"Duan Lingtian."
When Li An saw Duan Lingtian, he was slightly embarrassed.
With Duan Lingtian's current identity and status, even if he had some little thoughts, he didn't dare to play any tricks in front of Duan Lingtian.
The slightest carelessness might cause him to fall into a bottomless abyss.
Duan Lingtian nodded indifferently. He didn't have any friendship with Li An, and instead had some conflicts. However, he couldn't be bothered to fuss about it and directly went home.
Li An couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he saw Duan Lingtian leave. He was really worried that Duan Lingtian would look for him to settle old scores, but now it seemed that he was too petty.
When Duan Lingtian returned home, he noticed a fat figure sitting there chatting with his mother.
"Li Xuan?"
Duan Lingtian walked into the courtyard and spoke with slight hesitation.
Li Xuan should be about the same age now.
"Haha! Boss. "
The fatty turned around. Compared to the past, the immaturity on his chubby face had vanished without a trace. However, his small eyes were still so wretched.
"Li Xuan, you've grown up."
Duan Lingtian looked at the fatty and couldn't help but laugh.
Subsequently, he replaced his mother, Li Rou, and started chatting with the fatty …
"Boss, you're so awesome now. When I say you're my boss in the Li Clan, no one dares to offend me."
Li Xuan said arrogantly, and his chubby face was filled with complacency.
Duan Lingtian shook his head. "You little fatty, when did you learn how to intimidate others?"
"Boss, you've fought for such a great reputation outside. If I don't make good use of it, wouldn't it be a waste of your efforts?"
Li Xuan said in all seriousness.
"Can you be any more shameless?"
Duan Lingtian rolled his eyes at Li Xuan. As expected, this damned fatty was still as wretched as before. It made Duan Lingtian feel as if he'd returned to the days when he was in the Li family in Fresh Breeze Town.
He still remembered.
At that time, the son of the second elder was played by Li Xuan to the point that he ran away whenever he saw Duan Lingtian …
"Boss, tell me about what happened in the Imperial City."
Li Xuan was clearly very interested in the Duan Lingtian's experience in the Imperial City.
Along with Duan Ling Tian's narration, his small eyes flickered with bright lights. "Boss, why don't you take me to the Imperial City this time … At that time, with you protecting me, wouldn't I be able to do whatever I want?"
At this point, Li Xuan's face was filled with yearning.
Duan Lingtian shook his head. "I'm afraid I can't let you do as you wish. Once I'm done here, I won't be able to stay in the Imperial City for long."
Noticing Li Xuan's bewildered expression, Duan Lingtian continued. "I'm going to the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom."
Hearing this, Li Xuan's chubby face fell. "Then I can only continue to stay in Aurora City."
In the following days, Duan Lingtian stayed in the Li Clan and waited for news …
Finally, a month later, Lin Qi brought back good news.
"Duan Lingtian, I've found it."
When Lin Qi arrived, he was gasping for breath. Obviously, he had rushed over as soon as he obtained the news.
"You've found it?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes shone.
"Duan Lingtian, according to the information obtained by the Violet Tulip Trading Company, a year ago, a Grade Eight Weapons Craftsman in the County City had a life and death bet with another person. In the end, the Grade Eight Spirit Weapon that the former refined was of a higher quality than the opponent, and the opponent lost his life because of this!"
Lin Qi finished speaking in a single breath. "At that time, this matter gave rise to much discussion in the County City, and my aunt knew as well. This time, when she found out that you were investigating this matter, she immediately sent someone to ride a Ferghana Horse to Aurora City to notify me."
"Do you know the origins of that weapons craftsman?"
Duan Lingtian's face sank and a trace of cold light flashed within his eyes as he asked.
"It seems to be someone from the County City's Chu family."
Lin Qi continued.
Chu family?
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed as he smiled gratefully at Lin Qi. "Lin Qi, thank you."
"Don't mention it, we're all friends."
Lin Qi shook his head and then said, "Duan Lingtian, my aunt said that if you need any help, you can go look for her when you arrive at the County City."
"Don't worry, if I really need it, I won't be courteous."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
After Lin Qi left, Li Fei came out of the room and was slightly excited. "Scoundrel, there's news?"
"Yes, there's news. But I'm not sure if it's Grandfather, so I'm preparing to make a trip to the County City to confirm it myself. "
Duan Lingtian nodded, and as he finished speaking, his gaze went slightly cold. "If it's really Grandfather, then that Grade Eight Weapons Craftsman from the Chu family is dead for sure!"
"I'll go with you."
Li Fei said.
Duan Lingtian didn't refuse, because he knew that he couldn't refuse, nor did he have a reason to refuse.
The person who was most concerned about this matter was undoubtedly Li Fei.
"Yes, I'll tell Kerr and Mother that we'll bring Xiong Quan along and set out immediately."
Duan Lingtian went to inform Kerr and Li Rou, then he left with Li Fei and Xiong Quan.
The three Ferghana Horses transformed into a gust of wind as they left Aurora City.
With the Ferghana Horses as their mounts, Duan Lingtian's group of three spent seven days to arrive at the Swallow Mountain County's County City.
The County City was larger than Aurora City, but was inferior to the Imperial City.
