Walking out of the Divine Might Marquis Estate, Duan Lingtian looked at Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang. "Have the two of you gotten married?"
The two of them nodded, and a warm and happy smile appeared on their faces.
They obviously thought of their wives and children at home.
From the two of them, Duan Lingtian found out that their families lived in the Divine Might Marquis Estate.
After bringing the two of them back to the courtyard house, Duan Lingtian called over the housekeeper, Jing Ru. "Jing Ru, ask the servant girls to help them clean up two rooms."
"Yes, Young Master."
After Jing Ru left, Duan Lingtian looked at Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang, and his expression became serious. "I don't want anyone besides me, you two, and the people here to know about this courtyard house that I live in, including the Divine Might Marquis …. Understand?"
"Yes, Young Master."
Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang were both soldiers and understood that military orders were like mountains. In their eyes, Duan Lingtian would be their 'general' for the next year.
"In the future, the two of you stay at my place for three days, then return to the Divine Might Marquis Estate to stay for one day …. Also, when I go to Paladin Academy, the two of you can go back and accompany your families, and wait for me outside Paladin Academy in the evening."
Duan Lingtian continued to instruct.
"Thank you, Young Master."
Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang were already prepared to be separated from their families for a year, but they never expected that Duan Lingtian would be so reasonable, and their hearts were filled with gratitude.
Before long, Jing Ru asked the servant girls to clean up the rooms.
After Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang returned to their rooms, Duan Lingtian arrived at the rear courtyard.
"Scoundrel, who are the two people you brought back?"
Li Fei asked curiously.
"They're people I borrowed from Uncle Nie."
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled.
Li Fei nodded and didn't ask any further. She knew clearly in her heart that this man had his reasons for everything he did.
Before long, Duan Lingtian returned to his room after greeting the three girls.
He took out the stack of information he obtained from the Divine Might Marquis, Nie Yuan.
This information was all about the Su Clan's various businesses in the Imperial City, as well as the information of the people in charge of the various businesses.
After taking a casual look, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. "As expected of one of the Three Great Clans of the Royal City. The clan's businesses can be found all over the Royal City, from the outer city to the inner city … Inns, apothecaries, weapon shops, restaurants, they have everything that one could wish for."
"Also, these people in charge are all at the Nascent Soul Realm or above."
In next to no time, Duan Ling Tian's gaze descended onto one of the pages.
"Su Lie, third level of the Nascent Soul Stage, the nephew of the Su Clan's Grand Elder, Su Nan. He's in charge of the Bright Star Inn under the Su Clan in the inner city. He's fond of women, and his greatest hobby is forcefully seizing common women. He once burned and killed a family of seven for a common woman …"
Look at this.
Duan Lingtian's eyes narrowed and a cold light flashed in them. He sneered, "Like uncle, like nephew … You're the one!"
After putting away the stack of information into his storage ring, Duan Lingtian walked out of his room and arrived at the front courtyard.
After calling out Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang, Duan Lingtian brought them out of the courtyard house.
Presently, it was already deep into the night.
Not many people could be seen on the streets.
With Duan Lingtian in the lead, the three of them quickly arrived outside an inn.
"Young Master, this is?"
Zhang Qian was slightly bewildered.
"Murder!"
Duan Lingtian's gaze squinted and coldness suffused his eyes.
Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang shuddered and gasped. Probably only this youth could speak of 'murder' so casually.
Although they'd killed many people on the battlefield.
That was a battlefield, and this was the Imperial City. The meaning was completely different.
"This seems to be the Su Clan's business."
Zhang Qian's eyes squinted.
"Let's go!"
Duan Lingtian brought the two of them along the wall at the side of the inn and snuck up to the roof of the inn.
Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang obediently followed behind.
After searching for a while, Duan Lingtian finally confirmed the location of their target. They were hiding on the roof of the inn.
"Don't …. No …. I beg you …. Don't …."
A woman's cry for help came from the room.
Duan Lingtian gently lifted up a tile and clearly saw the scene inside.
A fatty with a belly full of fat was forcing himself on a plainly dressed, somewhat beautiful woman. The woman was obviously very unwilling and struggled with all her might.
"Bad luck!"
In an instant, the fatty lost his patience and kicked out, directly sending the woman flying. She crashed into the wall and completely lost all signs of life.
This scene caught Duan Lingtian and the other two somewhat off guard.
Although Duan Lingtian was furious, he still held his breath and his face was gloomy.
"Bastard!"
However, the faces of the two sturdy men beside him who had walked out from the battlefield changed greatly and they angrily shouted in a low voice.
"Who?!"
The fatty in the room noticed the commotion and his face changed greatly. When he raised his head, he noticed that a tile on the roof had been lifted up by someone.
"You two …. Really …."
Glancing helplessly at Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang, Duan Lingtian shook his head. "Looks like the first lesson I have to give you two is how to control your emotions …. Alright, now that they've been alarmed by you two, I'll leave it to you two to deal with."
As Duan Lingtian finished speaking, he helplessly spread out his hands.
Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang had long since been waiting for Duan Lingtian to say these words. As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, their legs shook as they directly stepped through the roof and directly flashed in.
