“Xin Yan, did you not hear what I said?” Xin Yanyan said vehently: “My dad is not dead. He’s just ditating to recover. You better rember this.”
“Also, from today onwards, Yang Dingtian is my husband, the future Cloud Sky City Lord, so you should be careful when you speak,” Xin Yanyan said coldly.
“What? Yanyan, what did you just say?” Xin Yan could hardly believe what he just heard.
“What? Didn’t you hear clearly?” Xin Yanyan then said word-by-word, “From today onwards, Yang Dingtian will be my husband, the future Cloud Sky City Lord and our Head, so you must be careful when you speak.”
Xin Yan pointed at Yang Dingtian and said, “Yanyan, you’re marrying him? But, isn’t he useless? Why? This useless man even dread of marrying Dongfang Bingling and becoming the Yin Yang Sect Head. He ended up humiliated and almost got killed. Now, he’s eyeing our Cloud Sky City? Don’t even dream of letting this kind of useless man be the Lord of Cloud Sky City!”
Xin Yanyan’s beautiful little face showed a cold expression. “This was my father’s decision. We had just gone through the ceremony and have beco husband and wife. Are you going to disobey my father’s orders?”
Xin Yan’s handso face suddenly twitched. He shouted, “What on earth? Why? I’m so good to you. I treat you like a princess. I listen to you. I work hard for the Xin family. I have done so much, and you and foster father just turn a blind eye? Now, you even let such a useless outsider step on and beco the new Head?”
“Haha....” Xin Yan let out a pitiful laugh. “It’s really a big barren world! Foster son, foster son? Those were just pretty words. I was really naive and had really thought of myself as the son of the Xin family. Apparently, I was just a slave, only a slave. Haha....”
“I cannot accept this. I cannot accept this...” Xin Yan’s tone changed from grief to cold.
Xin Yanyan asked coldly, “Xin Yan, are you trying to rebel?”
“Rebel?” Xin Yan sneered. “No, I am just concerned about the fate of Cloud Sky City. Now that the City Lord is dead, I, as the foster son of the Cloud Sky City Lord, absolutely will not hand over the fates of thousands of Cloud Sky City citizens to a useless outsider.”
Xin Yanyan’s face changed. She sensed a dangerous situation brewing. “What do you want to do?”
“I’m going to go find my brothers outside to see if they can accept an outsider stepping on their heads?” Xin Yan said. “I absolutely do not believe that this was the City Lord’s order. Maybe soone falsified his last will? Then, we’ll throw this useless outsider into the sea. Anyways, he is a disaster. Letting him stay on the boat will only bring disaster to our entire Cloud Sky City.”
“Xin Yan, do you dare?” Xin Yanyan asked fiercely.
“Why would I not dare?” Xin Yan asked bluntly. “Can you stop ? Do you think you are my opponent? Last ti when we competed, I went easy on you. Otherwise, I could’ve beaten you with even one hand.”
After saying that, Xin Yan turned to leave.
Xin Yanyan panicked and suddenly drew her sword. She coldly said, “Xin Yan, if you take one more step, don’t bla my sword for being rciless.”
“Is it?” Xin Yan looked up and scoffed coldly. “I don’t even need to use a weapon against you. If I can’t defeat you within ten moves, then consider another useless person!”
Xin Yanyan got extrely furious and rushed towards him.
Yang Dingtian got between them, looked at Xin Yan, and asked, “Do you really want to fight here in front of Uncle?”
“I’ve no choice,” Xin Yan said. “I’m doing this for the sake of Cloud Sky City. I can’t bear to see it get ruined by the two of you.”
“Yanyan is not your match. There’s no need to fight,” Yang Dingtian said. “Deep down in your heart, you are not satisfied. You want to cause a fuss just to ruin , am I right?”
Xin Yan coldly sighed but did not agree or disagree.
“Doing this may ruin my future, but it also brings you no benefit,” Yang Dingtian said. “Why not do things in a way that will be more beneficial to you? In two years, let’s have a match. If I lose, I will imdiately give up the position of heir to Cloud Sky City. Then, I’ll recomnd you to be the new Cloud Sky City Lord.”
Xin Yan’s eyes flashed brightly, but he also sneered. “I’ve been ranked in the top 10 among Cloud Sky City’s disciples. I’ve been practicing for twenty years, and you want to beat in just two? Dream on! Also, you’re not even qualified to be Cloud Sky City Lord. How would you be qualified enough to recomnd ?”
“I’m not qualified, but Yanyan is,” Yang Dingtian said.
Xin Yanyan wanted to say sothing, but she eventually shut her mouth without uttering a word.
“Two years? You?” Xin Yan said with a sneer. “I have no idea why foster father thought so highly of you. You’re such a useless man. In such a short ti, you want to beat ? In your dreams!”
“Isn’t it a good way? My loss would an that father-in-law had really judged incorrectly. I would not be qualified to be Yanyan’s husband, nor would I be qualified to be Cloud Sky City Lord,” Yang Dingtian argued.
