“She is my woman.”
1“So, is there a problem with me answering on her behalf?”
With Zhou Donghuang’s question, the entire crowd became silent.
Luo Qinghan looked at Zhou Donghuang with a complicated gaze, then quickly looked away, her expression returning to its normal calm.
Of course, although she seemed calm on the surface, on the inside, her feelings were tumultuous.
She had never expected that despite the ruthlessness which she had treated Zhou Donghuang in the past, he still stood out to protect her at this juncture.
In that instant, even the Dharma adepts of the Yunyue Sect who had wanted to cause trouble were all scared out of their wits by Zhou Donghuang. They had never thought that Zhou Donghuang would respond to Mo Yitian with such an answer.
“Zhou Donghuang… said that Luo Qinghan of the Jihan Sect was his woman?”
From the leader of the Lightning Sword Sect to the four Valley Heads of the inner sect, to even the ordinary Dharma adepts, all of them now looked at Zhou Donghuang differently, their eyes filled with utter shock.
Just now, when Zhou Donghuang had stepped out, they had felt both confused and somewhat surprised… this Luo Qinghan, a disciple of the Jihan Sect, was Zhou Donghuang’s woman?
At the same time, the crowd from the Jihan Sect and the Tiansong Sect were all equally shocked.
“You said that she is your woman?”
Mo Yitian would never have imagined, even in his dreams, that Zhou Donghuang would say something like that and declare that Luo Qinghan was his woman.
Before Zhou Donghuang could respond, Mo Yitian turned to look at Luo Qinghan intently, his eyes flashing with a glint, “Luo Qinghan, Zhou Donghuang just said that you are his woman?”
Instantly, all the attention was turned to Luo Qinghan.
As everyone watched on, Luo Qinghan glanced at Mo Yitian, then said calmly and slowly, “I, Luo Qinghan, will either remain unmarried all my entire life… but if I do marry, it will be to nobody else but him, Zhou Donghuang.”
In the huge crowd gathered there, besides Luo Qinghan herself, Zhou Donghuang was the only other person who understood the meaning behind what she had just said.
However, to everybody else, what Luo Qinghan had just said was equivalent to saying that she was definitely marrying Zhou Donghuang and nobody else.
Instantly, Mo Yitian’s expression turned ugly, then he turned to glare sternly at Yuan Zheng, a murderous glint in his eyes.
Noticing the cold glint in Mo Yitian’s gaze, Yuan Zheng’s could do nothing but smile sadly. He knew that Senior Mo definitely hated him now. After all, he was the one who had told Mo Yitian about Luo Qinghan but had not told him that Luo Qinghan had already gotten together with someone else.
But Senior Mo had only just found out about that piece of information.
“I originally thought Luo Qinghan was so righteous and above everything, who would have thought that she would clamor for his fame and power so quickly… looks like when she rejected me the last time, it was only because I was not capable or outstanding enough in my martial art skill that she was willing to give herself up to me.”
Yuan Zheng looked at Luo Qinghan again, his eyes filled with disdain and condescension, as if he was looking down on Luo Qinghan for pretending to be so righteous in the past.
“Haha…”
Just when the atmosphere had turned cold and awkward, the leader of the Lightning Sword Sect, Yu Yucheng, looked at Zhou Donghuang and smiled broadly, saying, “Zhou Donghuang, I thought that you were always too busy practicing and had no time to think about things like this that concern your life… I did not expect you to have already laid your hands on this beautiful lady from the Jihan Sect.
“Wonderful, wonderful indeed.”
Yu Yucheng’s words had been intended to give Mo Yitian, the Tiansong Sect disciple, a chance to step down. Mo Yitian recognized his opportunity, and when Yu Yucheng spoke, he took the chance to retreat behind Huang Chunqiu, the leader of the Tiansong Sect, acting as if nothing had happened at all.
However, it was evident to everyone that he did not look too well, as his expression was ugly.
Huang Chunqiu was now awkward too.
After all, what had happened today was surely a result of his disciple, Mo Yitian, thinking too much on his part and acting in a poor fashion. This was clear to all who witnessed it.
Just as Huang Chunqiu was about to change the topic and continue chatting with the leader of the Jihan Sect, Meng Yuping, the group of Dharma adepts from the Yunyue Sect began discussing fearlessly again, as if there was nobody else around.
“My goodness… did that Mo Yitian just go back there just like that?”
“I thought that he would challenge Zhou Donghuang.”
“Exactly. Although Luo Qinghan and Zhou Donghuang are already engaged, but they have not gotten married yet… does he not even have the courage to challenge Zhou Donghuang for her? Is this the talented disciple of the Tiansong Sect? The most outstanding new disciple of the new generation of Tiansong Sect?”
“Didn’t you hear what Luo Qinghan said? She will either marry Zhou Donghuang, or not marry anyone at all. Clearly, no other man besides Zhou Donghuang will have a chance with her.”
“Even if that is the case, he can still challenge Zhou Donghuang to a fight. As long as he defeats Zhou Donghuang, he will gain the respect of everyone after all the embarrassment that he’s suffered today… as long as he defeats Zhou Donghuang, he can definitely proudly ask Luo Qinghan, ‘Is this the kind of man that you are interested in?’”
“You are talking about defeating Zhou Donghuang… what if he is defeated himself instead? Wouldn’t that be even more embarrassing?”
“That’s true. Looks like he does not have the confidence that he will be able to defeat Zhou Donghuang.”
…
The group of Dharma adepts from the Yunyue Sect had already been excited to watch Mo Yitian and Zhou Donghuang battle from the moment that their sect leader had suggested it. Furthermore, they wanted to see what Zhou Donghuang, the most famous new martial art talent of the younger generation in the Hengliu galaxy, was capable of.
