Cultivation—Stand above the Heaven Chapter 176

"Xu Yaoting!"

Qiu Yunchong had been struggling to hold back his anger and feint a civilized demeanor — he exerted himself to impress Duan Lengyan.

Nevertheless, he burst out a shout as Wandong's sarcasm finally shook off his disguise.

"Xu Yaoting. Do you know the reason why I stand on ceremony with you" It's only because of the status of your dad and grandpa! Or else, I could have long brought you to justice instead of mincing words. If you are aware of that, buzz off! Otherwise, I would sort you out right here. No one would be able to save you then, be it your dad or your grandpa!"

"Qiu Yunchong, there is no need to threaten me like that! I'm not afraid at all! I'd rather you act on that. Then people can tell who is in the right and who in the wrong. I'm sure, it will bring troubles to your dad Qiu Wanli rather than mine."

"Sniffy bastard! How dare you call my dad by his name?"

Wandong sneered, "Isn't that how it is supposed to be used? Otherwise, why bother to have a name? Qiu Yunchong, don't change the subject. We're talking about the Tianbao Mansion and how it ruthlessly kills the Qingyun citizens in the Qingyun Empire. Don't go any further!"

"The Tianbao Mansion had long signed a protocol with our court. The Tianbao Mansion has full autonomy in punishing any troublemakers in whichever manner it sees fit. It's entirely out of the hand of the court. You know that is also an item of our laws. Dare you go against that?"

"Humph. That is literally bullshit! A disgrace to the Qingyun Empire! Bet you dad was the one who signed the protocol with the Tiezhan Empire?"

"So what? You are nothing but an untitled commoner. It's none of your business! You'd better off messing about as a dandy! That's what you are supposed to do!"

" Every man alive has a duty to his country! Indeed, I'm only a regular Qingyun commoner. But I'm loyal to my empire with full-on integrity! Conversely, some so-called distinguished generals kiss the ass of the enemy at the cost of sacrificing his own people! They turn a blind eye to their own empire's interests and their own emperor! That sort of guys don't deserve messing about as dandies! They are supposed to be killed right away to soothe the indignant masses!"

That was a splendid tit-for-tat confrontation! Wandong spoke sternly out of a sense of justice with awe-inspiring eloquence. His statement even brightened up Duan Lengyan's eyes.

Qiu Yunchong crimsoned out of dreadful humiliation. He fought back, teeth gritted.

"Xu Yaoting, how dare you! How dare you malice me!"

"Are you kidding? Did I make any reference to you? I was only talking about certain generals! Why bother to play a pigeon-holing game? Are you afraid to show your true colors?"

"You..."

Qiu Yunchong twisted his face, simply lost for words.

Wu Qiujun knitted his eyebrows on seeing that. He didn't expect that Wandong was such a hard nut to crack. He even drove Qiu Yunchong up the wall.

Duan Lengyan let out a sigh — her intuition proved right again.
