After separating from Xiao Yu and Luo Qian, Duan Lingtian threw some broken silver and banknotes to Xiong Quan and sent him to stay at an inn.
Alone, I returned to the Li family's mansion.
"Duan Lingtian?"
Along the way, many children of the Li family felt as if they had seen a ghost when they saw Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian is back?
Oh my God, he actually came back from the Devil's Genius Camp!
For a time, the entire Li family was in a sensation.
The fact that Duan Lingtian went to the Iron-Blooded Army Genius Camp has long been spread throughout the Li family, so many people know about it.
However, they did not expect Duan Lingtian to come back alive.
What does coming back alive mean...
Everyone understands.
It means that Duan Lingtian has obtained the admission qualification of ‘Shengwu Academy’!
Shengwu Academy, the most sacred existence in the Chixiao Kingdom, is so out of reach for every child of the Li family.
Now, someone from the Li family has obtained admission to the Shengwu Academy...
This is undoubtedly exciting news!
In the quiet courtyard, a graceful and beautiful girl is practicing her sword. The blade of the sword is moving, and a trace of cold breath is exuding...
Suddenly, the girl sheathed her sword and stood up. She glanced at the two small pythons on her wrists and sighed, "The young master has been away for a year and a month, why haven't he come back yet? Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai, do you miss him?"
"
"Of course they don't think so of me."
At this moment, a familiar voice came from the girl's ears, causing her delicate body to tremble and she slowly turned around.
"My Kerr has grown up."
Duan Lingtian looked at the slim girl in front of him. The girl had grown taller, and the childish look on her pretty face had lost a bit...
There is no better way for women to change than this!
"Master!"
The girl's eyes were slightly red. At this moment, all the red tape was forgotten in her mind. She quickly moved her lotus steps and rushed towards Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian opened his hands, hugged the girl into his arms, smelled the fresh fragrance of the girl's hair, and said softly: "Ke'er, I'm back!"
The girl nodded, unwilling to leave Duan Lingtian's arms for a long time.
How she wished this moment could last forever...
Crunch!
At this moment, the door of the room not far away was opened.
"Tian'er is back?"
The radiant and beautiful woman walked out slowly, a hint of excitement flashed in her autumn eyes...
"Mom, I'm back!"
Duan Lingtian looked at the woman with a soft light in his eyes.
The girl was so embarrassed that she left Duan Lingtian's arms, "Husband... Madam!"
"Silly girl, you're still shy."
Li Rou shook her head and smiled.
"That's right, Ke'er, you are my unmarried wife, there is nothing to be ashamed of."
Duan Lingtian also said.
One year has passed, and my mother Li Rou has not changed much. She is still as beautiful and charming as ever. She is not the mother of a seventeen-year-old boy at all.
"Bad guy!"
Suddenly, there was an excited voice outside the hospital.
Duan Lingtian turned around and saw the fiery figure flying in, bumping into his arms and beating his chest, "You scoundrel, you won't come back to see me, if I wasn't
I heard from others, but I didn’t know you were back.”
"Xiao Feier."
After not seeing each other for a year, Li Fei has become more mature, exuding charm all the time, which made Duan Lingtian's little brother who had been silent for more than a year react.
Li Fei also felt it, her face turned red, and then she realized that there were Ke'er and Li Rou beside her, and hurriedly left Duan Lingtian's arms.
"Aunt Rou, sister Ke'er."
Li Fei said hello to Li Rou and Keer, and was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and crawl in...
"Tian'er, you've been traveling all day, are you hungry? Mom is going to prepare something to eat for you."
Li Rou entered the kitchen and got busy.
Kerr also followed in.
At this time, Li Fei looked at Duan Lingtian, "Are you..."
"Meet grandpa, right?"
Duan Lingtian interrupted Li Fei's words, as if he could see through Li Fei's mind.
Li Fei nodded lightly.
"Of course I want to see you. I haven't been back for more than a year, and I miss my grandpa too... Besides, you are already mine, so naturally I have to fulfill my filial piety to grandpa with you."
Duan Lingtian took Li Fei's hand and squeezed her palm.
Seeing Li De again, Duan Lingtian didn't know if it was his illusion or something else. When Li De saw him, he breathed a sigh of relief, as if a big stone had fallen from his heart...
Could it be that he is worried that something will happen to him during the training at the talent camp?
Duan Lingtian didn't think much about it.
"grandfather."
Duan Lingtian smiled at the old man.
"It's good to be back. What are your plans in the future?"
Li De asked.
At this time, Duan Lingtian discovered that there was a little more expectation in Li De's eyes.
"Grandpa, I'm going to leave in a few days. This time, I plan to take my mother, Ke'er, and Xiao Feier with me to the Imperial City...Grandpa, you can go with us too."
Duan Lingtian expressed his plan.
Just as Teng Yunhai, the commander of the Iron Blood Army, said that day, if he took his family and his family to the imperial city in a carriage, stopping and resting along the way, it would take nearly a year.
Therefore, when he came back this time, he didn't plan to stay long.
"I won't go. I will stay in the Li family for the rest of my life."
The old man shook his head.
