The elegant and tranquil courtyard is like a picture scroll.
In this painting, a well-proportioned middle-aged man wearing a green-brown robe is sitting cross-legged in the air. He has a handsome appearance and long light gray hair, which seems to be different from ordinary people.
The most conspicuous thing is his aquiline nose, which is particularly recognizable.
"Owner."
"Uncle Sikong."
The old man, Ding Yan, saluted the middle-aged man almost at the same time.
After the two of them, Xue Haichuan and Xue Haishan, who followed Xue Haichuan, also bowed their hands to the middle-aged man and saluted, "I have seen Sikong worship!"
"I've met Senior Sikong."
Duan Lingtian finally came to his senses and saluted repeatedly, with a bit of surprise in his eyes.
He had met Sikong Yue.
But Sikong Yue seems to look different from Sikong Zongfang, at least at first glance there is no resemblance.
However, after Duan Lingtian took a closer look, he finally saw the similarities between the two. First, their lips, and then their ears, were quite similar.
However, the facial features occupied by these two parts are not obvious and cannot be seen at first glance.
The middle-aged man, who was the worshiper of the Tianlong Sect, 'Sikong Ye', opened his eyes unhurriedly a moment after Duan Lingtian finished speaking.
And his eyes were different from those of ordinary people. They were grey-brown. In Duan Lingtian's previous life, Earth China, they looked more like he was wearing a layer of contact lenses.
"Elder Xue Haichuan, I have heard of his name for a long time."
Sikong Ye's eyes fell on Xue Haichuan, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Long Qingchong, that kid, mentioned you in front of me all the time, thinking that you are compared to the other two youngest Bai Long elders. Elder Long has a better chance of entering the realm of the God Emperor."
As soon as Sikong Ye opened his mouth, he did not hesitate to praise Xue Haichuan.
Xue Haichuan, after being stunned for a moment, said continuously: "Sikong worships Muzan, but Haichuan does not dare to accept it... Haichuan is self-aware of himself, and it is not that simple to become a god emperor."
"Compared to me, you are still a young man. Young people should be energetic, and don't be as old-fashioned as the old people like us."
Sikong Ye shook his head, stood up, and fell into the air.
After he landed, he looked straight at Xue Haichuan, "This time the Imperial War Plane is opened. For those god kings, they can get many 'whetstones', and the same is true for you."
"I've heard about you, but I really don't think you need to limit your own path for the sake of your brother."
"At least, I don't think your brother wants that either."
Having said this, Sikong Ye looked at Xue Haishan aside, "In the future, if Xue Haichuan goes to the Imperial War Plane, you can also come to me."
"Of the six houses around me, three are still vacant. I will leave one for Duan Lingtian and one for you."
Sikong Ye said.
"Thank you Sikong for your worship!"
Xue Haishan thanked him repeatedly.
"Ding Yan, thank you."
At this time, Duan Lingtian also thanked Ding Yan, but Ding Yan looked confused, "What are you thanking me for?"
"Didn't you ask Sikong to worship Brother Haishan?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
"No."
Ding Yan shook his head and said, "Although I mentioned Brother Xue Haishan, Uncle Sikong never promised you the same thing. I thought he didn't want to take Brother Xue Haishan in."
"Furthermore, judging from the current situation, it's not like he took Brother Haishan in because of me, but more like Elder Xue Haichuan."
As soon as Ding Yan said this, Duan Lingtian thought about the scene just now and vaguely felt that this should be the case.
"Thank you Sikong for your worship!"
At this time, Xue Haichuan also respectfully thanked Sikong Ye.
"Go ahead."
Sikong Ye looked at Xue Haichuan, waved his hand and said, "I hope you can reach a higher level in the Imperial War Plane this time. Cultivation requires accumulation, but the secrets of the law and other means can be used in wartime." Enlightenment.”
"As for Xue Haishan, I suggest you stay with me and practice hard for a while. After you have consolidated your cultivation, you can then go to the battlefield of the God King in the Emperor's War Plane to practice and form a team with others."
As soon as Sikong Ye said these words, Xue Haishan quickly responded, "I will pay tribute to Sikong."
"Haichuan, go ahead."
"I'm here with Sikong, you don't need to worry about me."
Xue Haishan said to Xue Haichuan.
While Xue Haichuan nodded in response, he said hello to Duan Lingtian and Ding Yan, then turned around and left, preparing to enter the Imperial Battle Plane.
After Xue Haichuan left, Sikong Ye looked at the old man beside him and said, "Mr. Wen, please make arrangements for Xue Haishan."
"Yes, Master."
The old man responded respectfully, and then took Xue Haishan and left. Xue Haishan did not forget to say goodbye to Duan Lingtian and Ding Yan before leaving.
For a moment, apart from Sikong Ye himself, Duan Lingtian and Ding Yan were the only two people left in the courtyard.
"Duan Lingtian, this is my Uncle Sikong, worshiped by the Tianlong Sect, Sikong Ye."
Ding Yan introduced with a smile.
Before Duan Lingtian spoke, Sikong Ye had already withdrew his doting gaze on Ding Yan, turned to look at Duan Lingtian, smiled slightly and said, "Duan Lingtian, I have admired you for a long time."
"Thank you for taking care of my nephew back in the days when I was at Fengcheng Kirigakure Academy."
