Nie Fen looked at his grandfather as well, when he noticed that the atmosphere seemed ominous.
"Are you going to do it, or should I?" The old man glanced at Duan Ling Tian with a deep expression. The ends of his mouth were smiling; it was as if he was handling everything with his own two hands ….
Nie Yuan and his son were even more curious, as they were wondering what mysteries Duan Ling Tian and the old man were talking about.
"Senior Marquis, why don't you do it?" Duan Ling Tian was quite embarrassed for being exposed by such a cunning old fox like him.
"If it wasn't for my common sense that far exceeded that of ordinary people, I was worried that even I wouldn't be able to see …. Needless to say, your disguise method is truly brilliant, Brother Ling Tian." The old man's eyes narrowed, and he lightly smiled as if he was talking about an insignificant matter.
Brother Ling Tian?
Disguise?
Nie Yuan and his son were not stupid, so they immediately reacted. There was only one young man who could make the old man call him "brother," and that was the mysterious young man, Ling Tian, who was the only one, who arrived at the Divine Might Marquis Estate two months ago and refined the poison healing medicinal pill for the old man .
"Little Tian …. Brother Ling Tian on that day was actually you ?!" Nie Yuan also noticed that this nephew of his had physical properties and a voice similar to the purple-clothed youth with the usual appearance from days ago…. Instantly, a surprised expression appeared on his face.
"Is that really Brother Ling Tian?" Nie Yuan was stunned as well and was a little in disbelief.
"Uncle Nie, Brother Nie, it's me. I didn't know the relationship between Uncle Nie and my father before, and I hope you can forgive me for any offense that might have happened." Duan Ling Tian could not help but smile apologetically. It was truly like the words when the flood flowed past the Dragon King Temple and their own family members did not recognize each other.
"Brother Ling Tian, what are you talking about? If it wasn't for you, my old life might not have lasted much longer." The old man shook his head and sighed with a complicated look.
He never imagined that the young man who refined medicinal pills curing poison for him was actually the son of his own son's best friend, Duan Ru Feng, long ago.
“Senior Marquis, I am not worthy of being called a brother by you.” Duan Ling Tian smiled bitterly. Previously it didn't matter because he hadn't acknowledged Senior Marquis as a relative before this, but now that he knew about the relationship between Nie Yuan and his dead father, he didn't dare to be arrogant anymore. If his mother knew, she would definitely not let him go!
“Yes, Dad, Little Tian is right.” Nie Yuan returned to his senses and looked at Duan Ling Tian before laughing happily.
The shock his nephew brought to him came in an unceasing wave.
An 18-year-old ninth-tier Core Formation martial artist!
An 18-year-old ninth-grade alchemist!
No matter which halo floated above it, they were each enough to cause his name to shock the entire Crimson Sky Kingdom and cause everyone to look at him…. Moreover, these two halos were now on this young man at the same time.
"Ru Feng, if you were still alive, you would probably laugh yourself awake from your sleep, right?" Nie Yuan sighed in his heart.
"Then I will call you Little Tian from now on, and you call me Grandpa Nie. How's it?" The old man smiled as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.
“Kakek Nie.” Duan Ling Tian sighed in relief and smiled at the old man.
Nie Fen stood to the side and looked at Duan Ling Tian, unable to return to his senses. The shock that Duan Ling Tian gave him was simply too great!
Under the invitation of the Marquis family, Duan Ling Tian stayed at the Divine Might Marquis Estate to eat.
"Little Tian, is your mother also in the Imperial City?" Ask Nie Yuan.
“Ya.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.
"Are you all ... returning to the Duan Clan?" Nie Yuan seemed to have thought of something as he asked this.
“No.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head.
"Then you two ..." Nie Yuan was confused.
“I bought a courtyard house in the city center, and our family lives there,” Duan Ling Tian said, smiling.
"You killed Duan Ling Xing and revealed strength at the ninth level of the Core Formation Stage. With your current natural talent, the Duan Clan should have sent someone to invite you back, right?" Nie Yuan's gaze flickered, as he was very knowledgeable about the way the great clan worked.
The natural talent that Duan Ling Tian displayed was enough for the Duan Clan to get off their high horse and tie him up.
"Uncle Nie, you predict like an Envoy! The Duan clan did send someone to become an envoy, but I refused." Duan Ling Tian spoke in a very relaxed manner, and there was no fluctuation in his mood when he spoke of how he rejected the Duan Clan.
"It's good that you rejected them, because that Duan Clan actually forced a widowed mother and her son away! Now let them regret it!" Nie Yuan did not have a good impression of the Duan Clan. "My State Divine Might Marquis isn't small; why don't you and your mother move? Not many people in the Imperial City dared to act rashly here!"
As he finished speaking, Nie Yuan had a face full of confidence.
“Uncle Nie, I'm used to my own yard house, and I don't want to trouble you.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head and smiled as he politely rejected Nie Yuan's goodwill.
