Back then, Duan Lingtian's reputation in the Chixiao Kingdom could be regarded as soaring to the sky.

Perhaps few people in those powerful imperial kingdoms had heard of Duan Ling Tian, but the few kingdoms around the Chixiao Kingdom also spread legends about Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Lingtian, in the Chixiao Kingdom, is undoubtedly a legend.

In Nie Yan's opinion, with Duan Lingtian's current cultivation, the young talent of the Yuanying Realm brought by the envoy of the Yangling Kingdom was not enough to see at all.

Perhaps, Duan Lingtian only needed one finger to knock the other party down.

"No...... Brother Nie, I don't participate in the 'meeting with martial arts' between the young talents of the Chixiao Kingdom and the Yangling Kingdom. ”

Duan Lingtian shook his head, he was not at all interested in the 'meeting friends with force' between the young talents of the two countries.

In his opinion, with his current cultivation, to participate in that 'meeting friends with martial arts' is simply to bully people.

"Not participating?"

Nie Yan was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Xiaotian, if you don't participate, then our Chixiao Kingdom will lose this time...... Once we lose, our Chixiao Kingdom will have to pay taxes for three years!"

The three years of taxation in the Chixiao Kingdom is undoubtedly an astronomical amount.

No matter who it is, it will feel distressed.

"Little Heaven...... I know that you are now in the sect of the Qinglin Imperial Kingdom, and you are standing at a different height, and you don't pay attention to the people brought by the envoy of the Yangling Kingdom. It's just that this 'meeting friends with martial arts' is not only related to the face of our Chixiao Kingdom, but also related to the tax ...... of our Chixiao Kingdom for three years."

Nie Yuan looked at Duan Ling Tian and sighed, "This time, Uncle Nie also hopes that you can take action and relieve the siege of our Chixiao Kingdom." If our Chixiao Kingdom loses the taxes paid by the Yangling Kingdom for three years, it is very likely that the Yangling Kingdom will use these taxes to strengthen its army and attack our country...... At that time, the people will inevitably be miserable again. ”

"I don't think you want to see the people of the Chixiao Kingdom fall into war and be displaced, right?"

Speaking of which, Nie Yuan's face was extremely solemn.

"Uncle Nee. ”

Duan Lingtian saw Nie Yuan's tirade, and he suddenly felt unbearable, "I think you misunderstood...... I just said that I wouldn't participate in the 'Friends with Arms', and I didn't say that I wouldn't help the Chixiao Kingdom win this bet. ”

Speaking of which, Duan Lingtian shook his head a little helplessly.

"Xiaotian, what do you mean by this? If you don't participate in the 'Friends with Arms', how can we win this bet?"

Nie Yuan's father and son were both puzzled.

"You'll know then...... By the way, Uncle Nie, Brother Nie, when will the 'meeting of friends with force' be carried out?"

Duan Lingtian smiled mysteriously, and then asked Nie Yuan and Nie Yan again.

"Coincidentally, it's tomorrow. ”

Nie Yuan said: "At that time, the Friends of Israel will be held in the palace...... His Majesty and the envoys of the Yangling Kingdom will be present in person. Not only that, but the young talents of the royal family, as well as the young talents of the three major families, will be present at that time. ”

"Tomorrow? That's a coincidence...... Well, I'll come to the Shenwei Marquis Mansion early tomorrow morning, and I'll enter the palace with you then. ”

Duan Lingtian nodded.

"Uncle Nie, is Grandpa Nie here?"

Duan Lingtian looked at Nie Yuan and asked, now that he has come to the Shenwei Hou Mansion, he naturally wants to go to see the old marquis by the way to show his courtesy.

"Father, he went away some time ago. ”

Nie Yuan shook his head, very happy that Duan Lingtian could still remember his father.

"Xiao Tian, how did you let us win the 'bet' with the Yangling Kingdom?"

Nie Yan rolled a pair of curious eyes and asked impatiently.

"Brother Nie, you'll know tomorrow......"

Duan Lingtian shrugged his shoulders and deliberately sold a pass.

Although Nie Yan's heart was itching, Duan Ling Tian was reluctant to say it, and he had no choice but to wait for the arrival of tomorrow's 'Friends with Martial Arts'.

"Xiao Tian, I heard that the cultivation environment of the Qinglin Imperial Kingdom Sect is excellent...... Is this true?"

"Xiao Tian, you have been in the Qinglin Imperial Kingdom for a few years, and you have seen the 'powerhouse who has entered the virtual realm'?"

"Xiaotian, you ......"

Immediately afterward, Nie Yan kept asking Duan Lingtian about the Qinglin Imperial Kingdom, as if he didn't know about fatigue and boredom at all.

In the end, Duan Lingtian really couldn't bear it, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.

When you leave, it's like running away.

Nie Yuan's father and son sent Duan Lingtian out of the door, and it wasn't until Duan Lingtian's back disappeared in front of him that Nie Yan muttered to himself a little unsatisfied, "I haven't finished asking yet......"

"Okay, I still want to ask? Xiaotian was scared away by you. ”

Nie Yuan glared at Nie Yan angrily.

Nie Yan smiled a little embarrassedly, then rolled his eyes, and muttered, "Just now, when I asked Xiaotian a question...... Dad, you seem to be interested, right? Why are you blaming me now......

"What did you say?"

Nie Yuan's ears were so powerful that he faintly heard Nie Yan's soft muttering, looked at him angrily, and raised his voice and asked.

