Deep into the night, Duan Lingtian called Xiong Quan over and passed him a large pile of silver.
"Take these 50,000,000 silver and continue to purchase the materials I asked you to buy last time."
Duan Lingtian instructed.
50,000,000 silver?
Xiong Quan was stunned. Where did the Young Master get so much money?
However, he was an intelligent person and didn't ask any questions as he respectfully put away the silver. "Yes, Young Master."
Duan Lingtian returned to his room and used the last batch of materials Xiong Quan bought last time to once again inscribe a Bone Corrosion Inscription on the Violet Myrtle Flexible Sword.
Today, he could be considered to have completely experienced the might of the Bone Corrosion Inscription!
Even the old man beside the Third Prince, an existence at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul Stage, didn't even have the time to react before being struck …
The bones in his entire body turned into ashes, and he was deader than dead!
To Duan Lingtian, the Bone Corrosion Inscription was a life-saving talisman.
He could imagine that if it wasn't for the Bone Corrosion Inscription tonight, he would have already been killed by the old man beside the Third Prince.
"Third Prince, I, Duan Lingtian, will remember your gift today."
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed with a trace of a cold light.
After catching his breath, Duan Lingtian cultivated the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique's Raging Python Form until late into the night before falling asleep.
The next morning, Duan Lingtian went to class in the Star Mastermind Department's classroom as usual.
During this time, someone came to look for Sima Chang Feng.
Sima Chang Feng left for a while before returning. He looked at Duan Lingtian with a strange gaze. "Duan Lingtian, come with me."
Although Duan Lingtian felt it was strange, he still followed Sima Chang Feng out.
"Teacher, did you call me out for something?"
Duan Lingtian asked, puzzled.
"Someone wants to see you."
Sima Chang Feng said.
Just when Duan Lingtian was wondering who wanted to see him, Sima Chang Feng had already brought him to an empty space at a corner of Paladin Academy. There was a luxurious carriage parked there.
Two old men stood on both sides of the carriage.
Relying on the experience of the Rebirth Martial Emperor and his formidable Spiritual Force, Duan Ling Tian was able to determine that the strengths of these two old men weren't inferior to the old man he killed with the Bone Corrosion Inscription last night.
"Go."
Sima Chang Feng nodded at Duan Lingtian, "I'll wait for you here."
Duan Lingtian walked over curiously. After getting into the carriage, he was stunned.
The person sitting in the carriage was none other than the Third Prince whom he had just met yesterday.
However, after one night, the Third Prince's face was no longer full of smiles like yesterday. His face was gloomy.
"Third Prince, are you looking for me?"
Duan Lingtian sat down in the carriage and frowned.
"Duan Lingtian, let's not beat around the bush … After Hu Bo left last night, he didn't return. Was he killed by your men?"
The Third Prince looked at Duan Lingtian. His gaze was like lightning as he stared fixedly at Duan Lingtian. He noticed all the changes on Duan Lingtian's face and was afraid that he would miss the slightest bit.
Duan Lingtian had a 'surprised' and 'puzzled' expression when he heard this. "Third Prince, who is Hu Bo?"
"Hmm?"
The Third Prince frowned. He had been observing the changes in Duan Lingtian's expression, but he noticed that when he mentioned Hu Bo, there was nothing wrong with Duan Lingtian's expression.
Could it be that it really had nothing to do with this Duan Lingtian?
That was impossible!
Yesterday, he sent Hu Bo to kill this Duan Lingtian.
However, after Hu Bo left, he didn't return. It was as if he had evaporated into thin air …
If it was only Hu Bo who went missing, then it would only be the loss of an eighth level Nascent Soul martial artist. At most, the Third Prince would feel heartache for a while.
But Hu Bo had another identity. He was the housekeeper of the Third Prince's estate and was in charge of his private wealth.
What he urgently wanted to find now was the Spatial Ring on Hu Bo's hand!
If he didn't have that Spatial Ring, then it would mean that the 70 to 80 million silver would be wasted, and his future days would be difficult …
Although he was a prince, he usually had to rely on himself to pay for all the expenses of his own estate.
Moreover, if he wanted to get more people to support his ascension to the throne in the future, then he would need to use that money to establish connections …
"Third Prince, why is your expression so unsightly? Did something happen? "
Duan Lingtian had a 'surprised' expression as he asked curiously.
"Duan Lingtian, Hu Bo, if you killed him, then you killed him … I won't fuss about it! However, you must hand over Hu Bo's Spatial Ring … Otherwise, you should know the consequences! "
The Third Prince's face was gloomy as he threatened.
He still wanted to gamble and test whether the Spatial Ring was in Duan Lingtian's hands.
"Third Prince, what do you mean by this? Someone in your estate died, and you want to blame it on my head? "
Duan Lingtian's face sank as he flew into a rage, "As for the Spatial Ring you mentioned, I don't know anything about it … Goodbye!"
After he finished speaking, Duan Lingtian didn't look back as he got off the carriage and left directly.
The Third Prince's face was extremely ugly.
It really wasn't him?
Then who was it …
Hu Bo was his trusted aide. He firmly believed that if it wasn't for Hu Bo's accident, Hu Bo would definitely not 'disappear'.
"Once I find out who did it, no matter who it is, I will let him die without a burial place!"
