"Fine, I'll wait for the gathering to start before I teach this trash a lesson!"
Li Qing took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes. A cold light flashed past his eyes.
Trash?
Duan Lingtian's mouth slightly curved.
This Li Qing, did he really think that because he admitted defeat last time, it was because he was afraid of him?
Last time, the Patriarch Li Ao intervened.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have admitted defeat.
This time, no one can stop him!
"Let's go sit over there for a while."
Glancing at Li Qing with disgust, Li Fei pulled Duan Lingtian's hand as if she was avoiding a fly. They walked into an empty pavilion not far away and sat side by side with Duan Lingtian.
Seeing this scene, Li Qing's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets!
Duan Lingtian.
Today, you will definitely die!
In Li Qing's heart, he gave Duan Lingtian a death sentence.
In his opinion.
A branch family disciple, and a disciple with a different surname, with his respected status in the main family, even if he killed him, there wouldn't be any problems.
"Little Fei 'er, that Li Qing can't wait to eat my flesh and drink my blood … It seems that if I want to make you my wife, there is a certain danger to my life …"
Although there was a distance between them, Duan Lingtian could still feel Li Qing's killing intent.
"Are you scared?"
Li Fei playfully blinked her eyes.
"Scared?"
Duan Lingtian faintly smiled.
As the strongest soldier on earth, he really didn't know what 'scared' was.
Duan Lingtian and Li Fei both came early to the genius gathering hosted by the Xiao family.
As time passed, more and more people came.
Among these people, there were two people from the Li family.
Li An, Li Zhong.
Besides the two people from the Li family, Duan Lingtian only recognized one person.
Lin Qi!
Seeing Lin Qi again, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but be a little surprised, because he could see that Lin Qi's temperament had changed.
Having inherited the memories of Emperor Wu of Samsara, Duan Lingtian had a unique insight.
With a single glance, one could tell that Lin Qi had already entered the Core Formation stage.
Lin Qi and another young man walked side by side.
This young man was about eighteen years old, and his features were somewhat similar to Lin Qi's.
He remembered something he had heard in the past.
Duan Lingtian vaguely guessed the identity of this person.
Lin Zhuo, Lin Qi's brother.
He was the number one youth of the Lin Family.
While Duan Lingtian was looking at Lin Qi, Lin Qi also saw Duan Lingtian. He spoke to the youth beside him and the two of them walked over.
This scene fell into the eyes of the other young geniuses on the Star Observation Platform.
"Duan Lingtian!"
Lin Qi greeted Duan Lingtian.
"Long time no see."
Duan Lingtian lightly nodded his head.
"This is my brother, Lin Zhuo … Brother, he's Duan Lingtian."
After Lin Qi introduced Lin Zhuo to Duan Lingtian, he introduced Duan Lingtian to Lin Zhuo.
"Duan Lingtian, I've heard my brother mention you long ago. Being able to defeat him, who was at the ninth level of the Body Tempering Stage, while only at the eighth level of the Body Tempering Stage.
What a surprise! "Lin Zhuo lightly smiled at Duan Lingtian.
"I've heard of your name long ago as well, the number one youth of the Lin Family. Nice to meet you."
Duan Lingtian replied with a smile.
"Duan Lingtian, I heard that during the Li Family's Martial Meet, you were able to exert the strength of three ancient mammoths with a cultivation at the ninth level of the Body Tempering Stage … Is it true?"
Lin Qi's eyes flickered as he stared into Duan Lingtian's eyes.
As if he wanted to see something from Duan Lingtian's eyes.
But he was bound to be disappointed.
Duan Lingtian only smiled mysteriously. From the beginning until the end, his eyes were as tranquil as an ancient well, without the slightest change.
"Little Qi, whether it's true or not will naturally become clear when the gathering begins. Are you still worried that you won't have the chance to see it?"
Compared to Lin Qi, Lin Zhuo was much calmer.
Lin Zhuo and Lin Qi quickly bid farewell to Duan Lingtian and walked towards another empty pergola.
"This Duan Lingtian seems to really not be simple. Could it be that the rumors are true?"
"Even Lin Zhuo took the initiative to greet him. His face is really big."
"Yeah, Lin Zhuo didn't even pay attention to the number one youth of the Li Family, Li Qing, and directly went to greet Duan Lingtian."
"Didn't they say that Lin Zhuo's younger brother, Lin Qi, was defeated by Duan Lingtian? Why isn't there the slightest smell of gunpowder when the two of them meet? "
"You don't understand. As the saying goes, no discord, no concord. Who knows, they might already be friends. "
"Makes sense."
… …
These young geniuses from the ordinary families of Aurora City whispered in discussion.
"Hmph!"
Li Qing heard these words and his expression became even gloomier.
"Li Qing, this is a good opportunity for you. You can seize this opportunity to cripple that Duan Lingtian."
Unknowingly, Li An had arrived by Li Qing's side and instigated.
"What I do isn't up to you to tell me what to do. Fuck off!"
Li Qing's gaze and voice went cold.
Li An's expression froze.
He took a deep breath before turning around and leaving.
Li An's expression was incomparably unsightly. As one of the leading figures of the Li family's younger generation, he had his own pride.
Ever since he started cultivating, Li Zhao had always suppressed him among his peers in the Li Family.
He had long since been dissatisfied with Li Qing.
Now that Li Qing had humiliated him like this, killing intent couldn't help but arise in his heart.
"Hmm?"
Duan Lingtian's sharp senses felt another killing intent.
When he raised his head to look.
"Li An?"
Duan Lingtian saw Li An leave from Li Qing's side.
