All of a sudden, Duan Lingtian seemed to have recalled something, and he raised an eyebrow.
Big brother?
This grey-clad young man addressed himself as big brother in front of Lu Bai?
"Lu Song!"
Soon after, Duan Lingtian reacted and guessed the grey-clad young man's identity.
In the Lu Clan, the only person who could address himself as' Big Brother 'in front of Lu Bai was the Lu Clan's First Young Master, Lu Song. He was also Lu Bai's sworn enemy and the stumbling block for Lu Bai to become the next Clan Leader of Lu Clan.
That was not all.
"The Lu Clan's Third Young Master, Lu Huai, whom I killed earlier … I heard that he was Lu Song's twin brother!"
Twin brother! He was Lu Huai's biological brother!
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian looked at Lu Song with a hint of vigilance.
"You must be Elder Duan, right?"
Lu Song was not angry when he saw Lu Bai ignoring him. He quickly changed his target and looked at Duan Lingtian with a bright smile on his face.
However, the bright smile on Lu Song's face was extremely dazzling in Duan Lingtian's eyes.
"This Lu Song … He doesn't have a good relationship with his twin brother, Lu Bai?"
Duan Lingtian ignored Lu Song and asked Lu Bai through Voice Transmission.
"Their parents died when they were young, so they supported each other. Naturally, they had a good relationship … To Lu Huai, apart from being an elder brother, Lu Song also played the role of a father!"
Lu Bai replied through Voice Transmission.
Duan Lingtian instantly felt a chill in his heart.
He did not believe that Lu Song did not know he killed Lu Huai.
Even so, Lu Song was still smiling in front of him. This made him feel a chill down his spine. "This Lu Song is an extremely dangerous person!"
Duan Lingtian was almost certain about this.
It was not something an ordinary person could do to act as if nothing had happened in front of the person who killed his brother. Anyone who could do that would be a scheming person.
If Lu Song had wanted to kill him, perhaps he would not have taken him seriously.
However, Lu Song's behavior made him fearful from the bottom of his heart.
An enemy in the open was not scary.
An enemy in the dark was the most terrifying.
"And who are you?"
Duan Lingtian looked at Lu Song and asked despite knowing the answer.
"I'm Lu Song."
The smile on Lu Song's face remained unchanged as he politely responded to Duan Lingtian.
"Lu Song? The Young Master of the Lu Family? "
Duan Lingtian pretended to be surprised.
"Yes."
Lu Song nodded and continued to say, "However, even though I'm the Great Young Master of Lu Clan, I'm nothing in front of you, Elder Duan. Elder Duan, you're a grade one alchemist. Even the Clan Leader and the three Guardian Elders have to be respectful to you."
As he spoke, Lu Song's face was filled with humility.
Duan Lingtian did not pay much attention to Lu Song's flattery. He looked deeply at Lu Song and asked with a smile, "I heard … Lu Huai, the Lu Clan's Third Young Master, is your biological brother?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes and locked onto Lu Song. His sharp gaze seemed to be able to see through everything.
At the same time, his mental power also extended out.
"Yes."
Lu Song nodded. The smile on his face grew wider. He was not angry because Duan Lingtian mentioned Lu Huai.
"Do you know that I killed him?"
Duan Lingtian asked again.
When Duan Ling Tian asked this question, he was shocked in his heart.
This was because he realized that when he mentioned Lu Huai, no matter if it was his eyes or his mental power, he did not notice any fluctuation in Lu Song's emotions.
Even if it was just a tiny bit!
What did this mean?
Either Lu Song did not care about the life and death of his biological brother, Lu Huai.
Either that, or Lu Song had perfectly hidden his emotions.
If it was the former, then so be it.
However, if it was the latter, then Lu Song was just too terrifying.
Through the Voice Transmission that he asked Lu Song earlier, he could conclude that it was impossible for it to be the former. In that case, it could only be the latter. This caused a chill to rise in his heart.
Currently, in his eyes, Lu Song was like a poisonous snake that could easily blend into its surroundings and hide perfectly.
Such a poisonous snake was undoubtedly extremely dangerous and impossible to guard against!
Once it went berserk, it would definitely kill without leaving a trace.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian felt the mental power that he extended out tremble.
Only then did he notice.
Just as his words left his mouth, there was an obvious fluctuation in Lu Song's emotions.
The fluctuation in Lu Song's emotions was extremely faint and disappeared in a flash. However, his sharp mental power could still clearly sense it.
The fluctuation in his emotions contained a bloodthirsty killing intent!
"I know. However, I still have to thank Elder Duan for cleaning up the house for my clan! With Lu Huai's temper, he'll get into trouble sooner or later. It's his good fortune that he died in your hands. "
Lu Song nodded. There was still a smile on his face.
However, when his smile entered Duan Lingtian's eyes, it made Duan Lingtian's hair stand on end.
It was also his mental power that noticed the fluctuation in Lu Song's emotions. Otherwise, he might have been deceived by Lu Song just by looking at it with his naked eyes.
