AST 1619 - Defeat Old Ancestor Nalan with a Single Move, Nalan Ping (2/2)

The members of Qing Clan returned home happily, whereas every single person from the Nalan Clan seemed to be carrying huge stones that weighed 1,000 Jin on their backs. Each of them wore grim countenances and other than a minority of those from the third generation and most of the elders, everyone knew what this loss meant for them.

Nalan Clan had lost their status, and most people still had not realized that it wasn't just that status. Nalan Clan now faced the threat of being wiped out. It was because most of them didn't know how the old man's injuries were and thought that he would be fine after returning home and recuperate.

It was just a single move. Many people were still thinking how Qing Shui had defeated Nalan Xinghai in a single move. What kind of person was Nalan Xinghai? He was an expert who had killed the leader of the Phoenix Dance Amalgamation and caused them to be disbanded. For an expert like him to be defeated in a single move, if they didn't witness this for themselves, they wouldn't have believed that it was true.

The Nalan Clan had many people, but there was only one of them at Nalan Xinghai's level. As for the others who were also False God cultivators, they were a far cry from Nalan Xinghai. Yehuang Guwu alone would be able to deal with them. After all, her Tiger Form was a Paragon and even amongst Paragons, it was also quite a top-notch skill.

This was a Paragon that came from anomaly. Even Qing Shui had nothing to pick about it.

”How's Nalan Clan's Old Ancestor?” Yehuang Guwu asked Qing Shui. She was carrying her daughter while Hai Dongqing carried her son for her.

”With you around, no one else will be a threat to the Qing Clan now.” Qing Shui smiled and said. The answer was very clear.

Yehuang Guwu smiled, ”Very soon, even Nalan Clan's Old Ancestor would be thrown far away behind me.”

Qing Shui believed her. With Yehuang Guwu in the Qing Clan, Qing Shui felt assured. Although some of his wives weren't in the Qing Clan, with their own things to do, there were still a number of them who stayed in the Qing Clan.

Yuan Su had placed her attention on the Imperial Cuisine Hall. Her reputation as a female miraculous physician had surpassed even Qing Shui's. After all, Qing Shui didn't spend much time here. Canghai Mingyue, Mingyue Gelou, Huoyun Liu-Li and Zhu Qing set up their own trade associations and their businesses expanded. They primarily trade medicinal herbs and medicinal ingredients from demonic beasts. They then expanded to start up their cloth shop, dealing primarily with beast hide.

Hai Dongqing stayed alone in Qing Clan's backyard. Her cultivation had reached a crucial point and she was getting ready to go into seclusion at any moment.

After returning home, Qing Shui was overwhelmed with emotions. He didn't know if his women felt tired. Suddenly, he wanted to let them take suitable breaks to relax and enjoy life, not wanting them to be too suppressed.

”In the future, all of you can do what you want to do. Don't be forcing yourself to cultivate, especially if you face a bottleneck and can't progress any further.” When they were alone, Qing Shui said to the ladies, smiling.

The few ladies looked at Qing Shui, dumbfounded. Although what Qing Shui said made sense, he had emphasized that they shouldn't slack in their cultivation. Either you keep on forging ahead, or you'll end up falling behind. They must force themselves to cultivate and get into good conditions.

”Cultivation isn't all there is in life. There are many other things as well. If your cultivation continues to progress, then continue to spend some time cultivating every day, fully focusing without any distractions. If you arrive at an obstacle, then do some things that you like to do. It might be a lot better than if you were to keep cultivating.” Qing Shui said seriously.

Looking at Qing Shui's serious expression, they knew that he was serious. Yehuang Guwu smiled and said, ”That is what I'm doing now. If I wish to cultivate, I'll spend some time on it. If I don't, I'll either play with the kids or go and take a look at the trade association. It's good!”

In the afternoon, two people came to visit. Qing Shui was surprised by the guests. It was Nalan Ping and a plainly dressed married lady. The way the married lady walked was with a bit of a limp and she was a little old. However, she looked very amiable and was pleasant looking.

At that time, Qing Shui was playing with the few kids in the front courtyard. When he heard the sounds at the door and told them to come in, he realized that it was Nalan Ping and this lady. Very soon, he knew that this lady was Nalan Ping's mother.

”Why have you come to our Qing Clan?” Qing Shui asked curiously, wearing a faint smile on his face.

”The Qing Clan is kind and righteous. I hope to be able to find a place of protection. Mister, can you take us in?” Nalan Ping looked at Qing Shui and said calmly. Even when he was saying this, he still didn't give the feeling that he was beneath others.

Qing Shui was stunned. When they were at the arena earlier, he had a good impression of this young man and had even thought of imparting him with Taichi. With his talent, this young man would be able to go very far on the path of Taichi. However, it was just a passing thought. After all, he was a member of the Nalan Clan. Although Qing Shui knew that Nalan Ping wasn't well-treated by the Nalan Clan, there was still Nalan Clan's blood running in him.

However, to think that he came to ask to be taken in. Qing Shui wasn't sure if he was a wolf. In normal circumstances, people with such a character would not become a wolf. [1]

”Mister is afraid that I'll harm the members of Qing Clan?” Nalan Ping smiled and looked at Qing Shui.

Qing Shui almost lost his calm before a junior. He shook his head slightly, ”You're a filial son and you love your mother. If you're really thinking of doing that you won't bring your mother with you. moreover, I heard that you've never recognized yourself as a member of the Nalan Clan. Is that right?”

Nalan Ping smiled, ”Mister, you have excellent judgment. There are some things that I really don't want to say. Everything about the Nalan Clan is of no concern to me. I'm a person who doesn't seek fame and reputation. I only hope that my mother is safe. Moreover, I also wish to be by her side. Right now, this place is the quietest and safest. In this world, my mother is my only kin. Would Mister be able to help me with this?”

[1] Assume that it refers to the possibility of him being a wolf in sheep's clothing.