Hearing Sikong Ye's words, Duan Lingtian shook his head hastily, "Sikong worships you, you are too polite. Ding Yan and I are friends, and it is normal for friends to help each other."
"Haha...what a friend."
Sikong Ye smiled, with a trace of nostalgia flashing in his eyes, "It's great to be young... You guys remind me of the first time I met Ding Yan's father."
"In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed."
"It's a pity that my old friend is no longer here, leaving only my old friend's son."
After talking about it, Sikong Ye's eyes flashed with sadness and he sighed quietly.
Duan Lingtian said with a solemn expression: "Sikong Fengfeng can treat the old friend's son as his own after he leaves. If I know my old friend, I won't regret having Sikong Fongfeng as a friend like you."
Duan Lingtian's words made Sikong Ye couldn't help but laugh, "You little guy can talk."
"Compared to Ding Yan, a lump of wood, you are much more interesting."
"It's no wonder that my daughter seems to be quite interested in you and asked me to go find that boy Long Qingchong and ask him to ask you to be that girl's alchemy teacher."
Sikong Ye smiled.
Ding Yan was stunned by Sikong Ye's words, and an imperceptible sadness flashed through his eyes.
Duan Lingtian was also stunned, and then he smiled bitterly and said: "When it comes to alchemy, I am actually half-assed... Although I can refine the ultimate king-level divine elixir, that can only mean that I have no knowledge of the life in the aura of heaven and earth. Sensitive to force."
"In terms of the true level of alchemy, not to mention the old sect leader, even the divine alchemists in the sect, I can't compare with them."
Speaking of what happened later, Duan Lingtian felt helpless.
"It seems that falling flowers are intentional and flowing water is ruthless."
Sikong Ye took a deep look at Duan Lingtian and said, "In that case, I hope that when my daughter comes into contact with you Duan Lingtian in the future, you can make it clear to her to avoid her having any illusions."
"That girl has a heart as high as the sky and has never set her sights on a man of the same age."
"It can be said that you are the first man she has fallen in love with in her thousands of years of life."
"I heard Ding Yan say that you have a lot of wives and concubines, you have children, and you are not a heartless person... You are more experienced in this aspect. I believe you know how to reject her."
As soon as Sikong Ye said these words, Duan Lingtian immediately looked at Ding Yan and felt speechless.
When did I tell this guy that I have a group of wives and concubines?
I am just two wives.
There are only three confidantes who have confirmed their relationship.
Can this be called a group of wives and concubines?
At the same time, Sikong Ye continued: "In return, I, Sikong Ye, owe you a favor."
"You are seeking refuge with me, and it is not within this favor... I took you in for Ding Yan's sake. One is one, and two is two. I hope you understand."
When Sikong Ye said this, his expression rarely became serious.
Duan Lingtian, on the other hand, smiled bitterly and said, "Sikong Zongzong, you don't have to be like this."
"For me, it's just a drop in the bucket."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and said: "Sikong worships you, there is no need to owe me any favors."
"I, Sikong Ye, say one is one, and two is two."
Sikong Ye said solemnly.
After finishing his words, without waiting for Duan Lingtian to say anything else, he looked directly at Ding Yan and asked Ding Yan to arrange a place for Duan Lingtian.
As soon as the words fell, they disappeared like a gust of wind without a trace.
"Duan Lingtian, let's go."
Seeing that Duan Lingtian was still in a daze, Ding Yan called out to Duan Lingtian, "Uncle Sikong's decisions will never change. Just accept his favor."
"Besides, if you don't want this favor, just ask Uncle Sikong if you have anything to do in the future."
"Of course, if something happens, I still hope you can find Uncle Sikong."
"Uncle Sikong can do many things."
When Ding Yan said this, he glanced at Duan Lingtian meaningfully and said via voice transmission: "Even if you ask Uncle Sikong to kill the deputy sect leader Xue Mingzhi, he will do it for you."
"Besides, Xue Mingzhi will not survive the next day from the time you open your mouth."
"Even if Xue Mingzhi is hiding in the sect's camp."
Ding Yan's words were unexpected by Duan Lingtian.
At the same time, I never expected that Sikong Ye, a minister of the Tianlong Sect who usually presented himself as the Black Dragon Elder, would be so capable.
Xue Mingzhi is the deputy sect leader of Tianlong Sect, and his status is still higher than that of the Black Dragon elders of Tianlong Sect.
His status is high, second only to the sect leader and several Golden Dragon elders.
But now, Ding Yan's words made Duan Lingtian unable to help but think about it, "How good is the relationship between Sikong worshiper and the sect master? Can he decide the life or death of a deputy sect master?"
"Or... maybe he is special?"
…
In this way, Duan Lingtian settled down where Sikong Ye was worshiped by Tianlong Sect and practiced here.
As for the medicinal materials that the head of the Tianlong Sect collected for Duan Lingtian, Duan Lingtian did not go to get them himself. Ding Yan went to collect them on his behalf, so that some people with evil intentions could not take advantage of them.
Duan Lingtian naturally doesn't know all this.
He didn't even know that Xue Haichuan had been ordered to go to the Imperial War Plane. Although the person who gave the order was not from the deputy sect leader Xue Mingzhi and the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, Xue Mingzhi was still involved.
