Chapter 3608: Not a Misunderstanding?!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After leaving the Tie Clan Village, and during the journey back to Descent Mountain City, Qian Fei frowned as he said to the old man next to him, “Grandpa Qiu, what do you think is going on with that Glorious Heaven Sect’s disciple? I’ve never even seen him before so why’s he looking for me? How did I offend him?”
The old man was Qian Qiu, one of the gods in the Qian family. After receiving Qian Yue Jin’s message, he wasted no time looking for Qian Fei before leaving the Tie Clan Village. Only he and Qian Fei left the village; Qian Fei’s new wife, Tie Yu, the daughter of the head of the second branch of the Tie Clan, did not follow them.
Qian Fei had left his new wife behind because he knew he would have to apologize to the disciple from the Heaven Glorious Sect even if it was just a misunderstanding. He was unwilling to let his new wife see him groveling so he had asked Tie Yu to stay with her family while he returned to the Qian family estate to meet the Glorious Heaven Sect’s disciple.
“I’m not sure as well… In any case, I’m sure it’s just a misunderstanding,” Qian Qiu said as he shook his head, “After all, you’ve seen his portrait before, and you’ve never even met him before.”
“This is really confusing,” Qian Fei muttered under his breath, clearly unhappy.
Upon hearing the displeasure in Qian Fei’s voice, Qian Qiu’s expression turned grim as he said, “Second Young Master, I know you’re unhappy about this matter. However, you must not show your displeasure later when you meet the disciple from the Glorious Heaven Sect. No matter what, you have to keep a smile on your face! The Glorious Heaven Sect is powerful, and the Qian family can’t afford to offend them.”
“Don’t worry, Grandpa Qiu. I’m only showing my displeasure to you. I know how to behave when I see him later. I just have to grovel a little. It’s not difficult at all. After all, I’ve seen many people groveling in front of me,” Qian Fei said, unconcerned. Nevertheless, a small trace of reluctance could be seen in the depths of his eyes. After all, since he was young, he had never had to grovel to another person or curry favor with another person. How could he not feel reluctant at all now that the table had turned?
With that said, Qian Fei naturally knew no matter how reluctant he felt, it was something that needed to be done. He was aware that he could not offend the Glorious Heaven Sect and its disciples. Let alone him, even the other major forces did not dare to offend the Glorious Heaven Sect.
“Second Young Master, I’m glad to hear you’re aware of what needs to be done…” Qian Qiu sighed in relief upon hearing Qian Fei’s words. He had been worried Qian Fei would be stubborn and lost his temper.
Shortly afterward…
“We’re here…”
Qian Fei and Qian Qiu finally arrived at Descent Mountain City and near the Qian family estate. When they finally arrived, apart from the members of the Qian family, they were shocked that the members of the other three major forces were present as well. At this time, the members of the four forces were standing around an old man.
When they drew closer, they finally had a close look at the old man’s face. With that, Qian Qiu’s eyes lit up as he called out, “Ancestor!”
“Ancestor? Which ancestor, Grandpa Qiu?” Qian Fei looked at Qian Qiu, puzzled. After all, the Qian family had many ancestors, but they had already left the family and Descent Mountain City.
“It’s ancestor Qian Shu Huan!” Qian Qiu said through Voice Transmission.
Upon hearing these words, Qian Fei’s eyes lit up as well. “Ancestor Qian Shu Huan? The person who had already become an advanced god 10,000 years ago?!”
Qian Fei had never met Qian Shu Huan before. He had yet to be born when Qian Shu Huan left the family and Descent Mountain City. However, this did not mean he had never heard about Qian Shu Huan. In the Qian family, he knew they had many ancestors like Qiu Shu Huan who had left the city to gain experience after becoming gods. It was unfortunate that those who had left rarely returned. In fact, over the past few thousand years, there was none who had returned. Hence, how could he not be shocked by Qian Shu Huan’s arrival?
“Second Young Master and Elder Qiu are back!”
Qian Fei and Qian Qiu’s arrival attracted everyone’s attention. They turned to look at the duo in unison.
Qian Yue Jin, the head of the Qian family, looked at Qian Fei and asked reproachfully, “What are you waiting for, you unfilial son? Hurry up and explain yourself to Young Master Duan!”
Qian Yue Jin did not even bother to ask Qian Fei to pay respect to the Qian Shuhuan first. He knew that even the ancestor of the family could not stand up against the Glorious Heaven Sect. Moreover, the purple-clad young man in front of them was not just an ordinary disciple; he was the disciple of the Glorious Heaven Sect’s Valley Master of the Moon Shadow Valley. Hence, although it was disrespectful, he knew Qian Shu Huan would blame him for this transgression. After all, matters should be dealt with according to their importance.
