Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“If Dugu knew the Old Prophet came to see you on his own initiative, he’ll probably be furious!” A wide smile that was uglier than a crying face appeared on Ku Mi’s face as he imagined the Mountainshade Black Market’s Leader Dugu’s angry face.
Duan Ru Feng smiled faintly but did not say anything. In fact, he had also found it peculiar. He had felt exceptionally lucky the first time he encountered the Old Prophet. He was pleasantly surprised when he discovered the Old Prophet was willing to predict his son’s future.
The second time, the Old Prophet came on his own accord in regard to his son. This surprised him even more. He was baffled. What charm did his son have to make a powerhouse like the Old Prophet care about him so much?
Duan Ru Feng came up with a lot of theories in his mind, but they were all somewhat unrealistic.
However, ever since Rong Yuan came to inform him that the dragon clan was searching for his son, Duan Ling Tian, with all their might, his respect for the Old Prophet grew even more.
This was because the Old Prophet had mentioned the dragon clan when he visited him the second time.
Although the Old Prophet did not say exactly what would happen, he did ask Duan Ru Feng to fight for an opportunity for his son to enter the Dragon Cleansing Pool if it was possible. Moreover, he explained the importance of the Dragon Cleansing Pool to the dragon clan. He even said both parties would compromise and make a five-year pact during the crucial moment. The five-year pact must have referred to the agreement he made with Di Shan earlier. Duan Ru Feng had followed the Old Prophet’s advice and did as he was told.
Although Duan Ru Feng did not think his son would be able to defeat Di Jue in five years’ time, he believed in the Old Prophet. He believed in the Old Prophet’s ability to predict the future completely. That was why he did not doubt his words. It was due to this that led to the subsequent event.
After that, Ku Mi also learned about everything that had transpired from Duan Ru Feng. He was also amazed by it. “I’ve heard of the Old Prophet’s ability to predict the future in the past, this time I finally experienced it! Perhaps, when he came to look for you, he’s already known about the relations.h.i.+p between Young Mansion Master and the dragon clan.”
“Lord Mansion Master, are we returning to the Azure Cloud Mansion now?” Ku Mi asked as he looked at Duan Ru Feng.
In his opinion, the Mansion Master should return to the Azure Cloud Mansion now and order a search for the Young Mansion Master.
“We’re not in a hurry to return to the Azure Cloud Mansion.” However, Duan Ru Feng shook his head in response to Ku Mi’s question. “We’ll head to the Greenwave Han Mansion!”
Greenwave Han Mansion!
Ku Mi was baffled when he heard Duan Ru Feng’s words. “Head to the Greenwave Han Mansion?”
“Yes, to the Greenwave Han Mansion. If I’m not mistaken, my other daughter-in-law should be there… We’ll bring her home,” Duan Ru Feng said with a smile.
Although Duan Ling Tian did not mention the Greenwave Han Mansion in the jade token he left on Cloud Continent’s Crimson Sky Kingdom, based on the message he left behind in the voice transmission jade slips, he could guess his daughter-in-law, Li Fei, was at the home of a young miss, Xue Nai, from one of the forces in the Dao Martial Saint Land. Moreover, based on Ku Mi’s words, the people from Greenwave Han Mansion had openly left the Dao Martial Saint Land from the Southside and searched the sea. Coupled with his son’s message, he had guessed the Greenwave Han Mansion was probably looking for his son, Duan Ling Tian.
His son had mentioned he left the Half Moon Island with a girl called Xue Nai, and they were separated due to some unforeseen event. Moreover, according to Ku Mi’s description, the people from Greenwave Han Mansion who came searching around was led by a Beast Tamer and a girl. The girl was probably the ‘Xue Nai’ his son had mentioned.
He came to the conclusion that his daughter-in-law, Li Fei, must have gone to the Greenwave Han Mansion after the Half Moon Island was destroyed.
Therefore, he intended to go to the Greenwave Han Mansion and bring his daughter-in-law home.
“I’ve heard Rou’er mention this daughter-in-law. She praised her every time she spoke about her… I’ll be able to see her for myself this time.” When Duan Ru Feng thought about finally meeting his daughter-in-law whom he had never met before, he was filled with excitement.
…
Naturally, Duan Ling Tian was unaware of Duan Ru Feng and Ku Mi going to the Greenwave Han Mansion. At this time, he was cultivating in his room.
He did not enter the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da to cultivate because he was in a strange environment and also because he would have to follow the Great Elder of Drift Blaze Sect around the sect.
As time pa.s.sed, the sky gradually darkened.
In the evening, the sky was painted red as though it was dyed with blood. It was extremely bright.
“Situ Clan’s Great Young Master. Your old friend is here. Aren’t you going to come out and welcome me?” A voice that sounded duck-like rang from outside suddenly. It contained True Energy, therefore it was clearly heard by Duan Ling Tian, disturbing his cultivation.
