"Senior."
Duan Lingtian looked at Grandma Xu and said curiously, "I asked those Feng Clan guards at the entrance of the Feng Clan Estate earlier … They seemed to not know of the existence of Tian Wu."
This was something that Duan Lingtian was deeply puzzled about until now.
Feng Tianwu was the daughter of the Feng Clan's Eldest Master, Feng Wu Dao.
Logically speaking, everyone in the Feng Clan ought to know of her.
But those Feng Clan guards seemed as if they'd utterly not heard that the Feng Clan possessed a figure like Feng Tianwu.
"This isn't strange."
Grandma Xu shook her head and said slowly, "To a certain extent, the existence of the Young Miss isn't acknowledged by our Feng Clan … In our Feng Clan, only the people by the Eldest Master's side and the Young Miss's side, and some higher-ups of the Feng Clan know of the Young Miss's existence."
"All along, the higher-ups of the Feng Clan have intentionally concealed the existence of the Young Miss to the outside world … So, in the Feng Clan, not to mention those Clan Generals, servants, and servant girls, even some young direct line disciples don't know of the existence of the Young Miss."
As she finished speaking, Grandma Xu sighed.
"Why did the Feng Clan's higher-ups do this?"
Duan Lingtian frowned.
"Because of the Feng Clan's face."
Grandma Xu spoke slowly.
"Face?"
Duan Lingtian was slightly puzzled.
Could it be that Tian Wu's existence can affect the Feng Clan's face?
What sort of explanation is this?
"If Young Master Ling Tian has the time, then this old woman will disturb Young Master Ling Tian … Allow Young Master Ling Tian to understand the cause of this matter."
Suddenly, Grandma Xu sat down at the side.
"I have the time."
Duan Lingtian nodded, and he was filled with curiosity towards the cause of this matter.
At this moment, Grandma Xu slowly opened her mouth.
"Many years ago, beneath the Imperial Family in the Darkhan Dynasty, there were two great clans that reigned supreme … These two great clans were respectively our Feng Clan and the Long Clan."
"Our Feng Clan and Long Clan have always been like fire and water. In the end, we even completely shed all pretenses and caused a storm of blood … The two great clans started an unprecedented battle."
"At that time, the battle between the two great clans was so intense that it was hard for ordinary people to imagine … The upper echelons of the two great clans all swore that they would exterminate the other clan, and completely exterminate the other clan's bloodline!"
"30 years ago, our Feng Clan schemed against the Long Clan and killed numerous Void Interpretation Stage experts. Since then, the Long Clan was suppressed by our Feng Clan and was even almost annihilated by our Feng Clan!"
"And it was at that time that no one would have imagined … that the son of our Feng Clan's Patriarch, the Eldest Young Master of the Feng Clan, would actually save the Third Young Miss of the Long Clan and even have deep feelings for her."
"When the Old Patriarch found out about this matter, it was already many years later … At that time, our Feng Clan's Eldest Young Master and Long Clan's Third Young Miss had already given birth to a daughter. That time, the old patriarch was angered to death. "
"The Long Clan's Third Young Miss blamed herself and chose to commit suicide … At that time, only a single bloodline remained in the Long Clan, and that was …"
When Grandma Xu spoke up to here, she was already sighing repeatedly.
"That was Tian Wu, right?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
"Yes."
Grandma Xu nodded.
"As expected."
Duan Lingtian's gaze was complicated.
When Grandma Xu spoke of this story, he'd guessed that the Feng Clan's Eldest Young Master in the story was Feng Wu Dao.
Whereas the Long Clan's Third Young Miss was Tian Wu's mother.
Tian Wu possessed the bloodline of both the Long Clan and Feng Clan …
"What happened after that? Did City Governor Feng protect Tian Wu? "
Duan Lingtian asked.
After arriving in this world for so long, he had a certain level of understanding towards some things in this world.
A great clan like the Feng Clan attached great importance to face.
The Feng Clan's Old Patriarch was angered to death because he felt that his son had brought shame to the Feng Clan, and it was because he didn't teach his son well.
Duan Lingtian was able to imagine it.
After Tian Wu's mother committed suicide, all the higher-ups of the Feng Clan would surely cut off the last trace of the Long Clan's bloodline for the sake of the vow the Feng Clan had once made.
Feng Tianwu.
"No." Grandma Xu shook her head.
"At that time, even though the Eldest Young Master's strength could be said to be at the top amongst his peers, he wasn't a match for that group of old fellows … At that time, it was the Lord Priest and Elder Kong that interfered and protected the Young Miss's life."
"But from that time onwards, the higher-ups of the Feng Clan came to an agreement … to not allow outsiders to know of all this. Whereas the Young Miss was hidden away, and from then on, she followed by the side of the former Eldest Young Master, the current Eldest Young Master, and lived in seclusion. "
"It was precisely because of this that very few people in the Feng Clan knew of the Young Miss's existence."
Grandma Xu finished speaking in a single breath.
Duan Lingtian let out a long sigh. "I truly never imagined that Tian Wu had such a complicated past … Does Tian Wu know of all this?"
"She doesn't."
Grandma Xu shook her head, and her expression gradually became serious. "Young Master Ling Tian, you must not mention this matter to the Young Miss no matter what … Otherwise, I'm afraid the Young Miss will find it difficult to accept."
"I understand."
