"Reporting to Your Highness, the Zhennan General has arrived. He is waiting for you at the door. "
"Oh, I know." Wei ChengPing calmed himself down and his expression changed. Instantly, he reverted back to the courteous, approachable, and amiable appearance from before. It was enough to make anyone who saw his expression feel as if they were bathing in the spring breeze. Just by looking at Wei Chengping's expression, it seemed that this Northern Wei Crown Prince could confide in someone at any time.
Wei Chengping took large strides and walked towards the Crown Prince Palace's entrance to welcome him.
Early in the morning, the handsome Ling Tian didn't seem to have any manners. He stretched lazily as he walked out of his room. He even raised his head to the sky and yawned.
In the small courtyard, Xue Leng hugged his sheathed longsword and leaned against the grape trellis. His eyes were slightly closed as if he was taking a nap.
Last night, Xue Leng had been pranked by Ling Tian. The bloody battle caused by the "three tiles" had almost caused Xue Leng to be completely drained of his mental, physical, and internal strength. He was surrounded by many experts and could die at any time. The terrifying feeling of death still made Xue Leng feel some lingering fear even now.
After returning to Ling Tian's small courtyard with great difficulty, Xue Leng was already completely exhausted. Xue Fei had helped him circulate his internal strength for over two hours to recover his true essence. Xue Leng had only recovered a bit, but he was still a bit dispirited.
"Eh, big brother Xue Leng, you woke up really early." Ling Tian yawned and stretched as he walked towards Xue Leng.
"Mmm." Xue Leng opened his eyes and looked at him before continuing to rest. Xue Leng was also curious about the power of the Ling family. This morning, Xue Fei had gone out for a walk and said that the entire Sky Bearing City had been turned upside down by the Yang Family. Even the houses of the court officials were no exception. However, the Ling family was still as calm as ever, as though they didn't know anything!
This made Xue Leng feel a little surprised. While he didn't think that the murder of Nangong Lok was done by the Ling family, the Ling family and Yang family were the biggest enemies. Thus, the Ling family should be the biggest suspect. But why did the Yang Family's search only the Ling family?
The door opened with a creak and Yu BingYan walked out neatly dressed. Seeing that Ling Tian was already in the courtyard, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but reveal a look of bliss. To be able to see him the moment she woke up, the person who cared for her so much, this kind of warm feeling made Yu BingYan feel extremely blissful!
"Tsk tsk, limpid autumn water, jade bone, hibiscus like face, willow like eyebrows. Sister, you forgot to put on makeup today, you're really radiant." Ling Tian said as he looked at Yu BingYan's slightly tanned face.
"Ah? Really? "Yu BingYan was shocked. Could it be? She hurriedly twisted her small waist, turned around and ran into the room. Halfway through, she came back to her senses. She stopped and turned around. Fuming, she said, "Brother Tian only knows how to lie. I just applied the powder and looked at myself in the mirror for a long time."
Ling Tian said with a smile that didn't seem like a smile, "Sister, so you only put on your makeup once a day? Do you wash it off every night before you sleep? If that's the case, in order to see sister's true appearance, this little brother doesn't mind being a person on the roof for half a day! "
Yu BingYan covered her mouth and chuckled, "I won't tell you, you big bad guy."
Ling Tian laughed and was about to tease her again when a servant girl came from afar, "Young master, Old Madam invites you over."
Ling Tian responded and said to Yu BingYan, "Yan 'er, don't run around. Brother will come back later to teach you how to draw."
Yu BingYan made a sound and a happy smile appeared on her face.
Pig head, at the beginning, this lady did get close to you to learn how to draw from you. But now, it's not like that anymore. Now, as long as I can see you every day, it's enough. Whether I draw or not, it doesn't matter anymore. As long as you're at home, I won't go out. Because … I don't have much time left. To be able to see you is to enjoy one more moment of happiness!
Yu BingYan looked at Ling Tian's back and the corner of her mouth revealed a moving smile. However, tears were brewing in her eyes …
"Nangong Lok, it was you who sent people to kill him, right?" After Old Madam Ling saw Ling Tian, the first thing she did was to dismiss her servants and directly ask this question!
Old Madam Ling was in good spirits and her face was glowing red. In the past ten years, Ling Tian would use his Xiantian inner energy to nurse the bodies of Old Master, Old Madam, Father, Mother, Qin Da and the rest. (Of course, Grandfather, Father, Mother and the rest were all unaware of this. One had to admire Old Master and Great Master Ling Xiao for being shockingly careless. As for Madam Chu Ting, she didn't know any martial arts at all, so she was even more unaware.) Although the few elders were getting older, their bodies were getting stronger and stronger. It didn't seem like there would be any problem for them to live for another twenty to thirty years.
Ling Tian laughed and said, "Grandma, I really suspect that you've been hiding behind me all the time. How is it that you know everything that I've done?"
"Hmph, little brat, I don't know who you've learned all these from. Your stomach is full of evil tricks and your brain is full of schemes! This old lady was still wondering. Your grandfather and father are both simple-minded people. This Ling family doesn't seem to have produced any intelligent people in the past few generations. How is it that in your generation, a freak like you appeared out of nowhere? "Old Madam Ling scolded jokingly.
