Naturally, the three months here referred to the three months in the outside world.
A total of fifteen months had passed in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. In other words, it was one year and three months.
"Clan Leader Situ, immediately ask someone to announce to the public that from today onward, I, Duan Lingtian, am no longer the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan."
Duan Lingtian said to Situ Hao.
"Master Duan, you don't have to do this!"
Situ Hang's expression changed drastically. He did not expect Duan Lingtian would make such a decision.
"Master Duan, perhaps, as the Clan Leader of Situ Clan, I hope that you'll leave the Situ Clan. However, as a father, I can't ask you to leave the Situ Clan no matter what! After all, you saved my son's life. "
Situ Hao said solemnly as he looked at Duan Lingtian.
Situ Hang was his only son!
"Master Duan, you don't have to make a decision in such a hurry … Let's think of another way. Perhaps, there's a better way that doesn't require you to leave the Situ Clan. "
When Situ Hao reached the end of his sentence, he also spoke to Duan Lingtian.
Upon hearing Situ Zhuo's words, Duan Lingtian who was originally calm smiled.
"Master Duan, you …"
Situ Hao and his son were confused when they saw the smile on Duan Lingtian's face. They did not know why Duan Lingtian was smiling.
"Clan Leader Situ, it's already rare for you to say something like this."
Duan Lingtian said, "As for my decision, it won't change. Naturally, my decision has nothing to do with you and Young Master Hang. I don't plan to stay in Windfall Nation for long anyway. It's only a matter of time before I leave.
Naturally, although I've left the Situ Clan and am no longer the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, I'll still be staying in the Situ Clan for a period of time in the future. After some time, I'll officially leave the Situ Clan and Windfall Nation. "
Duan Lingtian continued to speak.
Now that he had settled down Feng Wu Dao and the others in Windfall Nation, there was nothing that he was worried about.
What he had to do was to find the power behind Xue Nai as soon as possible and look for his fiancée, Li Fei.
It had been quite some time since he arrived at the capital of Windfall Nation, and he had also obtained quite a lot of useful information. Initially, he had determined that the force behind Han Xuenai was the Greenwave Han Mansion.
His next step was to head to the Greenwave Han Mansion!
Situ Hao and Situ Hang fell silent when they heard Duan Lingtian's words. They knew that Duan Lingtian would leave one day, but they didn't expect it to be so soon.
"Master Duan, even if you want to leave, there's no need for you to leave the Situ Clan."
Situ Hang insisted.
"Young Master Hang, I've already made up my mind. You don't have to persuade me."
Duan Lingtian smiled. Based on his words, it was as though he had already seen through the mundane world.
"However, before I announce that I'm leaving the Situ Clan and am no longer the Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, I hope that Clan Leader Situ can help me make another announcement … I, Duan Lingtian, will personally accept the challenge from the strongest powerhouse on the Heaven Ranking from the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion! As for the date, it's up to him to decide. "
Duan Lingtian looked at Situ Hao and said something that stunned Situ Hao and Situ Hang.
Master Duan was actually going to accept the challenge from the powerhouse from the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion?
They could not help but be stunned.
Previously, when they heard Duan Lingtian had decided to leave the Situ Clan, they naturally thought Duan Lingtian did not dare to accept the challenge from the powerhouse.
However, it seemed like that was not the case.
"Master Duan, y-you're confident?"
Situ Hao asked in a daze.
"Why would I accept the challenge if I'm not confident?"
Duan Lingtian smiled faintly. Even before he went into closed-door cultivation, he was not afraid of the strongest powerhouse on the Heaven Ranking, let alone the current him.
"Master Duan, since you're confident, there's no need for you to leave the Situ Clan," Situ Hao said.
"Master Duan.
"Situ Family Head, please help me spread the news first."
Duan Lingtian changed the topic. It was obvious he did not want to change his mind.
When Situ Hao saw Duan Lingtian had made up his mind, he sighed inwardly. However, he did not insist on it since he could tell it would be useless even if he insisted.
It was obvious Master Duan was not the kind of person who would change his mind.
In the capital of Windfall Nation. The topic that had been buzzing in recent days had just changed when another piece of shocking news came. It caused the entire capital of Windfall Nation to be in an uproar.
News came from the Situ Clan.
The Interim Advisor of Situ Clan, Master Duan, had announced his departure from the Situ Clan. From today onward, he was no longer a member of the Situ Clan.
"Master Duan actually announced his departure from the Situ Clan?"
"It seems like he's really not in closed-door cultivation."
"Hurmph! Is he afraid of the strongest powerhouse on the Heaven Ranking from the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion? "
"Isn't it obvious? If he's not afraid, why would he make such a decision? In fact, recently, many people have been saying King Rong's estate is not as good as King Qian's estate because of him. "
"Since Duan Lingtian has left the Situ Clan, he won't have anything to do with King Rong's estate anymore. At that time, nobody will say King Rong's estate is not as good as King Qian's estate anymore."
