As he said that, Ling Tian paused for a moment and looked at Ye QingChen's expression. Seeing Ye QingChen's disappointed, dejected, and ashamed expression, Ling Tian could not help but feel a little guilty in his heart. Putting in so much effort to scheme against such an expert, wasn't it a little too much?
But since things had already come to this, there was no way for Ling Tian to regret. Besides, he was only asking for information and not harming Ye QingChen. Thinking about that, Ling Tian felt more at ease and continued, "However, Mister Ling Tian regrets not meeting Mister earlier and wishes to have a long chat with Mister through the night. If Mister doesn't mind Ling Tian's boldness, this junior would like to invite Mister over to my residence to taste the best wine in the world and have a long chat through the night. How about it?"
Hearing Ling Tian's words, Ye QingChen could not help but feel a little excited. Hearing Ling Tian say 'taste the best wine in the world', all the gloominess in his heart was swept away and he laughed out loud, "What are you talking about, this Ye is more than happy to receive Young Noble's invitation. It should be this Ye who is overwhelmed by your favor!"
In his happiness, Ye QingChen also changed the way he addressed Ling Tian. From the old 'this old man' to 'this Ye' in the blink of an eye. Unknowingly, he had already treated Ling Tian as a close friend of the same generation and no longer treated him as a junior worthy of admiration.
Ling Tian smiled and stood up first. With a wave of his hand, he took Ye QingChen's white cloth from the side of the door and said with a smile, "Alright, this junior will help senior to hold onto your signboard today and see if there will be any customers. This junior will also be able to make a profit. "
Ye QingChen laughed to the point his beard trembled, "I don't think so, right? Not only will I not be able to make a profit, with the number one debauchee in Ling Tian holding onto my signboard, I'm afraid that no one in Sky Bearing will be interested in me in the future! Hahaha … little brother, you've cut off my path to wealth. If this Ye doesn't have any money to buy wine in the future, I'll come to your residence directly! "
"Haha, whenever Senior wants to come, this junior will sweep the tower and wait for you! I'm just afraid that the Ling family's temple is too small, and Senior is unwilling to live in it, "Ling Tian said with a grin.
Both of them were joking, but their words were mixed with truth and falsehood. It was not impossible to turn a joke into a reality. Ling Tian and Ye QingChe looked at each other and burst into laughter.
After laughing for a while, Ye QingChe suddenly said, "Young Master, isn't it a little too formal for us to address each other like this? If you don't mind, and still think highly of this fortune teller, why don't you call me Big Brother from now on, and I'll call you Little Brother."
Ling Tian couldn't help but laugh. "Little Brother had wanted to say this for a long time, but I was afraid that Elder Brother, as an otherworldly expert, would disdain to make friends with a mortal like Little Brother. I was afraid that it would be too abrupt, so I didn't dare to open my mouth. Elder Brother's words really hit the nail on the head. Haha … "
Ye QingChe was elated, and pretended to blow his beard as he said, "Nonsense, how can this Elder Brother be such a person?"
Ling Tian apologized profusely, but thought to himself, You don't have to be humble. Before this, you were already such a person. If not for my jar of Heaven Tier Wine keeping you here, you would have probably disappeared without a trace.
Seeing Ling Tian apologize with a sincere attitude, Ye QingChe turned his anger into laughter, "Little Brother, you don't have to criticize me in your heart. Haha, this Elder Brother has really not interacted with anyone like this in the past few decades. It is just that I have been blindly arrogant, looking at the sky from the bottom of a well. If not for the fact that I came to Sky Bearing this time, I would not have known that such a talented person like Little Brother had appeared in the world." While he admitted his mistake, there was still a tinge of loneliness in his words.
Ling Tian smiled. Seeing how Ye QingChe did not avoid the taboo and admitted to this point, it was enough to show how straightforward and upright he was. Ling Tian's impression of Ye QingChe couldn't help but increase.
As the two of them walked out of the private room, the guards outside all stood up and bowed. The sound immediately alerted Ling Chen and Yu BingYan who were waiting in the other private room, and the two of them immediately walked out.
Ling Tian was in a good mood, and with a flash of his body, he pushed Ye QingChe in front of him and said with a smile, "This Mister Ye will be my, Ling Tian's, sworn brother from today onwards. When everyone sees him in the future, you must treat him with respect."
The moment he said that, apart from Ling Chen, everyone had a strange expression on their faces, all of them greatly surprised. This was especially so for the guards, who were all guessing what kind of mental illness their Young Master was suffering from, for him to actually lower himself to acknowledge such an unprepossessing swindler as his sworn brother!
This was especially true for the Yu family's guards, who all thought that this debauchee must have been bewitched by this swindler. However, a debauchee being deceived by a swindler was not a big deal, but no one dared to show this kind of emotion on their face, in case Ling Tian flew into a rage out of humiliation and vented his anger on them, wouldn't they be wronged to death? Therefore, each and every one of them looked on coldly, as if they were watching a joke.
The Ling family's guards bowed again and called out, "Hello Mister Ye, we pay our respects." Ye QingChe was neither servile nor overbearing, and returned the greeting with a smile.
Ling Chen had a smile on her face, obviously already mentally prepared for this outcome, while Yu BingYan had a pensive look on her face. Brother Tian's actions, does he have other intentions? Could it be that this Jianghu fortune teller is actually a prostitute?
Ling Tian waved his hand and said, "Return to the residence!" The guards rushed out, opening the way in front.
Ye QingChe deliberately stayed behind, grabbing Ling Tian's sleeve and whispering, "You mischievous brat, when did this old brother become your sworn brother? How come I didn't know about it? "
Ling Tian laughed and said, "Old brother, you want me to call you old brother, and you call me little brother. The two of us are not of the same mother, nor are we of the same flesh and blood, so if we are not sworn brothers, then what are we?"
