Fortunately, Quentin Hua never fell in love with her. Otherwise, she might have given up power for him, and in that case, she wouldn't necessarily be happy!
Adjusting her mood, Sophie Qiu looked towards Damien Gray and said, "I know how irrational it is to oppose the Ghostmaster!" Unless absolutely necessary, she would never become Damien Gray's enemy.
Quentin Hua raised his eyebrows slightly and said no more. Since the matter was resolved, it was time for him to leave. Just as he was about to turn away, Sophie Qiu suddenly spoke, "May I have a hug?"
Quentin Hua looked up at her. Sophie Qiu's expression was calm; she simply wanted to put an end to a feeling that should never have existed. After this, she would devote herself wholeheartedly to the path she had chosen, never allowing anyone else to distract her.
Quentin Hua stroked his chin and pondered, "We don't seem to be that close!" For someone who liked him, these words were truly hurtful. But he and Sophie Qiu were indeed not close, so naturally he didn't care whether she was hurt or not.
Sophie Qiu frowned, "Who doesn't know about the Lotus Sect Master's skill with women? Now you hesitate—are you afraid of me?"
"Of course not, I just..." He felt a bit uneasy! Unable to help himself, he frowned. Was he really afraid of Sophie Qiu?
As soon as that thought arose, Quentin Hua scoffed at himself. He had never been afraid of anything since childhood—how could he possibly be afraid of Sophie Qiu? Impossible!
Yet he really did feel a chill down his spine, as if something bad was about to happen.
While he was still in a daze, Sophie Qiu had already reached out and hugged him. But in the next moment, she was instantly bounced away.
Quentin Hua stared in shock as Sophie Qiu was sent flying, unable to process what had just happened. He glanced at his own hands—had he unknowingly mastered some supreme martial art?
No, that couldn't be! He hadn't even touched her, nor had he used any power.
The noisy surroundings fell silent again, but not because of what had just happened—instead, it was due to Morgan Shangguan's arrival.
Morgan Shangguan glanced at the fallen, somewhat disheveled Sophie Qiu, frowned, and looked at her own belly. What a mess! Using her powers now could easily cause irreparable harm.
Quentin Hua looked at Sophie Qiu, then at Morgan Shangguan, and finally at Damien Gray, feeling bewildered. He didn't believe Morgan Shangguan would fall for someone else, but her behavior was truly odd!
She had snatched his Quentin's Pendant before, and now she was attacking Sophie Qiu—anyone would think she was jealous!
Sophie Qiu's veil had fallen off, revealing a pale face. She bit her lip tightly, clearly in pain.
Quentin Hua frowned and asked, "Are you alright?" He took two steps forward, wanting to help her up.
Morgan Shangguan flicked her sleeve, and Quentin Hua quickly dodged back two steps, avoiding her palm strike. He frowned at her, completely confused by her intentions.
Morgan Shangguan glanced at Sophie Qiu, then turned to Quentin Hua and said in a low voice, "Quentin Hua, from now on, if you dare touch another woman, be prepared to enter the palace as a eunuch!"
As soon as those words were spoken, an uproar broke out.
Given the situation, anyone would think Morgan Shangguan and Quentin Hua were involved in something ambiguous! The looks directed at them grew strange. Could these two men really have some unspeakable relationship? There was no known connection between the Cloud Guild and the Lotus Sect!
In reality, Morgan Shangguan was simply helping her precious daughter!
Although the baby was still young, she could sense her seriousness—she truly liked Quentin Hua, so of course Morgan had to support her!
Because she had overexerted herself, the baby had already fallen asleep from exhaustion. Naturally, Morgan Shangguan had to help her deal with her rival in love!
Quentin Hua twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling utterly helpless. "Cloud Guildmaster, isn't this a bit harsh?" Her ambiguous behavior—was she trying to get Damien Gray to chop him up?
Can someone tell him what on earth was happening?
Amidst the whispers, Damien Gray narrowed his eyes at Morgan Shangguan and spoke in a calm voice, "Is the Cloud Guildmaster meddling too much?" As he said this, he glanced at Quentin Hua, his gaze dangerous.
He understood Morgan Shangguan's intentions, but watching such ambiguous behavior still made him uncomfortable!
Quentin Hua felt truly wronged. What had he done to deserve this? Then a thought struck him, and he frowned—could this couple be using him as a pawn in their game?
He had witnessed Damien Gray's cunning, and Morgan Shangguan was no less formidable. If the two of them had set their sights on him, he would be in serious trouble!
He had to admit, this time he really was judging a gentleman with the heart of a villain!
Noticing Sophie Qiu's worsening condition, Damien Gray signaled to Gu Yihan to check on her. He now had to manage Ghost Guild affairs, hunt down hidden enemies, and care for a sometimes unruly pregnant wife—he was swamped. If Sophie Qiu had any issues right now, he would have to find a replacement. In a word: troublesome!
Morgan Shangguan frowned lightly, her gaze landing on Damien Gray, clearly displeased. "So the Ghostmaster insists on opposing me!" The child in her belly was his flesh and blood, yet he was siding with outsiders!
Damien Gray said helplessly, "The Cloud Guildmaster should mind her own business." The children weren't even born yet, and he had already seen how extraordinary they were—no one could bully them. Shouldn't she be more concerned about him?
He was truly helpless, but to others, his helplessness seemed feigned, almost provocative.
Originally, the righteous sects had planned to act as soon as the two arrived, but Morgan Shangguan immediately injured someone, then appeared ambiguous with Quentin Hua, and now was confronting the Ghostmaster—leaving everyone unsure what to do next.
Several people exchanged glances, deciding to wait and see. No one knew what Fiona Yun was really thinking—was she creating a diversion? Even the other evil factions sensed that this Martial Arts Summit was unusual. With the Cloud Guild's power, Fiona Yun surely knew what was happening. Everything she did now must have a purpose!