"Little Tian, you killed Duan Ling Xing, so Duan Ru Lei wouldn't let it be so easy …. Are you and your mom safe in that yard? Do you need me to send someone to protect you?" Nie Yuan was a little worried.
“I'll send you out.” Nie Yuan stood up as well and sent Duan Ling Tian out of the Divine Might Marquis Estate with Nie Fen.
The guard soldiers outside the main gate of the Divine Might Marquis Estate could not help their disciples from constricting. Who the hell is this young man? He could actually make the Marquis and his son personally send him….
“Uncle Nie, Brother Nie, I'll go now.” Duan Ling Tian bade the two of them goodbye before his body moved like a spirit snake, rushing to the end of the road before disappearing.
"Dad, I never imagined that Uncle Ru Feng's son would be more heaven-defying than him!" Only when Duan Ling Tian's figure disappeared before him did Nie Fen sigh.
"A ninth level Core Formation martial artist is 18 years old, and a ninth grade alchemist …. Moreover, his disposition was even more tenacious than that of Brother Ru Feng all those years ago! And most importantly of all, after knowing the relationship between her father and me, she seemed to want to avoid ill will by not willingly accepting my help, as if she was very afraid of being indebted to me. "Nie Yuan laughed bitterly. "This kid, these years have been really hard for him."
"Killiness?" Nie Fen's face froze for a moment. "He helped Grandpa cure his poison, so it looks like we owe him more …."
Duan Ling Tian made some circles within the city, and only after he was sure no one followed him did he return home.
He still sighed a little with emotion as he recalled what happened today. He still had the heart to use the Divine Might Marquis Estate in the past, but now that he knew the relationship between his late father and the Divine Might Marquis, he was still alive, he had instead dissolved all thoughts of using the Divine Might Marquis Estate.
Although most of the difficulties he was facing right now would be easily resolved with the tip of a knife once he had the backing of the Divine Might Marquis Estate, he was unwilling to be like that.
His views were not limited to this little Crimson Sky Kingdom, and in the future he would leave the Crimson Sky Kingdom to head to a much wider world …
At that moment, it was impossible for him to have an existence like the dependable Divine Might Marquis Estate. So he now took all the difficulties he faced and made them a test for himself ….
He would rely on himself to handle everything! And not getting help from anyone else! Only when he himself was strong was he really strong!
Of course, Duan Ling Tian was not a stubborn person, and if he really needed to use his ace card, the Divine Might Marquis Estate, he would use it appropriately.
Duan Ling Tian had just returned when the three beautiful women in his house came to greet him with faces full of worry. His mother asked him first. "Tian, why are you coming home late today?"
Duan Ling Tian smiled lightly. "Mom, I was asked to have dinner by Uncle Nie."
"Uncle Nie?" Li Rou did not react for a moment.
"Divine Might Marquis of the Divine Might Marquis Estate, Nie Yuan," Duan Ling Tian said.
"Sister Nie Nie?" Li Rou was surprised, then a faint smile appeared on her face. "Have many years passed, and he had already inherited the title of Divine Might Marquis …. It's so nice that he could invite you when he hears about you."
Even Li Rou knew that this son now was someone whose name had spread throughout the entire Crimson Sky Imperial City, to the extent that it could be said that not a single soul did not know him.
The next ten days passed peacefully.
Other than the Duan Clan sending people to wait outside the Paladin Academy to convince Duan Ling Tian with countless promises and then repeatedly being rejected by Duan Ling Tian …. Duan Ling Tian had not found any special event during these ten days.
The second master of the Duan Clan, Duan Ru Lei, and the fifth prince of the Imperial Family seemed to have completely disappeared within a day.
Towards dusk, after bidding farewell to Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun, Duan Ling Tian did not return home, but rather walked towards the Estate.
He pulled out the invitation that someone had ordered to send to him and put it in his pocket.
As he passed through a small alley.
Suddenly.
"Hiss hissing ~"
"Hiss hissing ~"
Two small heads protruded out from the long arms of Duan Ling Tian. They were small black pythons and small white pythons. They were currently flicking their tongues as they moved their eyes to stare at Duan Ling Tian, and the golden and silver horns on their heads were gleaming with a gleam of light ….
"You two, obey!" Duan Ling Tian returned the two pythons to his sleeves before continuing.
For the sake of security, she had especially brought Little White when she left the house today. Thus, it was equivalent to him having two fourth level Nascent Soul bodyguards. Moreover, with Little White and Little Black's speed and small size, even fifth level Nascent Soul martial artists would die in their hands if the martial artist were a little careless.
Although vast, his estate seemed simple and unadorned from the outside.
The garden is near when …
"Go!" A loud shout echoed from the distance, followed by a deafening wave of horse hooves that touched the ground….
Duan Ling Tian looked up, and what he saw was a blue-clothed young man who was whipping his Ferghana Horse while hovering. The goal is the plantation as well.
"Hmm?" Duan Ling Tian's face lowered his head, when he realized that when this person noticed him, that person not only did not slow down, he did not slow down, he instead zealously whipped the Ferghana Horse to attack directly towards Duan Ling Tian ….
