Qin Wushuang had harvested great success during this trip to the Floating Snow House. At least, it had definitely exceeded his expectations. He had solved the long matter that was gnawing on Mu Rong Xu’s mind.
Initially, Mu Rong Xu thought that the higher-ups of the Floating Snow House would surely not agree to the marriage proposal between her and Qin Wushuang. She was even prepared to elope with Qin Wushuang.
Although this girl, who is passive yet firm, was ready to fight till the end, she was the happiest when problems were solved perfectly in a gentle manner.
Qin Yunran’s show of consideration had also given the Floating Snow House a clear-cut hint that they would be forming an alliance! This fact had also allowed these higher-ups of the Floating Snow House to turn from their earlier worry.
On the other hand, after Qin Yunran left with Mu Rong Xu, the four major higher-ups of the Floating Snow House remained seated in the great hall. Each of them looked at each other for they were holding back many words.
"Big brother, earlier, I went overboard with my words. Please forgive me for the offensive parts," Mu Rong Qianshan had opened his mouth to speak first.
Naturally, Mu Rong Qianji did not have such small breadth of mind. Although he was overprotective, it was not as if he had disregard the brotherhood completely. In fact, he thought no less of the Floating Snow House’s future than Mu Rong Qianshan. Only, being a father, he was incapable of forcing his daughter into a troubled life.
He waved his hand and said with an indifferent tone, "Everyone was thinking for the future of the Floating Snow House. There is no such thing as bearing grudges between brothers. You all know me, as long as you don’t offend my bottom-line, there will be no problems with anyone. Now, I want to hear your views on the Qin Clan."
"Second, you go first," Mu Rong Qianji looked at Mu Rong Qianhuan and called on to him.
Hearing his elder brother calling his name first, did not surprise Mu Rong Qianhuan. After a moment of silence he said, "Boss, the outside world has been spreading rumors of how under the converging attacks from the Heavenly Punishing Villa and the Sound of Thunder Sect, the Qin Clan is in an unusually difficult situation. They’ve been tossed about by the wind and the rain and have deeply layered problems. However, after seeing them here, it seemed to be a completely different situation."
Mu Rong Qianji laughed. "How many years have the Heavenly Punishing Villa lived at the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gate? How many years have the Sound of Thunder Sect resided at the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gate? There must be a total of ten thousand years? Since the immemorial time, the Qin Clan has been part of the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gate. There is no need to talk about the depth of their history. Of course, we must admit that the Qin Clan is currently at their lowest point, but them getting tossed by the rain and wind, I don’t think so."
This time, the Heavenly Punishing Villa and the Sound of Thunder Sect have indeed, appeared to be extremely tyrannical. Qin Yunran’s self-composed performance has left them a deeper impression.
It made them feel that the Qin Clan was enigmatic. The Heavenly Punishing Villa and the Sound of Thunder Sect were on the contrary, somewhat flustered and exasperated. Although the attitude of the Heavenly Emperor Eight was extremely ambiguous, at least between those two powerhouses, the Qin Clan was not at a disadvantage. Instead, they gave the impression of handling a tense situation with ease.
Because of the Qin Clan’s ability to handle such a delicate situation and by having the confidence to grasp everything at hand, it gave the Floating Snow House a valiant impression.
It made them feel that becoming relatives with the Qin Clan would not make them consigned to eternal damnation as they had imagined. On the contrary, through some careful thinking, if the Qin Clan was willing to help the Floating Snow House, it may even be a great turning point!
All the powerhouses at the Xuan Yuan Mound have yearned for a position at the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gate. Although since the ancient times, how many powerhouses have been qualified to have a taste of those eight seats?
Deep in their hearts, the Floating Snow House had longed for the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gate like the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect.
Although Qin Yunran had not given an exact statement, inviting Mu Rong Qianshan to visit the Aspiring Throne Mountain and many other details he said were giving a clear enough impression.
If they could not see through such obvious hints, they would not be leaders of the Floating Snow House.
"Big brother, if the Qin Clan is truly willing to help you advance to the Supreme Dao, I think it’s not a bad idea for the Floating Snow House to form an alliance with the Qin Clan!"
"Yes, if the Floating Snow House has a Supreme Dao warrior, how can powerhouses such as the Heavenly Punishing Villa and the Sound of Thunder Sect dare to bully us so aggressively like we just experienced? Seeking a marriage proposal? I see that they were clearly using the marriage proposal as camouflage to deal with the Qin Clan while using the Floating Snow House as a battleground."
Regarding this matter, at first Mu Rong Qianshan felt that the intervention of the Heavenly Punishing Villa and the other powerhouse would allow them to have the excuse to refuse the Qin Clan.
Now, upon thinking carefully, Mu Rong Qianshan had a huge change in terms of his attitude. He felt that those two powerhouses were clearly kicking people around.
Mu Rong Qianshan did not exhibit such drastic changes of emotions like them. He muttered to himself, "I decided that after only a short while. I will pay a visit to the Aspiring Throne Mountain and probe for the implied meaning behind their words."
Big brother, go as soon as possible. If you can advance to the Supreme Dao, the Floating Snow House will be more superior!"
Mu Rong Qianji said with a smile, "I will try my best. I also want to see who will enter the Supreme Dao stage first between Luo Tongtian and myself!"
Mu Rong Qianji and Luo Tongtian were publicly known as hopeful candidates to advance into the Supreme Dao stage. These two had always competed and compared their strength in secret.
