Seeing how stubborn Li Qing was, the crowd denounced him again.

"Li Qing is really crazy!"

"The patriarch obviously wants to suppress this matter, but he still keeps nagging about punishing anyone else."

"If the great elder knew that his grandson treated him like this after his death, I don't know how he would feel..."

"Yes, even if the Great Elder really wants to kill Duan Lingtian, it will be for his sake. The Great Elder has such a grandson, even if he is under the influence of Jiuquan, I am afraid he will not rest in peace."

"Tsk! It's a shame that I let my son worship him as his idol in the past. I'm really blind."

"You should let your son regard Duan Lingtian as his idol. He is the number one person in this "Qianlong Ranking". Moreover, he is only sixteen years old. In the next two "Qianlong Rankings", he will undoubtedly be the number one.

.”

…

While condemning, I did not forget to compare Duan Lingtian and Li Qing.

It's better not to compare.

At first glance, Li Qing was even more trampled on.

"I didn't expect you to be so popular now."

Li Fei looked at Duan Lingtian.

"So, you are lucky to be my wife."

Duan Lingtian chuckled.

"Pooh!"

Li Fei noticed that Kerr was looking at her with a smile, and immediately blushed with embarrassment.

"Master, shall I be called Miss Feifei from now on?"

Kerr smiled.

"Ke'er, you were led astray by him."

Li Fei's already rosy cheeks seemed to be dripping with blood.

Duan Lingtian couldn't help but laugh.

Sudden.

He frowned.

"Duan Lingtian, I will come to your house to find you in an hour."

This is the Yuanli sound condensation method used by Li Ao, the patriarch of the Li family, and only Duan Lingtian can hear it.

Duan Lingtian glanced at Li Ao and nodded slightly.

He is mentally prepared.

Even though Li Ao felt that this matter had nothing to do with him, Li Qing said that if the Li family wanted to find the murderer, they would use him as a breakthrough point to look for clues.

The crowd in the martial arts arena in the outer courtyard gradually dispersed.

"Let's go out for a walk. I have some things I want to buy."

Li Fei suggested.

"I'm afraid I can't accompany you anymore."

Duan Lingtian smiled apologetically.

Li Fei frowned and said dissatisfied: "What's the matter with you?"

"The patriarch just told me with his Yuanli Condensation that he will come to my house to look for me in an hour... You don't want me to let the patriarch go, right?"

Duan Lingtian smiled bitterly.

"What?! The patriarch is looking for you? He doesn't really think you killed the great elder, does he?"

Li Fei hesitated.

Ke'er on the side also looked worried.

"Don't worry, the clan leader probably just wants to ask me if I have any clues to provide. Li Qing said that I can kill the great elder, but you don't believe it, let alone the clan leader."

Duan Lingtian didn't care.

An hour later.

The clan leader, Li Ao, arrived as promised.

Duan Lingtian entertained him in his courtyard.

"Duan Lingtian, I know that with your strength, it is absolutely impossible to be the murderer of the Great Elder. However, since the Great Elder followed you, have you ever seen him?"

Li Ao got straight to the point.

Regarding Duan Lingtian, he also felt very complicated.

I thought Duan Lingtian was stronger than Li Qing.

Who knows.

At the genius gathering, he even defeated Lin Zhuo from the Lin family and Xiao Yu from the Xiao family.

Forget it about Lin Zhuo.

Xiao Yu is not only the number one genius in the Xiao family in a century, but also the number one genius in Aurora City in the past century.

Even he, the patriarch of the Li family, often sighs.

It would be great if Xiao Yu was from the Li family.

Now, Duan Lingtian's defeat of Xiao Yu really gave him a big surprise.

The most important thing is that Duan Ling is only sixteen years old.

He is two years younger than Xiao Yu.

It is conceivable that when Duan Lingtian turns eighteen, his strength will be even stronger, leaving his peers far behind.

"Clan Leader, I know what you mean. However, I entered the misty forest and hunted ferocious beasts with all my heart, but I didn't find anything wrong, and I never saw the Great Elder. Moreover, with the Great Elder's strength, if he wanted to track me

, I can’t possibly find out.”

When Duan Lingtian talked about it later, he looked self-deprecating.

"I understand this, and I'm just asking as a rule. Also, even if you can't find the Great Elder, there's no need to worry... He is, after all, a Yuandan realm warrior. With your talent, you will definitely be able to surpass him before the age of thirty.

.”

Li Ao nodded slightly and comforted him at the same time.

"I will work hard."

Duan Lingtian nodded, his eyes as firm as iron.

"Also... I hope you won't mind what happened last time. I did it for the sake of the Li family's face."

Li Ao hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

In his eyes.

The Duan Lingtian of today is no longer the Duan Lingtian of the past.

Being able to rank first on the "Hidden Dragon List" at the age of sixteen...

This is the first time such an achievement has appeared since the "Hidden Dragon List" appeared in Aurora City.

Duan Lingtian can be said to have set a precedent.

Nowadays, even if Duan Lingtian is only a child of a branch clan with a foreign surname, he still deserves the attention of the Li family.

"The patriarch is too worried."

Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled.

"These silver taels are a little tribute from the family."

Li Ao took out a stack of banknotes from his arms, placed them on the table, and said with a smile.

"Clan leader, this is..."

Duan Lingtian was stunned.

These banknotes are all banknotes of the largest denomination, one is 10,000 taels.

This thick stack is estimated to cost about one million taels.

"In this edition of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, you have won glory for the family. This is the reward given to you by the family... I have already said hello to the three elders of the family. If you need to refine medicine or something,

, you can pay for the materials at your own expense and let them help you refine it, and they won’t charge you a penny.”

Li Ao smiled.

No. 1 on the "Hidden Dragon List". No one in the Li family has won such an honor in the past ten years.