"Grandma, you've wronged me." Ling Tian came behind Old Madam Ling and gently massaged her shoulders. His movements were gentle and moderate, and he controlled his strength with ease.
Old Madam Ling stretched her neck comfortably and turned around. Then, she said, "But ever since I've seen through you, I can finally relax a little. These years, it's been tiring! Haiz, there really isn't anything that I can count on your grandfather and father for! "
Ling Tian laughed and said, "Grandfather and father are both straightforward people. How are they not good men? Who has ever doubted the foresight of grandmother and mother? Even if the Ling family has a huge family business, it's indeed too tiring for you to rely on grandmother to take care of it all. But grandfather and father can't help much, so we can only add to grandmother's burden. However, grandmother, you're a capable person who does more work. "
Although the Ling family looked glorious, it was actually filled with danger. In order to increase the influence of the Ling family in Sky Bearing, Old Madam Ling did not hesitate to use all sorts of methods to make the Ling family one of the Eight Great Families. Almost everything was managed by Old Madam Ling. After so many years, she was indeed exhausted both mentally and physically.
Hearing her grandson's thoughtful words, Old Madam Ling sighed in satisfaction, "It's good that you know. Haiz, your grandfather and father can't help at all. Those two blockheads … "
Old Madam Ling sighed and shook her head, as though she couldn't bear to think about it. "Originally, your mother Ting 'er was smart enough and considered things thoroughly. She was the successor that I nurtured with all my effort. If not for your appearance, the Ling family would probably have to return to the old path, with women taking charge of the family."
Ling Tian let out a "ha" and laughed out loud. "Old path? Grandmother, don't tell me that the Ling family has always been led by women? "
"Hmph!" Old Madam Ling rolled her eyes at him, "That's right, before becoming one of the Eight Great Families, it was us weak women who supported the Ling family. This seems to have become a tradition in the Ling family!" Following which, Old Madam Ling's face flushed red, as though she was embarrassed, "Look at your grandfather now, grandma is the only one, right? Look at your father, your mother is the only one, right? Let me tell you, before the two of them, there were several generations of ancestors who only had one wife! The best tradition of honest and straightforward men like the Ling family is to be henpecked. "
Ling Tian was stunned, and his hands that were massaging the old lady's shoulders involuntarily stopped. He never thought that the Ling family had such a glorious tradition! After a while, he burst into laughter, laughing so hard that tears almost came out of his eyes.
Ancestors of the Ling Family, you guys have really … suffered a lot!
"What are you laughing at? If you don't have any real ability, you'll still have no authority over your husband, and find a wife to suppress you! "Old Madam Ling said angrily.
Ling Tian laughed so hard that his body twitched, and he finally calmed down, "Grandmother, you don't have to worry about this! If I, Ling Tian, can't even handle my own wife, then I might as well buy a piece of tofu and run into it head-on. "
Old Madam Ling was furious, and she grabbed his ear, "Are you saying that your grandfather and father should have bought a piece of tofu and run into it head-on? Hmph! "
Ling Tian grimaced and begged for mercy, "Grandmother, uh … be gentler. What I mean is that there are almost no heroines like you and mother nowadays. Grandson, where are you going to find such capable girls? Grandfather and father are the lucky ones. Grandson would be satisfied if he could find someone to warm his bed. Besides, how can grandfather and father be considered as useless men? At most, they're only useless when they're at home, right?! "
"That's more like it!" Old Madam Ling let go of his ear in satisfaction and sat down.
"Haha, Grandmother, I thought that the Ling family's ancestral teachings dictated that descendants can only have one wife, and that they have to be faithful to one until death. So that's not the case," Ling Tian said with a cheeky smile.
"Hmph, as long as you can control your wife, no one will say anything even if you find a hundred. As long as your body can take it, I'm waiting to hold a great-great-grandson, "Old Madam Ling said with a sidelong glance.
Ling Tian chuckled. I'm not that fickle in love.
"However, although killing Nangong Lok this time was a little reckless, it really was a big move." After the small talk, Old Madam Ling returned to the main topic.
Ling Tian smiled, "Grandmother also thinks that this is a big move?"
"Little brat, don't underestimate Grandmother. How could I not see through your little tricks?" Old Madam Ling patted him a little angrily, "The Nangong's third son, Nangong Lok, is just a hedonistic son. Even in the Nangong world, he's just an unimportant person. Even if a hundred people like him died, nothing big would happen. However, the problem lies in your timing. You hit him where it hurts. It's not too early or too late, but it's just right for you to set off a big storm. "
Ling Tian's cheeky expression turned serious. He didn't expect that his grandmother would be able to point out the most important part of his plan right after hearing about Nangong Lok's death! She was indeed shrewd with age and was indeed extraordinary!
"Nangong Lok died under the protection of the Yang Family, and the timing was coincidentally right after the marriage with the Yang Family. If it was a normal time, the Yang Family and Nangong family would have a fight, and the Yang Family would then make some moves in Sky Bearing, and this matter would be over. However, the problem now is that this idea of yours is too sinister. The timing you grasped was related to the overall situation of the entire continent, but it allowed NanGong Le to become famous after his death, becoming a key figure in the entire continent.
