City Governor's Estate, Audience Hall.
Duan Lingtian walked into the Audience Hall and saw the City Governor, Feng Wu Dao, who sat at the head seat at the center with a glance.
Feng Tianwu had once again put on her veil and stood by Feng Wu Dao's side. Although her appearance was concealed by the veil, her beautiful figure was clearly visible, and it caused one's heart to palpitate.
Besides Feng Wu Dao and his daughter, there were another four people in the Audience Hall.
Two middle aged men with extraordinary bearings in luxurious clothes, a young man with a severed arm, and a young woman.
"Squeak squeak ~"
When Duan Ling Tian recognized the one-armed young man and the woman, the little gold mouse that stood on his shoulder looked at the one-armed young man as well, and she bared her fangs and brandished her claws, and her jade green eyes were filled with provocation.
This young man with a severed arm was precisely the person that failed to forcefully buy Little Gold in the restaurant that day and made a move against him, and in the end had his arm crippled by Little Gold.
He seemed to be called Chang Hui.
"City Governor."
Duan Lingtian looked at Feng Wu Dao and lightly nodded as he greeted.
Feng Wu Dao nodded, then looked at the two middle aged men and said slowly, "These two are the Patriarchs of our Phoenix Nest City's Chang Clan and Qian Clan … They've come to look for you this time."
Duan Lingtian's brows raised as he looked at the Patriarchs of the Chang Clan and Qian Clan.
Their cultivations were extraordinary, and they were both existences at the Void Prying Stage.
"Patriarchs have come to denounce me for my crimes?"
Duan Lingtian looked at the two of them and smiled lightly.
"We don't dare!"
The Chang Clan's Patriarch hurriedly shook his head, then raised his hand to withdraw a Luminous Pearl that was the size of an adult's fist and passed it to Duan Lingtian as he said humbly, "Young Master, my son was rude a few days ago, and I hope you can be magnanimous and not fuss about it with my son."
Duan Lingtian's gaze descended onto the Luminous Pearl in the Chang Clan's Patriarch's hand, and he was slightly surprised.
If such a large Luminous Pearl were to be auctioned off, it would at least be able to be auctioned off for a few tens of millions of gold.
To a certain extent, a Luminous Pearl like this could be considered to be a rare treasure.
"Master Chang is too polite. It's just a small matter. I've already forgotten about it."
Although he said this, the speed of Duan Ling Tian's hand wasn't slow in the slightest as he nimbly received the Luminous Pearl from the Chang Clan's Patriarch and weighed it in his hand. "Then I'll thank Patriarch Chang for his generous gift."
"It's good that Young Master likes her."
The head of the Chang family squeezed out a smile, but his heart was bleeding.
This Lunar Pearl was something he'd obtained at the auction in the Darkstone Empire's Imperial City all those years ago for 30,000,000 gold …
Now, he had given it away just like that.
However, he also knew that he had to give it away …
The person in front of him was the City Lord's son-in-law!
As the current generation Patriarch of the Chang Clan that had been passed down in this city for a few hundred years, he'd personally witnessed the rise of the City Governor, Feng Wu Dao.
Feng Wu Dao had just arrived in their city a few years ago.
As soon as he arrived, he defeated the City Lord of this city and entered the City Lord's Mansion, becoming the new master of this city. He even changed the name of this city to 'Phoenix Nest City'.
No one knew how strong this City Governor's strength was.
He only knew that after the former City Governor that was defeated by Feng Wu Dao was expelled from Phoenix Nest City, he was unwilling in his heart and found a formidable Void Initiation Stage martial artist to deal with Feng Wu Dao.
The final outcome.
The former City Governor and the Void Initiation Stage expert he found were dead!
From that moment onwards, no one in Phoenix Nest City dared question Feng Wu Dao's strength.
"Young Master, this is our Qian Clan's compensation."
The Qian Clan's Patriarch withdrew a necklace formed from a string of seven colored gems and passed it to Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian was able to discern that the seven different colored gems strung on this necklace were all pure natural gems of extraordinary value.
In terms of value, the seven gems combined wasn't inferior to the Night Luminescent Pearl the Chang Clan's Patriarch gave.
"Thank you, Patriarch Qian."
Duan Lingtian received it without the slightest trace of politeness and accepted the compensation and apology of the Patriarchs of the Chang and Qian Clans.
"Don't worry Patriarchs, I was only playing around with Brother Chang and Young Miss Qian that day … It's only a small matter, I won't take it to heart."
Duan Lingtian said to the two Patriarchs of the Chang and Qian Clans.
This caused the corners of the latter's mouth to twitch.
Chang Hui's expression was extremely unsightly.
Playing around?
Just for fun, he crippled one of his arms?
Of course, he didn't dare say it out loud.
He knew that since the young man before him was already the son-in-law of their Phoenix Nest City's City Governor, even if the Chang and Qian Clans exhausted all their strength, they would still be unable to do anything to the young man.
The City Governor alone was sufficient to sweep through their Chang and Qian Clans.
So, he could only grit his teeth and swallow all this pain!
The four members of the Chang and Qian Clans heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Duan Lingtian didn't have the intention to pursue the matter.
After bidding farewell to the City Governor, Feng Wu Dao, the four of them left directly.
"Duan Lingtian!"
Suddenly, Feng Wu Dao shouted out in shock, causing Duan Lingtian's mind to greatly shake, and he turned around to look at Feng Wu Dao with a bitter smile on his face.
He knew that what should come would always come.
"City Governor."
Duan Lingtian looked at Feng Wu Dao and was neither servile nor overbearing.
"You're really unwilling to marry my daughter?"
As Feng Wu Dao spoke, a terrifying aura swept out and enveloped Duan Lingtian.
And right when Duan Lingtian's face went pale and was about to mobilize his Origin Energy to resist.
