"How about it? Have you considered it?"
Duan Ru Hong looked at Duan Lingtian and asked with an expression of anticipation.
If it was in the past, he would never have imagined that there would be a day when he would speak humbly before this nephew of his. However, Duan Lingtian had the qualifications now.
After all, not everyone was able to possess a cultivation at the Origin Core Stage at the age of 18.
Although he felt that the clan using Duan Lingtian like this wasn't appropriate.
But with a quick thought, if a Void Prying Stage expert was able to appear in the Duan Clan because of this, then he would undoubtedly be able to witness the moment the Duan Clan walked towards glory.
As a Duan Clan disciple, he looked forward to the appearance of that moment.
"You can really agree to any condition of mine?"
Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes and stared fixedly at Duan Ru Hong as he asked to confirm once again.
"So long as it's within the Duan Clan's ability, we can agree to anything."
Duan Ru Hong's expression turned serious as he spoke.
"Even if I want you to die?"
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth held a smile as he suddenly asked.
Duan Ru Hong was stunned, but he still nodded in all seriousness. "If I die, then I can exchange it for your return to the Duan Clan. The clan doesn't have to make a move, I'll end myself!"
Duan Lingtian glanced deeply at Duan Ru Hong.
As the saying goes, a person's eyes are the window to their heart. A person's mouth can deceive others, but their eyes can't deceive others.
Now, Duan Lingtian couldn't see a trace of hypocrisy in Duan Ru Hong's eyes.
This also showed that what he said was from the bottom of his heart!
Duan Lingtian couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The people of this world have really been thoroughly brainwashed ….
"I'm just joking …. Although I don't really approve of you, it hasn't reached the point of wanting your life."
Duan Lingtian smiled indifferently. There was no deep enmity between him and Duan Ru Hong.
Duan Ru Hong heaved a sigh of relief. He really thought that Duan Lingtian wanted his life. However, if Duan Lingtian really wanted his life, then for the sake of the Duan Clan's future, he would absolutely not live for a moment longer.
"Then do you agree now?"
Duan Ru Hong asked again. When he saw Duan Lingtian's attitude, he suddenly felt that there was hope.
"As long as the Duan Clan can keep their promise, so what if I return to the Duan Clan to acknowledge my ancestors? In this way, one of my mother's wishes has been fulfilled. "
Duan Lingtian's eyes narrowed as he mumbled to himself.
The Duan Clan was undoubtedly a clan that placed benefits above everything else. Because he had value, they would give up everything for him.
As far as Duan Lingtian was concerned, since it was like this, why not make good use of the Duan Clan?
Presently, no matter which aspect he was in, he was still in the initial stage. If he really had the assistance of the Duan Clan, then many problems would be easily solved.
Moreover, this way, he could curry favor with his mother.
Why wouldn't he do it?
As for the Void Advancement Pill that the Duan Clan wanted, that was a matter for the future …
There was no need to think about it now.
Duan Ruhong had a delighted expression when he heard Duan Lingtian. "Then when do you and your mother intend to arrive at the Duan Clan? I can ask the patriarch to prepare a large courtyard for you. It will definitely be more comfortable than living outside. "
"There's no need. We're living very well outside. Even if I really return to the Duan Clan to acknowledge my ancestors and admit that I'm a member of the Duan Clan, I still won't return to the Duan Clan Estate … I'll tell you this first. "
Duan Lingtian shook his head, and as he finished speaking, his expression became slightly serious.
Duan Ruhong lightly smiled. "This is naturally not a problem."
Not all the direct descendant disciples of the Duan Clan lived in the Duan Clan Estate, and many of them had their own residences outside.
Just like him, he had a residence outside as well.
"As for when my mother and I will return to the Duan Clan … The day after tomorrow. It just so happens that I don't have to go to class for the next two days. "
Duan Lingtian pondered for a moment before giving Duan Ruhong an answer.
"Alright, I'll send someone to pick you up at that time."
Duan Ruhong's face revealed a smile.
"There's no need, we'll go over ourselves. At that time, don't let anyone refuse us outside the door."
Duan Lingtian refused Duan Ruhong's good intentions, then stood up and directly got out of the carriage.
"This impetuous character is no different from Third Brother all those years ago … Looks like that matter from over two years ago has always caused him to take it to heart, and he's still so hostile towards me even now. However, since he agreed to return to acknowledge his ancestors, I can be considered to have smoothly completed my mission this time. "
Duan Ruhong muttered to himself as he shook his head and smiled.
After Duan Lingtian returned home, he told his mother, Li Rou, about returning to the Duan Clan to acknowledge his ancestors.
"Tian, why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Although Li Rou was slightly surprised and pleasantly surprised, she still had doubts in her heart.
She knew her son's character very well, and once he decided on something, he wouldn't easily change his mind.
"I've thought about it recently and figured it out … The blood of the Duan Clan's direct descendant flows in my body after all, and it's impossible for me to not return to the Duan Clan for my entire lifetime."
Duan Lingtian spoke nonsense, so he naturally wouldn't speak of the truth of the matter.
Otherwise, his mother would surely think too much again.
"Mother knows that the matter is surely not so simple … However, since you're willing to return to acknowledge your ancestors, it can be considered to have resolved one of Mother's worries. If you're unwilling to speak of other matters, then Mother won't force you."
