Chapter 53: Irony

Hearing Qiuyuan Lishang’s words, Nangong Tingli and Beili Yuanziran couldn’t help but laugh secretly. After all, who doesn’t know that Murong Qingyan has no way to cultivate ah! So, her giving glory to her family is simply a joke! It’s already fortunate enough that Qiuyuan Clan Master didn’t disgrace their clan directly.

But, sure enough, after hearing his words, Murong Xiong’s face becomes more ugly.

“We just learn earlier that sister participated in this competition.” Murong Qingxue who was long been silent and standing beside Murong Xiong said: “Grandfather has always valued sister, he doesn’t want sister to get hurt. But, sister joins this competition without our knowledge.”

With her few uttered words, she let these people learn that Murong Qingyan joins the competition out of her willfulness. It was Murong Qingyan’s decision alone and Murong Clan has nothing to do with it. So, if Murong Qingyan will lose, the clan won’t be affected.

“Qingxue was right.” Murong Xiong said while looking at Murong Qingxue with full of admiration. Then, he added: “Murong Qingyan wanted to show off, so she participated in this competition. She doesn’t listen to my teaching. Whatever she does, it has nothing to do with our clan.”

But in actuality, Murong Xiong paid more attentions to Murong Qingxue compared to Muorng Qingyan. Murong Qingxue is very talented, last night, she even has broken through the middle stage of Foundation Establishment stage (2nd Stage). The General Clan Assembly has an age limit. The participants must only be around thirteen to twenty-five years old.

And only a few people can reach the middle stage of Foundation Establishment stage (2nd Stage) in this age. So, he is very confident that Murong Qingxue will win at least the second or third place of this competition.

“I heard that the engagement between Nangong Clan and Murong Clan has been changed, is it true?” Qiuyuan Clan Master suddenly change the topic: “They said that Murong Qingyan was replaced by Murong Qingxue!”

His remark was supposed to ease the tension, but instead, the atmosphere becomes more stagnant. And this time, not only Murong Xiong become ugly because Nangong Tingli’s face becomes a bit ugly too.

“Isn’t this a normal occasion?” Beili Clan Master said while laughing out loud: “It’s fine, as long as the people will not complain and defend Murong Qingyan.”

“Oh, I guess you’re right. But, I really didn’t expect Nangong Clan Master would agree to dissolve the engagement ah!” Qiuyuan Clan Master look at Nangong Clan Master and said sarcastically: “If I remember correctly, you agreed to that engagement because Murong Xizhao saves your life, right? If he learns that you cast aside his daughter, I don’t know what he will feel!”

The fight between the four great families has started heating up when the Murong Clan declined. And since then, the other three clans naturally want to achieve the Murong Clan’s past glory.

However, because Nangong Clan has Nangong Ye. Qiuyuan Clan and Beili Clan can only vaguely compete with them. Especially now that Nangong Ye has already been invited by Qinglong Academy. With this, the other two clans will naturally fear them.

Qiuyuan Clan Master can’t cause any issues to such a big achievement. But, with breaking the engagement, Nangong Clan Master is certainly wrong. So, he will not miss this opportunity.