The Tiansong Sect Leader had not heeded the suggestion of their Sect Leader, which had disappointed all of them.
Now that this had happened between Mo Yitian and Zhou Donghuang, they began to realize that it might actually be possible to watch the two of them spar with each other. They began to discuss excitedly, speaking in loud voices as if they were unafraid of Mo Yitian hearing them.
The loud discussion among the Dharma adepts of the Yunyue Sect traveled clearly into the ears of everyone from the Lightning Sword Sect, the Jihan Sect and the Tiansong Sect.
Instantly, Mo Yitian, who had only just retreated, became the center of attention once again.
Now, not only were many disciples of the Lightning Sword Sect and the Jihan Sect murmuring among themselves, even among the Tiansong disciples, many of them looked expectantly towards Mo Yitian.
Mo Yitian felt like he was being forced into a corner at that moment.
Finally, to protect his reputation, and due to his confidence in his abilities, he finally looked at Huang Chunqiu and said, “Teacher, I had long since heard that the Lightning Sword Sect has recently produced an extremely talented new young disciple known as Zhou Donghuang. He was at the mid Dharma stage, but has already mastered the technique of Dharma-body integration.
“Now, he has even reached the late Dharma stage. I wish to spar with him,” declared Mo Yitian.
Hearing this, Huang Chunqiu sighed quietly to himself. He was well aware of his disciple’s temper. After hearing the loud discussion from the group of Yunyue disciples, he had already known that his disciple would not be able to resist it.
Since Mo Yitian had already issued this challenge, Huang Chunqiu could only look at Yu Yucheng, the Lightning Sword Sect Leader.
He said, “Sect Leader Yu, our disciple Mo Yitian would like to spar with your talented disciple Zhou Donghuang of the Lightning Sword Sect… may I know if that would be convenient for you?”
“You will have to ask Zhou Donghuang himself,” answered Yu Yucheng.
At the same time, Yu Yucheng then turned to look at Zhou Donghuang.
Now, Zhou Donghuang had already returned to his original spot beside He Mengxi and Da Zhuang.
At this time, Luo Qinghan had just returned to stand behind a group of Dharma adepts from the Jihan Sect, and some other Jihan disciples now tried to come closer to her.
“Luo Qinghan, do you think Zhou Donghuang will agree to Mo Yitian’s challenge?”
“Luo Qinghan, today, Zhou Donghuang could be said to have trampled all over Mo Yitian with your assistance… if he accepts Mo Yitian’s challenge and is defeated, all of that will be gone. Furthermore, even if he does not accept it, he will still lose face.”
“Luo Qinghan…”
Many Jihan disciples who had not been close to Luo Qinghan now treated her more eagerly after knowing about her relationship with Zhou Donghuang.
Previously, Luo Qinghan had just been another disciple of the Jihan Sect. Although her talent was not bad, there were many talented disciples in the Jihan Sect, and an inner sect disciple would not be any less talented than Luo Qinghan.
But now, Luo Qinghan had the new identity as Zhou Donghuang’s fiancée.
Who was Zhou Donghuang?
A talented disciple of the Lightning Sword Sect at the age of twenty-four; he had already reached the mid Dharma stage and mastered the technique of Dharma-body integration… such an achievement was extremely rare in the history of the Hengliu galaxy, and it was previously because of that that Zhou Donghuang was now famous throughout the entire Hengliu galaxy.
Now, from what Mo Yitian had just said, it seemed that Zhou Donghuang had already reached the late Dharma stage at just twenty-six years of age?
Faced with the questioning from so many people, Luo Qinghan only shook her head calmly, saying that she did not know.
Seeing Luo Qinghan refuse to answer, the rest of them now turned their attention to Zhou Donghuang, who was standing within a group of Dharma adepts from the Lightning Sword Sect. Now, Zhou Donghuang had attracted the attention of all the people from all four sects.
“Zhou Donghuang, Mo Yitian of the Tiansong Sect wishes to spar with you… do you accept his challenge?” asked Yu Yucheng, the Lightning Sword Sect Leader.
Just as Yu Yucheng spoke, although Zhou Donghuang did not say a word in response, he rose to the skies, indirectly answering Yu Yucheng.
At the same time that Zhou Donghuang took to the skies, Mo Yitian also flew out and looked at Zhou Donghuang as he said, “Zhou Donghuang, I had long since heard of your extraordinary skills… even in the Tiansong Sect, many people are saying that you are worthy of being compared to me. Now, I want to see if you are really as good as what they say.”
“Compared to you?”
Zhou Donghuang finally spoke. At the same time, his gaze turned cold as he stared at Mo Yitian; his lips curled into a sarcastic smile. “Are you worthy?”
“You!!”
Faced with the unmasked derision of Zhou Donghuang, Mo Yitian’s expression changed completely, and his eyes turned unfriendly as he screamed, “Zhou Donghuang, you are really arrogant, daring to say that I, Mo Yitian, cannot be compared to you… today, I want to see how powerful you really are!”
When they heard Zhou Donghuang’s words, all the people from the four sects were shocked and could easily predict that Mo Yitian would be furious.
“There’s a good show for us!” The group of disciples of the Yunyue Sect all looked on excitedly, awaiting the trouble that lay ahead.
“She is my woman.”
1“So, is there a problem with me answering on her behalf?”
With Zhou Donghuang’s question, the entire crowd became silent.
Luo Qinghan looked at Zhou Donghuang with a complicated gaze, then quickly looked away, her expression returning to its normal calm.
