"Grand Elder, shouldn't you give me a good explanation for some things?"
The Su Clan's Patriarch, Su Bo Ya, had a solemn expression mixed with a trace of anger, and his eyes stared fixedly at the old man before him.
"Patriarch, what are you doing?"
A bad premonition arose within Su Nan's heart.
He understood the Patriarch and knew that it was impossible for the Patriarch to get so angry over a small matter.
"Paladin Academy's Zhan Xiong just left our Su Clan."
Su Bo Ya's expression was extremely unsightly as he said in a deep voice, "Grand Elder, I handed that matter to you because I believed you could handle it well, and also because Su Tong is your grandson … But what you did this time was indeed thoughtless. Not only were you unable to kill that Duan Lingtian, you even brought trouble to our Su Clan."
Hearing Su Bo Ya's words, Su Nan reacted and his expression changed.
Could it be that the plan failed?
"Patriarch, what's going on?"
Su Nan's breathing became slightly hurried.
"Just a moment ago, Paladin Academy's Vice Dean Zhan sent over the corpses of Su Ping and Su Zhi …"
Su Bo Ya took a deep breath.
Su Ping? Su Zhi?
Su Nan's expression changed. "Patriarch, Su Ping and Su Zhi are dead?"
Su Ping and Su Zhi were precisely the chess pieces in his plan, the chess pieces that cooperated with Su Li to kill the Duan Lingtian.
"Exactly, not only are they dead, they were killed by that Duan Lingtian!"
Su Bo Ya said in a deep voice, "If they succeeded and killed the Duan Lingtian, then it would be fine … At most, Paladin Academy would expel them, and it wouldn't affect our Su Clan at all. But not only did they fail to kill the Duan Lingtian, they were even killed by the Duan Lingtian. Now, for the sake of giving an explanation to the Duan Lingtian, that Paladin Academy's Vice Dean Zhan isn't willing to let the matter go! "
"Do you know that because of this matter, Vice Dean Zhan reduced our Su Clan's recommendation quota to Paladin Academy from five to three?!"
As Su Bo Ya finished speaking, the anger on his face became even more intense!
In the past, the five quotas weren't even enough for the Su Clan's higher-ups. Now that it had been reduced to three, one could imagine what sort of expression those higher-ups would have when they found out about all this.
Hearing this, Su Nan's body trembled and his face went pale.
He had really gone for wool and come home shorn!
"No … Impossible … If Su Li hadn't drugged them, they wouldn't have acted against that Duan Lingtian!"
Su Nan was unwilling to believe that all of this was real.
"Hmph!"
Su Bo Ya's face sank as he grunted coldly, then flicked his sleeve and left. "Grand Elder, feel free to speak if you're unable to deal with this matter, and I'll send someone else to deal with it."
After Su Bo Ya left, Su Nan thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.
How did his plan, which he thought was perfect, end up like this?
There was only a single possibility, and that was Su Li didn't play by the rules and even betrayed him, joining forces with the Duan Lingtian to kill two Su Clan disciples.
At this moment.
"Great Elder, here is a letter for you."
Right at this moment, a humble voice sounded out from outside the courtyard. A Su Clan disciple passed a letter to Su Nan.
Su Nan received the letter and opened it to take a look.
"Great Elder Su Nan: I'm truly sorry. I accidentally dropped my wine cup during lunch, causing your people to mistakenly think that it was the secret signal to kill Duan Lingtian …"
Signed off, Su Li.
There was only a short sentence on the letter, yet it angered Su Nan to the point his body trembled violently, and the vital blood in his body roiled.
"Pu!"
In the end, Su Nan was forcefully angered to the point he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Su Nan's eyes flickered with a trace of a bloodthirsty sheen, and his icy cold voice revealed a bone-piercing coldness. "Su Li, I'll make your entire family die a horrible death!!"
Nearby, Su Tong's expression was extremely unsightly.
He realized that his enemy, Duan Lingtian, had escaped calamity.
Paladin Academy.
On a large tree at the side of the Martial Arts Practice Grounds, Duan Lingtian sat cross-legged in cultivation, and his entire body was immersed in a tranquil state.
"Duan Lingtian!"
Suddenly, an urgent voice jolted Duan Lingtian awake.
Duan Lingtian opened his eyes and noticed that Tian Hu was hastily running over from afar ….
Duan Lingtian leaped down from the large tree and went up to greet him. "Tian Hu, what happened?"
"Duan Lingtian, Su Li left."
Tian Hu laughed bitterly.
"Left?"
Duan Lingtian didn't react to Tian Hu's words for a moment.
"This is the letter Su Li left for you."
It wasn't until Tian Hu handed him a letter that his expression turned serious.
He opened the letter.
"Duan Lingtian, when you see this letter, I should have already ridden the Ferghana Horse I borrowed money from you and returned home …."
"When I left the Su Clan Estate last night, I had already made up my mind. Even if I, Su Li, have to give up my great future, I won't harm my own friends …. When I return this time, I'll take my parents away. As for where to go, I haven't thought of it yet. Maybe I'll leave the Crimson Sky Kingdom."
...
"Forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye, and help me say goodbye to Xiao Yu and the others."
"Maybe one day in the future, we'll meet again …. At that time, I'll return the money I owe you."
Signed by: Su Li.
Crash!