“Why should I believe you?” Xin Yan said coldly.
Yang Dingtian said, “I can swear that I will fight Xin Yan in two years. If I lose, I don’t deserve to be Xin Yanyan’s husband, and I’m also not qualified to beco the future Lord of Cloud Sky City. I’ll disqualify myself from the race for the position of Cloud Sky City Lord, leave, and never step foot in Cloud Sky City for the rest of my life. If I violate this oath, I will die horribly and be forever denied reincarnation.”
Xin Yan said, “Swear on your parent’s nas.”
Yang Dingtian was only enraged. The muscles on his face twitched. “If I break the oath, let my parents have no peace!”
“Is it okay now?” Yang Dingtian asked.
“And you, Yanyan, swear on foster father’s reputation,” Xin Yan said.
Xin Yanyan remained silent and stared at Xin Yan coldly.
Xin Yan’s avoided her stare. “I am only doing this for Cloud Sky City.”
Xin Yanyan stared at Xin Yan and slowly said word-by-word, “In two years, Yang Dingtian will have a match with Xin Yan. If Yang Dingtian loses, he will automatically lose the qualification to beco Cloud Sky City Lord. I will then recomnd Xin Yan to be the next Cloud Sky City Lord. If I go against my vow, let my father, Xin Wuya, slice to death!”
Obviously, this oath didn’t match Xin Yan’s requirent. However, looking at Xin Yanyan’s fiery gaze, Xin Yan moved his mouth a little but didn’t ask for anything else.
“Xin Yan, can you leave now?” Xin Yanyan asked coldly.
“Yanyan, I’m doing this for Cloud Sky City.” Xin Yan said. Then, he turned to Yang Dingtian and laughed. “Useless man, I shall let you live for this short period of ti. In two years, I will turn you into an absolutely useless man.”
“Hng!” Xin Yan sighed and left.
**********
The entire cabin turned completely silent. Xin Yanyan could finally no longer hold in her emotions. Tears burst out from her eyes, and she looked sadly at her father. She tried hard to stop crying as she was afraid of making too much noise.
Since she was a child, she had been protected by her father, just like a princess. Now, everything had changed. Her sky collapsed. Her foster brother that was previously obedient had shown his evil side. Her broken heart had once again collapsed. She could no longer shoulder everything any longer.
Who could she rely on now? She wasn’t an ambitious woman like Dongfang Bingling. These past few years, she had only wanted to live a carefree life under her father’s protection.
Yang Dingtian was heartbroken as he watched Xin Yanyan crying helplessly. This curvy and fiery body in front of him looked so weak and hurt that he wanted to comfort her and whisper into her ear that he will protect her from today onwards.
“Yanyan, do you hate ?” However, he was only able to utter this one sentence.
Xin Yanyan raised her beautiful head and glanced at Yang Dingtian with her teary eyes. There was a glimpse of hatred, but it instantly turned into grief.
Anyone else in her situation would definitely hate him. If he hadn’t protected Yang Dingtian, Xin Wuya wouldn’t have faced such an ending. He would have still been one of the top martial artists in the world and would have led Cloud Sky City for several more decades. Even Xuan Sky Sect’s Zhu Qingzhu might not have easily been able to move against him. However, everything had changed because of Yang Dingtian.
“Hate, how can I not hate you? At first, you didn’t sell the fla accessory to , was rude to , and made my father scold . I already hated you so much. Now that you caused my daddy to beco like this, how could I not hate you?”
Yang Dingtian looked at her, wanting to say sorry. However, he ultimately didn’t because this wasn’t a situation a simple apology could resolve.
Xin Yanyan stared at Yang Dingtian. “But, don’t worry. I’m not Dongfang Bingling. Daddy had marry you. I will be your wife wholeheartedly and assist you.”
“Deep down in my heart, I still hate you, but I will listen to my dad’s words and learn to be your wife. So don’t worry. Even if you want to have intimate contact with , I will not reject you. I will fulfill my duty as your wife....”
“On top of that, as your wife, I will no longer scold or disrespect you like before. I even won’t order you around to do things. But, if you want anything more than that, I’m sorry. I won’t be able to give it to you!”
What was anything more? Xin Yanyan was talking about her heart.
Yang Dingtian nodded. He didn’t utter a word and kneeled in front of Xin Wuya. He pulled out a dagger and drew a line across his hand. He wiped the fresh blood on his face. “I, Yang Dingtian, swear towards the heaven and chaotic mainland. I will definitely wipe out Zhu Qingzhu’s entire Sect. I will definitely help Cloud Sky City take the status of legitimacy from the Yin Yang Sect. I will definitely protect Xin Yanyan forever, ensuring that she never cos to harm. If I violate my oath, I will die and be buried in the chaotic mainland!”
This was the most powerful oath in the chaotic mainland, a blood oath!