"Then, I guess I've unintentionally planted a willow and the willow turns into a shade … However, you don't have to thank me. It's just a small matter."
Duan Lingtian glanced at Lu Song nonchalantly and said calmly.
"Boy, you're courting death!"
At this moment, a cold gleam flashed in the eyes of the old man behind Lu Song. His aura instantly locked onto Duan Lingtian.
Subsequently, he took a step forward, intending to attack Duan Lingtian.
Whoosh!
However, before the old man could make a move, he was stopped by Lu Song.
"Elder Duan, I'm really sorry … Elder Guan and Lu Huai are very close. I hope Elder Duan can forgive him if he offended you in any way."
Lu Song said apologetically to Duan Lingtian.
When Duan Lingtian heard this, he did not look at Lu Song. Instead, his eyes were fixed on the old man behind Lu Song. The old man had white hair and eyebrows, and he was glaring at him with hatred.
At that moment, Duan Lingtian seemed to have noticed something. A thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
"How interesting."
Duan Lingtian looked at the old man deeply before he shifted his gaze away. He did not bother with Lu Song anymore. After calling out to Lu Bai, he left with Lu Bai.
Only Lu Song and the old man behind him were left standing on the spot. They looked at Duan Lingtian and Lu Bai's silhouettes as they left.
"Young Master, you shouldn't have stopped me! I was very confident that I could kill him just now to avenge Little Young Master! "
The old man said in a deep voice as he stared at the purple silhouette in the distance. His face was filled with hatred.
"Then?"
At this moment, the smile on Lu Song's face had disappeared. It was replaced with indifference.
"Then …"
When the old man heard this, he did not know how to reply.
"You won't be able to live if you kill him! Even if you manage to escape, you're destined to be a fugitive … At that time, where are you going to put me? Or do you want me to be a fugitive with you? "
Lu Song enunciated each word clearly, leaving the old man speechless.
That was right.
He had killed Duan Lingtian. Faced with the enraged higher-ups of the Lu Clan, he could escape to the ends of the earth.
However, the Young Master would be dragged down by him!
After all, his every move represented his Young Master, Lu Song.
"If you kill him, you can either die or run … As for me, even if I continue to stay in the Lu Clan, I won't be able to become the Patriarch of the Lu Clan! The Lu Clan will not allow someone who doesn't care about the clan's interests to be the Patriarch.
"You should be very clear about this."
Lu Song said in a deep voice.
If he allowed the old man to kill Duan Lingtian, even if the Lu Clan did not punish him, the higher-ups of the Lu Clan would undoubtedly think that he did not care about the clan's interests at all.
Duan Lingtian was a grade one Alchemist and the Lu Clan's First Honorary Elder.
If he was killed, the Lu Clan's interests would be greatly affected.
"Young Master, what about Little Young Master's revenge? Are we not going to avenge it? "
The old man said with grief and indignation.
"Not avenge it? How is that possible? He's my younger brother! He's my younger brother whom I watched grow up! "
Lu Song's eyes gleamed coldly. However, he concealed it in just a blink of an eye. His slightly ferocious expression returned to its usual calmness. "However, we can't be rash about this.
We need to think about it carefully. "
The old man's eyes brightened when he heard this, and he replied respectfully.
On the other hand, Duan Lingtian and Lu Bai had also arrived near the mansion of the Lu Clan's Patriarch, Lu Rui. They would arrive at the mansion in a dozen breaths' time.
"Duan Lingtian, you have to be careful of Lu Song … That Lu Song is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He says one thing in the open, and another in the dark! You killed his younger brother, there's no way he would be so magnanimous. He won't let this go so easily. "
Lu Bai looked at Duan Lingtian and reminded him solemnly.
Duan Lingtian nodded.
He had already noticed this without Lu Bai's reminder.
"Lu Bai, the old man behind Lu Song … Do you know anything about him?"
Soon after, Duan Lingtian recalled the old man who was following behind Lu Song and wanted to attack him.
"I only know that the old man's surname is Guan, and people call him Elder Guan … As for his background, I heard he was a servant of Lu Song's grandfather when he was young. Due to his good innate talent, he became a collateral disciple of our Lu Clan.
"Later on, after Lu Song's grandfather died, he followed Lu Song's father … After Lu Song's parents died, he followed Lu Song and Lu Huai and took care of them.
It's said that the old man's strength has already entered the Ninth Level Void Transformation. He's not far from the peak of the Void. His strength is much stronger than many of the elders in our Lu Clan. "
Lu Bai told him everything he knew.
"Ninth Level Void Transformation?"
Duan Lingtian raised an eyebrow when he heard Lu Bai's words. He was shocked. "That old man hid his strength really well … He's obviously a Martial Monarch powerhouse, but he actually told the public that he's only at the Ninth Level Void Transformation."
Earlier, when the old man's aura had locked onto him and was about to attack him, he immediately extended his Spiritual Energy.
He attempted to probe the old man's cultivation base by extending his Spiritual Energy. However, when his Spiritual Energy approached the old man, it seemed to have melted into a ball of cotton and disappeared without a trace.
At that time, he knew.
