Duan Lingtian's eyebrows raised when he heard the voice.
He wasn't surprised that Vice Commander Qiao Qing Shan wanted to see him.
No matter what, the person he killed was a member of the Iron Blood Army.
"Duan Lingtian, let's go testify for you!"
Xiao Yu's group of three stood up.
"No need. Since the Vice Commander summoned me and didn't order people to capture me, he must have already understood the ins and outs of the matter. I'll be right back."
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled.
"That's true."
Xiao Yu nodded. He wasn't an impulsive person, and he was confused because he was concerned.
Duan Lingtian walked out of the tent and greeted the Iron Blood Army soldier outside. "Big Brother, I'm Duan Lingtian."
The Iron Blood Army soldier glanced deeply at Duan Lingtian.
The shock in his heart couldn't be any greater.
This youth that was almost 17 years old was the Duan Lingtian that killed Yu Hong?
He heard that the youth that killed Yu Hong had a cultivation at the fifth level of the Core Formation Stage.
Not even 17 years old, fifth level of the Core Formation Stage …
Just thinking about it caused his scalp to go numb.
Under the lead of the Iron Blood Army soldier, Duan Lingtian quickly walked into Vice Commander Qiao Qing Shan's tent.
However, after entering, Duan Lingtian noticed that there was no one inside.
"What's going on?"
Duan Lingtian asked the Iron Blood Army soldier that brought him over.
"The Vice Commander might have left at the last moment. Wait a moment."
After obtaining a reply.
Duan Lingtian started to wait, and at the same time, he started to size up Qiao Qing Shan's tent.
As expected of the Vice Commander's tent, it was three times the size of the reserve tent he lived in. Presently, only half of the space was revealed before his eyes, and the other half was blocked by a screen.
The other half should be a place to rest.
Ten minutes later.
Duan Lingtian frowned.
Vice Commander Qiao Qing Shan asked someone to call him over, but he himself disappeared without a trace. What's going on?
Right at this moment.
Duan Lingtian's ears twitched as he sensed something.
Two sets of steady footsteps were approaching the tent he was currently in.
"The person on the left has steadier footsteps than the person on the right … The person on the left should be the vice commander. Could the person on the right be a chiliarch? "
Duan Lingtian guessed.
Whoosh!
The flap of the tent was lifted by the person on the right.
"Lord Vice Commander!"
Duan Lingtian stared blankly at the person who lifted the curtain.
He would never have thought that the 'person on the right', who was weaker, would actually be Qiao Qingshan.
As for the other person …
"Haha! Duan Lingtian, have you been waiting for a long time? "
Qiao Qing Shan laughed and walked in. He lifted the curtain and let the other person in.
The person who entered was an elegant middle-aged scholar. The middle-aged scholar had a smile on his face that made people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.
"Lord Commander!"
Duan Lingtian hurriedly bowed.
The middle-aged scholar was stunned. Qiao Qingshan, who had just put down the curtain, was also stunned.
"How did you know?"
The middle-aged scholar, who was the commander of the Iron Blood Army, Teng Yunhai, looked at Duan Lingtian with interest.
"To be able to make the vice commander personally lift the curtain for you and show such a respectful attitude towards you, isn't it obvious?"
Duan Lingtian smiled.
He was slightly surprised in his heart.
He originally thought that with the vice commander Qiao Qingshan as an example, the commander of the Iron Blood Army would definitely be a burly man …
But he didn't expect that he would be an elegant scholar with an extraordinary temperament.
Just from his appearance, it was impossible to tell that he was the commander of the Iron Blood Army who had bathed in blood and galloped everywhere.
"You being able to guess my identity shouldn't be just because of this, right?"
Teng Yunhai glanced deeply at Duan Lingtian. His wise gaze seemed to be able to see through everything.
Duan Lingtian smiled embarrassedly. "I still can't hide it from the commander … That's right, I heard some clues from your footsteps. I originally thought that the person walking on the left was the vice commander, and the person on the right should be a captain."
Hearing this, Qiao Qingshan couldn't help but be moved.
Teng Yunhai nodded and smiled. "Just from the sound of our footsteps, you were able to discern the difference in our cultivation … I have to say, little guy, you're really not bad."
"Commander, you flatter me."
Duan Lingtian moved to the side and welcomed the two commanders of the Iron Blood Army in.
Teng Yunhai and Qiao Qingshan sat down one after the other.
"Duan Ling Tian, since you're so good at guessing, can you guess why I'm looking for you?"
Qiao Qingshan looked at Duan Lingtian and asked with a smile.
"Vice Commander shouldn't have called me here to denounce me."
Duan Lingtian smiled confidently.
"Haha … interesting."
Qiao Qingshan laughed and looked at Teng Yunhai at the side. "Commander, what do you think?"
"Not bad."
Teng Yunhai nodded with satisfaction.
"Hmm?"
Duan Lingtian was startled, feeling as if he had been betrayed.
As expected, Qiao Qingshan looked at Duan Lingtian again and slowly said, "Duan Lingtian, you killed Yu Hong, and there were many witnesses. He was the one who killed you first. His death was not enough to wipe out his crimes."
"Vice Commander, you shouldn't have finished speaking, right?"
Duan Lingtian smiled and said.
"You're really a smart one. Since you killed Yu Hong, our Iron Blood Army won't make things difficult for you. However, Yu Hong is after all a descendant of the Yu Clan of the county capital. The Yu Clan isn't big, but it isn't small either … If you're willing to stay in our Iron Blood Army and follow beside the commander, the commander will not only protect you and your family from being harmed by the Yu Clan, but he will also nurture you to become the next commander of the Iron Blood Army and lead ten thousand elite soldiers. "
Qiao Qingshan had an expression as if he had Duan Lingtian in his grasp.
