heads. They were doing this to curry favor with Ouyang Ting, but with the pressure from Ouyang Kuangsheng, Ouyang Ting was already in trouble, let alone them. With a howl of rage, they forcefully severed their left arm and bowed to the figure in the air before leaving the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan.
A single wrong move had resulted in such a calamity.
"Release her first." The elder stared at Qin Wentian as he spoke. Qin Wentian nodded, releasing Ouyang Ting.
Ouyang Ting stood up, coldly staring at Qin Wentian. However, the elder spoke, "Ouyang Ting, it's fine for you to find someone to accompany you in the Tempering Grounds, as long as you and I are willing. Both of us are doing this for the sake of raising our strength, but you chose to use your status to bully others.
"Second Grandpa, he was the one who almost killed me," Ouyang Ting explained.
"You weren't injured, right?" The elder's eyes flashed with unhappiness. "Sparring, what's the point if you don't want others to touch you? Based on your temperament, how can you achieve anything?"
Ouyang Ting's countenance stiffened. "Ting`er knows her wrongs, I'll let second Grandpa punish me however you like. But how should I deal with these people who treated me like this?"
"Ouyang Ting, do you think they should let you sever your arm without resisting?" Ouyang Kuangsheng coldly replied. "Second Grandpa, back then I fought shoulder to shoulder with Qin Wentian in the Tempering Grounds of the Celestial Lake. His talent is definitely not below mine, and his future achievements will not be any lower than mine as well. This Ouyang Ting thinks that she has a high status, but she doesn't know that in the face of absolute strength, her status is nothing more than dog fart. Based on her temperament, second Grandpa should seriously consider my suggestion."
The elder's countenance was as calm as ever, yet he was pondering in his heart.
There was indeed a problem with Ouyang Ting's temperament. Qin Wentian's actions were audacious, but he had indeed caused Ouyang Ting to lose face. If it weren't for Ouyang Kuangsheng's appearance, he would definitely have stood on Ouyang Ting's side. There was no need to consider this.
However, Ouyang Kuangsheng had repeatedly mentioned his relationship with Qin Wentian. Hence, he couldn't help but to seriously consider this matter.
He could only punish Ouyang Ting lightly. If not, the reputation of both sides wouldn't be good.
"Ouyang Ting, your actions are impetuous, and your temperament isn't good. In the future, you should reflect on your actions. From now onwards, within the Ouyang Clan, you are not allowed to exercise any authority." The elder calmly stated. Ouyang Kuangsheng furrowed his brows, this punishment was equivalent to no punishment at all. It seemed like the elder wanted to minimize this matter.
"As for the three of you, you were forced to do so. I won't punish you."
The elder spoke to Qin Wentian and the rest, evidently wanting to resolve this matter.
"Won't punish me?" Ouyang Ting's countenance was incredibly ugly to behold. Qin Wentian had forced her to kneel in front of Fan Le, forcing her to kowtow. She really couldn't swallow this anger.
She, Ouyang Ting, was forced to kneel. In the future, how would she be able to raise her head high in the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan?
"Isn't this punishment for Ouyang Ting a little too light? Second Grandpa, if she doesn't change her mind in the future, what should we do?" Before Ouyang Ting could reply, Ouyang Kuangsheng coldly interjected, taking the initiative.
He also knew that it wasn't realistic to expel Ouyang Ting from the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan. An Aristocrat Clan was still an Aristocrat Clan, and Ouyang Ting was a descendant of the direct bloodline. Although she was rude today, the one who suffered the most humiliation was undoubtedly Ouyang Ting. On the contrary, Qin Wentian and the rest didn't suffer any losses.
However, Ouyang Kuangsheng had been so overbearing the moment he arrived, not giving Ouyang Ting the slightest chance to retaliate against Qin Wentian.
"If she continues to act like this, hand her over to the Enforcement Hall." The elder calmly stated, causing Ouyang Ting to feel a chill running down her spine.
Ouyang Kuangsheng nodded his head, "I'll remember this."
After speaking, he turned his gaze onto Qin Wentian and the rest as he laughed, "Since you came here, why didn't you look for me earlier? Let's go."
"Mhm." Qin Wentian smiled as he nodded his head, slowly walking out. He knew that the current situation was all because of Ouyang Kuangsheng's efforts. After all, he was an outsider, yet today, he had forced Ouyang Ting, a descendant of the direct bloodline, to kneel and kowtow to him!
