Chapter 1649: Reunion

The woman who was leaning on the side of the pagoda was none other than Han Xue Nai, the Eldest Miss of the Greenwave Han Mansion.

Unlike the Han Xue Nai in Duan Ling Tian’s memory who looked like a perpetual fifteen or sixteen-year-old, the childishness on the current Han Xue Nai’s face had now mostly disappeared. It was as though she had grown to become an adult overnight and matured into a great beauty.

At the very least, in terms of beauty, she was in no way inferior to Ke’er, Li Fei, and Feng Tian Wu.

“Is Uncle Qing looking for me?” Han Xue Nai asked.

The curly bearded man did not answer directly but cast a glance at the maid by the side instead.

His action also meant one thing — that it was inconvenient for him to talk with the maid’s presence.

Of course, he could always use his Voice Transmission, but there was a great disparity between his position and the woman in front of him, so unless it was absolutely necessary, he dared not communicate with her using Voice Transmission in such a rude manner.

“You may retreat now.” As soon as Han Xue Nai opened her mouth, the maid responded and retreated.

Soon, only Han Xue Nai and the curly bearded man were left in the backyard.

From the attitude of the curly bearded man just now, she could tell that things did not seem to be very simple. Before he could open his mouth, she had already beaten him into it and asked, “Is it really important?”

“Yes.” The curly bearded man nodded.

“Since it’s important, you don’t have to have any misgivings at all. Just tell me through Voice Transmission directly.” Even though Han Xue Nai had no idea why Uncle Qing was looking for her, she still treated it as important because she knew that he would not have looked for her if there was no issue.

The curly bearded man responded once again before transmitting his Voice Transmission, “Eldest Miss, the reason Lord City Governor asked me to look for you is to ask you a question.”

“Ask me a question? What’s that?” Han Xue Nai asked curiously.

“Lord City Governor wants me to ask you whether you know any young man called Ling Tian, Eldest Miss? That young man isn’t even 40 years old yet,” continued the curly bearded man in Voice Transmission.

Ling Tian!

Long before he even finished halfway, Han Xue Nai’s gaze had already lit up. A sense of excitement crept upon her ultimately beautiful face.

Of course, the two words “Ling Tian” were not foreign to her.

It was the name of her Brother Ling Tian!

Upon hearing these two words, she instantly thought of her Brother Ling Tian, Duan Ling Tian.

“Is he only called Ling Tian? Did he say what his surname was?” Han Xue Nai asked.

“Isn’t Ling his surname?” The curly bearded man was stunned.

“He didn’t say that his surname is Duan?” Upon hearing his words, Han Xue Nai frowned before quickly easing it again.

Even if the other party did not say that his surname was Duan, she still felt that he must be her Brother Ling Tian. “Where is he now?”

“At the Greenwave City Governor’s Estate,” replied the curly bearded man truthfully.

“At the City Governor’s Estate?” When Han Xue Nai heard this, she instantly thought of going to the Greenwave City Governor’s Estate to meet that young man who was called Ling Tian to see whether he was her Brother Ling Tian or not.

Even though she had a strong intuition that he was indeed her Brother Ling Tian, her heart was still not 100% sure.

Of course, even though she wanted to go to the Greenwave City Governor’s Estate, she knew that she could not.

Even though she appeared to be free now, there were many Greenwave Han Mansion’s powerhouses lurking around her mansion. These powerhouses were all on Han Xin, the supreme elder’s side, the person who had taken a stand of wanting her to marry the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion.

There was only one reason for them to lurk around — to monitor her and not let her leave.

Therefore, even if she wanted to leave, she would be blocked as well.

“What else did he say?” Han Xue Nai looked at the curly bearded man and asked rather emotionally.

“Lord City Governor said that he has a message that wants me to pass to you, Eldest Miss,” added the man.

“What message?” Han Xue Nai’s breathing started to turn slightly rapid now.

“Brother Ling Tian is here,” he said, “These are his original words.”

He soon realized that the moment the words left his mouth, the Eldest Miss in front of him seemed to have an acupuncture point jabbed as she stood rooted to the ground, not moving an inch at all. The expression on her face was frozen and did not change for a long time.

However, after a while, he saw the excitement in her eyes and on her face.

Before Han Xue Nai opened her mouth, the man already thought to himself, ‘Looks like that man is really the Eldest Miss’s friend!’

“That man claimed to be your friend, Eldest Miss,” he still added obediently.

Brother Ling Tian!

Upon hearing these three words, Han Xue Nai was 100% sure that the young man called Ling Tian, who was currently in the City Governor’s Estate now, was her Brother Ling Tian.

However, it had never crossed her mind that her Brother Ling Tian would come to find her here.

In fact, because she was worried that her Brother Ling Tian would be burdened in the past, she had never told him that she was the Eldest Miss from the Greenwave Han Mansion, let alone tell him what kind of force the Greenwave Han Mansion was in the Dao Martial Saint Land.

After knowing that he was in the Greenwave City Governor’s Estate, Han Xue Nai wanted to go look for him immediately.

However, the moment she recalled the situation that she was in now, she could not help but sigh in her heart. She could not leave at all.

Nonetheless, the fact that she could not leave did not mean that Duan Ling Tian could not come.