Teng Yunhai, on the other hand, noticed that Duan Lingtian's expression didn't change from beginning to end, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Vice Commander."
Duan Lingtian smiled at Qiao Qingshan. "First of all, thank you and the commander for thinking so highly of me. Secondly, I don't care about the insignificant Yu Clan. Lastly, what I want to say is … My ambition isn't in the Iron Blood Army, nor is it in the Crimson Sky Kingdom! "
Qiao Qingshan was stunned, then frowned and said, "Duan Lingtian, don't underestimate the Yu Clan. After all, the Yu Clan is a large clan in the county capital of Swallow Mountain County. The strength of their methods is far from what you can imagine. "
Duan Lingtian slowly shook his head. "Thank you for your concern, Vice Commander. However, I've already made up my mind! "
"A man's ambition is to travel far … I believe that you will surely be able to walk out of the Crimson Sky Kingdom and step onto the stage that truly belongs to you."
At this moment, Teng Yunhai spoke, as if he wasn't the slightest bit angry at Duan Lingtian's refusal to stay in the Iron Blood Army.
"Thank you, Commander!"
Duan Lingtian hurriedly expressed his thanks.
"OK, you can return. Rest well tonight. Tomorrow, the Vice Commander will announce the training content of your Genius Camp. Your true training is about to begin! "
Teng Yunhai waved his hand.
"Lord Commander, Lord Vice Commander, farewell."
Duan Lingtian directly left.
Within the tent.
Qiao Qingshan looked at Teng Yunhai with a puzzled expression. "Commander, I've investigated this Duan Lingtian. His background is clean, and with his natural talent and methods, he's absolutely the best candidate to become the next Commander of the Iron Blood Army … Are you really going to let him off like this?"
"Qingshan, do you think that with his reaction from before, even if we waste our breath, he will stay?"
Teng Yunhai asked.
Qiao Qingshan went silent.
Duan Lingtian's attitude from before was extremely obvious. He wasn't willing to stay in the Iron Blood Army.
"If he doesn't stay in our Iron Blood Army, even if he really obtains the qualifications to enter Paladin Academy, I'm afraid he'll be eliminated by the Yu Clan before even entering Paladin Academy … I truly can't bear to see such a genius fall just like this."
Qiao Qingshan sighed. His words came from the bottom of his heart.
"Didn't he say earlier that he didn't place the Yu Clan in his eyes?"
Teng Yunhai shook his head.
"Commander, don't tell me you didn't see that he was evading … What? Commander, you wouldn't really believe his big words, right? "
Qiao Qingshan had a face full of astonishment.
Teng Yunhai smiled indifferently. "I can see that he has a card up his sleeve. A person can lie with his mouth, but his eyes will absolutely not lie … When he mentioned the Yu Clan, his eyes of contempt already told me that he really has confidence and isn't talking nonsense. "
"Commander, how is this possible … I've already investigated his background clearly. He's a member of the Aurora City's Li family and is from a branch family of the Li family, the Li family of Fresh Breeze Town."
Qiao Qingshan didn't believe it.
"Then do you know who his father is?"
Teng Yunhai's eyes narrowed as he asked.
"His father? I didn't find out … Could it be that his father isn't an ordinary person? "
Qiao Qingshan's mind finally turned around.
"I have an old friend whose appearance is 60% or 70% similar to Duan Lingtian. If I'm not wrong, that old friend married a girl from a remote small family … That girl was also surnamed Li. "
Teng Yunhai slowly said.
"Who is it?"
Qiao Qingshan was curious. He'd followed the Commander for a long time.
If it was an old friend of the Commander, he ought to know.
"Do you still remember that person from the Imperial City's Duan Clan that suddenly disappeared 15 years ago …?"
Teng Yunhai's eyes flashed.
"Commander, you're talking about … Duan Rufeng?"
Qiao Qingshan's gaze focused, and in an instant, heartfelt reverence emerged.
Duan Rufeng, a peerless genius whose name once shook the entire Crimson Sky Kingdom …
An existence that his generation needed to look up to.
After Duan Lingtian left Vice Commander Qiao Qingshan's tent, he didn't stay outside and directly returned to his own tent.
"Duan Lingtian, why did the Vice Commander look for you?"
Meng Quan's eyes emitted curiosity when he saw Duan Lingtian return.
"It's nothing, he just told me that the follow-up training of our Genius Camp will officially begin tomorrow."
Duan Lingtian shook his head as he spoke slowly.
"What?!"
Meng Quan was shocked.
"Shh … Be quiet."
The nearby Lo Cheng said in a low voice.
"Hmm?"
Meanwhile, Duan Lingtian noticed Xiao Yu who was cultivating cross-legged on the bed. "Why is Xiao Yu cultivating in broad daylight …?"
"He's surely been provoked by Yu Xiang."
Meng Quan shook his head and sighed. "In Aurora City, Xiao Yu is an existence that people of the same generation look up to. This time, he was humiliated by Yu Xiang who's the same age as him, so he naturally can't endure it …. It's not strange for him to work hard because of this."
"Meng Quan, I noticed that you talk a lot."
Suddenly, Xiao Yu opened his eyes, and his cold gaze descended onto Meng Quan.
"Pretend I didn't say anything, pretend I didn't say anything …."
