"Senior Brother Duan, I'm afraid it's him." An ordinary-looking man with squinted eyes followed the man's gaze. He never imagined that he would meet the target of his mission the moment he left the mountain.
"That's right. The Dawn Sky Pavilion said that this is the person who defeated the Xiantian Junior Brother Chen." The man surnamed Duan retracted his gaze.
"Then, should we take action? Senior Uncle Huang has already spoken! We have to bring this person back. "The man suggested. However, the man surnamed Duan raised his hand and stopped him from continuing.
"Let's not act rashly for now. Let's not talk about this person's strength. The white-clothed man beside him is also not to be underestimated. If we act rashly, even the two of us won't be able to take him down." The man surnamed Duan had his own considerations. With his strength, he naturally wasn't afraid of Nie Li. However, the threat coming from Little Head Mo made him feel somewhat restrained.
"With Senior Brother's strength, taking down that white-clothed man shouldn't be a problem." The man with squinted eyes slightly knitted his brows. His Senior Brother was a mid-stage Xiantian Realm expert who was about to break through to the late-stage Xiantian Realm. Why was he still so timid? Was it really like what the others said? After being suppressed by Senior Brother Chen Jiang, he had lost his fighting spirit.
"Then, tell me. With your strength, can you guarantee that you can take down Nie Li?" The man surnamed Duan raised a fatal question, leaving him speechless. When he saw Nie Li's moves earlier, they were all very simple moves. Clearly, he had yet to reveal his trump card.
The man was momentarily at a loss for words. "Let's go. This matter still needs further consideration." The man surnamed Duan stood up. The two paid the bill and walked out of the Forest Residence. "But, Senior Uncle Huang has given orders. The two of us don't dare to disobey." The man knew that he had to bring out his trump card. It was difficult to disobey his master's orders. Let's see if he dared to disobey.
"Don't worry. There's still enough time. This time, I still have to return home to visit my family." The man surnamed Duan didn't care about the man's threat. The two of them didn't speak as they walked side by side, making turns and turns in the Song Capital City.
They arrived in front of a mansion. The mansion's gate was extremely large. There were two stone lions looking at each other in front of the gate. The plaque on the gate had the words' Duan Mansion 'written on it. The man with the surname Duan walked forward and knocked on the door. The person inside opened the door. He was dressed in plain clothes that did not match the luxurious mansion at all. "May I know who you are looking for?" The man poked his head out and sized up the man with the surname Duan.
"I'm Duan Liuyu." "Oh, it's Young Master. After the servant heard the name, he looked as if he suddenly realized something. He hurriedly opened the door and let the two people in. "Senior Brother, you're actually from the Duan Family." The squint-eyed man looked at the huge mansion. He didn't expect his senior brother to be a member of the Duan Clan. This was a famous clan.
"What, are you surprised?" Duan Liuyu looked at the things in the Duan Residence. It still hadn't changed. The sparse decorations and the extra empty space made it look extremely cold and desolate. Everyone thought that the Duan Residence was great, but only when they were in it did they understand the struggle in their hearts.
"That's the royal family we're talking about. Just thinking about it makes me excited," the squint-eyed man said excitedly.
Royal family? They're worse off than beggars. Duan Liuyu said indignantly in his heart. Although the Duan Clan was famous, everyone had only heard of it. After passing through the long corridor, there were empty spaces on both sides. There weren't any flowers, plants, or pavilions.
When he walked to the main hall, there were only a few tables and chairs in the room. They looked a little damaged and should have been from a long time ago. "Find a place to sit first!" Duan Liuyu made arrangements for his junior brother and left.
The squint-eyed man looked around, looking here and there. Suddenly, he heard a series of footsteps and quickly returned to his original place. He sat upright and looked down. "Father, this is my junior brother from the Heng Shan Sect, Sun Long." "This is my father, the current head of the Duan Clan." Duan Liuyu introduced the two of them to each other.
"Hello, Uncle Duan." Sun Long stood up and looked at the man in front of him. The latter was also a famous figure in the Jianghu. Although he was middle-aged, he looked elegant and had a noble temperament. However, there was always a hint of melancholy in his eyes. He always had an easy-going smile, which made people have a good impression of him. Thinking about it, this face would definitely be able to charm many women.
"No need to be so courteous. Come, make a pot of tea." Duan Yi pressed on Sun Long's shoulder and asked him to sit down. After a while, a servant came over with a teapot and a few cups. The cups were a little chipped, and even the teapot looked dirty.
Duan Yi poured a cup of tea for Sun Long and handed it to him. For the sake of etiquette, he raised the cup and drank it in one gulp. The bitter taste filled his mouth, and Sun Long's facial features were wrinkled together. However, thinking that it was too rude, he still thanked him.
"It's just coarse tea. It's fine as long as you don't mind." Duan Yi also chuckled and drank it. He didn't show it, but he knew the bitterness and knew what the tea tasted like. As for Duan Liuyu, he also took a sip. He had been drinking this tea since he was young.
"One can only rise above others after suffering the most hardship." Sun Long looked at Duan Tianya and thought that the Duan Clan had also declined.
"Hahaha, the ancients didn't deceive me." Duan Tianya raised his head and drank the cup. He closed his eyes as if he was carefully tasting the bitterness of the tea. However, only Duan Liuyu could feel the subtle changes in his father's aura.
