267 Shes My Lady (2/2)
The group of Dharma disciples from the Tiansong Sect had initially been shocked by the abrupt proposal of marriage. They had recovered somewhat from that scare, only to be shocked yet again when the Jihan Sect disciple standing right in front of them had outright rejected Mo Yitian.
They simply could not understand why the Jihan Sect disciple would reject Mo Yitian's proposal.
Going by the abilities he had demonstrated so far, he was basically set to become a Divine Transformation adept as long as he did not give up halfway… Besides, Mo Yitian was quite the handsome man himself.
A man like this was actually rejected?
Not only that—he was rejected by an ordinary disciple from the Jihan Sect.
”You're awfully calm, Little Junior Brother… If I were you, I'd long have made my way own to slap him the moment he spoke,” He Mengxi said with a shake of her head from beside Zhou Donghuang.
He was staring calmly at Luo Qinghan now.
Though his face was calm, there was a strange, imperceptible glint to his eyes.
”You, you're rejecting me? Mo Yitian?”
At the same time, Mo Yitian looked at Luo Qinghan. There was an incredulous look on his face, like he could not believe what he had just heard. ”Do you… do you know what kind of person I, Mo Yitian, am?”
”I know you're the top of the younger generation in the Tiansong Sect, and that you will become a Divine Transformation adept in the future.”
Luo Qinghan swept her gaze over Mo Yitian, looking rather disgusted. ”And what about it? Maybe other women would fight to get married to you, but I, Luo Qinghan, do not care for that.
”Are you satisfied with this answer?”
Luo Qinghan had already become somewhat irritable when she saw Zhou Donghuang. Now that Mo Yitian had pulled such a stunt—and the fact that he was such an eyesore—made her temper boil over.
The group of male disciples from the Jihan Sect Luo Qinghan's response were filled with pride at her statement, and there were wide grins stuck on their faces. The majority of the female disciples, however, seemed rather upset.
Especially Zhong Feng, whose face had twisted yet again after it had calmed into a warm look.
What did Luo Qinghan mean when she said other women would fight to marry him?
This Luo Qinghan, was she saying the rest of them had poor taste?
”This female disciple from the Jihan Sect, she really is quite the personality… I'd thought she would agree to the proposal earlier. After all, the guy's Mo Yitian of the Tiansong Sect,” Liu Lang said in shock. He was the son of the Summer Valley Head, Liu Fengao.
”Hahahaha…”
Mo Yitian, who had been shocked still by Luo Qinghan's words, finally recovered from the shock at this moment. He could not help but burst into laughter.
His laughter died down after a while, and he stared at Luo Qinghan. ”Interesting, interesting.
”Luo Qinghan, I make this declaration today… Today, you have rejected me, Mo Yitian. But someday, you will still end up marrying me or becoming my concubine. Do you believe me?”
Mo Yitian had been really confident when he made this bold declaration. It was as if there was no woman in this plane that he could not have.
”I don't,” said a languid, listless voice. Someone else had answered to Mo Yitian on behalf of Luo Qinghan.
”Who's that?!”
Mo Yitian's face warped in anger. He turned to look angrily at the bunch of people from the Lightning Sword Sect, since that was where the sound came from.
Almost at the same time Mo Yitian threw that question out, a white shadow floated over slowly from amidst the group of people of the Lightning Sword Sect. The person regarded Mo Yitian with a calm look in his eyes.
”Zhou Donghuang?”
When the group of Dharma disciples from the Lightning Sword Sect had chorused with that response, there were a number of people wondering who had been bold enough to provoke Mo Yitian like that.
Was that person not afraid of Mo Yitian taking revenge on them when they moved to the Guiyao planet for the Alliance Hunt?
Now, as they looked at the man stepping out from the crowd, quite a few of the Lightning Sword Sect disciples were staring at him in astonishment. ”It's Zhou Donghuang… You don't think he's taken a fancy to Luo Qinghan as well, do you?”
”Finally… He couldn't stand it any longer, could he?”
He Mengxi was smiling brightly, as if amused by the theatrics that were unfolding.
”Zhou Donghuang?'
The group of people from the Tiansong Sect, the Jihan Sect, as well as the Yunyue Sect looked at Zhou Donghuang; even the Lightning Sword Sect Leader, Yu Yucheng was looking at him. Every single one of them were looking at him in shock, and none of them knew what the man was planning to do.
Zhou Donghuang glanced at Mo Yitian, his lips curled into a mocking smirk as he spoke in a bland tone, ”Why? You don't sound too pleased.”
”You're Zhou Donghuang?”
After he heard the Lightning Sword Sect disciples address the young man dressed in white as such, Mo Yitian's eyes constricted. His gaze, which had been one of fury, had now transformed into one of fear.
”That's Zhou Donghuang?”
”I used to think that Mo Yitian was handsome, but he can't hold a candle to Zhou Donghuang.”
”Well, it's as the saying goes: out with the old, in with the new. It's the same principle.”
…
The people of the Yunyue Sect were abuzz with chatter, worrying about the worst case scenario.
”Zhou Donghuang, why are you responding to a question I directed at Luo Qinghan?”
It was a reasonable question. Even though Mo Yitian was somewhat frightened by Zhou Donghuang, he was still charged with anger.
In a split second, the collective gaze of everybody from the four great sects fell on Zhou Donghuang. It was as if everyone wanted to know how he would respond to Mo Yitian's question.
Even Luo Qinghan had unknowingly turned to look at Zhou Donghuang in this instant.
Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, Zhou Donghuang stated calmly, ”She's my lady.
”Is there something wrong with me answering on behalf of her?”
