When he saw the reverence that the group of Feng Clan guards revealed, Duan Lingtian knew that he hadn't found the wrong place.
This place was precisely the Feng Clan that Feng Wu Dao spoke of that day.
"But, how could these members of the Feng Clan not know Tian Wu?"
This caused Duan Lingtian to be extremely puzzled.
Right at this moment, the Feng Clan guard in the lead was the first to recover from his shock, and he took a deep breath before looking at Duan Lingtian. "Young Master, you … You know the Eldest Master?"
"Eldest Master?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned, and then he reacted to what had happened. This Feng Clan guard was precisely speaking of Feng Wu Dao.
"Yes, I know him. I came here precisely for the sake of looking for him. "
Duan Lingtian nodded.
When he saw Duan Lingtian agree, the Feng Clan guard looked at Duan Lingtian once more, and there was slight reverence in his eyes. "I've offended you earlier, please forgive me, Young Master."
Duan Lingtian smiled lightly. "It's fine. I wonder if you can help me notify him? "
"Young Master, please follow me."
The Feng Clan guard didn't go in to notify him, and he directly called out to Duan Lingtian instead, then he led the way in front and led Duan Lingtian into the Feng Clan Estate.
As for the other Feng Clan guards, they stood at the sides and looked respectfully at Duan Lingtian's figure that was disappearing into the distance.
"The Eldest Master hasn't appeared before others for many years … I never imagined that such a young man would actually know the Eldest Master."
"Yeah, the Eldest Master is an unreachable legend in our Feng Clan … According to rumor, if it wasn't for the Eldest Master having no interest in the position of Patriarch of our Feng Clan, the current Patriarch of our Feng Clan would surely be the Eldest Master."
"I've heard of this as well."
"Supposedly, the Eldest Master's strength has already attained the acme of perfection, and it's even not inferior to our Feng Clan's two ancestors."
…
All the Feng Clan guards whispered in discussion.
All of their words were filled with reverence towards Feng Wu Dao.
Feng Wu Dao, the Eldest Master of the Feng Clan, and the Big Brother of the current Feng Clan Patriarch …
His status in the Feng Clan wasn't inferior to the Patriarch in the slightest, and he directly chased after the two great ancestors.
Duan Lingtian had learned all of this from the Feng family's general as he followed behind him.
"Never would I have expected that City Master Feng from back then to have such a background."
Duan Lingtian was secretly shocked.
At the same time, Duan Lingtian curiously asked the Feng Clan guard that led the way ahead. "Big Brother, I see that your Feng Clan Estate is extremely grand, and it isn't much inferior to the Imperial Palace … Your Feng Clan's status in the Darkhan Dynasty ought to not be low, right?"
Duan Lingtian's words were actually just a test.
As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking.
The Feng Clan general revealed a proud expression, and at the same time, he looked at Duan Lingtian and asked. "Young Master, you're probably not a member of our Darkhan Dynasty, right?"
"How do you know?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned.
"If Young Master is a member of the Darkhan Dynasty, then it's impossible for him to not understand our Feng Clan …."
The Feng Clan guard lightly smiled.
Duan Lingtian's brows raised.
In his heart, he faintly realized that the Feng Clan was probably an existence with an extraordinary status in the Darkhan Dynasty.
Meanwhile, the Feng Clan guard looked respectfully at Duan Lingtian and asked. "I wonder how I should address you, Young Master?"
"Duan Lingtian."
Duan Lingtian spoke frankly.
"So it's Young Master Ling Tian … If I'm not wrong, Young Master Ling Tian's appearance in the Darkhan Dynasty is most probably for the sake of the Dynasty Martial Competition, right?"
As the Feng Clan guard finished speaking, he glanced deeply at Duan Lingtian.
"Exactly."
Duan Lingtian didn't conceal it, and then he asked with slight surprise. "How did you see through it? Logically speaking, it's truly difficult for others to connect me with the Dynasty Martial Competition with my age. "
Indeed.
The Dynasty Martial Competition gathered the most outstanding young geniuses of the Darkhan Dynasty and the young geniuses that stood out from the various Empires.
Normally speaking, these young geniuses were practically all existences around the age of 35.
It was extremely difficult for people to connect a young man around the age of 25 like Duan Lingtian with the Dynasty Martial Competition.
"Young Master Ling Tian, I'm actually guessing as well … Since you know the Eldest Master, then you naturally can't look at him with an ordinary gaze."
The Feng Clan guard smiled as a matter of course.
As he spoke, he revealed extreme blind adoration towards the Eldest Master of the Feng Clan, Feng Wu Dao.
This works as well?
Duan Lingtian was slightly speechless.
At the same time, Duan Lingtian deeply realized Feng Wu Dao's status in the Feng Clan …
He wasn't the Patriarch, yet surpassed the Patriarch!
"With the status of City Governor Feng in the Feng Clan … Logically speaking, as his daughter, Tian Wu ought to be familiar to the members of the Feng Clan. But why do they just happen to not know Tian Wu? "
Duan Lingtian was extremely puzzled about this.
But he didn't directly ask this Feng Clan guard.
"I'll wait until I see City Governor Feng or Tian Wu."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
The Feng Clan Estate was extremely vast, and it wasn't the slightest bit inferior to the Darkstone Empire's Imperial Palace.
There were numerous servants and maidservants bustling about on the way.
On the other hand, Duan Lingtian followed behind the Feng Clan guard and headed all the way towards the east of the Feng Clan Estate …
In the end, they stood before an exceedingly vast estate.
