"Haha…Sister Lise, congratulations! This is a small gift from our Nalan family. I hope you can accept it.”Young Master Nalan walked to Lise's side and cupped his hands in congratulations. At the same time, his servant immediately presented the gift he had prepared.
"Young Master Nalan, you've already given me a lot of face by coming. Why did you bring a gift?”Lise didn't have the slightest trace of arrogance. She bowed respectfully, and her every move was like a noble.
"That's right! Young Master Nalan, it's good that you're here. Let's have a good chat. We haven't chatted for a long time!" Tilly Cocus from Count Cocus's Palace said.
"Yes, I am!"
"Yes, I am!"
………………
It turned out that this Young Master Nalan was called Ian Nalan. He was born in an illustrious family. His father, Perth Nalan, was currently one of the three great commanders of the Wind and Fire Empire. His grandfather, Credenalan, had the reputation of being a legend in the army. He held the position of the Empire's Marshal and was in charge of the entire country's military forces. He was an extremely important official. Not only was Ian Naran a prominent figure, but he was also handsome and had a unique aristocratic aura. Not long ago, he had broken through from a high-level warrior to a silver-level powerhouse, so he had always been liked by aristocratic girls. They were proud to be able to dance with him at all kinds of balls.
While they were chatting, another 16-year-old man in blue walked over."Cousin, congratulations! Uh, Young Master Nalan is here too!"
"Cousin, you're here too! Aren't you studying at the Heavenly Star Academy?”Liz bowed slightly in return.
"So it's Chadkel. He came here today to congratulate his cousin!”Yin En called out.
"The academy was too boring, so I took leave and rushed over. " Hehe…" Chadkol was Desker's grandson. He had been idle since he was young. Desker had no choice but to force him to go to the Heavenly Star Academy to learn martial arts when he was fifteen years old. He hoped that he would restrain his temper in school and make some progress after five years, so that he could make some contributions to the family.
"Yi En, Lise, if you think about it carefully, you'll be entering the Heavenly Star Academy in a month's time. There are indeed many interesting things there. Oh, I almost forgot. Ian is a Silver rank expert. Once he enters the academy, he will be a famous figure.”Yin En teased.
"You're too polite, Chade. Don't you know that your cousin Lise is also a High Mage? I probably won't be a match for him."
"Really?"
"Really?"
The people nearby were all shocked. Could it be another fifteen-year-old expert?
"Young Master Nalan is too modest!" Although Liz did not answer directly, everyone present could tell that she was indeed a Magic Shooter. Thus, there was another wave of praise, and Liz was enjoying it in her heart. Her entire face was filled with smiles as she looked at Ling Tian, full of pride and pride.
"By the way, cousin, what's wrong with that beggar over there?”
"A beggar?"
"That's the table over there with the kid in the farmer's clothes who can't stop eating.”
"Grandpa brought him back.”
"Grandpa brought it back? Why did he bring a beggar back to sully our Duke's Mansion? No, I have to chase him out so that he won't affect your banquet.”
Liz was worried that no one would help her vent her anger, and she was afraid that her grandfather and father would scold her. This time, someone came to stand up for her, so she was naturally happy, but she pretended to postpone it."That's not good. He was brought here by grandfather.”
"I'm fine! I'll take care of everything." Chadkel patted his chest and guaranteed. Nalan also wanted to ask about Ling Tian's background, but he couldn't bring himself to do so. Now that Delin went to cause trouble, he could also find out about Ling Tian's background, so he didn't stop him.
Thus, they walked over. Delin walked to Ling Tian's table and pointed at his nose,""Little beggar, why have you come to our duke's residence?”
Ling Tian ignored him and slowly poured himself a cup of wine. After eating some snacks, he downed the wine in one gulp.
"Did you hear that?" Seeing that the little beggar was ignoring him, he felt that he had lost face and raised his voice to shout. This loud noise attracted the attention of the entire hall. Dlinders, George, and his wife quickly came out to see what was going on.
"Don't disturb me, get lost!" A cold and emotionless voice rang out from Ling Tian's mouth, clearly entering everyone's ears.
When had he ever suffered such humiliation from a beggar-like person? If he didn't teach him a lesson, how could he survive among the nobles? He would be laughed at by others.
"Wild brat, say it again if you have the guts.”
"If you don't get lost, I'll kill you!" Ling Tian's eyes were locked onto Richard as his aura pressed down on him.
From Ling Tian's murderous gaze and imposing manner, Chade could tell that this person was not joking or putting on an act. As long as he made a move, it would be a life and death battle. Moreover, that pair of beast-like eyes contained endless killing intent. Richard, who had been idle since he was young, felt as if his heart had stopped beating.
