"Bring me to see Xue Nai?"
Upon hearing the Greenwave City Governor's words, Duan Lingtian was stunned. However, when he thought of Han Xuenai's current situation, he felt relieved again.
It seemed like things might be as he had guessed.
Han Xuenai was most likely grounded.
"Thank you, City Governor."
Duan Lingtian nodded and thanked the Greenwave City Governor.
"If you're really a friend of the Eldest Miss, then you're a guest of our Greenwave Han Mansion.
Naturally, I won't treat you badly, "the Greenwave City Governor said.
The meaning of his words was obvious. Everything was for the sake of Han Xuenai.
If Duan Lingtian was not Han Xuenai's friend, he would not have bothered at all.
In fact, this was understandable.
As the Greenwave City Governor, the person in charge of the Greenwave Han Mansion's branch in Greenwave City, he was also an elder with a high position in the Greenwave Han Mansion. With the Greenwave Han Mansion as his backing, in addition to his own strength, it was only natural that he would have high standards but low abilities. He would not take ordinary people seriously.
The reason why he treated Duan Lingtian so politely was mostly for the sake of his Eldest Miss, Han Xuenai.
If he confirmed that Han Xuenai did not have such a friend, then he would not be so polite anymore. Not only would he not be polite, but he would also punish Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian could somewhat guess the Greenwave City Governor's thoughts, but he was not worried at all.
This was because he did know the Eldest Miss of the Greenwave Han Mansion. She was Han Xuenai, the Han Xuenai who was always by his side, calling him Brother Ling Tian and Brother Ling Tian.
"City Governor, can you ask your man to pass a message to Xue Nai on my behalf?"
Duan Lingtian believed that Han Xuenai would immediately think of him when she heard the name 'Ling Tian.'
However, just in case, he decided to be fully prepared.
"Of course."
Blue Wave City's City Lord nodded in agreement. In his opinion, this was just a small matter.
"Tell your men to tell Xue Nai that 'Brother Ling Tian is here'."
Duan Lingtian said.
Brother Ling Tian?
Hearing Duan Lingtian's words, the Blue Wave City Lord's pupils shrank slightly.
To a certain extent, this kind of address also frightened him.
After all, if they weren't close to each other, they wouldn't call each other that.
Based on what this young man named Ling Tian said, the Eldest Miss of their Greenwave Han Mansion actually called him Big Brother Ling Tian?
In that instant, his attitude underwent a complete change.
"Brother Ling Tian, let me take you to rest first."
At this time, when he greeted Duan Lingtian again, the Blue Wave City Lord's tone was much warmer. It was as though the person standing in front of him was not someone he met for the first time but an old friend he had known for many years.
The change in the Blue Wave City Lord's attitude was within Duan Lingtian's expectations so he was not surprised at all.
After leaving the main hall, the Blue Wave City Lord took the initiative to introduce himself, "My name is Han Qing, and I'm the External Affairs Elder of the Greenwave Han Mansion. I'm usually in charge of all the affairs in Blue Wave City … If Brother Ling Tian doesn't mind, you can just call me Big Brother. Calling me City Lord seems a little distant."
If it was an ordinary Martial Cultivator who had not broken through to the Saint Stage, Han Qing would not call him brother at all.
Even if his innate talent was very high and was not inferior to Duan Lingtian.
The reason Han Qing humbled himself and called Duan Lingtian brother was mostly because of the Eldest Miss of their Greenwave Han Mansion, Han Xuenai.
In the Greenwave Han Mansion, although he was an elder and his position was not low, compared to Han Xue Nai, he was still far behind.
Most importantly, he respected the Mansion Master of their Greenwave Han Mansion, who was also Han Xuenai's father. This was because the Mansion Master had once saved his life when he was young. Otherwise, he would have died a long time ago.
Due to this reason, he also respected Han Xuenai, the daughter of the Mansion Master, very much.
"Big Brother Han Qing."
Duan Lingtian had always been the kind of person who would return the favor when others were polite to him. Moreover, until now, Han Qing had always left a good impression on him.
When Han Qing heard how Duan Lingtian addressed him, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
In fact, after Duan Lingtian asked his man to pass on the message to Han Xuenai, he was almost 100% certain that Duan Lingtian was Han Xuenai's friend. Otherwise, he would not have dared to act so presumptuously in the Greenwave City Governor's Estate unless he had a death wish.
However, the cold-looking purple-clad young man in front of him did not look like someone who had a death wish no matter what.
Most importantly, the Eldest Miss of their Greenwave Han Mansion seemed to have a good relationship with this person. Due to this reason, there was a drastic change in his attitude at that moment as well.
"Big Brother Han Qing, although I've just arrived in Greenwave City, I've also heard that the Young Mansion Master of Flushing Void Mansion is going to marry Xue Nai.
This matter … "Duan Lingtian looked at Han Qing. Before he could finish his sentence, he noticed that Han Qing's face had turned grave.
"That Young Mansion Master of Flushing Void Mansion is purely a toad lusting after a swan's flesh! He's just a playboy rich kid who's dissolute by nature. He's not worthy of the Eldest Miss at all! "
Han Qing said in a deep voice. It was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with this marriage.
His life was saved by the Mansion Master of Greenwave Han Mansion. Naturally, he would stand on Han Xuenai's side in this matter.
