"Grandpa Hou, we don't have any evidence."
Situ Hang smiled wryly.
"Don't we have this Mister?"
Situ Hou looked at Duan Lingtian. It was obvious he was confident in Duan Lingtian.
Naturally, this was also because Duan Lingtian had helped Situ Hang recover a lot earlier. Even the Four Star Saint Refinement Masters in the palace could not do anything about it, but this young man could do it.
"According to what Mister said earlier, the Devil Inscription is obviously a very obscure thing. Not only that, but the traces left behind are also very faint. Mister is only able to discover and recognize the Devil Inscription because he's very knowledgeable. However, other people might not believe him. "
Situ Hang voiced out his concern.
"As long as Mister cures you, do you think they won't believe him?"
Situ Hou did not think much of it.
"Even if Mister cures me, they can still deny the existence of the Devil Inscription. After all, if Mister didn't say anything, even you and I wouldn't have known the existence of the Devil Inscription in this world. At that time, Situ Zhuo can accuse me of framing him. "
Situ Hang sighed.
"Young Master Situ is right. This matter can't be rushed. Even if we want to find Situ Zhuo, we have to think about it carefully."
Duan Lingtian chimed in, which was rare of him.
Although he did not know who Situ Zhuo was, based on Situ Hang and Situ Hou's attitude earlier, it was obvious they were certain the Devil Inscription in Situ Hang was related to Situ Zhuo.
"You're right, Mister."
Situ Hang nodded in agreement. At the same time, he forced himself to get off the bed and bowed at Duan Lingtian to thank him. "Thank you for your help, Mister. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to live until next month."
Although the purple-clad young man before him had not completely healed him, he had recovered a lot from his miraculous treatment.
"You're too kind, Young Master Situ."
Duan Lingtian smiled faintly.
"May I know your name, Mister?"
Situ Hang asked politely.
"Duan Lingtian."
Under Situ Hang and Situ Hou's gaze, Duan Lingtian replied with a smile.
Until now, he still had a good impression of the Situ Clan's Great Young Master.
After experiencing two lifetimes, he had his own ability to judge people. He could tell that Situ Hang was an honest and upright person, and he was definitely not someone ordinary aristocratic family's disciples could compare to.
"So it's Mr. Duan."
After all, his body had not fully recovered. After standing for a while, Situ Hang's face gradually turned pale again.
"Little Hang, you should rest."
Situ Hou hurriedly said when he saw this.
"Yes."
Situ Hang nodded and greeted Duan Lingtian. After that, he smiled apologetically and went back to bed.
At the same time, Duan Lingtian and Situ Hou left the room and returned to the courtyard.
"Mr. Duan, please forgive my previous rudeness."
As soon as they came out, Situ Hou immediately apologized to Duan Lingtian. As for the 'rudeness' he mentioned, it was none other than the incident where he asked Manager Fu, the manager of the inner mansion, to test Duan Lingtian.
"Elder Hou is also concerned about Young Master Situ. I can understand."
Duan Lingtian said.
A smile appeared on Situ Hou's face when he heard Duan Lingtian's words. Then, he asked hesitantly, "May I ask if you're a powerhouse on the Heaven Ranking, Master Duan?"
"A powerhouse on the Heaven Ranking?"
Duan Lingtian was confused when he saw Situ Hou staring at him. "What's that?"
He had heard of the Earth Ranking before.
What was the Heaven Ranking?
"Mr. Duan, y-you don't know about the Heaven Ranking?"
Situ Hou could see that Duan Lingtian did not seem like he was pretending. His eyes were wide open, and his expression was a little dazed.
"This is my first time hearing about it."
Duan Lingtian said, "I've heard of the Earth Ranking before. It's a list of powerhouses at the peak of the Mortal Shedding Stage."
"The Earth Ranking and the Heaven Ranking are not on the same level … In the Dao Martial Saint Land, there are countless Earth Rankings, but there are only a few dozen Heaven Rankings."
Situ Hou shook his head.
"I'd like to hear more about it."
After hearing Situ Hou's words, Duan Lingtian was curious about the Heaven Ranking.
Then, with Situ Hou's introduction, Duan Lingtian learned what the Heaven Ranking was. It was a list that only fifth-rate forces were qualified to set up. It was a list that was set up by a fifth-rate force for powerhouses at the peak of the Saint Rudiment Stage in an area under the control of a fifth-rate force.
Although Windfall Nation was a sixth-rate Saint Nation, it was attached to a fifth-rate force called the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion.
In the area under the control of the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion, there were a total of eleven sixth-rate forces, and Windfall Nation was only one of them.
Therefore, the powerhouses at the peak of the Saint Rudiment Stage who were listed in the Heaven Ranking were all top Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouses in the area under the control of the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion.
There were only a few people in Windfall Nation who were listed in the Heaven Ranking among a hundred people.
"I can't believe you don't know about the Heaven Ranking, Master Duan … May I know where you're from, Master Duan?"
Situ Hou asked curiously.
"I'm from the Nine Sect Alliances' district."
Duan Lingtian answered honestly. Since he was going to ask the Situ Clan to help him find Bai Li Hong's whereabouts, there was no need for him to hide this.
