Duan Lingtian nodded.
He knew that the reason Feng Ping asked him to stay in this small courtyard was undoubtedly because Feng Ping had the intention of monitoring him.
After all, his identity hadn't been confirmed yet.
"Right."
Suddenly, seeming to have thought of something, Feng Ping looked at Duan Lingtian and asked curiously. "What exactly is the conflict between you and Zhao Lei?"
Feng Ping's words caused Duan Lingtian to be unable to refrain from recalling the scene of Zhao Lei entering the city in his birthday suit, and the corners of his mouth curled into a slight smile.
Then, he explained the whole sequence of events one by one.
"This Zhao Lei has gone too far!"
Feng Ping frowned, then sighed. "Duan Lingtian, you've gone slightly too far … Although, with Zhao Lei's actions, even if you punish him like this, it wouldn't be going too far. But he's Elder Zhao Yu's only son after all, and your actions have undoubtedly caused Elder Zhao Yu to lose face. "
"No wonder I felt something was off with Elder Zhao Yu earlier … Looks like he already knows of this matter."
As he finished speaking, Feng Ping shook his head.
Duan Lingtian shrugged with an indifferent expression. "I won't do anything to others for no reason … But if they bully me, then I'm not a soft persimmon that can be kneaded as they please!"
As he finished speaking, a strand of cold light flashed within Duan Lingtian's eyes, and it was icy cold and bone piercing.
Feng Ping sighed.
He wasn't surprised that Duan Lingtian made such a stand.
If Duan Lingtian was a yes-man, perhaps he would feel that Duan Lingtian had let down his monstrous natural talent in the Martial Dao …
Martial artists, especially martial artists with monstrous natural talent like Duan Lingtian, ought to be unyielding!
"Why did the Sect Leader ask you to come to the Ancient City of Everlast?"
Feng Ping asked.
"The Sect Leader asked me to come out and gain experience."
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled as he spoke.
Feng Ping nodded. "Since it's like this, then stay here first. I'll send someone to the Seven Star Sword Sect to confirm your identity … Going back and forth will take almost two months of time. In these two months, you will follow me and gain experience. As long as it is something that you can solve, I will not interfere. "
Duan Lingtian nodded.
Very quickly, Francis Ping bid farewell to Duan Lingtian and left.
Duan Lingtian returned to his room alone.
Duan Lingtian had just closed the door when he felt his sleeve lighten, and a golden ray of light flew out.
It was precisely the little gold mouse.
"Creak, creak ~ ~"
The little gold mouse looked at Duan Lingtian and cried out twice.
At the same time, the little gold mouse's voice transmission entered into Duan Lingtian's ears with an immature voice that was like that of a little girl. "Big Brother Ling Tian, that Zhao Lei is truly detestable … And that Zhao Yu, he's obviously not a good person. I'll help you get rid of him, okay? "
As the little gold mouse spoke, its jade green eyes stared at Duan Lingtian.
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth twitched.
It could be seen from this that the 'education' he gave the little gold mouse earlier had completely ended in failure …
"Little Gold, that Zhao Yu isn't simple, he's a third level Void Prying Stage martial artist … The current you isn't a match for him."
Duan Lingtian spoke with a serious expression.
The little gold mouse relied on Half-step Advanced Lightning Force to kill second level Void Prying Stage demon beasts and martial artists that hadn't comprehended Force …
Even if an existence at the third level of the Void Prying Stage hadn't comprehended Force, it wasn't something the little gold mouse could kill now.
Moreover, since that Zhao Yu was a Seven Star Sword Sect elder with a cultivation at the third level of the Void Prying Stage, it was impossible for him to not have comprehended Force.
"Third level of the Void Prying Stage?"
The little gold mouse was slightly disappointed, and she sat down on the bed and drooped her little head.
"Alright, if you want to kill him, you'll be able to sooner or later … Little fellow, it's at most been seven years since you were born. Whereas Zhao Yu cultivated for a few tens of years before possessing that cultivation. "
Duan Lingtian couldn't help but be amused when he saw the little gold mouse's disappointed appearance, and he consoled her. "You possess the bloodline of a Jade-eyed Heavenly Mouse, so surpassing him is only a matter of time."
The little gold mouse nodded when she heard Duan Lingtian's encouragement, and her jade green eyes were brimming with spirit.
Just like this, Duan Lingtian temporarily stayed in the courtyard of the Ancient River Trading Company's branch.
Whereas now, outside the Ancient City of Everlast, two black figures flashed out one after the other after a period of time, and they were precisely two Nascent Soul Stage flying fierce beasts …
The direction they headed towards was precisely the location of the Seven Star Sword Sect.
There was a person sitting on each of them.
The clothes of these two people had the symbol of the Ancient River Trading Company, and they were obviously members of the Ancient River Trading Company.
In the next few days, Duan Lingtian had a certain level of understanding of the Ancient River Trading Company and the Ancient River Trading Company's branch in the Ancient City of Everlast.
The resources and reserves of the Ancient River Trading Company could only be ranked in the middle amongst the numerous trading companies in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom.
To a certain extent, the Ancient River Trading Company was attached to the Seven Star Sword Sect, and it handed over a large amount of gold and silver to the Seven Star Sword Sect every year …
Whereas the Seven Star Sword Sect had to provide the necessary protection for the Ancient River Trading Company.
The Seven Star Sword Sect members led by Feng Ping and Zhao Yu were instead responsible for guarding the Ancient River Trading Company's branch …
Of course, besides guarding the branch, they would occasionally participate in escorting the Ancient River Trading Company's merchant groups.
