”Do you think threatening someone with something like this is how a gentleman should act?” Gong Qinyin asked resentfully.

”Heh, that's not a threat. It is merely an expression of my love to you.” Wen Jinnuo smiled and said confidently, ”In any case, your Gong Clan is intending to form a connection with our Wen Clan through marriage, right?”

”If that is the cost, I would rather give up on that thing. I will never compromise,” Gong Qinyin spat before standing up to leave.

”Leave and your name will be erased from the Cloud Margin Pavilion's list. Do you want to give it a try?” Wen Jinnuo sneered.

”You are pus.h.i.+ng it too far!” Gong Qinyin said furiously.

”Just be my woman already, Qinyin. Do you think that I'm actually not worthy of you? I am stronger than you, and my clan is stronger than yours. Become my woman, and we shall work together to become a powerful pair that everyone will be envious of. Won't that be a beautiful future?” Wen Jinnuo said longingly.

Gong Qinyin's expression kept s.h.i.+fting until she eventually said, ”You are worthy of me, but I am not worthy of you.”

She then left without saying anything else.

Wen Jinnuo blocked her path and said with a low voice, ”Are you giving up on the millennium earthcore fire? That is not a flame you can easily find. Without it, I'm afraid the old man of your clan will depart the mortal world very soon.”

Millennium earthcore fire! Although Wen Jinnuo was speaking in a low voice that was hardly audible to anyone else, Xiang Shaoyun was able to hear everything clearly with his gift of instincts.

A unique flame was exactly what he was looking for at the moment. He needed it to refine the Overlord Skyslaying Saber and smelt the heavenly eye stone to extract the heavenly eye liquid from within. When he heard about the millennium earthcore fire, he couldn't keep calm anymore.

The millennium earthcore fire was a unique flame that would only form after 1,000 years of existence. From the amount of time it required to form, one could imagine how powerful the flame was.

It was at this moment that Wen Hong arrived with some other people for Xiang Shaoyun. He came in a group of three, and even the Wen Clan leader was part of the group. When Wen Jinnuo, who was speaking with Gong Qinyin, saw them, he quickly stood up in excitement and greeted them deferentially. ”Greetings, father and the two elders.”

”What are you doing here instead of cultivating in the pavilion?” questioned the clan leader unhappily.

”Father, I've just returned from a training trip and met Qinyin by coincidence. We are having a meal here,” said Wen Jinnuo.

The clan leader glanced at Gong Qinyin. The latter quickly stepped forward and saluted him, ”Gong Qinyin of Gong Clan pays the Wen Clan leader her respects.”

”Haha, so it is a niece from the Gong Clan? It has been quite a while since I last saw you. Look at you all grown up and beautiful now. You have grown very well!” said the clan leader with a smile. He paused for a bit and continued, ”Alright, continue. We have business to attend.”

”Clan leader, there he is,” said Wen Hong as he pointed at Xiang Shaoyun.

The Wen Clan group then walked toward Xiang Shaoyun's table. Wen Jinnuo and Gong Qinyin were naturally not qualified to go with them. When they looked over, they were astonished to find that the clan leader actually had business with the people who were previously seated near them.

”Mister, this is our clan leader. He will be personally handling the negotiation. May we move to a private room now?” Wen Hong said in a friendly manner.
