Without Sickly Scholar ruining the mood, the atmosphere in the parlor immediately became much better. Ling Tiehan looked apologetically at Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao and cupped his hands, "Third brother is ignorant and has offended you. I hope you can forgive him."
"Pavilion Master, there's no need to worry. The reason we're keeping your younger brother alive isn't entirely because of Pavilion Master Ling's face," Ye Li said with a smile. Ling Tiehan naturally understood Ye Li's pride. Of course, they had to give face to the Yanwang Chamber, but the Prince Ding Mansion definitely wouldn't be afraid of the Yanwang Chamber. The most important thing was that Sickly Scholar had the complete ancient recipe for the Falling Sky Flower. Ling Tiehan smiled bitterly and helplessly, "To be honest, this humble one came to the Northwest for this matter as well." If Sickly Scholar could obtain information about the Falling Sky Flower from the Prince Ding Mansion, then of course Ling Tiehan could obtain it as well. However, Ling Tiehan was different from Sickly Scholar. He didn't hate Mo Xiuyao, and had no enmity with Mo Xiuyao, nor did he have any interest in Mo Xiuyao. Whether Mo Xiuyao lived or died didn't affect him in the slightest. If Mo Xiuyao really did die at an untimely age, then perhaps he would sigh and say that the heavens were jealous of geniuses. Since both sides needed the Falling Sky Flower to save their lives, and the Prince Ding Mansion had the medicinal ingredients, and the Yanwang Chamber had the ancient recipe, why not take a step back and achieve a win-win situation? Compared to his adopted brother's life and health, his adopted brother's inexplicable hatred was even more insignificant in Ling Tiehan's eyes.
Ye Li raised her eyebrows and asked, "Does Pavilion Master Ling have the recipe as well?" Ling Tiehan shook his head frankly and said seriously, "Princess Ding, please do not worry. I will definitely hand over the recipe. After all, this concerns not only Prince Ding's safety, but also my third brother's life." If Prince Ding really died, even if his third brother did not die of illness, the Prince Ding Mansion would not let him go. Ye Li looked at him with a smile and asked suspiciously, "There's only one Biluo Flower. Pavilion Master Ling, have you never thought about what to do if you don't have enough medicine?"
Ling Tiehan smiled and said, "This one doesn't know much about medicine or poison, but since Third Brother intends to use half of the Biluo Flower to concoct medicine and half to concoct poison, it shouldn't be insufficient. Furthermore … I don't necessarily need the Falling Jade Flower. I just hope that Third Brother's health will improve. Since he was young, he has suffered more than others, so his temperament is a bit strange. Ever since he was injured, he has become more and more withdrawn. It's all thanks to my guidance as his older brother. I hope the two of you can be magnanimous enough to forgive him. " Sickly Scholar's problem was not as absolute as Mo Xiuyao's poison. His body was the result of serious injuries. Although the Falling Jade Flower was the best solution, it was not necessarily the only way to save him. With the Prince Ding Mansion's ability, what kind of medicine could they not find and what kind of famous doctor could they not invite? Ling Tiehan had wanted to personally go to the Prince Ding Mansion to ask Sickly Scholar to treat him. However, Sickly Scholar vehemently opposed it and even ran away from home, so he could only give up.
Ye Li naturally understood Ling Tiehan's meaning. She couldn't help but have a better impression of this top assassin in Jianghu. Regardless of what Ling Tiehan and the Yanwang Chamber of Commerce were doing, at least Ling Tiehan treated Sickly Scholar really well, even though he was not related to him by blood. With Sickly Scholar's personality, he was definitely not someone that people liked. It was not easy for Ling Tiehan to be so considerate towards him. Also, with Sickly Scholar's personality and vicious methods, if it wasn't for Ling Tiehan suppressing him, he would have caused a lot of trouble in Jianghu. Even if the Yanwang Chamber of Commerce was powerful, Jianghu was filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Who knew when Sickly Scholar would provoke someone that he could not afford to provoke.
