There were some things that Duan Lingtian couldn't control.
Take what Linghu Renjie had done for him for example. He didn't know that the three years he spent in the Linghu family's secret room had caused the Linghu family to suffer such a huge loss. Moreover, it was enough to affect Linghu Renjie's position as the head of the family.
If he knew, he definitely wouldn't have continued to stay in there.
Even if Linghu Renjie told him, he could understand and wouldn't drag Linghu Renjie down.
But the problem was:
From the beginning to the end, Linghu Renjie had never told him about his difficulties!
Such a favor, if it was a heartless person, might have felt that Linghu Renjie was thinking too much. However, Duan Lingtian couldn't do that.
He accepted this favor.
That was why he had made a hundred year promise with the Linghu family's Elder Guild.
"Within a hundred years, no matter the cost, I will definitely let him return to his position as the head of the family."
Duan Lingtian's gaze was unprecedentedly firm.
After a while, he finally regained his senses under Xue Haichuan's puzzled gaze. Xue Haichuan didn't know what he was thinking and why he was distracted.
However, Xue Haichuan didn't ask too much. Instead, he changed the topic back to the inner sect disciple test in front of him.
"Lil 'Tian, your opponents this time should be these people."
The way Xue Haichuan addressed Duan Lingtian had also changed as their relationship deepened.
Now, the people Xue Haichuan pointed at were the core disciple of the Thousand Demons Sect, Hua Tiandu, the young lord of the Donghua Clan, and the third young master of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Jianchen.
"This girl is not ordinary."
From the beginning to the end, very few people surprised Xue Haichuan. However, his gaze was attracted by a girl in the end.
Duan Lingtian looked over and recognized her immediately. "I heard that this girl is the seventh disciple of the leader of the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley. People call her 'Miss Seven'."
"Ten Thousand Flower Valley?"
Duan Lingtian had only said it casually. He never expected that after Xue Haichuan heard his words, his originally indifferent expression instantly fell into a daze.
It was as if he had recalled something.
"What? Brother Haichuan, are you on good terms with the Ten Thousand Flower Valley? "
Duan Lingtian saw some clues.
Xue Haichuan returned to his senses and shook his head with a sigh. "I used to have a friend from the Ten Thousand Flower Valley … but it's been a long time since we last met."
After he finished speaking, Xue Haichuan's gaze turned much gentler as he looked at the seventh young lady of the Ten Thousand Flower Valley. "Similar … too similar …"
Although Xue Haichuan deliberately lowered his voice, Duan Lingtian still heard it clearly.
It seemed that this Brother Haichuan had a deep relationship with the Ten Thousand Flower Valley.
Following this, Xue Haichuan's mood seemed to be rather downcast. Duan Lingtian did not speak either as he quietly observed the progress of the inner sect disciple assessment.
After several rounds of assessment, quite a few people were eliminated one after another.
From start to finish, Xue Haichuan's attention was completely focused on the Ten Thousand Flower Valley disciple named 'seventh young lady'. His intoxicated and somewhat infatuated gaze made Duan Lingtian wonder if this Brother Haichuan had some sort of relationship with this seventh young lady.
What was certain was that this was the first time Xue Haichuan had seen this seventh young lady.
The reason why he had this suspicion was because Xue Haichuan had already said 'similar, too similar' many times.
As time passed, the inner sect disciple assessment came to an end.
As for Hou Qingning and Murong Yinyue, under Dongfang Yannian's unintentional care, they successfully passed the assessment and became inner sect disciples of the Tianlong Clan.
"It's over."
When the inner sect disciple assessment came to an end, the mirror image disappeared. Only then did Xue Haichuan come back to his senses.
Duan Lingtian discovered that at this moment, a small tear appeared at the corner of Xue Haichuan's eyes. In the blink of an eye, it was evaporated by divine power.
If it wasn't for Duan Lingtian's sharp eyes, he wouldn't have noticed it.
This made Duan Lingtian even more certain that Xue Haichuan and this seventh young lady had some sort of relationship. Moreover, the other party was most likely a girl, and even looked very similar to seventh young lady!
"However, this seventh young lady is wearing a veil … when Brother Haichuan says they look alike, he should be referring to the shape of their bodies, as well as the exposed eyes, forehead, and nose."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
"Little Tian."
Xue Haichuan didn't know what Duan Lingtian was thinking. Seeing that the inner sect disciple assessment had come to an end, he looked towards Duan Lingtian and said with a smile: "I need to protect big brother, so I won't be going to the Hidden Dragon Competition with you."
"However, I will use the formation mirror image to observe from afar."
"Strive to obtain first place … Even the current me is moved by the reward for obtaining first place."
As he finished speaking, Xue Haichuan once again looked towards Duan Lingtian with a deeper gaze.
Hearing this, Duan Lingtian's eyes couldn't help but light up. He naturally knew that Xue Haichuan wasn't someone who spoke without thinking. Since he had said so, then the first place of the Hidden Dragon Competition would definitely have other extraordinary rewards besides the Emperor Ascension Elixir.
"I will do my best."
Duan Lingtian smiled modestly.
"There's one more thing …"
Suddenly, Xue Haichuan seemed to have thought of something. Looking towards Duan Lingtian, his expression became slightly serious, "If you encounter that seventh young lady from the Ten Thousand Flower Valley during the Hidden Dragon Competition … I hope you can show mercy if you have the upper hand and she is unwilling to admit defeat."
