Talon thought that the reason for Mustang’s presence at the Qin Clan was the same as his. And as such, he couldn’t help but to feel a slight sense of pressure. Turning to Qin Yao, he asked, ” Yao`er, who’s the lucky guy that had the marriage engagement with Autumn Snow?”
“This…” An reluctant looked appeared on Qin Yao’s face, as her beautiful eyes flicked towards Qin Wentian before she replied, ”Teacher, this matter… I’m afraid to say that something unexpected occurred.”
“Huh? Something unexpected?” Talon froze.
Qin Wentian glanced at Qin Chuan, as if seeking for help as she stood there awkwardly. She too had only heard the vague rumors, but had not ascertained what was the truth yet. And thus, she didn’t dare to inform Talon, for fear of misleading her esteemed teacher.
“Wentian, come over here.” Qin Chuan beckoned to Qin Wentian. After Qin Wentian arrived by his side, Qin Chuan began addressing the two representatives of the prestigious academies, “Brother Mustang, Brother Talon, this is my son, Qin Wentian. The one with the marriage engagement with Bai Autumn Snow, is him precisely. The circumstances surrounding my son are somewhat special, despite him having godsent talent, he was unable to cultivate. Dear brothers, based on your immense amounts of experiences, do you think there are any solution for my son?
“Big brother, he was born with crippled meridians, what bullsh*t godsent talent?” Qin He interjected.
“Silence. Wentian was not born with crippled meridians, it was caused by an accident. His talent and sensory abilities towards the Astral Constellations are both immeasurably high.” Qin Chuan berated, as anger suffused his features. At this moment, both Talon and Mustang narrowed their eyes, as if they understood something. Though their actions might be the same, the thoughts behind the actions were not similar.
“Let me take a look.” Both Mustang and Talon said at the same time. As they extended each of their hands and placed them upon each wrist of Qin Wentian.
“Indeed, a human with broken meridians.” Talon’s heart shuddered slightly with disappointment as a nasty look reflected on his visage. Withdrawing his hands, he lightly laughed and stated “What a waste of my time, I expected a dragon to be matched with the phoenix, but to think that the dragon was a snake instead.”
Qin Chuan’s pupils contracted as his countenance turned cold. “You, your words, they seem a little inappropriate. You better watch what you say.”
“Hmm?” After Talon heard how Qin Chuan rebutted him, killing intent appeared in his eyes. How insolent.The authority of the Qin Clan diminished with each generation. Were it not for the talent of Autumn Snow and Qin Yao, he would never have stepped into the Qin Residence. To think that a has-been dared to use such a tone when addressing him.
Suppressing his anger, Talon let out a sarcastic laugh, “Qin Chuan, look at how pathetic the Qin Clan is now. Stop your foolish daydreams and face reality.”
“If you have nothing else to add, get out of here.” Qin Chuan said coldly. This made Qin Yao felt as if she was sandwiched between a rock and a hardplace. “Teacher, my dad has always been impulsive, please don’t take it to heart.”
“Qin Yao, this father of yours, he lacks proper understanding of the current state of affairs.” Talon said icily.
“Yao`er, in the future, you are not to acknowledge this person as your teacher.” Qin Chuan interjected, causing Qin Yao to turn pale with fright. Anger apparent on his features, Talon muttered “Excellent. Very good!”
Looking at these proceedings unfolding before him, Qin Wentian couldn’t help but feel a stab of guilt to his heart. All this while, for the sake of him, Qin Chuan had knowingly offended many people. And now, he had even caused Qin Chuan to have a falling out with the esteemed teacher of Qin Yao.
However, the thoughts of Mustang travelled down a totally different path compared to Talon. Glancing at Qin Wentian, Mustang let out a slight smile before asking, “Brother Qin, when was it that his meridians were crippled?”
“When he was 6.” Qin Chuan replied, “Initially, we thought that the accident was a one-off occurrence. Who would have thought that there were intermittent effects, as the intensity increased overtime, and ultimately leading to all the pathways of his meridians getting destroyed.”
“6 years old.” Mustang breathed. Staring intently at Qin Wentian, he withdrew his hand. If what he guessed was right… “What frightening tenacity, what frightening willpower.”
Thinking of Talon’s earlier display, Mustang couldn’t help but to sneer disdainfully. What a foolish boor.
“Dang, dang, dang.” At this moment, all the spectators could feel the earth tremble beneath their feet, as the sound of horses galloping could be heard. The members of the Qin Clan all had expressions ranging from shock, rage, and astonishment on their faces. Who would dare to ride their horses, and barge into the Qin Clan?