Whoosh!
A burst of fragrance assaulted his nose, and a beautiful figure was a step ahead and blocked in front of him, blocking Feng Wu Dao's aura.
"Pu!"
Her graceful and delicate figure trembled as she forcefully spat out a mouthful of blood, and her body was on the verge of collapse.
"Wu!"
Feng Wu Dao's face went pale, and he hurriedly withdrew his aura. As if transforming into a gust of wind, he instantly arrived before Feng Tianwu and fed her a medicinal pill.
Feng Tianwu's face was ghastly pale and only recovered slightly after a long time. She'd only just recovered when she said to Feng Wu Dao, "Father, don't make things difficult for Elder Brother Duan."
"Tian Wu!"
Duan Lingtian's heart trembled when he saw Feng Tianwu being injured because of him.
Duan Lingtian took a deep breath and looked at Feng Wu Dao. "City Governor, Grandma Xu has already told me about everything related to Tian Wu … I have a certain level of understanding of the Fire Spirit Body. But, I don't possess the Water Spirit Body or the Ice Spirit Body, and I'm afraid it's difficult for me to help Tian Wu. "
"Elder Brother Duan, you … You know everything?"
Feng Tianwu's beautiful face recovered some color with great difficulty, and she couldn't help but look over when she heard Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian nodded and sighed. "Tian Wu, you should have told me earlier. If I really had a way to help you, I wouldn't stand by idly. "
When Feng Tian Wu heard Duan Ling Tian, her beautiful face was unknowingly tainted with a wisp of crimson red.
"Kid, what you mean is that you're willing to take Tian Wu as your wife?"
Feng Wu Dao looked at Duan Lingtian with a gaze that burned like torches.
"City Governor, I feel that what you're thinking in your heart isn't to marry Tian Wu off, but to help her get rid of the calamity of the Fire Spirit Body, right?"
Duan Lingtian didn't answer Feng Wu Dao and replied with a question instead.
"Exactly."
Feng Wu Dao nodded, then said, "But … According to the divination of my grandmother, the one and only Priest in the Darkhan Dynasty that was capable of seeing through the secrets of the heavens, only the union of Tian Wu and the man in her destiny would be able to get rid of the calamity she'll face at the age of 30."
"City Governor, I know this, Tian Wu told me before … But, according to my understanding of innate spirit bodies, the Fire Spirit Body possesses the Fire Spirit Body. Tian Wu possesses the Fire Spirit Body, and there are only two ways to avoid the calamity at the age of 30. "
Duan Lingtian said slowly, "The first is to find the possessor of the Water Spirit Body or Ice Spirit Body and unite with Tian Wu. The second is to allow Tian Wu to step into the Void Transformation Stage before the age of 30, and use the strength of a Void Transformation Stage expert to suppress the Fire Spirit Energy that erupts at the age of 30! "
Duan Lingtian spoke in a methodical manner, and it caused Feng Wu Dao to be unable to refrain from frowning.
After a short while, Feng Wu Dao's brows eased up. "What you said makes sense. But, innate spirit bodies are extremely rare existences … In the history of the Darkhan Dynasty, the appearance of the last possessor of an innate spirit body can be traced back to 1,000 years ago. "
"How could it be easy to find the possessor of the Water Spirit Body or Ice Spirit Body? Moreover, how do you know you don't possess the Water Spirit Body or Ice Spirit Body? According to my knowledge, many possessors of innate spirit bodies only awakened when they were close to the age of 30. "
As Feng Wu Dao spoke up to here, he looked at Duan Lingtian. "Perhaps, you're one of these concealed innate spirit bodies."
Duan Lingtian froze, then laughed bitterly. "Possessors of innate spirit bodies are extremely rare, how could there be such a coincidence …?"
"Coincidence?"
Feng Wu Dao said indifferently, "Then I want to ask you, for the sake of Wu 'er's destiny, I came to Phoenix Nest City in advance and prepared for a few years … Why did you just happen to appear at this moment? Moreover, since you're from the south, you've also come for the sake of the Soul Transformation Fruit my grandmother left behind as Wu 'er's dowry. "
"Don't you think all of this is too coincidental?"
Feng Wu Dao replied with a question.
Duan Lingtian was speechless.
This was indeed a coincidence, a coincidence that was bizarre.
Duan Lingtian sighed. "Alright, I'll take it that I'm the possessor of the Water Spirit Body or Ice Spirit Body that hasn't awakened … But, City Governor, don't you think it's too rash to make me marry Tian Wu so abruptly? You don't know anything about my character, background, or family background. Aren't you afraid that Tian Wu will suffer if she follows me? "
"You dare?!"
Feng Wu Dao abruptly shouted out explosively, and a shapeless wave of air swept out in all directions, causing the tables and chairs in the hall to shake as if an earthquake had occurred.
Duan Lingtian secretly broke out in cold sweat.
Being strong meant being awesome.
Just a casual shout was enough to shake the earth and shake the mountains.
"Father, don't scare Elder Brother Duan."
Feng Tianwu's beautiful brows knit together as she spoke with a slightly unhappy tone.
Feng Wu Dao restrained the aura on his body and sighed. "They all say that girls side with their husbands, and it's really like this … You haven't even married him, yet you're already protecting him."
"Father, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Feng Tianwu's beautiful face flushed red as if blood would drip out from it. At the same time, she snuck a glance at Duan Lingtian, and when she noticed that Duan Lingtian was looking at her as well, she lowered her head in embarrassment.
Duan Lingtian was astounded.
It could be said that he and Feng Tianwu had gotten to know each other through a fight.
But now, he was able to discern that Feng Tianwu seemed to have feelings for him.
What's going on?
He was unable to wrap his head around it.
"Could it be that my charm is really so great?"
