Chapter 4414 - 4414 Straight to the Point

4414 Straight to the Point

In the elegant and quiet courtyard, where the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and the stream was constantly flowing.

Duan Ling Tian, who was wearing a purple robe as usual, crouched down by the stream and reached out to pick up a small fish that had washed up the bank before he returned it to the stream. He looked at the little fish he released and murmured, “Little one, be careful of where you go. If you swim in the wrong place, you might meet your own demise…”

A dazed expression could be seen on his face at this moment. He was a stranger in the foreign Outer Boundary. It was far away from the God Defying World, and there were tens of thousands of places connected to the Outer Boundary, including the God Defying World.

At this moment, a woman’s voice rang from behind him.

“Young Master Li Feng, the clan leader has brought Miss Luo Yu over.”

Duan Ling Tian rose to his feet and turned around to look outside the courtyard.

Wang Kui, the Clan Leader of the Wang clan, walked in with two people behind him, an old man and a beautiful young woman.

With just a glance, Duan Ling Tian sighed inwardly. ‘As expected of the number one beauty in Blue Dawn City. She’s indeed quite beautiful.’

Wang Luo Yu did not resemble Wang Yi Yuan at all. If Duan Ling Tian were unaware that the duo was siblings, he would not have believed the beautiful young woman was Wang Yi Yuan’s sister. It was not that Wang Yi Yuan was not good-looking, it was just that they did not share any similarities in their appearances at all.

Wang Kui chuckled and greeted Duan Ling Tian enthusiastically as soon as he walked into the courtyard. He said, “Young Master Li Feng, you must have been waiting for a long time.”

Wang Ming and Wang Luo Yu followed behind Wang Kui.

Wang Ming took the initiative to greet Duan Ling Tian. “Greetings. I’m Wang Ming, an elder of the Wang clan. This is Wang Luo Yu, a member of my faction.”

From Wang Ming’s greeting, Duan Ling Tian found out that Wang Ming was the leader of the faction that Wang Yi Yuan and Wang Luo Yu belonged to.

“Clan Leader Wang, Elder Wang,” Duan Ling Tian responded with a slight smile before he turned to look at Wang Luo Yu with a dazed expression on his face. After that, it seemed as though he did not hear what Wang Kui said at all.

Upon seeing this, Wang Kui was not upset. He only smiled before he gestured to Wang Ming and the servants in the courtyard to leave, leaving Duan Ling Tian and Wang Luo Yu alone in the courtyard. In his opinion, what Duan Ling Tian wanted most now was to be alone with Wang Luo Yu.

After leaving, Wang Kui frowned slightly as he looked at Wang Ming and said, “Brother Wang Ming, Li Feng is not only good-looking, but he’s highly talented as well. It’s not a shame for Luo Yu to marry him. Put away the frown on your face.”

Wang Kui had long noticed the stiff expression on Wang Ming’s face.

Wang Ming smiled wryly and said, “Clan leader, it’s Luo Yu’s blessing if she’s able to marry Young Master Li Feng. I was only frowning because I’m worried he’ll get tired of her in the future and abandon her. She lost her parents at a young age, and she only had Yi Yuan… But now, Yi Yuan…”

Wang Ming did not finish his words; he only sighed and shook his head.

Wang Kui’s frown eased slightly upon hearing this. He said, “No one was happy about what happened to Yi Yuan. After all, the two Supreme Elders had high hopes of him becoming a supreme powerhouse in the future. Among the younger generation, they think he had the highest potential.”

As the Clan Leader of the Wang clan, Wang Kui was naturally distressed when something happened to Wang Yi Yuan. Wang Yi Yuan was an outstanding prodigy in the history of the Wang clan even if Wang Yi Yuan could not compare to the monstrous prodigy ‘Li Feng’. Wang Yi Yuan could be considered a rare prodigy even in the Divine Sand Realm.

…

Due to the noise-canceling Formation in the courtyard, Duan Ling Tian did not hear the conversation between Wang Kui and Wang Ming.

Similarly, Wang Luo Yu did not hear the conversation either.

After confirming that Wang Kui and the others had left and were not looking at them, the dazed expression on Duan Ling Tian’s face disappeared immediately and was replaced with an expression of indifference. He said, “Please have a seat.”

Duan Ling Tian walked to the stone table and took a seat after inviting Wang Luo Yu to take a seat.

At this time, Wang Luo Yu was slightly confused. She had seen the dazed expression on Duan Ling Tian’s face earlier when he looked at her, and it caused her heart to skip a beat. Then, his attitude changed abruptly, leaving her baffled.

Wang Luo Yu walked over, but she did not dare to sit down. Instead, she stood in front of the stone table and asked with her head lowered, “Li… Young Master Li Feng, what are your orders?”

“Sit down,” Duan Ling Tian said again. This time, his voice was slightly louder, and it sounded a little more commanding.

Seeing that Wang Luo Yu was trembling in fright and still did not sit down, Duan Ling Tian shook his head helplessly and said, “Sit down. I’m a friend of your brother, Wang Yi Yuan.”

“My brother’s friend?” Wang Luo Yu looked up at Duan Ling Tian in disbelief. She said, “I… I’ve never heard of you, and my brother had never mentioned you. I know all of my brother’s friends…”

Despite her words, Wang Luo Yu felt that Duan Ling Tian had no reason to lie to her due to his high status unless he was using this as an excuse to get closer to her. However, that was not necessary as well since the Wang clan would not allow her to refuse this marriage.

“I met your brother shortly before he passed away,” Duan Ling Tian said.

Wang Luo Yu’s expression changed immediately. Then, she mustered up her courage to ask Duan Ling Tian, “Young Master Li Feng… You… Do you know how my brother died?”

Wang Luo Yu had lost her composure at this moment.

“Sit down, and we’ll talk.”

Wang Luo Yu finally took a seat. She asked anxiously, “Young Master Li Feng, do… do you know?”

Wang Luo Yu knew nothing about the circumstances regarding her brother’s death. Even the Wang clan did not know anything.

“I do.”

Wang Luo Yu’s eyes brightened upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, and at the same time, she grew even more anxious.

Duan Ling Tian recounted how he met Wang Yi Yuan and the situation they were in honestly.

When Wang Luo Yu found out that her brother died due to a supreme powerhouse’s scheme, apart from helplessness, she also felt indignant and aggrieved. Once again, she grieved for her brother. Her hands were tightly clenched, and she bit her lip hard until it bled. Clearly, she had lost her composure and was agitated.

“I came this time to fulfill your brother’s final wish. He wanted me to bring you away from the Wang clan so you won’t be used as a tool by the clan. My real name is Duan Ling Tian, not Li Feng. I naturally didn’t reveal my name and purpose to the others. Otherwise, it’ll be difficult to bring you away,” Duan Ling Tian said without beating around the bush. He thought it was best to be straightforward so Wang Luo Yu would not resist him.

“D-do you… Do you have evidence proving you know my brother? You said earlier that he gave you his spatial ring, right?” Wang Luo Yu asked, seeking one final confirmation. When she saw the spatial ring that Duan Ling Tian brought out, all her doubts vanished. Since her brother gave up his ownership of the ring to Duan Ling Tian, it showed that her brother trusted Duan Ling Tian, and she believed in her brother’s judgment.

After confirming Duan Ling Tian was not lying, she asked in a slightly trembling voice, unable to hold back her tears, “Brother Duan, my brother… Was he in a lot of pain before he died?”
