Chapter 1650: A Trap

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ever since Duan Ling Tian met Han Xue Nai, this was his first time seeing her showing such an expression.

In his eyes, Han Xue Nai was always an optimistic, cheerful, and vivacious girl. However, she felt unfamiliar to him at this moment.

All of this was related to the proposal from the Rising Sky Mansion’s Young Mansion Master.

“Rising Sky Mansion!” A flame of fury rose in Duan Ling Tian’s heart when he saw the girl whom he regarded as his biological sister so sad. If it was possible, he wanted to destroy the Rising Sky Mansion so that Xue Nai would return to how carefree she was.

However, he also knew with his current strength, any powerhouse from the Rising Sky Mansion would be able to kill him easily. How would he be able to destroy the Rising Sky Mansion then?

Although he had the Jasper Celestial Sword and Devilseal Tablet in his hands, the Devilseal Tablet was only useful against Devil Cultivators.

With his current strength, even if he wielded the Jasper Celestial Sword with all his strength, he could only kill an Intermediate Pristine Saint Stage Martial or Dao Cultivator at the most.

Such strength was nothing at all in Greenwave Han Mansion, let alone the Rising Sky Mansion that was even more powerful than Greenwave Han Mansion.

When Duan Ling Tian arrived at Greenwave Han Mansion, he only wanted to find out whether his fiancée, Li Fei, was in the Greenwave Han Mansion. He had planned to ask Han Xue Nai this as soon as he saw her, but he could not do it when he saw Xue Nai’s breakdown and her sorrow. All he could do was reassure her in a soft voice.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian no longer had an aloof expression on his face. When he entered the mansion Han Xue Nai was residing in, he had deactivated the Disguising Secret Tactic and reverted to his original appearance. Qing Nu could not recognize him at all when she first saw him. However, after he had used his Voice Transmission and told her about the incidents in the past, she did not doubt his identity at all.

Standing in the distance, Qing Nu could not help but sigh when she saw the scene in front of her.

She had watched Han Xue Nai grew up, and her young miss had always been free of worries until the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion came and proposed to her. Ever since then, her young miss had changed. She became taciturn and hardly spoke to Qing Nu anymore.

There were many instances when she was overwhelmed with the urge to kill the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion. If he died, there would be no marriage.

However, put aside the fact that there were far stronger powerhouses in the Rising Sky Mansion that would make it difficult for her to make a move, even if she succeeded in killing the Young Mansion Master of Greenwave Han Mansion, it would only bring doom to Greenwave Han Mansion. She was from the Greenwave Han Mansion after all. Her actions would definitely implicate the Greenwave Han Mansion.

In the Greenwave Han Mansion’s surrounding district, who did not know that she, Qing Nu, was from the Greenwave Han Mansion?

At that time, even if she announced her departure from the Greenwave Han Mansion, the Rising Sky Mansion would still vent their anger on the Greenwave Han Mansion. This was why she could not do anything even though her heart ached for Han Xue Nai.

Although she could not help Han Xue Nai escape from the evil grip of the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, she could still block the Divine Consciousness that was coming from every direction. She did not know why Duan Ling Tian would disguise himself, but she knew he had to have a reason for doing so. Due to this reason, she extended her own Divine Consciousness to blocked the Divine Consciousness from the other Saint Stage powerhouses lurking around the mansion. By doing so, those people hiding in the surrounding would not be able to see Duan Ling Tian’s true appearance.

After a long while, Han Xue Nai finally left Duan Ling Tian’s embrace. She wiped off her tears and forced a smile on her face with great difficulty. “Brother Ling Tian, how did you manage to find me here?”

“I wasn’t sure if you’re in the Greenwave Han Mansion, I was just trying my luck. As it turns out, I’m really lucky,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile. However, there was a hint of concern that was hard to conceal in the depth of his eyes.

Han Xue Nai glanced at the surrounding of the mansion before she motioned to Duan Ling Tian to leave the courtyard and enter the mansion. “Brother Ling Tian, let’s go inside and talk.”

After entering the house, she locked the door behind her while Qing Nu stayed outside, guarding the door like a deity. It allowed Han Xue Nai and Duan Ling Tian to speak in a safe environment.

Taking a deep breath, Duan Ling Tian looked at Han Xue Nai and asked slightly eagerly, “Xue Nai, did your Sister Fei’er and the three little fellows come to Greenwave Han Mansion?”

“Yes.” Han Xue Nai nodded.

“Where’s your Sister Fei’er now? Is she in your mansion?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up as an expression of urgency filled his face as though he wished he could grow a pair of wings to fly to Li Fei.

Upon hearing his words, Han Xue Nai smiled wryly. “She was, but now…”

Before she could finish her words, Duan Ling Tian had already interrupted her with a frown on his face. “But now what?”

“Brother Ling Tian, not long after Sister Fei’er gave birth, she was brought away by your father’s man…” When Han Xue Nai reached this part of the sentence, a puzzled expression could be seen on her face. “Brother Ling Tian, who’s your father exactly?”