"Grandpa, if you don't go, I won't go either."
Li Fei pouted and said coquettishly.
"Fei'er, you have grown up and are no longer the little girl you used to be. Grandpa believes that Lingtian boy will be good to you. Even if you leave, can you come back and visit grandpa when you have time? Don't worry, grandpa is still here.
Not old enough to need help."
The old man's face was full of doting.
"grandfather."
Li Fei's eyes were slightly red.
Duan Lingtian's eyes were always on the old man's face. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it for a while.
"Grandpa, let's have dinner together tonight."
After taking a look at the darkening sky, Duan Lingtian said to the old man.
"Okay, I will come to your house for a meal today."
The old man laughed and said, "It's just a good time to ask you about the training at the Jagged Army Genius Camp. I'm also very curious about the training at the Genius Camp."
Today's dinner was particularly lively.
Except for the old man who is interested in things about the genius camp, Ke'er, Li Fei and Li Rou are also very interested.
Duan Lingtian then told everything he had experienced in the genius camp over the past year, except for some more dangerous things.
When talking about the deaths of Meng Quan and Luo Cheng, Duan Lingtian let out a long sigh.
"In this life, you will eventually die. In this life, life and death are indispensable. Just be open-minded... Moreover, you have helped Luo Cheng fulfill his wish. Even if he knew it, he should rest in peace."
The old man has gone through many vicissitudes of life and has the most say, comforting him.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I can still tolerate this."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"Ninety-eight people passed the examination of the Genius Camp, and only seven survived in the end... The Devil's Genius Camp is indeed well-deserved."
Li Fei sighed.
"Mom, you and Ke'er will tidy up in the next two days. I've decided to set off for the Imperial City in three days."
After finishing dinner and seeing off the old man and Li Fei, Duan Lingtian said to Li Rou.
Li Rou nodded. She had been prepared for it, so she was not surprised.
Then, Duan Lingtian teased the two little pythons, "Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai... I haven't seen you for more than a year. Has your strength improved? You're not still standing still, are you?"
As if they understood Duan Lingtian's words, the two little pythons raised their heads proudly and nodded to Duan Lingtian.
At this time, Duan Lingtian discovered that the horns on Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai's heads were now almost fully revealed.
"It seems that you have also made great progress."
Duan Lingtian can guess from the changes in the appearance of the two small pythons that their strength has improved...
The improvement of a ferocious beast's strength is usually accompanied by changes in its appearance.
This is the experience of reincarnated Emperor Wu.
Early the next morning.
Just after dinner, Duan Lingtian received an uninvited guest at his home.
Patriarch ‘Li Ao’!
"Duan Lingtian, congratulations."
Li Ao had a bright smile on his face.
"Thank you, patriarch."
Duan Lingtian responded with a smile.
"This is the intention of our Li family... I hope that when you go to Shengwu Academy in the future, you will not forget that you are a member of the Li family."
Li Ao said and handed a large stack of banknotes to Duan Lingtian.
"Patriarch, I am not someone who forgets my roots... Actually, why are you so polite?"
Although Duan Lingtian said this, he still stretched out his hand to take the banknotes and weighed them. These banknotes were at least two million taels.
He naturally understood what Li Ao was thinking, which was to win him over early and make him return to his heart.
In this way, if he becomes famous in the future, the Li family will be able to rise to heaven together.
"This money will help you a little now, but in the future it will be just a drop in the bucket."
Li Ao sighed.
As long as someone graduates from Shengwu Academy, there is no such thing as a "mediocre person", everyone is a big shot in the party.
No matter how bad it is, there is still an official position.
By then, in terms of status, it will be far beyond what he, the patriarch of the Li family, can match.
"No matter what, I still want to thank the patriarch for providing help in times of need."
Duan Lingtian smiled.
"When are you going to the Imperial City?"
Li Ao asked.
"I plan to leave the day after tomorrow."
Duan Lingtian said.
"So urgent?"
Li Ao was surprised.
"If I were to ride on horseback alone, it would only take a few months... But this time, I want to take my mother with me and prepare to travel in a carriage instead."
Duan Lingtian said again.
"In that case, leave the carriage to me."
Li Ao said.
"Thank you very much, patriarch."
Duan Lingtian had a smile on his face and expressed his sincere gratitude.
After seeing off Li Ao, Duan Lingtian left the Li family's mansion and went to the medicine shop to meet Tang Ying.
"You kid, you finally came back alive."
Tang Ying laughed and cursed.
"I think you wish I couldn't come back, right?"
Duan Lingtian gave Tang Ying a roll of his eyes.
"When are you ready to leave?"
Tang Ying asked the same question as Li Ao.
"That's exactly what I came to tell you about. I plan to leave the day after tomorrow."
Duan Lingtian smiled.
"If you leave, you will definitely take that girl with you. What should I do with the Six Treasure Tempering Liquid?"
Tang Ying stared at Duan Lingtian with burning eyes, "How about you sell me the prescription?"
"Not for sale!"
Duan Lingtian answered very simply.
Although he had already guessed this answer, Tang Ying couldn't help but smile bitterly.