Now that the mountain gate of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect has been destroyed and the sect’s positions suddenly declined, it did not mean that Luo Tongtian had suffered also.
The competition between these two would still continue.
"Brother, regarding your future son-in-law, he is truly a puzzle." Mu Rong Qianhuan was deeply moved by him. "For a while we have collected much information on him; however, he always brings unimaginable surprises for us. It seems this Qin Wushuang is truly gifted. I see Brother Yunran thinks highly of him. I can see that he plans to groom Qin Wushuang as the heir to the Qin Clan."
Mu Rong Qianshan chuckled. "Although I was against the relationship between him and Xu’Er before, regarding Qin Wushuang as an individual, I think he is a truly exceptional young man. Regardless of how I looked at him, he’s a hundred times more flexible than Luo Ting was. There are a lot of outstanding disciples at the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gate, but not many like Qin Wushuang who possess vitality, assertiveness, and a sophisticated mind. I think only the royal highness, Xin Wuji, of the Heavenly Emperor Gate has the qualification to be on top of Qin Wushuang, right? Although some of the other young people have slightly more strength, if they were to compete with him, they would most likely not win."
These were not flattering words. In the Black Dead Sea, he was able to fight one against four where two of them had Supreme Dao weapons. Even an elite warrior of the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary would most likely not be able to win against such skills and strategies.
Unless it was someone like Mu Rong Qianji who was at the peak of the Common Mysterious stage, they would not be able to deal with Qin Wushuang.
Mu Rong Qianhuan also added to his praise, "The thing that made me astonished the most was that his network had extended to the dragon clan. I really want to know how many secrets are behind this Qin Wushuang."
Mu Rong Qianji laughed leisurely. "What would we gain by knowing these? I rather hope he has more secrets!"
Mu Rong Qianshan laughed. "That’s right. The more secrets you have, the more trump cards you have. It also means he may possess profound fortune. Big brother, could Qin Wushuang truly be someone arranged by the will of heaven and a genius to lead the Qin Clan to advance rapidly? Or else, no matter how devilish a young man of the human countries could be, his progress is way too fast. How many years has he walked on the path of martial arts? He was able to hard-press a major powerhouse such as the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect."
Everyone laughed wholeheartedly. In the past they had only heard about his talents, but now after seeing it with their own eyes they had finally witnessed the exceptional aspects this young man possesses.
Compared to him, youngsters such as Yan Zhuiyang and Lei Jiao were just kids. That would also include Luo Ting from before his death.
"Luo Tongtian had made a big fuss over Luo Ting’s death. Thinking now, it wasn’t injustice when Qin Wushuang took out Luo Ting. Even with Luo Ting’s high potential and powerful strength, can he surpass Yan Zhuiyang and Lei Jiao? In spite of possessing similar potential and strength, Lei Jiao and Yan Zhuiyang had Supreme Dao weapons and were fighting four against one."
"Yes, now it seems it’s truly not an injustice for Luo Ting’s death." Mu Rong Qianji gave a long sigh. "Junior brothers, now our Floating Snow House has acquired an opportunity. I hope everyone will throw away those little details, those little prejudices and seize this opportunity. Regardless of success or failure, we need to make a gamble out of it. With the future trend in the Xuan Yuan Mound, it’s difficult to remain neutral and to just think for ourselves. Since we have this opportunity, we cannot resign our fate without fighting for it."
"Big brother, we will listen to you."
"Yes, you just decide. As long as the Qin Clan is willing to form an alliance with the Floating Snow House, we will do it! We cannot wait here for the Heavenly Punishing Villa and the Sound of Thunder Sect to seek revenge with us!"
"That’s right, additionally, after being passed down for tens of thousands of years, the Qin Clan must have encountered many low points. They must have their own way of survival to continue their traditions and sit as one of the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gate. I think that the Qin Clan must have their own trump cards that were unknown to the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gate and the Sound of Thunder Sect!"
Since they favored the Qin Clan, in between their speech, of course they had favored the Qin Clan. Naturally, their analysis was reasonable.
Through tens and thousands of years of continuous tradition, the Qin Clan must have had more than just one low point. The Qin Clan has withstood their hardships and never had their name taken from the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gate. Certainly they have a unique and solid foundation.
...
Qin Wushuang and Mu Rong Xu had kept an extremely low profile when they returned to the Aspiring Throne Mountain. They did not bother to startle any other people. Qin Yunran took them directly to the serene valley he used for training.
Qin Chongyang, the Third Chief was already awaiting them for a while. Apparently, he already received Qin Yunran’s report of success and also felt incredibly excited by everything Qin Wushuang had done.
"Ha ha, Third, you must have waited long."
Qin Chongyang laughed. "What harm is there in waiting long when it’s waiting for such inspiring good news? Wushuang, congratulations, you bought the beauty home! Ha ha!"
He didn’t expect this Third Chief to have such a humorous side. Mu Rong Xu had seen Qin Chongyang at the Heavenly Emperor Gate and knew him. She went up to pay her formality with Qin Wushuang.
"Yes, Wushuang, no need to be over-courteous. Excellent job. However, don’t blame me, I don’t plan to announce the result you’ve achieved to the entire Qin Clan."
Qin Wushuang would not mind this. He had long passed the stage of caring for false reputations. This time, his main goal for returning to the Aspiring Throne Mountain was to say his goodbyes. He was worried about his family and people of the sect.
