Duan Lingtian was just about to enter the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda when he heard voices coming from outside.
He could tell that it was Xiong Hu and Jin Yuan Bao's voices.
The Master they were referring to was undoubtedly the City Governor of Mound Hill City.
"So fast?"
Duan Lingtian was a little surprised.
He knew why the City Governor of Mound Hill City was looking for him.
It was just like what Guo Li had said.
Once the City Governor of Mound Hill City found out about his battle results in the valley, he would most likely make an exception and take him in as his disciple … After all, his battle results were even more exaggerated than Xiong Hu's.
Apart from that, there was something else that even Guo Li did not know.
He had killed the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage bandit.
Killing someone on the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage with his cultivation base at the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage … His talent and strength were enough to attract the attention of the City Governor of Mound Hill City.
Walking out of the wooden house, Duan Lingtian happened to see Xiong Hu and Jin Yuan Bao arriving at their respective wooden houses.
"Duan Lingtian, you're a freak!"
Jin Yuan Bao's True Energy Voice Transmission entered his ears in a timely manner.
Although Xiong Hu did not say anything, the way he looked at Duan Lingtian was extremely solemn.
Duan Lingtian flew off the high platform and was about to leave the Latent Dragon Camp.
Just as he was about to walk out of the Latent Dragon Camp's entrance, a ghostly figure appeared in front of him and blocked his way.
'So fast!'
Looking at the Heavenly Harm Guardian, one of the 36 Guardians, who appeared before him, Duan Lingtian was secretly shocked. 'This doesn't seem like the speed of a Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage Martial Cultivator.'
Duan Lingtian activated his Divine Eye out of curiosity.
At that moment, he detected the Heavenly Harm Guardian's cultivation base.
'Paramount Mortal Shedding Stage?'
Duan Lingtian was shocked. He did not expect the Heavenly Harm Guardian to have broken through as well.
In fact, he had used his Divine Eye to detect the Heavenly Harm Guardian when he first saw him when he first arrived at the Latent Dragon Camp.
At that time, the Heavenly Harm Guardian was only on the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage.
The Heavenly Harm Guardians left as quickly as they came.
Just as Duan Lingtian regained his senses, he left again.
"What's going on?"
"Isn't Lord Heavenly Harm Guardian stopping Duan Lingtian from leaving? Why aren't you stopping me now? "
…
The Latent Dragon Camp members who had planned to watch the show were disappointed.
Only Duan Lingtian knew that Xiong Hu or Jin Yuan Bao must have told the Heavenly Harm Guardian the reason why he left the Latent Dragon Camp … How could the Heavenly Harm Guardian dare to stop the City Governor of Mound Hill City from meeting him?
After leaving the Hidden Dragon Camp and arriving at the meeting room again, Duan Lingtian knew that he was right.
"Duan Lingtian, I want to accept you as my disciple. Are you willing?"
The City Governor of Mound Hill City narrowed his eyes and asked Duan Lingtian directly.
"City Lord, what benefits will I get if I agree to become your disciple? “
Duan Lingtian asked directly when he heard the City Governor of Mound Hill City's question.
The Heavenly Leader Guardian's expression changed as soon as he heard Duan Lingtian's words. He shouted angrily, "Duan Lingtian, don't be arrogant! It's your blessing that the City Governor is willing to accept you as his disciple. "
He did not expect Duan Lingtian to be so bold as to bargain with the City Governor.
Duan Lingtian ignored the Heavenly Leader Guardian and continued to look at the City Governor of Mound Hill City calmly. He seemed to be waiting for the City Governor's reply.
The City Governor of Mound Hill City was stunned for a while before he asked with interest, "What benefits do you want?"
"City Governor, you're really straightforward!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes lit up. "I don't want much … I just hope that you can agree to a request of mine, City Governor."
"Speak."
The City Governor of Mound Hill City said.
"City Governor, I hope that you can protect Guo Li so that she won't be sacrificed in the battle between the clans in Fuyu Town."
Duan Lingtian said with a serious expression.
He had nothing else to ask for from the City Governor of Mound Hill City.
"Fuyu Town?"
The City Governor of Mound Hill City frowned. "Guo Li is from Fuyu Town?"
As the City Governor of Mound Hill City, he had some impression of Fuyu Town.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded. "Guo Li is from the Guo Clan in Fuyu Town. She's also the strongest person among the younger generation in Fuyu Town! The other two clans that are enemies with the Guo Clan want her dead. "
"Who is she to you? Why would you go to such lengths for her? “
The City Governor of Mound Hill City had an ambiguous look in his eyes.
"She's my friend … I'm only helping her because I owe her a favor."
Duan Lingtian said.
"Are you really just friends?"
The City Governor of Mound Hill City had an ambiguous look in his eyes.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded calmly. There was not even the slightest ripple in his heart.
He was telling the truth. He did not have any feelings for Guo Li.
"Heavenly Leader Guardian, send my order to Fuyu Town immediately … If anything happens to Guo Li, the City Governor's Office of Mound Hill City will annihilate the two clans that are enemies with the Guo Clan."
