Duan Lingtian didn't have any other intentions when taking care of Jing Ru like this, and it was only purely out of concern.
Although Jing Ru's appearance wasn't bad, but compared to Li Fei and Kerr, she was still lacking by quite a bit. At most, she was only at the same level as Li Shi Shi.
As the former King of Mercenaries, Duan Lingtian was a person who knew how to be grateful.
Although Jing Ru's action of blocking in front of him was superfluous, Jing Ru didn't know his background at that time, so she obviously threw her life away.
Such a kind-hearted girl was extremely suitable to be the housekeeper of the house he bought, and he could completely trust her.
"Xiong Quan, let's return to the inn and bring my mother and the others over."
After Jing Ru left, Duan Lingtian locked the door to the house and left with Xiong Quan.
Duan Clan Estate.
As a large clan that was only inferior to the Imperial Family in the Crimson Sky Kingdom, the Duan Clan Estate occupied a vast and boundless area.
At this moment, in a large courtyard of the Duan Clan Estate, a fat woman around 150 kg was helping Duan Rong bandage his wounds ….
The fat woman's small eyes flickered with viciousness. "Rong, do you know who injured you?"
Duan Rong angrily shook his head. "I don't know!"
"Don't worry, Aunt will surely find out and take revenge for you!"
The fat woman's voice revealed a sense of gloominess.
"Thank you, Aunt!"
Duan Rong had a face full of excitement, as he knew the power of this Aunt.
Although his uncle, the second master of the Duan Clan, had his Dantian crippled by someone 20 years ago, but during these years, his uncle was in charge of many of the Duan Clan's businesses, and his status in the Duan Clan was only below the Patriarch and a few Supreme Elders.
His uncle, on the other hand, listened to his aunt the most.
"Go rest first. I'll ask your uncle to send someone to help you with the matter of buying a house for you …. When the time comes, you can directly move in. Also, after entering Paladin Academy, you must strive hard. The Duan Clan only has five recommendation quotas every year, and your uncle gave you the only one he had. You can't lose face for him. "
The fat woman looked at Duan Rong as she slowly spoke.
"Aunt, I will surely not disappoint you and uncle."
Duan Rong nodded fiercely and turned away.
After Duan Rong left, a cold light flashed through the chubby woman's small eyes. "No matter who you are, I'll kill you if you dare to hurt my nephew!"
Very soon, the plump woman stood up with great difficulty. Her body weighed more than 150 kilograms, and when she took a step forward, the earth quaked and the mountains swayed.
To the north of the Duan Clan Residence, there was a luxurious residence a few streets away.
A carriage had just stopped at the entrance of the mansion when a red figure flew out of the carriage and headed straight for the gate of the mansion.
"Who is it?!"
At the gate, four guards stopped him.
"How dare you stop me! Open your dog eyes and see who I am!"
The woman in red flew into a rage and turned into a glaring Vajra. She tightened her grip on the black whip.
One of the family guards recognized this person and his expression changed. He hurriedly lowered his head and bowed, "Young Lady Li, this lowly one didn't recognize you for a moment, please forgive me!"
Miss Li?
The expressions of the other three guards also changed greatly, and they hurriedly bowed in salute.
They also remembered.
This demoness was none other than their Fifth Prince's cousin, the only daughter of the Pingyang County's County Chief, Tong Li.
"Forgive me? Stop dreaming! I'll teach all of you a lesson on behalf of my cousin today. "
Tong Li wasn't so magnanimous. With a raise of her hand, the whip in her hand seemed to have transformed into a black venomous snake that directly flashed towards the four guards and fiercely swung onto their bodies.
Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!
…
Although the four guards were beaten to the point their flesh was split open, they didn't dare make a sound. They knew that if they were to make a sound, the punishment would be even heavier.
"Hmph! At least all of you are sensible! Granny Wang, let's go look for my cousin. "
After Tong Li vented her anger, she put away the whip and walked into the residence in large strides.
The faces of the four guards were ghastly pale. They only caught their breaths after Tong Li disappeared before their eyes, and they had expressions of lingering fear in their hearts.
"I never imagined that after a few years, this Young Lady Li's temper hasn't changed in the slightest."
"Not only hasn't changed, I feel that it's even worse … I still remember when she came three years ago, half of my hair was burned by her."
"What's the meaning of this? 10 years ago, when she was still a little girl, she snuck into my room and put a venomous snake in my bathtub … If it wasn't for the Fifth Prince bestowing medicine, I would have been poisoned to death at that time. "
"This she-devil has come again. Looks like the residence is going to be troublesome again."
The four guards had expressions of lingering fear in their hearts, and they had expressions of being unable to bear to recall the past.
Within the luxurious residence, within the pergola in the rear courtyard, a refined young man around the age of 30 sat there as he calmly savored fragrant tea …
Behind him, an old man with white eyebrows stood there, unmoving like a mountain.
"Cousin!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded out from afar, causing the refined young man's brows to twitch, and a trace of tender affection appeared on his face.
The corners of the old man's mouth twitched, and his expression was slightly unnatural.
In next to no time, Tong Li arrived before the refined young man, and her eyes turned red as tears flowed down like rain. "Cousin, you must seek justice for me …"
The refined young man, the Fifth Prince of the Crimson Sky Kingdom's Imperial Family, couldn't help but be stunned. "Li, what's wrong? Who offended you? "
It was difficult for him to imagine that there was actually someone who could bully this cousin of his.
