There are some things that Duan Lingtian cannot control.
Take what Linghu Renjie did for him as an example. He didn't know that the three years he spent in the secret room of the Linghu family caused so much loss to the Linghu family, and it was enough to affect Linghu Renjie's position as the head of the family.
If he had known, he certainly wouldn't have stayed in there.
Even if Linghu Renjie told him, he would understand and would not drag Linghu Renjie down.
But the problem is:
From the beginning to the end, Linghu Renjie never told him about his difficulties!
This kind of favor, for a person who is unsympathetic and unjust, might think that Linghu Renjie is just being sentimental, but Duan Lingtian cannot do that.
He accepts this love.
That's why he made a century-old agreement with the Linghu Family Elders' Association.
"Within a hundred years, at any cost, I will let him return to his position as master."
Duan Lingtian's eyes were firmer than ever before.
After a moment, he came back to his senses under Xue Haichuan's doubtful eyes, because Xue Haichuan didn't know what he was thinking and why he was distracted.
However, Xue Haichuan didn't ask any more questions, and the topic turned back to the internal sect disciples' entrance examination that appeared in the mirror image in front of him.
"Xiaotian, your opponents this time should be these people."
Xue Haichuan's name for Duan Lingtian also changed as the friendship between the two further deepened.
Now, the people Xue Haichuan is pointing at are Du Pojun, the core disciple of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, Hua Tiandu, the young master of the Donghua Sect, and Ouyang Jianchen, the third young master of the Ouyang family.
"This woman is pretty good."
From beginning to end, few people surprised Xue Haichuan, but in the end, his eyes were attracted by a woman.
Duan Lingtian looked over and recognized the other person at a glance, "This woman, from what they said, seems to be the seventh disciple of the Master of the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley of the Divine Net Zong Sect, and is known as the 'Seventh Girl'."
"Ten Thousand Flowers Valley?"
Duan Lingtian just said it casually, never expecting that after hearing his words, Xue Haichuan's originally calm expression suddenly fell into a daze.
It was as if he remembered something.
"What? Brother Haichuan, are you still old with Wanhua Valley?"
Duan Lingtian saw some clues.
Xue Haichuan came back to his senses, shook his head and sighed, "I used to have a friend, who was from the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers... But I haven't seen him for a long time."
When he finished speaking, Xue Haichuan's eyes fell on the seventh girl of Wanhua Valley again and became much softer, "It looks like... so similar..."
Although Xue Haichuan's voice was deliberately lowered, Duan Lingtian could still hear it clearly.
It seems that this brother Haichuan has a close relationship with Wanhua Valley.
Next, Xue Haichuan's mood seemed to be a little low, and Duan Lingtian didn't say anything, but quietly watched the progress of the inner sect disciples' entrance examination.
After passing through the assessments and screenings one after another, many people were eliminated one after another.
From the beginning to the end, Xue Haichuan's attention was focused on the disciple of Wanhua Valley named 'Seven Girls'. Duan Lingtian couldn't help but doubt that this Brother Haichuan was not the same as these Seven Girls. Does the girl have an affair with someone?
What is certain is that Xue Haichuan must have seen this seventh girl for the first time.
And the reason for that suspicion is because Xue Haichuan has said things like 'It's so similar' many times.
With the passage of time, the entrance examination for inner sect disciples ended in due course.
Hou Qingning and Murong Yinyue, under the care of Dongfang Yannian intentionally or unintentionally, successfully passed the examination and became inner sect disciples of Tianlong Sect.
"it's over."
When the inner sect disciples' entrance examination ended, the mirror image disappeared, and only then did Xue Haichuan come back to his senses.
Duan Lingtian discovered that at this moment, a tiny tear trail appeared in the corner of Xue Haichuan's eyes, but it was evaporated by divine power in the blink of an eye.
If it weren't for Duan Lingtian's sharp eyes, he wouldn't have noticed it.
This also made Duan Lingtian more and more convinced that Xue Haichuan had a story with someone from the seventh girl, and the other person was probably a woman, and even looked very similar to the seventh girl!
"However, these seven girls are wearing veils...what Brother Haichuan said is similar to the body shape, as well as the exposed eyes, forehead and bridge of the nose."
Duan Lingtian said secretly.
"Xiao Tian."
Xue Haichuan didn't know what Duan Lingtian was thinking. Seeing that the inner sect disciples' entrance examination was over, he looked at Duan Lingtian and said with a smile: "I want to guard my eldest brother, so I won't go with you to the next Qianlong Competition. It’s live.”
"However, I will use the formation mirror to observe remotely."
"Strive to win the first place... The reward of the first place, even now, I am excited about it."
Speaking of it later, Xue Haichuan looked at Duan Lingtian again, and his eyes were a little more profound.
When Duan Lingtian heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up. He naturally knew that Xue Haichuan was not an innocent target. He had said so. In addition to the Emperor's Divine Pill, the first place in the Hidden Dragon Competition must have other talents. secular rewards.
"I'll try."
Duan Lingtian smiled modestly.
