Talon thought that Mustang had come to the Qin Clan for the same reason as him, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pressure. He turned to Qin Yao and asked, "Yao`er, in your Qin Clan, which young man is engaged to Autumn Snow?"
"This …" Qin Yao's countenance turned ugly, as her beautiful eyes glanced at Qin Wentian, before replying, "Teacher, I'm afraid there are some unforeseen circumstances regarding this matter."
"What unforeseen circumstances?" Talon froze, as he asked.
Qin Yao glanced at Qin Chuan. She herself didn't know what was going on, but she didn't dare to lie to her teacher.
"Wentian, come over here." Qin Chuan spoke to Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian immediately walked over, only to hear Qin Chuan saying, "Brother Talon, Brother Mo, this is my son, Qin Wentian. He is the one engaged to Autumn Snow, but my son's situation is unique. Although he has exceptional talent, he is unable to cultivate. Can the two of you take a look and see if there are any solutions?"
"Big Brother, what kind of talent is that?" Qin He asked.
"Shut up. What do you mean by 'innate crippled meridians'? Wentian's meridians must have been damaged by some accident. Not only that, Wentian's perception towards the constellations is extremely strong." Qin Chuan shouted. This scene caused Mustang and Talon to narrow their eyes, as though they understood something. However, their thoughts were different.
"Let me take a look." Mustang and Talon spoke at the same time, as they each placed a hand on Qin Wentian's wrist.
"Crippled meridians." Talon's heart trembled, as his countenance turned unsightly. He retracted his hand and laughed, "Hehe, seems like I've wasted my time. As the saying goes, dragons and phoenixes are in harmony. Now, even a snake has thoughts of climbing up to the phoenix."
Qin Chuan's eyes narrowed, as his countenance turned cold. "Sir, don't you think the way you speak is a little inappropriate?"
"Huh?" When Talon heard that Qin Chuan had changed the way he addressed Qin Wentian, his countenance was filled with displeasure. The Qin Clan was despised by the current Emperor, and was declining day by day. Sooner or later, they would become history. If it weren't for Autumn Snow and Qin Yao, he would never have stepped into the Qin Clan. Who would have thought that Qin Chuan would be so rude to him because of Qin Wentian?
"Qin Chuan, it seems like you truly have the wishful thinking. The majestic Qin Clan has fallen to such a state. How laughable." Talon mocked.
"If you have nothing else to say, please go ahead." Qin Chuan stretched out his hand, ordering the guest to leave. This caused Qin Yao to be in a difficult position. "Teacher, my father's temper has always been impatient, please don't take offense."
"Qin Yao, your father really doesn't know what's good for him," Talon said coldly.
"Yao-er, in the future, you must not take this person as your master." Qin Chuan's voice was extremely domineering, causing Qin Yao's countenance to turn pale. As for Talon, he was infuriated, "Good, very good!"
Qin Wentian sighed in his heart as he stared at Qin Chuan's resolute countenance. He felt extremely guilty in his heart. For his sake, Qin Chuan had offended so many people. And now, he actually had a falling out with the teacher of his own daughter, Qin Yao, from the Royal Academy.
However, Mustang had a different thought in his mind. He stared at Qin Wentian, narrowing his eyes as he laughed, "Brother Qin, when did his meridians cripple?"
"It started when he was six years old." Qin Chuan replied, "After that, it got more and more serious, until all his meridians were crippled."
"Six years old." Mustang drew in a breath of cold air as he stared at Qin Wentian. After which, he released his grip, as his eyes flickered. If his conjecture was right, how much willpower did this young man have?
Thinking back to Talon's earlier performance, Mustang couldn't help but to snicker in his heart.
"Thump, thump, thump." The earth abruptly trembled as the sounds of horses galloping could be heard. The eyes of those from the Qin Clan froze, as their countenances turned cold. Who would dare to ride a horse into the Qin Clan?
