AST 1721 - Revealing the Shortcomings of the Watermoon Cavern Lord

Meanwhile, Qing Shui was also getting more and more curious. He had heard rumors saying that the person who wanted to marry Qing Hanye was the Cave Lord of Watermoon Cavern. Though the cavern lord himself might not be the strongest, there was no doubt that he would possess the mightiest force behind his back. In this world, everything was decided by strength. It would be impossible for him to take up such a position without possessing a worthwhile strength.

From the way things seemed, there was a high possibility that the Watermoon Cavern Lord had arrived.

While pondering over all of these, Qing Shui slowly walked beside Qing Hanye towards the main hall of Dragonwolf Palace. Along the way, he saw a lot of people greeting Qing Hanye.

Before he arrived at the main hall, Qing Shui could already feel a few powerful aurae oozing out of it. Other than the four guards from Dragonwolf Palace, there were four other guards that weren’t from the palace. They should be people from Watermoon Cavern.

“Palace Lord!”

Four guards from Dragonwolf Palace politely bowed before Qing Hanye. In response, Qing Hanye nodded her head. She then brought Qing Shui along to the main hall.

“Mister, please hold your step. The cavern lord has specifically told us that no one other than the Palace Lord was allowed in.” A guard from Watermoon Cavern came out and stopped Qing Shui. He seemed a bit arrogant and had a smile which looked as if he was taking joy in other people’s misfortune.

Qing Shui was stunned but quickly recovered after a few moments of thought. He figured that this was one of the scenarios that could happen. Since people from Watermoon Cavern had come, it just came to say that they understood the situations here quite well. They should have been made aware of his presence as well. Without the instruction from the cavern lord, it was unlikely that the guard would have the guts to do something like that. Not to mention that he had already emphasized before that the cavern lord informed him that other than Qing Hanye, no one was allowed inside the hall.

This was the Dragonwolf Palace, not the Watermoon Cavern. The things which Watermoon Cavern was doing now has indicated that they had always ignored the standing of the Dragonwolf Palace.

Peng!

Before Qing Shui could do anything, Qing Hanye had already landed her palm on the guard’s face. The guard immediately got blown to the side and spurted out fresh blood.

“This is the Dragonwolf Palace. You have no right to order around here.” Qing Hanye shot a cold stare at the remaining guards of Watermoon Cavern.

“Ye`Er, you are back! Come here!”

At this moment, an old man’s voice was heard coming from inside the main hall. The old man sounded really friendly. He was obviously saying that with a genuine smile.

“Master!”

Qing Hanye shouted out in joy. She grabbed Qing Shui’s hand and walked into the hall together with him.

Deep down, Qing Shui was really happy when Qing Hanye held his hand. Their relationship hadn’t seen much improvement for the past two months. But now, things had once again become uncertain.

As soon as they got in, Qing Shui could already see the old man sitting on top. Opposite the old man was a man with a middle-aged look. Though he was sitting down, Qing Shui could tell that he has a slender figure. An elegant aura could be felt emitting out of his body.

The man was very handsome. He had a bright and noble look. His nose was straight and upright. The deep emotions in his eyes gave people the impression that he was a mature man. On his face was a smile that looked friendly but also was enough to warn people not to get close to him.

The man didn’t bother standing up when Qing Shui and Qing Hanye made their entrance. In fact, he didn’t even bother looking at Qing Shui. He only shot a gaze at Qing Hanye. But the moment he saw them holding hands, he couldn’t help but slightly move his brows. However, it only lasted momentarily before he managed to swiftly return back to his usual look. In his thought, he would just chop off whichever hand that had interacted with Qing Hanye.

Naturally, Qing Shui didn’t know what the man was thinking. Behind the man stood five other people. They all looked a bit old, or rather, middle-aged. At this moment, they were probing Qing Shui.

“Ye`Er, come here. This is the Watermoon Cavern Lord, Mister Chi Yan.” The old man was smiling when he introduced the Cave Lord to Qing Hanye.
