When Liu Fei heard Nan Gong Ling’s speech, she heaved a sigh. Actually, she could understand the difficult position in which Nan Gong Ling found himself. Yet, she was concerned about her father who also had to bear huge responsibilities, she was really trying her best to help him by any means possible.
“Patriarch, Nan Gong Ling, building the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue is an order of His Majesty. Could you refuse to obey His Majesty’s orders?” Said a young man who was next to Liu Fei while staring at Nan Gong Ling.
“When did I say that I wanted to disobey His Majesty’s orders?” Nan Gong Ling replied coldly while glancing at the young man. He then said: “Building the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue is a project which I support wholeheartedly. I have no choice but to let a few outstanding disciples go and practice there.
He paused for a moment and then continued in a cold tone: “Besides, since when did you start to think it was good manners to poke your nose into other people’s affairs and make criticisms? A little prince like you… What do you intend to do? Do you want me to call your father, Duan Tian Lang and have him teach you some manners?”
In the Continent of the Nine Clouds, elders had to be respected. Nobles also had to be respected which was especially true of those with high status as they were extremely strong. These days, the Duan Clan had become the Imperial Clan because they were extremely strong. The Duan Clan had become the strongest clan in the entire Xue Yue Country. It wasn’t just a matter of how much territory was controlled, it was a fact that they were the strongest.
However, the Duan Clan still had to humble themselves to the Sects and act politely when speaking with them. Nan Gong Ling wasn’t going to submit himself to a little prince of the Duan Clan. It did not matter to him how strong the Duan Clan was, his sect was not something that could be looked down upon by anyone.
“You… Nan Gong Ling, I will tell my father about this.” said the young man coldly while giving a glare filled with evil intentions.
“Tell him whatever you like.” replied Nan Gong Ling while looking relaxed and not surprised.
“I heard that little Fei Fei came back.” At that moment, a voice came from outside of the room in the temple. It was Protector Bei who had just arrived while striding forward with head high.
