Perhaps, the old man did not think too much about it when he first saw Duan Qiao Yu acting affectionately with Duan Ling Tian or calling him brother. However, after Yu Qiu Xuan, the beautiful woman, made her move, it was clear that he assumed Duan Qiao Yu and him were from a powerful force. This was a logical assumption. After all, would ordinary people be protected by Lords of Gods? How could Duan Ling Tian be ordinary when the person the Lord of God protected had called him brother?
'Since this old man recognized me, he must have told Zhong Er and Zhong Si about it earlier…' Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, 'However, Zhong Er and Zhong Si were still determined to kill me earlier. They likely set up a Formation to prevent me from sending messages so that they won't be implicated after killing me. No wonder I felt a slight change in the air earlier. It must be from when they were setting up and removing the Formation.'