"It seems like Duan Lingtian is really afraid of the powerhouse from the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion in the past two months. That's why he's holed up like a turtle … Ptui! To think I took him as my idol and thought he's really in closed-door cultivation! "
"You're too naive."
…
Similar discussions could be heard everywhere in the capital of Windfall Nation.
All of this was because Duan Lingtian had announced his departure from the Situ Clan. Almost everyone thought Duan Lingtian did not dare to accept the challenge from the powerhouse from the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion.
Even the people in King Qian's estate were no exception.
"He actually announced his departure from the Situ Clan?"
King Qian was stunned when he heard the news. At the same time, he looked at the middle-aged man who was sweating profusely. "Situ Ming, is this your plan?"
The middle-aged man was none other than Situ Ming, the former Second Master of Situ Clan.
A few days ago, King Qian had told Ye Feng to stay out of this matter. Then, he went to look for Situ Ming and asked him if he had any way to force Duan Lingtian to make a move. Situ Ming also swore that he would definitely force Duan Lingtian to make a move.
In fact, he was the one who secretly pushed for the change in the capital of Windfall Nation.
There was only one reason he did this, and that was to put pressure on King Rong's estate.
King Rong's estate would, naturally, put pressure on the Situ Clan. In his opinion, it would be difficult for Duan Lingtian to not make a move at that time.
However, it did not cross his mind that after waiting for a few days, he would receive news that Duan Lingtian was leaving the Situ Clan.
This was completely different from what he had imagined.
In his impression, Duan Lingtian was an arrogant young man. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for him to avoid the challenge.
However, it seemed like he was wrong.
Ye Feng stood on the other side as he looked at Situ Ming with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
He had already guessed Situ Ming's intention when the discussion in the capital of Windfall Nation changed. For a moment, he was extremely displeased.
He was displeased because he thought Situ Ming's plan would work. However, now that it had been proven that Situ Ming's plan was useless, he was secretly pleased. "Who asked you to fight for credit? Now, you know you can't simply come up with a plan, right?"
"Situ Ming, do you have nothing else to say?"
King Qian's expression turned even more grave when he saw Situ Ming standing there in a daze without any response.
"Imperial Highness King Qian, I didn't expect this as well …"
Situ Ming took a deep breath and smiled wryly. However, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a voice that resonated from outside. "Fourth Imperial Highness, good news! Good news! "
A middle-aged man barged in without permission.
"Don't you know the rules?"
King Qian's expression that was already grave turned even gloomier.
"Please forgive me, Fourth Imperial Highness! However, this news is really urgent. Fourth Imperial Highness, the Situ Clan has released another piece of news. They said that Duan Lingtian will accept Master Lin's challenge after he announced his departure from the Situ Clan! "
The middle-aged man hurriedly said.
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, King Qian was stunned. The gloomy expression on his face disappeared as his eyes shone brightly like the stars in the night sky.
"He accepted the challenge?"
As for Situ Ming, who was originally still dripping with cold sweat, after hearing the words of the middle-aged man who barged in, his eyes lit up and his face revealed an expression of ecstasy.
This news really came at the right time!
At this moment, both King Qian and Situ Ming were overjoyed.
If there was anyone present who was unhappy, it would be Ye Feng.
"Damn it! Duan Lingtian actually accepted the challenge! What the hell was he doing earlier? "
Ye Feng's expression was extremely grave. However, nobody was paying attention to his expression at this moment.
"Quick! Go and get Master Lin! "
King Qian said to the middle-aged man anxiously.
"Yes."
The middle-aged man responded and left.
At the same time, this news had also spread in the capital of Windfall Nation.
For a moment, this even more shocking news completely suppressed the previous' heavy news'.
"After Master Duan announced his departure from the Situ Clan, he's going to accept the challenge from the strongest powerhouse on the Heaven Ranking from the Southern Ridge Yuan Mansion?"
Many people's eyes lit up with anticipation.
"I told you my idol won't back out before the battle!"
"Why do I remember you were still spitting on Master Duan this morning? Why did you suddenly change your mind? "
"Ptui! Don't accuse me wrongly. I didn't say that. "
"I'm sure you said that. Do you dare to swear on the lightning penalty oath?"
"…"
Similar discussions were happening everywhere in the capital of Windfall Nation.
Duan Lingtian's reputation that had plummeted suddenly rose from hell to heaven. He was praised everywhere in the capital of Windfall Nation.
At the same time, the Situ Clan was being criticized instead.
"Hurmph! It must be the Situ Clan who forced Master Duan to leave. I'd like to see the expression on the Situ Clan's people's faces if Master Duan wins this battle. "
"Situ Clan? Ptui! Ungrateful b * stards! Have they forgotten how Master Duan pulled their Great Young Master back from the gates of hell? "
