35 Identity Exposed

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Because of Mo Qingkuang's crazy actions, almost no one dared to challenge his arena. But there were very few challengers who wished to go up to him. Including Lin Yang and Song Qian.

After Mo Qingkuang's provocation, they no longer held back their attacks. They did their best against all their opponents, regardless of their cultivation level, to vent the anger in their hearts.

At dusk, Mo Qingkuang, Han Yan'er, and the others returned to the Misty Rain Manor to gather.

They stared at Mo Qingkuang as if they were looking at a monster.

"Kuang Qing, did you have any grudge against Lin Yan?" After a long time, Han Yan'er finally spoke hesitantly.

Mo Qingkuang's eyes turned sharp, scaring Han Yan'er so much that she took a step back.

After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, "Her name isn't Lin Yan, but Chu Yanran. She's a disciple of the Origin Sword Sect."

"Okay. So, she's a disciple of the Origin Sword Sect. But, you don't have to be so ruthless to her!" Gu Hongyi said with some dissatisfaction.

In all honesty, Mo Qingkuang did not slap hard. It was just that the place where Chu Yanran was injured was rather special. Her pretty face had been slapped beyond recognition.

The face was the front of everyone's beauty, and seeing this scene, they also felt a lingering fear.

"Wasn't she the young woman wearing the flower wreath in the Flower King Mausoleum?" Tang Yu asked. He had quite a deep impression of Chu Yanran when she saw her there at that time. He wouldn't forget her so easily.

"Yes,"

"Do you have a grudge against her?" Han Yan'er asked again.

The only person she would've believed Kuang Qing could hold a grudge against from the Origin Sword Sect was Song Qian. Not only that, Kuang Qing had even taken the initiative to find trouble with the other man. At most, Zhuang Fan could be the next logical candidate for his grudge because he deliberately blocked his exit.

From what she could remember, Lin Yang, who had benefited from the fight, shouldn't have had any conflict with Kuang Qing.

Mo Qingkuang shook his head, "I'm a little tired. I'll go rest first. Everyone, do your best tomorrow."

After saying that, he left the four of them, who were looking at each other, to walk toward his room.

....

Back in his room, Mo Qingkuang was a little depressed. He asked in a self-deprecating manner, "Ancestor, am I a hot-tempered madman?"

Mo Fan floated out of the ring and sighed, "You're still young, don't let hatred get to your head. You sought out Lin Yang for revenge, but assaulting a woman to provoke him is not something a man would do."

Mo Qingkuang suddenly became agitated, his eyes red, "But I hate her too! If it weren't for her, Lin Yang and I wouldn't have interfered with each other. If not for her, I wouldn't have lost the disciple recruitment competition and my reputation. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have left my hometown and hidden my name to seek survival in the Central Plains!"

Mo Fan floated in the air and looked at him silently.

Chu Yanran was one of the reasons that led to Mo Qingkuang's downfall, but it wasn't the main reason. The main reason was because he, the author, had arranged this plot.

It would be difficult to erase such hatred regardless of who it was. However, the winner was always the king, and the loser was always the bandit. In the original storyline, Lin Yang was the king. Now, Mo Qingkuang's fate had changed because of Mo Fan's appearance. He had a chance to be the king too.

"I understand your feelings, but I hope you can understand. If you don't want to get rid of this inner demon as soon as possible, you won't be able to go far in the future."

Mo Qingkuang scratched his hair fiercely, not knowing what he was doing.

He panted heavily, and the scenes in the arena kept flashing in his mind. Lin Yang's anger and helplessness, Chu Yanran's shock and helplessness, and his own madness and excitement at that time.

Yes, the crazy revenge brought great pleasure, but afterward, he felt a sense of fear.

At least at this moment, he was afraid. The Mo family's generous conditions had only nurtured him into a spoiled brat, not a scum. Deep down, he was a good person.

He had not stopped reflecting after being reminded by Mo Fan. His back was covered in cold sweat all the way until the end of the arena.

Fortunately, the crazy move shocked the other challengers below the stage, and with the addition of Kuang Qing's reputation, no one challenged him again.

Otherwise, he would not even be able to deal with a first-grade martial master in his dejected state.

"You have to remember, martial artists fight for luck, not anger! The Heavenly Sword is the righteous path. It could not be snatched away through despicable means! Lin Yang is the chosen one of this generation. If you want to snatch his luck, you should defeat him head-on!" Mo Fan said sternly.

"I, your descendant, know my mistake!" Mo Qingkuang's entire body was trembling from Mo Fan's shocking warning. He knelt in front of Mo Fan and swallowed his saliva.

[Ding… Side quest unlocked: Seize the martial arts champion.]

[Mo Qingkuang has entered the top 100 of the martial arts examination. Seize the martial arts champion.]

[Mission Details: Host, help Mo Qingkuang defeat the original protagonist, Lin Yang, and obtain the title of the top scorer of the Tianxuan Kingdom Martial Arts Examination.]

[Mission reward: Host will obtain a part of the resurrection clues.]

[Achievement Reward: 500 Heaven Defying Points.]

Mo Fan was shocked when he saw the system notification.

Clues to resurrection? It seemed that this martial arts champion was a must.

....

In a room in a hotel in the capital city, the smell of medicine was pungent. A woman with a face covered in gauze was lying on the bed and crying silently.

Lin Yang sat beside Chu Yanran's bed and held her hand tightly.

"Yanran, don't worry. I'll tear Kuang Qing into pieces and avenge you!" Lin Yang said hatefully through gritted teeth.

"Brother Lin Yang, will I become ugly?" Chu Yanran's tears rolled down uncontrollably, wetting the gauze around her eyes.

"No, no! I've given you some medicine. You'll definitely recover!" Lin Yang quickly said, "Don't cry. Your tears will wash away the medicine."

"Alright, I won't cry, I won't cry," Chu Yanran said, but her tears still fell.

Suddenly, the Alchemist Saint's voice filled with endless shock sounded in Lin Yang's heart, "Lin Yang! I know! I know who Kuang Qing is!"

"Who is he? I don't care who he is, I will kill him!" Lin Yang roared in his heart.

"Lin Yang, think about it carefully. Kuang Qing had extraordinary strength and talent. He could have easily defeated Chu Yanran, so why did he humiliate her like this?" The Alchemist Saint asked.

"I don't know. Yanran is kind-hearted and has never made enemies with others. Kuang Qing must be trying to mess with my mind through Yanran!"

"But he has no enmity with you, so why should he disturb your state of mind?"

"I don't know. I've always kept a low profile, so I don't have such enemies."

"I have a bold guess. Kuang Qing might be someone we don't even imagine!" The Alchemist Saint paused and said with some difficulty.

"He has the wind attribute and is about your age. He has a deep grudge against you and Chu Yanran. Think about it carefully. Who could it be?"

'Wind attribute… Similar age… Has a deep grudge against Yanran and me?'

"Think about it again. What alias did you use to participate in the martial arts examination?" The Alchemist Saint reminded him again.

"My alias? Yang Lin. Hmm?" Lin Yang suddenly seemed to have grasped something.

'My name is Lin Yang, and my alias is Yang Lin. So, Kuang Qing might be an alias. If I turn around Kuang Qing's name…!'

"Qingkuang!"

"Mo Qingkuang!"
