"Yes … Yes."
The young man hurriedly nodded and said respectfully and reverently, "Commander Duan, I'm the third son of the Su Clan's Patriarch, Su Bo Ya. I'm called Su Rang."
"I remember now! He's the Commander of our Crimson Sky Kingdom's Embroidered Uniform Guard all those years ago, Duan Lingtian! "
Someone in the surrounding crowd shouted out.
His words were like a fuse that caused the crowd to go into an uproar.
"I remember as well … Commander Duan is the number one genius in the Martial Dao in the history of our Crimson Sky Kingdom, and he's even the strategic genius that once led our Crimson Sky Kingdom's army to capture the Southern Champion Kingdom's Southern Barbaric City without expending a single soldier!"
"Now that you mention it, I remember as well … I was only 15 when Commander Duan led the army to capture the Southern Barbaric City. I never imagined that after so many years, Commander Duan is still so young. "
"Hmph! Don't forget, when Duan Lingtian led the army to capture the Southern Barbaric City that year, he was only a young man around the age of 20. "
"Commander Duan is my idol … I never imagined that I would have the chance to see my idol in person today, I have no more regrets in my life."
…
The surrounding passersby discussed animatedly.
Numerous burning gazes descended onto Duan Lingtian in unison.
All those years ago, Duan Lingtian was a figure that was like the sun in the midday sky in the Crimson Sky Kingdom. Not only was his natural talent in the Martial Dao peerless, even his military strategy was unparalleled.
During that era, Duan Lingtian could be said to be a flag of the Crimson Sky Kingdom.
"Duan Lingtian? He … He's Duan Lingtian?! "
When the young man in embroidered clothes that knelt on the ground raised his head and looked at Duan Lingtian once more, there was no arrogance on his face, and there was only terror and astonishment.
The name Duan Lingtian wasn't unfamiliar to him in the slightest.
It was even to the extent that when Duan Lingtian's name shook the entire Crimson Sky Kingdom, he, who was young, had once taken Duan Lingtian as his idol and was fanatical for him for a period of time.
Many years had passed as he grew up day by day, and this memory was buried deep within his heart.
Now, the idol of the past was right in front of him, and he was humiliated by him.
He even had thoughts of dying!
"What kind of explanation are you going to give to me and my friend for what happened today? If you can't make the decision, I can go talk to your father. "
Duan Lingtian looked at Su Rang and asked indifferently.
Hearing this, Su Rang took a deep breath. "Don't worry, Commander Duan. I will give you a satisfactory explanation. There's no need to trouble my father with this matter. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Rang's leg shot out like lightning, aiming at the Dantian of the young man in brocade who was kneeling on the ground.
Bang!
An enormous bang resounded out as the milky white Origin Energy within the young man's Dantian gushed out with a bang, and his entire body was kicked flying by Su Rang like an arrow that had left the bow, causing him to once again fall flat on his face in a sorry state.
His cultivation had been crippled.
"Cousin … you … you crippled my cultivation!!"
The young man let out a few shrill cries of pain. In the end, he forcefully endured the pain that came from his lower abdomen, and he stared at Su Rang with hatred as he cried out with a grim voice.
But Su Rang paid no attention to him, and instead looked at Duan Lingtian as he said respectfully, "Commander Duan, are you satisfied with my punishment? If you're still not satisfied, then I'll kill him right now. "
Su Rang's tone was cold and indifferent, and his words seemed as if the young man in brocade wasn't related to him in the slightest.
It was difficult to imagine that Su Rang and the young man in brocade were actually cousins.
"You … are very good. At the very least, as far as I'm concerned, you're stronger than Su Bo Ya. "
Duan Lingtian glanced deeply at Su Rang, and he couldn't help but slightly admire Su Rang's courage.
After all, Su Rang was his cousin.
As the saying goes, even a vicious tiger wouldn't eat its cubs. Not to mention Su Rang's ability in other aspects, merely his method of dealing with a crisis was sufficient to cause others to admire him.
The matter today seemed to be simple, and it was only a profligate son causing trouble.
But if one thought about it from a deeper perspective.
With his current strength and background, annihilating the Su Clan wasn't difficult in the slightest.
And Su Rang was able to make the choice of sacrificing a rook to save the king at the most critical moment. This showed that he was an extremely calm and capable person.
"Commander Duan, you're too kind."
Su Rang's expression didn't change when he was praised by Duan Lingtian. "Commander Duan, what do you mean?"
"I mean what my friend means."
Duan Lingtian shrugged and took a step back, allowing Feng Tianwu, who was behind him, to come out.
At this moment, Su Rang looked at Feng Tianwu, and his eyes revealed a trace of surprise, but he didn't dare look at her too much, and he slightly lowered his head.
His heart was filled with shock.
According to what he knew.
This Duan Lingtian was Princess Bi Yao's sweetheart.
Besides that, the younger sister of Xiao Yu, the number one figure in the younger generation of the Xiao Clan, whose appearance wasn't inferior to Princess Bi Yao's, seemed to have a soft spot for Duan Lingtian as well.
He'd seen Princess Bi Yao and Xiao Yu's younger sister, and he was shocked by them. He felt that it would be difficult to find a woman in the world that was more beautiful than them.
But now, the woman before him had allowed him to realize how wrong his original thoughts were.
