“I heard he has announced that he’ll kill those three people from the Lower Province if he sees them again!” Duan Ling Tian heard the other person said.

Based on that, Duan Ling Tian was certain that Medicine King Sun Ying was the owner of

the herb garden they landed in when they first arrived in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.

At that time, Sun Ying had imprisoned them and forced them to labor in the herb garden. They made a mess of the garden before they escaped with the spirit medicine in Sun Ying’s herb garden with Zhu Lu Qi’s help and Elder Huo’s plan. At that time, Duan Ling Tian was not certain about the identity of the herb garden’s owner.

“Medicine King Sun Ying? The expert in Medicine Refinement Dao who’s also a Quasi

Celestial Grade Saint Refinement Master? The sectless cultivator who’s ranked 275th on the Supreme Saint Ranking?”

Duan Ling Tian felt a hint of dread the more he learned about the owner of the herb garden.

A sectless cultivator who was ranked 275th on the Supreme Saint Ranking was definitely at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage even if he was not at the peak of it. He was definitely not a simple person.

‘Lucky we managed to escape. Otherwise, we would’ve died!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself in relief when he discovered how strong Sun Ying was. After all, he only managed to rank on the 421st place on the Supreme Saint Ranking after defeating Bu Hong, a true disciple from the Fire Worship Sect, with the Jasper Celestial Sword.

Currently, Duan Ling Tian was no match for Sun Ying even if he used the Jasper Celestial Sword.

‘Palace Master Zhu should have successfully returned to the Lower Province and warned the Azure Cloud Mansion by now… Hopefully, father manages to bring the others away from the Azure Cloud Mansion and is hiding somewhere safe away from the men that Yang Chong sent.’ Duan Ling Tian recalled Zhu Lu Qi when Medicine King Sun Ying was mentioned.

Zhu Lu Qi was supposed to return to the Lower Province and go to the Azure Cloud Mansion to warn them about the impending danger upon Duan Ling Tian’s request. However, Duan Ling Tian would never expect that not only did Zhu Lu Qi fail to return to the Lower Province to warn the Azure Cloud Mansion due to an error in the Inter-Province Transport Formation, but he had been dead for a month now! He was killed by the tenth elder from the Ox Devil Clan.

‘Senior Brother Gu Li…’ Duan Ling Tian thought of Gu Li after that, ‘I wonder how he’s doing.’

Duan Ling Tian was so lost in his thoughts that he did not notice the two figures that approached his table. The two figures belonged to a young man and a young woman.

The young man was tall and handsome but still fall short in comparison to Duan Ling Tian. With or without his disguise, Duan Ling Tian was still much more handsome than him. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian’s bearing was much better as well!

For this reason, the young man could not help but frown. A sense of inferiority rose in his heart when he looked at Duan Ling Tian. It caused him to feel uneasy and dissatisfied.

On the other hand, the young woman next to the young man possessed a perfectly exquisite face. She had an unintentional seductive air about her. Just standing there, she outshone everything in her surroundings. There was no doubt she was an extremely beautiful woman. She was only slightly inferior compared to Duan Ling Tian’s wives, Ke’er and Li Fei. She could be considered as a rare beauty in the Dao Martial Saint Land. Although the young woman was extremely beautiful, she had an approachable vibe about her. She appeared very pure like a celestial when dressed in her long flowing white robe.

“Excuse me, there are no empty seats left in the restaurant. Is it okay if we share this table with you?” The white-robed woman asked Duan Ling Tian who was lost in his thoughts with a smile on her face. Her voice was soft and pleasing to the ears.

Duan Ling Tian regained his senses when she spoke. Naturally, Duan Ling Tian did not notice them approaching him because he did not sense any hostility from them.

“Sorry… What did you say?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened when he saw the white-robed girl. He had never seen anyone so beautiful since he came to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land apart from Gan Ru Yan who looked identical to Ke’er.