Han Xue Nai quickly went to look for Qing Nu and asked her to fetch Duan Ling Tian to the Greenwave Han Mansion to reunite with her. Currently, she had a lot to say to her Brother Ling Tian and she also wanted to see the man whom she had not seen for many years.

“Duan Ling Tian is here?” After learning that Duan Ling Tian had come to the Greenwave City and was now in the Greenwave City Governor’s Estate, Qing Nu was slightly taken aback as well.

Soon, she followed the curly bearded man back to the Greenwave City Governor’s Estate.

Of course, when she arrived, she first went to see the Greenwave City Governor. “Elder Han Qing.”

“Qing Nu, you actually made the visit yourself. Looks like that Brother Ling Tian of mine is indeed the Eldest Miss’s friend.” When Han Qing saw Qing Nu, he already had his answer before she could open her mouth.

“Where is he now?” Qing Nu asked.

“When he just arrived here two days ago, I arranged for him to take a rest. Let’s go! Let’s find him together.” Han Qing motioned to Qing Nu and headed toward the mansion that Duan Ling Tian stayed in together.

When the two of them had just walked into the mansion, Duan Ling Tian, who was in the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, opened his eyes straightaway.

Of course, this was not coincidental, but it was Elder Huo who notified him in a timely manner.

Ever since Elder Huo had regained his strength last time, he could always keep an eye outside the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. Usually, when Duan Ling Tian was cultivating, he would always keep track of the situation outside.

If there was something happening outside, he would inform Duan Ling Tian immediately.

Hence, when Han Qing and Qing Nu just came in, Duan Ling Tian instantly awoke from his cultivation.

After waking up from his cultivation base, he sighed, ‘Even though I’ve caught some of the profoundness on the Saint Stage, I’m still a step away.’

Even though it was merely a step away, this gap was the part that became the shackles holding him back from making a breakthrough to the Saint Stage.

With just that one thought, he left the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, returning to the room.

Knock! Knock!

Right at this moment, a series of knocks reverberated.

Duan Ling Tian opened the door and in just one glance, he saw a couple of familiar faces.

Quickly, he returned to his senses. The face that looked familiar was Qing Nu who had stayed by Han Xue Nai’s side the last time. It had been her who had brought Little Black, Little White, and Little Gold away. After the three little fellows left and returned once again, they had also demonstrated shocking strength in front of him.

All in all, he felt a sense of gratitude towards Qing Nu as well. After all, she had helped the three little fellows before.

“Big Brother Han Qing, Senior Qing Nu,” Duan Ling Tian greeted the two of them and was slightly overwhelmed with emotions.

Seeing Qing Nu also meant that he would see Han Xue Nai very soon.

When Duan Ling Tian first arrived at the Greenwave Han Mansion estate, it was an eye-opening experience to him.

“So, is this the Greenwave Han Mansion, the fifth-rated force in the Dao Martial Saint Land?” Looking at the estate that resembled a small nation, Duan Ling Tian felt slightly dazzled as bafflement filled his heart.

A fifth-rated force was already so impressive. How about a fourth-rated force? Or even a more powerful third, or even second and first-rate forces?

Of course, Duan Ling Tian also knew that the forces that were third-rated and above only existed in the Dao Martial Saint Land’s Upper Province. In the Lower Province, the fourth-rated force was the most powerful one. Of course, the fourth-rated forces in the Dao Martial Saint Land’s Lower Province were grouped into various grades and ranks too. The most powerful fourth-rated forces were also called quasi third-rated forces.

In the entire Dao Martial Saint Land’s Lower Province, there were very few quasi third-rated forces.

When Duan Ling Tian saw Han Xue Nai again, he could not help but be stunned. She seemed to have changed to become another person.

Of course, other than her childishness having faded away, her face was still distinguishable.

In his eyes, Xue Nai seemed to have grown to become an adult overnight. She was like a flower bud that was waiting to bloom and had finally blossomed into a beautiful and flaming, fiery rose.

Right now, Han Xue Nai was no longer the young girl from last time. She had grown up to become a great beauty now.

‘No wonder that Rising Sky Mansion’s Young Mansion Master would fall for Xue Nai,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.

When he first saw Han Xue Nai, he was dumbstruck. The instant she laid her eyes on him, her heart jolted right away. Then, as though she had found a release point, she threw herself into Duan Ling Tian’s arms as tears flowed down her cheeks.

The tears were tears of grievance.

In this period of time, though she had suffered an inexplicable sense of burden in her heart, she had not revealed them at all even to her current closest friend, Mu Xue Yi, let alone in front of everybody else.

However, although she wanted to reveal it in front of her dad, she still swallowed it down in the end for she knew that the pressure that her father was shouldering was in no way smaller than hers.

She refused to get married, so how could her father be willing too?

However, at that instant when she laid eyes on Duan Ling Tian, she seemed to have gotten rid of all restraints completely as she threw herself into his arms and let her tears fall freely.

At this instant, Duan Ling Tian’s embrace seemed to become the estuary that could allow her to vent out her grievance as she liked.

“Xue Nai.” Upon feeling Xue Nai’s grievance, Duan Ling Tian’s eyes gleamed coldly and brilliantly. At the same time, he also reached out a hand to pat on her back lightly as he reassured her softly, “It’s alright, it’s alright.”