“My father’s man?” Duan Ling Tian’s frown deepened. “What’s going on, Xue Nai? Please explain.”

After listening to Han Xue Nai’s explanation, Duan Ling Tian learned about what had happened.

“Tell Young Miss Xue Nai that my young madam and her son have returned home with me.” These were the words said by the powerhouse who took Li Fei and her son away.

He had addressed Li Fei as his young madam. Then, Duan Ling Tian had to be the powerhouse’s young master.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian’s joy over finding out he had a son was overshadowed by confusion. The mysterious powerhouse had entered the Greenwave Mansion as though he was entering an abandoned place. One could easily imagine how powerful he was.

“Such a powerhouse is actually father’s man?” Duan Ling Tian was a little dazed. He felt this was a little far-fetched.

Although he knew his cheapskate father also had a fortuitous encounter and had a powerful cultivation base to the point that he was able to establish himself in the Dao Martial Saint Land, he merely thought his stingy father was an ordinary Martial Cultivator in the Dao Martial Saint Land. He did not expect his father to have such a strong powerhouse under his command.

“Father, how many things are you hiding from me?” Duan Ling Tian smiled wryly when he thought about this.

Duan Ling Tian became more at ease after he found out Li Fei and his son had been brought away by his father’s man. He asked Xue Nai, “Xue Nai, apart from addressing your Sister Fei’er, did he say anything else?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

This was because if he managed to find out who the mysterious powerhouse was, he might be able to find his cheapskate father and his mother. Their family would be reunited.

“No.” Han Xue Nai smiled wryly. “He only said that he’s your family’s man and did not reveal anything else.”

Duan Ling Tian felt slightly dejected when he heard this.

“Brother Ling Tian…” Han Xue Nai seemed to have recalled something, but she stopped herself from speaking.

“Xue Nai, is there anything else you want to tell me?” Duan Ling Tian could tell something was not right.

“Brother Ling Tian, there’s something I can’t hide from you.” Han Xue Nai clenched her teeth and told him about how Han Jin Nian, the grandson of the Supreme Elder of Greenwave Han Mansion, had evil intention toward Li Fei and how he was killed by the mysterious powerhouse during the critical moment. “Perhaps, that powerhouse had long been protecting Sister Fei’er in the dark. When Han Jin Nian was about to make his move on her, the powerhouse had instantly made his move. After that, he had brought Sister Fei’er away.”

This was Han Xue Nai’s assumption.

“Han Jin Nian!” At this instant, a killing intent could be seen in Duan Ling Tian eyes. A cold aura emitted from his body making people feel as though they were in a thaw hole. Even Han Xue Nai could hardly endure his aura.

‘Brother Ling Tian’s current strength is even more powerful than mine?’ Her heart jolted as a hint of disbelief appeared in her eyes.

She was currently a Perfection Saint Rudiment Stage Martial Cultivator, but she still felt pressured by the aura emanating out of her brother Ling Tian’s body. Although the pressure was not comparable to a Saint Stage powerhouse, it felt like it was close to it. Due to this reason, she could faintly deduce Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base.

Imminent Saint Stage!

“Brother Ling Tian, Han Jin Nian is dead,” Han Xue Nai said softly, trying to snap Duan Ling Tian out of his daze. Only then did Duan Ling Tian regained his senses. He took a deep breath and managed to calm his aggravated emotions.

To him, Li Fei was his reverse scale. Whoever dared to lay their hands Li Fei was touching his reverse scale.

Every dragon had a reverse scale, touch it, and one would absolutely die!

It was the same for him.

“Xue Nai, when I was in Greenwave City, I heard the Supreme Elder of Greenwave Han Mansion had led a group of people with him to agree to your marriage to the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion… How many Supreme Elders are there in your Greenwave Han Mansion?” Duan Ling Tian asked as he looked at Han Xue Nai.

“Only one,” she replied with a piercing look in her eyes, “I suspect it’s because of Han Xin that the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion came to our Greenwave Mansion.!”

“Han Xin?” Duan Ling Tian was stunned, he did not make the connection immediately.

“Han Xin is the only Supreme Elder of Greenwave Han Mansion. He’s also Han Jin Nian’s biological grandfather,” Han Xue Nai replied.

“Why do you say so?” When Duan Ling Tian heard he was Han Jin Nian’s grandfather, he, naturally, did not like him. He was curious about what Han Xue Nai had to say.

According to her, Han Xin had something to do with the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion coming to the Greenwave Han Mansion.

“Our Greenwave Han Mansion has nothing to do with the Rising Sky Mansion at all before this. The Young Mansion Master has never even visited once. However, not long after Han Jin Nian’s death, the Young Mansion Master suddenly came here. It’s fine if he was only here for a visit, but Han Xin asked me to go over because he wanted to see me.” Killing intent surged out of Han Xue Nai’s body when she reached this part of her sentence. “It didn’t cross my mind that the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion would be present as well. Come to think of it, this was all a trap that Han Xin specifically set up for me!”
