Chapter 171 - Xiao Qingxue’s Pas (1/2)

t

After leaving the forty-third residence, Qin Nan returned to his residence, sat down with his legs crossed, and was just about to cultivate.

What happened just then was not important enough to affect his schedule.

In Qin Nan’s eyes, Ouyang Jun’s threatening was not as important as his cultivation.

Before Qin Nan could start cultivating, a guest arrived at his third residence, which turned out to be Gong Yang.

After his trip to the Martial Serendipity Pavilion, it had been half a month since Qin Nan had last met Gong Yang. Within this period, the aura emitted from Gong Yang’s body was now a lot stronger and more powerful, a clear indication that his cultivation base had improved.

“Qin Nan, you are quite the secretive one, how many trump cards do you really have? It’s even more difficult now to clearly understand you…” Gong Yang entered the residence while complaining.

Despite that, instead of an accusing expression, his face was filled with a pleased expression.

The reason being that, in Gong Yang’s heart, he had completely treated Qin Nan as his brother. Hence, he was incredibly joyful after seeing his good brother having a tenth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit.

A smile appeared on Qin Nan’s face as he said in a serious tone, “Brother Yang, not that I was trying to hide the truth from you, there was no difference between telling you or not. We’re still brothers either way.”

“HAHA, I like the sound of that!”

Gong Yang let out a few laughs, before he immediately straightened his face.

Qin Nan was aware of the change, and asked, “Brother Yang, what’s wrong?”

“It’s a big deal this time, make sure you are prepared for it!” Gong Yang glanced at Qin Nan and slowly said, “Just a moment ago, you had a clash with Ouyang Jun, right? Do you have any idea who he is?”

Qin Nan was slightly startled, he did not expect Gong Yang to be here because of Ouyang Jun.

“Brother Yang, you know my temper well. I only respect those who show me respect. I don’t really care what kind of background Ouyang Jun has.” Qin Nan shook his head calmly, with no sign of being intimidated.

“Sigh…”

Gong Yang let out a sigh and said with a wry smile, “I do know your temper, but things are more complicated than you think, as it involves some other aspects. First of all, Ouyang Jun is the son of the current Sect Leader of the Mystic Spirit Sect.”

Qin Nan’s eyes glistened, No wonder he is so smug, it’s because he is the Sect Leader’s son.

Gong Yang gave Qin Nan a glance before his tone turned serious, “Although he is the Sect Leader’s son, since you have been selected by Old Shan, and are also the disciple of Princess Miao Miao, commonsense-wise, in terms of background, you don’t need to be afraid of him. However, there is another serious problem.”

Gong Yang hesitated for a brief while before he continued, “There is an engagement between Ouyang Jun and Xiao Qingxue.”

“What? They are engaged with each other?”

Qin Nan’s face was filled with astonishment.

Knowing Ouyang Jun was not enough to attract his attention, but hearing there was an engagement between Ouyang Jun and Xiao Qingxue was enough for him to lose his ground.

Xiao Qingxue had always been kind to Qin Nan from the very beginning, hence she was regarded as a sister, a family member to him. Now after hearing that Ouyang Jun was engaged to her, there was no way he could remain calm.

Gong Yang continued to speak, “I once heard from an elder of the sect that Xiao Qingxue’s parents were elders of the Mystic Spirit Sect, but passed away in an unfortunate incident. The Sect Leader decided to adopt Xiao Qingxue as his daughter to repay the kindness of her parents toward the Mystic Spirit Sect. As Xiao Qingxue and Ouyang Jun grew older, the Sect Leader then suggested them to have an engagement, and the marriage will take place after Ouyang Jun has reached the Martial Emperor Realm.”

After saying this, Gong Yang’s eyes emitted a murderous aura and said, “I bet you still remember that before you guys headed to the Martial Serendipity Pavilion, Mo Qing suddenly attacked you?”

“Was it under Ouyang Jun’s command?”

Qin Nan immersed in his thoughts, and the doubts he had in mind were instantly resolved.

Previously, after the Outer Domain Trial ended, the entire Mystic Spirit Sect knew that Qin Nan possessed a formidable background, and was relatively close with the Great Elder. Under such circumstances, Mo Qing, a mere third elder of the inner disciples, dared to hurt Qin Nan in public. It was obvious that someone was supporting him behind the scene.

That person, turned out to be Ouyang Jun.

The reason why Ouyang Jun did so was quite obvious, as Qin Nan was quite close with Xiao Qingxue ever since he had arrived at the Mystic Spirit Sect.

“What a good person this Ouyang Jun is, there’s nothing extraordinary between me and Qingxue. She was taking good care of me due to her admiration of my talent, but he was so jealous that he supported Mo Qing to trouble me!” Qin Nan’s eyes flickered with an icy aura.
