AST: Chapter 588! (2/2)
“Has Luan Luan asked you about those things yet?”
“No!”
“Hmm, you’re sure she doesn’t have the slightest clue about her origin? Do you plan to tell her in the future?” As Qing Shui noticed, Luan Luan was slowly getting older and older, he felt a bit clueless on what to do about some things.
“I don’t know, do you think we should tell her?” Yiye Jiange asked Qing Shui back the same question.
“If we really want Luan Luan to return to her own family, naturally we would need to tell her. If we only want Luan Luan to be happy, I don’t think there is a need to do so. This would traumatize her.” Qing Shui didn’t explain clearly what he meant. Despite that, he felt that Yiye Jiange who was sitting opposite him could clearly understand his meaning because she also knew how it felt to be lonely.
“If Martial Brother is still alive, he would also hope for that little brat to live her life happily. As for returning to her clan, these are all not important. If you don’t mind, Luan Luan can forever be your daughter.” Yiye Jiange looked at Qing Shui,
“She is always my daughter. Even if she was to return to her clan in the future, I will continue to see her as my own.” Qing Shui said seriously.
“The luckiest thing that happened to Luan Luan was meeting you.”
……
The day went on really peacefully. Qing Shui knew that he was going to leave sooner or later, hence he left all of his other time to his clan members. Even more so for the two little children.
After two months, there were once again people coming up to the Qing Clan. There were around ten of them. Each and every one of them were old men around their sixties with brows and hair white as snow. The flying beast which they rode was a Three-headed Bird.
When he felt the tremendous aura, he knew that the people he had been anticipating had finally shown up. On the contrary of what one might think, instead of feeling nervous, he was really happy. After all, Qing Shui felt that it was about time he settled everything regarding the Residence of the Sky Tyrant Lord.
He raised up his head and looked at the ten enormous Three-headed Birds. Each and every one of them was around thirty meters big. The head of a bird, neck of a snake and beautiful tri-color feathers, The Three-headed Birds looked really ruthless and fierce. They had two thick and sharp claws and a pair of strong wings.
Ten Three-headed bird, flying in the air and covering the sky, even the sun was covered by them!
“Grandpa Lin, you and Grandpa Luo should take the others and move away from this place.” Qing Shui informed Lin Zhanhan. He looked really serious when he said it because he was aware that this time, the Residence Sky Tyrant Lord came with the intention to settle things once and for all.
Qing Shui stepped up the air like he was stepping on stone stairs as he rose up into the sky. Frankly speaking, Qing Shui was also trying to delay the time as long as possible. That was why he patiently walked while measuring the strength of the ten old men who were waiting in the air.
The person taking the lead was a tall, sturdy and powerful old man. He was about half a head taller than the other old men present. Just from the look and the head of the old man, Qing Shui could already tell that he was the senior of the Sky Tyrant Lord.
The pressure that was released by ten Martial Saints was considerably heavy. Despite that, Qing Shui’s Nature Energy didn’t fear it in the least. Step by step, Qing Shui walked up to them. Simultaneously, he himself also found it hard to believe that he was actually doing that.
The Residence of the Sky Tyrant Lord was the weakest clan out of the Seven Stars. Even though that was the case, it could still easily bring out around ten Martial Saints at once.
Qing Shui could tell very clearly that the other nine elderly men at the back were weaker than the one at the most front. Nevertheless, Qing Shui was still quite impressed. He was aware that the Residence of the Sky Tyrant Lord had a Fourth grade Martial Saint warrior, but he never thought that there could easily be six of them behind the elderly man at the front.
“Erm, may I know if you have any business with Qing Clan?” Qing Shui only stopped when he was almost at the same level as them.
“To think that there would be such a monstrous person in Green Cloud Continent, it does make people feel really surprised. Qing Shui, let’s settle all the scores today. Oh, and, I’m someone from the Residence of the Sky Tyrant Lord. You should more or less know why we’re here?” The huge and powerful old man who took the lead spoke with a low muffled voice.
“Oh, Residence of the Sky Tyrant Lord, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I think I would have totally forgotten about you guys. I originally thought that you guys would come earlier.” Qing Shui smiled at the old man.
Looking as the young man in front was capable of maintaining a calm mind despite standing right in front of them, they all frowned. Logically, for someone capable of crippling Tian`Er, he would more or less have the strength of a peak Second grade Martial Saint. But even if he had been a Third grade Martial Saint, he shouldn’t be able to face them so calmly.
“You crippled my grandson… This incident has made the Residence of the Sky Tyrant Lord lose their face. Today, I came in hope that we can settle everything by reaching a mutual agreement. How do you feel about this?” It seemed like the old man wasn’t really affected by the fact that the Sky Tyrant Lord was crippled. All he cared about was the reputation of the Residence of the Sky Tyrant Lord.
“Solving it with a mutual agreement? Well why not, that’s what I was thinking too. So what kind of mutual agreement do you want?” Qing Shui asked the old man. The smile on his face turned even brighter.
“Your first option would be to first recover the strength of the people that you’ve hurt and swear your loyalty to the Residence of the Sky Tyrant Lord after that.” The old man said casually with his sight set on Qing Shui.
“Then what’s the second option?” Qing Shui asked while maintaining the same expression.
“You finish it yourself. Or you can also let us take your place to do it. But by doing it that way, we might accidentally injure the people from your clan.” The old man explained while keeping a calm expression.
“I’ll go with the third one!”
“There isn’t a third option.” The old man looked at Qing Shui.
“If I were to trap all of you here, will the Residence of the Sky Tyrant Lord be removed from the Seven Stars list?” Qing Shui looked at the old man seriously. The smiling expression on his face also disappeared.
They indeed were a family. Not only was the Sky Tyrant Lord like that, the old bastard who showed up now was just the same! It was a miracle that these kinds of people would still be alive in this world. People who enjoyed involving other innocent clan members and instilling terror in other people. Without enough strength, no one would want to pick a fight with people like these.
“Hahaha, if you can trap us here, not only will the Residence of the Sky Tyrant Lord be removed from the list of the Seven Stars, they will even disappear from the World of the Nine Continents. The question is that, do you feel that you can do it?” The old man started laughing loudly. He seemed as if he just heard the funniest joke in the world.
“I’m really curious how you guys from the Residence of the Sky Tyrant Lord managed to live up till now. I finally know why you guys from the Residence of the Sky Tyrant Lord want to unite yourself with Di Clan by marriage! It’s to make sure your old nest wouldn’t be annihilated while you people are away!” Qing Shui stared at the old man’s eyes as he spoke slowly.
For a moment, the old man seemed as if he felt nervous. It’s human nature to feel suspicious. Qing Shui was aware that he might be suspecting that Qing Shui had other helpers to help him lay hands on the Residence of the Sky Tyrant Lord. For example, Qianyu Clan, Nian Feng’s grandpa, maybe even Di Clan or some other clans from the Seven Stars Country which wanted to replace the Residence of the Sky Tyrant Lord.
“No matter what, you still have to die today! Don’t tell other people that I, Ba Donghe am bullying you. Across the World of the Nine Continents, incidents like the weak being consumed by the strong are fairly common. You should have known about such a law the moment you walked onto the path of martial arts. You are the first person that I met who dared to be so cocky despite not having anyone behind your back. To top it all off, you are someone from Green Cloud Continent.” A ruthless and persistent look slowly emerged from the old man’s face.
