Bring me to see Xue Nai? Upon hearing Greenwave City Governors words, Duan Ling Tian was stunned but the moment he recalled the situation that Han Xue Nai was in now, he calmed down again.
It looked like things might just be as he suspected. Han Xue Nai had most likely been grounded.
Thank you, City Governor. Duan Ling Tian nodded and expressed his gratitude to the Greenwave City Governor.
If youre really a friend of the Eldest Miss, then youre a guest of our Greenwave Han Mansion as well. Of course, I wont treat you badly, assured the Greenwave City Governor.
The meaning of his words was apparent as well. All of this was because he respected Han Xue Nai.
If Duan Ling Tian were not Han Xue Nais friend, he would not give a damn about him at all.
In fact, this was fully understandable.
As the Greenwave City Governor, the person-in-charge of the Greenwave Han Mansions sub-mansion in Greenwave City, he was an elder who also had a high position in the Greenwave Han Mansion. With the Greenwave Han Mansion as his backbone, along with the fact that his own strength being quite powerful, it was natural for him to be haughty and treat anyone as he pleased.
The reason he treated Duan Ling Tian so politely was mostly because of the respect that he had towards his own Eldest Miss, Han Xue Nai.
If he could affirm that Han Xue Nai did not have such a friend, then he would no longer be this polite anymore. Not only that, but he would also punish Duan Ling Tian as well.
Duan Ling Tian could roughly guess what the Greenwave City Governor was thinking about, but he was not worried at all.
This was because he did indeed know the Eldest Miss of the Greenwave Han Mansion. She was Han Xue Nai, that same Han Xue Nai who would always follow alongside him and would always call him Brother Ling Tian last time.
City Governor, can you please ask your man to help me pass a message to Xue Nai? Even though Duan Ling Tian was sure that Xue Nai would immediately think of him the moment she heard of the name Ling Tian, he still decided to make a full-fledged preparation just in case.
Of course. The Greenwave City Governor nodded his head. To him, this was only a small matter.
Please ask your man to tell Xue Nai that Brother Ling Tian is here, Duan Ling Tian said.
Brother Ling Tian?
Upon hearing his words, the Greenwave City Governor narrowed his eyes.
This kind of address shocked him. After all, unless they were closely related, it was basically impossible for her to address him like this.
However, according to this young man who was called Ling Tian, the Eldest Miss of their Greenwave Han Mansion actually called him Brother Ling Tian.
Right at this moment, his attitude also had undergone an earth-shattering transformation.
Brother Ling Tian, Ill bring you to rest first. This time, the tone that the Greenwave City Governor used was much warmer when he talked to Duan Ling Tian again, as though this man who was standing in front of him was not a person whom he had just met, but an old friend whom he had long known for many years.
The change in the Greenwave City Governors attitude was within Duan Ling Tians expectation, so he was not surprised at all.
After leaving the main palace, the Greenwave City Governor took the initiative to introduce himself, Im Han Qing, the External Affairs Elder of the Greenwave Han Mansion. Usually, Im responsible for all the affairs in Greenwave City. If you dont mind, Brother Ling Tian, you can call me Big Brother as Greenwave City Governor sounds a little too formal.
If it were an ordinary Martial Cultivator who had not made a breakthrough to the Saint Stage yet, it would be impossible for Han Qing to call him brother, even if his innate talent was very high, higher than Duan Ling Tian in fact.
The reason Han Qing lowered himself down and called Duan Ling Tian brother was mostly because of the Eldest Miss of their Greenwave Han Mansion, Han Xue Nai.
In the Greenwave Han Mansion, although he was an elder who held a high position, he was still far from being comparable to Han Xue Nai.
Most importantly, it was because he respected the Greenwave Han Mansions Mansion Master, Han Xue Nais father, a lot. Back then when he was still young, the Mansion Master had saved his life before. Otherwise, he would have long been dead now.
It was exactly because of this that he respected Han Xue Nai, the precious daughter of the Mansion Master a lot too.
Big Brother Han Qing. Duan Ling Tian was the type of person who would be respectful if the other party was respectful to him too. Besides that, until now, the impression that Han Qing had given him was quite pleasant as well.
Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian addressing him, Han Qing broke out into a smile.
Actually, after Duan Ling Tian had uttered the message that he wanted to pass on to Han Xue Nai, Han Qing was almost 100% certain that Duan Ling Tian was Han Xue Nais friend. Otherwise, he would not have dared to come to the Greenwave City Governor to be reckless unless he was just seeking his own death.
However, this purple-clad young man who had a cold and aloof face did not seem like someone who was seeking for his own death no matter what.
Most importantly, their Greenwave Han Mansions Eldest Miss seemed to also have quite a close relationship with this person, hence his attitude had undergone an earth-shattering transformation too.
Big Brother Han Qing, even though Ive just arrived at Greenwave City, Ive also heard about the news of how that Rising Sky Mansions Young Mansion Master wants to marry Xue Nai. This matter... Duan Ling Tian looked at Han Qing, but before he could finish his sentence, he noticed that Han Qings expression had already turned grave.
That Young Mansion Master from the Rising Sky Mansion is completely a toad lusting after a swans flesh! Hes a dandy, good-for-nothing, rich playboy by nature and he doesnt deserve the Eldest Miss at all, Han Qing said in a deep voice. It was apparent that he was very displeased about this marriage as well.
