The scorching summer sky was naturally blue. Blue was thoroughly blue, and blue was transparent. The water in the mountains was naturally clear, completely clear.

Ding Hong was squatting by the river, using the river to wash his face. He didn't know if he was tired, or if he just washed off his scary experience. Only then did he stop. He stood up and panted as he spoke to his grandfather beside him, "Grandfather, do you know how dangerous it was today? If it wasn't for me turning around and dodging, I would have …"

With a "peng" sound, Ding Tian Chou kicked Ding Hong's butt, pulling his ear and roaring, "Bastard, do you know how dangerous today is! If it wasn't for the fact that Wang Yu and the others returned in time, I would have asked about your whereabouts. Otherwise, wouldn't you have gone to see your parents today? "

Ding Tian raised his hand as if he wanted to slap Ding Hong. Watching the situation, Ding Hong could also close his eyes and wait for his grandfather's slap to land. But after a long time, there was no reaction at all. He let out a light sound of surprise and squinted his eyes as he looked over. He saw Ding Tiancheng's hand swaying in the air, but it didn't fall down for a long time.

Ding Tiancheng could not bear it any longer. His face twisted but he still put his hand down and sighed, "Bastard, the reason I called you here today is to tell you. Today, we will leave the stronghold and go to Qi City."

Ding Hong was stunned. "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? When are you coming back?"

Ding Tian looked at him and suddenly laughed, "We will never come back!"

"What!" Ding Hong was surprised and said, "Why? Aren't we living a pretty good life? Didn't they agree to let you use that giant python to pay off your debt? Why should we leave? "

Ding Tian Chou turned around and looked at the other side of the river. He did not say anything for a long time.

Ding Hong looked at his grandfather and suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity. It was a type of feeling that was completely emitted from the soul. That humorous and unfussy grandfather of before seemed to have already left?

Ding Hong silently looked at him. After a long time, he said, "Grandfather …"

"Hong'er." Ding Tian Chou suddenly interrupted him.

Ding Hong was stunned and replied, "Huh?"

Ding Tian turned his head to look at Ding Hong. Ding Hong felt that there was a hidden gloom in his eyes, colder than that giant python, colder than the nine layers of frozen rocks. Ding Hong's body trembled as he retreated uncontrollably. He cried out in alarm, "Grandfather …"

Ding Tian Chou suddenly started laughing loudly and arrogantly, as if he no longer cared about God. He said to Ding Hong, "Hong, do you remember when we came here?"

Ding Hong looked at his grandfather and suddenly had a feeling of not daring to resist. He replied, "Nine years."

Ding Tian Chou asked again, "How old are you this year?"

"Fifteen." Although Ding Hong did not know the meaning behind Ding Tiancheng's words, he was, after all, not young at all. He instinctively felt that Ding Tiancheng was plotting something.

Ding Tian Chou laughed, "That's right. Including today, it has already been exactly nine years! Nine was the limit, and nine was the limit of the Art of Life! The person who exterminated my entire clan back then is now at the very end of fortune, and the power of decline is unstoppable. As long as we can use that ancestral heirloom, we will definitely be able to exact revenge for the clan's murder nine years ago! "

"What!" He suddenly thought back to nine years ago, when his home could be considered to be very big. At that time, there were countless pavilions and attics, but that night, there was a fire in many places, a large group of people wearing night clothes came in from the outside and killed anyone they saw. Then Ding Tiancheng rushed out from inside, carrying him without even looking back …

Ding Hong regained his senses and when he thought of that scene, he could only feel his blood boiling. He immediately said, "Grandfather, just who was it that wanted to exterminate our entire clan? We must have our revenge! " Ding Hong revealed a resolute expression.

This was something he had learned from books and relationships.

He would take revenge! What's more, it was a hatred born from the annihilation of his entire clan!

Ding Tian Chou nodded and revealed a satisfied expression, "I had thought that the nine years of peaceful life would have made you forget this shame. I thought it would be good to remember, just remember …" After pausing for a moment, he continued, "I don't really care about a mere python's money. Our family's wealth is comparable to that of a nation! What did he care about the small amount of money! I have already written a letter in the house. I was prepared to leave the moment you returned, but who would have known that such a thing would happen! "

Ding Hong thought for a moment, then said, "But do we really not talk about the people inside the stronghold? After all, we've lived together for nine years! " Ding Hong unconsciously thought of his playmates in the academy, his neighbors, and those two detestable tricksters! Now that he was leaving, he couldn't even say goodbye. How could he describe the feeling in his heart?

Ding Tian Chou looked at Ding Hong in a daze and sighed. He did not say much. After all, he was only a teenager. He was not over a hundred years old and could not feel that relieved.

After a while, Ding Hong's spirit was lifted. He looked at the stronghold in the distance and suddenly burst into laughter. He said to himself, "One day, I will come back to visit!" All of a sudden, Ding Hong became very interested in the former Qi City. Although the former Qi was not very far from the former Qi City, it was not easy to pass through the rugged mountain roads and wild beasts in the middle of the city. Even if they wanted to go to the former Qi City, they would have to go with a few people. No matter what, he had to get a feel for himself this time!