"For this trip, you and Yu 'er can stay in the residence. Although the Duan Clan doesn't have any delicacies, it's enough to fill Young Hero's stomach." Duan Tianya's amiable and hospitable appearance really made Sun Long have a good impression of him. Compared to his father, his Senior Brother's temper was much worse.
"Thank you, Uncle Duan." Sun Long cupped his hands and thanked him. "You can sit here for a while." Duan Tianya finished speaking and stood up. Duan Liuyu followed behind him. Sun Long didn't care. He just thought that the two hadn't seen each other for a long time and wanted to catch up.
"Why did you come back this time?" As soon as they left the house, Duan Yi put away his amiable smile. The melancholy and coldness between his brows made people feel a little disgusted with his face. Moreover, his tone was so cold that it made people wonder if Duan Liuyu was his son.
"The sect has a mission. Junior Brother Chen Jiang has been killed, so they sent me down to investigate." Duan Liuyu looked at Duan Yi's face and also put away his previous respect. His face was also calm. The two of them were like strangers, speaking indifferently.
"I remember that Huang Tingyi seems to think highly of Chen Jiang. I guess he came down this time to take revenge for you! Since you chose to bring this person home, it means that you can't touch that person for the time being. You have to plan for the long term. "Duan Yi guessed Duan Liuyu's actions.
"That's right." Duan Liuyu straightforwardly admitted it. He didn't need to hide it. He knew that in front of his father, honesty was sometimes a kind of disguise.
"Who is this person that makes you so afraid?" Duan Yi asked. Duan Liuyu's strength was above average among his peers. Aside from those people, there was probably no one else who could make him feel troubled.
"Blood Sea Tyrant Blade, Nie Li." Duan Liuyu said Nie Li's name. Duan Yi was silent for a long time and didn't say a word. After a long time, he burst out laughing. When had Duan Liuyu ever seen his father like this?
"Blood Sea Tyrant Blade, Dawn Sky Pavilion really dares to give him any name. However, this kid's surname is Nie, so he's pretty good." Duan Tianya's lips curled into a smile. There was some reminiscence in his eyes, as if this name reminded him of many things.
"I know what you want to ask, but this kind of thing happened a long time ago. You only need to know that there was once a person who was given the title of Demonic Blood Sea Tyrant. He was the ruler of an era, and also the nightmare of an era. At that time, everyone else was trampled under his feet. However, even eras have times when they fall." Duan Tianya sighed. His tone was a little sad. Obviously, that person had affected him greatly. However, there was still one thing he didn't say. That person's surname was also Nie.
Nie Li shouldn't be related to that person. After all, he was much older than Duan Tianya. He estimated that Nie Li's age could be his grandson. However, that person had died back then. Duan Liuyu silently remembered this name. He knew his father very well. He rarely praised others. Even the famous big shots in the Jianghu were only good or average in his mouth, but this person was someone he looked up to.
"Deal with it yourself. Just don't die." Duan Yi left a simple sentence and left. Duan Liuyu looked at his father's departing figure and also turned to leave.
"Senior Brother, let's go out. I want to see the scenery of the Song Capital." After returning to the hall, Duan Liuyu met Sun Long face to face. The latter pulled Duan Liuyu's sleeve and walked outside.
"Okay." Duan Liuyu looked at him and slightly frowned. However, he didn't show it. Instead, he agreed and the two of them left the Duan Residence. The atmosphere in the Duan Residence weakened a little. It was as silent and cold as hell.
The two of them had a good time on the streets of the Song Capital. They had basically walked all over the Song Capital in an afternoon. The prosperity and worldly affairs of the Song Capital made Sun Long feel incomparably magical. He had been learning martial arts in the mountains since he was young and had never seen a city like this.
"Make way." A noisy voice sounded. Duan Liuyu looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was Pan Shuwen from the afternoon. At this moment, he was followed by a group of guards who looked very arrogant. The guards kept pushing the crowd to make way for Pan Shuwen.
Seeing that Duan Liuyu wasn't giving way, Pan Shuwen carefully sized him up and found that there was nothing special about this person. Just as he was about to teach him a lesson and vent his anger from the afternoon, Duan Liuyu released his aura.
Pan Shuwen seemed to have suffered a setback. He didn't expect to kick an iron plate several times today. Duan Liuyu looked at Pan Shuwen and advised, "Naughty monkey, you should be more honest."
"You are?" Pan Shuwen didn't expect this person to know him and even mention his childhood nickname. After carefully sizing him up, he still couldn't recognize him.
"Duan Liuyu." Duan Liuyu said his name.
"It's you. You came down from the mountain. Let's go. I'm about to go to the Immortal Abode. This brother will invite you. " Pan Shuwen looked like he had suddenly realized something. They were all children of big families and had heard of each other's names when they were young.
"No, I still have my junior brother. Moreover, I have to go back early." Duan Liuyu didn't want to wallow in the mire with Pan Shuwen.
"You're still so afraid of your father. How old are you? Since you don't want to go, then forget it." Pan Shuwen teased and led the guards around Duan Liuyu.
Looking at Pan Shuwen's domineering appearance, Duan Liuyu sighed. After so many years, this person's temperament hadn't changed at all.
He probably wouldn't even know how he died.
