"You’re Ke Er’s Master, so you’re an elder to me," Duan Ling Tian said with a slight smile.
"Ke Er’s taste is very good." Qin Xiang nodded and smiled at Duan Ling Tian. The gaze she shot at him contained the flavor of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. "Ke Er is an orphan, so in the future, I, this Master of hers, will be like her parent… You have to be good to her. If you let me find out that you betrayed her, I will absolutely not forgive you!" As she finished speaking, Qin Xiang’s eyes emitted a wisp of coldness.
The imposing manner of a Void Initiation Stage expert swept at Duan Ling Tian, causing him to instantly feel as if he was in the center of a storm.
"Don’t worry Peak Master, in my eyes, Ke Er is more important than my life," Duan Ling Tian said sincerely.
Qin Xiang nodded, then she left with Elder Bi who was by her side.
Zuo Qing followed them and left.
Zheng Fan looked at Duan Ling Tian and his eyes squinted as he asked curiously. "Kid, two years of time… Are you really confident?"
"Peak Master, if you don’t believe me, we can make a bet… Hmmm, let’s bet 10 million gold. How about it?" Duan Ling Tian’s face revealed a smile that was like a fox.
This caused Zheng Fan to be unable to refrain from becoming vigilant, then he rolled his eyes at Duan Ling Tian. "Kid, you don’t seem like a person who would suffer a loss… Only an idiot would bet with you."
When they saw Duan Ling Tian and Zheng Fan had such a casual relationship, besides Zheng Fan, everyone present was completely stunned.
Most people couldn’t help but suspect in their heart.
Was the middle aged man that stood before their eyes and rolled his eyes at Duan Ling Tian really their Seven Star Sword Sect’s Mizar Peak’s Master?
After Zheng Fan and Zheng Song lefty, Duan Ling Tian brought Ke Er and Li Fei to leave Dubhe Peak and arrived at Megrez Peak.
Everywhere they passed, all the Megrez Peak disciples greeted them respectfully.
Today, Duan Ling Tian’s actions on the peak of Dubhe Peak had once again filled them with admiration.
In the presence of the Sect Leader, he said he didn’t respect the Sect Leader…
Since the establishment of the Seven Star Sword Sect, Duan Ling Tian is probably the first person to be so brave.
"Scoundrel, you still cultivate at Megrez Peak now? Isn’t the cultivation environment on Dubhe Peak much better?" Li Fei asked curiously.
"Little Fei, you’ll know soon." Duan Ling Tian smiled mysteriously, and he held Ke Er and Li Fei with one hand each, then braved the countless fiery and envious gazes to enter Megrez Peak.
"Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian’s luck in romance is truly enviable!"
"Yeah, the two young women by his side are absolutely the most beautiful female disciples I’ve seen in the Seven Star Sword Sect."
"We’re both humans, and are both men… Why is the difference between us so huge?"
…
The words of the crowd of Megrez Peak disciples was filled with extreme envy.
After Duan Ling Tian confirmed that no one was following him, he brought Ke Er and Li Fei along the remote mountain path to ascend the peak of Megrez Peak.
As she gazed at the spacious peak of Megrez Peak, Li Fei asked curiously. "Scoundrel, why did you bring us here?"
The peak of Megrez Peak was covered in mist and clouds that were like a vast expanse of whiteness and nothing could be seen.
"Come." Duan Ling Tian brought Li Fei and Ke Er to the side of the precipice, then lightly smiled as he said, "Ke Er, Little Fei, you two stand here… When we go down in a moment, your movements must be slow, I’ll be looking at the two of you from below."
Below?
Duan Ling Tian’s words caused Ke Er and Li Fei to have perplexed expressions.
In the next moment, their faces went pale.
Because they saw Duan Ling Tian had actually leaped off the precipice…
Their faces went ghastly pale and for a moment, their minds were in chaos, and they almost forgot what Duan Ling Tian had said to them earlier.
"Young Master!" Ke Er stuck her head out and looked down the precipice as she called out, and her voice contained slight trembling within it.
"Alright, you two come down." Suddenly, a voice sounded out from below, causing the gazes of Ke Er and Li Fei to light up, and only now did they realize that Duan Ling Tian wasn’t courting death when he did that earlier.
Duan Ling Tian stood on the tilted tree, and his hand seemed to have transformed into a fan as it started flapping.
For a moment, the clouds and mist above him gradually dispersed.
"This…" Ke Er and Li Fei’s beautiful eyes shone when they saw Duan Ling Tian who stood atop the tilted tree, as they never expected that there was actually such a tilted tree growing at the side of the peak of Megrez Peak.
"Come." Under Duan Ling Tian’s beckoning, Ke Er and Li Fei leaped down successively and descended onto the tilted tree.
Meanwhile, the clouds and mist converged together once again, blocking out the tilted tree.
Now, even if someone were to stick their heads out from the peak of Megrez Peak, they would be unable to notice the tilted tree.
"Scoundrel, what place is this?" As they walked within the cave passageway, Li Fei asked curiously.
"You two will know shortly." Duan Ling Tian beat around the bush, and followed closely behind the two young woman to enter the stalactite cave.
"This is…" As they gazed at the stalactites above the stalactite cave, the two girls were shocked.
"Young Master, these wouldn’t be 10,000 Year Stalactites, right?" Ke Er took a deep breath and asked with slight disbelief.
"Exactly, these are 10,000 Year Stalactites, and it’s here that I found the 10,000 Year Stalactite Milk that both of you drink." Duan Ling Tian nodded, and when he recalled the scene of him discovering this place, he couldn’t help but sigh slightly.
This could be considered his fortuitous encounter as well.
Ke Er and Li Fei came to a sudden understanding.