While Qian Yue Jin rebuked his son, Qian Qiu had already moved to stand in front of Qian Shu Huan. He bowed and said, “Qian Qiu greets the ancestor!”
“Qian Qiu,” Qian Shu Huan looked at Qian Qiu and said with a smile, “It’s great that you’ve attained godhood. You didn’t let your grandfather down!”
Qian Qiu’s grandfather was from the same generation as Qian Shu Huan. However, after attaining godhood and leaven the family, the former was killed. Up until today, they did not know who the culprit was.
After speaking to Qian Qiu, Qian Shu Huan looked at Qian Yue Jin with a small hint of displeasure. After all, Qian Yue Jin’s words and actions were blatantly disrespectful toward him. No matter what, he was still the ancestor of the Qian family. However, as soon as Qian Fei arrived, Qian Yue Jin did not even ask Qian Fei to greet him. Instead, Qian Yue Jin ordered his son to apologize to a stranger. Did Qian Yue Jin think that the stranger’s identity held more weight than his?
Qian Shu Huan was about to voice his displeasure when Qian Fei had already arrived in front of Duan Ling Tian.
The Glorious Heaven Sect was an emperor-rank sect, after all. Although they did not have Emperors of Gods currently, they still had many Lords of Gods. The Qian family definitely could not afford to offend a sect like the Glorious Heaven Sect. After all, even their many ancestors who had left the family estate after attaining godhood to gain experience outside were not even qualified to join an emperor-rank sect as errand boys unless they had become Kings of Gods at least. They could only join lord-rank forces and become outer disciples who dealt with menial tasks. If they wanted better treatment, they had no choice but to join weak forces like king-rank forces.
Similar to most places, Realms of Gods were places where the strong ruled.
After greeting Duan Ling Tian, Qian Fei asked nervously, “Is there some misunderstanding between us?”
At the same time, the people from the Meng family, the Cloudy Heaven Sect, and the Heaven Martial Sect looked at Qian Fei with gleeful expressions on their faces. All of them were clearly taking pleasure from his misfortune. After all, the Qian family was their rival. They would only be happy if the Qian family was destroyed for provoking a disciple of the Glorious Heaven Sect.
“A misunderstanding?” Duan Ling Tian sneered as he stared at Qian Fei. “I deliberately came here to look for you so there’s definitely no misunderstanding.”
As soon as Duan Ling Tian’s voice fell, Qian Fei paled immediately.
Similarly, Qian Yue Jin’s expression changed drastically as well. As it turned out, his son had truly offended the disciple from the Glorious Heaven Sect.
At this time, a few members of the Qian family had explained the matter to Qian Shu Huan who had been away from the family for quite a while.
“That purple-clad young man is a disciple of the Glorious Heaven Sect.”
“He came to look for Second Young Master today. It’s likely that the Second Young Master has offended him…”
Qian Shu Huan’s eyes widened, and his expression changed drastically as soon as he heard the words of the members of the Qian family. “A-a disciple of the G-glorious… Glorious Heaven Sect?”
At this moment, Qian Shu Huan finally realized why Qian Yue Jin had placed so much importance on the purple-clad young man. As it turned out, the purple-clad young man was a disciple from an emperor-rank force. He was well aware that neither the family nor he could afford to provoke the purple-clad young man even if the purple-clad young man was the most ordinary disciple of the Glorious Heaven Sect.
Qian Shu Huan knew that all of the disciples of the Glorious Heaven Sect would eventually become Lords of Gods at least. He could not even compare to a rudimentary King of Gods so how could he offend those from the Glorious Heaven Sect? He had become a rudimentary god 10,000 years ago and had not seen any progress since. Apart from that, the powerhouse of the lord-rank force he had joined after leaving the family had also told him unless he had a great fortuitous encounter, it would be unlikely for him to become a King of Gods.
For this reason, Qian Shu Huan knew all of them could not afford to offend and provoke this person who had the support of the Glorious Heaven Sect.
At this time, an old man from the Qian family said to Qian Shu Huan, “I heard Master Ye mention that Young Master isn’t just an ordinary disciple of the Glorious Heaven Sect. Young Master Duan is the disciple of Lord Ye Bei Yuan, the Valley Master of the Moon Shadow Valley in the Glorious Heaven Sect!”
“The disciple of Lord Ye Bai Yuan, the Valley Master of the Moon Shadow Valley?” Upon hearing those words, the nervous and fearful expression on Qian Shu Huan’s face was immediately replaced by a confused expression. “Lord Ye Bei Yuan? Didn’t Lord Ye Bei Yuan’s only disciple die 30 years ago? I don’t remember hearing any news about him accepting a new disciple…”
