War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 3780 Hou Qing Ning and Murong Yin Yue’s Feelings Are Mutual

“Supreme Elder Zheng Xing, why are you leading the Linghu clan personally this time?”

Duan Ling Tian found from Hou Qing Ning’s Voice Transmission that the person leading the Murong clan was Murong Yun Liu, the Clan Leader of the Murong clan.

Murong Yun Liu was a tall and muscular young man who looked like he was in his 30s even though he was almost 20,000 years old. He was one of the youngest Lords of Gods in the Murong clan.

“I came in place of Ren Jie because he’s temporarily stripped of his position as the Clan Leader of the Linghu clan as a punishment,” Linghu Zheng Xing replied honestly after he greeted the old man, who was one of the strongest powerhouses in the Murong clan, standing next to Murong Yun Liu.

Linghu Zheng Xing knew Murong Yun Liu and Linghu Ren Jie were good friends so he did not bother to hide the truth from Murong Yun Liu.

Upon hearing Linghu Zheng Xing’s words, Murong Yun Liu’s expression changed slightly. “What? He’s stripped of his position? He didn’t tell me about it. Supreme Elder Zheng Xing, what happened?”

At the same time, Murong Yun Liu sent a message to Linghu Ren Jie who was in the Linghu clan’s estate.

Even the old man standing next to Murong Yun Liu looked at Linghu Zheng Xing with a slightly surprised expression.

Linghu Zheng Xing truthfully told them about how Linghu Ren Jie made a sacrifice for Duan Ling Tian.

Upon hearing this, envy could be seen in the eyes of some of the disciples of the Murong clan when they looked at Duan Ling Tian.

After listening to Linghu Zheng Xing, Murong Yun Liu turned to look at Duan Ling Tian. Then, he asked in a low voice, “Revered Elder Duan, don’t you think you should do something since Ren sie ended up in this predicament because of you?”

Duan Ling Tian replied lightly, “I’ve already promised the clan leader to help him reinstate his position in 100 years.”

Murong Yun Liu furrowed his brows upon hearing these words. He only understood what Duan Ling Tian meant when Linghu Zheng Xing explained it to him.

“He’ll return 50 million divine rocks to the Linghu clan? Moreover, he’s going to give Ren Jie another 50 million rocks?”

Although Murong Yun Liu knew Duan Ling Tian was capable of refining a huge number of god-grade Limit Divine Pills, he thought Duan Ling Tian was being absurd. After all, it was not easy to earn 100 million divine rocks. Even the Murong clan had only 10 million divine rocks in reserve and another 100 million divine rocks in the divine rock vein. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would never touch the divine rocks from the divine rock vein. After all, with more divine rocks in the vein, the quicker it would produce divine rocks. It would be unwise to deprive the divine rock vein of divine rocks. With the addition of the Heaven and Spirit Energy, the divine rock veins would produce divine rocks at an even quicker speed.

Apart from Hou Qing Ning, the other members of the Murong clan looked at Duan Ling Tian skeptically after hearing Linghu Zheng Xing’s explanation. Similarly, they thought it was impossible for Duan Ling Tian to fulfill his promise.

“He’s the Linghu clan’s Revered Elder Duan? The person who can refine as many god-grade Limit Divine Pills as he pleases?”

“Even an ordinary emperor-rank divine alchemist won’t dare to say he’d be able to gather 100 million divine rocks in 100 years.”

“I heard that he’s younger than us. He’s not even 3,000 years old. It’s only natural that he’s so naive and arrogant.”

“Well, it’s natural for the young to be arrogant. After 100 years, he’ll realize how ridiculous his promise is.”

At this moment, a beautiful woman standing next to Hou Qing Ning shifted her skeptical gaze away from Duan Ling Tian to Hou Qing Ning before she asked, “Hou Qing Ning, I heard my father say that Duan Ling Tian is a friend of yours?”

“That’s right, Third Young Miss,” Hou Qing Ning replied with a nod.

The beautiful woman was none other than Murong Yin Yue, Murong Yun Liu’s youngest and only daughter.

Hou Qing Ning had been the subject of the deadly stares from the male disciples of the Murong clan during their journey here since Murong Yin Yue kept following him. However, after being in the Murong clan for so many years, he had gotten used to it and was no longer bothered.

Murong Yin Yue said with a frown, “Your friend dares to make such a ridiculous promise; it seems like he’s rather unreliable. I think he’s a bad influence so you should stay away from him.”

