The Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple that sat on the Ferghana Horse extended his hand to receive the letter that Duan Lingtian passed over.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
…
He didn't even open the letter before directly tearing it into pieces.
Whoosh!
With a casual wave of his hand, the pieces fluttered in the wind and scattered within the desert, and not a single complete piece could be found.
"Kid!"
The Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple looked down at Duan Lingtian who had a gloomy expression and ridiculed. "You're smart, you even know how to prepare a forged letter to deceive everyone … The Sect Leader's letter? I, Zhao Lei, am a Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple, and I don't have the qualifications to make the Sect Leader write a letter for me. You, a little kid that's a little over 20, would have the Sect Leader's personal letter? "
"Who would believe you?!"
As he finished speaking, Zhao Lei glared coldly at Duan Lingtian, and the corners of his mouth curled into a complacent ridicule.
He had an appearance as if he'd seen through Duan Lingtian's trick since long ago.
Duan Lingtian took a deep breath and suppressed the restless flames of rage in his heart, then he said in a low voice. "Zhao Lei, right? I don't mind that you don't believe I'm an inner court disciple because I'm young, and I'll take it as a misunderstanding … But now, you actually didn't even look at the letter that I took out to prove my identity and tore it apart when the Sect Leader asked me to give it to Elder Zhao Yu and Elder Feng Ping? "
"You're so sure that it wasn't written by the Sect Leader himself?"
As Duan Lingtian finished speaking, traces of an icy cold sheen jumped about within his eyes.
He didn't mind that Zhao Lei didn't believe him at the beginning.
Even though his reputation in the Seven Star Sword Sect could be considered to have spread far and wide, and he'd seized the supreme glory of first place in the Martial Competition of the five great sects not long ago …
However, the Ancient City of Everlast was located in a remote area after all, and it wasn't surprising that the Seven Star Sword Sect disciples that guarded the Ancient City of Everlast's Ancient River Trading Company had never heard of him.
But now, when he passed the Sect Leader's personal letter to Zhao Lei to discern its authenticity, Zhao Lei actually didn't even look at it before directly tearing it apart?
"Laughable!"
The ridicule on Zhao Lei's face grew even denser when he heard Duan Lingtian. "Kid, you're really stubborn! If I were you and my disguise was seen through, I would have run as far away as I could … A letter? What can a forged letter prove?! "
"Even if I take out a letter that says the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom's Emperor wants to take me as his foster son and even wants to make me the next Emperor's successor … Would you believe it?"
As he finished speaking, the mocking smile on Zhao Lei's face had almost reached the point of no return.
The onlookers burst into laughter.
Duan Lingtian's expression darkened as he coldly swept a glance at Zhao Lei before turning around and heading towards the Ancient City of Everlasting Desolation.
Since this Zhao Lei didn't believe his identity, then he would head to the Ancient River Trading Company's branch in the Ancient City of Everlast right now.
Look for Elder Zhao Yu and Elder Feng Ping ….
At that time, the truth would be revealed!
"Halt!"
At this moment, Zhao Lei's voice came from behind, causing Duan Lingtian's expression to darken again. He turned around and looked at Zhao Lei. "Is there anything else?"
Now, Duan Lingtian was slightly disinterested when facing Zhao Lei, and he couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him.
"You pretended to be a Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple and want to leave just like this?"
Zhao Lei sat on the Ferghana Horse and looked down at Duan Lingtian with an icy cold gaze as he spoke coldly.
"Then what do you want?"
Duan Lingtian sneered.
He wasn't willing to fuss about it with Zhao Lei earlier, but now, did Zhao Lei really think he was a soft persimmon that could be kneaded at will?
"Take off your fake Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple attire, then take off your inner clothes … Enter the city in your birthday suit."
The corners of Zhao Lei's mouth curled into an evil smile.
Zhao Lei's words caused the number of spectators to increase greatly.
"This young man is really unfortunate. Not to mention he pretended to be a Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple, he was actually caught by a real Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple."
"Yeah, he's really unfortunate. If I was him, I'd make a fake Seven Star Sword Sect outer court disciple attire. This way, I wouldn't be suspected at all. "
"Perhaps, this young man feels that the identity of a Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple is able to satisfy his vanity."
"His hair hasn't even grown fully and he wants to pretend to be a Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple. He's simply courting death!"
...
The surrounding crowd of spectators shot their gazes onto Duan Lingtian, as if they'd already seen the scene of Duan Lingtian entering the city in his birthday suit.
The eyes of some women even shone brightly.
It was as if they were impatient to see the appearance of this handsome young man, Duan Lingtian, entering the city in his birthday suit.
Some young women were instead embarrassed to the point their cheeks flushed red.
"Enter the city in my birthday suit?"
At the beginning, Duan Lingtian thought he'd heard wrongly when he heard what Zhao Lei said.
After a short moment, Duan Lingtian returned to his senses and noticed the strange gazes of the surrounding crowd of spectators …
Only now did he realize that this Zhao Lei had indeed asked him to take off his clothes and enter the city in his birthday suit.
Instantly, Duan Lingtian's gaze went slightly cold as he looked at Zhao Lei and said in a low voice, "Zhao Lei, you're still unable to confirm the authenticity of my identity, yet you're using such a death sentence on me. Isn't it going a bit too far?"
"Going too far?"