The Third Prince, who usually appeared approachable in front of others, now had a sinister expression, as if he had turned into a demon …
Soon, the Third Prince's luxurious carriage left under the gaze of Duan Lingtian and Sima Chang Feng.
"Duan Lingtian, why was the Third Prince looking for you?"
Sima Chang Feng curiously asked.
"I don't know … He just told me something about Hu Bo's death, and some Spatial Ring … It's inexplicable."
Duan Lingtian shrugged his shoulders with an innocent expression.
He wasn't surprised that the Third Prince came looking for him, but he didn't expect that the Third Prince's reaction would be so quick and so big.
It seemed that those silvers, to the Third Prince, were a large sum of money, and even had an extraordinary significance.
"Hu Bo? Spatial Ring? "
Sima Chang Feng was stunned, then immediately speculated, "As far as I know, the steward of the Third Prince's estate is called Hu San … Could it be that Hu San is dead? Hu San is the most trusted person of the Third Prince, and even controls the wealth of the Third Prince's estate. "
"Could it be that after Hu San died, the Spatial Ring in Hu San's hand that stored the wealth of the Third Prince's estate also disappeared?"
Duan Lingtian opened his eyes wide and pretended to be surprised.
"It should be. It's good that you know about this matter, don't spread it out … Or else, it will attract unnecessary trouble. That Third Prince isn't someone easy to deal with. "
Sima Chang Feng warned with a serious expression.
"I know, Teacher."
Duan Lingtian hurriedly nodded, a bright light flashing in his eyes.
The Third Prince was naturally not someone easy to deal with; he had already seen this at the banquet last night.
Actually, the moment he saw the Third Prince today, he had already guessed the Third Prince's purpose for coming.
When the Third Prince suddenly said that he had something to do with Hu San's death, he had seen the Third Prince's burning gaze ….
He naturally guessed the Third Prince's purpose.
Without a doubt, he wanted to test him to see if he was really related to Hu San's disappearance …
Unfortunately, the Third Prince wanted to make him reveal a flaw, but it was undoubtedly a waste of effort.
As the Weapon Specialist of his previous life, how could he be fooled by such a small matter?
Thinking of the Third Prince's last words, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
The Third Prince wanted him to spit out the things he had eaten?
Was that even possible?
Duan Lingtian and Sima Chang Feng returned to the classroom and continued with class.
At noon, after class, Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun walked over. "Duan Lingtian, why did Teacher Sima ask you to go out earlier?"
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled. "Nothing much, he just told me that there might be a battle at the Northwest border at any time … He asked me if I would be interested if Paladin Academy's' Star Mastermind 'Department sent someone there."
Duan Lingtian repeated the words that Sima Chang Feng had said to him ten days ago.
He took it as an excuse.
Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun, however, believed it. Xiao Xun sighed. "Logically speaking, if Paladin Academy really needs to send someone, only students of third grade and above would have the opportunity to go … Teacher Sima asked you this because he undoubtedly intends to strongly recommend you to go when the time comes."
"Maybe."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"Duan Lingtian, did you gain anything when you attended the Third Prince's banquet yesterday? That Third Prince probably tried his best to rope you in, right? "
Xiao Yu recalled what happened yesterday and asked with a smile.
Tried his best to rope him in?
Duan Lingtian's expression was slightly unnatural …
That Third Prince wished for nothing more than to kill him, yet still tried to rope him in?
However, he naturally wouldn't say it out loud. He lightly smiled and said, "My greatest gain yesterday was probably meeting the number one beauty in the Imperial City."
Number one beauty in the Imperial City?
Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun's eyes lit up. "You met Princess Bi Yao?"
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"If I knew earlier, I would have gone with you to join in the fun yesterday."
Xiao Yu had a face full of regret.
"You really wanted to join in the fun? Looks like the next time I see Little Qian, I'll have to pass on these words to her. "
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth curled into an evil smile.
The Little Qian he spoke of was precisely Lo Cheng's younger sister, Luo Qian.
Xiao Yu rolled his eyes at Duan Lingtian and asked curiously, "How is it? Is that Princess Bi Yao beautiful?"
Duan Lingtian nodded. "Her reputation is well-deserved … In terms of beauty, she's not inferior to your sister."
Xiao Yu was slightly moved.
He was well aware of the beauty of his sister, Xiao Lan. She was absolutely a peerless beauty.
"What? Xiao Yu, your sister is actually a beauty that can compare to Princess Bi Yao? "
Xiao Xun's eyes shone as if he had transformed into a hungry wolf.
"Xiao Xun, don't even think about hitting on my sister. My sister already has someone in her heart."
Xiao Yu shook his head and smiled.
"That's not a problem. I'll surely prove to her that I'm ten times, no, a hundred times stronger than the person in her heart!"
As far as Xiao Xun was concerned, the person Xiao Yu's sister took a fancy to should be someone from Aurora City.
In terms of natural talent, strength, and family background, that person couldn't catch up to him.
As a direct descendant of the Imperial City's Xiao Clan, Xiao Xun had great confidence in this aspect …
"Are you sure you're ten times, no, a hundred times stronger than that person?"
Xiao Yu's gaze became slightly strange.
"What? In your Aurora City, besides Duan Lingtian and you, there are other 'freaks'?"
Xiao Xun's heart jerked as he asked curiously.
Xiao Yu shook his head.
"Then what you mean is …"