As his voice fell, he added, "If I'm not wrong … she should be the descendant of an old friend of mine."
The descendant of an old friend.
Xue Haichuan's words further verified Duan Lingtian's guess, and Duan Lingtian naturally agreed to Xue Haichuan's request.
To him, this was merely a matter of lifting his hand.
"Stay here and chat with me for a while. Later, Senior Brother Dongfang will come over. At that time, he will bring you new inner sect disciples to your temporary residence in the Firing Dragon Mountain Range."
Xue Haichuan's place of cultivation wasn't in the Firing Dragon Mountain Range, but in another mountain range adjacent to the Firing Dragon Mountain Range.
However, the two of them were very close to each other, and not far away was the intersection of the two mountain ranges.
After about an hour, Dongfang Yannian arrived.
Under Xue Haichuan's intentional promotion, the relationship between Duan Lingtian and Dongfang Yannian became much closer after chatting for a while.
Dongfang Yannian addressed Duan Lingtian as "Little Tian," and Duan Lingtian addressed him as "Big Brother Yannian."
Originally, Duan Lingtian had called him "Big Brother Dongfang," but Dongfang Yannian felt that this form of address was too distant, and insisted that he should address him as Xue Haichuan.
Duan Lingtian truly didn't expect that the White Dragon Elder of the Tianlong Clan, one of the best of the middle-level Godly Emperors, would have such a childish temperament.
However, after chatting for a while, Duan Lingtian felt very comfortable with Dongfang Yannian's forthrightness and casualness, and he further approved of this person.
After about a few hours, the sky gradually darkened, and Duan Lingtian finally left Xue Haichuan's place of cultivation with Dongfang Yannian, heading towards the temporary residence of the new inner sect disciples in the Firing Dragon Mountain Range.
The temporary residence of the new inner sect disciples was located within a valley, and there were a few buildings halfway up the mountain around the valley. The upper echelons of the various Godly Emperor level organizations, as well as some elders of the new inner sect disciples, were all temporarily living there.
The Hidden Dragon Competition would only begin in three days.
"Little Tian, then we'll meet again in three days."
Dongfang Yannian sent Duan Lingtian all the way to the air above the valley, then bid farewell to Duan Lingtian with a smile.
"Alright."
Duan Lingtian replied.
When Dongfang Yannian left, Duan Lingtian could sense that quite a few gazes were directed at him from below. They were surprisingly some of the new inner sect disciples, as well as some of the upper echelons of the Godly Emperor level organizations.
"Duan Lingtian."
Under Duan Lingtian's gaze, Hou Qingning stepped into the air, arriving by his side in the blink of an eye. "You knew that Elder Dongfang long ago? Why do I feel like you're very familiar with him? "
Hou Qingning's eyes were filled with curiosity.
"Brother Yannian is brother Haichuan's friend. Today, when you were going through the inner sect disciple entrance examination, I was with brother Haichuan."
Duan Lingtian said with a smile, "When you were going through the inner sect disciple entrance procedures, until just now, he was with brother Haichuan and me."
"So that's how it is."
Hou Qingning suddenly understood. In the past, when they were chatting, he also knew that Duan Lingtian and Xue Haichuan knew each other, and that Duan Lingtian and Xue Haichuan's relationship was quite good.
Hou Qingning quickly changed the topic, sighing, "Today's examination was truly dangerous. I almost didn't pass the last examination."
"However, fortunately, my luck was not bad in the end, and I successfully passed."
When Hou Qingning reached the end, there was even a hint of pride in his tone.
Seeing this, Duan Lingtian only smiled and congratulated him. He did not tell him that Xue Haichuan had asked Dongfang Yannian for help to reduce the difficulty of the examination for him and Murong Yinyue.
In Duan Lingtian's eyes, this was only a small matter. There was no need to mention it.
There was no need to haggle over this between friends.
… …
Just as Duan Lingtian and the other new inner sect disciples were settling down in the Firing Dragon Mountain Range, the inner sect elder Kuang Tianzheng who was also in the Tianlong Temple learned of Duan Lingtian's actions in the selection today.
"That little bastard actually broke through and became a mid Godking?"
Kuang Tianzheng's expression was as ugly as it could be. If it were not for the fact that his second disciple was right in front of him, he would have already smashed the stone table in front of him.
At this moment, Kuang Tianzheng was sitting in front of a stone table in a large courtyard. Opposite the stone table sat a young man in a jade-green robe.
The young man was tall and muscular. His appearance was cold and handsome, and his eyebrows were sharp and sharp. He gave off a feeling of sharpness and decisiveness.
He was Kuang Tianzheng's second disciple, Zhong Can.
He was also the son-in-law of the Tianlong Clan's vice-head Xue.
"Back then, if the one who died wasn't Han 'er, but him … If Han' er had obtained that fortune, the one who would be dazzling right now would be Han 'er, not him!"
In Kuang Tianzheng's eyes, there was a mixture of anger and hatred, making him look extremely vicious.
"Can 'er, you shouldn't have forgotten … Han' er, in the past, treated you like his own brother, right?"
Kuang Tianzheng's gaze softened slightly. He looked straight at Zhong Can and asked in a suppressed voice.