"Pavilion Master Ling is truly a good older brother. In that case, Pavilion Master, Second Pavilion Master, and Third Pavilion Master should stay in Glass City for a while. As for the ancient recipe, there's no need to rush it. It's not that I don't trust Pavilion Master, but it's too important right now. It's better if Third Pavilion Master is willing to take it out. "Ye Li nodded towards Ling Tiehan as she spoke.
Ling Tiehan thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement to Ye Li's suggestion. He also understood why Ye Li had such concerns. It was because his third brother's personality was too extreme. Even if he stepped in, his sworn brother might not be able to change his mind. He might risk his life to perish together with Prince Ding. At that time, not only would Prince Ding and his third brother's lives be sacrificed, but the lives of everyone in the Prince Ding Mansion and the Yanwang Chamber of Commerce would also be lost. Ling Tiehan also knew a bit about Mo Xiuyao's situation. Seeing that Ye Li was still so calm at this time, he couldn't help but look at her in a new light. "Then I'll have to trouble Princess Consort."
After talking about Sickly Scholar's matter and Ling Tiehan's departure, Ye Li got up and left the room for Mo Xiuyao and Ling Tiehan to talk. She then got up and went to Shen Yang's courtyard. Although the appearance of the Yanwang Chamber's Second Pavilion Master had only been a fleeting one, Ye Li suddenly felt a trace of curiosity and interest towards this cold woman.
Only Mo Xiuyao and Ling Tiehan were left in the reception pavilion. It instantly became quiet. The two men both had extraordinary auras. Mo Xiuyao had more of the noble and domineering aura of someone born in a noble family, while Ling Tiehan had more of the carefree and heroic aura of someone from the jianghu. In terms of appearance, Ling Tiehan lost to Mo Xiuyao by a bit. However, Ling Tiehan's steady, heroic, and carefree personality made it easier for people to get close to him than Mo Xiuyao.
After quietly drinking tea for a while, Ling Tiehan finally raised his teacup to Mo Xiuyao and said with a smile, "I've long heard that Princess Ding is one of the most extraordinary women of her time. I've met you once in Nan Jiang, but seeing you today, I know that you live up to your reputation. Prince Ding has married a good wife. It's truly a good fortune. "
Mo Xiuyao nodded without any trace of politeness. "Of course Princess Li is a good wife. Pavilion Master Ling didn't come here just for Sickly Scholar, right? If that's the case, then there's no need. You and I have an agreement. As long as he doesn't really anger me, I won't touch him. " Ling Tiehan looked at him with a smile and asked suspiciously, "Why did I feel like Prince Ding wanted to kill him?" Mo Xiuyao snorted and said, "He wanted to hurt Princess Li! I'll let him live. "As for how he would let him live, that was up to him. As long as he had one breath left, it was still considered letting him live.
"You and I both know that he can't hurt Princess Ding at all." Not to mention Princess Ding's skills, the guard standing behind Princess Ding wasn't someone to be trifled with either. Based on his third brother's skills that were equivalent to half a cripple without poison, wanting to harm Ding Wang Fei was just wishful thinking. However, Ling Tiehan didn't plan on arguing with Mo Xiuyao about this. If he wanted to avenge his beloved wife, it was Yanwang Chamber's fault. He couldn't stop him. Otherwise, if he angered Mo Xiuyao, it would only make things worse for his third brother. Letting out a sigh, Ling Tiehan stopped thinking about his headache inducing younger brother and said, "Didn't you ask me why I came to Glass City? Just now, there was a business deal that came to Yanwang Chamber. "
Mo Xiuyao frowned, "It's related to the Prince Ding Mansion?"
Ling Tiehan nodded and said, "That's right. Although Yanwang Chamber has already said that they won't accept any business related to the Prince Ding Mansion, the other party didn't want to assassinate anyone from the Prince Ding Mansion this time. Also, the price they offered was very tempting." Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows and looked at him with an indifferent expression. Yanwang Chamber was in the business of killing people. If they didn't kill people, why would they look for them? If it was something else, there would naturally be people who could do it better than them. Ling Tiehan smiled and said, "I've already accepted it."
