Overriding the Heaven

The originally restless mood instantly calmed down.    

She closed her eyes and curled slightly.    

It might be the first time since he could remember that he was able to sleep so peacefully.    

...    

On the morning of the second day, on an open field less than thirty kilometers away from the Shen Family stronghold, Chu Yan saw his clansmen from the Tao Family.    

Although they said that it was a battle between two clans, the members of the Shen and Tao Family families all had a tacit understanding smile on their faces.    

With Shen Polang in the lead, the Shen family brought a total of more than twenty people.    

The number of people that came from Tao Family was about the same, but the three Third level of the Pulse Condensation Stage cultivators from Tao Family were all present, thus the aura of the Tao Family, firmly pressed down on the Shen family.    

Chu Yan stood in an inconspicuous corner among the crowd. From time to time, he would raise his head to look at Shen Qing who was following beside him at Shen Polang's request.    

Chu Yan knew that Shen Qing had gotten up very early in the morning and dressed up.    

Although her movements were not proficient, Shen Qing had to admit that after dressing up slightly, her entire person had become even more exquisite and gorgeous.    

Today, Shen Qing even intentionally changed into a pink-white outfit. At a glance, she looked like a fairy descending from the sky.    

She was the most eye-catching member of the Shen family and also the one who had caused people to take a glance at her before being unable to move their eyes away.    

Arriving at the center of the open space, Shen Polang chatted with the patriarch of the Tao Family for a while.    

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Yan also saw the person who Shen Polang had flattered as the number one person in the young generation of Tao Family — — Tao Xian.    

Tao Xian was tall and handsome, but his eyes were filled with evil intentions as he sized up Shen Qing.    

Furthermore, his gaze would frequently rest on Shen Qing's exposed neck, chest and legs.    

That impatient look was enough to make anyone who saw it feel disgusted.    

After Shen Polang and the patriarch of the Tao Family exchanged greetings, he told Shen Qing to go forward.    

Tao Xian naturally took a step forward and smiled as he greeted Shen Qing: "Sister, I will definitely take pity on you in today's competition.    

After saying those words in front of everyone's eyes, Tao Xian clearly had the intention of showing off. Although Shen Polang's face was a little awkward, he merely laughed, and did not say much.    

"Brother Tao, then let's do everything according to our agreement. If you win, our Shen family and your Tao Family will have a marriage. As for the right to mine the silver pith vein, our Shen family will take 30% and your Tao Family will take 70%." Shen Polang said.    

"Of course, everything is as per our agreement. From now on, our two families will stand guard in Wanxiang Town to help each other." The Tao Family clansmen said with smiles all over their faces.    

As for the Shen family's victory and Tao Family's loss, the two of them did not mention anything. The others did not remind them either and obviously everyone had tacitly acknowledged that today's so-called gambling was just a formality, Shen Qing would definitely lose.    

"Since that's the case, let's not waste any more time. Let's begin." Shen Polang said.    

His anxious expression made it seem as though he couldn't wait to push Shen Qing away.    

Shen Qing's expression did not change, but at this moment, her heart was filled with disappointment.    

When she took a step forward, she turned and looked at Chu Yan who was in the crowd.    

The other party smiled at her. In that instant, Shen Qing felt a lot more at ease.    

Tao Xian, who was standing opposite of him, naturally noticed this movement.    

The tall Tao Xian revealed a look of suspicion, he looked at Chu Yan, and after a moment, revealed a sinister smile, and shot him a threatening look.    

Chu Yan swept a glance across his and his gaze once again fell on Shen Qing's body.    

Naturally, Shen Polang, who had always been paying attention to the movements between the few youths, could not help but stare.    

Seeing that Chu Yan still maintained his cowardly demeanor in the face of Tao Xian's provocation, Shen Polang began to despise him even more.    

He had already made up his mind.    

After today's matter was over, the Shen Family's situation was already set, he did not care about Chu Yan's identity as the disciple of the Shattered Star Pavilion, and directly kicked him out.    

If such a fellow were to expel the Shen family one day earlier, he probably wouldn't have dared to retaliate.    

At this time, Shen Qing and Tao Xian had already arrived at the space between the two families.    

Because everyone believed that it was just a form of competition, no matter if it was the Shen Family or the Tao Family, neither of them deliberately set up any rules, and setting up the stage was even more impossible.    

Thus, the rules of the competition became simple. In front of everyone present, Shen Qing was defeated by Tao Xian, so the competition would end.    

From the start, no one had thought that Shen Qing would have a chance of winning.    

Or it could be as Shen Polang had said: Tao Family would not let Shen Qing win, and neither would the Shen Family.    

Seeing Shen Qing who was dressed up especially for today and looked even more charming than usual, Tao Xian could not move his eyeballs at all.    

Right now, he only wanted to quickly defeat this little beauty and choose a good day to marry this little beauty in front of him home.    

With a thought, Tao Xian suddenly felt his mouth going dry, and a ball of evil fire seemed to rise from within his body.    

After taking a deep breath and forcing himself to calm down, Tao Xian looked at Shen Qing and said: "Little sister, the last time you refused the marriage between me and you, I decided to defeat you in this competition, so that you could sincerely accept it."    

As he spoke, his eyes were full of aggression as he scanned Shen Qing's body. He even swallowed a mouthful of saliva as he spoke.    

"You won't have a chance."    

To Tao Xian's surprise, Shen Qing, who prided herself on her words in the rumors, actually replied him at this moment.    

Even the nearby Shen Polang, upon hearing these words, couldn't help but frown. He felt that the current Shen Qing seemed to be different than how she usually was.    

He turned his head to look at Chu Yan, then shook his head and thought: "With just that brat, he definitely won't be able to affect A Qing in any way, which means it's A Qing's own idea, but she will never understand, what I do, is all for her own good. Marrying to the Tao Family, will not affect her identity as a disciple of the Shattered Star Pavilion, and after we return to the main branch, she can even obtain support from the main branch.    

His gaze once again fell on the two people on the stage.    

Shen Qing and Tao Xian were already prepared.    

Shen Qing remained expressionless as Tao Xian smiled with confidence.    

"Let's begin." An elder of the Tao Family's Second Level of Pulse Condensation Stage impatiently said.    

"Junior Sister, I'm going to make my move." Tao Xian chuckled, he was intending to show Shen Qing his might the moment he made his move.    

But before he finished speaking, he felt a strong current of air rush towards him.    

Shen Qing actually went ahead to launch an attack on him.    

A slender figure actually gave Tao Xian a sense of oppression from the huge wave.    

"Gale Palm!"    

When Shen Qing made her move, Shen Polang, who was not far away, actually stood up from his chair, a look of disbelief flashed past his eyes as he looked at his own daughter.
