2741 Master Pei“Did your negotiations go successfully?”When he had heard the white-clad young man’s words as soon as the Formation disappeared, Long Fei Yun knew Duan Ling Tian had agreed to the white-clad young man’s condition. He, naturally, did not know about the details of the condition. Even then, he knew the condition the white-clad young man proposed was definitely difficult.

Since they had achieved their goal, Duan Ling Tian, Long Fei Yun, and Qiu Ling left after bidding the white-clad young man farewell.

Bang!

As soon as the trio exited the gate of the mansion, the gate swung close.

This time, Duan Ling Tian was no longer surprised. After all, the white-clad young man was extremely powerful. The white-clad young man was, at least, a Nine Palaces Celestial Duke.

During the journey back, Duan Ling Tian asked Long Fei Yun, “Thirteenth prince, how did you meet Brother Pei?” In his opinion, with the white-clad young man’s strength, it would be easy for him to help Long Fei Yun ascend the throne of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. Why did the white-clad young man not help Long Fei Yun?

“More than a year ago,” memories flitted through Long Fei Yun’s mind as he said, “At that time, Qiu Ling still hadn’t come to me yet… I was out one day, and the earth-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial that my father assigned to guard me was lured away. I was almost killed. Fortunately, Brother Pei rescued me. However, before he rescued me, he made a deal with me. I had to give him one of my possessions in exchange for him saving me. The thing he wanted was something I had accidentally acquired a few years ago. Although it was not extremely precious, it was rare and had a collector’s value. At the moment between life and death, I, naturally, would not think about keeping that thing. If I die, what’s the use of keeping that thing?”

Duan Ling Tian was surprised by the circumstances where Long Fei Yu and the white-clad young man had met.

“During that time, I discovered how strong Brother Pei is… At that time, he had just arrived in our Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. I wanted to win him over so I invited him to stay in my residence in the Imperial palace, but he refused my invitation. In the end, I could only arrange for him to stay in a mansion outside.” A bitter smile could be seen on Long Fei Yun’s face when he spoke. “Since he didn’t refuse the mansion that I arranged for him to stay in, I thought he would be willing to help me fight my fourth and seventh brother… However, to my dismay, he took the initiative and told me he would not intervene in this matter. Later on, whenever I stumbled on any strange or rare treasures, I would give them to him… Gradually, we became familiar with each other, but we can only be considered strangers who are familiar with each other.”

Long Fei Yun continued to say, “As time passed, he gave me a lot of guidance in improving my cultivation base… That’s the extent of his help, but I’m content with it. I can see he truly has no intention of interfering with the fight for the throne of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. For this reason, I gave up and treat him like a teacher and a friend instead.”

Duan Ling Tian nodded. A person like the white-clad young man would not easily change his mind once he had made up his mind. Since he had said he would not interfere with the fight for the throne in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, he was sure to keep his words. He asked curiously, “Do you know why he’s unwilling to interfere with the fight for the throne of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom?”

“I’m not sure. My guess is he’s afraid of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect… The Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland issued a statement in the Wasteland many years ago; no one can interfere with the inheritance of the throne in any Celestial Kingdoms. Offenders will be hunted by the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland! Naturally, this only applies to those who are weaker than the powerhouses in the three Celestial Sects,” Long Fei Yun’s eyes flashed as he said, “I suspected that Brother Pei is a Celestial Duke. It was only until Qiu Ling followed me to meet Brother Pei for the first time that I managed to confirm Brother Pei is, indeed, as strong as a Celestial Duke!”

Upon hearing Long Fei Yun’s words, Duan Ling Tian glanced at Qiu Ling. He discovered the heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial wore a fearful expression on his face when Long Fei Yun spoke about the white-clad young man. It was as though Qiu Ling saw the white-clad young man as a terrifying monster. He thought to himself, ‘How could he be afraid of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland or to interfere with the fight for the throne of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom?’ Based on the white-clad young man’s attitude earlier, it was obvious that the white-clad young man did not care about the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland at all.

Duan Ling Tian looked at Long Fei Yun and changed the subject. He asked, “Do you know if the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland have Royal Grade Celestial Weapons?”

