Inside the Clear Wind Inn, the Mustang sat by the window and enjoyed the booze alone.
Bai Qingsong's 50th birthday celebration would occur three days later. It was said that this time, the Bai Clan had sent invitations all over the country, and there would be many big shots coming from the royal capital of the Chu State. Customers around other tables start their discussions – most of them are here just for the bustle and excitement.
“En, that's what I heard, too. It seemed like this Bai Qingsong was using his daughter's breakthrough to improve his own position. But his daughter's talent was really too frightening, to think that he could condense the Astral Soul of the 3rd Heavenly Layer. His future potential cannot be underestimated. When he opened his second and third Astral Gates, he could condense at least two additional Astral Souls that were at least of the 3rd Heavenly Layer, or even higher. Such a talent, even in the Chu Country, was considered extremely important, akin to a great figure. "
"That's right! I had heard that the Bai Clan still wanted to cancel their engagement before, but this was something to be expected. That Qin Wentian of the Qin Clan was just a piece of trash, what status did he have, to be mentioned in the same breath as Autumn Snow? Anyone with half a brain would kick it. I also heard that the trashy young master was still wasting a lot of Yuan Meteor Stones Qin Clan. I really don't know why Qin Chuan still loves and appreciates this foster child so much. "
Many people silently shook their heads, as they were unable to understand the matter. At this moment, all the chatter instantly came to a halt, like a black shadow wearing a long dress was seen walking up the stairs of the inn. When the person in question appeared, everyone was enchanted by her beauty. Without a doubt, this was a woman from a prominent clan.
"The Fall Snow, the genius of the Bai Clan." Someone chanted a low voice. The Mustang, who was nearby, stole a glance at Bai Autumn Snow, and secretly agreed to it. This little girl was indeed not bad, with a high level of talent other than a beautiful face. No wonder the Ye Clan was interested in applying for an engagement with him.
After that, the Mustang continued to enjoy his liquor and distract him. His gaze faced towards the Bai Clan as he pondered to himself, "Klan Bai was previously expelled from the royal capital, and now, it seems that their status will rise abruptly. Birthday celebrations a few days later will certainly cause the atmosphere to be very lively. "
"Huh?" At this moment, the Mustang froze. Due to the special characteristics of the Astral Soul that it solidified, its sense ability was extremely sensitive to Astral Energy. In that case, he could somewhat sense that there was a large amount of tyrannical Astral Energy descending from the heavens, focusing on a location somewhere near the Bai Clan.
With a hint of intent, both eyes of the Mustang underwent a transformation. The faint shadow of the orbiting constellation appeared in the pupils of his eyes, giving the impression that he was able to see everything.
"Hu ..." Mustang's heart trembled slightly. Based on the fluctuations of the Astral Energy he felt, it was highly likely that it came from the higher layers of the 3rd Heaven Layer. Are there still other hidden talents in the Bai Clan? But why would they just spread the news about the Snowfall?
Mustang was puzzled by the actions of the Bai Clan, "It looks like I have to make a personal trip to the Bai Clan tonight."
Qin Wentian did not know the existence of the Mustang, he was only concerned with increasing his cultivation level. Using the Tempered Thousand Hammer Refinement Technique, he endlessly endured the pain to repair his body, and finally, after suffering from excruciating pain, the voice of "Ka Cha" it sounded from Qin Wentian's body as his body underwent another transformation. A warm smile appeared on Qin Wentian's face – he knew that he had just broken through to the 4th level of the Refinement Body Realm! The three initial levels of the Body Refinement Realm referred to the refinement of his flesh and muscles, while the three middle levels referred to the refinement of the energy and bone channels, and finally, to the end, the last three levels refer to the refinement of one's internal organs.
By the time he finished his cultivation practice, the night had already arrived. Countless thoughts surfaced in his mind as Qin Wentian left the training ground and walked towards the front yard. Qin Wentian believed that, if he were to tell the truth to Bai Qingsong, based on his current achievements, Bai Qingsong would immediately change his mind about the annulment of the marriage engagement. However, he did not want to appear so cheap and inferior. Some things, Qin Wentian believed, were enough to see a person's true color. The only thing he wanted to know right now, was the attitude of Snow Autumn. During these three years since they had known each other, he had come to believe that he would also care about her.
"Three days later, at Bai Qingsong's birthday celebration, I had to ask her personally." Qin Wentian quietly said in his heart. After which, he walked towards the exit, only to see the two guards still standing there, blocking his way. Since everyone knew that Qin Wentian was born with broken meridians, Bai Qingsong did not have the tendency to waste more labor. Placing the two armed guards here already thought highly of Qin Wentian.
When the guards saw Qin Wentian's approach, one of them stood in his way, blocking his path as the guard angrily declared, "Fuck."
"Oh, looks like the dogs have learned how to bite." Qin Wentian's face turned cold. The words spoken by Qin Wentian caused the guard to freeze for a moment as shock covered his face. Immediately after, the guard glanced menacingly as a cruel smile appeared on his face, "It seems that our Young Master Qin is too used to living weightlessly, and has forgotten his current position. Since this is the case, let me WAKE you up! ”
Raging in anger, the guard raised his fist as he rushed forward, aiming for the critical area of Qin Wentian's head territory. The movement of the airflow, caused by the guard's fist attack, was extremely arrogant.
