AST 1503 - Battle in the skies of the Ice Ocean Domain (1/2)

Qing Shui also didn’t know mind reading, he didn’t know what others felt about him. He also didn’t believe that Ziche Sha would fall in love with him. If she fell in love so easily with others, she wouldn’t have been single for so many years.

Even for Lan Lingfeng, Qing Shui felt that it wouldn’t be so easy for him to woo Ziche Sha. After all, Lan Lingfeng has pursued this woman for so many years, if he had the ability to, she would long be his.

In his past life, Qing Shui already understood a logic. Humans and animals were different. If it was an object and one was fond of it, one could use any methods they could think of to obtain it. But things were different when it comes to love. If the woman isn’t in love with a man, no matter what methods were used and even if they eventually got together because of force, neither party would be happy. Since this was the case, why force things? Unless the woman was fond of the man too, only then should the man put in effort to woo her.

There were also people who said that men shouldn’t shrink back. You mustn’t cower just because the one you like don’t like you. You have to do all you can to get her, but the prerequisite is that she is neutral to you and you feel she might have a chance to fall for you.

There were simply too many different schools of thought.

Lan Lingfeng stayed in the Imperial Cuisine Hall and everyone now owns a pavilion that was situated in a courtyard. By moving in, Lan Lingfeng caused the topics of interest and conversation to increase a lot in the Imperial Cuisine Hall.

Lan Lingfeng was considered the number one young man of the Linhai City. By staying with the Imperial Cuisine Hall, it was evident that his relationship with Miraculous Doctor Qing was extremely good. But as to how good it is, nobody knows and they could only try and guess.

Next, the topic of the battle between Se Clan and Imperial Cuisine Hall came out. The Lan Clan in the Linhai City couldn’t be considered the strongest clan but they were for sure one of the top few. The Se Clan was a great clan as well and now that the relationship of Lan Lingfeng and Qing Shui is so good, it actually made the Se Clan to fall back into a state of passiveness.

Because, Lan Linfeng’s status in the Lan Clan was extremely high and his words held enough weight to sway decisions. Hence, this made the Se Clan afraid to act.

The time the Imperial Cuisine Hall existed in the Linhai City couldn’t be considered long. And now, all of a sudden the eldest miss of the Ziche Clan and even the number one young man of the Linhai City moved in. What could the Se Clan do?

The challenge letter has already been sent and the entire city knew of their arranged battle. If the Se Clan retreats now, their reputation would surely be tarnished. It was much more worse compared to them losing. If they pulled out now, it would indicate that they are cowards and had no honor, breaking their very own words.

The arranged battle has to continue for sure. It was just that they had no idea if the Ziche Clan and Lan Clan would interfere?

An old man of the Se Clan was in deep thoughts.

In fact, on the other hand, the people of the Hua Clan felt a little depressed. However although they failed to lure out the Lan Clan, the appearance of the Se Clan could be considered a gain. If they knew this would happen, they would have probably chosen to do nothing. Now, they found such a stronger helper for the Imperial Cuisine Hall but there’s still a chance that the Lan Clan wouldn’t act.

There was an unspoken rule in the continents. For this kind of arranged battles, no helpers could he sought out usually unless one party spoken of it right at the start.

Ziche Sha and Lan Lingfeng naturally knew about the arranged battle between the Se Clan and Imperial Cuisine Hall. They asked Qing Shui if he needed help because there was still some time and they could send some of their clan members over if Qing Shui needed.

Qing Shui shook his head, “It’s fine, I think I can handle them.”

Regardless of one on one battles or group fights, Qing Shui had no fear at all. He could stand alone against them. However, he was still filled with gratitude for the kind intentions of Lan Lingfeng and Ziche Sha.

Because for inheritors of Battle Gods, they could feel a kinship when they met with each other. Such a feeling was indescribable, it was just simply so marvellous.

Hence they treated each other like brothers immediately. This was something the battle god inheritances brought to them, something imprinted into their bones.

……

After a while, it’s already late morning. Today, the Ice Ocean Domain was flooded with people. This world has always been strength-oriented and upon knowing there are powerful experts going to meet here for an arranged battle, many people were soon drawn over.

The sun in the east rose high up in the skies, shooting down rays of golden light. The coldness in the air dissipated somewhat but that was only just a feeling. The atmosphere of the Linhai City has always been chilly. This place, was like an eternally frozen world.

Qing Shui and the rest all already stood at a remote location of the Ice Ocean Domain and there were many simple confusion formations set up in their surroundings. The people of the Se Clan arrived long ago as well. Although their numbers weren’t many, it was still more compared to the Imperial Cuisine Hall.

There would be no judge for such an arranged battle. All the terms have to be negotiated by the two parties themselves.

Time slowly passed, and when it’s approaching noon, an old man from the Se Clan appeared in the air.

“Look, someone from the Se Clan is already there. Why is there no movements from the people of the Imperial Cuisine Hall yet?”

“Do you all think the Imperial Cuisine Hall is stronger or the Se Clan is stronger?”

“Se Clan is a great clan, a skinny camel is also larger than a horse. If the Imperial Cuisine Hall only depended on Miraculous Doctor Qing, it would be very difficult for them to achieve victory.”

“How can the Miraculous Doctor Qing be so strong at such a young age? There’s most probably a large power behind his back.”

“Have you forgotten that there some some mystical inheritances and good fortune in the continents? Given how strong Miraculous Doctor Qing is, there’s no way he reached this level of strength by simply receiving normal training.”

“That’s true. I wonder if the Lan Clan and Ziche Clan would act?”

“I don’t think so, but who knows?”

……

Qing Shui’s silhouette flickered, soaring up into the air. With another flash, he appeared not far away from the old man as he stared in silence at him. Qing Shui’s appearance naturally caused a commotion among the spectators below.

“Miraculous Doctor Qing, we will support you!”

“Everyone wants to see a fair fight. The great clans mustn’t use underhanded methods or any tricks.”

“The Imperial Cuisine Hall is too high profile for their own good. The Se Clan best teach them a lesson. Some youngsters truly had no idea regarding the immensity of heavens and earth just because they have a little strength.”

“Which bastard said this? Come on out!”
