Chapter 122: A Large-Scale Family Recognition Scene
Just then, a graceful figure in a black cloak and silver mask ran out from the Clear Sky Clan's resting area. "Let go of my Brother Hao!" she shouted sweetly. "You're not allowed to insult him!"
"What did I insult him about, little sister?" Qin Xuan glanced at the young girl and immediately recognized her as Tang Yuehua.
"Who are you calling 'little sister'?" she pouted. "I'm Brother Hao's sister."
"Oh," Qin Xuan said, looking back at Tang Hao. "It seems our so-called 'top genius in a hundred years' is nothing special. He even needs his sister to beg for his life."
"You're talking nonsense!" Tang Yuehua argued.
"Yuehua, go back now!" Tang Hao reprimanded.
"No," she said stubbornly. "He just showed killing intent towards you. If I leave, he'll kill you."
Qin Xuan glanced at her system panel.
[Daughter of the Clear Sky Clan Master, Tang Yuehua. Martial Soul: Ruyi Ring. Innate Domain: Noble's Ring. Spirit Power: Rank Nine. Talent: ???. Affection: 55 (Dislikes)]
Bind, he thought.
[Ding! Binding successful. Congratulations to the host for successfully binding the goddess Tang Yuehua.]
"Didn't your Brother Hao show killing intent towards me?" he asked her. "When he hammered at my head just now, he showed no mercy at all."
"I..." Tang Yuehua was speechless.
Just then, Tang Xiao walked over. "Yuehua, come back with me."
"No, not unless he lets go of Brother Hao!"
"You say let go, and I let go? Wouldn't that make me lose face?" Qin Xuan said. "Unless you say you are the Clear Sky Clan's once-in-a-century trash." The last sentence was directed at Tang Hao.
"Isn't Your Second Majesty a bit too overbearing?" Tang Xiao said, his face grim.
"What if I am?" Qin Xuan scoffed. "Is your Clear Sky Clan not overbearing? Challenging me by name, refusing to admit defeat, then sending a young girl to mediate? Is this what you call the 'World's Number One Clan'?"
"Your Second Majesty, how exactly can you let my Hao'er go?" an old voice echoed. It was Tang Tian.
"Either admit defeat, admit you're a piece of trash, or a coward," Qin Xuan said, looking at him. "Then, perhaps, I can let him go for the sake of your precious little daughter."
Tang Tian, though angry, knew he couldn't provoke Qin Xuan. He looked to Qian Xunji, only to find him enjoying the show. Helpless, he could only tell his son, "Hao'er, admit defeat."
"No, Father! I haven't even had a chance to unleash the true power of the Clear Sky Hammer! I'm not willing!" Tang Hao gritted his teeth.
"It seems you still want to fight," Qin Xuan said mockingly.
"That's right."
"What if you lose again?"
"Then I'll be convinced."
"Truly hopeless," Qin Xuan said, turning back to Tang Tian. "Clan Master, it seems your precious son is beyond saving. Take my advice: let me help you kill him, and while you're still able, have another one."
"Your Second Majesty, please tell us what you plan to do," Tang Tian said in a deep voice.
"Nothing much," Qin Xuan smiled. "Your Clear Sky Clan and my Spirit Hall are old friends. Strictly speaking, Tang Hao should call me 'uncle' his whole life. Naturally, I won't make things difficult for my nephew. He just needs to call me 'uncle' after losing to me. That's not too much, is it?"
"Pfft," a chuckle escaped from the stands. "Your Second Majesty is right! Losing and calling him 'uncle' isn't too much!" The speaker was Hu Yanzhen, the young master of the Elephant Armored Clan.
"Right, right! Tang Hao, you good-for-nothing, hurry up and call him 'uncle'!" With the first jeer, a second followed, and soon the entire competition had turned into a large-scale family recognition scene.
"Did you hear that, my good nephew?" Qin Xuan said with a smiling face. "Even Clan Master Tang Tian has agreed."
"Bah! Who are you calling 'nephew'?" Tang Hao's temper flared. "If you lose, then what?"
"Then I'll reluctantly be your brother-in-law," Qin Xuan chuckled softly, speaking only loud enough for the Tang siblings to hear.
"Bastard! Big Brother, quickly take Yuehua away!" Tang Hao roared. He leaped backward as his seventh spirit ring lit up, instantly activating his Clear Sky Avatar.
