The wind howled, shaking the mountains.
Everyone fell silent.
Qin Tian's voice was not loud, yet his words carried an extraordinary determination.
The elders and the sect leader of the Xuan Yang Sword Sect treated the Golden Robed Elder with utmost respect, fearful of provoking him.
Who would have thought that Qin Tian, the one at the center of it all, would display such an attitude?
Neither servile nor arrogant!
"Qin Tian!"
Wu Qingyuan whispered, feeling a sense of foreboding.
If they truly provoked the figure before them, the entire Xuan Yang Sword Sect could face annihilation in an instant.
Did he not realize this?
At that moment, a hand landed on his shoulder.
Qiyun Hai.
"He knows the gravity of the situation."
Seeing Qiyun Hai's gaze, Wu Qingyuan felt a strange sensation in his heart.
Could it be that Qiyun Hai, the esteemed sect leader, was also paying attention to Qin Tian?
Then,
Elder Zhao glanced at him calmly.
"He's the little kid from back then."
Elder Zhao's words were like a stone thrown into a still pond, instantly shattering Wu Qingyuan's tranquility.
The little kid from back then? Could it be?
He suddenly realized something, staring in shock at Qin Tian.
"It seems that deliberately keeping him in the dark was my mistake."
Wu Qingyuan lowered his head, ripples of emotion stirring within him.
"Alright. I, Gong Zang Tian, will give you a chance!"
The Golden Robed Elder turned around, releasing Gong Xueyi, and stepped forward.
An overwhelming aura surged forth, enveloping Qin Tian with a thunderous presence.
In an instant, two brilliant beams of light, including the two figures, appeared hundreds of feet away.
Wu Qingyuan trembled all over.
He didn't want Qin Tian to be harmed.
"With Gong Xueyi here, Qin Tian won't be in danger," Qiyun Hai said calmly from the side.
"True enough."
Several elders nodded in agreement.
“What's your name?”
Gong Zang Tian, shedding his previous demeanor, exuded a powerful aura.
He truly resembled an ordinary old man.
“Qin Tian!”
Qin Tian, somewhat surprised, nodded.
“Do you really love her?”
Gong Zang Tian looked seriously into Qin Tian's eyes.
He was skilled in reading minds; he could tell at a glance whether someone was speaking from the heart.
Unfortunately, he did not notice that there was something slightly off about Qin Tian.
“Love.”
Although Qin Tian only uttered a single word, there was an extraordinary resilience in his crimson eyes that surpassed that of his peers.
“That word sounds light when spoken. But to truly embody it is incredibly difficult. We are both men; there’s no need to elaborate—you understand.”
Gong Zang Tian stood with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing at the young man before him.
The first time he saw Qin Tian and realized he only had the Perfect Meridian Realm cultivation, Gong Zang Tian felt disappointed.
Gong Xueyi was his only granddaughter, who had been by his side since childhood.
Until the direct descendants fell one after another in battle, only this lone seedling remained.
There is a natural affinity between generations.
For these reasons, Gong Xueyi was more important to him than life itself.
Thus, when he saw Gong Xueyi nestled against a young man, his first feeling was discomfort.
Then, upon witnessing Qin Tian's cultivation, his disappointment deepened.
However, as the leader of his clan, he could not be so easily swayed.
The words he spoke were merely a test for Qin Tian, the first of many.
Clearly, Qin Tian had passed this initial challenge with his current performance.
"I will do everything in my power to protect her," Qin Tian said resolutely.
"I have heard those words from many young men like you. Yet, those who spoke them either gave up quietly after trying or perished on this path," Gong Zang Tian remarked, glancing at Qin Tian with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.
"Unless I die, I will never give up!" Qin Tian lifted his head, and in his crimson eyes flashed a determination that sent chills down one's spine.
If these words were heard by others, they would surely mock him for his arrogance.
But Gong Zang Tian was different.
He could see through the hearts of men.
As Qin Tian spoke, he kept his gaze fixed on Qin Tian.
He hoped to see a hint of insecurity in Qin Tian's eyes.
Or perhaps a facade of strength.
Unfortunately,
There was none.
Not at all.
Qin Tian's words came from the heart.
Looking into his determined eyes and his unyielding demeanor even when facing himself,
Gong Zang Tian suddenly understood why his pampered granddaughter Gong Xueyi would choose such an ordinary-looking youth.
However, even if that were the case,
Gong Zang Tian still remained unconvinced about Qin Tian.
He had seen many promising talents.
This world was never short of geniuses.
Too many geniuses had fallen by the wayside.
He did not want his granddaughter to choose someone whose potential could wither away at any moment.
As long as one had not reached their peak, nothing was predetermined.
"I think you may not have grasped my meaning. Bringing you here is not to advise you to leave her. I want you to understand the price you must pay for choosing her."
Gong Zang Tian smiled with interest, glancing towards the distant Dragon Boat.
