"Wu Yan, look after Duan Ling Tian. I won't be happy if you neglect him," Tang Chin said before he left. As soon as he turned away, a meaningful smile could be seen on his face. He had deliberately created a chance for his grandniece to get close to Duan Ling Tian.

When he was dining in the restaurant that was owned by the Zhong clan, he had already thought about introducing Tang Wu Yan to Duan Ling Tian. Based on how outstanding Duan Ling Tian was, if Tang Wu Yan was successful in forging a relationship with Duan Ling Tian, their clan would definitely rise to great heights. However, at that time, Duan Ling Tian had said that he was already married with children so he dismissed that idea.

However, when Tang Chun saw how the Zhong clan humbled themselves in front of Duan Ling Tian, to the point where Zhong Er, the Second Master of the Zhong clan even killed his son to appease Duan Ling Tian, he was determined to play matchmaker.

As one of the top three female disciples in the Hidden Fog Sect, Tang Chun was very confident about Tang Wu Yan's ability. The number of female disciples was rather low so one could imagine how few outstanding female disciples there were in the Hidden Fog Sect. Apart from that, Tang Wu Yan was widely acknowledged as the Hidden Fog Sect's most beautiful disciple. Many male disciples would fight over her. There were even core disciples who had asked for her hand in marriage.

Tang Chun would have been happy to marry Tang Wu Yan off to any of the core disciples. After all, core disciples had a bright future ahead of them. Their prospect was even better than his. Unfortunately, Tang Wu Yan was not interested in any of the core disciples.

Tang Wu Yang was very strong-headed so it would be impossible to force her into a marriage with a man she disliked. In fact, it was likely she would choose death rather than being forced to marry someone she did not like. Hence, Tang Chun, who was eager to marry Tang Wu Yan off to someone who could help their clan in the future, decided to try and match her and Duan Ling Tian.

Nevertheless, before Tang Chun left, he sent a Voice Transmission to Tang Wu Yan. "Wu Yan, Duan Ling Tian is already married with kids. If you can't accept that, then at least try to be friends with him."

Tang Wu Yan did not reply to Tang Chun's Voice Transmission.

Although Duan Ling Tian was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing, these things were not important in a world where the strong were revered. To Tang Wu Yan, the man she liked had to be strong. As long as he was strong enough, she would not even care if the man had wives or children. In her opinion, it was normal for powerful men to have multiple wives. Moreover, she was confident about her beauty and was certain she would be able to win the man's heart no matter how many wives he had.

At this time, Tang Wu Yan glanced at Duan Ling Tian before she said casually, "Follow me."

Duan Ling Tian silently followed Tang Wu Yan. He naturally knew Tang Chun had deliberately created an opportunity for him to interact with Tang Wu Yan. After all, Tang Chun had mentioned setting him up with Tang Wu Yan when they were still in the restaurant. He would have found it troublesome if Tang Wu Yan had acted enthusiastically. Hence, he was relieved when he saw Tang Wu Yan's indifference.

"If you have any questions, feel free to ask me," Tang Wu Yan said as she showed Duan Ling Tian around the estate, pointing out various buildings that house core elders and inner elders to him. The high-ranking officials of the Hidden Fog Sect stayed in a different area. The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Hidden Fog Sect was the same everywhere so it did not matter where one stayed.

"That's where the second elder lives," Tang Wu Yan said as she pointed at a building that looked like a small palace, "His cultivation ground is located in there as well, and his disciples would also cultivate there."

Duan Ling Tian nodded. At the same time, he recalled the time in the Hidden Fog Academy when he refused the invitation of a young man who claimed to be a disciple of the second elder of the Hidden Fog Sect. At that time, that man was so angered by Duan Ling Tian's refusal that he almost attacked Duan Ling Tian. In the end, that man was stopped by his companion.

"How many second elders are there in the sect?" Duan Ling Tian asked.

"Only one. There are only 19 ranked core elders in the sect, and the second elder is one of them. The unranked core elders are supreme elders. The supreme elders naturally have higher status than the 19 ranked core elders, and they're on par with the Vice Sect Leaders at least. Some of the supreme elders are stronger than the Sect Leader; they're our Sect Leader's elders. Apart from that, the sect also has 19 guardians, their status is comparable to the Vice Sect Leaders and higher than the 19 ranked core elders."

When Duan Ling Tian looked at the second elder's residence, he wondered if Tu Feng was there now.

"Based on our speed, we'll be arriving at the inner disciples' cultivation ground within 15 minutes," Tang Wu Yan said.

It would have taken them only a dozen breaths to get to the inner disciples' cultivation ground if she did not have to show Duan Ling Tian around.

"Sorry to trouble you," Duan Ling Tian said with a nod and a smile on his face. As they flew, he saw a familiar figure leaving the second elder's residence. He could sense the figure's gaze on him.

'That's not Tu Feng…' Although Duan Ling Tian only caught a glimpse of the figure, he was certain it was not Tu Feng. However, he was not bothered and continued to follow Tang Wu Yan's lead.

…

Indeed, the figure did not belong to Tu Feng. It was the gray-clad young man who had stood behind Tu Feng when Tu Feng went to see Duan Ling Tian in the Hidden Fog Academy. He was Tu Feng's fourth junior brother, the second elder's fourth disciple.

"Isn't that Duan Ling Tian?" The young man was surprised when he saw Duan Ling Tian. When he regained his senses, he hurriedly sent a message through Voice Transmission. "Huan Li, can you ask Tang Wu Yan who's the purple-clad young man with her? Don't tell her that I'm the one who asked. Pretend like it was someone else who saw them."

Huan Li was an inner disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect who had a good relationship with Tu Feng and his junior brother.

It did not take long for Huan Li's reply to arrive.

"Meng Xing Hen, do you like Wu Yan as well? Why do you suddenly care about who she's with?" Huan Li asked teasingly.

"You're overthinking things. The purple-clad young man looks familiar so I want to know who he is. Anyway, hurry up and ask her. I'll treat you to a good meal later," Meng Xing Hen replied.

Meng Xing Hen did not have to wait long for Huan Li's reply.

"Meng Xing Hen, the purple-clad young man is a Ten Stars student from the Hidden Fog Academy. He just arrived today and joined the sect as an inner disciple. I didn't expect Vice Sect Leader Murong would recommend a student to join the sect in advance. It's said he even recommended that student to become a core disciple. That student will be taking the core disciples' test in half a year. You mentioned he seemed familiar; do you know him?"

"Thank you." Meng Xing Hen thanked Huang Li but did not answer his question.

He quickly flew away before coming to a stop in front of a building.

"Eldest Senior Brother, are you free?"