Very quickly, they saw a group of knights clad in armor and wielding long spears galloping towards them. The person in the lead was clad in a black robe that fluttered in the wind. His eyes were as sharp as swords, and he exuded a sinister aura.
"Icehawk." Qin Chuan's eyes narrowed, he didn't expect that his Qin Clan would be so lively today. Icehawk was once the deputy general under his father's command. His personality was sinister and ruthless, and he had always been disliked by his father. In the end, he joined forces with the Qin Clan's mortal enemy, the Ye Clan, to suppress the Qin Clan.
"Young Master, long time no see." Icehawk's gaze was as sharp as an eagle's, as he stared at Qin Chuan.
"Icehawk, you actually dared to barge into the Qin Clan on horseback? Your guts are getting bigger and bigger." Qin Chuan's gaze was filled with unfriendliness, as cold as ice.
Icehawk didn't care about Qin Chuan's words. Currently, the Qin Clan was like the setting sun in the western mountains. His Majesty had personally allowed the various powers to suppress the Qin Clan, and as long as Qin Chuan's father, Qin Wu, was still alive, the Majesty would never be at ease. Hence, no matter who it was that wanted to trample on the Qin Clan, the Majesty would only pretend that he didn't know.
This was exactly what he wanted. "I came to the Qin Clan for two reasons. Firstly, to see if Old Master Qin is still alive. Secondly, to inform the Qin Clan that two days from now, the various powers of Chu will descend upon the Bai Clan. Autumn Snow will definitely enter either the Emperor Star Academy or the Royal Academy. At that time, when the two clans discuss the marriage, the Qin Clan has to be present, and don't hide here."
After speaking, Icehawk reined in his warhorse, and the sound of hooves thundered through the air as he galloped away. He turned his head back and smiled coldly at Qin Chuan. His eyes, which had been on the battlefield for so long, were as sharp as swords, able to penetrate the hearts of people.
The members of the Qin Clan stared at the departing silhouette. Qin Chuan's body trembled in anger. If Autumn Snow used the fact that she was accepted as a disciple of the Emperor Star Academy to break off the marriage, everyone would think that it was only natural. His Qin Clan, Qin Wentian, wasn't worthy. This was a humiliation to the Qin Clan, and a humiliation to Qin Wentian.
"The Bai Clan has gone too far." Qin Chuan had never expected that the Bai Clan would repay kindness with enmity. Two days from now, he had to go and take a look.
"So that's how it is." Talon coldly laughed. "Qin Chuan, just wait for your face to be slapped. Farewell."
After speaking, he mounted the gigantic eagle and soared into the skies. The gigantic eagle circled in the air for a moment, as it let out a mocking cry.
The entire Qin Clan was silent. Ever since the current Emperor suppressed the Qin Clan, the Qin Clan had been in decline. Yet, they still stood tall and proud, and had never suffered such humiliation before.
"Elder Brother." Qin He abruptly spoke, "You've seen the situation for yourself. The Bai Clan has obviously joined forces with the Ye Clan to deal with our Qin Clan. In addition to the prestige of a genius like Autumn Snow, if our Qin Clan were to head there two days from now, we would definitely lose all face."
"You mean to say that our Qin Clan will do as Icehawk said, and avoid the Qin Clan?" Qin Chuan coldly asked.
"All these years, Qin Wentian has used up a lot of resources and Yuan Meteor Stones. Although I have some complaints in my heart, I've never said a single word. However, this matter concerns the prestige of the Qin Clan. I suggest that we expel Qin Wentian from the Qin Clan. All these years, we've already done what we should have done." Qin He's voice was low, causing the atmosphere in the surroundings to be oppressive.
All these years, there were many people in the Qin Clan who had some complaints about Qin Wentian. Qin Chuan had doted on him too much, yet he was a cripple who couldn't cultivate. There was no way they could help him up.
"Third Brother, what do you think?" Qin Chuan asked another person, the third son of the Qin Clan, Qin Ye.
