Gu Yunting pouted to argue, but shut up, because she did lose the fight this time.
Joyful events happened one after another, and Qin Zongheng smiled nicely to Gu Tianba, "Clan Qin wins one fight and also loses one. We end in a draw. Old Gu, do you agree with me?"
As it was the best result, Gu Tianba nodded, "Fine, we may choose another day to battle again."
Qin Dong presented Zhenyi Picture to Gu Tianba while seeing his departure, beaming, "Mr. Gu, please take away the picture!"
Amazed, Gu Tianba paused ant turned to Qin Dong, "You…you really want to return it to me?"
Gu Tianba kept silent due to his guilt, albeit his desire of the picture. Qin Zongheng's remarks enraged him but made sense. The picture did not belong to Clan Gu because of Gu Tianba's misconduct. According to the rules in the martial world, the capable possessed rare resources. The monk gave the picture to Qin Dong before leaving, and it was Qin Dong's.
Gu Tianba could snatch the picture back if he was powerful enough. Actually, he was not. Though he could defeat Qin Dong, he was unable to defeat Jin Pingyue and the monk. Besides, Qin Dong cured Gu Yunting, and he was in Qin Dong's debt. How shameful he would be if robbing the picture.
Gu Tianba had to give it up as if scooping out his heart. Unexpectedly, Qin Dong offered to return the treasure to him. Gu Tianba was even in a trance when the picture was thrust into his hand.
Qin Dong made fun of Gu Tianba's astonishment, "Mr. Gu, please keep the picture well. Don't make it robbed again."
Gu Tianba gripped the picture excitedly, "I will keep it intact! Qin Dong, I admire you so much. I won't forget everything happened today. You won't suffer a loss though giving the picture to me!"
Straightforward, Gu Tianba would sacrifice his life whatever Qin Dong asked him to do.
Clan Qin and Clan Gu were strong competitors to each other, albeit not enemies. However, Qin Dong brought subtle changes to them from now on.
The positivity bound the two clans closer, and would exert great influence upon the entire Longyuan.
Qin Zongheng did not prevent Qin Dong from returning the picture to Clan Gu. He could not abandon his principle—be true to himself, for the valuable picture. That was also why Qin Dong stayed in Clan Qin and took its interest into his consideration.
"Qin Zongheng, I'm in your debt!" Gu Tianba flicked a genuine look at him.
Qin Zongheng grinned, "Old Gu, don't be happy too early. Our competition is around the corner. I can get the picture back! You'd better take time to penetrate its profoundness. Otherwise, you don't have the chance anymore!"
"Ha…ha…You think I'll lose? Stop dreaming! Three years ago, I defeated you. So do I now! Yuetao, Yunting, let's go!" Gu Tianba was still passionate though aged, with his estimable volition.
Gu Yuetao looked at Qin Feixiong, "Brother Qin, cheer up! I'll try my best in next competition!"
Qin Feixiong nodded with vociferousness, "I will!"
Gu Yuetao chuckled, spun around to cast a deep glance at Qin Dong, and left.
Impolite, Gu Yunting glared at Qin Dong, snorted and walked away, swaying her little pretty waist.
Qin Feiyan edged towards Qin Dong, whispering, "I'm afraid, Miss Gu has a crush on you!"
