C243 Did He Think That Master Wouldn't Come?
"Damn, you finally managed to open the door …"
After Jiang Ting finished this sentence, he fell down and lost consciousness.
The middle-aged man who appeared here was indeed Duanmu Haang, but at this moment, Duanmu Haang was frowning. He never would have thought that after waiting for so many years, the first sentence of the person who arrived was actually this. Furthermore, even if he clearly knew his identity, he didn't have the slightest amount of respect for him!
Jiang Ting did not know how long he slept when he suddenly smelled a medicinal fragrance. A very rich medicinal fragrance, and then, he slowly opened his eyes.
What appeared in front of him was a very neat and simple room. In the center of the room was an incense burner, and the medicinal fragrance was coming from this incense burner.
Jiang Ting quickly sat up and realized that there was nothing else in the room.
He vaguely remembered that he had found Duanmu Haang. Thus, Jiang Ting hurriedly shouted, "Owner Duanmu? Is this Master Duanmu's residence?! "
"Heh heh, to my surprise, you're still willing to call me Owner Duanmu?" Jiang Ting had just said this sentence, and it caused a burst of light laughter.
Jiang Ting got off the bed, and Duanmu Haang had already walked in.
"You must be the owner who saved me in time, right?" Jiang Ting immediately bowed slightly.
However, Duanmu Haang sized him up, and ridiculed him: "Is that really what you think in your heart?"
Jiang Ting blinked his eyes, what did this mean? Jiang Ting could not help but look at Duanmu Haang weirdly.
Before Jiang Ting could even ask, Duanmu Haang spoke up first: "Did you forget what you said the moment you saw me in front of my door?"
Jiang Ting naturally remembered, and couldn't help but rub his nose, explaining: "Senior, you really couldn't blame me for that. At that time, I thought I was going to die!"
Duanmu Haang laughed and said: "It's already not easy for you to last until this moment. Actually, I did not open this door for you, but rather, you did your best to open it."
"I cannot easily open this door. Other than this Five Spirit Blood Essence, there is also the keepsake of someone close to me. The reason you were able to come in this time around was because of my daughter's fresh blood." Duanmu Haang said seriously.
Jiang Ting was a little speechless, why did no one tell him about this? I almost killed him!
"Actually, no one knows about that, and you don't need to be depressed. When you reach the deepest part of the cave, you will naturally have this sort of reaction. So, as long as it's someone who truly wants to find me, they will definitely be able to open this lock." Duanmu Haang explained.
Jiang Ting also nodded slightly. He remembered that back then, Duanmu Nuoqing wanted to find her father urgently, and anyone who knew about Duanmu Haang being in the Five Elements Village was already aware that it was no longer a secret. Duanmu Haang had to be careful, there was a lock that even Duanmu Nuoqing didn't know about.
Thinking about it this way, Jiang Ting did not complain, and said respectfully: "Senior Duanmu, it's not like I have nothing to gain from Five Elements Village, but I still need to enter the Slanted Moon Tower, please leave the Five Elements Village with me right now, Miss Duanmu misses you."
"Qing Er …" Duanmu Haang's gaze revealed his longing and love for his daughter, as he recited his daughter's nickname.
But immediately, Duanmu Haang retracted his expression, and spoke to Jiang Ting: "Young Friend Jiang Ting, explain to me the situation outside, when we leave, I need to make some preparations, because today, that disciple of mine has a bet, he must be extremely nervous, if not, he would not intentionally stand outside the Five Elements Village, and talk to me for so long."
Jiang Ting nodded, then introduced the place to Duanmu Haang, knowing what Leng Yan was going to do, as well as the situation with Lunar Treading Taoist Field.
"Alright, it's been so long. I should be going to meet with someone from the Ji Family." Duanmu Haang said with a complicated expression.
When Duanmu Haang said this, there was a sound of "Ding Ding Ding" and a pretty girl appeared at the door.
When the girl appeared, Jiang Ting immediately recognized her, because the agility of the woman was exactly the same as the feeling Duanmu Nuoqing gave off!
The lady smiled and said to Jiang Ting: "You could recognize our Master Duanmu at a glance. Then, can you recognize me?"
"You should be the wife of Master Duanmu." Jiang Ting also bowed towards the beautiful woman.
Unexpectedly, this woman didn't seem happy at all. Her bright red lips twitched as she said unhappily, "You guessed it through Master Duanmu …"
Duanmu Haang laughed, but Jiang Ting's face was filled with shock, you guys are together, shouldn't I guess what it is? It was just that he didn't say it out loud.
