Duan Lingtian was naturally unaware of the undercurrent outside.
Deep into the night, Duan Lingtian lay on the lawn in the backyard, hugging Kerr on his left and Li Fei on his right. He crossed his legs and looked up at the sky, his gaze slightly blurred.
A bright moon hung high in the sky, and the numerous stars set off the night sky.
"Scoundrel, why didn't you go out tonight?"
Li Fei asked curiously.
She remembered that no matter if it was last night or the night before, Duan Lingtian would always bring the two people the Divine Might Marquis sent out to him.
Tonight, however, he was out of the ordinary and actually had time to accompany her and Kerr to watch the stars here.
She had heard a little about the matter of the Su Clan's direct descendant being killed, and subconsciously felt that it was very likely to be related to this man.
"You little girl, do you really want me to go out that much?"
Duan Lingtian's right hand slightly exerted force and pulled Li Fei into his embrace. His palm lightly landed on the little girl's sexy butt, and conveniently pinched it twice …
Instantly, Li Fei's sensitive body trembled, and her cheeks flushed crimson, as if blood would drip out.
"Young Master, you're bullying Big Sister Feifei again."
Kerr's silver bell-like voice sounded out, causing Duan Lingtian to feel relaxed and happy.
How he hoped that this moment could become eternal.
Hugging the two little girls until the end of time, until the seas dried up and the rocks crumbled …
But unfortunately, he understood that this was only an extravagant hope, and there were still many things waiting for him to do.
What he needed to do now was to carve out a place that belonged to him in this world where the strong were respected …
Only by standing at the peak of this world would he have the ability to bring the two little girls to every corner of this world and see all the clouds in the world.
That was the true life, the true carefree life!
At that time, no one would be able to threaten him, and everyone could only look up to him …
"Kerr, do you think this is unfair to your Big Sister Feifei? Don't worry, I won't favor one over the other. "
As Duan Lingtian spoke, he smirked and raised his hand to give Kerr's butt a slap and gently pinched it …
"Young Master, you're so bad."
Kerr was so shy that she threw herself into Duan Lingtian's embrace. After a long while, she raised her head in embarrassment.
"Alright, give me your Spatial Rings, I'll help you inscribe an Inscription tonight."
Duan Lingtian stopped teasing the two girls and said seriously.
"Young Master, what kind of Inscription are you going to inscribe on us?"
Kerr's eyes flickered. After taking off the Sumeru Ring, her watery eyes were filled with curiosity.
Li Fei also looked at Duan Lingtian. This man was so mysterious. After interacting with him for so long, she was already used to it. However, she still wanted him to inscribe some kind of 'inscription' on them.
"Bone Eroding Inscription!"
Duan Lingtian received the Spatial Rings from the two girls and lightly smiled.
Subsequently, he introduced the use of the Bone Eroding Inscription to the two girls …
For a moment, the two girls were scared to the point their faces went pale.
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled. He wasn't surprised by the reaction of the two girls.
Duan Lingtian stood up and took the two Spatial Rings before returning to his room. He withdrew a pile of materials from his Spatial Ring and started inscribing …
Inscribing two Bone Eroding Inscriptions in one night caused Duan Lingtian's Spiritual Force to be extremely exhausted.
After he finished inscribing, he returned the Spatial Rings to Li Fei and Kerr one by one. In the end, he couldn't hold on any longer and directly fell onto Kerr's bed, snoring loudly.
Kerr lay beside Duan Lingtian. Her eyes stared fixedly at Duan Lingtian's handsome face, and a wisp of a happy smile appeared on her beautiful face.
It was precisely because of this man that her life underwent such a tremendous change …
She would live her entire life for this man, and she would have no regrets until her death!
Early the next morning, when Duan Lingtian woke up, he only felt groggy. He sized up the surroundings and noticed that he wasn't in his room, and he recalled what happened last night. "Right, I fell asleep in Kerr's room last night."
He stood up and noticed the young girl sitting cross-legged at the side cultivating.
Duan Lingtian hugged the young girl from behind, and the young girl's delicate body trembled as she was startled awake from her cultivation. "Young Master, you're awake."
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded and greedily inhaled a breath of air. The natural fragrance on the young girl's body was always so pleasant to smell …
After getting dressed under the help of Kerr, Duan Lingtian and Kerr went out to eat breakfast together, and only then did they walk out of the house and head towards Paladin Academy.
A regular day passed just like that.
When he walked out of Paladin Academy's gate in the evening, it was as peaceful as yesterday. Besides Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang, he didn't notice a third person spying on him in secret.
Duan Lingtian didn't dare be careless.
He was clear in his heart.
The calmer it was, the more likely it was that a storm was coming.
"Young Master, the Marquis invites you over."
Suddenly, Zhang Qian appeared and walked out, respectfully speaking to Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian's brows raised, but he wasn't surprised. Now that the Su Clan was facing a great enemy, it was practically a household name within the Imperial City, and the Divine Might Marquis Estate naturally wouldn't be unable to receive the news.
His Uncle Nie remembered that he asked for the information of the various properties and people in charge of the Su Clan, and would surely suspect him.
"You two didn't betray me, right?"
Duan Lingtian looked at Zhang Qian with a burning gaze, seeming as if he would sweep him and Zhao Gang out of the house if Zhang Qian agreed.