"And one more thing……"
Suddenly, Xue Haichuan seemed to have remembered something, and looked at Duan Lingtian, his face slightly serious, "If you meet the seventh girl from the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley in the Qianlong Competition... you have the upper hand, but she is unwilling to admit defeat. If so, I hope you can be merciful."
After he finished speaking, he added, "If I guessed correctly...she should be my old friend Queen."
After an old friend.
Xue Haichuan's words further verified Duan Lingtian's conjecture, and Duan Lingtian naturally agreed to Xue Haichuan's request.
For him, it was just a piece of cake.
"You can chat with me for a while here. Brother Dongfang will come over later, and he will take you, the newly promoted inner sect disciples, to your temporary residence in the Yanlong Mountains."
Xue Haichuan's training place is not in the Yanlong Mountains, but in another mountain range adjacent to the Yanlong Mountains.
However, the two are very close to each other, not even far away from the intersection of the two mountains.
About half an hour later, Dongfang Yan came.
Under Xue Haichuan's deliberate promotion, the relationship between Duan Lingtian and Dongfang Yannian became much closer after some small talk.
Dongfang Yannian also called Duan Lingtian 'Xiaotian', while Duan Lingtian called him 'Brother Yannian'.
Originally, Duan Lingtian called him 'Brother Dongfang', but he thought this title was too unfamiliar and insisted on calling him like Xue Haichuan.
Duan Lingtian also really didn't expect that this majestic Elder Bailong of Tianlong Sect, the leader among the middle god emperors, would have such a childlike mind.
However, after some small talk, Dongfang Yannian's willfulness and casualness made Duan Lingtian feel very comfortable and further recognized this person.
About a few hours later, when it was getting dark, Duan Lingcai and Dongfang Yannian left Xue Haichuan's training place and went to the temporary residence of the newly promoted inner sect disciples in the Yanlong Mountains.
The temporary residence of the newly promoted inner sect disciples is located in a valley, and there are some buildings on the mountainside around the valley. The senior officials of the major god-king-level forces, as well as some elders of the newly promoted inner sect disciples, all live there temporarily.
The Qianlong Competition needs to wait until three days before starting.
"Xiaotian, let's meet again in three days."
Dongfang Yannian sent Duan Lingtian all the way to the sky above the valley and said goodbye to Duan Lingtian with a smile.
"good."
Duan Lingtian responded.
When Dongfang Yannian left, Duan Lingtian could detect a lot of glances coming from below. They were some newly promoted inner sect disciples and some high-level officials of the God-Emperor level forces.
"Duan Lingtian."
Under Duan Lingtian's gaze, Hou Qingning jumped into the air and was at his side in a blink of an eye, "Have you known that Elder Dongfang for a long time? Why do I feel so familiar with you?"
Hou Qingning's eyes were full of curiosity.
"Brother Yannian is a friend of Brother Haichuan. Today you are conducting the internal sect disciple entrance examination, and I am with Brother Haichuan."
Duan Lingtian said with a smile: "When you went to go through the procedures for the inner sect disciples to join the sect, until just now, he was with me and Brother Haichuan."
"So that's it."
Hou Qingning suddenly realized that in the past chats, he also knew that Duan Lingtian and Xue Haichuan knew each other, and that Duan Lingtian and Xue Haichuan had a good relationship.
Hou Qingning quickly changed the topic and sighed: "Today's assessment was really dangerous. I almost failed the last assessment."
“However, fortunately, I got lucky in the end and passed successfully.”
When Hou Qingning talked about it later, his tone seemed to be somewhat proud.
Seeing this, Duan Lingtian just smiled and congratulated him, but did not tell him that Xue Haichuan asked Dongfang Yannian to help him and Murong Yinyue to make the assessment less difficult.
In Duan Lingtian's view, these are just trivial matters and there is no need to mention them.
There is no need to worry about these things among friends.
…
While Duan Lingtian and other newly promoted inner sect disciples were settling in their temporary residence in the Yanlong Mountains, the inner sect elder Kuang Tianzheng, who was also in the Tianlong Sect's residence, also learned about what Duan Lingtian had done in the audition today.
"That little beast actually broke through and became the middle-level God King?"
Kuang Tianzheng's face could be as ugly as it was. If his second disciple, who was no longer what he was before, was right in front of him, he would have been unable to help but smash the stone table in front of him.
At this moment, Kuang Tian was sitting in front of a stone table in a courtyard, and opposite the stone table, there was a young man wearing a green robe sitting.
The young man is tall and strong, with a stern appearance, heroic eyebrows and sharp sword eyebrows, giving people a strong and decisive feeling.
And he was none other than Zhong Can, the second disciple of Kuang Tian's main sect.
He is also the son-in-law of the deputy sect leader Xue of the Tianlong Sect.
"Back then, if Han'er had died instead of Han'er...if Han'er had received that fate, it would be Han'er who is dazzling now, not him!"
In Kuang Tianzheng's eyes, anger and hatred were mixed together, and he was extremely violent.
"Can'er, you shouldn't have forgotten... Han'er, I treated you like my brother in the past, right?"
Kuang Tianzheng's eyes softened slightly, he looked directly at Zhong Can in front of him, and asked in a suppressed voice.