Qin Wentian's speed and reaction senses were extremely sharp. To the current him, who had already stepped into the ranks of a Stellar Martial Cultivator, his opponent's attack speed was so slow that it seemed laughable. Qin Wentian easily shifted his body to the side, dodging the attack, while advancing at the same time, leaping, and explosively using his knees to slam into his opponent's chest. At that moment, "Boom!", the organs within the guard were destroyed when the impact sent him flying, as he fell to the ground, deep in the distance, dead.
"What?" The remaining guards stared in shock for a moment, before he recovered. Shrugging with disdain as the guard thought, “How weak is he? It was unexpected that he was caught unexpectedly easily by the attack from the trash. ”With a cold glint in his eyes, the remaining guards gathered his strength as he attacked. Each of his punches pierced the air with an angry roar similar to a tiger. This is .. Basic fist technique, Ferocious Tiger Fist!
This time, Qin Wentian did not choose to dodge. His fist, which was similar to a steel hammer, clashed directly with his opponent. "Ka Cha!" The sound of broken bones sounded. Except, that broken fist belonged to the guard, shattered before he even had time to scream in fear. Giving no chance for the guards to react, Qin Wentian's fist instantly landed on his opponent's head. However, at that moment, Qin Wentian pulled back his energy, only knocking on the unconscious guard instead of causing his head to explode.
After living here for three years, Qin Wentian was too familiar with the night patrol routine of the Bai Clan. He deliberately chose those secluded streets, dodging the night patrol, and after an hour, he finally arrived at the main gate of Residence Bai.
As his footsteps echoed as he walked towards the gate, Qin Wentian could not help feeling a little nervous. If, at this moment, he was captured by the Bai Clan, he knew that it was impossible for Bai Qingsong to let go so easily.
As luck would have it, just as Qin Wentian stepped out of the main gate, he heard footsteps approaching from in front of him. With no choice, he lowered his head lower so as to make himself as unremarkable as possible.
"You who? Why are you sneaking around. Tilt your head. ”A cold voice that was very familiar to him floated into his ear, causing his heart to tremble slightly. A trace of a small smile appeared on his face. Are the Gods playing him? To think that they would meet each other here.
Autumn Snow could not help but tremble a little as Qin Wentian tilted his head. Unknowingly, he retreated slightly backwards.
Time, paused for a moment, as the two of them looked at each other in silence. Qin Wentian from the start, had observed Bai Autumn Snow's expression. From a little panic, to a calm state. He smiled lightly, yet he felt disappointment in his heart. It was as if he could read what Bai Autumn Snow was thinking.
"I ... had no choice." Bai Autumn Snow explained. Without saying anything, Qin Wentian silently looked at him. Never in his imagination did he think that such a scenario would happen between them.
“How many years have you wasted in studying, with regard to the condensation of the Astral Soul, however, that is your limit. But what's the point there? you can only become a secondary player, helping others to condense their Astral Soul. From the beginning, you were destined to be lied to by me. ”
Bai's beautiful hair on Bai Autumn Snow danced in the wind, accentuating her beauty. However, Qin Wentian was now in no mood to admire him, as his heart grew cold hearing Bai Autumn Snow's words.
"So this is the reason why the Bai Clan returned my gratitude with hostility?"
Autumn Snow did not answer his question, and replied, "Ye WuQue, at the age of 13, has formed an innate relationship with the constellation of the 2nd Heavenly Layer, and condensed his first Astral Soul. At the age of 15, he stepped into the Arterial Circulation Realm, and opened the 2nd Astral Gate, forming an innate relationship with the constellation of the 3rd Heavenly Layer, condensing his 2nd Astral Soul. And now, at the age of 18, his cultivation was already at the 8th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm, with great hopes of stepping into the Yuanfu Realm before the age of 20. The distance between him and you, is incomparable to the distance between Heaven and Earth. How can you start comparing? "
Qin Wentian understood the meaning behind the words Autumn Snow. The candidate chosen for the marriage proposal this time, was most likely Ye WuQue.
"You can go. After all, no matter what happens, you did help me. I am not someone so cold and heartless, and will not make things difficult for you. Even if you don't die, there is no way you can affect the marriage between the Bai Clan and the Ye Clan. And in the future, both of us are destined to be people who have different worlds. ”After speaking, Autumn Snow lightly walked past Qin Wentian. At that moment, he could not help but sense how Snow Autumn had become unknown. Or maybe, this was who he really was at the beginning. He only blamed himself for not being able to see through his facade.
"The Snow of Autumn." Qin Wentian suddenly interrupted, causing the Autumn Snow to stop in his steps.
"Three years ago, your father Bai Qingsong was the one who initiated the marriage engagement with my Qin Clan. My adoptive father did not want to affect your future by agreeing, however, under Bai Qingsong's desperate insistence, he slowly agreed. ”
"In these three years, my foster father did all he could for your Bai Clan, providing cultivation resources, helping the Bai Clan in their efforts to rebuild themselves, he said, and never once had he been arrogant or arrogant, putting him into the Bai Clan. And for me, in turn, I have long regarded you all as my brothers. "
"Five days ago, I helped you in your Astral Soul condensation, and yet, your Bai Clan, actually wanted to kill me. Now that you say you're going to let me go and not make things difficult for me, this is just a joke. This is not you paying for the good you have, but rather sarcasm.
Every word Qin Wentian was filled with indifference as he slowly walked away, "But you were right, right from the start, you and I, were destined to be people who had different worlds."