Ding Hong thought of this and cheered. He pulled Ding Tiancheng's hand and ran forward.

Ding Tian Chou smiled, "Don't worry, we won't take this road this time."

"Hmm?" Ding Hong was stunned and asked, "Then how do we leave?"

Ding Tiancheng laughed, "Just come with me."

Ding Hong nodded and followed him with a strange feeling. After walking for the time it took to make a cup of tea, Ding Tiancheng turned a few rounds and finally arrived at a small mountain peak. At the peak of the mountain, there was a brawny man and a gigantic wooden kite!

As soon as the sturdy man saw Ding Tian Chou had arrived, he hastily walked in. He bowed and said, "Master, everything is ready. We are waiting for you!"

Ding Tian said, "Alright, we will head to the front now!" He turned around and smiled, "Hong'er, have you seen this before?"

Ding Hong looked at Mu Yuan and exclaimed, "Could it be the male loser Mu Yuan described in the book? Can this thing really fly? "

The brawny man looked at him and respectfully bowed. He smiled: "Won't we know if we can fly after young master sits on top of it?"

Ding Tian Chou laughed and said, "Second brother, let's go." With that, the three of them climbed onto the wooden kite.

Soon after, under the control of the brawny man, Ding Hong only felt a gust of wind pull up the kite. It was as if the clouds in the sky had grown closer to him.

"This …" Although Ding Hong had often seen this description of flying high in the sky in books, when he truly felt it, it was a completely different feeling.

Suddenly, Ding Hong thought: If the immortal in the book, riding his magical equipment to soar in the sky, how cool is that?

Unknowingly, Ding Hong suddenly had an inexplicable yearning for the path of immortals.

Ding Tian Chou looked at Ding Hong and thought that he had never experienced such a feeling before. He only smiled and ignored Ding Hong.

After the time it takes to make a cup of tea, Ding Hong probably saw a very large canyon. Although it was called a gorge, it was somewhat ambiguous because that gorge was located on top of a very high, barren mountain. With such a heavenly risk, it was no wonder that in the thousands of years of her existence, no one had ever dared to trespass into the wild!

The sturdy man suddenly said: "Master, Young Master. Let's stop at the front of the roof. " As he said that, he pointed to a stage on the north side of the building.

Ding Tianchen nodded his head in agreement.

As for Ding Hong, he suddenly felt disbelief in his heart. He, who had been an ordinary person for ten years, had now become a young master. Who would believe that?

What, exactly, would happen?

As the stage got closer, Ding Hong's heart unconsciously trembled.

Previous Qi, previous Qi, ownerless city, previous Qi!

When the kite landed, there were already three people waiting there. Upon seeing Ding Tiancheng and the others come down, they all bowed and called out "Master" and "Young Master". Among them, there was even a young girl who was in her prime. Her voice was clear and melodious like a skylark, causing Ding Hong's body to tremble. But having said that, Ding Hong did not like this kind of formation in his heart. His grandfather had changed so much in just a short half day that Ding Hong could not believe it. As he thought about it, he couldn't help but frown.

This expression caused the beautiful young girl to be slightly surprised, but she didn't know what was bothering her.

Ding Tian Chou looked at the three of them and nodded. He then looked at the girl and said, "Bai Yu, take Hong'er out for a walk and let him get used to the environment. He turned around and said to the sturdy man, "Second Bro, contact Shadowless, Third and Fourth Bro."

The muscular man bowed and said, "Understood, master."

Ding Tian Chou turned to Ding Hong and said, "Hong'er, for Bai Yu to follow you in the next few days, it's about time to tell you something! Alright, I'll be leaving first! " He then pointed at the girl and left with the sturdy man and two other people without waiting for Ding Hong's agreement.

Immediately, only Ding Hong and the girl Bai Yu were left on the Heaven's Altar.

"Ding Hong looked around and couldn't help but touch his chin." Young Master, what are you thinking about? " It was the young girl, Bai Yu, who was puzzled by Ding Hong's wrinkled brow. She couldn't help but ask.

"Oh?" Ding Hong finally reacted and saw Bai Yu's pair of bright eyes looking at him. His heart rippled and he couldn't help but think: No wonder the little beauty always said that being a hero makes one feel sad. He composed himself and replied, "Nothing. Oh right, let me ask you, when did you meet my grandfather? "

Bai Yu smiled, "It's already very early. It might be seven or eight years."

"…" Ding Hong gawked and then coughed dryly a few times. He then asked, "Then, my grandfather …"

"Young Master." Bai Yu suddenly interrupted him and pouted. "You won't just stand here and ask me, will you?"

Ding Hong was stunned and asked, "Then how do I ask you?"

Bai Yu rolled his eyes and smiled, revealing two cute dimples. "We can go to the 'Immortal Pavilion' and order some delicious food. We can talk while sitting down."

Ding Hong could not help but touch his chin. With a calm face, he said, "This method is very good …" Suddenly, he spread out his hands and helplessly said, "It's a pity that I don't have any money."