"No."
Zhang Qian hurriedly shook his head. The matter of the Su Clan was not only related to Duan Lingtian, it was also related to his own life, so he naturally didn't dare speak carelessly.
"That's good."
Duan Lingtian nodded in satisfaction.
Zhang Qian once again concealed himself in the shadows, whereas Duan Lingtian went to the Divine Might Marquis Estate.
At the gate of the Divine Might Marquis Estate, Duan Lingtian noticed that one of the soldiers guarding the gate was actually a familiar face …
It was precisely the 'young soldier' that was slapped by an old soldier the last time he came here.
"Stop!"
Just at this moment, another soldier stood out and blocked Duan Lingtian's path.
Slap!
Under Duan Lingtian's astonished gaze, the 'young soldier' that was slapped by the old soldier the last time slapped this soldier that was blocking his path …
Under the furious gaze of the soldier that was slapped, the young soldier looked respectfully at Duan Lingtian. "Young Master Ling Tian, please come in."
Duan Lingtian nodded and glanced deeply at the young soldier.
This fellow, that slap from before wouldn't have been intentional, right?
As expected, the furious expression on the face of the soldier that was slapped instantly vanished, and he looked at the young soldier with a perturbed expression as he asked. "Brother Zhi, who is he?"
"He's Young Master Ling Tian, the nephew of the Marquis … Kid, look carefully in the future, don't act like a 'hothead.'"
The young soldier spoke with the tone of an old man.
As he spoke, he extended his hand to rub the back of his head with a lingering fear …
I've been through this as well.
Divine Might Marquis Estate, within the audience hall.
"Uncle Nie, is there something you need from me?"
When Duan Lingtian entered, he noticed that the Divine Might Marquis Nie Yuan was already waiting for him, and he couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"Little Tian, tell Uncle Nie the truth. Was it you who led Zhang Qian and the others to kill the Su Clan's Su Lie and Su Yong?"
At the same time that Nie Yuan asked, his eyes stared at Duan Lingtian, as if he wanted to discern something from Duan Lingtian's face.
But unfortunately, he was unable to discern anything.
"Uncle Nie, if you don't have evidence, then don't speak nonsense."
Duan Lingtian said in all seriousness.
"You kid … Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang not saying a single word was also your order, right? No wonder when you asked me for them the last time, you said you wanted to have complete control over them. You've already planned this at that time, right? "
Although Duan Lingtian wasn't willing to admit it, Nie Yuan knew that he guessed correctly, and he spoke angrily.
"Uncle Nie, all of this is only your guess."
Duan Lingtian's expression didn't change, then he said, "Uncle Nie, if there's nothing else, then I'll be leaving first …"
"Wait!"
Nie Yuan stopped Duan Lingtian, then shook his head and smiled. "I didn't call you here just to ask about that. Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang didn't mention a single word, so I guessed that even if you came, you wouldn't be honest … I called you here this time because I want to tell you about the war at the northwest border."
As he finished speaking, Nie Yuan's expression became serious.
Northwest border?
Duan Lingtian couldn't help but recall that his teacher in the Star Mastermind Department, Sima Chang Feng, had mentioned this to him. "Uncle Nie, why are you telling me this?"
"I naturally have a reason for telling you this. The war at the northwest border is critical this time, and his Majesty has given me full authority to be in charge of the mobilization of reinforcements … A portion of these reinforcements will be mobilized from your Paladin Academy. Especially the students of your Star Mastermind Department, if any of you put what you've learned into practice, then on the battlefield, you alone will be able to hold up against an entire army! "
Nie Yuan glanced deeply at Duan Lingtian. "When I was discussing this with your Paladin Academy's Vice Dean Zhan … He strongly recommended you to me. Of course, he doesn't know of our relationship. "
"Recommended me?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned, but with a quick thought, he came to an understanding. It should be Teacher Sima who recommended him to the Vice Dean.
"Right, recommended you. How about it, are you interested in going to experience it? At that time, this reinforcements will be led by your Big Brother Nie. "
Nie Yuan looked at Duan Lingtian with an extremely complicated gaze.
At the beginning, when Paladin Academy's Vice Dean Zhan recommended Duan Lingtian, he was still skeptical.
Later on, Vice Dean Zhan mentioned to him the plan of 'crossing the sea by deception' that Duan Lingtian thought of, and it caused him to be extremely shocked!
He never imagined that this nephew of his, whose natural talent in the Martial Dao and alchemy could be said to be heaven-defying, would also have such a terrifying talent in strategy …
"Of course I'm interested."
Duan Lingtian hurriedly nodded. "Uncle Nie, when will the reinforcements head to the northwest border?"
"One month later … If you want to go, then properly prepare during this period of time."
Nie Yuan said again.
"Okay."
Duan Lingtian nodded, then bid farewell and left.
On the way home, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but be slightly excited in his heart. The battlefield in this life was completely different from the one in his previous life.
He'd participated in some of the battlefields in his previous life, but those were practically all clashes of hot weapons, and were far from the 'hot-blooded' clashes of cold weapons on the battlefield in this life!
In Duan Lingtian's heart, there had always been a dream.
He hoped that one day, he would be able to gallop and kill his enemies on the battlefield that was similar to the ancient times of his previous life, fighting until the last moment and spilling all his hot blood!
