Chapter 680: That Is Her Blessing
"Why did you beat my son?" Mo Yunlong stared fixedly at Ye Ling and asked.
"He and I have some grievances," Ye Ling said indifferently. "He insulted Zhan Mengqi, so I had to teach him a lesson!"
"Haha, you say he insulted Zhan Mengqi? She didn't show any reaction, did she? If so, shouldn't she have accepted it by now?" Mo Yunlong asked with a cold laugh.
"Besides, whoever my son takes a fancy to, that's his good fortune!"
"Who do you think you are, meddling in my son's and my daughter-in-law's marital affairs? That's ridiculous!" Mo Yunlong said in a haughty manner.
Ye Ling's lips curled into a mocking smile, "Haha, both you and your son are indeed cut from the same cloth, allowing the officials to ignite fires but forbidding the common people from lighting lamps. Haven't your Mo clan done enough of this sort of thing?"
"You're courting death!" Mo Yunlong suddenly bellowed.
How could he tolerate someone insulting his son like this? It was nothing less than an insult to his Mo clan, absolutely unacceptable.
But Ye Ling merely shrugged his shoulders, looking at Mo Yunlong with an indifferent face, "Courting death? If you can kill me, then try!"
"Whoosh!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Tianqi and Mo Yunlong were instantly stunned. Was this kid out of his mind? Speaking so arrogantly on the Mo clan's territory, he must be tired of living!
"Boy, do you dare to face me on the martial arts stage?" Mo Yunlong coldly shouted, his eyes brimming with a murderous intent.
Ye Ling sneered, "You? Not qualified!"
As soon as Ye Ling said this, everyone on the scene was shocked. Had the kid gone mad? To declare on the Mo clan's grounds, in front of so many people, that he was not qualified to challenge the Mo clan's second elder!
Had the kid taken the wrong medicine? Did he not want to live anymore?
However, what surprised the crowd even more was what followed; upon hearing Ye Ling's words, Mo Yunlong suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter full of mockery and derision.
"Haha, what a 'not qualified'! I think you're just bluffing, talking about some 'body of the holy dragon'. I see you as nothing but a complete coward!" Mo Yunlong shouted as he laughed wildly.
Just then, Yan Lao and another elder walked out of the room.
An ambiguous smile hung on Yan Lao's face, as if he enjoyed seeing the people of the Mo clan being put in their place.
But the facial expression of the Mo clan elder wasn't good at all. His eyes were firmly fixed on Ye Ling, filled with intense anger. Clearly, the recent fight between Ye Ling and Mo Tianqi had caught his attention.
"Ye Ling, right? I don't care whether or not you are the 'body of the holy dragon', but since you dared to harm a member of my Mo family, you must pay a heavy price!" the Mo clan elder shouted angrily.
Ye Ling merely responded with a noncommittal smile, "Haha, so only your Mo clan people are allowed to harass others, and no one else is allowed to resist? What's wrong with me hitting him? He insulted Zhan Mengqi and must pay the price!"
"You..."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, the Mo clan elder was almost choked to death. He had never encountered such an arrogantly domineering person before!
"Seize him!" Mo Yunlong yelled through gritted teeth, pointing at Ye Ling.
"Ah, Old Mo, this is a matter for the young folks; we're both getting on in years, why should we meddle unnecessarily?" Old Yan waved his hand to stop Mo Yunlong, then turned to Ye Ling with a warm smile and said.
"Ye Ling, if you want to put an end to this matter, you either apologize to Mo Yunlong or accept his challenge!" Old Yan said slowly.
Ye Ling glanced at Old Yan and the elder from the Mo Clan, his eyes twinkling as he suddenly grinned, "All right, I agree!"
What!
Hearing Ye Ling's agreement, Mo Yunlong was momentarily stunned; he had never expected Ye Ling to accept his challenge so decisively.
Mo Yunlong, who was already known for his fiery temper, exploded upon hearing Ye Ling's words, shouting angrily, "You've got guts, kid; I really want to see just how much weight you can pull!"
Ye Ling had agreed to accept Mo Yunlong's challenge partly because Old Yan gave him an out, and partly, he wanted to test his own strength.
After all, Mo Yunlong was a genuine mid-level Saint realm powerhouse, and Ye Ling didn't think his combat power was inferior to Mo Tianqi's. His good impression of Old Yan was also a reason why he had agreed.
However, with this arrangement, he didn't need to worry too much. After all, Mo Yunlong wasn't like Mo Tianqi, who loved showing off his brute strength.
If he truly intended to fight, it would definitely be in the Mo Clan's arena, as per their customs. Ye Ling was confident that Mo Yunlong wouldn't dare play any dirty tricks on him!
"Tomorrow at noon, see you in the arena!" Mo Yunlong glanced at Ye Ling and coldly finished speaking these words before entering the room with his scarred son.
Watching Mo Yunlong's retreating figure, Ye Ling wore a disdainful smile on his face.
This guy seems really impatient. Well, that's not my fault then!
"Ha ha! Well done!"
Old Yan patted Ye Ling's shoulder and praised him loudly, "Come on, let's head back."
In the Yan Clan Village, when Old Yan relayed the incident to the young people of the clan, their faces immediately showed a sense of relief.
They despised people like Mo Tianqi who bullied others with their power, and now Ye Ling's actions had truly avenged them!
"Brother, your move was cool, but remember Mo Yunlong is a genuine mid-level Saint realm powerhouse. Are you sure you don't need to reconsider?" a young man named Yan Tianyu from the Yan Clan asked Ye Ling.
"No need to think it over. I know my own abilities; if I can't even beat him, I might as well go home and sleep," Ye Ling said with a grin.
"Ha ha, brother, I admire you!" Yan Tianyu laughed heartily.
Then he slapped Ye Ling's shoulder and said, "Come on, let's have a drink tonight to celebrate!"
Old Yan's face showed a slightly serious expression, "Kid, this Mo Yunlong is no simple character; after all, he's the second elder of the Mo Clan. You publicly beat his son, and he won't show you any mercy in the arena tomorrow!"
Old Yan didn't want to see Ye Ling get hurt; after all, this kid was a Dragon Body their three families had awaited for over a hundred years. It would be unfortunate if his life were lost because of this.
"Don't worry, Old Yan. A mere Mo Yunlong doesn't concern me," Ye Ling shook his head and chuckled.
Old Yan looked at Ye Ling and decided not to persuade him further.
What do you think?
