WDQK—Chapter 82: The Woman I Slept With Must Be Mine!

Lin Tian turned his head to look at Lin Langtian, a smile playing on his lips. "Why? The Wang clan has given up their fight for the soul treasure, and you still want to force us to hand it over to them?"

Lin Ke'er and other members of the Lin clan exchanged glances, their expressions shifting slightly in response to Lin Tian's words.

Even though they looked down on the branch family, it was unthinkable to force them to surrender a soul treasure for the sake of the Wang clan.

Could Lin Tian's assertion hold weight? Some in the crowd entertained that thought, their curiosity piqued.

Lin Langtian snapped back, his voice sharp. "It has nothing to do with the Wang clan! As the law enforcement elder of the Lin clan, you have provoked me multiple times, and I will not let this go! Now, I will arrest you and take you to the clan ancestral hall for punishment!"

"If you hadn't stood up for the Wang clan and provoked me, how could we have arrived at this situation?" Lin Tian replied calmly, unfazed by Lin Langtian's anger. "As for your plan to take me back to the clan ancestral hall, the involved party cannot judge right from wrong, and I refuse to accept this punishment."

"The clan will determine who is right and who is wrong at the clan meeting in two years!"

Lin Langtian glared sternly at him. "It's not up to you!"

Gathering Yuan force in his palm, he lunged forward, prepared to grab Lin Tian.

In a flash, Lin Tian ducked behind Ling Qingzhu, using her presence as a shield.

"Asshole!"

Lin Langtian's fury mounted; he could only recoil from Ling Qingzhu. His hand slammed into the open space next to him, sending tremors through the stone hall, nearly causing it to collapse.

Ling Qingzhu hesitated for a moment but chose to stand her ground.

"You can only hide behind women?" Lin Langtian spat coldly, his expression darkening.

Lin Tian merely smiled. "Whatever you say."

"I'll wait for you at the clan meeting in two years!" Lin Langtian shot a chilling glance at Lin Tian before taking a deep breath and departing quickly.

Observing this, the other members of the Lin clan followed him out, a murmur of disbelief reverberating through their ranks.

Before they left, Lin Ke'er cast one last glance at Lin Tian, her expression a mix of concern and curiosity.

"Let's go!"

Ling Qingzhu's expression remained impassive, but a chill lingered in her voice as she spoke to Lin Tian.

After her command, she moved ahead.

Lin Tian called for Lin Dong and followed her.

Meanwhile, Qin Shi and the younger members of the Qin family exchanged incredulous glances, leaving the scene with puzzled expressions.

Outside the ancient tomb, on a secluded mountain peak, Ling Qingzhu regarded Lin Tian with a calm yet unreadable expression.

Lin Dong, standing behind Lin Tian, detected the tension hanging in the air. He scratched his head awkwardly. "Brother Lin Tian, Miss Ling, I just remembered something urgent I need to attend to. I'll take my leave now."

He felt it would be inappropriate to stay and witness Lin Tian face potential repercussions after Ling Qingzhu defended him.

Without waiting for a reply, Lin Dong mounted Little Flame and swiftly made his exit.

"Ahem, Miss Qingzhu, I sincerely apologize for what just happened. Lin Langtian is a traitor who must be dealt with." Lin Tian attempted to bridge the silence, his voice tinged with concern.

"Additionally, the Wang clan has its eyes on me. I truly had no choice but to resort to drastic measures!"

Ling Qingzhu replied coolly, "Now that we are alone, we can discuss this matter without distractions."

Lin Tian maintained his composure, despite feeling a twinge of anxiety. "How can I be an opponent to you, Miss Qingzhu? I simply used this as an excuse to escape. I know you're upset. If you want to teach me a lesson, then go ahead. I'll accept whatever punishment you deem necessary."

He closed his eyes tightly, feigning defenselessness while keeping his senses alert.

If she intended to merely hit him, he would allow it. But if she sought to kill him, he wouldn't just sit idle.

Ling Qingzhu's cold gaze swept over Lin Tian before drifting to the horizon of white clouds and verdant mountains. A fleeting, almost imperceptible fluctuation flickered in her eyes.

After several moments, Ling Qingzhu returned her focus to Lin Tian, her voice steady. "Your strength is too weak."

Lin Tian exhaled softly, relieved that the confrontation had not escalated. "I admit that I am weak right now. But the future is filled with possibilities. Perhaps one day, I will be strong enough to impress you!"

"Two years from now, remember to surpass Lin Langtian before you boast!" Ling Qingzhu stated lightly, a hint of skepticism evident in her tone.

Hearing this, Lin Tian felt renewed determination surge within him. He opened his eyes, focusing intently on her.

"In two years, I will defeat him. If you don't believe me, we could make a bet."

Ling Qingzhu met his fervent gaze, her expression momentarily wavering. She turned her head slightly, her eyelashes fluttering before she replied, "That's your business! I will choose not to kill you this time, but you must agree to one condition."

"Miss Qingzhu, please speak," Lin Tian implored, his intensity unwavering.

Ling Qingzhu stated firmly: "The matter of the ancient tomb must remain a secret. Do not spread any news about it. Treat it as if it never happened!"

Lin Tian remained resolute, his expression unyielding. "I will not mention the tomb to anyone. However, I will never forget it!"

"You are seeking death!" Ling Qingzhu's frown deepened, her tone icy. "Speak like that again, and I will kill you on the spot. Don't think I won't!"

"The consequences of our relationship becoming public knowledge would lie not just with you, but with the Lin clan as a whole!"

"You're not foolish; you understand what actions are wise and which are not. Some things, no matter how strong your will, are unattainable. As a man, know your limits!"

Lin Tian locked eyes with Ling Qingzhu, his resolve unwavering. "I understand your warning, and I won't act recklessly! However, when I am powerful enough, I will stand before you again and remind you that the woman I have slept with must be mine!"

His bold declaration caused Ling Qingzhu to stiffen, shock rippling through her delicate frame.

The nuances of her intricate expression beneath the gauze revealed a slight shift in her emotions.

In response, Lin Qingzhu unleashed a sharp palm strike aimed at Lin Tian.

"Bang!"

Lin Tian was sent careening backward, crashing against a towering boulder, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Ignoring the pain, he rose, defiance etched on his face. "That day will not be far away!"

"This kind of nonsense will only go unpunished once! I have shown you kindness; if you go further, I will truly kill you!"

Ling Qingzhu turned her head slightly, struggling to hold Lin Tian's fiery gaze, a flicker of uncertainty flashing in her eyes.

"Lin Tian, I hope you are not so weak when we meet again! A true strong man never relies solely on words!"

Her light voice echoed across the mountaintop as the green lotus light surged around her, transforming into a brilliant green luminescence that flickered out of Lin Tian's sight.

"Haha, you still showed mercy." Lin Tian stood up, glancing in the direction Ling Qingzhu had departed, rubbing his chest with amusement.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Lin Tian sensed a violent energy wave emanating from not far away down the mountain.

One of the auras belonged to Lin Dong...