"Qin Wentian is more suited to the life of an ordinary person." Qin Ye replied in a low voice.
Qin Chuan was silent for a moment, before he swept his gaze across the crowd and slowly said, "In the past, our Ancestor received the kindness of the late Emperor, and fought on the battlefields for eighty years, sustaining severe injuries eighteen times. During the Ten Nations Alliance Conference, the late Emperor was trapped, and he rode alone for a thousand miles, carrying eight arrows on his body, yet he still managed to rescue the late Emperor. When he returned to the Qin Clan, he was already dead.
What a heroic spirit. "" And today, our Qin Clan has declined. Just because we suffered some humiliation, we want to expel the descendant of our Ancestor's benefactor from the Qin Clan. Such a move makes me blush with shame, and humiliates our Ancestor. Even in the underworld, we won't have the face to see our Ancestor's spirit. "
"The Qin Clan is here, and Qin Wentian is here … Two days later, gather all the soldiers of the Qin Clan and attack the Bai Clan. If there's anyone who still dares to suggest expelling Qin Wentian from the Qin Clan, I will personally execute them."
After speaking, Qin Chuan abruptly slammed his palm onto the chair beneath him. In an instant, a cracking sound rang out, as the chair shattered into pieces, and silence filled the air.
Qin Chuan's voice reverberated in the air, as he stood there with his back straight. The crowd stared at Qin Chuan, and it was as though they were looking at their ancestor.
"What kind of kindness did Qin Wentian's ancestor do to the Qin Clan, to actually make Qin Chuan act in such a manner." The hearts of the crowd trembled. They only knew that Qin Chuan accepted Qin Wentian as his foster son, and treated him in such a manner, all for the sake of repaying Qin Wentian's ancestor's kindness.
For the sake of this kindness, Qin Chuan was willing to sacrifice everything. This kind of spirit caused them to sigh in admiration, and yet, this iron-blooded loyalty caused them to feel deep veneration. Everyone stood there with their backs ramrod straight.
"Wentian, there's no need for you to bother with this matter. Just stay at home, foster father will seek justice for you." Qin Chuan's gaze softened as he stared at Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian sighed in his heart. He had shattered his meridians, causing his foster father to be worried. Initially, he wanted to tell his foster father the truth after he became a Stellar Martial Cultivator. But who would have thought that the actions of the Bai Clan would create such a huge storm, even affecting the Qin Clan.
He didn't know of his origins, as Uncle Black had never told him about it. He also didn't know what the relationship between his ancestors was. He only knew that the kindness Qin Chuan had shown him was something that he would never be able to repay in this lifetime.
Only to see Qin Wentian retreating from the spectator's stand, as he walked up to the arena. Kneeling on the ground, he stared at Qin Chuan as he stated, "This matter arose because of me, so I will settle it myself. There's no need to use any of the Qin Clan's strength. It doesn't matter if the Bai Clan humiliates me, but if it implicates the dignity of the Qin Clan, I will definitely not agree to it. I, Qin Wentian, will bear full responsibility for this matter."
"Father." Qin Wentian called out in a heavy voice, as he kowtowed, only to hear an echo.
Kneeling down, he thanked his father for his benevolence!
Qin Chuan slowly walked forward, as he helped Qin Wentian up. Both father and son exchanged glances, as smiles could be seen on their faces. This time around, Qin Wentian didn't call his foster father, but rather, called his father.
"I've always believed in you. One day, you will be able to do what others can't!" Qin Chuan's eyes shone with unwavering determination.
At the side, Mustang's eyes narrowed, as he smiled. Compared to Autumn Snow, he preferred this young man in front of him. His talent was outstanding, and his mental fortitude was strong enough. In time to come, he would definitely become someone great.
Two days later, the various major powers gathered at the Bai Clan, as the Qin Clan prepared to send their troops over. It seemed like there would be a good show to watch!
