Chapter 3840: A Woman’s Thoughts Are Impossible to Grasp Translation
As emperor-rank forces, the Flying Dragon Sect and the Tai Yi Sect shared the same system for contribution points.
In the Flying Dragon Sect, even Black Dragon Elders, who were Lords of Gods, might not have 200,000 contribution points. Based on this, one could tell the Tai Yi Sect was truly generous with its reward to kill Duan Ling Tian.
Due to the high number of contribution points, many Flying Dragon Sect’s disciples were also tempted.
“Do you think the Tai Yi Sect will give us 200,000 contribution points if we kill Duan Ling Tian?”
“200,000 contribution points… The Tai Yi Sect is very determined to kill Duan Ling Tian!”
“He has no one to blame but himself. Who asked him to be so arrogant? It would be strange if Tai Yi Sect let this matter go, right?”
“Duan Ling Tian must be regretting his action now!”
“I agree!”
The Flying Dragon Sect’s disciples shook their heads as they discussed the matter. Some of them even pitied Duan Ling Tian when they thought about how much more dangerous it would be for Duan Ling Tian on the King Battlefield.
“The sect leader wants us to form a group where our overall strength is comparable to Duan Ling Tian when we enter the King Battlefield? Why does it seem like he’s asking us to fight Duan Ling Tian?”
“You’re overthinking things! It’s impossible for the sect leader to encourage killing among fellow members. He’s clearly worried we’d be in danger since the Tai Yi Sect’s disciples have all formed large groups to kill Duan Ling Tian. If we didn’t form large groups of our own, we’d be at a disadvantage if we encountered those from the Tai Yi Sect.”
“You have a point.”
…
Ding Yan, who had also received the order and heard the news, sighed. “Duan Ling Tian…”
Sikong Yue, who was standing nearby, scoffed. She said, “Why are you sighing? Are you a man? Isn’t Duan Ling Tian your friend? You should have more confidence in your friend! Do you think he’ll be killed by the Tai Yi Sect’s disciples as well?”
Initially, Sikong Yue had no intention of entering the King Battlefield with Ding Yan. However, her father had insisted they entered the King Battlefield together so she could only acquiesce. After they received news of what happened, she heard Ding Yan sighing and could not help but feel displeased.
“What are you talking about? What do you mean by ‘I should have more confidence in him’?” Ding Yan looked at Sikong Yue coldly.
Sikong Yue sneered. “Isn’t that right? Otherwise, why did you sigh?”
Ding Yan remained silent.
After a few moments, Sikong Yue said, “Ding Yan, send a message to Duan Ling Tian. Ask him if he’s interested in forming a group with me. Tell him that my team has four advanced Kings of Gods comparable to Hua Tian Du.”
Sikong Yue had already formed a team before the Imperial War began. Two of her teammates were Green Dragon Disciples, and one of them was an inner disciple whose strength was comparable to that of a Green Dragon Disciple.
Ding Yan was taken aback by Sikong Yue’s words. “You want Duan Ling Tian to join your group? Are you serious?”
Ding Yan was indeed worried about Duan Ling Tian. At the same time, he felt depressed that he could not do anything to help Duan Ling Tian.If he were strong enough, he could help Duan Ling Tian to deal with the Tai Yi Sect’s disciples. Without sufficient strength, it would be dangerous for him to recklessly help Duan Ling Tian. Hence, he was surprised that Sikong Yue was willing to risk danger and help Duan Ling Tian. After all, he knew that many people who wanted to invite Duan Ling Tian to join their respective teams had instantly dismissed the idea as soon as they heard about what happened. After all, under these circumstances, having Duan Ling Tian in their teams would be like painting a huge target sign on their backs.
Ding Yan asked skeptically, “Why? Based on your character, you’re not so kind as to risk danger to help another person. Why do you want to help Duan Ling Tian? What’s your motive?”
Ding Yan knew Sikong Yue was very arrogant and looked down on many people. Why would she be willing to risk danger to help Duan Ling Tian? He could not figure out her motives at all.