"Squeak Squeak~" Right at this moment, a clear cry sounded out, and a gold and fluffy little head stuck out from beneath Ke Er’s sleeve.
"Little Gold." When Duan Ling Tian saw the infant Jade-eyed Heavenly Mouse, he couldn’t help but think about the two variant little pythons.
He sighed in his heart. "I wonder how Little Black and Little White are after they left with Han Xue Nai… Hmm, Han Xue Nai dotes on them so much, they’re surely doing great."
Now, Duan Ling Tian had let it go as well.
As far as he was concerned, so long as the two little pythons were doing great and were able to acquire a better future, then even if he was unable to see them again in the future, he would still be happy for them.
"Squeak!" Suddenly, the little gold mouse flashed out from beneath Ke Er’s sleeve and directly pounced onto the wall at the side of the stalactite cave, then it kicked off from the wall and leaped onto the 10,000 Year Stalactite.
Subsequently, a scene that caused Duan Ling Tian’s group of three to be astounded had appeared.
They saw the little gold mouse lay on the 10,000 Year Stalactite then actually start nibbling and eating it….
It only left the 10,000 Year Stalactite in satisfaction when it are to the point its little stomach bulged, then lay motionless at the side of the stalactite cave. Its fluffy body and its currently bulging stomach made it seem chubby, and it was extremely cute.
"Another glutton." Duan Ling Tian was speechless, he glanced at the gap that was nibble out from the 10,000 Year Stalactite, and his heart was pained. "This Little Gold really recklessly destroys natural treasures!"
"Young Master, where’s Little Black and Little White?" Suddenly, Ke Er seemed to have thought of something and she looked at Duan Ling Tian with an expression of anticipation.
"Yeah, Scoundrel, I haven’t seen Little Black and Little White for a very long time…" Li Fei looked at Duan Ling Tian as well.
Duan Ling Tian sighed.
Although he knew that he’d have to face this moment sooner or later, he never imagined it would be so quick.
He didn’t conceal anything when facing the two girls, and he slowly spoke of the entire sequence of events…
"Little Black and Little White have left?" A wisp of mist appeared on Ke Er’s beautiful eyes when she found out about everything, and her pretty face was covered in an expression of reluctance.
She’d seen those two variant little pythons grow up with her own two eyes and she had extremely deep feelings towards them.
Now, when she found out that they’d left, she felt a wave of sorrow in her heart.
"Little Sister Ke Er, we’ll still be able to see Little Black and Little White in the future… Didn’t you hear what Scoundrel said? Little Black and Little White have only followed the demon beast by that mysterious young girl’s side to cultivate, they’re not gone forever." LI Fei consoled Ke Er in a gentle voice.
Although she was slightly sad as well, but is wasn’t as much as Ke Er.
Besides Duan Ling Tian, the two little pythons had always been closest with Ke Er…
Perhaps, it was because when they’d just been born and emerged from their shells, the first thing that entered their eyes was Duan Ling Tian and Ke Er.
They’d taken Duan Ling Tian and Ke Er to be their parents, and their love for them was extraordinary.
"Yeah, Ke Er, Little Fei is right. Little Black and Little White will surely return… Their home is with us." Although Duan Ling Tian wasn’t confident in his heart, he still persuaded Ke Er as he was able to understand Ke Er’s current feelings.
That day, when Little Black and Little White had just left, he had this exact same feeling.
It was as if a piece of his heart was sliced off.
That sort of feeling was extremely painful.
"Squeak squeak~" Seeming to have perceived Ke Er’s sense of loss, the little gold mouse that was originally laying on the ground lazily cried out twice, then it leaped up once again to descend onto Ke Er’s shoulder, and it’s little head rubbed Ke Er’s face as it consoled Ke Er like a human.
"Little Gold, I’m fine." Ke Er held the little gold mouse in her hand and lightly smiled.
"Squeak squeak~" The little gold mouse nodded, and its pair of jade eyes flickered with a joyous sheen.
"Little Gold’s cultivation…" Earlier, Duan Ling Tian didn’t intentionally use his Spiritual Force to inspect the cultivation of the little gold mouse, but now when he slightly inspected it, he instead was clearly able to gain insight of the little gold mouse’s strength.
The little gold mouse had actually broken through to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage!
He still remembered that the little gold mouse seemed to only be at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage one year ago…
Looks like the 10,000 Year Stalactite Milk allowed the Little Gold to achieve rebirth as well.
Presently, the natural talent and potential of the little gold mouse as a Jade-eyed Heavenly Mouse ought to have already been developed to the limit.
"Even if Little Gold didn’t consume the 10,000 Year Stalactite Milk, with the bloodline within its body, it would attain the cultivation of Demon Emperor sooner or later… Now, after it has consumed the 10,000 Year Stalactite Milk, I wonder what sort of changes will occur." Duan Ling Tian thought in his heart and he was filled with anticipation. "Little Gold’s current strength is obviously only a step away from the Half-step Void Stage… It won’t be long before it’s able to break through once again!"
What would happen after a Jade-eyed Heavenly Mouse consumed large quantities of 10,000 Year Stalactite Milk was something that even the memories of the Rebirth Martial Emperor contained no records of.
Three days later.
According to the voice transmission the Sect Leader, Linghu Jin Hong, sent him that day, Duan Ling Tian left the stalactite cave of Megrez Peak and headed to Dubhe Hall on Dubhe Peak.
Dubhe Hall was precisely the cultivation location of the Seven Star Sword Sect’s Sect Leader.
"I wonder why the Sect Leader would ask me to come see him today." Duan Ling Tian thought in his heart and he was filled with bewilderment.
He knew nothing of the purpose Linghu Jin Hong called him here today.