"I didn't ...... Not...... Nothing!

When Nie Yan saw this, he was immediately stunned.

Outside, he is the little marquis of the Shenwei Marquis Mansion, the 'general' of the three armies, and is admired by thousands of soldiers.

But at home, in front of his father, Shen Weihou, he will always be just a little cub.

After Duan Lingtian left the Shenwei Hou Mansion, he didn't go anywhere else, and went back to his house directly.

Back in the house, as soon as he walked into the backyard, Duan Lingtian heard a pleasant chuckle.

"Xiao Lan?"

Duan Lingtian heard who the owner of the voice was, and his brows furrowed.

In the pavilion in the backyard, the woman sitting opposite Li Rou had long and silky hair, like a waterfall cascading down, dancing with the wind.

The cheeks of the country and the city seem to have been carefully carved.

Xiao Lan sat there, with an elegant temperament, as if she had turned into a fairy in the world......

As soon as Duan Lingtian entered the backyard, Xiao Lan looked over with some awareness, a touch of joy appeared on her beautiful face, and she stood up a little embarrassed, "You...... You're back?"

Xiao Lan glanced at Duan Lingtian, and lowered her head a little shyly, like a child who had been caught stealing candy and eating it.

"Xiao Lan, long time no see. ”

Duan Lingtian smiled at Xiao Lan, he could see that his mother hadn't told Xiao Lan about his return beforehand.

"yes, long time no see. It's good for you to come back...... Aunt Rou has missed you so much in the past few years......"

Xiao Lan nodded lightly, and she didn't sit down again until Duan Lingtian came over and sat down.

Her hazy eyes were like water, and she sometimes glanced at the man in front of her secretly......

I haven't seen him for a few years, but the man is more mature and attractive.

Unconsciously, Xiao Lan's pretty face was dyed with a touch of crimson, which was very good-looking and moving.

"Tian'er, have you seen your Uncle Nie?"

Li Rou saw the subtle changes in Xiao Lan after Duan Lingtian appeared, and she sighed secretly in her heart, and then looked at Duan Lingtian and avoided the topic.

"Hmm. ”

Duan Lingtian smiled and nodded, "I've seen it." I haven't seen you for a few years, but Uncle Nie is still so strong. ”

"The Duan family and the Imperial Palace, when are you going to go?"

Li Rou asked again.

"If the Duan family is concerned, in two days...... Take a break today, and early tomorrow morning, I will go to the Shenwei Hou Mansion, and then follow Uncle Nie and Brother Nie into the palace, and go to see Your Majesty by the way. ”

Duan Lingtian said slowly.

"But it's for the sake of 'meeting friends with martial arts' with the young talents of the Yangling Kingdom?"

Obviously, Li Rou also knew about it.

"Hmm. ”

Duan Lingtian nodded.

After a moment, Li Rou glanced at Duan Lingtian, then at Xiao Lan who was sitting on the side, and immediately stood up, "You haven't seen each other for a long time, talk well...... I'll go back to my room and practice first. ”

After speaking, Li Rou breathed a sigh of relief and left the backyard.

For a while, in the pavilion in the backyard, only Duan Lingtian and Xiao Lan were left sitting opposite each other.

Duan Lingtian was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

In the end, it was Xiao Lan who spoke first, "Are Ke'er and Li Fei back with you?"

Duan Lingtian shook his head, "No." They went out with the elders of the sect, and it is estimated that it will be a while before they come back together. ”

"Hmm. ”

Xiao Lan nodded lightly.

"In the past few years, how are you doing?"

Xiao Lan saw that after Duan Lingtian answered her question, she didn't respond for a long time, and after secretly snorting 'wood', she took the initiative to talk.

"It's okay. ”

Duan Lingtian nodded.

He never felt that he was a clumsy person, but now when facing Xiao Lan, his mood was extremely complicated......

If he doesn't have a good impression of Xiao Lan, it's impossible.

Since ancient times, heroes love beautiful women, and he asked himself that although he was not a hero, he did not have much resistance to a beauty of Xiao Lan's level.

Even, when he was still in Aurora City, when the Xiao family held the "Hidden Dragon List" genius gathering, when he saw 'Xiao Lan' for the first time, he couldn't help but be amazed, and he had a good impression of this woman who was like a fairy in the sky.

After all, everyone has a love for beauty.

If there were no Ke'er and Li Fei, maybe he would take the initiative to pursue Xiao Lan, and as for feelings or something, they could be cultivated slowly......

Just like Li Fei at the beginning.

However, now, because there are already Ke'er and Li Fei by his side, Duan Lingtian has invisibly shouldered a great responsibility.

He had to take into account the feelings of the second daughter.

Of course, even though this is the case, it doesn't mean that Duan Lingtian will never marry a third woman in his life, he just won't be as bohemian as he was in the past.

If there is really fate, when fate comes, he will not miss it.

But so far, the fate between him and Xiao Lan has obviously not reached that point.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Lan asked Duan Lingtian a lot about the Qinglin Imperial Kingdom, and at the same time, she was full of yearning for the Qinglin Imperial Kingdom.

"I really envy Kerr and Li Fei, who can always be by your side and accompany you out for adventures. ”

Xiao Lan looked envious.

Always by my side?

Xiao Lan's words made Duan Lingtian embarrassed for a while.

In the past few years, the time he has spent with Keer and Li Fei seems to be less than a month.

Other times, he's alone
