1726 Are You Worthy?
However, she had excluded Cai Huo and You Changjian and placed herself above them.
As such, Cai Huo and You Changjian started looking at her with different gazes.
She would not have been able to attain her current position or gain the favor of so many members of royalty without the two of them.
Naturally, Cai Huo and You Changjian felt that they deserved credit for getting Yan Ling to where she currently was.
Yan Ling’s eyes were fixed on Qian Yu, and she had no idea that Cai Huo and You Changjian’s gazes on her had changed.
Just as she thought Qian Yu would give in, Qian Yu turned his frigid gaze onto her and spat out. “Yan Ling, you are no different from a clown in my eyes. You’re merely part of one of the middle-class branch families of the Yan family. Your original surname wasn’t even Yan. You were only allowed to change your surname because your talent was recognized.
“I am the Young Leader of the Qian family. You don’t have the right to speak to me based on your family status. Do you think you can compete with me when it comes to talent? Without Cai Huo and You Changjian, your status wouldn’t be any higher than that of Han Qi.
“No matter how many members of royalty favor you, none of them accepted you as their disciple. If Cai Huo doesn’t have the right to speak to me that way, what makes you think that you can?”
If Qian Yu were in a good mood, he might have agreed to Yan Ling’s request to preserve her pride.
Qian Yu also planned on putting his life on the line in the battle.
If he lost, he would either die or be saved by the Goddess of Mercy and lose his position as a Freedom Envoy when he returned, thereby bringing shame to the Qian family.
He still vividly remembered the consequences of his older brother shaming the Qian family.
This was the reason he had flared up when he heard what Cai Huo said.
He had just managed to suppress his rage when Yan Ling said what she had said.
As a result, Qian Yu lost control of his fury and ripped a new one into Yan Ling.