"However, I heard that the Flushing Void Mansion is a fourth-rate force … I'm afraid it's not easy for the Greenwave Han Mansion to shirk away from this matter, right?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
"It's indeed very difficult to shirk away from this matter."
Han Qing nodded. After taking a deep breath, he continued to say, "Right now, our Greenwave Han Mansion is divided into two camps regarding this matter … One of the camps, led by Lord Mansion Master, is unwilling to agree to this marriage. The other camp, led by the Supreme Elder, wants the Eldest Miss to agree to this marriage so as to avoid offending the Flushing Void Mansion. "
"Which side has the upper hand now?"
Duan Lingtian asked with a frown.
"The Supreme Elder's side."
A hint of anger flashed in Han Qing's eyes as he said in a deep voice, "To be honest, I didn't realize there were so many cowards in our Greenwave Han Mansion in the past … Faced with the Flushing Void Mansion, each and every one of them is terrified. They're deeply afraid that the people from the Flushing Void Mansion will kill them. Aren't they ashamed of using a little girl's lifetime happiness in exchange for their own safety?! "
Upon hearing Han Qing's words, Duan Lingtian also realized that the situation was not looking good.
"Big Brother Han Qing, can you tell me about the situation in the Greenwave Han Mansion?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
"Brother Ling Tian, it's not that I don't trust you … It's just that this matter concerns some of our Greenwave Han Mansion's secrets. Before the Eldest Miss confirms your identity, it's not appropriate for me to tell you too much."
Han Qing said to Duan Lingtian apologetically, "How about this? As long as the Eldest Miss confirms your identity, I'll tell you everything about the situation in our Greenwave Han Mansion … What do you think?"
"Big Brother Han Qing, you don't have to feel apologetic. This is human nature, and I can understand."
Duan Lingtian could understand Han Qing's concerns, so he did not continue to ask.
Under Han Qing's arrangement, Duan Lingtian stayed in the City Governor's Estate in Greenwave City. Han Qing had arranged a spacious courtyard for him. There was a spacious field in the courtyard where he could practice his martial techniques. Apart from that, there were also a few empty rooms.
The room was spotless. It was obvious that someone had cleaned it regularly.
After bidding farewell to Duan Lingtian, Han Qing left. He still had something to do.
Although he did not find Duan Lingtian's identity suspicious, he still had to send someone to the Greenwave Han Mansion's estate to look for the Eldest Miss, Han Xuenai, to confirm it just in case.
After Han Qing left, Duan Lingtian returned to his room. After closing the door, he entered the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and continued to cultivate.
"It'll be great if I can make a breakthrough to the Saint Stage … Who knows, I might be able to help Xue Nai."
When Duan Lingtian thought of Han Xuenai's current situation, his heart felt a little heavy.
In his eyes, Xue Nai was his sister. A sister that he needed to protect and care for. She was not much different from his biological sister.
This matter concerned Xue Nai's happiness. Even he was anxious.
"Although Xue Nai's father is the Greenwave Han Mansion's Mansion Master, as a fifth-rated force, it's naturally impossible for the Mansion Master to have the final say! Unless Xue Nai's father's strength is strong enough to overpower everything and everyone in the Greenwave Han Mansion. However, based on the current situation, it's obvious that Xue Nai's father's strength has not reached that stage yet. "
When Duan Lingtian thought of Han Qing's words earlier, his heart felt even heavier as though there was a huge rock pressing on it.
Taking a deep breath, Duan Lingtian tried to calm himself down and immerse himself in his cultivation.
While Duan Lingtian was cultivating, a person also walked out of the Greenwave City Governor's Estate.
After this person left the City Governor's Estate, he left Greenwave City and headed north. After spending a day and a night, he finally entered a deep mountain that was surrounded by clouds and mist.
Behind the deep mountain was the Greenwave Han Mansion's estate.
He was from the Greenwave City Governor's Estate as well as the Greenwave Han Mansion's estate. Due to this reason, he did not encounter any obstacles along the way and easily arrived at the central area of the Greenwave Han Mansion's estate.
"I'm the Deputy Commander of the Greenwave City Governor's Estate's Estate's Estate Guards.
I have something to ask of the Young Miss of the Greenwave Han Mansion, "a curly-bearded man dressed in armor who was standing outside the mansion where Han Xuenai, the Greenwave Han Mansion's Young Miss, lived.
At once, a maid went in to report.
"The Young Miss has asked you to go in."
Soon after, the maid came out again and brought the curly-bearded man in.
There was a vast lake in the backyard of the mansion. There was a pavilion on one side of the lake.
There was a person sitting on one side of the pavilion. It was a woman with a peerless appearance. She leaned there quietly as though everything around her paled in comparison to her beauty.
However, there was a hint of worry between the woman's brows as she stared at the lake in front of her. No one knew what she was thinking about.
"Young Miss."
The woman only snapped back to her senses when the maid spoke. At the same time, she looked at the curly-bearded man beside the maid and forced a smile as she asked, "Is Uncle Qing looking for me?"
The other party was from the Greenwave City Governor's Estate. The only person she was familiar with in the Greenwave City Governor's Estate was Han Qing, who was also the City Governor of Greenwave City.
"Yes, Eldest Young Miss."
