"Second Elder, you…" Qiu Mu Qing was perplexed when she saw Second Elder Qiu Zhi who was usually arrogant kneeling in front of her. There was a hint of fear and anxiety in her eyes. Her reaction was only normal. After all, Qiu Zhi was the second strongest person in the Qiu Clan. He was only second to the Grand Elder. He was even stronger than the Clan Leader of Qiu Clan. The person whom even her father, Qiu An Ping, was wary of was currently kneeling before her.
"Miss Mu Qing, from today onwards, I'm your dog!" Qiu Zhi vowed before Qiu Mu Qing could even reply. "In the future, I'll bark at anyone Miss Mu Qing points at without any hesitation! If you don't believe me, Miss Mu Qing, I can swear on the lightning penalty oath!" As soon as he stopped speaking, he p.r.i.c.ked his finger and a drop of blood floated in the air. Qiu Zhi spoke the vows as the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation sounded accordingly.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Nine claps of thunder resonated. Qiu Zhi could no longer go back on his words unless he wanted to die. Based on Qiu Zhi's action, it was obvious he was afraid of death.
Qiu Mu Qing was already shocked when she heard Qiu Zhi said he would be her dog. When she saw him swearing on the lightning penalty oath, she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Second Elder, you… You don't have to do that!"
Qiu Zhi was the Qiu Clan's Second Elder. Qiu Mu Qing had always been very respectful to him. Someone like that had sworn on the lightning penalty oath to be an obedient dog. How could she accept this in such a short time? It was good enough that she did not get a heart attack!
"Miss Mu Qing, I've already sworn on the lightning penalty oath. From today onwards, I'm your slave!" Although not much could be seen on Qiu Zhi's face that was covered in blood, his voice was filled with conviction.
"Miss Qiu, since he wants to be your slave, let him be… You'll just have one more person to order around in the future," Duan Ling Tian said to Qiu Mu Qing.
Qiu Zhi's performance had been very satisfactory, therefore Duan Ling Tian's anger toward him had subsided as well.
"Duan…" Qiu Mu Qing was about to speak when she heard Duan Ling Tian's words. However, she remembered she was supposed to keep his name a secret. She quickly changed her words as she said, "Brother Li Feng, I have enough maids and servants…"
Duan Ling Tian cut in and said, "You mean you have enough people to do your bidding?"
"Yes." Qiu Mu Qing hesitated but eventually nodded. She did not know why Second Elder Qiu Zhi was so afraid of Duan Ling Tian, but she did not feel comfortable with him being her servant.
"If that's the case, there's no point in sparing his life."
After hearing Qiu Mu Qing's words, Duan Ling Tian nodded and turned to look at Qiu Zhi coldly.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Just as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking and looked at Qiu Zhi coldly, Qiu Zhi panicked and began to kowtow at Qiu Mu Qing as he begged, "Miss Mu Qing, please… Please take me in! I beg you! I beg you!!"
The current Qiu Zhi was completely devoid of arrogance. He only wanted to become Qiu Mu Qing's slave so he could live. Even if it was humiliating, he would still be able to live.
"Mu Qing, take him in," Qiu An Ping quickly said after he regained his senses. When he saw Qiu Zhi's wretched state, he felt vindicated. He was not surprised at Qiu Zhi's behavior since he understood how Qiu Zhi felt. Duan Ling Tian's strength was obvious to him after all. There were only two choices left for Qiu Zhi. He could choose to die or be a slave to his daughter, Qiu Mu Qing!
"Father…" Qiu Mu Qing was stunned by her father's words. She did not think her father would persuade her to accept Qiu Zhi as her slave as well.
"Mu Qing, your Brother Li Feng is no ordinary man… He did so much for you so you should appreciate his efforts!" Qiu An Ping said to Qiu Mu Qing through Voice Transmission.
No ordinary man! Although Qiu Mu Qing was unaware of Duan Ling Tian's strength, she knew he was extraordinary. If he was an ordinary person, how could he easily kill Qiu Gang Yi, the Second Master of Qiu Clan? How could he make the Qiu Clan's Second Elder Qiu Zhi kneel down to beg for mercy and request to be her slave?
From the beginning to the end, the Grand Elder of Qiu Clan who was the strongest in the clan only stood at the side and watched silently. It was obvious now. Even the strongest person in Qiu Clan, the man she respected a lot in the Qiu Clan, did not dare to breathe loudly in front of Duan Ling Tian!
