The Ancient Godly Monarch
Chapter 02: Replying to Gratitude with Hostility

The morning air was very bright. Qin Wentian, after mediating all night, felt clear and fresh in shape. As a result of not absorbing Yuan Qi from Heaven and Earth, his body was relatively weak. Therefore, Qin Wentian would run every morning, using the oldest and most original body tempering technique method to strengthen his body. Everyone in the Bai Clan would see what he was doing on a daily basis, and although at first they felt that this type of training method was very strange, gradually, everyone got used to it.

With his meridians broken, it was impossible for the young in-laws to cultivate even the most basic forms of martial arts, he said, so it seemed like he was hoping to temper his body by using running as a method to break into the first level of the body refinement realm. This was just a fool's dream, and as a result, everyone in the Bai Clan hated Qin Wentian. If it wasn't for his wealth because he was the young master of the Qin Clan, Clan Leader Bai would have never chosen a non-grade Lord-in-law to marry Snowfall.

"i heard that the eldest miss broke through and became a Stellar Martial Cultivator last night, I wonder if the marriage engagement will still take place." A few voices, possessed by the Bai Clan's servants, were secretly discussing as they watched Qin Wentian conduct his regime.

"Yes, I heard it last night, the Clan Master gathered all the elders for an urgent meeting, to spread the news throughout the city. Rumor has it that the Eldest Snow Autumn Missus has managed to form an innate link with the constellation of the 3rd Heavenly Layer! Even among the Stellar Martial Cultivators, he could be considered a peak-level genius. "

"Yes, I agree. Humans naturally had an Astral Gate inside that could be used to store Astral Souls. However, if one had no talent, there was no way the Astral Soul would be condensed, yet, the Eldest Miss was already able to sense the constellations of the 3rd Layer of Heaven. In the future, when he broke through the level 9 of the Body Refinement Realm, and stepped into the Artery Circulation Realm, he was able to open another Astral Gate, which he had, that would then easily help him in summarizing his second Astral Soul. At the very least, it should also be condensed from the 3rd Layer of Heaven ... It was too frightening .. I dare not imagine what level of strength he would have if he opened even more Astral Gates … "

“Not only that, the Astral Soul that had condensed from the 3rd Heavenly Layer, contained an enormous energy when compared to the condensed Astral Soul of the 1st Heavenly Layer. It seems that the position of the trash will soon disappear. "

What these servants did not know was that their low voice was still being heard by Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian had mediated for many years, and thus his senses ability was extremely strong – far surpassed that of a normal human. He can even hear and distinguish minute variations in vocal tones. However, Qin Wentian did not put the gossip that these servants whispered in his heart. He had known Snowfall for three years, and interacted closely every day. The two had already reached a stage similar to kinship. Even if Autumn Snow did not love him, it did not matter, since the two clans they belonged to could resolve matters easily with some discussion. It didn't matter to him even if this marriage failed, as he had long since considered Autumn Snow as his own sister.

"Seven days from now will be the celebration of Uncle Bai's 50-year-old birthday, and I will condense my Astral Soul on the exact day of – which can also be considered as a gift to Uncle Bai."

Qin Wentian smiled as the scenario appeared in his mind; everyone thought that he could not cultivate because of his damaged meridians, which was all broken, however what they did not know was that his Black Uncle was the one who ordered him to cripple his own meridians! Qin Wentian had never questioned his Black Uncle's words, and by using the method that Black Uncle taught him, he had greatly aided Snow Autumn in her Astral Soul condensation. However, Uncle Black's personality was eccentric, and had strictly forbidden Qin Wentian to mention his existence in front of others.

Qin Wentian slowed down his pace, subconsciously, he had arrived at the courtyard where Bai Qingsong was staying.

"More." A voice floated closer, only for Bai Qingsong's silhouette to appear. He looked at her before asking, "Jogging again?"

"En." Qing Wentian nodded: "How is Autumn Snow, I want to visit her."

"Wentian, even if you can't cultivate, it doesn't matter. Don't be so hard on yourself. "Bai Qingsong did not answer Qin Wentian's question, giving Qin Wentian a moment of surprise, before he calmed himself down and replied:" I will work harder. "

"you don't have to force yourself, in fact, to be an ordinary human being, to form a family, and to live peacefully in peace, is a rather good choice as well." Bai Qingsong continued to say, causing Qin Wentian to freeze above the spot, after which, he glanced towards Bai Qingsong as he could not help but feel that he was talking to a stranger.

"okay." Qin Wentian forced a smile on his face before saying: "Uncle Bai, I'll go first."

"Okay, pay attention not to run around for a few days." Bai Qingsong lightly chanted, and after Qin Wentian left, he did not let Bai Qingsong or Autumn Snow meet for two days, either, while the news of Autumn Snow condensing Astral Souls was spread throughout Sky Harmony City.

When the third day arrived, it was already morning when Qin Wentian had finished his meditation. As he walked out, he realized that there were two guards blocking his way. At this moment, his heart sank and his expression turned cold before stating, "What do you mean by this?"

“Outside very chaotic. Young Master Qin should stay peacefully here for the next few days. "One of the guards interrupted coldly, as Qin Wentian's heart continued to sink. Previously, everyone in the Bai Clan would welcome him as the young master-in-law with respect, but now, this guard actually dared to use a cold tone of voice when talking to him.

What Qin Wentian noticed, was not the title of Young Master-in-law, but the attitude behind those words.