"Wu wu …."
Tong Li threw herself into the Fifth Prince's embrace, and as if she'd found a place to vent, she started crying loudly.
"Granny Wang, what's going on?"
When the Fifth Prince looked at the old woman that followed Tong Li over, the tender affection in his eyes vanished, and traces of dignity were emitted.
This was the dignity of a person in a high position, and it pressured the old woman to the point of lowering her head.
The old woman hurriedly said, "Fifth Prince, the matter is like this, the Young Miss and I a few hours ago …."
The old woman spoke of what happened to them in the restaurant.
Slap!
The Fifth Prince's hand descended, and his Origin Energy skyrocketed, causing the stone table before him to be directly smashed into pieces. His eyes flickered with a fierce light, and his voice was low and deep. "What did you say? That person slapped Li over 10 times? "
"Yes."
The old woman lowered her head.
Tong Li raised her head and cried as she said, "Cousin, look, it's already been a few hours. Even though I've consumed the Icy Muscle Pill, the bruises on my face still haven't been completely removed."
The Fifth Prince looked at the faint bruises on Tong Li's face, and the fierce light in his eyes grew even more intense!
Icy Muscle Pill, a grade seven medicinal pill that treated external injuries of the skin, and its miraculous effect was remarkable.
After consuming the Icy Muscle Pill, a few hours had passed, and the bruises still hadn't been completely removed …. It could be imagined how severe the injuries she suffered before were!
"Who is he?"
The refined temperament on the Fifth Prince's face vanished without a trace, and replacing it was fierceness.
His gaze descended onto the old woman, and the old woman's face went pale. "Fifth Prince, I don't know. I only know that there are four of them. A violet clothed youth around the age of 18, a middle aged man at the seventh level of the Origin Core Stage, and two other girls that wore veils and weren't older than 20."
The Fifth Prince took a deep breath. "Old Bai!"
"White-browed is here."
White-browed old man took a step forward, looked at the Fifth Prince, and bowed respectfully.
"Go investigate thoroughly. I want to see who actually dares to injure even my cousin!"
The Fifth Prince instructed, and his eyes emitted dense killing intent.
He was born in the Imperial Family, and although he had many brothers and sisters of the same father, there wasn't a single one that he could entrust his heart to.
Only this cousin of his wouldn't scheme against him, and wouldn't fight for power and influence with him.
So, he'd always doted on this cousin of his.
"Cousin, capture him alive, I want to kill him with my own two hands!"
Tong Li's voice contained boundless icy coldness mixed within ….
Duan Lingtian naturally didn't know that on the first day he arrived at the Imperial City, he'd provoked two 'big troubles.'
Presently, he was sitting on the carriage, chatting and laughing with the three girls as they headed towards the courtyard house he bought ….
"Scoundrel, why did you sell the Ferghana Horse?"
Li Fei asked curiously.
"I sold it when I lacked money. In any case, I won't have any use for it in the Imperial City in the future. I'll just buy it when I need it in the future."
Duan Lingtian casually said.
Buying the courtyard house cost him 8 million silver, and now with the remaining 2 million silver and the 3 million silver he obtained from selling the Ferghana Horse, he had another 5 million silver.
Walking in the Imperial City, the Ferghana Horse didn't have any advantage, and an ordinary steed was sufficient.
"Young Master, what's the surprise you spoke of?"
Kerr blinked her watery eyes as she asked Duan Lingtian curiously.
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled. "It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you now."
"Why are you being so mysterious? Who cares?"
Li Fei rebuked Duan Lingtian, but the truth was that a trace of curiosity still flashed within the depths of her eyes.
Finally, the carriage stopped.
"Master, we've arrived."
Xiong Quan's voice followed along.
When the three girls saw Duan Lingtian unlock and open the door to the courtyard house before them, they were stunned for a moment.
"Tian, this …. This is the courtyard house you bought?"
Li Rou asked in surprise.
That year, she'd once lived in the Duan Clan for a few years, so she naturally knew that every inch of land in the Imperial City was precious …. The courtyard house before them might not be worth mentioning when compared to the Duan Clan Estate, but even so, this courtyard house was at least 7 to 8 million silver.
"Surprised, right?"
Duan Lingtian smiled.
The three girls nodded as they followed Duan Lingtian into the courtyard house ….
This surprise was too great!
Xiong Quan also led the carriage in and closed the door to the courtyard house on the way.
"Scoundrel, this courtyard house cost a lot of money, right?"
Li Fei suppressed the shock in her heart as she looked at Duan Lingtian and blinked her beautiful eyes.
"Don't worry about how much money it cost, see if you like it …. The building on the left is the main building with seven large bedrooms, and the main building leads directly to the backyard. The one on the right is a subsidiary building with 13 bedrooms. I plan to leave it for the servant girls and the chef to live in. "
Duan Lingtian slowly introduced.
Soon, Li Rou was pulled around the courtyard house by the excited Li Fei and Kerr.
In the future, they would be the owners of this courtyard house.
"Knock knock …."
Suddenly, the sound of knocking came from the door.
Under Duan Lingtian's signal, Xiong Quan walked over and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"
"It's me."
An anxious woman's voice came from outside the door.
"Open the door."
Duan Lingtian recognized that this was the voice of the housekeeper he'd decided on, Jing Ru.
