69 Annoyed Ling Tian. (1/2)
Ling Tian saw all the disciples except for Xin Qinyue to get back to their senses.
” Huh? Where is Sir Enforcer?” Du Lingyun asked a bit confused.
The other disciples also chattered about how they suddenly lost their consciousness and all.
Ling Tian took a step forward and said, ” Senior Qinghe left a while ago. He wanted to talk to me privately, so he put you all unconscious.”
” Sir Enforcer did that?” Du Lingyun asked suspiciously. He tried to remember his conversation with Yuan Qinghe and remembered everything(modified by Ling Tian), but he still felt like something was wrong.
” Yeah.” Ling Tian answered.
” What's wrong with Junior Sister Yue?” Du Lingyun asked when he saw Xin Qinyue unconscious in Ling Tian's arms.
” Oh? Don't worry about that. She'll wake up pretty soon.” Ling Tian answered.
Su Xumei came towards Ling Tian and asked, ” Where are you going now, Ling Tian?”
” Hm?” Ling Tian looked surprised for a moment. Then he smiled and answered, ” Of course I'm coming with you to that ruins you're going to. If I'm not there, who'll protect you?”
Su Xumei immediately blushed when she heard what Ling Tian said. Du Lingyun felt rage when he saw how Ling Tian was talking to Su Xumei in such a way.
” You can't come with us.” Du Lingyun said while suppressing his anger.
” Hm? Why not?”
Ling Tian asked and he also felt that Du Lingyun was harbouring hatred for him. But as dense as he is when it comes to common-sense, Ling Tian couldn't understand the reason for Du Lingyun's hatred for him.
” Only those selected by the Spirit Water Sacred Land can participate in this event. And the forty of us are the ones chosen by Spirit Water Sacred Land. No one else other than us can participate in this.” Du Lingyun said.
” .... ” Ling Tian was silent for a moment before asking, ” So what? What does it have anything to do with me accompanying Xumei?”
” Didn't you hear? Only those selected by the -” Du Lingyun was interrupted.
” I think you are getting the wrong idea here. I'm not going to the ruins in the name of the whatever Sacred Land, I'm going there on my own accord.” Ling Tian said.
” .... ” Du Lingyun was stunned. The other disciples were stunned.
” You think you can enter the ruins like that?! Only those selected by the eight Sacred Lands can enter it!” Du Lingyun said in a bit of irritated tone.
” You don't have to worry about that. I can easily enter that ruins.” Ling Tian said with a carefree smile.
Ling Tian wasn't kidding. With the inheritance of Hit, his stealth ability is ungodly. Even if all the Sacred Lands strongest cultivators stand guard for the ruins, Ling Tian can still enter it and they won't even realize it.
Du Lingyun couldn't say anything and was shocked at Ling Tian's 'arrogance'.
” Whatever, but you can't come with us.” Du Lingyun said.
” Hm? Why not?” Ling Tian asked.
” Only the chosen ones can travel in the Spirit Vessel. If you join us, I, as the leader of the group will have to bear the blame.” Du Lingyun said.
” Then, thank you for taking on the blame for me.” Ling Tian said in an appreciative tone.
Du Lingyun was enraged by Ling Tian's carefree attitude, but suddenly a thought came to his mind.
” But, if you can beat me in a duel, you can join our travel.” Du Lingyun said with a smile.
” Hm? Duel?” Ling Tian asked in a surprised tone.
” Sure.” Ling Tian agreed. Why wouldn't he. It's a sure win for Ling Tian anyway.
Du Lingyun was surprised and couldn't help but ask, ” Do you even know my cultivation level?”
” Half-step to Earth Core Realm, right? For someone just twenty two years old to achieve such a cultivation, you really are a 'genius'.” Ling Tian said in a sarcastic tone.
” Why you!!” Du Lingyun growled in annoyance.
The other disciples just stayed silent.
Su Xumei and Yan Zuqing frowned when they saw this. Du Lingyun was acting out of his character. Su Xumei furthermore understood Ling Tian's natural aptitude for irritating others. Even the originally kind and gentle Du Lingyun was now like this. Although she knows that she is also a reason for Du Lingyun to act like this.
Suddenly Ling Tian disappeared from his spot and appeared in front of Du Lingyun and placed an adamant knife on Du Lingyun's neck and said, ” You lose.”
” ?!” Du Lingyun was shocked out of his mind. So were others. They couldn't even see Ling Tian's movement. And Ling Tian was still carrying Xin Qinyue in one of his arm while Little Blue was still clinging to his back. It was a rather comical sight.(It would be funny if they could see someone who can move at a speed of 23 times the speed of light, with mortal cultivation.)
Ling Tian saw that Du Lingyun was not admitting his defeat so he just said, ” Give it up. My cultivation is far, far higher than you. It's not a difference of just one or two sub levels.”
” I... Admit defeat..” Du Lingyun said while clenching his teeth in frustration.
Du Lingyun had proposed the challenge so that he could shame Ling Tian a bit, thinking back, he realized that he couldn't even sense Ling Tian's cultivation level, and he had rashly challenged him. Du Lingyun felt ashamed.
” Hey! You're not gonna go back on your word, right?” Ling Tian asked.
