chapter 1718: competing to enrage each other? âling han!â a noble and dignified voice suddenly said. ling han looked over, only to see mao dai striding toward him.
ling han hurriedly bowed, and said, âgreetings, lord mao!â he was genuinely extremely thankful toward mao dai, as it was him who had taught him another method of severing the mundane. in ling hanâs eyes, this was a huge favor.
however, mao dai was slightly displeased as he asked, âare you truly going to join the ding clan?â
mao dai couldnât help but feel that this was a shame. after all, he felt like even he didnât have the right to become ling hanâs master. however, like a bright pearl entering darkness, ling han was actually going to join the ding clan? wasnât this an act of self-humiliation?
ling han smiled, and said, âi want to join the ding clan, yet i still have to see whether the ding clan is willing to accept me.â
âwhat does this mean?â
mao dai found this reply to be extremely strange. the ding clan had already opened their ancestral shrine, and they were already about to carve ling hanâs name into their family tree. as such, how could this be fake? moreover, once ling han was bestowed with the surname of ding, he would officially become a member of the ding clan. at that time, no one would have the ability to interfere, regardless of what the ding clan did to ling han.
they wouldnât be in a position to interfere!
ârest assured, lord mao, iâm extremely clear about what iâm doing,â ling han said in reassurance. seaÊá´h thÑ nôᴠefire.ηet website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
mao dai looked at ling han deeply before eventually nodding in reply. he decided that he would be an obedient spectator today.
severing mundane tier grand elders from the duan clan and the long clan also walked over and tried to persuade ling han for one final time. otherwise, once the ceremony began, there would be no turning back.
a junior from the ding clan walked over with an expression of respect, and said, âyoung master han!â
right now, ling han still had yet to officially join the ding clan. thus, even if they were unwilling to, they still had to act welcoming and respectful. regarding how they would treat him later, that was unknown. perhaps the ding clan would forget about their old hostilities, or perhaps the ding clan would immediately kill him.
anyhow, this would be a private matter for the ding clan, and it would have nothing to do with anyone else.
ling han remained silent as he nodded in acknowledgment. he had absolutely no good feelings toward the ding clan, so he couldnât be bothered speaking any nonsense at all.
the person who had greeted him was unfazed as he said, âitâs almost time. please follow me, young master han.â
he led ling han into the ding clan. in just a short while, he would enter the ancestral shrine. this was an extremely serious ceremony, so ling han would naturally need to make some preparations. there was already no time for abstaining from meat or alcohol, but he could at the very least still bathe and burn some incense.
as for the other spectators and guests, the ding clan naturally sent members of their clan to welcome and lead them into the ancestral shrine.
generally speaking, the addition of a measly genesis tier cultivator into the ding clan couldnât have caught the attention of severing mundane tier grand elders. however, ling han was far too outstanding. his battle against the holy son of the black moon sect had ended in a draw, and his battle afterward had more so astounded everyone!
thus, not only did grand elders from the ding clan attend this ceremony, but even mighty figures from the duan clan and the long clan had come. would you look, even mao dai had come, hadnât he? his status was extremely high, and he could be regarded as the number one elite among those below the fourth severance.
ling han followed the junior of the ding clan into a courtyard. here, he took a bath before entering the main room to offer some incense and cleanse his mind.
an hour later, ling han changed into new clothes before opening the door and leaving.
unexpectedly, however, it was ding xiaochen who was waiting for him outside.
âling han!â ding xiaochen said through gritted teeth. he looked like he wanted to swallow ling han alive, and he continued, âyou might have tricked the others, but you canât trick me! youâre definitely up to no good!â
ling han chuckled, and said, âi initially thought you were pig head, but who knew that you also have some imagination?â
âyouâve calculated wrong this time!â ding xiaochen said coldly. âonce you enter the ding clan, youâll become a member of our clan when youâre alive, and a ghost of our clan when youâre dead. if the clan wants you alive, then youâll live. if the clan wants you dead... then you can only die!â
âare you trying to frighten me?â ling han asked with a smile.