However, everyone in the hall was looking at him. If he were to be scared away like this, not only would he lose face, but it would also be a stain on the Duke's Residence. He could even feel the mocking gazes of the guests behind him. Chade composed himself and mustered up his courage to throw a punch at Ling Tian's face. However, when his fist was just an inch away from Ling Tian, it was grabbed by a hand. Although this hand was old, it was still very strong. Chade's hand seemed to be under a spell and could not move forward no matter what.
The owner of this hand was naturally Delin. He instantly moved to Ling Tian's side and grabbed onto Chade's fist with one hand while his other hand grabbed onto Ling Tian's right hand, which was near his waist and was about to draw his sword. Delin knew that with his own speed, he wouldn't be able to catch up to Ling Tian's speed. The only reason why he was able to grab onto Ling Tian's hand was because Ling Tian could tell from his aura that he was the one who was rushing over and had stopped his hand from pulling out his sword.
Doehring let out a sigh and looked at his grandnephew with a dignified expression. From his fiery eyes, his tightly furrowed brows, and the throbbing muscles on his face, anyone could tell that this usually kind and amicable old man was very angry. Chade was a little scared and didn't dare to look at Doehring. He lowered his head and called out softly," Grandpa."
"You still have the face to call me grandpa? You've disgraced the entire Cole family. How can you treat my guests like this? And you, Liz, I warned you, and you didn't stop him.”
"Grandpa, isn't he just a low-level farmer? Is there a need to be so angry?”
"Bastard! Hurry up and apologize to me!" Lise's retort infuriated Delin to the extreme, and he even cursed the child he usually doted on as a bastard. Lise and Richard, two proud people, were naturally unwilling to apologize to a peasant who thought he was lowly.
"Grandpa! Why should I apologize to a lowly farmer? I don't even know where he came from.”
When Liz said the word 'bastard,' she suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at her. The beast-like eyes were filled with ruthlessness, bloodlust, and cruelty. The surrounding air seemed to be distorted by an invisible pressure. Endless killing intent pierced into every nerve of her, and she couldn't even feel if her heart was still beating.
The guests in the hall also felt a sharp aura. A thick killing intent invaded every part of their bodies, pressing down on them and making them unable to breathe. They felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and their limbs were numb.
Suddenly, a white light flashed, and a sword light pierced towards Liz's throat. It was extremely fast and had a fierce aura, as if it could cut through anything in front of it. Lise watched as the sword light pierced towards her, her limbs not reacting at all. There was only one sentence left in her mind, Am I going to die?”
At the same time, another figure covered in white Combat Energy quickly moved in front of Lise, holding a sword in front of his chest. With a crisp clang, the white light stopped and the momentum disappeared.
Only then did the guests react, only to see Ling Tian's sword stabbing into the giant sword of Doehring, who was covered in silver battle qi. Ling Tian retracted his sword, but Doehring took half a step back before stabilizing himself. Lise, who was standing behind Doehring, stared blankly at Doehring. Only now did she realize that she had just walked through the gates of hell, and her entire body was covered in cold sweat.
"Thank you!" What puzzled everyone was that Doehring was actually thanking the person who had tried to kill his granddaughter.
Ling Tian looked at Delin. This old man whom he had just met, this person who had given him the warmth of a family member, this old man who had gone through life and death with him twice, was now facing him with his sword. Ling Tian felt extremely confused, helpless, empty, and unwilling to part with him.
" Old man, I..." Ling Tian looked at Delin but pursed his lips, not saying anything.
"I know! You don't have to say anything."
Sighing in his heart, Ling Tian looked at Delin and then at Lise behind him before walking out. "Where are you going?" Delin called out to Ling Tian.
"Where did you come from, where are you going!" Ling Tian felt a little sad, but he did not stop. Following Ling Tian's departure, there was one less person among the guests.
" Hais…" Looking at Ling Tian's small and lonely figure, Delin let out a long sigh. This was the lonely youth he had met in the forest. He had a unique feeling for him, sympathizing with him, liking his innocence, rejoicing in his strength, and looking forward to his growth. He didn't chase after them. Perhaps this complicated world wasn't suitable for him. That forest was the best place for him.
After Ling Tian left for a long time, the killing intent in the hall slowly disappeared and the guests also gradually recovered. Although the banquet continued, it was no longer as lively and lively as before. Everyone could feel that the atmosphere was not harmonious.
"This is the worst ceremony of my life.”Liz commented on the coming-of-age ceremony.
