Ever since he had known Han Xuenai, this was the first time Duan Lingtian had seen Han Xuenai in such a state.
(Author's Note)
In his eyes, Han Xuenai had always been an optimistic, cheerful, and lively girl. However, when he saw Han Xuenai again, she gave him a strange feeling.
It was obvious all of this had something to do with the marriage proposal from the Young Mansion Master of Flushing Void Mansion.
"Flushing Void Mansion!"
When Duan Lingtian saw the girl whom he regarded as his biological sister so sad, he could not help but be enraged. If it was possible, he wished he could annihilate the Flushing Void Mansion so that Xue Nai could return to being a carefree girl again.
However, he also knew that with his current strength, let alone annihilating the Flushing Void Mansion, even a random powerhouse from the Flushing Void Mansion would be able to kill him with a flip of his hand!
Even if he had the Jasper Celestial Sword in his hand, he still had the Devilseal Tablet.
The Devilseal Tablet was only useful against Devil Cultivators.
With his current strength, even if he fully activated the Jasper Celestial Sword, he could only kill an Intermediate Pristine Saint Stage Martial or Dao Cultivator at most.
This little bit of strength was nothing in the Greenwave Han Mansion, let alone the Flushing Void Mansion that was much more powerful than the Greenwave Han Mansion.
When Duan Lingtian came to the Greenwave Han Mansion, he wanted to know if his fiancée, Li Fei, was in the Greenwave Han Mansion. He had also planned to ask Xue Nai about this as soon as he saw her. However, Xue Nai's loss of composure and Xue Nai's sadness made him unable to ask. He could only comfort Xue Nai softly.
The current Duan Lingtian was no longer as cold as before.
When he entered the mansion where Han Xuenai was staying, he had already cast the Disguising Secret Tactic to restore his appearance.
When Qing Nu first saw him yesterday, she did not recognize him as well.
However, after he reminded her through Voice Transmission and explained what happened when he first met her, she did not suspect his identity at all.
"Sigh."
Qing Nu couldn't help but sigh as she watched the scene from afar.
She had watched Han Xuenai grow up. In her eyes, this Young Miss had always been carefree until the Young Mansion Master of Chong Xu Mansion came to propose marriage … Since then, this Young Miss had changed. She had become taciturn, and she did not even speak much to her.
Many times, she even thought of killing the Young Mansion Master of the Chongxu Mansion. As long as the Young Mansion Master of the Chongxu Mansion died, this marriage would naturally cease to exist.
However, putting aside the fact that the Vice Mansion Master of Chongxu Mansion was accompanied by a powerhouse whose strength far surpassed his own, it would be very difficult for her to succeed.
Even if she really killed the Young Mansion Master of Chongxu Mansion, the Greenwave Han Mansion would definitely be implicated as well. After all, she was a member of the Greenwave Han Mansion. Not only would she have to bear the responsibility for what she did, but the Greenwave Han Mansion would also have to bear the responsibility as well.
In the area surrounding the Greenwave Han Mansion, who did not know that she, Qing Nu, was from the Greenwave Han Mansion?
At that time, even if she announced that she was leaving the Greenwave Han Mansion, the Chong Xu Mansion would definitely vent their anger on the Greenwave Han Mansion.
For this reason, although Qing Nu's heart ached for Han Xuenai, there was nothing she could do about it.
However, even though Qing Nu could not help Han Xuenai escape from the evil clutches of the Young Mansion Master of Chongxu Mansion, she was still able to block the Divine Consciousness that was approaching them from all directions.
Although she did not know why Duan Lingtian had disguised himself when he was outside, she knew Duan Lingtian would not do that for no reason. For this reason, she extended her Divine Consciousness out to prevent the Divine Consciousness of those Saint Stage powerhouses who were hiding in the surroundings of the mansion from getting close to them.
In this way, those people who were hiding in the dark would not be able to discover Duan Lingtian's true appearance.
After a long while, Han Xuenai finally left Duan Lingtian's embrace. She wiped her tears and forced a smile on her face with great difficulty. "Brother Ling Tian, how did you find your way here?"
"I wasn't sure if you were from the Greenwave Han Mansion or not. I just wanted to try my luck … As it turns out, my luck is pretty good."
Duan Lingtian smiled. However, the worry in the depths of his eyes could not be concealed.
"Brother Ling Tian, let's go in and talk."
After glancing at the surroundings of the mansion, Han Xuenai called out to Duan Lingtian before leaving the courtyard and entering the house.
After entering the house, Han Xuenai closed the door behind her while Qing Nu stood guard outside like a door-god, providing an absolutely safe environment for Han Xuenai and Duan Lingtian.
"Xue Nai, did your Sister Fei 'er and the three little fellows come to the Greenwave Han Mansion?"
Duan Lingtian took a deep breath and looked at Han Xuenai as he asked in a slightly impatient manner.
"Yes."
Han Xuenai nodded.
"Then where's your Sister Fei 'er now? Is she in your mansion? "
Duan Lingtian's eyes lit up immediately. His face was filled with eagerness as though he wished he could grow a pair of wings and fly to Li Fei's side immediately.
"She was here before, but now …"
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Han Xuenai smiled wryly.
Before she could finish her sentence, Duan Lingtian interrupted her. "What happened now?"
At that moment, Duan Lingtian frowned.
"Brother Ling Tian, Sister Fei 'er was taken away by your father's men not long after she gave birth to the child …"
When Han Xuenai said this, a hint of doubt appeared on her face. "Brother Ling Tian, who exactly is your father?"