The lady suddenly laughed, and said: "I am originally an ordinary girl, I do not wish for others to say that I am climbing onto Duanmu Haang, I more want you to say that I am Qing Er's mother."
Jiang Ting's lips curved up. What a strange woman!
Duanmu Haang shook his head and laughed, then said: "Alright, let's go out and take a look. I think that in this situation, Leng Yan alone, and my precious daughter, might lose out!"
In front of the Slanted Moon Tower Door, things had temporarily returned to normal after two people had started talking about the things they had done. However, right now, Ji Chenxuan was no longer at ease.
The second time he took the initiative to provoke her, he said to Leng Yan: "Brother Leng, I heard that you treat your Junior Sister well, are you planning to marry her?"
When Leng Yan suddenly heard Ji Chenxuan's words, a trace of unnaturalness flashed past his eyes, and Duanmu Nuoqing's small face became even more embarrassed.
However, in this kind of situation, Leng Yan was unable to explain anything, and could only coldly say: "There is no need for sire to worry about my feelings, my master has her own ideas."
Ji Chenxuan laughed and continued to speak: "Listening to Brother Leng's words, could it be that there is some sort of difference between you two?"
"Ji Chenxuan, you don't need to bother with my matters!" When Duanmu Nuoqing saw Ji Chenxuan pestering about this matter, she felt a little awkward, but even more so angry.
Ji Chenxuan raised up an evil laugh, and said to Leng Yan: "Brother Leng, although this is the first time I have seen Miss Duanmu, but, the beauty of Miss Duanmu has really made me fall in love at first sight. Brother Leng, since we have a bet, how about this, if I am lucky enough to win, Miss Duanmu will belong to me, what about it?"
Although this topic was nothing compared to the bet they had just made, it was still extremely exciting to see two people fighting over a woman. Everyone couldn't help but look at these two people with interest.
"How could the marriage of this field master's daughter be related to the training of the Slanted Moon Tower?"
Just when everyone's attention was focused on these two people, a voice that sounded like a great bell suddenly rang out from behind them. This person clearly transmitted his words to everyone's ears.
However, the people were shocked by this person's address. Within the Flame Moon Island, who could so openly claim to be the owner?!
Therefore, including Ji Family's patriarch, Five Spirits Pavilion pavilion master Ji Tianze, a single name had surfaced in their minds, and it was Duanmu Haang!
"Duanmu Haang?!" Ji Tianze couldn't hide his shock and couldn't help but call out Duanmu Haang's name.
Duanmu Haang laughed lightly, and cupped his hands towards Ji Tianze, and said: "Brother Ji, it's been a long time since we last met!"
Ji Tianze never would have thought that Duanmu Haang would suddenly appear, and in that moment, he did not know what to say.
Actually, it was not only Ji Tianze who did this, even Leng Yan did not expect this.
Towards his own disciple, Duanmu Haang was not imposing, but instead smiled with the love of an elder, and said to Leng Yan: "Leng Yan, do you think that master will not come?"
"Cough, cough …" Leng Yan almost choked on his saliva. After taking a deep breath with great difficulty, he said, "master, disciple greets master!" As she spoke, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Leng Yan was very excited in his heart. A moment ago, he had thought that he would be the only one to face such a huge matter; in other words, he would only be able to preserve his Lunar Treading Taoist Field and won't even be able to squeeze out his Ji Family.
However, the door to the Slanted Moon Tower was about to open, and the master actually appeared. This shock was too great, Leng Yan had never been this excited before, so now, after Leng Yan finished saying this sentence, he could no longer say anything else!
"Daddy?!" Seeing Senior Brother Leng call him this, Duanmu Nuoqing knew that this was his own father.
The moment Duanmu Nuoqing was born, she was brought out from the Five Elements Village by Xun Yu and Leng Yan. All these years, ever since she could remember, it had been Jade Seeking Protector and Senior Brother Leng Yan taking care of her, she had never seen her parents before. When Duanmu Nuoqing suddenly realized that this heroic and outstanding man in front of her was her own father, she was so excited that her face had flushed!
In his memory, it was only his daughter's appearance when she was just born. She was taken away without even opening her eyes, and after all these years, he had always been worried about his own daughter. When he saw that his daughter had already grown up and that she was his father, how could he not be excited?
"Qing'er, my daughter!" No matter how many people there were in front of Duanmu Haang, he still called out Duanmu Nuoqing's nickname with a trembling voice. He carried his daughter in his arms, and couldn't hide the smile on his face!