Bai Yu was startled, then giggled, and said: "My young master, you are in need of money, who would believe that? "Who would believe that a dignified young master of the Dark Market wouldn't have money?" Bai Yu was laughing so hard that he almost couldn't catch his breath, as if he'd thought of some huge joke.

Ding Hong was truly helpless this time. He said, "Since you said I'm so rich, can I not come to the Immortal pavilion to borrow money and have my grandfather pay?"

Bai Yu covered his mouth and laughed, as if he couldn't stop himself. He said, "Of course, other ordinary people don't know. How could the manager not know how rich the only young master in the Ding Clan is?"

Ding Hong touched his chin and did not say anything else. He moved aside and said helplessly, "Lead the way!" Bai Yu was naturally happy to be on this trip.

Walking down the stone steps, Ding Hong saw many people wearing clothes unique to their families. When they were in the village, there would often be some aristocratic children in Qi City coming to discuss some matters … Hm? Could it be that those people were just here to contact my grandfather? For some reason, Ding Hong suddenly felt that all of this seemed to have been planned for a long time.

At this moment, a few muscular men wearing embroidered clothes and carved on top of the ring surrounded them and blocked the path of Ding Hong and Bai Yu.

Ding Hong had originally wanted Bai Yu to lead the way, so he should have walked at the back. Moreover, Ding Hong had long since taken the etiquette for granted and didn't want to be the first or second place. Even though he didn't care, it didn't mean that others didn't care.

One of the servants with a red scarf on his left hand seemed to have a higher position. He then said, "Miss Bai, when my young master Zhou was passing by, he just happened to see Miss Bai. I would like to invite Miss Bai to give him a cup of tea." After which, he pointed upwards.

Ding Hong also followed the direction of his finger and looked over. Coincidentally, there was a well-dressed young man holding a teacup at the railing of the third floor. He was smiling as he looked at Bai Yu. When he saw Ding Hong looking at him, he frowned and replied with a contemptuous gaze. Young Master Zhou, seeing that the servant had finished speaking, smiled and said: "Miss Bai, since the weather is so clear today, your family must have taken care of everything. Since there isn't anything important, why don't you come up and have a taste of some tea and talk about the latest interesting news in the former Qi City?"

Bai Yu saw that the master and servant duo were singing together, but he didn't say anything. He only smiled at them and suddenly moved to the side, appearing behind Ding Hong. His speed was so fast that even Ding Hong could only feel a whiff of fragrance. He could not help but praise his movement technique.

Young Master Zhou was stunned when he saw her words. He asked, "Why did Miss Bai hide behind this servant?"

Bai Yu did not care about him. His face had already turned cold and he no longer had that gentle and beautiful smile from before. He turned to Ding Hong and said, "Young Master, let's go."

Ding Hong looked at the two of them and shrugged his shoulders. He thought to himself, "Those words that grandfather said to me by the river and the things that he prepared all these years, his status is naturally not low. Why should I be weak?" Without even looking at Young Master Zhou, he took a big step forward and prepared to leave.

When young master Zhou saw this, his complexion changed. Bai Yu calling him Young Master really scared him to death. Who was Bai Yu? Bai Yu was the daughter of the former head of the business in Qi City, how could she call him Young Master so easily? She must be bluffing, yes, she must be! Having made up his mind, Young Master Zhou laughed and leaped down from the third floor. However, from the looks of it, he wanted to step on Ding Hong's head.

Ding Hong was stunned for a moment and then immediately understood his intentions. Although he praised this Young Master Zhou's martial arts, he was still underestimating him.

With a cold snort, he pulled back his hand and forcefully grabbed the young master Zhou who had jumped down from the second floor, ready to throw him to the ground.

Young Master Zhou cried out in surprise. He felt a huge force grabbing him, so he quickly turned his body and struggled out of Ding Hong's grasp. With a few turns, he shakily landed on the ground. When the servants who followed them saw that their master was at a disadvantage, they called him "Protect the Young Master" or "Protect the Young Master" as a raider. None of them hurried to protect Young Master Zhou, fearing that others might say they were disloyal if they were slow in their actions.

On the side, there were naturally some young masters from aristocratic families who were all staring at the scene with anticipation. Not far in front of them was a bustling and prosperous city. There was quite a bit of activity here that caused all the merchants and commoners who passed by to stop and watch. Instantly, a sea of people gathered.

Bai Yu could not bear to watch any longer and sighed. He thought about how the other young masters all reported their own families whenever they met a conflict. How could they be like this young master from their own clan? He could only helplessly say, "My good young master, why didn't you tell them who you were?"

Ding Hong stroked his chin, as if his chin was exceptionally smooth today. "Useful?" Yin asked.

Bai Yu chuckled, "Of course!"

These words immediately caused the faces of Master Zhou and the other rich kids to change. They looked at each other and showed an expression of disbelief. They then turned to look at Ding Hong. It was as if Ding Hong was the sun and moon of this world.

Looking at the expressions of the people around him, Ding Hong's heart skipped a beat. The corners of his mouth curled up as he smiled and said, "I, I am naturally young master!"