Duan Lingtian followed them down.
"Where did you little thieves come from? You actually dare to have ideas about this lord? Didn't you ask who this lord is?"
The fatty with a bare upper body and a belly full of fat, the nephew of the Su Clan's Grand Elder Su Nan, Su Lie, looked at Duan Lingtian's group of three with a face full of disdain.
"However, since you've come, then stay behind!"
The fat on Su Lie's body trembled as 400 ancient mammoth silhouettes condensed above him and he revealed the strength of a third level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist as he pounced towards Duan Lingtian's group of three.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The fatty's palm descended and shook three times in the air before transforming into three palm prints that flashed directly towards Duan Lingtian's group of three.
"Hmph!"
Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang moved, and 100 ancient mammoth silhouettes each appeared above them ….
200 ancient mammoth silhouettes dashed out with an imposing manner that shot into the sky like a rainbow!
"Two seventh level Nascent Soul Stage martial artists!"
Su Lie was dumbstruck. He originally thought that it was only three little thieves, but he never imagined that there were actually two seventh level Nascent Soul Stage martial artists, and his face completely went pale.
"Who are you people?!"
Su Lie shouted in a stern voice.
But unfortunately, what awaited him was the enraged attacks of Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang ….
After easily shattering Su Lie's three palm prints, Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang's attacks descended onto Su Lie's body like a storm.
Instantly, Su Lie's fat body completely deformed, and he didn't make a sound.
Meanwhile, Duan Lingtian slowly walked over and took off the Spatial Ring on Su Lie's hand, directly establishing ownership over it.
When he saw the large pile of silver bills and silver ingots within the Spatial Ring, Duan Lingtian's eyes shone, and he muttered to himself. "These silver bills and silver ingots added together are at least 7 or 8 million silver …. Not bad."
"7 …. 7 or 8 million silver?"
Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang were dumbstruck.
"Young Master, who is this fatty?"
Zhang Qian fiercely swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and a bad premonition arose within his heart.
"You don't know who he is, yet you still charged up to give him a beating and killed him?"
Duan Lingtian was slightly speechless.
"Forget it, if I killed him, then I killed him. My target this time was originally him …. This person is called Su Lie, and seems to be the manager of this inn. His other identity is that he's a direct descendant of the Su Clan, and is also the nephew of the Su Clan's Grand Elder, Su Nan."
Duan Lingtian shrugged and finished speaking in one breath.
Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang's faces completely changed ….
A direct descendant of the Su Clan!
Heavens! Even the Divine Might Marquis wouldn't dare so brazenly kill a direct descendant of the Su Clan like this, right?
"What? You two don't think he deserved to die?"
Duan Lingtian noticed their expressions, and they had a strange expression. They seemed to be the ones who charged the fiercest earlier, right?
"Manager, what's the matter?"
Right at this moment, a wave of clamorous sounds came from outside the room, and it grew closer and closer.
"If you don't want to be discovered, then leave quickly!"
Duan Lingtian swept Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang with his gaze, then he took the first step to borrow strength from the room and jumped onto the penetrated roof.
Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang didn't dare think too much as they hurriedly followed him out.
If the members of the Su Clan were to find out that they killed this Su Lie, then even the Divine Might Marquis wouldn't be able to protect them!
This was a direct descendant of the Su Clan!
A large clan like the Su Clan valued face the most, and killing a direct descendant of the Su Clan was tantamount to slapping their face.
After leaving the inn and going around a few streets, Duan Lingtian finally slowed down his speed.
"How was it? Was it satisfying?"
Duan Lingtian looked at the two of them and grinned.
"It was satisfying …. But, that was a direct descendant of the Su Clan. If the Su Clan were to find out that it was us, then we'd be completely finished!"
Zhang Qian had a bitter smile on his face. He was now slightly regretting leaving the Divine Might Marquis Estate with this youth. He hadn't even learned anything yet, but had already provoked such a monstrous disaster.
Although Zhao Gang didn't say anything, judging from his expression, he obviously had the same thoughts as Zhang Qian.
"You also said that if they were to find out that it was us, then wouldn't it be fine if we didn't let them find out?"
Duan Lingtian was slightly speechless. Can't this guy's brain work?
Swish!
Duan Lingtian raised his hand and withdrew two large stacks of silver before passing them over to Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang. "Tonight's gains weren't bad …. This is for the two of you, 1,000,000 silver each!"
1,000,000 silver?
Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang shuddered and were completely dumbstruck.
Even if they were seventh level Nascent Soul martial artists and were 'generals' that were only below one person in the army, but the wealth they'd accumulated over half of their lives in the army was only a few hundred thousand silver.
Now, they were able to obtain so much money just by killing a damnable fatty that angered both men and gods?
They both felt that they weren't dreaming!
However, the two of them didn't accept the silver that Duan Lingtian passed over. "Young Master, we can't take this money."
"Stop being wishy-washy, quickly take it …. Tonight was only the beginning. In the future, follow this Young Master and I guarantee that you'll make a killing."
Ignoring their refusal, Duan Lingtian forcefully stuffed the silver into their hands as he spoke casually.
Tonight was only the beginning?