After entering the County City, there was an endless stream of carriages and horses …
Duan Ling Tian found an inn, and the three of them stayed there for the time being. After that, they found a restaurant nearby to have a meal.
Li Fei didn't wear a veil, and everywhere she passed, she attracted many burning gazes.
However, although these people were envious, they didn't dare act rashly. They were able to discern that the violet-clothed young man walking with this young woman had an extraordinary bearing and was obviously not an ordinary person.
Also, the middle-aged man following behind them was obviously not simple.
"Customer, what would you like to eat?"
Before long, an attendant arrived before Duan Lingtian's table and asked respectfully.
Slap!
Duan Lingtian raised his hand and took out a silver ingot. "I want to ask you about some things. If you agree, then this is yours."
The attendant's eyes shone when he heard this.
He could get so much silver just by moving his mouth?
Just this silver ingot was equivalent to one month of his salary.
"Customer, if you have anything you want to ask, feel free to ask."
The attendant gave a flattering smile.
"I'm not interested to know anything else, I just want to ask you …. One year ago, did the Chu family have an eighth-grade weapons craftsman that had a conflict with an eighth-grade weapons craftsman from outside the family? Even to the extent that they competed in weapons refinement and conducted a life and death bet! "
Duan Lingtian looked at the attendant as he asked.
"Customer, I was wondering what you wanted to ask, so it turned out that you wanted to ask about this …. I know this."
The attendant instantly started laughing when he heard Duan Lingtian's question. "The eighth-grade weapons craftsman from the Chu family you spoke of is the Chu family's Second Elder …. Now that I speak of it, this Chu family's Second Elder is a renowned eighth-grade weapons craftsman in our Swallow Mountain County's County City, and he's even able to refine a grade eight spirit weapon with a 19% amplification!"
"19% amplification …. That's a top-grade grade eight spirit weapon! Supposedly, many years ago, he once had a life and death bet with another grade eight weapons craftsman in weapons refinement. At that time, he was only able to refine a grade eight spirit weapon with an 18% amplification, but he still won against his opponent. "
"Supposedly, that grade eight weapons craftsman that overestimated his ability one year ago was the disciple of that grade eight weapons craftsman from many years ago …. This master and disciple pair fell to the same person, and they can be considered to be unlucky."
As he finished speaking, the attendant couldn't help but sigh.
When Li Fei heard what the attendant said, her beautiful eyes turned slightly red ….
Now, she could practically confirm that the grade eight weapons craftsman that had a life and death bet with the Chu family's Second Elder was her grandfather, Li De.
"Do you know what the grade eight weapons craftsman that had a life and death bet with the Chu family's Second Elder a year ago was like?"
Duan Lingtian looked at the attendant as he further confirmed.
"Customer, it's a coincidence. At that time, I just happened to be resting, and a friend of mine who's a servant of the Chu family brought me in to witness the life and death bet with my own two eyes …. That grade eight weapons craftsman was an old man around the age of 70, and above the old man's left eyebrow was a crescent-shaped scar."
The attendant spoke slowly, word by word. "Unfortunately, even though he was able to refine a grade eight spirit weapon with an 18% amplification, he still lost."
"Grandfather!"
Li Fei's heart trembled, and she raised her head as if wanting to stop the tears that were about to flow out.
"This silver is yours, give us a few of your signature dishes."
Duan Lingtian took a deep breath. Now, he could completely confirm that the old man was Li De.
"Alright!"
The attendant received the silver and left in high spirits. As far as he was concerned, exchanging a few words for a silver ingot was a huge gain.
"Scoundrel."
Li Fei's eyes were filled with tears, and she was slightly agitated.
"Little Fei, we've been on the road for an entire day …. When the food is served, eat your fill. After you're full, we'll go to the Zhu Family Estate and make that Chu family's Second Elder pay with his life! Doesn't he like to bet his life with weapons? Then I'll accompany him to play. "
As Duan Lingtian finished speaking, his eyes went cold.
"Okay."
Li Fei lightly nodded, seeming to be obedient and cute.
"Young Master, it's only a County City's clan. Just say the word and I'll go annihilate it right now."
Xiong Quan's eyes squinted as he spoke in a cold and indifferent voice.
"Xiong Quan, if you just let some people die, it would be letting them off too easily."
Duan Lingtian shook his head.
Right at this moment, two figures walked into the restaurant. The person in the lead was a young man around the age of 20, and behind him followed an old man.
The young man's face was slightly pale, and his footsteps were light. It was obvious that he had overindulged himself.
"Hmm?"
In next to no time, the young man's gaze descended onto the table where Duan Lingtian was at, and onto Li Fei.
"So beautiful!"
The young man's breathing became hurried, and he walked over in a few steps. When he looked at Li Fei, his eyes revealed a burning gaze. "Young Miss, how should I address you?"
From the beginning until the end, he completely disregarded Duan Lingtian and Xiong Quan at the side.
"F * * k off!"
Li Fei was already in a bad mood, and now that she was annoyed by such a detestable fellow, her face sank as she coldly shouted.
"Oh! You're quite fierce …. This Young Master likes it. "
The young man didn't get angry, and instead became even more interested. "Young Miss, how about we be friends?"
"I told you to f * * k off, didn't you hear me?"
Duan Lingtian's face sank, and from the beginning until the end, he didn't even glance at the young man.