Duan Lingtian stretched out his hand and crumpled the letter into a ball.
In the letter that Su Li had written to him, other than these words of farewell, he had also described in detail what had happened …
Su Li left Paladin Academy this time and gave up his own future.
The first reason was for the safety of his parents.
The second reason was for this friend of his!
At this moment, many of the doubts in Duan Lingtian's heart were solved.
Why did those two Su Clan members overestimate their abilities and make things difficult for him when Su Li accidentally dropped a cup at noon ….
It turned out that those two Su Clan members thought that Su Li had given him an Origin Freezing Pill.
"Su Li."
Duan Lingtian's heart trembled.
Although Su Li was usually taciturn, at this moment, he was able to feel Su Li's friendship.
For this friend of his, Su Li was willing to give up his great future!
"Su Li, I believe that we'll surely meet again."
Duan Lingtian took a deep breath. A trace of anticipation flashed within his eyes, and his heart was slightly heavy.
Duan Lingtian didn't know that after parting today, the next time he saw Su Li again would be many years later ….
"Duan Lingtian, Su Li left?"
At this moment, Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun came over as well.
"You guys take a look."
Duan Lingtian sighed and passed the letter in his hand to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu opened the letter, and Xiao Xun and Tian Hu went over to read it as well ….
"That Su Clan Grand Elder is despicable!"
After Tian Hu finished reading the letter, his face was extremely gloomy, and he gnashed his teeth in anger.
He and Su Li had gotten to know each other through fighting, and they'd even entered the Star General Department together. In his heart, he'd long since taken Su Li to be his good friend, but he'd never thought that Su Li would leave just like this.
In the future, he didn't know if there would be a day when they would meet again!
After Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun finished reading the letter, their eyes were suffused with rage, and mixed with a trace of admiration.
For the sake of his friend, Su Li gave up his great future and left just like this ….
Such actions were worthy of respect!
Duan Lingtian once again returned to the large tree. Leaning against the tree trunk, he looked up at the azure blue sky through the luxuriant branches and leaves ….
His eyes gradually narrowed.
"Su Clan …. Since you guys want to play, then I'll play with you!"
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth curled into a cold smile.
To a certain extent, Su Li's departure caused Duan Lingtian's attitude to undergo a slight change.
The current him seemed to have once again returned to the cold and unfeeling Weapons Specialist.
Dusk.
Outside Paladin Academy, a luxurious carriage stopped at the side of the road.
The person driving the carriage was an old man with white eyebrows. He had an extraordinary bearing, and it was obvious with a single glance that he wasn't a simple figure.
Duan Lingtian had just walked out of Paladin Academy's gate when he noticed the carriage as well, but he didn't pay it any attention. After bidding farewell to Xiao Xun and Xiao Yu, he directly walked forward.
Just when he passed by the side of the carriage.
Whoosh!
A figure that was swift like a bolt of lightning was like a ghost as it obstructed Duan Lingtian's path.
Only now did Duan Lingtian notice that the person that appeared before him was precisely the old man with white eyebrows that drove the carriage.
"Hmm?"
Duan Lingtian's face sank. At this moment, he could feel the unusual movements of the two little pythons hidden within his sleeve.
Relying on the experience of Samsara Emperor Wu and his own Spiritual Force, he could deduce the old man's cultivation. This old man was an expert at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage or above.
In terms of strength.
He wasn't even inferior to the Third Prince's manager, Hu San!
However, this old man with white eyebrows obviously wasn't a Half-step Void Stage expert like the Divine Might Marquis.
Unless such a figure was able to launch a sneak attack when he wasn't on guard.
Otherwise, by relying on the Bone Corrosion Inscription, he had the confidence to instantly kill the old man!
"You're Duan Lingtian?"
The old man with white eyebrows asked in a low voice, and he used a condescending gaze to examine Duan Lingtian.
"F * * k off!"
Duan Lingtian's gaze was icy cold and his face sank. He'd always disdained to pay attention to an old fellow like this that took advantage of his seniority!
Moreover, he still had proper business to do and didn't have time to waste with this old fellow.
The old man with white eyebrows was stunned. Obviously, he didn't expect that Duan Lingtian would dare have such an attitude towards him. Instantly, a trace of rage appeared on his face …
Just when he was about to flare up.
"Old Bai, don't forget proper business."
An emotionless male voice sounded out from the carriage, causing the old man with white eyebrows to instantly restrain his rage.
Duan Lingtian's brows raised and he was slightly surprised.
Looks like the person within the carriage wasn't simple.
"Duan Lingtian, my Master invites you."
The old man with white eyebrows suppressed his rage as he spoke to Duan Lingtian.
"Sorry, I'm not interested."
Duan Lingtian shrugged and didn't mind.
"Stop!"
Right at this moment, a delicate shout sounded out from within the carriage. This time, it was the voice of a woman.
He seemed to have heard this voice somewhere before, but Duan Lingtian was unable to recall it for a moment.
Subsequently, the woman's voice sounded out once more.
This time, she was speaking to the man within the carriage. "Cousin, this Duan Lingtian doesn't know how to appreciate favors. In my opinion, we should directly ask Old Bai to kill him."
Subsequently, the carriage went silent.
"It's her?"
Duan Lingtian finally recalled. Wasn't this voice that of Tong Li?
Then the person she called 'Cousin' … …