Duan Ling Tian could not help but furrow his eyebrows immediately.
Just by listening to the voice, he knew the person did not come bearing good intention.
“Who is it?” After discovering the person came for Situ Hang, Duan Ling Tian walked out of his room just in time to see Situ Hang walking out of his room with a gloomy expression.
Situ Hou also came out from the other room.
“Master Duan.” Situ Hang who had a gloomy expression on his face forced a smile and greeted Duan Ling Tian after he saw him.
“Ther person outside seems to have come for you,” Duan Ling Tian said.
“Yes, it’s a young Sect Leader of a seventh-rate force that happens to be a rival of our Situ Clan. He has always disliked me. I’m sorry this has disturbed you, Master Duan. I’ll resolve this immediately. I promised I won’t let him disturb you,” Situ Hang said as his eyes gleamed coldly.
Situ Hang would not have been so angry if he was here alone since there was enmity between them. This was normal for them. However, he felt extremely guilty because of Duan Ling Tian’s presence. He felt the other party had disturbed Duan Ling Tian’s peace and tranquility.
In Situ Hang’s eyes, Duan Ling Tian was like a senior, and he was someone he respected. For that person to disturb Duan Ling Tian’s peace and tranquility, it was no different from slapping his face.
“I’ll go and take a look with you,” Duan Ling Tian said.
“Alright.” Situ Hang did not refuse. He flew out of the mansion along with Duan Ling Tian and Situ Hou.
Currently, there were two people standing in the air outside of the mansion. One of them was a young man who looked like he was around Situ Hang’s age, and the other person was a celestial-looking old man with white hair and eyebrows.
Unlike the old man, Duan Ling Tian could tell the young man was a rich man’s son based on his fine clothes and haughty manner.
He had never liked this type of rich men’s sons.
“Our rivalry isn’t something new, Feng Hen… Usually, I would’ve let it slide if you’ve yelled like that. However, you’ve disturbed Master Duan today!” Situ Hang looked at the finely dressed young man with a glint in his eyes as he said in a low voice, “You, apologize to Master Duan immediately!”
“Master Duan?”
Although Situ Hang was deathly serious, Feng Hen, the finely dressed young man, merely smirked as he looked at Situ Hang mockingly. Eventually, his gaze landed on Duan Ling Tian. “Is this the Master Duan you mentioned? Are you sure you’re not joking, Situ Hang? No matter how I look at him, he looks like a boy not much older than you. However, you even respect him as though he’s your father. Are you planning to acknowledge him as your father?”
“I didn’t think the Great Young Master would have such a strange fetish… Hahahaha…” Feng Hen said before he laughed uncontrollably. He was being blatantly rude.
“Feng Hen, you’re seeking death!” When Situ Hang heard Feng Hen’s words, he could not endure it anymore despite his good temperament. He growled as the True Energy in his body surged out, intending to attack Feng Hen.
A hint of pride flashed in Feng Hen’s eyes as though he had completed a mission when he saw how furious Situ Hang was.
Although it was fleeting, Duan Ling Tian saw it clearly. He immediately stepped forward to stop Situ Hang from attacking.
Feng Hen could not help but furrow his brows when he saw Duan Ling Tian stopping Situ Hang. He quickly unfurrowed his brows as he continued to mock, “Tsk tsk… Situ Hang, are you going to hide behind your father your whole life?”
Due to Duan Ling Tian’s interference, Situ Hang managed to calm down a little. However, he could not help but get angry when he heard Feng Hen’s words.
“You keep mentioning the word ‘father’… It seems like you really need one,” Duan Ling Tian said as he glanced at Feng Hen indifferently.
“What are…” Feng Hen’s face darkened. He wanted to say, “What are you…”
However, before he could say the word ‘you’, Situ Hang twitched as though he had just received some instruction. He spoke quickly like a machine gun, “Son, say the word ‘you’ for me.”
“You!” Feng Hen blurted out instinctively.
“My son is so obedient.” Situ Hang smiled brightly.
Feng Hen face and eyes turned red when he saw that.
Situ Hang continued to say, “Feng Hen… Oh, I mean, son, listen to your father, and apologize to Master Duan now.”
Situ felt elated at this moment.
How come he did not discover this side of Duan Ling Tian before this?
It was due to Duan Ling Tian’s reminder that he had hurriedly spat out the words to set up a trap for Feng Hen.
Feng Hen even fell into the trap.
“Situ Hang, you’re seeking death!” Feng Hen had never been humiliated like this before, and he was instantly enraged. His piercing aura surged out and filled the air within a 100-meter radius. It seemed as though the s.p.a.ce was about to rip open.
