2746 The Selection Day Is NearAfter he had sex with Murong Bing, Duan Ling Tian had already considered his woman. She could only be his woman! Now that Zhou Shu Qiu revealed the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect had arranged for Murong Bing to be married off, his expression turned stormy. He stared at Zhou Shu Qiu and asked in a low voice, “Is it true?”“Is what true?” Zhou Shu Qiu asked, feigning ignorance.

“Is it true that the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect arranged a marriage for Murong Bing?” Duan Ling Tian repeated his question more precisely.

“Why would I lie to you?” Zhou Shu Qing asked in return. A rather peculiar expression appeared on her face as she said, “Why do I feel like you’re particularly agitated when I said the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect has arranged an intermarriage for Murong Bing? You’re the man who took her virginity, aren’t you? However, it’s quite unlikely. You’re so weak, how could she have taken a liking to you?” She shook her head when she finished speaking.

Duan Ling Tian only scoffed before he turned to leave. Inwardly, flames of fury rose in his heart. He swore to himself, ‘If the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect dares to arrange an intermarriage for my woman, I’ll destroy the entire sect!’ He could not wait to get stronger so he could bring Murong Bing away from the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect!

Duan Ling Tian was not worried that Zhou Shu Qiu would kill him because he had left in such a manner. He did not care if she knew he did not come from a powerful sect outside the Wasteland. After all, he knew someone would stop her if she tried to kill him. The person was none other than the white-clad young man, Brother Pei. The man with the name Pei had passed his Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, the Mystical Yang Nine Water Chestnut Ring, to him. Moreover, the white-clad young man also wanted him to look for the corresponding Celestial Weapon in a small world left behind by a Celestial King. Naturally, the white-clad young man would, at least, protect him until he retrieved the Mystical Yin Nine Water Chestnut Ring in the small world. After meeting the white-clad young man, he knew he had found a temporary lifesaver. The lifesaver was so strong that even the Imperial family of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom could not against him, let alone a mere Zhou Shu Qiu.

“He’s rather grumpy…” Zhou Shu Qiu did not stop Duan Ling Tian from leaving. Instead, a small smile could be seen on her face. “He seems to be concerned about Bing’er. He’s quite responsible as well. Unfortunately, he’s a womanizer. If Bing’er finds out that he’s with another woman, I wonder what she’d think…” An expression of dissatisfaction gradually grew on her face as she watched Duan Ling Tian’s retreating back.

…

As soon as Duan Ling Tian returned to the group, he called out, “Huan’er! I want to continue cultivating. Do you want to return with me or do you want to continue shopping with the thirteenth prince?” His mind was only filled with cultivation at this moment. He hoped Huan’er would return with him since she could provide him with a superior cultivation environment using her Divine Crystal. Although the cultivation environment in Long Fei Yun’s residence was good, it was incomparable to the Divine Crystal.

“Brother Ling Tian, I’ll return with you,” Huan’er replied without skipping a beat even though she did not know the reason for Duan Ling Tian’s sudden change. After all, she was happy because of his presence. It would not be the same if she was with someone else.

Along with Long Fei Yun and Qiu Ling, Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er left in a hurry.

Long Fei Yun was confused and curious. Why did Duan Ling Tian suddenly want to cultivate after speaking to Zhou Shu Qiu, the fourth miss of the Zhou clan? ‘What did she say to Brother Duan?’

During their journey back, Duan Ling Tian suddenly decided to meet the white-clad young man, Brother Pei. However, he sent Huan’er back along with the other two first.

When Duan Ling Tian saw the white-clad young man, he said solemnly, “Brother Pei, I hope you can do me a favor.”

The white-clad young man sat at the stone table in the middle of the courtyard as he drank from his teacup. He glanced at Duan Ling Tian who was standing nearby and asked, “What’s it?”