“The Royal Grade Celestial Weapon?” Long Fei Yun was startled when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s question. Then, he smiled wryly before he said, “Brother Duan, you’re overestimating the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland… There’s only one King Grade Celestial Weapon in Tai Yi Celestial Sect. There’s only one King Grade Celestial Weapon in the entire Wasteland, let alone a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon.”

Duan Ling Tian was taken aback by Long Fei Yun’s words. He did not expect that out of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland, only one sect possessed a King Grade Celestial Weapon. He thought to himself, ‘How shabby!’

If Long Fei Yun could read Duan Ling Tian’s mind, he would definitely feel exasperated and think that Duan Ling Tian was being ridiculous. After all, a King Grade Celestial Weapon was so precious. It was not something that ordinary people could easily obtain.

“Thirteenth prince, have you heard of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

“The Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect? Of course, I have!” Long Fei Yun nodded. Then, he asked in confusion, “Why do you ask? Are you related to the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect?”

Duan Ling Tian replied with a straight face, “I heard people mentioned the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect so I’m a little curious… How does the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect compare to the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland?”

“The Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland can’t be compared to the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. They’re not in the same league at all,” Long Fei Yun said, “Take the King Grade Celestial Weapons, for example, only the Taiyi Celestial Sect was lucky enough to obtain one in the early years. The Martial Dragon Celestial Sect and the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect don’t have a single King Grade Celestial Weapon in their sects. However, the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect has a total of three King Grade Celestial Weapons… I heard the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect had just recovered one of their King Grade Celestial Weapons a few years ago.”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened imperceptibly. He knew the King Grade Celestial Weapon that Long Fei Yun said the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect had just recovered was the World Cleansing Horsetail Whisk. The person who found it was none other than Murong Bing, a disciple of the sect, who had sex with him! After he inhaled deeply, he asked, “Thirteenth prince, do you know who found the King Grade Celestial Weapon that the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect lost?”

“I heard Murong Bing is the one who found it. She’s the most outstanding disciple among the younger generation in the Compassionate Traveler Sect… Although Murong Bing is a woman, her talent surpasses many men. Rumor has it that she’s the most likely candidate to take over the mantle of the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect,” Long Fei Yun replied, “It’s a pity that such a great beauty is doomed to a life of asceticism like a Buddhist… Murong Bing is said to be widely acknowledged as the most beautiful woman in the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect.” Long Fei Yun sighed after he finished speaking.

“A life of asceticism?” Duan Ling Tian frowned. “Why do you say so?”

“Brother Duan, the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect is an all-female sect. No man is able to join the sect. Apart from that, the Sect Leader of Compassion Celestial Traveler is strictly forbidden to have any relations with men. This restriction doesn’t apply to normal members of the sect,” Long Fei Yun replied. Then, he asked, “She’s a great beauty, the most beautiful woman in the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect. Don’t you think it would be a pity if she becomes the next Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect?”

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes flashed coldly as he said with a scoff. “There’s no point in her becoming the sect leader!”

“You can’t say that… Although she has to live an ascetic life as the sect leader, her life would be glorious, and her future is boundless. After all, the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect is not an ordinary sect. They’re even more powerful than The Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland!” Long Fei Yun thought Duan Ling Tian could not understand the rules of the Compassion Celestial Traveler Sect. He was, naturally, unaware that Duan Ling Tian said such words because he had already determined the most beautiful woman in the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect was his woman. How could he let his woman devote her life to living like a Buddhist?

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes flashed as a slender figure appeared in his mind. ‘One day, I’ll go to the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect to bring you away. You will not be the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect!’ It seemed like he did not consider if Murong Bing was willing to be taken away.

During the rest of the journey, Duan Ling Tian’s mood seemed a little gloomy. It caused Long Fei Yun and Qiu Ling to feel a little gloomy as well.

In the end, Long Fei Yun could not help but ask in confusion, “Brother Duan… What’s wrong?” If he knew what had transpired between Duan Ling Tian and Murong Bing, he would not have been confused.

It did not take long before the trio finally arrived in the Imperial palace and Long Fei Yun’s residence.

After that, Duan Ling Tian returned to the courtyard where he and Huan’er were staying in.

…

Meanwhile, an old man appeared in the backyard of the fourth prince’s residence. “Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, it seems like the thirteenth prince and that young man with the surname Duan went to see Master Pei.”
