4349 The Meeting Between the Two Senior Brothers and Their Junior Brother

In the Divine Offering Land’s Xia clan.

With the arrival of the duo from the Myriad Laws Academy’s Inner Palace faction, the atmosphere turned heavy.

At this moment, a handsome boy from the Xia clan looked at the two figures in the distance who were being led into the Xia clan by a member of the clan. He murmured, “Are those two Duan Ling Tian’s senior brothers?”

As soon as these words were spoken, a middle-aged man standing next to the boy smacked the boy’s head and rebuked, “What Duan Ling Tian? Brat, don’t address Young Master by his name!”

The boy’s face turned pale in pain as he said aggrievedly, “Yes, father.”

When the boy recovered from the pain, the aggrieved expression on his face was replaced with admiration and longing as he said, “I heard that Young Master has been acknowledged as the strongest person among the young prodigy in the God Defying World. It’ll be great if I can achieve half of his achievements at his age!”

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man, who was the boy’s father, only remained silent. He felt that his son was getting carried away. At the same time, he thought to himself, ‘When we return, I’ll have to give him a spanking to keep him grounded. When I was his age, I wasn’t as unaware as he is. Let alone a monstrous prodigy like Duan Ling Tian, I didn’t even dare to think that I could be as half as capable as our clan leader…’

…

If it were in the past, the Xia clan would have also welcomed the duo from the Myriad Laws Academy’s Inner Palace faction when they visited, but it was impossible for Xia Yu, the Clan Leader of the Xia clan, to personally welcome them. However, currently, Xia Yu had already acknowledged Duan Ling Tian as his son-in-law even if Duan Ling Tian did not want to have anything to do with him now. As such, he came to welcome his son-in-law’s two senior brothers in the Myriad Laws Academy’s Inner Palace faction and treated them as distinguished guests.

“Greetings, Clan Leader Xia. I’m Yang Yu Chen.”

“Greetings, Clan Leader Xia. I’m Hong Yi Feng.”

Yang Yu Chen and Hong Yi Feng well flattered that Xia Yu came to welcome them in person. They did not expect to be treated so well in the Xia clan. Then, the two exchanged a glance discreetly as they wondered if the rumor of their junior brother being the Young Master of the Xia clan was true. However, based on Xia Yu’s treatment, it seemed like Xia Ning Xue, the Eldest Young Miss of the Xia clan, was indeed their junior brother’s wife.

After exchanging greetings, Xia Yu told the duo about his daughter choosing to reincarnate to escape from her arranged marriage and the series of events that happened after she returned to the Xia clan in this life.

Upon learning that Ke’er had fallen into a coma due to the restraint placed on her soul by a supreme powerhouse from the Blood Specter World, the duo’s expressions darkened.

“Both of you should go and meet your junior brother. He’s leaving soon,” Xia Yu said. He did not keep the duo for long. Duan Ling Tian was unaware of the duo’s arrival. If he knew, he would definitely be overjoyed.

“Leave?”

Yang Yu Chen and Hong Yi Feng were startled when they heard Xia Yu’s words.

Xia Yu nodded. “Mm. I haven’t told you about his current situation, but I’m sure you’re aware of it. In any case, I plan to ask our clan’s ancestor to return in person so he could open a spatial passage that’ll allow him to enter the turbulent space and go to the Outer Boundary. If he leaves through our clan’s Outer Boundary, I’m afraid he’ll be targeted by the supreme powerhouse guarding the other side of the Transportation Formation because of the divine fountain.”

Yang Yu Chen and Hong Yi Feng fell silent upon hearing this. It seemed like their junior brother did not have much of a choice. His only other choice was to stay in the Xia clan’s estate.

Yang Yu Chen, who was more familiar with Duan Ling Tian, knew that Duan Ling Tian definitely would not choose to stay in the Xia clan.

The divine fountain was a great treasure, but it took time to absorb it. However, one did not have to consciously cultivate after absorbing it. After absorbing into one’s body, one’s body would automatically digest it. However, if one fought, the speed of digestion would accelerate. It’s also for this reason that the divine fountain was such a coveted treasure even by supreme powerhouses.

“Let’s go and see junior brother first,” Yang Yu Chen said to Hong Yi Feng before he said to Xia Yu, “Clan Leader Xia, please ask someone to lead us to him.”

“I’ll bring you to him,” Xia Yu said. He did not put on airs at all in front of the duo and was more like a kind elder to them.

As such, Yang Yu Chen and Hong Yi Feng’s impression of Xia Yu was rather good. However, they also knew that Xia Yu’s friendliness had everything to do with their junior brother. With their junior brother’s talent, how could Xia Yu be dissatisfied with their junior brother?

…

Duan Ling Tian did not expect to meet his Third Senior Brother, Yang Yu Chen, in the Divine Offering Land’s Xia clan at all. He was naturally surprised.