Duan Lingtian nodded solemnly.
He was able to imagine.
If Tian Wu found out about this matter, she would probably be overwhelmed with pain.
My grandfather was angered to death by me and my parents.
Whereas my mother committed suicide because of the death of my grandfather …
Most importantly, the other half of the bloodline in her body belonged to the Long Clan.
Whereas the Long Clan was annihilated by the Feng Clan!
If Tian Wu were to find out the truth of all this, then how would she deal with it?
Duan Lingtian found it difficult to imagine.
So up until now, the best solution was to never allow Tian Wu to find out about this secret.
"She's truly a little girl with a fate full of misfortune … Her background is so pitiful, and she even possesses the Fire Spirit Body."
At this moment, Duan Lingtian felt even more pity towards Feng Tianwu in his heart.
"Young Master Ling Tian, the Young Miss will be participating in the Dynasty Martial Competition this time … At that time, the Young Miss will officially make an appearance before everyone!"
As Grandma Xu spoke up to here, she revealed a rare smile.
"Are the Feng Clan higher-ups willing to allow Tian Wu to make an appearance before everyone?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
"Now, it's already beyond their control."
Grandma Xu spoke slowly, and the space between her brows revealed strong confidence.
It's beyond their control?
Duan Lingtian was first stunned, and then he recovered from his shock and guessed the meaning contained within Grandma Xu's words.
"Looks like City Governor Feng doesn't have to care about the feelings of that group of Feng Clan higher-ups anymore … But, even if Tian Wu makes an appearance before everyone, her identity will probably be intentionally concealed."
This was something Duan Lingtian could confirm.
He believed it.
As Tian Wu's father, for the sake of Tian Wu, City Governor Feng would absolutely not allow Tian Wu to know of her background.
But there was one thing he could be sure of.
That was, Tian Wu, the only daughter of the Feng Clan's Eldest Master, would be known by the world from today onwards and receive great honor and favor …
"Tian Wu."
Duan Lingtian was happy for Tian Wu as well.
Tian Wu finally didn't have to conceal herself any longer.
"This little girl with a fate full of misfortune, I hope a method to deal with her Fire Spirit Body can be found … Presently, my true age is almost approaching 30 years old. But up until now, there are still no signs of awakening an innate spirit body. "
Duan Lingtian sighed in his heart.
Even though he'd been taken to be the man that Feng Tianwu was destined to be.
But up until now, he was utterly unable to help Feng Tianwu deal with the latent threat of the Fire Spirit Body.
"Perhaps, that 'prophecy' is wrong after all."
Duan Lingtian thought in his heart.
"Young Master Ling Tian, why don't you stay here first and wait for the Eldest Master and the Young Miss to return?"
Grandma Xu suggested.
"There's no need."
Duan Lingtian shook his head. "I have a place to stay … Since City Governor Feng and Tian Wu will return before the Dynasty Martial Competition, then I'll naturally have the chance to meet them at that time."
Subsequently, Duan Lingtian bid his farewells and left.
Grandma Xu sent Duan Lingtian all the way to the entrance of the Feng Clan Estate.
This caused the group of guards at the entrance of the Feng Clan Estate to be dumbstruck.
They only recovered from their shock when Grandma Xu left and Duan Lingtian's figure vanished before their eyes.
"Senior Xu actually personally sent this Young Master out … Who exactly is he?"
"As someone by the side of the Eldest Master, Senior Xu has always lived in seclusion. Even if it's the group of Young Masters and Young Misses in the clan, Senior Xu doesn't pay the slightest attention to them … Yet this young man is able to make her treat him like this, it's truly shocking."
…
Many Feng Clan guards whispered in discussion.
On the other hand, the Feng Clan guard that brought Duan Lingtian in earlier maintained a calm expression from the beginning until the end.
He wasn't surprised by everything that happened earlier.
Because he'd noticed since long ago that the old woman had a respectful attitude towards the violet clothed young man.
"Even though I didn't see City Governor Feng and Tian Wu when I came to the Feng Clan this time, but I found out about Tian Wu's origins, so I didn't come here in vain."
After Duan Lingtian left the Feng Clan, he intended to return to the estate the Darkstone Empire had purchased in the Darkhan Dynasty's Capital.
When he passed by a restaurant, there just happened to be two middle aged men that walked past Duan Lingtian.
The conversation between the two of them drew Duan Lingtian's attention.
"The Zhang Clan is probably going to be in the limelight this time … That Eldest Young Master of the Zhang Clan that returned has already broken through to the eighth level of the Void Initiation Stage at such a young age. It's truly shocking."
"Supposedly, the Zhang Clan's Eldest Young Master has already touched the threshold of the ninth level of the Void Initiation Stage … He has a chance of breaking through to the ninth level of the Void Initiation Stage when the Dynasty Martial Competition begins!"
"Looks like the Zhang Clan will surely be able to obtain a position to participate in the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties this time."
…
Eldest Young Master Zhang?
Surnamed Zhang?
For a time, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but recall that Big Brother Zhang, Zhang Shou Yong, that he'd had some interactions with that day.
"Big Brother Zhang seems to be a member of the Darkhan Dynasty's Zhang Clan … Could it be that the Eldest Young Master Zhang they spoke of that has returned is Big Brother Zhang?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes lit up as he strode out at the same time to stop the two people that were discussing animatedly.