His life had been saved by the Greenwave Han Mansion Master and of course, he would stand by Han Xue Nais side when it came to this matter.
However, I heard that that Rising Sky Mansion is a fourth-rated force and Im afraid itd be hard for the Greenwave Han Mansion to reject this matter. Is that right? Duan Ling Tian asked.
Its indeed hard to reject. Han Qing nodded. After taking a deep breath, he continued again, Right now, our Greenwave Han Mansion has already been split into two great sides because of this matter. One side is led by the Lord Mansion Master and is unwilling to agree to this marriage while the other is led by the Supreme Elder. They want the Eldest Miss to agree to this marriage to prevent offending the Rising Sky Mansion.
Which side has the best of the struggle now? Duan Ling Tian frowned as he asked.
The Supreme Elders side. Anger flashed across Han Qings eyes as he said in a deep voice, To be honest, I really have never noticed what a coward our Greenwave Han Mansion is, but in the face of a Rising Sky Mansion, everyone has become a coward, cowering in fear that the people from the Rising Sky Mansion would kill them. They dont even feel ashamed to use a little girls happiness in exchange for their own safety!
Upon hearing Han Qings words, Duan Ling Tian could also sense that the situation was not promising.
Big Brother Han Qing, can you tell me the situation about the Greenwave Han Mansion? Duan Ling Tian asked.
Brother Ling Tian, its not that I dont believe in you, but since these are the secrets of our Greenwave Han Mansion, its not convenient for me to tell you too much before the Eldest Miss has confirmed your identity yet, Han Qing told Duan Ling Tian apologetically. How about this? After the Eldest Miss has confirmed your identity, Ill tell all of the ins and outs about the situation of our Greenwave Han Mansion to you. Is it okay?
You dont have to feel guilty. This is reasonable and I can understand. Duan Ling Tian could comprehend Han Qings worries so he did not ask anymore.
Under Han Qings arrangement, Duan Ling Tian stayed in the Greenwave City Governors Estate. Han Qing had arranged a vast residence for him and there was even a wide field in the residence that he could use to practice his martial arts. Other than that, there were also a few vacant rooms.
The room was spotlessly clean and it was apparent that it was often cleaned.
After bidding goodbye with Duan Ling Tian, Han Qing proceeded to leave as he still had some other affairs that he needed to handle.
Even though he did not doubt Duan Ling Tians identity, he still sent his men to the Greenwave Han Mansions estate to look for Eldest Miss Han Xue Nai to confirm just in case.
After Han Qing left, Duan Ling Tian returned to his room and closed the room door, he entered the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda to continue his cultivation.
How amazing would it be if I could make a breakthrough to the Saint Stage? Who knows? I might be able to be of some help to Xue Nai too. The moment he thought about Han Xue Nais current situation, his heart felt a little heavy.
In his eyes, Xue Nai was like his younger sister that he needed to protect and watch over. She was no different from his biological sister.
Now that it concerned Xue Nais happiness, even he was burning with anxiety now.
Even though Xue Nais father is the Greenwave Han Mansion Master, as a fifth-rated force, of course, the Mansion Master wouldnt have all the say unless Xue Nais father has the strength and is able to compel everything and everyone in the Greenwave Han Mansion by dominance. But, for now, its apparent that his strength has not reached such a level yet. Upon recalling the words that Han Qing said just now, Duan Ling Tians heart turned even heavier as though a stone had pressed down on it.
Taking a deep breath, Duan Ling Tian did his best to calm himself down before immersing himself completely in his cultivation.
While Duan Ling Tian was cultivating, someone walked out of the Greenwave City Governors Estate.
After leaving the City Governors Estate, this man left Greenwave City and headed to the north. After spending a day and a night, he finally entered a deep mountain that was surrounded by clouds.
Behind the deep mountain was where the Greenwave Han Mansions estate was situated.
He was from the Greenwave City Governors Estate and at the same time, he was from the Greenwave Han Mansion too. Therefore, he was not blocked during his journey and easily arrived at the central district of the Greenwave Han Mansions estate.
Im the Deputy Commander of the mansion guards of the Greenwave City Governors Estate. Im here to look for the Eldest Miss. Standing outside the residence that Han Xue Nai, the Greenwave Han Mansions Eldest Miss was living in, the curly bearded man wearing armor who was worn out by his long journey, told the two maids outside of the great entrance of the residence.
One of the maids entered to report this news at once.
Young Miss has asked you to enter. Soon, the maid came out again and brought the curly bearded man in.
The backyard of the mansion had a vast lake with a pavilion beside it.
A person was sitting beside the pavilion. It was a woman who possessed an ultimately beautiful appearance. Leaning quietly right there, it was as though the colors of everything by her surroundings dimmed down in comparison.
However, there was a hint of anxiety in her eyes as she stared at the lake ahead. Nobody knew what she was thinking at all.
Young Miss. Only until the maid opened her mouth, the woman finally snapped back to reality. At the same time, she looked at the curly bearded man by the side of the maid before forcing a smile with great difficulty as she asked, Is Uncle Qing looking for me?
He was from the Greenwave City Governors Estate. The only person that she was familiar with in the Greenwave City Governors Estate was Han Qing, who was also the City Governor of Greenwave City as well.
Yes, Eldest Miss, replied the curly bearded man respectfully.