Zhao Lei sneered. "Kid, don't try to be mysterious in front of me! I can see through what a little tramp like you is thinking with a glance. Today, if you don't take off your clothes and enter the city in your birthday suit, then I'll break your legs and let you properly remember this! "
Not only entering the city in my birthday suit, he wants to break my legs?
Instantly, Duan Lingtian's face seemed to be enveloped in a layer of thin ice, and it was cold to the extreme.
"Zhao Lei, you don't have the qualifications to decide if my identity is real or fake! I want to see Elder Zhao Yu and Elder Feng Ping, and let the two elders personally determine if my Seven Star Sword Sect disciple is real or fake! If you don't believe me, you can go with me. "
Duan Lingtian's voice seemed as if it came from an ice cave, and it contained frightening coldness mixed within, but he still finished speaking with extreme patience.
Now, he endured it because Zhao Lei was a Seven Star Sword Sect disciple.
Whereas he gave face to the Sect Leader, Linghu Jin Hong.
Otherwise, with his temper, he'd have killed Zhao Lei long ago for humiliating him without end like this.
Duan Lingtian's words caused the surrounding crowd to be in an uproar.
"This young man spoke neither obsequiously nor haughtily, and seems to not be fake … Could it be that he's really a Seven Star Sword Sect disciple? But, even if he's a Seven Star Sword Sect disciple, it's impossible for him to be an inner court disciple, right? "
"I've never heard of such a young inner court disciple in the Seven Star Sword Sect."
"I think he's deliberately mystifying …"
"Deliberately mystifying? I don't think so … He already said he wants to enter the city to look for a Seven Star Sword Sect elder to determine his identity. Could it be that he still has the confidence to escape under the nose of a Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple? "
"Who knows?"
…
The mocking smile on Zhao Lei's face grew wider when he heard Duan Lingtian. "Look for the two elders? There's no need for that! "
"There's no need for that?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes emitted piercingly cold lights, and he couldn't restrain himself any longer as he said in a low voice, "Zhao Lei, are you determined to make things difficult for me today?"
"Make things difficult for you?"
Zhao Lei was first stunned, then he couldn't refrain from laughing loudly. After laughing for a while, he once again looked down upon Duan Lingtian with a face full of disdain. "Kid, it's not that I'm looking down on you … But what qualifications does a young kid like you have to make me make things difficult for you!?"
"If you're sensible, then quickly take off your clothes and enter the city in your birthday suit … Otherwise, you won't be able to keep your legs!"
At the same time that Zhao Lei shouted coldly at Duan Lingtian, he continued to look down upon Duan Lingtian.
Just like how Duan Lingtian was only an ant in his eyes, an ant that he could casually trample to death!
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
Presently, the icy coldness on Duan Lingtian's face gradually dispersed, and it was replaced by calmness.
Perhaps, in his eyes, a person like Zhao Lei wasn't worthy of him getting angry.
Zhao Lei wasn't worthy!
"What I do isn't up to a young kid like you to tell me what to do!"
When Zhao Lei saw the furious expression on Duan Lingtian's face vanish, he thought that Duan Lingtian was afraid, and he sneered. "Kid, I'll give you the time of ten breaths … After ten breaths of time, if you still have a single piece of cloth on your body, then I'll break your legs and make you crawl into the city!"
"You have two choices, you better think clearly before you decide."
As Zhao Lei finished speaking, his face was filled with ruthlessness.
Duan Lingtian looked calmly at Zhao Lei and stood on the spot without moving like a mountain, and his expression wouldn't change even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.
It was as if the matter before his eyes wasn't related to him in the slightest.
"There's still seven breaths of time."
Zhao Lei's cold and indifferent voice sounded out.
When he saw Duan Lingtian still remaining unmoved, he only thought that Duan Lingtian was dumbstruck by him …
Besides a portion of the surrounding crowd taking pleasure in Duan Lingtian's misfortune, there was also a portion of the surrounding crowd that looked at Duan Lingtian with pity.
Some kind-hearted people even persuaded Duan Lingtian. "Little Brother, a wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him … Losing face is better than losing your legs!"
"Yeah, Little Brother, endure it for a while and it'll be over."
"Little Brother, you shouldn't wear a fake Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple's attire and swagger through the streets. This is a great taboo of the Seven Star Sword Sect!"
…
When he heard these words of persuasion, Duan Lingtian didn't move in the slightest, and he still looked calmly at Zhao Lei.
His calm gaze didn't contain any emotions.
"Big Brother Ling Tian, he's going too far! He actually asked you to take off your clothes and enter the city in your birthday suit … So long as you say the word, I'll kill him right now! "
The little gold mouse's voice transmission sounded out by Duan Lingtian's ears.
This caused Duan Lingtian to be speechless, and he replied via voice transmission. "Little Gold, don't fight and kill for no reason. Sometimes, killing isn't necessary to solve a problem."
As he spoke, he guided the little gold mouse patiently and systematically.
If Duan Lingtian's words were heard by the other mercenaries in the mercenary group he was in in his previous life, they would probably be shocked to the point of being unable to speak for a long time …
After all, the King of Mercenaries in his previous life, Ling Tian, always had a single method to solve a problem.
That was …
Carnage and slaughter!
"There's still three breaths of time left."
Zhao Lei spoke out once more, and strands of Origin Energy seemed to be on the verge of gushing out from his body.
Duan Lingtian paid no attention to this and remained unmoved.
