"Jingru, what's the matter?"
When Duan Lingtian saw Jingru once again, he couldn't help but ask curiously when he noticed that she had brought a package over.
"Young Master, the Duan Clan's Second Master sent someone to inquire about the location of your courtyard house from the manager. Although the manager didn't say anything due to the rules, and that person couldn't do anything about it … But the Duan Clan's Second Master's methods are too brilliant. I'm afraid it won't take long for him to find you here."
After Jingru entered, she hadn't stopped talking, and after she finished speaking, she revealed a worried expression.
"You're here to deliver the news?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed as he slowly nodded, then asked.
Jingru blushed. "I've come to seek refuge with Young Master this time … I didn't think that the Duan Clan's Second Master would interfere. If he were to interfere, then he would sooner or later come looking for me. Since it's like this, I might as well leave. "
Duan Lingtian was stunned, as he never thought that the Duan Clan's Second Master would actually help him.
Seeing Duan Lingtian's current expression, Jingru's face went pale. "Young Master, you wouldn't be regretting it, right?"
"What are you thinking? I, Duan Lingtian, have never taken back the words I've said."
How could Duan Lingtian not know that Jingru had misunderstood, and he lightly smiled as he explained.
Duan Lingtian?
Jingru's beautiful brows frowned. "Young Master, you … Could it be that you're a member of the Duan Clan as well? According to my knowledge, the younger generation of the Duan Clan's direct line of descent is the 'Ling' generation. "
"I was in the past, but not now."
Duan Lingtian spoke indifferently. He didn't have any sense of belonging to the Duan Clan.
Even if that cheapskate father of his returned, he still wouldn't return to the Duan Clan.
That clan that was cold and indifferent like ice!
Forcing an orphan and a widow to leave alive …
He would never forget the generous gift of the Duan Clan in his entire life!
Jingru was smart. She knew that Duan Lingtian didn't want to say, so she didn't ask.
In next to no time, Duan Ling Tian's expression eased up, then he withdrew a stack of silver and passed it to Jing Ru as he said with a light smile, "Jing Ru, from today onwards, you're the Manager of this courtyard house of mine … Take this money. In these few days, go recruit a few servant girls with passable conduct that are diligent and reliable. Hmm, also find two chefs … As for the salary, make it double that of the servant girls and chefs of those large families."
"Yes, young master."
Jingru took the banknotes and nodded quickly. "I will do it well. I won't let you down."
"If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have let you be the butler."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled. He made this decision because he liked Jingru's character.
"Also, you can stay with us in the main building from now on. There are seven bedrooms anyway. My family, Xiong Quan, and I only occupy five bedrooms. That's two extra bedrooms."
Duan Lingtian added.
"Thank you, young master."
Jingru's face was full of excitement and gratitude. In her opinion, the young master let her live in the main building, which meant that he didn't treat her as an outsider.
"Bad guy, who is she?"
A fragrant wind blew. Li Fei held Duan Lingtian's arm as if she was declaring the ownership of Duan Lingtian. Her eyes fell on Jingru with a vigilant look.
"This is the butler I found, Jingru. Jingru, this is my fiancée, Li Fei. "
Duan Lingtian introduced Li Fei and Jingru to each other.
"Butler?"
Li Fei's vigilance on her face relaxed. She smiled at Jingru. "Hello, sister Jingru."
Jingru was flattered and said quickly, "Young Madam, you can call me 'Jingru'."
The words' Young Madam 'from Jingru caused Li Fei to beam, then she held Jingru's hand and walked in. "Sister Jingru, let's go. I'll introduce Aunt Rou and Kerr to you …"
Duan Lingtian revealed a smile as he looked at Jingru getting familiar with the three women of his family in the blink of an eye.
Swish! Swish!
Right at this moment, two flowing lights that were like bolts of lightning flashed out and flashed straight towards Duan Lingtian.
It was like a bolt of lightning!
"Master, watch out!"
The nearby Xiong Quan's face went ghastly pale, and his figure flashed out to vanish on the spot. When he appeared once more, he was already before Duan Lingtian.
Swish!
Instantly, his three foot long sword flashed out, and above him, over 500 ancient mammoth silhouettes condensed …
Xiong Quan used his full strength when facing the two flowing lights that flashed over, and it could be seen how fearful Xiong Quan was of these two 'flowing lights' that suddenly appeared.
However, even then, Xiong Quan's sword strike still missed!
The two flowing lights flashed past his sword strike and flashed towards Duan Lingtian …
"Master!"
Xiong Quan's face went ghastly pale, and his entire body broke out in cold sweat …
If his Master died, he wouldn't be able to live either!
"Alright, Xiong Quan, put away your sword."
Duan Lingtian's voice sounded out, causing Xiong Quan's heart to calm down. When he returned to his senses, he noticed that there were two strange little pythons in Duan Lingtian's hand …
"Little Black, Little White, you've finally woken up."
Duan Lingtian teased the two little pythons, and he noticed that after sleeping for half a year, the two little pythons had actually undergone an extremely great transformation. Not only was the horn on their heads completely revealed now, it even flickered with a strand of light, a faint light.
"I truly never imagined that your current speed would be so swift … Exactly what sort of variant are you?"
Duan Lingtian couldn't help but sigh with emotion. When his Origin Energy fused into the bodies of the two little pythons, he noticed a shocking thing …
The Snow Python's Inner Core had actually been completely digested by the two little pythons!
