Even after returning home, a trace of an excited smile still hung on Duan Lingtian's face.
"Young Master, what made you so happy?"
Kerr blinked her beautiful eyes that were filled with curiosity as she asked.
Li Fei looked over as well. She could clearly feel Duan Lingtian's high spirits at this moment …
"Nothing, it's just that I intend to go to the battlefield to take a look one month from now."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled as he spoke casually.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, Kerr and Li Fei's beautiful faces both changed.
Battlefield?
In their impression, the battlefield was a very dangerous place.
If they went, they might not be able to come back!
"Young Master, can you not go?"
Kerr was delicate and pitiful as tears welled up in her eyes. She didn't want Duan Lingtian to take the risk …
"Scoundrel, if you want to go, then I want to go as well."
Li Fei had a stubborn expression, as if she wouldn't let Duan Lingtian go if Duan Lingtian didn't bring her along.
Duan Lingtian felt a headache coming on.
"What are you two thinking? I'm only going to be a reinforcement. Moreover, I'm not the type of soldier that goes to the battlefield … I'm the type of Prime Minister that stays in the tent and gives advice to the officers and soldiers that go to the battlefield, understand? Moreover, this is the rule of Paladin Academy. If you don't go to the battlefield, then you can't graduate. "
As Duan Lingtian finished speaking, his face became slightly hot.
If he went to the battlefield, would he obediently stay in the tent?
The answer was no.
"It's the rule of Paladin Academy?"
Li Fei's expression eased up slightly. She knew that Duan Lingtian chose the Star Mastermind Department in Paladin Academy, and she also knew the difference between the Star Mastermind Department and the Star General Department.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian replied with a thick face.
Finally, Duan Lingtian spent some effort to appease the two girls …
If he had a choice, he would rather look for a Nascent Soul Realm martial artist and fight!
Of course, he would use the Bone Corrosion Inscription to kill his opponent!
Subsequently, Duan Lingtian went to look for his mother, Li Rou, to ask for a Spatial Ring, and helped Li Rou inscribe a Bone Corrosion Inscription before calming down and cultivating.
His goal was to break through to the seventh level of the Core Formation Stage within a month!
The next day, as soon as Duan Lingtian entered the classroom, he heard a group of students in the class fiercely discussing …
They were talking about the reinforcements that would arrive in a month's time.
"Duan Lingtian, I heard that 300 plus people from our Paladin Academy will join the 'reinforcements' and head to the northwest battlefield …."
Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun moved closer to Duan Lingtian.
"I've heard."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"Supposedly, 300 of these 300 plus people are from the Star General Department, and there are probably no more than 10 students from our Star Mastermind Department."
Xiao Yu's tone was obviously slightly disappointed.
"That's not strange."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled. "The Star Mastermind Department students aren't born for the battlefield; they mostly serve the internal affairs of the Crimson Sky Kingdom …. Just like those civil officials in the Imperial Court and the County Governors of the 18 counties, they are basically all from Paladin Academy's Star Mastermind Department, and some of the officials under them are also from the Star Mastermind Department."
Xiao Xun had a bitter smile. "I wish for nothing more than to switch places with Tian Hu …. Although the Star General Department's grade 1 students don't have a quota for reinforcements this time, in another two years, we'll at least have the chance to enter the battlefield. In the Star Mastermind Department, we might not even have the chance to see the battlefield until we graduate. "
"The battlefield is cruel, and the environment is extremely vile. It's not like the luxurious life you have in the Xiao Clan …. If you were to go, you might not get used to it."
Duan Lingtian shook his head. He was clear about Xiao Xun's mentality; it was nothing more than curiosity.
"It's always good to experience it."
Xiao Xun continued.
Xiao Yu nodded and deeply agreed.
"If the two of you really want to go, I can go get two quotas for the two of you."
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled when he saw their expectant gazes.
"You?"
Xiao Xun and Xiao Yu looked at Duan Lingtian with doubtful expressions. Xiao Xun said, "Duan Lingtian, you have Teacher Sima's strong recommendation, so you might be able to obtain a quota …. But you're bragging a bit too much when you say you'll get two quotas for us. Unless you know the general leading the troops this time, or the Divine Might Marquis. "
"What? You two don't believe me?"
Duan Lingtian smiled.
It was really as Xiao Xun said. Not only did he know the general leading the troops this time, he also knew the Divine Might Marquis.
To him, obtaining two quotas was only a matter of saying a word.
Xiao Yu's eyes focused as he said in surprise, "Duan Lingtian, you really have a way to help us get a quota?"
"You've known me for so long, have I ever lied to you?"
Duan Lingtian was slightly speechless, as even Xiao Yu doubted him. "The two of you, prepare well these days …. One month from now, we'll depart together."
Although Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun didn't know why Duan Lingtian was so confident, they realized that Duan Lingtian wasn't joking, and their gazes both lit up.
"Right, don't mention this during lunch. I'm worried that Tian Hu will go with me. It's fine if the two of you go together, as you're both students of the Star Mastermind Department and don't need to personally enter the battlefield. But Tian Hu is different. "
Duan Lingtian said with a serious expression.
