Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Tang Chun was very honest. Even after leaving the Hidden Fog Academy and Yun Hui was not around, he was still very friendly toward Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian, its the first time a genius like you has appeared in Skywind Citys Hidden Fog Academy. With this, the Skywind City Progeny will be thrust into the spotlight.

After leaving the Hidden Fog Academy, Tang Chun was not in a hurry to bring Duan Ling Tian to the Hidden Fog Sect. Instead, he brought Duan Ling Tian to a restaurant first.

Elder Tang Chun, youre overpraising me. Duan Ling Tian shook his head and smiled.

If you maintain this momentum, even if you cant become a core disciple now, youll definitely become a core disciple when youre a King of Gods, Tang Chun said with a smile, As a core disciple, the sect wont hold back in nurturing you. Youll also enjoy the same treatment as the inner elders of the sect.

Then, Tang Chun said enviously, For me and Yun Hui, our talents are considered mediocre in the Hidden Fog Sect. Its only through many years of hard work that we managed to arrive at where we are today. Once you become a core disciple, youll be able to receive resources equal to ours without so many years of hard work.

After that, Tang Chun looked at the crowded restaurant and said, The signature dishes of this restaurant arent bad. Every time I come to Skywind City, Id come here to eat. Lets have a meal before we start our journey.

Duan Ling Tian naturally had no objections to this.

When they walked into the restaurant, Tang Chun discovered there were no private rooms left.

Sir, Im really sorry. Its lunchtime so the rooms are all occupied. We only have a few vacant tables left in the common area. Do you want to dine in the common area instead?

Tang Chuns frown eased when he heard the waiters words. He said, Alright. Please arrange a table for both of us.

Please come with me.

The waiter led the duo to a table before he handed them the menu. While they were looking at the menu, he brought a pot of tea and teacups over.

Tang Chun said with a smile, Like I said, their signature dishes are quite good. You should try them.

Duan Ling Tian nodded. Since you highly recommend them, Im sure theyll be tasty. Coincidentally, Im hungry as well.

At this time, a group of people emerged from one of the private rooms. Duan Ling Tian would have recognized a few of the people if he had seen them. One of them was Zhong Ke Qi, the Young Master of the Zhong clan, who was also a Ten Stars student of the Hidden Fog Academy.

Zhong Ke Qi walked in the lead as five people followed behind him. They all looked to be around his age.

One of them said, Young Master Qi, its rare for you to be able to obtain the academys permission to come out and see us. You should stay for a few more days. Theres no need to rush back.

No, Zhong Ke Qi shook his head and said, I only took two days off, and today is the last day. I have to go back. When we meet again, Ill treat all of you to a nice meal.

These people were not from the Zhong clan. There were disciples from small forces under the Zhong clan. They would usually follow Zhong Ke Qi around and flatter him endlessly.

Needless to say, Zhong Ke Qi enjoyed this feeling of superiority.

Young Master Qi, another person asked in a deep voice, Should we think of a way to help you get rid of that jerk Duan Ling Tian who offended you and the Zhong clan? Itd be bad once he joins the Hidden Fog Sect.

Do you think we dont want to kill him? Zhong Ke Qi said angrily as he turned back to glare at the person who had spoken, When do you think well have a chance to kill him if he doesnt leave the Hidden Fog Academy? During the Ten Stars students trial, Yu Qianshan was there so even our clans Kings of Gods couldnt do anything to him.

Zhong Ke Qi had asked to leave the Hidden Fog Academy for a few days because he had been feeling depressed in the academy. Although no one made fun of him for being defeated by Duan Ling Tian and having to give up his prominent-grade courtyard, he still could not let go of his hatred toward Duan Ling Tian. He had taken two days off to relax and also to ask the clan if they had any plans to deal with Duan Ling Tian.

When he learned that the clan was only going to deal with Duan Ling Tian after Duan Ling Tian joined the Hidden Fog Sect, he was in a bad mood. Hence, he invited a few people out to eat with him.