Sikong Yue was stunned by Ding Yan’s series of questions. When she regained her senses, she frowned and said, “Why do you care about my motives? Hurry up and contact him. It wasn’t easy for me to persuade my teammates to let Duan Ling Tian join us. Apart from us, no one would dare to join forces with him now.”
Ding Yan was further shocked upon hearing these words. He thought perhaps it was one of Sikong Yu’s teammates who wanted Duan Ling Tian to join them. However, based on Sikong Yue’s words, it was all her idea.
Finally, Ding Yan decided to send a message to Duan Ling Tian to convey Sikong Yue’s message. However, he still looked at her suspiciously. After a moment, he asked, “Sikong Yue, don’t tell me you’ve fallen in love with Duan Ling Tian?”
Sikong Yue’s expression changed immediately. “What nonsense are you spouting?!”
Ding Yan sighed inwardly. It seemed like he was right. That arrogant and selfish woman seemed to have fallen in love with Duan Ling Tian. Although he did not think Duan Ling Tian would reciprocate her feelings, he could not help but feel slightly sad when he realized she had fallen for Duan Ling Tian. It was only natural that Sikong Yue liked Duan Ling Tian. After all, Duan Ling Tian was outstanding. She had looked down on him because he was ordinary, but how could she look down on someone as outstanding as Duan Ling Tian? An arrogant woman like Sikong Yue would only fall for someone superior to her like Duan Ling Tian.
At this time, Ding Yan finally received Duan Ling Tian’s reply.
“Please thank her for me, but I don’t need anyone’s help.”
Upon hearing this, Ding Yan said worriedly, “Duan Ling Tian, don’t be stubborn. I know you’re very strong, but all the Kings of Gods in the Tai Yi Sect are out to get you. Even those who are strong are forming groups just to kill you. If you join Sikong Yue’s group, coupled with your strength, they won’t be able to touch you at all.”
As a friend, Ding Yan naturally wanted to ensure Duan Ling Tian’s safety. Just like the time when they were in the Hidden Fog Academy, and he found out that the king-rank forces were targeting Duan Ling Tian, he had offered to stop the death warriors from attacking Duan Ling Tian. However, Duan Ling Tian had refused him at that time.
“Ding Yan, do you remember when we were in Skywind City’s Hidden Fog Academy? You insisted on helping me because you thought I was in danger? However, in the end, nothing happened to me, right?” Duan Ling Tian replied, “Don’t worry. I’m someone who acts only when I’m confident.”
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was still strolling through Peace City with Fang Yu while he replied to Ding Yan’s messages.
Fang Yu had also warned Duan Ling Tian and told him not to enter the King Battlefield yet before he left for the Lord Battlefield.
In the Imperial War Realm, apart from the three battlefields, everyone could communicate normally in Flying Dragon City, Peace City, and Tai Yi City.
Meanwhile, Ding Yan could only smile bitterly after he failed to persuade Duan Ling Tian. He looked at Sikong Yue and said, “Duan Ling Tian told me to thank you, but he said he doesn’t need any help.”
“As his friend, why didn’t you persuade him?” Sikong Yue frowned.
Sikong Yue did not have any ill intentions, but she was just very interested in Duan Ling Tian.Although he was from a Devata Realm and was younger than her, he was much stronger than her. Even his skills in alchemy were shocking. This was her first time encountering a man superior to her in all aspects.
When Duan Ling Tian was refining the Limit Divine Pills in public, he had only looked at her once. He looked at Ding Yan more than he looked at her. This caused her to feel quite dissatisfied. However, as time passed, her curiosity only grew stronger and stronger. Perhaps, it was because her pride had taken a blow, she even considered telling Duan Ling Tian that she had many pursuers, and among them, there were even a few Green Dragon Disciples.
Today, she thought she finally had a chance to approach Duan Ling Tian by asking him to join her. However, she did not expect him to refuse her.
