In the courtyard, a woman wearing a veil and a purple dress sat on a stone bench.
Across from her sat a handso man in black.
The man had an evil charm about him and a smile on his face as he gazed favorably at the woman before him.
As for the two maids, they stood quietly behind the woman, like two statues.
"Qing Yu, the day after tomorrow is our wedding day. If there’s anything you need, just tell , and I’ll make sure you have it," Qin Yuan said with a smile.
"Young Master Qin, please call Sikong Qingyu. We are not yet Dao companions, we are not that close," the woman said coldly, her face showing little affection for Qin Yuan in front of her.
Ping’an, hidden in the shadows, couldn’t help but chuckle upon hearing this.
It seed that this woman’s attitude towards Qin Yuan was even worse than he had thought.
This was indeed good news.
But a surna like Sikong?
That was an extrely rare surna.
"Qing Yu, there’s no need to be so distant between us. In two days, we can beco Dao companions. I will be wholly devoted to you," Qin Yuan said with a smile.
"Call Sikong Qingyu. I don’t want to repeat myself," the woman said again, coldly.
Qin Yuan’s face suddenly stiffened.
Ping’an, still in the shadows, found this slightly amusing. He hadn’t expected Qin Yuan’s marriage to be so one-sided.
"In that case, I shall call you Miss Sikong," Qin Yuan said with a smile.
This ti, the woman didn’t object.
"Qin Yuan, you should know that if it weren’t for the Sect insisting that I marry you, I would absolutely not wed you. Within these two days, I will still try to persuade the Sect to cancel the wedding. If you don’t want to always treat you this way, it would be best if you voluntarily proposed to cancel the engagent yourself."
The woman seed unwilling to drag the matter out and got straight to the point.
"Sikong Qingyu, it was your Thunder Heaven Sect that proposed marrying you off to . Whether you like it or not, you are mine. Abandon the thought of cancelling the wedding," Qin Yuan said with a cold snort, no longer feigning cordiality.
The Thunder Heaven Sect?
Ping’an realized what sort of force he was dealing with in the Sect that had decided to ally with the Myriad Demons Sect through marriage.
The Thunder Heaven Sect was also a very famous power during the ancient tis and was very strong in its own right.
However, rumors had it that the Thunder Heaven Sect had been completely eradicated in a great war during ancient tis. Now it seed, even if they hadn’t been destroyed, they couldn’t be faring well, having taken the initiative to propose marriage to the Myriad Demons Sect.
Could it be they were after that spot?
After so thought, Ping’an believed that only that could attract them.
This ergence of the ancient Sects was mostly aid at the Reincarnation God Ruins that would open in three months.
Otherwise, Ping’an couldn’t think of anything else that could attract these powers so significantly.
"Yes, we of the Thunder Heaven Sect want to enter the Reincarnation God Ruins. As I said before, as long as you are willing, I can trade other treasures for it, even Divine Arts," the woman said.
"Do you think I need those? Once you beco my Dao companion, everything you have will be mine, even your Thunder Heaven Sect," Qin Yuan said with a scoff.
"You actually want to swallow our Thunder Heaven Sect? How dare you?" the woman said angrily.
"So what if I do? Your Thunder Heaven Sect declined a lot after the ancient war, didn’t it? Many ancient Sects have erged and have forcefully taken spots from the great powers, yet here you are seeking marriage. Doesn’t that show how weak your Sect is?" Qin Yuan jeered.
The woman’s eyebrows furrowed instantly upon hearing Qin Yuan’s words.
In truth, what Qin Yuan said was correct; their Thunder Heaven Sect had indeed been in decline since the battle in Ancient Tis.
Although they had been in seclusion for years, it had not honed their edge; on the contrary, it had made the Sect even more polluted and corrupt.
This arranged marriage was also the result of so parasites within the Sect.
However, she found herself unable to resist it.
She had not expected Qin Yuan to harbor such ambition, which only fueled her anger.
"I know you’re very strong, very talented, and that marrying is beneath you, but if I rember correctly, you t so mishap while practicing the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Record, didn’t you? You can’t suppress the Divine Thunder in your body, so how much of your strength can you actually utilize?" Qin Yuan asked with a sneer.
"Who told you that?" Sikong Qingyu was visibly startled, her face showing her surprise.
"Naturally, it was one of your Sect Elders who told , with only one purpose in mind, to make you obediently beco my Dao companion. Did you really think I was courteous to you because I feared you?" Qin Yuan said disdainfully.
Sikong Qingyu’s face flushed with embarrassnt and her heart was filled with unyielding anger.
She had not expected the Sect Elders to reveal such a thing to Qin Yuan.
This clearly ant that they wanted Qin Yuan to have leverage over her.
Now that she thought about it, this arranged marriage seed to be a sche to trade her for Sect resources and, at the sa ti, to kick her out of the Sect.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she beca, yet she was powerless.
"If we fought now, you would stand no chance against . Sikong Qingyu, I originally wanted to have a proper talk with you, but you pushed to this point, so you’d better be obedient with today and don’t make take action," Qin Yuan said with a cold laugh.
"You..." The woman was furious, and a burst of thunder erupted from her, exuding a powerful oppressive force.
Yet, Qin Yuan simply sneered, entirely unafraid.
"Young Master Qin, are you going to make a move? Once you do, the commotion will not be small, and many guests have already arrived at the Myriad Demons Sect. Do you really want everyone to know?" a maid imdiately said.
At these words, Qin Yuan hesitated for a mont and then snorted coldly, "I’ll let it be for today. Sikong Qingyu, I advise you to think it over carefully. I expect a good answer from you tomorrow."
After saying this, Qin Yuan swept his sleeve and disappeared in a flash of light.
Sikong Qingyu retracted her thunder and looked at the place where Qin Yuan had vanished, her eyes filled with intense anger.
"Saintess, what should we do now? You can only exert less than thirty percent of your strength at present and may not be a match for Qin Yuan, especially since we’re in the Myriad Demons Sect," a maid said worriedly.
"Yes, Saintess, Qin Yuan is so despicable, clearly not a good person. If you really beco his Dao companion, you’re likely to be suppressed and it will be difficult to turn things around later," another maid added.
"I understand. You two go ahead and leave . Let be alone for a while," Sikong Qingyu said.
Upon hearing her words, the two maids nodded and then left the courtyard.
With the maids gone, Sikong Qingyu also looked towards the void, her expression cold as she said, "Since you’ve co, why not show yourself?"
"Eh, you actually noticed ?" Xu Ping’an was sowhat surprised as he erged from the shadows.
He possessed mastery over the Qiankun Dao Principle, which included the Spatial Dao.
Forget the Initial Stage of the Immortal Emperor Realm, not even those at the Peak would be able to detect him easily.
Sikong Qingyu eyed Xu Ping’an, uncertainty in her gaze.
Although the man before her only possessed Tenth Rank cultivation, he gave her a sense of danger she had never felt even from Qin Yuan.
Who exactly was this person?