No wonder …
Their current speed had obviously surpassed that of the Snow Pythons at their peak!
Even when Xiong Quan utilized a Grade 7 spirit weapon at full strength, he was still unable to touch them …
But luckily, they were fine.
Duan Lingtian felt a wave of lingering fear.
He hadn't mentioned the two little pythons to Xiong Quan, so Xiong Quan didn't know of their existence.
"Hiss hiss ~"
The two little pythons flicked their tongues at Duan Lingtian, and they were extremely mischievous.
Seeing this scene, Xiong Quan's scalp went numb, and he asked in disbelief, "Master, are these fierce beasts you're raising?"
"Sort of."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
Now, his thoughts were still fixed at the moment the little pythons flashed towards him, and he vaguely saw over a thousand ancient mammoth silhouettes flash past in the sky.
It was so fast that he wasn't able to clearly see the exact number of ancient mammoth silhouettes, and he only vaguely caught some afterimages …
"Xiao Hei, demonstrate for me how strong you are now."
Duan Lingtian looked at the little black snake and lightly rubbed its little head.
The little black snake seemed to be able to understand Duan Lingtian's words, and it flicked out its tongue before instantly flashing out and scuttling up a large tree in the front courtyard. It flirtatiously hung upside down on a branch, and blinked its lively eyes at Duan Lingtian …
This time, Duan Lingtian saw it clearly!
Whoosh!
Right at this moment, the little white snake moved as well, and copied the little black snake and hung on the branch.
"Six … 600 mammoth silhouettes …"
Duan Lingtian fiercely gulped down a mouthful of saliva. He noticed that no matter if it was the little black snake or the little white snake, they both possessed a terrifying strength at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul Stage …
No wonder they were able to dodge Xiong Quan's full strength strike!
Xiong Quan had only recovered to the third level of the Nascent Soul Stage, and if he didn't use a spirit weapon, his full strength would be comparable to the strength of 400 ancient mammoths …
If he used his grade seven spirit weapon, he would be able to exert the strength of close to 520 ancient mammoths.
Compared to any of the little pythons, there would be a large gap.
"I never imagined that after they completely digested the Snow Python's Inner Core, such a terrifying change would actually occur … Unbelievable!"
Duan Lingtian's mood was unable to calm down for a long time, and some doubts arose within his heart.
According to the memories of Samsara Emperor Wu, the Snow Python's Inner Core shouldn't be able to cause such a change to occur to the two little pythons …
Perhaps, there was some secret within that he didn't know.
Perhaps, there was something else within the Snow Python's Inner Core.
But unfortunately, the Snow Python's Inner Core had been completely digested by the two little pythons, and there was no way to investigate.
No matter what, the two little pythons transforming once again caused Duan Lingtian to feel a wave of joy. This also meant that he had two more experts with strengths that surpassed Xiong Quan by his side.
The two little pythons were connected in their hearts, and so long as he slightly guided them, the little pythons would be able to transform into indestructible sharp blades in his hand …
Sharp blades that could pierce into the chest of an enemy!
Duan Lingtian waved his hand, and the two little pythons returned to his hand.
Fear appeared in Xiong Quan's eyes.
He understood that even if any of the little pythons were to attack him, it would be difficult for him to escape death now!
Even if there was a Seventh Grade Spirit Weapon, the result would still be the same.
Duan Lingtian naturally noticed Xiong Quan's gaze. This was also good. From now on, Xiong Quan not only had to worry about the poison he used, he also had to worry about these two little pythons that were completely obedient to his orders …
He understood that Xiong Quan was a smart person and knew how to make a choice.
Late at night.
Because there was no chef, Jingru personally cooked dinner, and the taste made Duan Lingtian and the others praise it endlessly.
"Sister Jingru, I didn't expect your culinary skills to be so good."
Kerr said with a smile.
"Young Mistress, you flatter me. How can I compare to those professional chefs?"
Jingru slightly shook her head.
"Sister Jingru, you can just call me Kerr."
Being addressed as Young Mistress caused Kerr to blush.
After dinner, Li Rou, Li Fei, and Kerr returned to their new rooms. Xiong Quan stood behind Duan Lingtian and played the role of a competent bodyguard.
"Jingru."
Duan Lingtian called over Jingru who had just come out of the kitchen.
"Young Master, is there something you need?"
Jingru had a bewildered expression as she asked curiously.
"Jingru, you seem to be extremely fearful when mentioning the Duan Clan's second master today … According to my knowledge, isn't this Duan Clan's second master an ordinary person with a crippled Dantian?"
Duan Lingtian had always been unable to wrap his head around this matter.
He knew that the Duan Clan's second master, Duan Ru Lei, had his Dantian accidentally crippled by his cheapskate father, Duan Rufeng, all those years ago.
A ninth level Body Tempering martial artist with a crippled Dantian was actually able to cause Jingru's expression to change?
"Young Master, there's something you don't know. Although the Duan Clan's second master's Dantian has been crippled, he's still an expert at doing business … Most of the businesses under the Duan Clan were single-handedly supported by him. Although he doesn't have his cultivation, he controls the Duan Clan's economic lifeline. His status in the Duan Clan is only beneath the Patriarch and the Supreme Elders. "
When Jingru heard what Duan Lingtian said, she knew that Duan Lingtian didn't know of the Duan Clan's current situation …