Zhong Ke Qi led the others out, walking through a long corridor before finally arriving at the common area. To leave the restaurant, everyone would have to cross the common area.

Whenever Zhong Ke Qi walked past the restaurants staff members, they would all greet him respectfully and address him as Young Master Zhong. He naturally ignored them and made his way to the exit.

At this time, one of the people standing behind Zhong Ke Qi looked at the crowded restaurant and said, The business is booming in this restaurant. Even the common area is packed.

Zhong Ke Qi instinctively swept his eyes across the common area. However, his gaze was soon fixed to a spot. He had seen a familiar figure who had a prominent feature in his nightmares recently.

Duan Ling Tian? Why isnt he in the academy? Did he ask for leave as well? Zhong Ke Qi thought to himself. Then, he looked at the other person sitting across from Duan Ling Tian, confirming the other person was not a teacher of the Hidden Fog Academy. He thought to himself, Is that person his elder? Did he ask for leave because his elder came to visit him in Skywind City? Is it a coincidence that they came to our clans restaurant?

Zhong Ke Qi inhaled deeply before he turned around and returned to the long corridor he had just left. His actions puzzled the people with him and the staff of the restaurant.

One of them asked, Whats wrong, Young Master Qi?

Shut up! Zhong Ke Qi said coldly.

The other person naturally did not dare to speak again.

When an idea appeared in his mind, Zhong Ke Qi hurriedly sent a few messages through the Soul Pearls in his spatial ring. The recipients of the messages were his father, Zhong Er; the Second Master of the Zhong clan, Zhong Da; his uncle and the Clan Leader of the Zhong clan, and his other two uncles; Zhong San and Zhong Si.

Zhong Da and Zhong Er had both returned to the Zhong clans estate at this time.

When the four brothers learned that Duan Ling Tian was with his elder in the Zhong clans restaurant, killing intent flashed in their eyes.

Zhong Da immediately sent a message to Zhong Si, asking, Zhong Si, are you at the restaurant?

Yes, I am, Zhong Si replied immediately, Im with Ke Qi.

Send your people here to get the Formation compass. We need to seal the restaurant and prevent news from leaking. Well trap Duan Ling Tian and kill him. Is he in the common area? Arrange for him to eat in a private room. After that, set up a Formation to prevent him from leaving and isolate him from the outside world.

Yes, brother, Zhong Si replied respectfully.

Zhong Da then sent a message to Zhong Ke Qi, asking, Ke Qi, are you sure the person with him is his elder, not a teacher of the Hidden Fog Academy?

Zhong Ke Qi replied confidently, Yes! Uncle, Ive been in the academy for almost 2,000 years now. Im familiar with all the teachers at the academy. Im sure Ive never seen the person with him before. Hes definitely not a teacher of the academy!

Alright, Zhong Da said, Ill send your father there now. Tell your fourth uncle to wait until your father arrives before he does anything. Before we set up the Formation, make sure you dont expose your presence or let Duan Ling Tian discover our plan. After killing him, we must destroy his corpses and get rid of everything that might connect his death to us. Without evidence, if someone saw him entering our restaurant, even the dean cant do anything to us. This is a good chance for us. Perhaps, today will be able to get rid of that nuisance.

Zhong Da was very cautious. Based on his words, it was clear he regarded Duan Ling Tian as an enemy as well.

Meanwhile, Zhong Ke Qis eyes lit up when he heard Zhong Das message. Then, he conveyed Zhong Das message to Zhong Si.

After speaking to his staff, Zhong Si learned that Duan Ling Tian and his elder had initially asked for a private room. Hence, he called the young man who waited on the duo earlier over and said, Tell the two guests your served earlier that we have a vacant private room. Tell them that you felt apologetic so you did your best to find them a private room.

Although this excuse was rather shabby, Zhong Si felt that as long as Duan Ling Tian did not know the restaurant belonged to the Zhong clan, Duan Ling Tian would not be suspicious.

As Zhong Si expected, Duan Ling Tian did not think much of it when the waiter told him that there was a private room available.

Even Tang Chun did not find the waiters words suspicious.