Yang Yu Chen smiled brightly when he saw Duan Ling Tian. He did not forget to introduce Hong Yi Feng to Duan Ling Tian. He said, “Junior brother, this is our Second Senior Brother.”

After greeting Yang Yu Chen, Duan Ling Tian cupped his fists together at Hong Yi Feng. “Greetings, Second Senior Brother. I’m Duan Ling Tian.”

Although this was Duan Ling Tian’s first time meeting Hong Yi Feng, his Second Senior Brother, he had heard about Hong Yi Feng from Lang Chun Yuan, his Fourth Senior Sister. As such, he knew that Hong Yi Feng was a kind person. According to Lang Chun Yuan, Hong Yi Feng was not as cunning as Yang Yu Chen and had never deceived her.

Hong Yi Feng laughed and said, “I heard from Third Junior Brother that you’re very handsome. After meeting you today, it seems like he didn’t lie to me. If Eldest Senior Sister knows that we have a junior brother like you in our Inner Palace faction, she’ll definitely be overjoyed.”

Although it was their first meeting, Hong Yi Feng was not reserved at all. As such, Duan Ling Tian felt that Hong Yi Feng was very easygoing.

However, Yang Yu Chen, who was standing next to Hong Yi Feng, knew that Hong Yi Feng was only easygoing and friendly to the members of the Inner Palace faction. He was rather hot-tempered when faced with outsiders and would kill those who offended him or the members of the Inner Palace faction. He was very protective of the members of the faction after all. In the past, someone had bullied Yang Yu Chen. At that time, Hong Yi Feng went to the other party’s sect and almost annihilated the sect.

The junior brother and two senior brothers chatted very happily.

At some point, Duan Ling Tian asked Yang Yu Chen why Yang Yu Chen failed to rank in the intermediate Supreme God ranking and learned that Yang Yu Chen and Hong Yi Feng both failed to rank in the ranking because they were busy looking for him. He was usually very calm, but he could not help but feel moved when he heard Yang Yu Chen’s reply. After all, his two senior brothers gave up on the rewards of the intermediate Supreme God ranking for him. Moreover, the reward was liquid from the divine fountain! He was not sure if his two senior brothers would be able to rank in the top three, but he was certain they would have no problem ranking in the top ten.

“Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother…”

Duan Ling Tian did not hesitate and quickly brought out the liquid from the divine fountain, intending to share it with the duo.

The duo refused initially, but after Duan Ling Tian persuaded them, they finally agreed to take a small amount of liquid from the divine fountain.

Before meeting Duan Ling Tian, Yang Yu Chen and Hong Yi Feng had conversations about asking Duan Ling Tian to give them some liquid from the divine fountain. However, after meeting Duan Ling Tian, they did not hesitate to refuse him. After all, they had been joking with each other previously. However, since Duan Ling Tian was adamant that they accept the liquid from the divine fountain, they finally acquiesced and only took a little.

After giving the duo some liquid from the divine fountain, Duan Ling Tian said solemnly, “Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother… News of me being in the Xia clan has spread. I’m sure those people also know that the two of you visited the Xia clan. They’ll definitely be able to guess that I’ve given you some liquid from the divine fountain. You have to be careful.”

Duan Ling Tian was worried that the liquid from the divine fountain would bring trouble to his two senior brothers.

Upon seeing the worried expression on Duan Ling Tian’s face, Yang Yu Chen and Hong Yi Feng shook their heads and smiled.

“Don’t worry. It won’t take much time for us to absorb the liquid from the divine fountain! At most, we’ll absorb it in the Xia clan. If we absorb the liquid, those people have no reason to target us anymore. If they don’t believe us, we’ll just ignore the weak ones and show the strong ones our spatial rings or even our Little Worlds to prove our words. However, if they really dare to look into our spatial rings and Little Worlds, we’ll definitely commit them to our memories. We might not be a match for them now, but it won’t be the case in the future…”

Hong Yi Feng’s eyes flashed coldly while Yang Yu Chen sneered.

If someone was so ignorant as to look through their spatial rings and Little Worlds, they would definitely not let go of the offense.

Duan Ling Tian felt relieved after hearing those words. He said, “That’s a good idea. I’ll stop worrying then…”

Yang Yu Chen said with a smile, “Junior brother, your father-in-law seems to be very satisfied with you. When Second Senior Brother and I arrived, he personally welcomed us and led us here.”

Duan Ling Tian smiled upon hearing these words. Before his two senior brothers arrived, he had learned of Xia Yu’s past difficulties and his burdens as the Clan Leader of the Xia clan from Xia Jie, the Third Master of the Xia clan. However, it did not mean he was ready to accept Xia Yu as his father-in-law.

Although Duan Ling Tian could understand Xia Yu’s difficulties and burdens, he could not understand how a father could sacrifice his daughter’s lifelong happiness for the sake of the clan. If it were him, he would never do such a thing. He knew that this did not mean that Xia Yu was a bad person, but it did not change the fact that he disagreed with Xia Yu’s actions.