The City Governor of Mound Hill City looked at the Heavenly Leader Guardian and ordered.
"Yes."
The Heavenly Leader Guardian immediately retreated and left the meeting hall. It was obvious that he was going to relay the City Governor's order.
At that moment, only Duan Lingtian and the City Governor of Mound Hill City were left in the spacious meeting hall.
"Greetings, Teacher."
Duan Lingtian bowed to the City Governor of Mound Hill City.
"Teacher?"
The City Governor of Mound Hill City frowned. He did not expect Duan Lingtian to call him 'teacher'.
Teacher, Master, although the two were extremely similar, there was also a huge difference … Compared to Master, Teacher was undoubtedly much more casual.
Usually, there could only be one master.
Even if one wanted to have a second master, the first master had to agree. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful.
However, a teacher was different.
A teacher was not so particular.
As long as it was an elder who had taught and guided him, he could call him 'teacher'.
"You have a master?"
After a while, the City Governor of Mound Hill City asked as he relaxed his brows.
"No."
Duan Lingtian shook his head.
"Then why don't you call me 'teacher' instead of 'master'?"
The City Governor of Mound Hill City's tone was stern and dissatisfied as he asked.
"A teacher teaches and answers questions … In my eyes, a master is like a bright light in the night, someone who can guide me forward. My teacher, on the other hand, was someone who helped me during my growth. "
Duan Lingtian answered honestly.
Because of that, in his heart, even if he had the City Governor of Mound Hill City as his teacher, the City Governor of Mound Hill City was only his teacher and not his master.
The word 'master' was too heavy.
"It seems like you're saying that I can't teach you?"
The City Governor of Mound Hill City's eyes gleamed coldly, and his tone became deeper.
"If you can be the bright light that guides me forward … By then, I'll naturally be willing to call you 'master'. However, for now, you're still my teacher. "
Facing the City Governor of Mound Hill City whose expression had turned extremely grave, Duan Lingtian's expression was as calm as usual.
"Hmph! You can leave now. "
The City Governor of Mound Hill City snorted.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian did not say much. After responding, he turned around and left the meeting hall.
Seeing Duan Lingtian's silhouette disappear before his eyes, the gloominess on the City Governor of Mound Hill City's face disappeared and was replaced with a smile. "What a special little fellow.
He killed a Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage Martial Cultivator with his Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage cultivation base … It seems like this little fellow has quite a big secret. "
The City Governor of Mound Hill City was almost mumbling to himself when he reached the end of his sentence.
"Guo Li's matter has finally been resolved."
On the way back to the Latent Dragon Camp, Duan Lingtian had a smile on his face. He had finally repaid the favor he owed Guo Li.
He was free of debt.
Currently, Duan Ling Tian felt as if his body was as light as a swallow.
"I'll go to the Merit Pavilion to have a look three days later."
After returning to the Latent Dragon Camp, Duan Lingtian's heart jolted.
Three days later, he would be able to exchange the points he had obtained in today's test for Merit Points … Then, he would be able to exchange the Merit Points for some items in the City Governor's Estate.
Perhaps, he would be able to find something that he wanted.
When Duan Lingtian entered the second level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda to continue cultivating, an order came out of the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City and was sent far away.
It was sent all the way to Fuyu Town.
Fuyu Town was also known as Fuyu Island. It was an island located not far away from the Dao Martial Saint Land.
The Fuyu Island today was not peaceful.
This was because a messenger had come from the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City to deliver the order from the City Governor of Mound Hill City.
"Guo Li, a disciple of the Guo Clan, is a member of the Latent Dragon Camp of the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City … If anything happens, the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City will step in and annihilate the two clans that are enemies of the Guo Clan."
These were the original words of the City Governor of Mound Hill City.
After the order was given, the entire Guo Clan was in an uproar. Each and every one of them was extremely excited.
The most outstanding disciple of the Guo Clan was protected by the City Governor of Mound Hill City.
Unlike the Guo Clan's excitement, the other two clans were gloomy as though they had just gone through a funeral.
"The City Governor of Mound Hill City is protecting Guo Li?"
They could not figure out why the City Governor of Mound Hill City would protect Guo Li.
"Investigate! Send someone to investigate! "
"We must know why the City Governor of Mound Hill City is protecting Guo Li … At the same time, tell the spies in Mound Hill City to stop their actions and stop targeting Guo Li."
…
After the orders were passed down from the two clans, the people from the two clans began to make their way to the Dao Martial Saint Land.
At the same time, the people from the Guo Clan also left Fuyu Island.
The Guo Clan also wanted to know what was going on.
When Guo Li found out about all of this, it was already three days later.
"Master City Governor gave an order to protect me?"
Guo Li was a little confused when she found out about this.
However, she soon regained her senses. She knew all of this must have something to do with Duan Lingtian.
"Duan Lingtian, it's you … Is it?"
Guo Li could not help but ask for confirmation when she saw Duan Lingtian walking out of cottage No.6 slowly.
"Huh?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned when he saw Guo Li staring at him excitedly.
He had just come out of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, so he did not know what Guo Li meant.
