Chapter 3619: Duan Qiao Yu

The girl wore a light green robe and looked about 16 years old. Her wavy hair fell freely on her back. At this moment, she was looking at Duan Ling Tian excitedly.

At the same time, an aloof but beautiful woman stood behind the teenage girl, staring at Duan Ling Tian in shock.

“Brother!”

Duan Ling Tian was baffled as the girl ran toward him while calling him Brother. He thought about dodging, but he could not bear to do so when he saw her genuine excitement and the tears in her eyes. He raised his arms stiffly as the teenage girl hugged him tightly. Feeling rather awkward, he asked, “Did you mistake me for someone else?”

Duan Ling Tian was certain he had never met this teenage girl before so he had no idea why she kept calling him Brother. Based on her expression and reaction, it did not seem like she was pretending. He thought perhaps, he resembled her brother.

The teenage girl’s actions caught some of the passersby’s attention, but they did not continue to watch since they were in a hurry.

On the busy street, Duan Ling Tian, the teenage girl, and the woman were the only ones standing still.

“Brother Ling Tian, have you forgotten me?” the teenage girl asked as she raised her head to look at Duan Ling Tian with an aggrieved expression on her face, “I miss you so much! I stayed in Skyward City for so many years, waiting for you to show up. I finally managed to meet you at the Zhou clan’s trading zone just like you’d told me.”

Duan Ling Tian was perplexed. How could there be such a coincidence? Was it possible that not only did her brother look like him, but they even shared the same name? Moreover, it seemed like her brother had told her to meet him here.

At this time, the woman who had been silent all this time finally said, “Young Miss, Young Master Duan, let’s continue the conversation after we find a place to sit.”

Duan Ling Tian grew even more perplexed. He even shared the same surname with the teenage girl’s brother? He was sure something was amiss. After all, how could there be such a coincidence? In the end, he finally said, “That’s right. Let’s look for a place to sit.”

The teenage girl reluctantly let go of her hold around Duan Ling Tian before she casually held one of Duan Ling Tian’s arms.

Duan Ling Tian could sense the teenage girl’s happiness.

“Why don’t we go to the room in the Zhou clan’s auction house? Young Miss, you’re interested in the auction, right? Why don’t you invite Young Master Duan to the auction?” the beautiful woman said.

The teenage girl hesitated briefly. When the beautiful woman nodded at her slightly, she turned to smile at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Brother Ling Tian, let’s continue our conversation in the room at the Zhou clan’s auction house.”

Usually, Duan Ling Tian would refuse the invitation of a stranger. However, he was intrigued by the series of mysterious coincidences.

Who was the teenage girl? Could there really be such a coincidence? If not, when did he meet her? When did he tell her to meet him here? He was sure he had never met her before.

He had many unanswered questions in his head. He thought perhaps, the teenage girl harbored ill intentions and was only acting. However, he quickly dismissed that thought. He had just arrived at the Profound Divine Land not too long ago. Nobody knew him except for those in Descent Mountain City. The people of Descent Mountain City would not dare to act against him since they were under the impression that he was a disciple of the Glorious Heaven Sect. For all these reasons, his interest was piqued by the teenage girl and the beautiful women. He was sure they were not from Descent Mountain City so who were they? Why did they seem to know him?

In the end, Duan Ling Tian could not help but extend his Divine Consciousness to probe the duo. Alas, he found he was unable to do so. One had to know that despite being a rudimentary god, even Qian Shu Huan, the advanced god from the Qian family in Descent Mountain City, could not have blocked his Divine Consciousness. This meant that the duo were likely Kings of Gods or stronger.

The duo exchanged a look when they sensed Duan Ling Tian trying to probe them with his Divine Consciousness. Unlike the beautiful woman who remained calm, the teenage girl said in shock through Voice Transmission, “Aunt Xuan, Brother Ling Tian’s cultivation base…”

After a moment, the beautiful woman said, “So that’s what happened… I understand now…”

Upon hearing these words, the teenage girl’s expression eased. She suddenly felt all the questions she had over the years were finally answered at this moment. The shocked expression on her face was quickly replaced with a smile, and she grew even livelier as she asked, “Brother Ling Tian, you’re here for the auction as well, right? There’s no need for you to pay for a seat since Aunt Xuan has already paid for a room.”

Duan Ling Tian was naturally aware of the teenage girl’s change, but he did not know the reason behind it. He did not reject the invitation since he was curious, and he was, indeed, going to attend the auction.

He followed the duo into the Zhou clan’s auction house and into the room with the number ‘9’ hanging on the door.

The room was spacious with a row of seats arranged facing an open window where guests could watch the auction and bid for items.

After taking a seat at the corner, Duan Ling Tian looked at the duo and asked, “Who are you? Did you mistake me for another person?”

The beautiful woman nodded. “Indeed. I think we mistook you for another person. I apologize, but you look identical to the person we know.” Then, she continued to say with a smile, “My name is Yu Qiu Xuan. What’s your name?”

Duan Ling Tian did not respond to the question immediately. Instead, he looked at Yu Qiu Xuan skeptically before he looked at the teenage girl and said, “You called me Ling Tian earlier. Don’t tell me the person who looks identical to me is called Duan Ling Tian as well?”

It was not strange for people to look identical. However, to share the same name and surname as well on top of that? It was highly unlikely, if not impossible.

“Your name is Duan Ling Tian as well? What a coincidence!” Yu Qiu Xuan exclaimed in disbelief.

Duan Ling Tian did not believe it was a coincidence at this point. However, he really could not sense anything amiss with the duo. Although it did not seem like the duo would be forthcoming with giving him answers, he stared at the teenage girl intently and asked, “Tell me. Did you really mistake me for someone else?”

The teenage girl averted her eyes slightly and exchanged a look with Yu Qiu Xuan. Then, determination flashed in her eyes as she looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Indeed. I made a mistake. I’m sorry.”

Duan Ling Tian could naturally tell she was not telling the truth. However, there was no way for him to get answers from her now. Hence, he only turned back and looked out the window with a slight frown on his face.

A hint of guilt flashed in the teenage girl’s eyes when she saw Duan Ling Tian’s reaction. Then, she mustered up her courage and said, “Brother, let me introduce myself. I’m Duan Qiao Yu.”

“Duan Ling Tian,” Duan Ling Tian replied curtly as he glanced at her. He really did not think it was a coincidence her surname was also Duan. He wondered if the person she had mistaken him for was her biological brother.

‘Is she my father’s illegitimate daughter with another woman?’ Duan Ling Tian wondered inwardly.

Then, he quickly dismissed that thought. ‘Impossible. Father has never been to any of the Realms of Gods. How could he have an illegitimate daughter here? Moreover, despite looking like a teenager, she’s at least a King of Gods. This means her mother must be very powerful. How could a woman like that take a liking to father?’

If Duan Ru Feng was aware of Duan Ling Tian’s thoughts, he would have rebuked his son.

In the end, Duan Ling Tian decided not to dwell on this matter. He could only treat it as a coincidence since the duo was unwilling to tell the truth.

At this time, Duan Qiao Yu’s eyes reddened as she looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked, “Brother Ling Tian, my brother left a long time ago.. Is it alright if I address you as Brother as well?”
