267 Shes My Lady (1/2)
Mo Yitian's words did not just shock his master, Tiansong Sect leader Huang Chunqiu. Even the other members of the Tiansong Sect were shocked as well.
Yuan Zheng was dumbstruck. Although he did encourage Mo Yitian too hold on to Luo Qinghan tight, he never expected for the latter to be this direct and decisive.
This was a little too much.
So this was the confidence of the top of the younger generation in the Tiansong Sect?
The Jihan Sect leader, Meng Yuping, who had been chatting idly with Huang Chunqiu was flabbergasted. She knew who Mo Yitian was—this was the disciple her old friend, Huang Chunqiu, was the proudest of. He was the top of the younger generation within the sect.
One of her disciples, was rather taken with him. She had even requested a few times for Meng Yuping to matchmake them, only to be rejected on the basis that ladies had to exercise patience and restraint.
”Luo Qinghan?”
Truth be told, Meng Yuping would probably not know of Luo Qinghan's existence if not for the fact that she was one of the people who was allowed to take part in the Alliance Hunt this time.
Though the male disciples in the Jihan Sect were always talking about Luo Qinghan's beauty, this was not the case with the female disciples.
As such, Meng Yuping had not heard of Luo Qinghan before.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
While Meng Yuping was still frozen in shock, the group of Jihan Sect disciples all turned to look at the woman dressed in green who was standing all the way at the back.
Decked in green clothes, the lady was still gorgeous and alluring, commanding the attention of people even without make-up.
In this moment, the majority of the female disciples from the sect were green with envy as they looked at Luo Qinghan.
The male disciples, on the other hand, seemed rather indignant.
At the end of the day, Luo Qinghan was a flower from the Jihan Sect. A beauty like her should be kept within the sect, so the horde of them were rather opposed to having Luo Qinghan marry someone from another clan.
Luo Qinghan had had her head bowed as she was lost in her own thoughts, so she did not hear what Mo Yitian said. But now, with the crowd turning their gaze on her and the whispers around her, she finally realized what was going on.
Mo Yitian.
She had heard of this person before. He was the number one among the younger generation in the Tiansong Sect, and the ideal lover for many of the female disciples in the Jihan Sect.
It was because of this that it was not particularly surprising for so many of the female disciples in the Jihan Sect to throw her looks of envy.
”I hope Junior Uncle Meng will allow this,” Mo Yitian said as he looked towards Meng Yuping again, body low in a bow.
”Senior Brother Mo!”
”You barely know her since this is the first you're seeing of her…and you already want for her to marry you? Aren't you being too hasty about this?”
This young lady was Zhong Feng, and she was the direct disciple of the Jihan Sect leader, Meng Yuping. She was also one of the mid Dharma disciples who were here to take part in the Alliance Hunt.
She had loved Mo Yitian for many years.
She loved him so much that she had begged for her master to matchmake them, only to be rejected.
”This is an issue of fate. Hastiness has no bearing on this,” Mo Yitian said with a shake of his head.
”I believe in what I feel.”
”You…”
Zhong Feng had heard—and also saw—for herself that Mo Yitian had made up his mind. Her face blanched, and she subconsciously turned to look at Luo Qinghan, shooting an icy look at the latter.
At the same time, when Luo Qinghan looked right back at Zhong Feng, the latter sent her a stern look of warning.
”Sect Leader Meng.”
At this time, the Tiansong Sect leader responded, ”This is the first time this disciple of mine is making sure a request… I can tell that he's truly taken with that disciple from your esteemed sect.
”If it's possible… Sect Leader Meng, do you mind asking your disciple for her opinion?”
Huang Chunqiu pampered Mo Yitian a lot, so it was because of this that he was extremely cooperative when the latter made his request.
Now that Huang Chunqiu had made such a request himself, it was difficult for Meng Yuping to reject it. She immediately called for Luo Qinghan, ”Come over for a second, Luo Qinghan.”
Meng Yuping was the leader of the Jihan Sect. Luo Qinghan would never dare to defy her orders no matter how unwilling she was to head over.
Under the murderous gaze of Zhong Feng, Luo Qinghan floated over to Meng Yuping's side and greeted her with a bow. ”Sect Leader.”
Seeing Luo Qinghan step out, Mo Yitian's eyes were gleaming with an unconcealable desire.
”Luo Qinghan, Mo Yitian is a core disciple from the Tiansong Sect and he wishes to marry you… What do you think?”
Meng Yuping stared at Luo Qinghan calmly. She spoke to the latter in a calm and even tone that betrayed no emotion.
”I reject his offer, Sect Leader.”
Luo Qinghan had initially planned on clarifying that she had long made up her mind to be celibate for life. But she saw the look that Mo Yitian had levelled at her, and it filled her heart with disgust, so she rejected him curtly.
Her response made Zhong Feng smile, and the latter looked towards her more warmly now.
”This Luo Qinghan… She rejected him?”
”My God! Does she know who she's rejecting? Marrying him—even just to be his concubine—would secure her several lifetimes of training perks. And she rejected him?”
…
The female disciples of the Jihan Sect were whispering among themselves. All of them thought that Luo Qinghan was foolish and did not know to seize an opportunity when it was presented to her.
As for the male disciples, they all let out a sigh of relief.
”She rejected him?”
