"Are we going to ride a flying magical beast? I've never ridden a flying magical beast before." Ming Dong became rather excited as he looked at the four-legged flying magical beast. However, in the blink of an eye, he became slightly worried. He murmured, "I heard that flying magical beasts often go berserk and lose control. They're much wilder than magical beasts that run on land. What if they throw us down from the sky? Won't all of us fall to our deaths?"
Nearby, a young man in azure robes looked at Ming Dong in disdain. He sneered, "Hmph, you're afraid of death. Since you're afraid to ride one, then don't. No one's forcing you."
Ming Dong's face changed slightly when he heard that. He glared at the young man, but before he could say anything, the young man sneered again, "What?
Do you still want to lay your hands on me? Come on, hit me. " The young man's tone was rather arrogant. He did not take Jianchen seriously at all, and he directly ignored him as well.
The people in the surroundings watched on coldly. They had no intention of interfering.
Jianchen's face became rather ugly as well. Even he could not stand the young man's arrogance. However, just when he was about to teach the young man a lesson, there was a flash. The burly Qin Xiao suddenly appeared before the young man and slapped him viciously. He said angrily, "Tian Ling, how dare you insult my friend? Are you asking for a beating?"
Qin Xiao did not hold back. The young man fell to the ground from the slap, and the left side of his face immediately swelled up.
Qin Xiao didn't intend to let the youth named Tian Ling off so easily. He kicked Tian Ling's stomach, causing him to curl up. He said in a stern voice, "Tian Ling, weren't you very arrogant a moment ago? You even dared to insult my brother. Why aren't you scolding him now?"
Tian Ling glanced at Qin Xiao with some fear. He dared not say anything. Qin Xiao possessed a special status in the Tianqin clan. He received the care and concern of many older people, and he was the son of the patriarch. It could be said that no one in the younger generation dared to provoke him.
"Enough, Qin Xiao. No matter what, you and Tian Ling grew up together. How can you harm the harmony of your family for an outsider? Is an outsider more important than your brother and sister?" A middle-aged man walked over and glared at Qin Xiao. Afterwards, he glanced past Jianchen and Ming Dong, and an undetectable sliver of coldness flashed through his eyes.
"Uncle!" As soon as Tian Ling saw the middle-aged man, he crawled up from the ground as if he had found his savior. He hid behind the middle-aged man as he glared at Jian Chen and Ming Dong with eyes filled with fury and hatred like a wolf.
Qin Xiao was clearly afraid of the middle-aged man, but with his personality, he would not be afraid because of this. He said confidently, "Uncle Tianzhou, what are you saying? Jianchen and Ming Dong are my brothers. They're not outsiders. I heard the cause of the matter clearly. Tian Ling was just looking for trouble, offending my brother of his own accord. He brought all of this on himself, so who can he blame?"
The middle-aged man snorted coldly and stopped arguing with Qin Xiao. He glanced at Jianchen and Ming Dong coldly and said emotionlessly, "We will be leaving the Zhuya Kingdom on the clan's flying magical beast. Please return to where you came from." The middle-aged man did not hold back at all, directly telling Jianchen and Ming Dong to leave.
Jianchen and Ming Dong's expressions immediately became ugly when they heard that. The middle-aged man was clearly chasing them away as a host.
Jianchen and Ming Dong had already stayed with the Tianqin clan for over two months. There was less than half a month until the Mercenary Festival. If they did not pass through a Space Gate in such a short amount of time, they would not be able to make it to Mercenary City, which was several hundred thousand kilometers away.
The middle-aged man's words infuriated Qin Xiao. He suddenly strode forward and glared at the middle-aged man. He yelled out, "Uncle Tianzhou, what are you trying to say? Jianchen and Ming Dong have been invited by our Tianqin clan to come to Mercenary City with us. They are our esteemed guests. How can you treat our esteemed guests like this?"
"Esteemed guests!" The middle-aged man smiled disdainfully, "Are the two of them even worthy of being esteemed guests of our Tianqin clan? Nephew Qin Xiao, it's best if you don't bring those dubious people back in the future. Our Tianqin clan is the greatest clan in Walaurent City, not some small clan. How can we just let some random people in?"
Afterwards, the middle-aged man looked at Jianchen and Ming Dong, "If you know what's good for you, leave quickly.
This is not a place where the two of you can stay. "
"Uncle Tianzhou, since you say that my friends are dubious, are the three people behind you noble as well? According to what you said, aren't you still bringing a bunch of random people into my Tianqin clan?" Qin Xiao retorted rudely. If anyone else dared to talk back to him like that, he would have rushed up and beaten them up long ago. However, the middle-aged man before him was not someone he could deal with, so he could only hold back his anger.
The middle-aged man's face sank, "Hmph, the three brothers behind me are the pillars of my mercenary group. They've been with me for over twenty years, and they've gone through many life-or-death situations with me. They've climbed out of piles of corpses countless times with me. We've already become best friends. How can the people you casually bring back compare to them?" With that, the middle-aged man looked at Jianchen and Ming Dong and said with a deep voice, "You're actually still not leaving? Do you want me to make you leave by force?"
A few people in the surroundings watched this scene coldly. No one said anything. Jianchen had kept a very low profile in the Tianqin clan. Apart from Qin Xiao, he had no connections with anyone else.
Jianchen's face became rather sunken. He said disdainfully, "If the patriarch of the Tianqin clan wants me to leave, I definitely won't stay for a moment longer. But who are you? Can you represent the patriarch of the Tianqin clan? What right do you have to make me leave? "
"How dare you speak to me like that? You're looking to die!" The middle-aged man was furious. Saint Force surged in his right hand as a fiery-red machete quickly condensed. With the appearance of the machete, the surrounding temperature immediately began to climb.