“I hope you can help me stop the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect from marrying their disciple, Murong Bing, off even if you have to force!” Duan Ling Tian said in a low voice as his eyes flashed fiercely. He did not know when Murong Bing was going to get married, but he knew it was unlikely he would be able to personally stop it for now. For this reason, he thought about the white-clad young man. Although he was not certain of the white-clad young man’s strength, he knew the white-clad young man possessed a Royal Grade Weapon while the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect only had three King Grade Celestial Weapons. For this reason, he was certain the white-clad young man was capable of stopping the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect.

“Oh?” The white-clad young man put the teacup and looked at Duan Ling Tian meaningfully. “What’s your relationship with Murong Bing, the disciple of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect? Why do you want to stop the sect from marrying her off?”

“She is my woman!” Duan Ling Tian replied bluntly.

“If I don’t help you, are you going to refuse to retrieve the Mystical Yin Nine Water Chestnut Ring for me?” the white-clad young man asked as he looked at Duan Ling Tian intently.

“Of course, not.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head. “They are two different matters. Since we’ve made a promise, and you’ve given me the Concealment Pendant, I won’t go back on my words. This is a completely different matter.”

“If I help you, what will I get in return?” the white-clad young man asked like a businessman making a deal.

“I’ll do anything you request of me as long as it’s within my capability.” Duan Ling Tian promised.

“Isn’t that just like trying to gain something with nothing?” The white-clad young man smiled indifferently. “Do you think you’ll be able to do something if I can’t even deal with it?”

When Duan Ling Tian heard the white-clad young man’s words, he had no retort. Regardless of how unwilling was, he had to admit the white-clad young man was much stronger than him. If the white-clad young man had a matter he could not deal with, how could someone like Duan Ling Tian who was far weaker be able to solve it? Should he tell the white-clad young man that he had 99 Heavenly Veins, hence, a bright future ahead? However, that was also like trying to gain something with nothing. After all, who knew if he would die before he realized his potential. It seemed like he was in a hopeless situation.

The white-clad young man finally said after a long pause, “Well, I’ll do my best to help you, but I can’t promise anything. After all, I don’t know what force the marriage partner is from…”

“As long as Brother Pei is willing to help… I appreciate it very much,” Duan Ling Tian said, “It might not mean much, but what I said stands. I’ll do what’s requested as long as it’s within my capabilities.” After he finished speaking, he bade farewell to the white-clad young man.

“What an interesting guy.” After Duan Ling Tian left, the white-clad young man smiled faintly. He narrowed his eyes and murmured to himself, “He seems to be a loving person.” At this moment, his expression turned gloomy. He was once loving and affectionate too. Unfortunately, he and his companion did not have much luck together. In the end, he could only take back the Royal Grade Celestial Weapon he had given her to console her spirit in heaven…

…

Although the white-clad young man had promised to help, Duan Ling Tian did not slack in his cultivation. As soon as he returned to Long Fei Yun’s residence in the Imperial palace, he began to cultivate immediately. It seemed like he was not going to stop until he became a Violet Sun Golden Celestial.

…

Time flew by.

The day the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom’s Imperial family to select participants for the Martial Competition of the Wasteland was drawing closer and closer. Many people began to flock to the capital making the capital even busier. Most of these visitors were from the major Mansions under the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. A small number of visitors only came to join in the fun. Even if they could not personally witness the selection, since they were in the capital, they would receive the result of the selection immediately.

…

Duan Ling Tian was unaware of what was happening outside since he was immersed in his closed-door cultivation.

During the time when he entered closed-door cultivation, something worth mentioning had happened in the capital of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. The fourth prince, Long Xiang Yun, no longer dared to provoke Duan Ling Tian when Zhou Shu Dong, the fourth miss of the Zhou clan, told him that there was no doubt that Duan Ling Tian came from a powerful sect outside the Wasteland. How could he dare to provoke Duan Ling Tian when even his cousin, the last disciple of the former Sect Leader of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect dared not? He was not the type to seek death.

Alas, Long Xiang Yun was unaware that Zhou Shu Qiu was only being merciful to Duan Ling Tian when she told Zhou Shu Dong not to look for trouble with Duan Ling Tian. It was not because he came from a powerful sect outside the Wasteland. She had only helped him because her best friend was Murong Bing, the disciple of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect!
