Capítulo 1062: Chapter 1063: Marriage Proposal

Gao Qiu came before Qing Tiancheng and said, “Sect Leader Qing, it’s been a while since we last met, I hope you’ve been well.”

Although Gao Qiu addressed Qing Tiancheng, his eyes were fixed on Qingcheng beside him.

Some time has passed, and in the eyes of this Young Master from the Divine Sword Sect, Qingcheng had become even more beautiful.

Seeing Gao Qiu’s gaze upon her, expressing an unspoken affection, Qingcheng felt inexplicably uneasy.

Due to the close relations between Qingxu Sect and the Divine Sword Sect, Gao Qiu as the Young Master of the Divine Sword Sect frequently visited Qingxu Sect.

Eventually, he became fond of Qingxu Sect’s most beautiful woman, Qingcheng.

Of course, this was known to very few in the Qingxu Sect—only members of the Qing family, former Grand Elder Yuan Bo and his son, and a few elders knew.

However, Qingcheng had never held any fondness for this Young Master from the Divine Sword Sect.

Not to mention, whenever Gao Qiu visited, her father had to treat him with utmost respect, almost like a servant to his master, which made Qingcheng extremely resentful of Gao Qiu.

Thus, when Gao Qiu’s gaze fell upon her, Qingcheng outright ignored him, as if she hadn’t noticed at all.

Yet, Gao Qiu was unperturbed, with a faint smile at the corner of his lips; the colder she was, the more intrigued he became.

Qing Tiancheng naturally noticed Gao Qiu’s gaze at his daughter, but pretended not to see it, and said, “Young Master, what wind blew our esteemed guest here today?”

Gao Qiu said, “I heard there’s been a major event at the Spiritual Void Sword Sect. Lingkong Zhenren was killed, turning the Spiritual Void Sword Sect into the Flying Heaven Sword Sect. And in three days, the new Sect Leader of the Flying Heaven Sword Sect will hold the Sect Leader ceremony.”

Qing Tiancheng immediately understood and said, “So, Young Master has come to Qingxu Sect to attend the inauguration ceremony of the Flying Heaven Sword Sect’s new Sect Leader?”

Gao Qiu, in a manner of seriousness, replied, “Attending the Flying Heaven Sword Sect’s new Sect Leader ceremony is one reason; of course, the other is to see Sister Qingcheng.”

Qingcheng’s expression turned icy, and she said, “Young Master Gao, I don’t need you to check on me, and I’m not anything worth seeing.”

Fearing Gao Qiu’s anger, Qing Tiancheng immediately scolded his daughter, “Qingcheng, do not be rude to the Young Master. The Young Master came to see you out of goodwill; how can you speak like that?”

Qingcheng said nothing, but despite her silence, she greatly disliked Gao Qiu’s persistent attentiveness towards her.

In the past, Qingcheng would have simply ignored Gao Qiu’s existence, but ever since Lin Fei arrived at Qingxu Sect, as she got to know Lin Fei, she became deeply concerned about him.

She was afraid that Gao Qiu’s overly obvious affection towards her would lead Lin Fei to misunderstand her.

“Sect Leader Qing, don’t blame Sister Qingcheng. She hasn’t been rude to me, and I genuinely appreciate her forthright nature.” Gao Qiu appeared exceptionally tolerant, then turned to the Grand Elder Fire Cloud Dragon behind him and said, “Grand Elder, present my gift to Sister Qingcheng.”

“Yes, Young Master,” Grand Elder Fire Cloud Dragon responded.

Then, the Grand Elder Fire Cloud Dragon approached with a brocade box, opening it before the faces of Qing Tiancheng and his family.

The moment the box was opened, a surge of Spiritual Qi burst forth, filling the whole grand hall. A soft milky white glow overflowed from the box, bright as the moonlight, illuminating the dome of the grand hall beautifully.

Qing Tiancheng and his family witnessed a palm-sized white lotus flower blossoming from the box.