"Stop!"
Just when the middle-aged man was about to attack Jianchen, a dignified voice rang out from afar. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a large group of people walk over from afar. The violet-robed person at the front was the patriarch of the Tianqin clan.
Seeing the patriarch of the Tianqin clan arrive, the middle-aged man slowly put away his Saint Weapon. He stared coldly at Jianchen like a venomous snake. "Hmph, I'll let you off today. Leave my Tianqin clan immediately."
Jianchen's gaze became slightly cold. A sliver of killing intent flashed through his eyes, but he soon sneered disdainfully. He already knew that the middle-aged man was an Earth Saint Master and possessed fire-attributed Saint Force. He possessed a natural advantage in terms of attack power, but Jianchen did not take him seriously at all.
Ming Dong, on the other hand, was furious. Clearly, he had been quite infuriated by the middle-aged man's words. Qin Xiao's expression was rather ugly as well.
After understanding the situation from Qin Xiao, the patriarch of the Tianqin clan's face immediately sank. He turned to the middle-aged man and said, "Tian Zhou, little brother Jianchen is an esteemed guest of our Tianqin clan. How can you be so rude?"
The middle-aged man called Tian Zhou snorted coldly in disdain. He glanced at Jian Chen and Ming Dong and said, "Big brother Qin, when did you learn from nephew Qin Xiao? Treating two juniors as esteemed guests? Think about how my Tianqin clan has a transcendent status in Walaurent City, and big brother Tian Ming is the city lord of Walaurent City. How can such an illustrious clan allow just anyone to enter? What's even more outrageous is that my Tianqin clan actually wants to bring these two people to Mercenary City through a Space Gate. Big brother Qin, don't you know the expensive price of using a Space Gate?"
"Shut up!" The patriarch of the Tianqin clan became extremely stern, "Tian Zhou, how can you say something like that? Looks like you've become more and more narrow-minded after all these years in the delivery business. Little brother Jianchen is an esteemed guest of my Tianqin clan. He should be treated as such. How can I allow you to sully him like that? Why don't you apologize to little brother Jianchen?" The patriarch of the Tianqin clan was furious.
"Hmph! Like father, like son. You want me to apologize to a junior? That's just wishful thinking." Tian Zhou was extremely arrogant, as if he was the supreme patriarch of the clan. He did not give any face to the patriarch of the Tianqin clan at all. With that, Tian Zhou leapt up and directly landed on the back of a flying magical beast, where he sat down. Afterwards, the three middle-aged men behind him also leapt onto the back of the same flying magical beast, closing their eyes to rest.
Seeing how arrogant Tian Zhou was, the patriarch of the Tianqin clan's expression became extremely ugly. His chest heaved violently. Clearly, he was quite angry as well.
Qin Xiao arrived before Jianchen and said softly, "This person is my uncle, Tian Zhou. He's from the Tian bloodline and has a very high status in the Tianqin clan, almost comparable to my father. He spends most of his time wandering the Tian Yuan Continent and only returned two days ago. It seems like he has a very bad opinion of you. You must be more careful in the future. He's an Earth Saint Master."
Jianchen nodded slightly and softly said, "I will be careful."
At this moment, an old man in black robes descended from the sky. In the end, he hovered ten meters above the ground. His indifferent gaze slowly swept past the people below.
"Greetings to the great elder!"
Everyone, including the patriarch of the Tianqin clan, bowed when they saw the old man. Even Zhou Tian on the flying magical beast immediately stood up and respectfully bowed to the old man.
"A Heaven Saint Master!" Jianchen's eyes suddenly narrowed when he saw the old man hovering in the air. The Tianqin clan actually had a peak expert like a Heaven Saint Master.
The old man indifferently glanced past the patriarch of the Tianqin clan and Zhou Tian before looking at Qin Xiao. He could not help but smile kindly. However, when his gaze landed on Jianchen, a gleam of light flashed through his eyes. A sliver of undetectable shock and disbelief appeared in the depths of his eyes, but it only lasted for a moment.
The old man gently sighed. His gaze immediately became rather complicated. There was regret, relief, and a sliver of anticipation. It was very difficult to understand.
"Tian Zhou, Qin Yisheng," the old man slowly said.
"What orders does the great elder have?" The patriarch of the Tianqin clan and Zhou Tian asked in unison.
"The two of you should be extremely clear about the first rule of the Tianqin clan. If the relationship between the two clans is fractured because of you, then just wait for the harshest punishment," the old man said emotionlessly. His voice was extremely calm, but even so, the patriarch of the Tianqin clan and Zhou Tian's hearts still trembled when they heard it.
"Don't worry, great elder. We will definitely abide by the rules of the ancestors. We will definitely properly protect the relationship between the two clans," the patriarch said.
Tian Zhou immediately bowed as well, "Tian Zhou will abide by the rules of the ancestors. We will definitely properly protect the relationship between the two clans."
"Yes!" The old man slowly nodded, "Is everyone here?"
"Great elder, everyone is here," the patriarch of the Tianqin clan said in a hurry.
"Then let's go."
…
Afterward, everyone leapt onto the backs of the magical beasts. Ten people sat on each magical beast, making it a total of forty people. Jianchen, Ming Dong, and Qin Xiao all sat on the same magical beast. They were surrounded by seven people, clearly protecting them.