Hou Qing Ning wanted to retort and tell Murong Yin Yue to mind her own business. However, he held back in the end. He only said indifferently, “I believe Duan Ling Tian will fulfill his promise.”

Although Hou Qing Ning thought Duan Ling Tian’s promise sounded absurd as well, he believed Duan Ling Tian would be able to create a miracle. After all, it was not the first time Duan Ling Tian had created miracles. Moreover, after knowing Duan Ling Tian for so long, he knew Duan Ling Tian was not one to renege on his promise.

“You believe him?” Murong Yin Yue’s frown deepened. Then, she placed her hand on Hou Qing Ning’s forehead as she asked, “Hou Qing Ning, do you have a fever?”

“Third Young Miss, please mind your manners. It’s inappropriate for us to have physical contact,” Hou Qing Ning said as he stepped aside to dodge Murong Yin Yue’s hand.

Murong Yin Yue’s face scrunched up in anger immediately.

With this, the male disciples of the Murong clan’s eyes turned even more hostile when they glared at Hou Qing Ning. Upon seeing this, Duan Ling Tian asked teasingly through Voice Transmission, “Hou Qing Ning, who’s that beside you?”

Since Hou Qing Ning was the only one Duan Ling Tian knew from the Murong clan, he had been looking at Hou Qing Ning. Hence, Hou Qing Ning and Murong Yin Yue’s interactions did not escape his notice.

“She’s Murong Yin Yue, the Third Young Miss of the Murong clan. She’s the clan leader’s youngest and only daughter,” Hou Qing Ning replied. “It seems like you’ll become the clan leader’s son-in-law soon,” Duan Ling Tian said with a laugh.

SO

“I’m not interested in that,” Hou Qing Ning said without any hesitation, “My only goal is to break through and become a Lord of Gods as soon as possible so I can lead the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect. I won’t consider marriage until I become a Lord of Gods.”

Nonetheless, Duan Ling Tian noticed that Hou Qing Ning’s gaze subconsciously softened when Hou Qing Ning glanced at Murong Yin Yue. It was clear to him that Hou Qing Ning was not unmoved by Murong Yin Yue and was just restraining himself.

On the other hand, the disciples of the Murong clan began to mock Hou Qing Ning when they heard him express his trust in Duan Ling Tian. However, they stopped talking immediately when Murong Yin Yue glared at them.

Duan Ling Tian smiled when he saw Murong Yin Yue defending Hou Qing Ning. Clearly, she was sincere toward Hou Qing Ning.

“Third Young Miss,” Duan Ling Tian greeted Murong Yin Yue through Voice Transmission.

Murong Yin Yue was surprised by Duan Ling Tian’s Voice Transmission. “What’s the matter?”

Duan Ling Tian smiled meaningfully as he said, “If I’m not mistaken, you’re fond of my friend, right?”

“Preposterous!” Murong Yue Yin’s face flushed red immediately. She replied indignantly, “Duan Ling Tian, not only do you like to boast, but it seems like you like to spout nonsense as well.”

“Third Young Miss, I won’t help you if you refuse to admit your feelings,” Duan Ling Tian said, “My friend is very passive. I’m afraid you’ll have to wait a long time if you plan to wait for his confession. You’ll likely have to wait for tens of thousands of years. He’s determined to become a Lord of Gods to lead the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect. He’s told me that before the Ten Thousand Leaves Sect becomes a lord-rank sect, he has no thoughts about getting married.”

A hint of unease could be seen in Murong Yin Yue’s eyes when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. She asked nervously, “Did, did he really say that?”

Indeed, Murong Yin Yue liked Hou Qing Ning. It was love at first sight. Her feelings only grew each time she saw him. Although she tried to restrain herself, it was useless.

“Why should I lie? Moreover, why do you think he’s so cold to you?” Duan Ling Tian asked in return.

Murong Yin Yue sighed in relief inwardly. It seemed like Hou Qing Ning did not dislike her. He only wanted to focus on his ambitions for now.

“Do you want to marry him?”

Duan Ling Tian decided to help Hou Qing Ning when he discovered Hou Qing Ning had feelings for Murong Yin Yue as well. After speaking to Murong Yin Yue through Voice Transmission, he was rather certain he would be able to bring the duo together.

“Do you, do you have a plan?” Murong Yin Yue’s eyes lit up. She could barely conceal her excitement.

With this, Duan Ling Tian knew that Murong Yin Yue had taken the bait.
