After parting ways with Xiao Yu and Luo Xi, Duan Lingtian threw some silver and silver to Xiong Quan and sent him to stay at an inn.
He returned to the Li clan Estate alone.
"Duan Lingtian?"
On the way, many Li Clan disciples looked at Duan Lingtian as if they'd seen a ghost.
Duan Lingtian has returned?
Oh my god, he actually returned from the devil's Genius Camp!
For a time, the entire Li Clan was in an uproar.
The matter of Duan Lingtian going to the Iron Blood Army's Genius Camp had long since spread throughout the Li Clan, so many people knew.
But they never imagined that Duan Lingtian would be able to return alive.
What did returning alive represent ….?
Everyone understood.
It represented that Duan Lingtian had obtained the qualifications to enter Paladin Academy!
Paladin Academy, the most sacred existence in the Crimson Sky Kingdom, was so far out of reach to every single Li Clan disciple.
Now, someone from their Li Clan had actually obtained the qualifications to enter Paladin Academy ….
This was undoubtedly a piece of exciting news!
In the quiet courtyard, a graceful and beautiful young girl was practicing her sword. As the tip of her sword flashed, traces of icy cold aura were emitted ….
Suddenly, the young girl withdrew her sword and stood there. She glanced at the two little pythons on her wrist and sighed. "Young Master has already left for a year and a month, why hasn't he returned? Little Black, Little White, do you miss him? "
"Of course they don't miss my Kerr."
Right at this moment, a familiar voice entered the young girl's ears, causing her delicate body to involuntarily tremble as she slowly turned around.
"My Kerr has grown up."
Duan Lingtian looked at the graceful young girl before him. The young girl had grown a little taller, and the childishness on her beautiful face had faded a little ….
A girl changes eighteen times between childhood and womanhood, nothing could surpass this!
"Young Master!"
The young girl's eyes were slightly red. At this moment, she'd forgotten all the unnecessary formalities and swiftly moved with graceful steps, charging towards Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian opened his arms and hugged the girl. Smelling the fresh fragrance of the girl's hair, he said softly, "Kerr, I'm back!"
The girl nodded, unwilling to leave Duan Lingtian's embrace for a long time.
How she wished this moment could last forever …
Creak!
At this moment, the door of a nearby room opened.
"Tian 'er is back?"
A radiant and beautiful woman slowly walked out with a trace of excitement in her eyes …
"Mother, I'm back!"
Duan Lingtian looked at the woman, a gentle light flowing out of his eyes.
The young girl was so shy that she left Duan Lingtian's embrace. "Ma … Madam!"
"Silly girl, don't be shy."
Li Rou shook her head and smiled.
"That's right, Kerr. You're my fiancée. What's there to be shy about?"
Duan Lingtian added.
A year had passed, but his mother Li Rou hadn't changed much. She was still as beautiful and moving as before. She didn't look like the mother of a seventeen-year-old boy at all.
"Scoundrel!"
Suddenly, an excited voice came from outside the courtyard.
Duan Lingtian turned around and saw a hot figure running in. She ran straight into his embrace and pounded his chest. "You rascal, you didn't even come to see me when you came back. If I didn't hear about it from others, I wouldn't have known that you were back."
"Little Fei 'er."
After not seeing each other for a year, Li Fei had become more mature. She was constantly emitting her charm, causing Duan Lingtian's little brother that had been silent for more than a year to have a reaction.
Li Fei also felt it. Her face was red, and only then did she realize that Kerr and Li Rou were beside her. She hurriedly left Duan Lingtian's embrace.
"Aunt Rou, Little Sister Kerr."
Li Fei greeted Li Rou and Kerr. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and hide in it …
"Tian 'er, you've been on the road all day. Are you hungry? Mother will go prepare some food for you. "
Li Rou went into the kitchen and busied herself.
Kerr also followed in.
At this time, Li Fei looked towards Duan Lingtian. "Are you …"
"Going to see Grandfather, right?"
Duan Lingtian interrupted Li Fei's words, as if he could see through Li Fei's thoughts.
Li Fei lightly nodded her head.
"Of course I want to see him. After not coming back for more than a year, I also miss Grandfather … Furthermore, you are already mine. I naturally want to be filial to Grandfather with you."
Duan Lingtian held Li Fei's hand and squeezed her palm.
Seeing Li De again, Duan Lingtian did not know if it was his misperception or what, but when Li De saw him, he actually let out a sigh of relief, as if a huge stone had been lifted from his heart …
Could it be that he was worried that something would happen to him in the Genius Camp?
Duan Lingtian did not think too much about it.
"Grandfather."
Duan Lingtian smiled to the old man.
"It's good that you're back. What do you plan to do in the future?"
Li De asked.
At this time, Duan Lingtian noticed that Li De's eyes had an extra trace of anticipation.
"Grandfather, I plan to leave in a few days. This time, I plan to bring my mother, Kerr, and little Fei to the Imperial City … Grandfather, you come with us."
Duan Lingtian spoke of his plans.
Just as the Iron Blood Army's Commander, Teng Yunhai, had said, if he dragged his family and rode a carriage to the Imperial City and stopped to rest on the way, it would take almost a year's time.
So, he didn't plan to stay long this time.
"I won't go. I'll stay in the Li family for the rest of my life."