This white lotus wasn’t an ordinary lotus; each petal was edged with a gold thread, and a strange fragrance permeated the hall.

Qing Tiancheng’s eyes showed a hint of surprise as he spoke, “Is this the Ancient Sea Snow Lotus from the Dark Ancient Sea?”

Seeing the surprise on Qing Tiancheng’s face, Gao Qiu’s expression turned slightly smug, as he said, “Sect Leader Qing is indeed very perceptive, recognizing the Ancient Sea Snow Lotus at a glance.”

Qing Tiancheng took a moment to regain his composure and said, “It is said that below the ten-thousand-meter trenches of the Pacific Ocean lies the boundless Dark Ancient Sea, which is filled with unspeakable treasures from heaven and earth. Nevertheless, the Dark Ancient Sea harbors unpredictable and unknown dangers, and none of our secret realm sects dare venture into it lightly.”

“The Ancient Sea Snow Lotus is a miraculous ancient lotus from the Dark Ancient Sea. Placing it in a lady’s chamber will keep it fragrant as spring all year long and preserve a woman’s beauty indefinitely. Thus, the Ancient Sea Snow Lotus is a highly prized beauty treasure for women. It’s said that even a sixth-grade magical artifact is not worth a single Ancient Sea Snow Lotus. Young Master, how did you come by such a treasure?”

Despite Qing Tiancheng’s outward politeness toward Gao Qiu for gifting such a rare treasure as the Ancient Sea Snow Lotus to Qingcheng, inwardly he was delighted.

Gao Qiu is the Young Master of the Divine Sword Sect, destined to be its future leader; Qing Tiancheng was quite pleased with Gao Qiu.

To him, if his daughter Qingcheng could marry Gao Qiu, it would greatly benefit Qingxu Sect and Qing Dong in the future.

“Father, I’m not interested in any Ancient Sea Snow Lotus; I have matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving.” Qingcheng said, then left the grand hall.

Qing Tiancheng immediately called after his daughter, “Qingcheng, stop!”

But this time, Qingcheng didn’t stop. She walked right out of the grand hall.

This left a trace of shock on Qing Tiancheng’s face, since Qingcheng had never dared to disobey him; why didn’t she listen to him this time?

Does she truly dislike Gao Qiu that much?

But Gao Qiu could offer her things other men could not.

For Qingcheng’s future, Qing Tiancheng felt he couldn’t allow Qingcheng to act willfully this time.

“Sect Leader Qing, it’s alright. If Sister Qingcheng doesn’t like the Ancient Sea Snow Lotus, I’ll give her other gifts in the future.” Gao Qiu chuckled awkwardly and said.

He had gone through great lengths to procure an Ancient Sea Snow Lotus, hoping to win Qingcheng’s smile, but Qingcheng paid him no heed.

This indeed embarrassed Gao Qiu slightly, and inwardly, he was quietly fuming: Qingcheng, you are just the daughter of a modest sect leader, yet you dare to put on airs before me. If not for your exquisite beauty, I would have slapped you long ago.

Little girl, just you wait; I will make you my woman. I will conquer you.

“Young Master, Qingcheng is immature; I’ll accept the Ancient Sea Snow Lotus on her behalf.” Qing Tiancheng took the brocade box containing the Ancient Sea Snow Lotus from the Grand Elder’s hands.

Upon seeing Qing Tiancheng accept the Ancient Sea Snow Lotus, a hint of joy appeared in Gao Qiu’s eyes. He then said to Qing Tiancheng, “Sect Leader Qing, in fact, apart from attending the Flying Heaven Sword Sect’s ceremony together, I came here today to propose a marriage alliance.”

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Qing Tiancheng and Qing Dong shifted; Qing Tiancheng was overjoyed while Qing Dong furrowed his brows.

Qing Tiancheng struggled to calm himself and said, “Young Master, you’re here to propose?”