"What's going on?" Qing Wentian suddenly felt a chill in his bones. Ever since he had helped Autumn Snow in summarizing her Astral Soul, he felt that everything had gone awry.

"It is better for Young Master Qin to take care of your own affairs, and obediently remain inside your residence."

"How dare you." Qing Wentian lashed out: "i want to see Uncle Bai."

Just to see that one of the guards laughed out loud, looked at Qin Wentian before saying: "Rubbish, I will say it again, you better obediently stay in your residence. Do you really think that you are our Young Master-in-law? ”

Qin Wentian's heart had slumped to the bottom of the valley. He was not a fool, how could he not guess what happened? He was imprisoned now, and when he recalled the words that Uncle Bai had said to him a few nights before, he knew that the Bai Clan wanted to break this marriage engagement.

"Uncle Bai, if you want to cancel the marriage agreement, you can directly talk to me." Qin Wentian muttered in his heart, as he felt the tearing of his heart. Could it be that the interaction between him and the Bai Clan over the past three years was nothing but an act?

"SHUT MOUTH YOU." A denouncing voice rang out, and Qin Wentian turned to look at Bai Qing running towards him, before pulling him into his residence.

"Gege wentian." Bai Qing's eyes were both tinged red with tears as she looked at Qin Wentian: "Wentian gege, my Bai Clan has let you down."

"i don't understand." Qin Wentian asked: "Qing'er, I want to meet your father. If she is unwilling to continue the marriage, I can ask my foster father to discuss canceling the marriage engagement with her. I, Qin Wentian, am, you will not force someone to do things they do not want to do. "

"Wentian gege, my father .. The Bai clan .. They might want to kill you." Tears streamed down Bai Qing's face as her voice broke. His voice was similar to the rumbling of thunder that struck right in Qin Wentian's heart, causing him to be stunned. "Kill me?"

"Why?" Qin Wentian was confused, because he did not understand.

"Don't ask me why, Wentian gege, you better go fast." Bai Qing was crying. Qin Wentian pondered for a moment, before saying, "But I've been imprisoned, how am I going?"

"I've long prepared a quick horse for you in the backgate. You just need to hug me as a hostage and leave. ”Bai Qing took out a dagger and handed it to Qin Wentian, calling him closer.

"Master Clan." Outside the residence where Qin Wentian was imprisoned, a voice floated beside the sound of many footsteps, causing Bai Qing's face to turn pale with fear. "Wentian gege, hurry up."

"Qing'er, tell me why." Qin Wentian's eyes stared at Bai Qing firmly as he slowly said each word. Bai Qing hurriedly stated, "After big sister became a genius, that night, the news had already been disseminated throughout the Chu Country, and finally, the Ye Clan of the Royal City expressed their interest in the marriage engagement."

"The Ye Clan of the Royal City." The coldness of Qin Wentian's heart increased in intensity by a few more degrees. "They are my Qin Clan's sworn enemies, so, the Bai Clan wants to use my life to announce that they have completely severed all ties with my Qin Clan, he said, and use my death as an engagement gift to the Ye Clan of the royal City."

. Qin Wentian, no matter how weak I am, I still cannot bend so low to point a dagger at you. "

The door was pushed open, as Bai Qing's face instantly turned pale.

"Bai Qing, come here." Bai Qingsong coldly said.

“No, father, older sister only managed to condense her Astral Soul from the 3rd Heavenly Layer due to the help from Wentian gege! Why are we paying his gratitude with hostility ?! ”Bai Qing yells at his father.

"What do you know? Your sister's talent far surpasses your imagination! He condensed his Astral Soul from the 3rd Heavenly Layer solely on his own merits, through his own efforts. When does he need his help? '' Bai Qingsong said calmly as he looked at Bai Qing. He softened his tone, "Qing'er, you're young and can't understand, listen to dad, come back here."

"Qing'er, go." Qin Wentian gently smiled at Bai Qing, causing him to become stiff as he said, "Wentian gege."

"Remember what I've taught you." Qin Wentian ruffled the hair on Bai Qing's head, as he gently pushed Bai Qing towards Bai Qingsong. After which, he glanced at Bai Qingsong, before calmly saying, "Uncle Bai, what do you want to do with me?"

"Qin Wentian, not only are you heaven-born trash, your behavior is also questionable – to think that you have a design on my little daughter.You told me, how should I deal with you? "

The current Bai Qingsong felt like a stranger to Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian's only response was to laugh, as the last hope in his heart flickered. Looking at Bai Qingsong, he asked: "i just want to know, regarding this, what is the reaction of the Snow Autumn?"

"You don't need to know." Bai Qingsong coldly replied, as killing intent began to radiate from him.

"Today, if I die in the Bai Clan, no matter what the reason is, I dare to guarantee this. My foster father will definitely lead his troops and trample the Bai residence onto flat ground. "Qin Wentian suddenly declared, fearlessly in his eyes. At that moment, the face of Qin Wentian who had previously looked gentle, underwent a rapid transformation into an expression that showed steel-like determination.

"Uncle Bai, the Bai Clan still does not have the ability to fight against my Qin Clan, I urge you, you better not move against me."

Shocked at the point, Bai Qingsong looked at Qin Wentian in his eyes. Thinking that this gentle-looking young man still had a ferocious side to him. After pondering for some time, Bai Qingsong turned around and left. “Bring the second young man back to his room, and don't let him take a single step from there. And as for Qin Wentian, make sure he doesn't come out of the entrance of this courtyard. "