The old man shook his head.
"Grandfather, if you don't go, then I won't go either."
Li Fei pouted her lips and acted like a spoiled child.
"Fei, you've grown up and aren't the little girl of the past. Grandfather believes that Ling Tian will treat you well. Even if you leave, can't you come back and visit grandfather when you have time? Don't worry, grandfather isn't old enough to need someone to serve him. “
The old man's face was filled with doting love.
"Grandfather."
Li Fei's eyes were slightly red.
Duan Lingtian's gaze was always on the old man's face. He kept feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
"Grandfather, let's eat dinner together tonight."
Glancing at the darkening sky, Duan Lingtian said to the old man.
"Okay, I'll come to your house for a meal today."
The old man laughed. "I can ask you about the training in the Iron Blood Army's Genius Camp. I'm very curious about the training in the Genius Camp as well."
Tonight's dinner was especially lively.
Besides the old man who was interested in the Genius Camp, Kerr, Li Fei, and Li Rou were all very interested as well.
Duan Lingtian then told them about his experiences in the Genius Camp. Apart from some of the more dangerous things, he told them everything else.
When he talked about the deaths of Meng Quan and Lo Cheng, Duan Lingtian let out a long sigh.
"In life, everyone will eventually die. In life, there is no lack of separation between life and death. It's good to be more open-minded … Moreover, you've already helped Lo Cheng complete his wish. Even if he knows in the underworld, he should be able to rest in peace."
The old man had experienced many things and had the most right to speak.
"Grandfather, don't worry. I'm still open-minded about this."
Duan Lingtian nodded his head.
"Ninety-eight people passed the Genius Camp exam, but only seven people survived … The Devil Genius Camp really lives up to its name."
Li Fei sighed.
"Mother, you and Kerr should pack up for the next two days. I've decided to leave for the Imperial City in three days."
After finishing dinner and sending off the old man and Li Fei, Duan Lingtian said to Li Rou.
Li Rou nodded her head. She was already prepared, so she wasn't surprised.
Then, Duan Lingtian started to tease the two little pythons. "Little Black, Little White … I haven't seen you for more than a year. Has your strength increased? Don't tell me you're still in the same place? "
As if they understood Duan Lingtian's words, the two little pythons proudly raised their heads and nodded their heads at Duan Lingtian.
At this time, Duan Lingtian noticed that the horns on Little Black and Little White's heads were almost completely revealed.
"It seems that you've also improved a lot."
Duan Lingtian could guess from the changes in the two little pythons' appearance that their strength had increased …
The increase in a vicious beast's strength was usually accompanied by a change in appearance.
This was the experience of Samsara Emperor Wu.
The next morning.
As soon as he finished eating, an unexpected guest arrived at Duan Lingtian's house.
Patriarch Li Ao!
"Duan Lingtian, congratulations."
Li Ao had a brilliant smile on his face.
"Thank you, Patriarch."
Duan Lingtian replied with a light smile.
"This is a small token of appreciation from our Li Clan … I hope that when you enter Paladin Academy in the future, you won't forget that you're a member of the Li Clan."
As Li Ao spoke, he passed a large stack of silver bills to Duan Lingtian.
"Patriarch, I'm not a person who forgets his roots … Actually, you don't have to be so courteous."
Although Duan Lingtian said this, he still extended his hand to receive the silver bills. After weighing them in his hand, he realized that these silver bills were at least 2,000,000 silver.
He naturally understood Li Ao's thoughts. Li Ao wanted to rope him in early and make him submit wholeheartedly.
In this way, if he became famous in the future, the Li Clan would be able to rise to the top with him.
"This money is only of some help to you now. In the future, it will only be a drop in the ocean."
Li Ao sighed.
So long as it was someone who graduated from Paladin Academy, there was no mediocre person. Every single one of them was a great figure.
At the very least, they would have an official position.
At that time, in terms of status, it would be far from what he, the Patriarch of the Li Clan, could compare to.
"No matter what, I still have to thank Patriarch for your timely help."
Duan Lingtian smiled.
"When do you plan to head to the Imperial City?"
Li Ao asked.
"I plan to leave the day after tomorrow."
Duan Lingtian said.
"So anxious?"
Li Ao was surprised.
"If it was me alone, I'd arrive in a few months … But this time, I want to bring my mother along and prepare to use a carriage instead of walking."
Duan Lingtian said.
"Since it's like this, leave the matter of the carriage to me."
Li Ao said.
"Then thank you, Patriarch."
Duan Lingtian's face revealed a smile as he sincerely thanked Li Ao.
After sending Li Ao off, Duan Lingtian left the Li family estate and went to the medicine store to see Tang Ying.
"Kid, you've finally returned alive."
Tang Ying scolded with a smile.
"I think you're hoping that I won't return, right?"
Duan Lingtian rolled his eyes at Tang Ying.
"When do you plan to leave?"
Tang Ying asked the same question as Li Ao.
"I came to tell you about this matter. I plan to leave the day after tomorrow."
Duan Lingtian smiled.
"If you leave, you'll definitely take that girl with you. What about the Six Treasures Body Tempering Liquid?"
Tang Ying stared at Duan Lingtian with a burning gaze. "How about you sell the formula to me?"
"Not selling!"
Duan Lingtian replied very bluntly.