This estate was a estate within an estate, and it stood within the Feng Clan Estate with its door tightly shut, as if it was completely isolated from everything outside.
"Young Master Ling Tian, this is the estate that the Eldest Master resides in."
The Feng Clan guard looked at Duan Lingtian and spoke respectfully.
Subsequently, he took two steps forward and knocked on the door of the estate.
After a short moment, the door of the estate was slowly opened.
An aged figure appeared behind the door.
This was an old woman. The old woman had an aged appearance and wore green clothes, and she looked like a rotten old woman …
But if one looked carefully, one would notice that there seemed to be two strands of bright lights leaping about in the depths of the old woman's eyes.
This old woman wasn't simple.
"Senior Xu."
The Feng Clan guard bowed respectfully when facing the old woman.
"Is there something you need?"
The old woman didn't even raise her head as she spoke indifferently.
"Senior!"
Before the Feng Clan guard spoke, Duan Lingtian couldn't refrain himself from speaking first.
He recognized this old woman.
The old woman was none other than the Grandma Xu he'd met in the Phoenix Nest City's City Governor's Estate that day.
She was also someone that followed by Tian Wu's side.
At that time, for the sake of Tian Wu, Grandma Xu didn't even hesitate to kneel before him, and her loyalty to Tian Wu was something that the heavens and the earth could bear witness to.
Duan Lingtian had always felt respect towards Grandma Xu.
Duan Lingtian's voice broke the slightly silent atmosphere at the scene.
On the other hand, Grandma Xu finally raised her head slowly, and she noticed Duan Lingtian who stood behind the Feng Clan guard with a single glance.
"Young … Young Master Ling Tian!"
Grandma Xu's muddy eyes flickered with bright lights when she saw Duan Lingtian, and she spoke out with slight pleasant surprise.
On the other hand, when the Feng Clan guard saw the old woman lose her composure and call out Duan Lingtian's name, he truly realized that Duan Lingtian wasn't simple.
What a joke!
He was extremely clear about who this old woman before him was.
Supposedly, this old woman was once the personal servant girl by the side of the wife of the previous Patriarch of the Feng Clan, and she herself was an expert with extraordinary strength.
Presently, even if it was the Feng Clan's Patriarch, he would still have to be respectful when facing her.
She only had to say a single word to control the life and death of a Feng Clan guard like him.
"Senior, long time no see."
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled and nodded to Grandma Xu, and it could be considered as a greeting.
Grandma Xu didn't mind and called out to Duan Lingtian. "Young Master Ling Tian, please come in."
When Duan Lingtian walked into the estate within the estate before him, he didn't forget to turn around and nod to the Feng Clan guard. "Sorry for the trouble."
"Young Master Ling Tian, you're too courteous."
The Feng Clan guard hurriedly replied humbly.
The Feng Clan guard only took a deep breath when the estate within the estate before him was closed, and then he turned around and left.
His heart was filled with shock.
"Earlier, even if it was Senior Xu, he was extremely respectful when facing that young man … Even those Young Masters of our Feng Clan weren't treated like this by Senior Xu."
"He wouldn't be the Eldest Master's illegitimate son, right?"
As he thought about this, the Feng Clan guard couldn't help but guess in his heart.
Of course, he only dared to guess.
If he dared speak of this guess of his, then even if he had 10 lives, it still wouldn't be enough.
Presently, Duan Lingtian followed Grandma Xu into the estate within the estate within the Feng Clan Estate, and this estate belonged to the Feng Clan's Eldest Master, Feng Wu Dao.
"Young Master Ling Tian, when did you come to the Capital?"
Grandma Xu led Duan Lingtian in as she asked.
"I've been here for some time."
Duan Lingtian smiled lightly, and then he asked. "Senior, are City Governor Feng and Tian Wu here?"
Grandma Xu shook her head. "The Eldest Master and the Young Miss went out last month, and they'll probably be gone for some time … But they'll surely be able to rush back before the Dynasty Martial Competition."
They went out?
Duan Lingtian laughed bitterly. Looks like I've really come at the wrong time.
In next to no time, Duan Lingtian was invited into the main hall at the center of the estate by Grandma Xu, and she brewed a pot of tea for Duan Lingtian.
There wasn't a single servant or maidservant in the entire estate, and it was cold and cheerless.
"Elder Kong isn't here as well?"
Duan Lingtian looked at the surroundings and asked.
Grandma Xu nodded. "Elder Kong has gone out with the Eldest Master and the Young Miss … Young Master Ling Tian, you probably didn't come to the Darkhan Dynasty's Capital especially for the sake of looking for the Eldest Master and the Young Miss, right?"
Duan Lingtian had said earlier that he'd already arrived at the Darkhan Dynasty's Capital for some time, and this obviously showed that Duan Lingtian hadn't come here only for the sake of the Feng Clan.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded. "I've precisely come for the Dynasty Martial Competition."
"Dynasty Martial Competition?"
Grandma Xu was slightly surprised. "Could it be that Young Master Ling Tian has come representing the Darkstone Empire?"
Duan Lingtian continued nodding.
For a time, the gaze Grandma Xu shot at Duan Lingtian had completely changed. "I never imagined that in a short few years, Young Master Ling Tian's strength would actually improve so swiftly, and he even became eminent amongst the numerous young geniuses of the Darkstone Empire to obtain the qualifications to participate in the Dynasty Martial Competition."
"I was just lucky."
Duan Lingtian spoke modestly.
Luck?
Grandma Xu shook her head. She'd lived for more than half her life, so she naturally wouldn't believe that this was luck.
"As expected of the man the Young Miss is destined to be … Extraordinary as expected."