"On the Dragon Boat, there are three exceptional talents who stand out in the Central Continent. One of them, whom you should have already seen, is that boy in red. His name is Su Yu, a once-in-a-thousand-years Heavenly Pride from the Su Clan of the Central Continent. He mastered Qi at nine, attained divine understanding at ten, reached the Sea of Dao at eleven, and at thirteen, he was half a step into Reincarnation.
His talent, not to mention the Su Clan, is far from being an unknown figure even in the Central Continent. The ancestor of the Su Clan is an old friend of mine. In the past, we agreed that once the next generation had one boy and one girl, they would be married. But bitterly, our next generation consists only of sons. However, this time, it just so happens that there is one girl and one boy.
Gong Zang Tian did not continue speaking.
But Qin Tian already understood his meaning.
No wonder this guy looked at him as if he were a sworn enemy.
The root of it lay here.
"There are two more you might not have noticed. That white-clad youth leaning against the deck is named Xiang Qingshan, a Heavenly Pride ranked third on the Heavenly Ranking from the Xiang Clan of the Central Continent.
On the other side, there’s a young man in green robes who stands out awkwardly from the crowd, named Ye Jingxian. He is ranked third on the Genius List of the Central Plains Tactics Mansion. They both admire Gong Xueyi."
After Gong Zang Tian finished speaking, he looked seriously at Qin Tian.
He wanted to see surprise in Qin Tian's eyes.
He wanted to see confusion.
He wanted to see retreat.
Unfortunately, he was still disappointed.
In Qin Tian's eyes, there wasn't even a hint of fluctuation.
Even after hearing that these three individuals were among the top Heavenly Prides in the Central Continent, he still showed no signs of worry or fear.
"I just want to tell you that the suitors around Xueyi could line up from here all the way to the Central Continent. And among them, not a single one is weak. There are countless Heavenly Prides like those three.
And you are still far from them. Xueyi's talent and bloodline can perfectly inherit all my ultimate skills. In the next seven years, I will do everything I can to elevate her to a height similar to mine.
By then, this great ship will rely on her to continue sailing forward. My time is limited, while your journey has just begun. In the future, Xueyi will undoubtedly become a Peak Powerhouse in the Central Continent. And you, despite your talent, lack a powerful family to support you..."
Gong Zang Tian sighed.
"I know that you truly love each other and genuinely want to be together. For so many years, Xueyi has always listened to me. But this time, she said no for your sake for the first time. What this represents, I believe I understand better than you do."
"If you don't have the strength to match hers, even if you are truly together, you won't be happy. First, you won't be able to protect her. Second, when you face criticism and endless challenges, do you really want Gong Xueyi to stand up for you?"
After hearing these words, Qin Tian's brows suddenly twitched. His fists clenched unconsciously.
Indeed!
Strength.
In this world, the strongest fist prevails.
Without sufficient strength, even if he were to walk alongside Gong Xueyi, he wouldn't find happiness.
Endless challenges.
Endless criticism.
A woman can be with a man who is much stronger than herself.
But a man cannot.
When Gong Zang Tian thought that Qin Tian's pride had been wounded for the first time, Qin Tian suddenly lifted his head. The corners of his mouth trembled lightly as he broke into a brilliant smile.
"Perhaps when I say this, you'll think I'm arrogant and reckless. However, I still want to say it..."
"In less than seven years, I will trample them all underfoot!"
Qin Tian revealed a set of perfectly white teeth.
It seemed like they were discussing a trivial topic.
Gong Zang Tian was taken aback.
He never expected Qin Tian to say something like that.
In his view, this was not merely courage.
More importantly, it was determination.
"It seems you hold a different opinion of me. No wonder. Young people are bound to have their own ideas. Perhaps time will prove who is right and who is wrong between us."
Gong Zang Tian turned and left without a moment's pause.
Young people always possess a sharpness like a blade.
Perhaps, when he had been worn down by reality, he would understand how absurd he was today.
Qin Tian hesitated for a moment before finally speaking up.
"Today, you take Xueyi from my hands, but one day, I will take her back from you. At that time, no one in this world will be able to stop me!"
The boy's voice resonated powerfully.
All the spiritual energy from his Perfect Meridian Realm surged with those words.
In an instant, it enveloped the Xuan Yang Sword Sect and the Eight Hundred Li Mountain Range.
Countless people looked up in shock, gazing at Qin Tian standing in the void.
Even on the Dragon Boat, the two figures raised their heads in surprise at Qin Tian.
The Red-Clad Youth, Su Yu, clenched his fists tightly, resembling a primeval beast.
"This guy is truly shameless!"
Beneath the mountains, countless Inner Sect Disciples and Outer Sect Disciples were astonished.
No one dared to speak.
Even the elders of the Xuan Yang Sword Sect exchanged glances in disbelief.
Only Qin Tian would dare to speak to Gong Zang Tian like that.
“Qin Tian!”
Standing to the side, Gong Xueyi looked at the trembling youth in the distance with shock.
She sensed that at this moment, the young man must feel very dejected.
However, deep within that despair, there was a trace of heart-stirring resilience supporting him.
She believed that one day, Qin Tian would become the Supreme Champion and personally come to propose to her.
Until then, she would wait quietly.
Until that day arrived!