The killing intent originated from Li An and was directed at Li Qing.
"This Li An isn't easy to deal with."
Duan Lingtian became vigilant in his heart.
Although, in terms of strength, Li Qing surpassed Li An.
But in terms of the degree of danger, Li Qing couldn't compare to Li An.
For example, if Li Qing was a wild wolf, then Li An was a venomous snake that lay dormant in the dark …
The latter was even more terrifying than the former.
Suddenly, the Star Observation Platform was in an uproar.
"Xiao Lan has arrived!"
"She's one of the three great beauties of Aurora City along with Li Fei and Lin Yuhuan. Her reputation is well-deserved!"
… …
Cries of surprise rose and fell one after another.
The burning gazes of the youths descended onto the young girl that was walking over from afar.
The young girl's soft and smooth long hair was like a waterfall that flowed down and danced with the wind.
Her devastatingly beautiful face seemed to have been meticulously sculpted.
In the hazy morning mist, the young girl seemed to have transformed into a fairy that had descended from the heavens.
"Hmm?"
Duan Lingtian's gaze was also attracted by the young girl that was walking over from afar.
Xiao Lan?
He'd heard of this name before.
One of the three great beauties of Aurora City, along with Li Fei.
At the beginning, he didn't really believe it.
In his opinion, no matter if it was Kerr or Li Fei, they were both rare beauties that could cause the downfall of a city.
Other women were definitely unable to compare to them.
But after seeing Xiao Lan today, Duan Lingtian realized his mistake.
This Xiao Lan's beauty was indeed not inferior to Li Fei's.
Xiao Lan looked to be around eighteen years old. Her movements were elegant, her smile was like a flower, and her every frown and smile revealed an extraordinary charm.
If it was said that Li Fei was a red rose, charming like fire.
Xiao Lan was a snow lotus, growing out of the mud without being tainted.
The two women's appearances were about the same, but their temperaments were completely different. They were two extremes.
What a well-bred young lady!
Duan Lingtian secretly praised in his heart.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian felt pain in his thigh and couldn't help but cry out.
Only then did he realize that Li Fei was angrily staring at him, her hand fiercely pinching his thigh.
"Didn't you say that you don't care about other women?"
Li Fei was a bit annoyed.
"Good, Fei 'er. Everyone loves beauty. Hurry up and take your hand away. I won't look anymore."
Duan Lingtian smiled bitterly.
But his heart was blooming with joy.
Li Fei's attitude undoubtedly showed that she was jealous. In other words, although she didn't want to admit it on the surface, in her heart, she had already tacitly acknowledged that he was her man.
Otherwise, why would she be jealous for him?
In his previous life, Duan Lingtian knew a woman's thoughts like the back of his hand.
"Hmph!"
Li Fei snorted in dissatisfaction before letting go of her hand.
Duan Lingtian's gaze fell on the young girl beside Xiao Lan.
Compared to Xiao Lan, this young girl was overshadowed.
It wasn't that she was very ugly.
In terms of looks, she was definitely on the same level as Li Shishi.
It was just that compared to Xiao Lan, she was inferior by quite a bit.
Duan Lingtian saw that Xiao Lan and Li Shishi walked towards the innermost gazebo.
At this time, Xiao Yu went up to greet them.
Reaching out, he held Xiao Lan's hand and brought her into the gazebo.
"So she's one of Xiao Yu's people … But these guys still dare to look at beautiful women without restraint. Aren't they afraid that Xiao Yu will find trouble with them?"
Duan Lingtian noticed that the gazes of most of the youths on the observatory were still on Xiao Lan.
"Only your thoughts are so complicated. Xiao Yu and Xiao Lan are biological siblings, twin siblings."
Li Fei rolled her eyes at Duan Lingtian.
Twin siblings?
For some reason, after hearing Li Fei's words, Duan Lingtian actually heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
"The young girl beside Xiao Lan doesn't seem to be simple either …"
Duan Lingtian's gaze fell on the young girl beside Xiao Lan.
He could confirm that this young girl around the age of seventeen wasn't a Body Tempering Stage martial artist, but had already stepped into the Core Formation Stage.
"Of course, she's the daughter of the Xiao Clan's Patriarch, Xiao Yun. The former number one disciple of the Xiao Clan's outer court, a figure on par with our Li family's Li Kuang and Lin family's Lin Qi."
Li Fei said.
Duan Lingtian came to a sudden realization.
He remembered now.
When he had fought with Lin Qi, Lin Qi had mentioned this Xiao Yun.
After a while, everyone had arrived.
At this time, as the host, Xiao Yu stepped out and arrived at the center of the observatory.
"Everyone, before the gathering begins, I have a piece of good news to tell everyone … This year, our Aurora City's three great clans have taken out many good things as rewards for the young geniuses that are ranked on this year's Hidden Dragon Ranking."
Xiao Yu slowly said.
On the observatory, the sound of many hurried breathing could be heard.
Especially those young geniuses that didn't come from the three great clans, all of their eyes shone and they lost their composure.
Seeing this scene, Duan Lingtian could understand.
The three great clans of Aurora City practically monopolized all the profiteering industries in Aurora City.
The other small clans could only pick up the scraps.
To these young geniuses of the small clans, the rewards they received from being ranked on the Hidden Dragon Ranking was something that their clans might not be able to provide even if they exhausted all their resources.
"Young Master Yu, what are the rewards? Please tell us about them."
"Yeah, Childe Yu, we all want to know."
… …
The young geniuses from the various small clans all spoke out.
"Hmph! A bunch of country bumpkins. "