âyour fate was already sealed the moment that you stepped into the ding clan!â ding xiaochen said with a humph. âright now, thereâs already no turning back!â
however, ling han remained calm as he said, âno, no, no, please donât misunderstand. i still havenât joined the ding clan yet. moreover, in a while... heh, iâm afraid that the ding clan might not agree to accept me!â
âyouâre nothing but a measly genesis tier cultivator, so what trouble can you cause?â ding xiaochen said dismissively.
ling han shook his head with a sigh, and said, âseems like i was wrong to praise you for having an imagination. your brain capacity is far too small, and itâs probably comparable to that of cockroaches.â
âyou...!!â ding xiaochen glowered at ling han in anger.
ling han smiled, and said, âwhat? you want to fight?â
ding xiaochen forcefully suppressed his anger. he genuinely couldnât challenge ling han. fighting against him? more like being pummeled by him!
âfollow me! itâs time to worship the ancestors!â ding xiaochen flicked his sleeves as he turned around to lead the way. however, he suddenly stopped after walking a few steps. this was because ling han wasnât following him. he couldnât help but snap in impatience. âhurry up and follow me!â
âif i obeyed your orders just like that, how humiliating would that be?â not only did ling han not follow ding xiaochen, but he even sat down instead. âkeep shouting. anyhow, iâm in no hurry at all!â
âperhaps youâre in no hurry, but iâm in a great hurry!â
ding xiaochen was red-faced with anger. it was because he greatly detested ling han that he had volunteered for this task. he wanted to seize this opportunity to abuse ling han. however, instead of angering ling han, he had angered himself instead.
moreover, if they were late, ling han would naturally suffer some punishment. however, would he get off any better?
if he failed to complete such a simple task, what kind of horrible impression would he leave in the elderâs minds?
âling han, donât sabotage yourself!â ding xiaochen was unwilling to beg ling han, so he could only choose to threaten him.
however, there was a hint of ridicule on ling hanâs face as he glanced over.
it was this kind of disdain that almost drove ding xiaochen insane. this was far too contemptuous! it was as if he werenât a human in ling hanâs eyes, but rather a pile of sh*t that wasnât deserving of a second glance!
âling han!â he shouted.
ling han crossed his legs before picking at his ears, and saying, âif you keep barking, iâll start to pummel you. â
was there anything more threatening than this?
âling han, what do you want?â ding xiaochen asked solemnly.
ling han grinned, and replied, âyour words were too hurtful just then, so thereâs trauma in my mind now. i suddenly donât feel like moving.â
âholy sh*t! who was angering whom just then?â
however, ding xiaochen didnât dare to shout again, so he could only say, âfine, iâll apologize!â
âthereâs no sincerity!â ling han said with a shake of his head.
how could he show sincerity?
ding xiaochen gritted his teeth, and said, âsorry for the nonsense i uttered just then. i know youâre broad-minded, so please forgive me.â
ling han shook his head, and said, âiâm extremely petty.â
âf*ck!â
ding xiaochen rarely lost his composure. however, before ling han, he was always facing the risk of becoming a rabid dog who wanted to randomly bite people. he stared at ling han in resentment before suddenly bowing, and saying, âiâm sorry.â
âwhat are you sorry for?â ling han said with a chuckle. âalthough your words were hurtful, i felt like they were fairly accurate. sigh, people have to be upright and not submissive. why did you submit so quickly? whereâs your backbone and courage?â
ding xiaochen was red-faced with anger, and flames were about to burst from his nostrils. he wanted to kill someone.
however, ling han suddenly stood up, and said, âwhat are you standing there in a daze for? hurry up and walk! if we miss the blessed time, can you shoulder the responsibility?â
these words easily defeated ding xiaochenâs anger, and he could only obediently lead the way. before ling han joined the ding clan, he had to play along with him no matter what.
at this moment, he truly wanted to slap himself in the face. even if he wanted to exact revenge on ling han, it didnât have to be today!
he had truly shot himself in the foot.