Not only was this woman dressed in red not inferior to Princess Biyao and Xiao Yu's younger sister in terms of appearance, but her temperament was even more superior than them.
He felt that this red clothed woman's bearing was even more elegant than Princess Bi Yao.
"Tian Wu, how do you want to deal with him?"
A warm smile appeared on Duan Lingtian's face when he faced Feng Tianwu.
Feng Tianwu shook her head. "Elder Brother Duan, since his cultivation has already been crippled, then so be it."
Obviously, Feng Tianwu didn't intend to pursue the matter.
"Get your ass over here and thank me!"
Su Rang couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he heard Feng Tianwu.
Even though he would choose to cut off his wrist and kill his cousin with his own hands if he had no other choice.
But if it wasn't necessary, he still hoped that his cousin would be able to survive.
No matter what, Duan Lingtian was still his cousin that had followed behind him since he was young, and he had a deep relationship with him.
Meanwhile, the young man in embroidered clothes that had his cultivation crippled seemed to have realized that the danger had vanished. After he heard Su Rang's words, he didn't dare hesitate and hurriedly dragged his injured body to kneel before Feng Tianwu.
Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!
…
The young man in embroidered clothes raised his hands and slapped himself left and right, and he said as he slapped, "Thank you, Young Miss, for sparing my life! Thank you, Young Miss, for sparing my life! "
Feng Tianwu glanced at the young man in embroidered clothes with disgust, and then her gaze quickly moved onto Duan Lingtian and smiled lightly. "Elder Brother Duan, let's go."
Her heart was filled with warmth towards Duan Lingtian standing up for her like this.
"Okay."
Duan Lingtian nodded, and under the respectful gazes of Su Rang and the others, he left with the three members of the Feng Clan and vanished at the end of the street.
"Alright, they've already left."
When he saw the figures of Duan Lingtian and the others vanish before his eyes while the young man in embroidered clothes was still slapping himself numbly, Su Rang frowned and stopped the young man.
"I know you're angry with me in your heart … But I want to tell you that you'll either have your cultivation crippled or die today! Earlier, I was only taking a gamble, and I hoped that your cultivation would be able to suppress the rage of Duan Lingtian. "
Su Rang looked at his cousin brother and sighed. "You, don't blame me."
The young man in embroidered clothes nodded with a wooden expression, and then he said bitterly, "Cousin Brother, I understand. Today's matter was indeed brought upon by my own actions. "
"It's good that you understand."
Su Rang nodded, and then his gaze flashed. "I never expected that Duan Lingtian has returned …"
When Duan Lingtian brought the three members of the Feng Clan back to his courtyard house, he only saw a few familiar faces, and all of them were those servant girls that followed by Jingru's side that day.
"Young Master!"
When they saw Duan Lingtian once more, the servant girls couldn't help but be slightly excited.
Duan Lingtian smiled lightly to them, and then he asked. "Why is it only the few of you? Where's the Lord, Madam, and Jingru? "
"Young Master, the Lord and Madam left with Big Sister Jingru two years ago. Big Sister Jingru asked us to stay behind and wait for you to return before telling you about this matter. "
One of the servant girls said.
"Young Master, before the Lord left, he asked us to tell you that he left some things with the Divine Might Marquis, and he asked you to go get it yourself."
Another servant girl said.
"Left? Two years ago? "
Duan Lingtian frowned. "My father and mother haven't returned during these past two years?"
"They haven't."
The servant girls shook their heads successively. "Two years ago, when the Lord and Madam left with Big Sister Jingru, Young Miss Xiao Lan, and Princess Biyao, they seemed to have gone on a long journey, and they didn't say when they would return."
"Xiao Lan and Biyao were taken away by them as well?"
Duan Lingtian's expression froze, and for a time, he felt a slight headache.
What do my father and mother want to do?
If I want to go out to relieve boredom, then can't I go out by myself? Why do I have to take Xiao Lan and Biyao along?
Aren't they intentionally trying to cause them to misunderstand?
Duan Lingtian was slightly speechless.
He wasn't disappointed that he didn't see his father and mother upon returning this time, and it was even to the extent that he felt slightly fortunate … Of course, the reason he felt fortunate was because of Feng Wu Dao who was by his side.
Feng Wu Dao had come with him this time precisely for the sake of seeing his father and mother.
As for the objective, he was extremely clear in his heart, and it was none other than for the sake of the matter between him and Tian Wu.
Sure enough, when he heard Duan Lingtian's father and mother had gone on a long journey, a trace of disappointment flashed past Feng Wu Dao's eyes, and then he sighed. "Looks like I've really come at a bad time."
"There'll always be a chance to meet them in the future."
Duan Lingtian smiled. But his smile now seemed fake no matter how one looked at it.
"Kid, you surely wish for nothing more than for me to be unable to see your father and mother, right?"
Feng Wu Dao glanced deeply at Duan Lingtian, and he seemed to be able to see through Duan Lingtian's thoughts.
"Of course not."
Duan Lingtian smiled embarrassedly, and then he didn't continue pestering himself on this matter, and he instructed the servant girls. "Go prepare a room for each of the three guests."
"Yes."
The three servant girls responded and left, and in a short moment, they'd prepared a room for each of Feng Wu Dao's group of three.
"Uncle Feng, Tian Wu, Elder Kong … Since the rooms have been prepared, all of you return to your rooms and rest first. I still have some matters to attend to, and I have to make a trip out. "