When the merchant groups traveled outside, they would be unable to avoid encountering the attacks of some bandits, and having the Seven Star Sword Sect's elders and disciples personally escorting them was undoubtedly slightly more secure.
At dawn, the light of dawn enveloped the ground, and everything came to life.
Duan Lingtian who sat cross-legged on the bed opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed within.
"There's still some distance before I reach the fifth level of the Nascent Soul Stage."
Duan Lingtian heaved a sigh of relief, then walked out of his room and stretched his limbs in the courtyard.
"Duan Lingtian!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded out from outside the courtyard.
"Elder Feng Ping."
Duan Lingtian was slightly surprised when he saw Feng Ping enter. "Is there something you need?"
After all, it had already been seven or eight days since he came to the Ancient River Trading Company's branch that day …
Today was the first time Elder Feng Ping had come looking for him.
Duan Lingtian's first thought was:
Could it be that I have to escort the merchant group?
The facts proved that he guessed correctly.
"Duan Lingtian, the Ancient River Trading Company's branch has a batch of goods to send out. Three days from now, I'll bring along the other three Seven Star Sword Sect disciples to escort the merchant group … At that time, you go as well. "
Feng Ping went straight to the point as he spoke to Duan Lingtian.
"Alright."
Duan Lingtian agreed, as he could finally go out and get some fresh air.
He knew that before his identity as a Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple was confirmed, Feng Ping would not allow him to vanish from his field of vision.
He didn't mind this.
He was originally a Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple, and there was utterly no need for him to feel guilty.
After Feng Ping left, Duan Lingtian didn't continue cultivating, and he lay down on the clean lawn of the small courtyard, then crossed his legs and looked up at the blue sky and white clouds in the horizon as he basked in the sun with satisfaction.
The gentle sunlight sprinkled down, causing Duan Lingtian's body to feel comfortably warm.
"Squeak squeak ~"
Meanwhile, the little gold mouse that was hidden within Duan Lingtian's sleeve crawled out as well, then it lay by Duan Lingtian's side and copied Duan Lingtian as it crossed its legs.
A pair of jade green eyes spun about, and they were quick-witted and crafty.
"Big Brother Ling Tian, I miss Big Sister Kerr."
The little gold mouse's voice transmission sounded out by Duan Lingtian's ears.
"Kerr didn't dote on you for nothing, little fellow …."
Duan Lingtian held the little gold mouse in his hand and lightly combed its fur. "But, since we've come out, then properly stay outside for a period of time. Once they confirm my identity, I'll bring you around the surroundings. "
"Okay, okay!"
The little gold mouse leaped for joy and was extremely excited when it heard Duan Lingtian.
Flowing lights revolved within its jade green eyes, and they were like two beautiful gems that flickered ….
At this moment, Kerr was completely tossed to the back of its mind.
"The precondition is that you have to listen to me … If there's an outsider present and I don't ask you to come out, then you absolutely can't come out, understand?"
Duan Lingtian changed the topic and started to discuss the conditions with the little gold mouse.
The little gold mouse was in high spirits, and she naturally agreed to Duan Lingtian's request in every way.
Three days later.
Duan Lingtian rode a tall horse and followed by Elder Feng Ping's side as they set out with the Ancient River Trading Company's merchant group and left the Ancient City of Everlast.
Besides him and Feng Ping, there were another three Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciples, including Zhao Lei, in the Seven Star Sword Sect.
These two inner court disciples were similar in age to Zhao Lei, and they were currently galloping their horses together with Zhao Lei.
At this moment, the gazes they shot at Duan Lingtian contained slight doubt mixed within.
"Zhao Lei, he's that inner court disciple that came from the sect?"
One of the inner court disciples asked Zhao Lei in a light voice.
"Hmph!"
Zhao Lei glanced coldly and indifferently at Duan Lingtian, then said indifferently, "I can't be sure now if he's a member of our Seven Star Sword Sect … Everything can only be revealed after we return from this trip."
"Zhao Lei, you stripped off your clothes and entered the city in your birthday suit under the threat of this young man?"
The other inner court disciple looked at Zhao Lei, and a spurious smile hung on his face.
This caused Zhao Lei to fly into a rage out of humiliation.
The incident from that day was already known by everyone now, and it seemed to have become a stain in his life.
When he thought up to here, Zhao Lei's face sank, and his icy cold and vicious gaze descended onto Duan Lingtian …
As far as he was concerned.
All of this was because of Duan Lingtian.
"Duan Lingtian, I, Zhao Lei, am absolutely irreconcilable with you!"
Zhao Lei hated Duan Lingtian to the limit in his heart.
Duan Lingtian naturally noticed Zhao Lei's gaze, yet he didn't care in the slightest, and completely disregarded it as he conversed with Feng Ping. "Elder Feng Ping, where's Elder Zhao Yu?"
"Elder Zhao Yu is in charge of guarding the Ancient River Trading Company's branch … This time, it's the five of us that are in charge of escorting the merchant group all the way."
Feng Ping said to Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian nodded, then asked. "Elder Zhao Lin, how long will it take for us to escort the merchant group to and fro this time?"
"Around two months."
Feng Ping pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.
Subsequently, seeming to have thought of something, Feng Ping continued to add. "Two months from now, the people that Elder Zhao Yu and I sent to the Seven Star Sword Sect ought to have returned … At that time, whether you're an inner court disciple of our Seven Star Sword Sect will be revealed."
Duan Lingtian nodded and didn't mind in the slightest.
As far as he was concerned.