Once the current Tian Hu entered the battlefield, it would absolutely be a narrow escape.
As a friend, he didn't want Tian Hu to take risks.
"Don't worry, we know what to do …. That kid Tian Hu, even if you don't help him obtain a quota, he'll still have plenty of chances to enter the battlefield in a year or two."
Xiao Xun smiled.
Soon, Sima Changfeng arrived.
An entire morning of classes quickly passed ….
When it was close to noon, Sima Changfeng called Duan Lingtian out. "Duan Lingtian, the order for reinforcements to the northwest border battlefield has been issued. I've already recommended you to the Vice Dean. The Star Mastermind Department's name list will be out in half a month, and we'll depart in a month. Prepare well."
Duan Lingtian lightly nodded with a carefree expression.
Seeing Duan Lingtian's calm expression, Sima Changfeng was secretly shocked.
This kid was indeed a talent that could be nurtured. He was about to enter the battlefield, yet he was still so calm.
But it was unknown what kind of expression Sima Changfeng would have if he knew that Duan Lingtian had already received the news beforehand ….
At noon, when they were eating in the cafeteria.
Tian Hu's eyebrows fluttered, and his face was filled with excitement. "I heard that the Star General Department's name list for reinforcements to the northwest border battlefield has been released, and many of them are only second year Star General Department students …. Looks like I'll have a chance next year as well."
"As long as you work hard and cultivate, you'll naturally have a chance."
Duan Lingtian smiled.
"Sigh, Duan Lingtian, you guys don't have to be envious of me …. Really. Although more than 90% of your Star Mastermind Department students have no chance of entering the battlefield after graduation, there's still a glimmer of hope. Moreover, even if you can't enter the battlefield, it's fine. Fighting and killing isn't suitable for you guys. "
Tian Hu seemed to be comforting Duan Lingtian and the other two, but his tone clearly contained a bit of complacency.
"Yes, you're right."
Duan Lingtian earnestly nodded as he resisted the urge to laugh.
"Hahahaha …."
Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun couldn't help but laugh loudly.
"What are you guys laughing at?"
Tian Hu had a stunned expression.
"Nothing."
Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun shook their heads. No matter how Tian Hu asked, they wouldn't say anything.
They believed that Tian Hu would know the truth one month from now.
After finishing their meal, they once again cultivated for an entire afternoon on a large tree at the side of the Martial Arts Practice Grounds. Only then did Duan Lingtian leave Paladin Academy with Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun.
After parting ways, Duan Lingtian directly returned home.
Inner city, in a remote corner.
Not far away, a middle-aged man slowly walked to the front of a remote building.
If one looked carefully, one would notice that his legs were slightly trembling ….
"Motherfucker, I won't do this kind of work anymore …. Although it's fine to just move my mouth, that fellow behind the counter is too terrifying. Just a few words and he almost scared me to the point of peeing my pants."
As he muttered to himself, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and finally walked in.
In the spacious hall, there was only one person standing behind the counter.
"I … I'm here to confirm the mission. That Duan Lingtian …."
The middle-aged man took a deep breath and didn't dare look directly at the young man behind the counter as he spoke in panic.
"We won't accept this mission."
The young man behind the counter frowned when he saw the middle-aged man's terrified appearance and said indifferently.
"What? Won't accept? "
The middle-aged man was stunned. He never would have thought that it would be such an outcome. For a moment, he seemed to have forgotten his fear as he said in shock, "Isn't this the Ghastly Shadow organization? Isn't your Ghastly Shadow the most famous assassin organization in the Crimson Sky Kingdom? You can't even deal with a youth? "
Slap!
The young man's gaze was cold as it swept past the middle-aged man like a blade. He raised his hand and a stack of silver landed on the counter. "This is your deposit, return it!"
"You all …."
The middle-aged man didn't know where his courage came from, but he seemed to want to say something.
"F * * k off!"
The young man's eyes slightly narrowed as an icy killing intent swept out from his body.
But in the blink of an eye, the middle-aged man was enveloped by the killing intent as well. His body trembled as he was scared to the point of peeing his pants ….
"I asked you to f * * k off, didn't you hear?"
The young man's voice was slightly impatient.
"I …. I can't move."
The middle-aged man laughed bitterly.
"Hmm? You actually dare dirty our Ghastly Shadow's stronghold? "
The young man smelled the stench of urine, and his face went ghastly pale. He stretched out his hand and took back the silver on the counter. "Take this 200,000 as the cleaning fee …. If the person behind you has any objections, you can ask him to come look for me personally."
"Now, I'll give you the time of three breaths to disappear before me. Otherwise, leave your life here!"
The young man's voice became even colder.
The middle-aged man's face went ghastly pale. His legs trembled, and his entire body seemed to have transformed into a gust of wind as he rushed out of the Ghastly Shadow's stronghold in an extremely sorry state.
"200,000 …. 200,000 is gone just like that …."
After the middle-aged man left, he finally reacted to what had happened. The 200,000 silver seemed to have been confiscated!
A gust of wind blew past, and the middle-aged man only felt his crotch go cold, but his heart was even colder ….
200,000 was gone just like that!
How would he explain himself when he returned?