“Can we share this table with you? There are no more empty seats left in the restaurant,” the white-robed girl repeated what she had said patiently. Her cheeks reddened involuntarily when she looked into the eyes of the young man before her. His gaze was pure unlike other men who usually looked at her lecherously. She was instantly impressed and had a favorable impression of the young man before her. This was the first time she had a favorable impression of a male who had no blood relations with her.

“Of course.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. He immediately agreed to the white-robe girl’s request since he had a good impression of her as well. All this while, Duan Ling Tian did not look at the young man standing next to her at all.

A hint of jealousy and anger could be seen in the young man’s eyes when he saw how the young girl’s cheeks had reddened when she spoke to Duan Ling Tian. He had always treated the young girl as his woman, but the girl had never acted so shyly in front of him before. This undoubtedly made him angry.

“Thank you.” The white-clothed girl thanked Duan Ling Tian and sat down next to him. Her cheeks turned even redder after she sat down.

The tables in the restaurant all had two benches on the sides. Since the young girl did not wish to sit with the young man she came with, she decided to sit next to Duan Ling Tian even though he was a stranger. She felt safer with him since it seemed like he did not have any lecherous thoughts about her unlike most men, including the young man who came with her.

Duan Ling Tian was surprised by the white-robed girl’s action. When he regained his senses, he could smell a unique fragrance that made him relax.

The young man who was already angry became angrier when he saw the white-robed girl had chosen to sit next to a stranger instead of sitting with him.

“Qing’er, how can you sit with a stranger? Hurry, come and sit next to me,” the young man said after he sat down on the other bench. It was obvious he had only decided to share a table with a stranger because he thought that girl would sit next to him.

“This will be the final time I’m telling you this, Dongfang Zhu. Don’t call me Qing’er. We’re not that close. You can call me Qiu Mu Qing,” the young girl said with a hint of anger. Her gentle expression turned cold when she spoke.

Qiu Mu Qing! When Duan Ling Tian heard her name, he thought to himself, ‘What a nice name!’

Based on her words, Duan Ling Tian knew Qiu Mu Qing was not interested in the young man who came with her. In fact, she seemed disgusted by him. This confused Duan Ling Tian. ‘Why did she agree to have a meal with Dongfang Zhu in this restaurant if she’s disgusted by him?’

A woman’s heart was really mysterious.

Duan Ling Tian’s good impression of her lessened a little.

Upon hearing Qiu Mu Qing’s words, Dongfang Zhu’s eyes flashed coldly. However, he maintained the smile on his face as he said, “It is impolite for me to address you by your full name… Since you’re unhappy with the way I addressed you, I’ll just address you as Young Miss Mu Qing. Is that okay with you?”

“You can just call me Miss Qiu,” Qiu Mu Qing said indifferently.

“Fine… I will address you that way. If you want me to address you as Miss Qiu, I’ll address you as Mis Qiu,” Dongfang Zhu said in an attempt to appease her. However, he cursed inwardly, ‘After I marry you, I’ll deal with you. Let’s see how you beg mercy when you’re under my body.’

“Miss Qiu, how about sitting next to me…” Dongfang Zhu said to Qiu Mu Qing. He had hoped she would get up and sit next to him. He did not want to miss an opportunity to get close to her. Moreover, she was sitting next to a man who was better looking than him and had a better bearing than him.

“It’s fine. I’m comfortable sitting here.” Qiu Mu Qing rejected Dongfang Zhu’s invitation.

Dongfang Zhu’s expression darkened immediately. He shifted his attention to Duan Ling Tian after he failed to make any progress with Qiu Mu Qing.

“I’m Dongfang Zhu … I’m the Second Young Master of Dongfang Clan. The Dongfang Clan is one of three major clans in Clarity City. My father’s the Clan Leader of Dongfang Clan!” Dongfang Zhu said arrogantly to Duan Ling Tian. His expression was one of pride.