"My father's men?"
Duan Lingtian's frown deepened. "Xue Nai, what exactly happened? Tell me clearly."
Following that, under Han Xuenai's narration, Duan Lingtian also understood the ins and outs of the matter to a certain extent.
"Tell Miss Xue Nai that my Young Madam and her son have followed me home."
These were the exact words of the powerhouse who took Li Fei and her son away.
If he addressed Li Fei as Young Madam, then Duan Lingtian would be the powerhouse's Young Master!
At that moment, Duan Lingtian's joy from knowing that he had a son was completely overshadowed by the shock brought by the mysterious powerhouse. That mysterious powerhouse could enter and leave the Greenwave Han Mansion as though he was entering a place where no one could stop him. One could just imagine how powerful his strength was.
"Such a powerhouse is Father's man?"
Duan Lingtian was a little dumbfounded. He felt that this was a little too ridiculous.
Although he knew that his cheapskate father had also had a fortuitous encounter back then and possessed a shocking cultivation base, he even managed to gain a foothold in the Dao Martial Saint Land.
However, he only thought that his cheapskate father was an ordinary Martial Cultivator in the Dao Martial Saint Land. It did not cross his mind that his cheapskate father actually had such a powerhouse under his command.
"Father, how many things are you hiding from me?"
The moment Duan Lingtian thought of this, he could not help but smile wryly.
After learning that Li Fei and her son were taken away by his cheapskate father's man, Duan Lingtian felt relieved. At the same time, he asked Han Xuenai, "Xue Nai, other than calling your Sister Fei 'er Young Madam, did that person say who he is?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes were filled with anticipation.
This was because as long as he knew who the mysterious powerhouse was, perhaps he would be able to find his cheapskate father and mother and reunite with his family.
"No."
Han Xuenai smiled wryly. "He only said that he's from your family and did not reveal his identity."
Upon hearing this, Duan Lingtian was a little disappointed.
"Brother Ling Tian …"
Suddenly, Han Xuenai seemed to have recalled something. She wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Xue Nai, is there anything you want to tell me?"
Duan Lingtian could see that something was amiss.
"Brother Ling Tian, there's something that I can't hide from you."
Han Xuenai gritted her teeth and told him about how Han Jin Nian, the grandson of the Greenwave Han Mansion's Supreme Elder, wanted to scheme against Li Fei but was killed by the mysterious powerhouse at the critical moment. "Perhaps, that powerhouse has been hiding by Sister Fei 'er's side to protect her since a long time ago. That's why he made his move when Han Jin Nian was plotting against Sister Fei' er.
After he was exposed, he brought Sister Fei 'er away. "
This was Han Xuenai's guess.
"Han Jin Nian!"
Duan Lingtian's eyes were filled with killing intent at this moment. His entire body emitted waves of cold aura that made people feel as though they had fallen into an ice cave.
Even Han Xuenai could not withstand the aura on Duan Lingtian's body.
"Brother Ling Tian's current strength is actually stronger than mine?"
Han Xuenai's heart skipped a beat as a look of disbelief appeared in her eyes.
In fact, she was currently a Perfection Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator. However, she still felt pressured by the cold aura on her Brother Ling Tian's body. Although it was not as strong as a Saint Stage powerhouse, it was not far off.
Due to this reason, she could vaguely deduce Duan Lingtian's cultivation base.
Imminent Saint Stage!
"Brother Ling Tian, Han Jin Nian is already dead."
Han Xuenai said softly, trying to wake Duan Lingtian up.
Only then did Duan Ling Tian return to his senses, and after taking a deep breath, he calmed his restless feelings.
To him, Li Fei was his reverse scale.
Anyone who dared to scheme against Li Fei would have touched his reverse scale.
Every dragon had a reverse scale. Those who touched it would die.
It was the same for him as well.
"Xue Nai, when I was in Greenwave City, I heard that the Supreme Elder of Greenwave Han Mansion led a group of people to support your marriage to the Young Mansion Master of Chong Xu Mansion … How many Supreme Elders are there in your Greenwave Han Mansion?"
Duan Lingtian asked as he looked at Han Xuenai.
"Only one."
Han Xuenai's eyes gleamed sharply as she said with a grave expression, "I suspect the reason the Young Mansion Master of Chong Xu Mansion suddenly came to our Greenwave Han Mansion is because of Han Xin!"
"Han Xin?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned. He did not know how to react for a moment.
"Han Xin is the only Supreme Elder in our Greenwave Han Mansion. He's also Han Jin Nian's biological grandfather."
Han Xuenai said.
"Why do you say that?"
Upon hearing that the other party was Han Jin Nian's grandfather, naturally, Duan Lingtian did not have a good impression of him. However, he was curious about Han Xuenai's words.
According to Han Xuenai, the reason the Young Mansion Master of Chong Xu Mansion came to the Greenwave Han Mansion must have something to do with Han Xin.
"Our Greenwave Han Mansion has no connection with Chong Xu Mansion, and the Young Mansion Master of Chong Xu Mansion has never come to our place before … However, not long after Han Jin Nian died, the Young Mansion Master of Chong Xu Mansion came. It's fine if he came, but when he was a guest in our Greenwave Han Mansion, Han Xin pretended that he had something to tell me and called me over. "
When Han Xuenai reached this part of the sentence, killing intent that was directed at Han Xin began to emanate from her body. "It did not cross my mind that the Young Mansion Master of Chong Xu Mansion would also be here! Now that I think about it, all of this is just a trap set up by Han Xin to target me. "