"The Nine Sect Alliances' district?"
Situ Hou was enlightened. "I've heard of that place before. It's at the border behind the desert in the south … I can't believe there's someone as outstanding as you there, Master Duan."
Situ Hou sighed emotionally.
"Elder Hou, who's the Situ Zhuo that you mentioned to Young Master Situ? What kind of conflict does he have with Young Master Situ?"
Duan Lingtian was curious about this.
After all, Situ Hang was the Great Young Master of Situ Clan, the next successor to the Clan Leader of Situ Clan.
Someone actually wanted to murder such a person.
Moreover, it was obvious the other party was also from Situ Clan based on his name.
"Situ Zhuo is also a direct descendant of our Situ Clan, and he's known as the Second Young Master. However, he's not related to Little Hang by blood. If we really want to talk about blood relations, I'm afraid we'll have to go back several tens of generations."
Situ Hou explained slowly.
Duan Lingtian could understand Situ Hou's words. Situ Hang and Situ Zhuo were both direct line of descent, but they were not from the same bloodline.
"Our Situ Clan's inheritance is not passed down through the bloodline. Instead, we select the most outstanding direct line of descent and nurture him to be the next Clan Leader … The current Clan Leader is Little Hang's father. Little Hang also did well and was selected as the next successor to the Clan Leader. "
Situ Hou continued, "However, there's another outstanding person in Little Hang's generation … If Little Hang wasn't around, he'd definitely be able to replace him and be selected as the next successor to the Clan Leader."
"That person is Situ Zhuo?"
When Duan Lingtian heard Situ Hou's words, he finally understood why Situ Zhuo wanted to kill Situ Hang. It must be because he wanted to replace Situ Hang and become the next successor to the Clan Leader of Situ Clan.
After all, as long as Situ Hang was alive, he would not stand a chance.
"That's right!"
Situ Hou's eyes gleamed coldly as he said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect him to be so deranged … He's challenging our Situ Clan's rules!"
The first rule of the Situ Clan's rules forbade the disciples from killing each other.
"Ordinary people really can't discover the Devil Inscription."
Duan Lingtian shook his head.
"Master Duan, you can stay here with Little Hang for now … I still have to inform the Clan Leader about this so I won't disturb you any longer."
Situ Hou informed Duan Lingtian before he left after instructing the maids in the courtyard to take care of Duan Lingtian.
"Master Duan, please come with me."
As the Great Young Master of Situ Clan, it was only natural that there were many maids in the courtyard where Situ Hang stayed. After hearing Situ Hou's instruction, a maid immediately led Duan Lingtian to a spare room.
The room was neat and tidy. Although it was unoccupied, it was still very clean. It was obvious that it was usually cleaned.
"Master Duan, please let me know if you need anything. I'll wait outside the door."
When the maid spoke to Duan Lingtian, she kept throwing flirtatious glances at him. Although she did not know if this purple-clad young man could cure the Great Young Master, based on Elder Hou's attitude toward this person, it was enough for her to flatter him.
If such a person took a liking to her, it would undoubtedly be a great opportunity for her to rise to the top.
However, although the maid was quite pretty, she was not as pretty as Duan Lingtian's two fiancées. Due to this reason, Duan Lingtian directly ignored her.
'I wonder where Senior Brother and Uncle Feng are now … I hope they've really come to Windfall Nation.'
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
'I'll ask the Clan Leader of Situ Clan later if he knows which fifth-rate force most people have the surname Han.'
This was the only clue Duan Lingtian had regarding Xue Nai's origin.
The force that Xue Nai was in was obviously a big clan. Even the Ancient Han Clan on Cloud Continent was established by an ordinary disciple who came from there 10,000 years ago.
The reason he guessed Xue Nai was from a fifth-rate force was naturally because of the Saint Stones that Xue Nai had given him.
90% of the Saint Stones were fifth-grade Saint Stones while the rest were fourth-grade Saint Stones.
This was in line with the standard of a fifth-grade Saint Stone reserve that was usually in the hands of a fifth-rate force.
Duan Lingtian sat quietly on the bed. He was not in a hurry to enter the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda to cultivate.
This was because he knew even if he entered the pagoda to cultivate, he would not be able to cultivate for long.
Just as Duan Lingtian had expected, not long after he sat quietly, the maid's voice resonated from outside. "Master Duan, the Clan Leader is here. Please come out."
The Clan Leader mentioned by the maid was undoubtedly the Clan Leader of Situ Clan.
Duan Lingtian was not in a hurry to enter the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda to cultivate. He was also waiting for the Clan Leader of Situ Clan to visit him. As the biological father of the Great Young Master of Situ Clan, Situ Hang, the Clan Leader of Situ Clan would definitely come to confirm it as soon as he found out someone could cure his son's strange illness.
What a pity all parents in the world!
As parents, there was basically no one who didn't love their children.
When Duan Lingtian walked out of the room, he saw Situ Hou again. There was another person next to Situ Hou. It was a middle-aged man with a medium build. He wore a blue robe and had a jade-like face. His eyebrows were as sharp as swords, and he exuded the aura of a superior.