Li Rou glanced deeply at Duan Lingtian, as if she could see through his heart.
Duan Lingtian laughed embarrassedly, and only now did he remember that his mother wasn't so easy to fool.
The next day, Duan Lingtian, who didn't have to go to Paladin Academy, obediently stayed at home and accompanied the two little girls at home for an entire day …
On the third day, early in the morning, Duan Lingtian asked Xiong Quan to prepare a carriage, and he headed towards the Duan Clan Estate with his mother, Li Rou.
Duan Lingtian didn't bring along the two little girls at home. To him, going to the Duan Clan to acknowledge his ancestors today was only a formality, and he would return very quickly.
The Duan Clan Estate occupied a vast area, as if it was a city within a city.
On the way.
"Mother, you seem to be slightly nervous."
Duan Lingtian looked at Li Rou and smiled.
"You child, you actually dare to make fun of Mother … Mother is only slightly moved. You're already so old now, in other words, I've already left the Duan Clan for many years."
Li Rou's gaze was misty, as if she'd returned to the happy days before her husband went missing.
In next to no time, the carriage under Xiong Quan's control stopped before the entrance of the Duan Clan Estate.
"It's quite a show of extravagance."
Duan Lingtian could vaguely see through the carriage window that a red carpet was laid out before the entrance of the Duan Clan Estate, and both sides of the red carpet were filled with servants and maids …
"This …."
Li Rou was slightly dumbstruck when she saw this scene. She suddenly realized that her son's decision to return to the Duan Clan to acknowledge his ancestors was probably not so simple.
"Young Master, Madam, we've arrived."
Xiong Quan's respectful voice sounded out.
Duan Lingtian was the first to get off the carriage, then he respectfully helped his mother down before supporting his mother to walk up the red carpet outside the Duan Clan Estate.
"Greetings Young Master Ling Tian, greetings Madam."
Meanwhile, the servants and maids on both sides of the red carpet respectfully bowed to the mother and son pair.
"Hmm?"
Duan Lingtian raised his head and was able to see that the group of people that were originally standing at the entrance of the Duan Clan had come over to greet them.
These people were led by a dignified middle aged man and a dignified old man, and his fourth uncle, Duan Ru Hong, followed behind them.
Duan Lingtian supported his mother to greet them.
"Patriarch, Big Brother."
Li Rou looked at the dignified old man in the lead and bowed respectfully, then she looked at the dignified middle aged man and lightly smiled as she greeted.
"Ru Feng's wife, I'm no longer the Duan Clan's Patriarch. Ru Huo is the Patriarch … As for me, I'm now the Duan Clan's Grand Elder."
The dignified old man lightly smiled, and his tone was extremely courteous to Li Rou as well.
"He's the previous Patriarch of the Duan Clan, Duan Zhen?"
Duan Lingtian looked at the dignified old man and thought in his heart as he guessed the old man's identity.
Li Rou shook her head and smiled. "I've left for almost 20 years. I never imagined that the Patriarch had already retired to the second line, and Big Brother has already become the Patriarch."
"Tian, why aren't you greeting them?"
Li Rou's beautiful brows frowned as she spoke to Duan Lingtian who was by her side.
"Greetings, Patriarch, Grand Elder."
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled to Duan Ru Huo and Duan Zhen.
"As expected of Ru Feng's son, he looks extremely similar to Ru Feng from all those years ago … Good, very good."
Duan Zhen looked at Duan Lingtian as if he was looking at a treasure, and his eyes emitted light.
"Yeah, in the blink of an eye, the baby from all those years ago has already grown so big."
Duan Ru Huo nodded as well and lightly smiled to Duan Lingtian.
Subsequently, the group of Duan Clan elders came up to greet Duan Lingtian and his mother ….
These Duan Clan elders now faced Duan Lingtian and his mother with smiling faces, and they didn't dare slight them in the slightest.
Duan Lingtian sneered in his heart when he saw this scene.
Truly snobbish!
That year, his mother, a woman, took him, who was in his infancy, and left the Duan Clan. No one stopped them, and they allowed the widow and her to wander outside.
Now that they knew that he might be able to obtain a Void Advancement Pill for the Duan Clan, all of them were like flies that stuck to him.
Duan Lingtian only felt a wave of disgust in his heart.
Before long, under the direction of Patriarch Duan Ru Huo, Duan Lingtian completed the acknowledgement of his ancestors within the Duan Clan's ancestral hall and returned to the Duan Clan once again.
"Little Tian, feel free to tell Uncle if you need anything in the future."
After everything was completed, Duan Ru Huo said to Duan Lingtian.
"Thank you, Patriarch."
Duan Lingtian hurriedly nodded.
"Also, you don't have to worry about the matter of the Su Clan. The clan will help you deal with it."
Duan Ru Huo then said to Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian's gaze slightly flickered. This Patriarch was a smart person. He knew that his mother was present, so he didn't mention the conflict between him and the Su Clan in detail.
However, even so, Li Rou was still suspicious.
"Tian, what happened between you and the Su Clan?"
On the carriage, Li Rou curiously asked.
"Mom, it's nothing. A Su Clan direct descendant provoked me in the academy and was injured by me."
Duan Lingtian casually said.
Li Rou nodded, as this wasn't a big deal.