Ye QingChe was stunned, always feeling that he was twisting words and forcing logic, but he couldn't tell where he was wrong. After thinking for a while, he said, "With little brother's status, character, intelligence, and knowledge, even if we were to become sworn brothers, this old brother would be climbing up the social ladder, but …"
"But what? Could it be that with such an expert like old brother, you also care about the burning of incense, the three kowtows and nine kowtows? A real man, once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back. If we say we are brothers, then we are brothers. With the sun and moon as proof, with the heavens and earth as witnesses, why are there so many womanly rules! Since old brother calls me little brother, then you are my old brother, and we are brothers. This is a matter of heaven and earth, what other reason is there? " Seeing that Ye QingChe still had the intention to refuse, Ling Tian hurriedly interrupted him with a smile, but the words he said were aggressive, leaving Ye QingChe with no way to avoid it.
Actually, Ye QingChe didn't want to say this, but after hearing Ling Tian's words, he also felt that if he continued to refuse, it would be too pretentious and unreasonable. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother, you have a sharp tongue!"
What kind of person was the green clothed fortune teller Ye QingChe? He naturally understood the reason why Ling Tian insisted on their relationship, and it wasn't that he didn't have the intention to make use of him! But he suddenly realized that in his heart, he was also extremely happy to have such a brother, and there wasn't the slightest bit of disgust.
Ye QingChe had spent the first half of his life alone, wandering the pugilistic world. Although he had met a great fortune, met a great master, cultivated a body of top-notch martial arts, and had many other abilities, but in the depths of his heart, there was also an indescribable loneliness. When had he ever enjoyed the love and affection of the human world? Although he knew that Ling Tian had the intention to make use of him, but to suddenly have a family member, he couldn't help but feel a strange warmth in his heart!
Ling Tian suddenly stood still. Since the two of them met, this was the first time he looked seriously into Ye QingChe's eyes, his eyes filled with endless sincerity. "Old brother, if I say that this little brother's actions have no selfish motives, not to mention old brother, even this little brother himself wouldn't believe it! But regardless of whether old brother believes it or not, this little brother only wants to say one thing. If this little brother doesn't like someone, even if that person is a supreme expert of the pugilistic world, and has great value to this little brother, then this little brother will still disdain to call that person big brother! As the saying goes, a long journey tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's heart. I hope old brother can observe this little brother's actions, and prove our brotherhood today! "
Ye QingChe was moved! From the sincere expression in Ling Tian's eyes, Ye QingChe knew that Ling Tian's words were from the bottom of his heart. He couldn't help but feel touched in his heart, and nodded heavily. "Little brother, I believe you! Old brother has seen countless people in his life, and I'm confident that I won't misjudge a person, and I won't trust the wrong person. A person's words are words, how can a person live in this world without trust! "
The two of them looked at each other and held hands, and couldn't help but laugh at the same time.
When the two of them walked out of the tavern, the western sky was already filled with red clouds! Unknowingly, they had actually spent half a day in this little tavern!
Ling Tian saw Yu BingYan following behind him with her head lowered, not saying a word. Occasionally, she would raise her head, and her eyes would be filled with hidden bitterness. Suddenly, he understood, and deliberately slowed down a few steps to walk side by side with her. Yu BingYan raised her head and looked at him. Her small mouth pouted, and with a snort, she turned her head away.
Ling Tian laughed. "Oh my, what's going on? Why did such a small red peony flower suddenly bloom on my little sister Yan 'er's small mouth? Although it's pretty, it's not a good place to be. Come come come, this big brother will pluck it for you. Otherwise, when we get home later, I'll let that lass Ling Chen hang it up with an oil bottle. "As he said that, he stretched out a hand towards Yu BingYan's lips.
Yu BingYan forced a displeased face, and slapped his hand away. In the end, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. In the blink of an eye, she remembered that she shouldn't have laughed, but it was already too late. She couldn't help but angrily stomp her feet, and her small mouth pouted again.
Ling Tian chuckled, and moved closer to her ear. "Yan 'er, we know each other from the heart. I really don't want to make things difficult for you because of me. Are you willing to make things difficult for me?" His voice was low, and just loud enough for Yu BingYan to hear. There wasn't much explanation, just a short sentence, but it directly knocked into Yu BingYan's heart!
Every word of this sentence drilled into Yu BingYan's ears, and she suddenly felt warm in her heart. Her eyes were hot, and her nose was sour. Her heart softened. So, he was really thinking for me! Although Yu BingYan had already guessed this point, but hearing Ling Tian say it himself, she still felt a huge surge of happiness, and in an instant, it filled her entire heart. The grievances and resentment in her heart suddenly disappeared without a trace, and she felt so happy that she wanted to sing loudly.
He saw Yu BingYan's lowered head, but her eyes were secretly glancing at him. In her eyes, there was satisfaction, shyness, joy, and embarrassment. There was also a trace of coquettishness, and an indescribable charm. Ling Tian's heart couldn't help but tremble, and he wanted to pull her into his arms.
But he saw Yu BingYan suddenly snort, and said in a low voice, "Who are you to me? I'm too lazy to make things difficult for you! Hmph! " After saying this, she only felt her jade face turn red, hot and hot, and the feelings of a little girl were completely revealed. The jade person couldn't help but stomp her feet, and rushed forward, leaving behind a pleasant fragrance.
"Brother, you've really whetted my appetite to the sky!" The green clothed fortune teller Ye QingChen complained.
Returning to the Ling House, Ling Tian directly invited Ye QingChen to his small courtyard. As for himself, after instructing Ling Chen a few words, he first went to report to his grandparents and parents that he was safe. This was his daily routine. After greeting them one by one, he also went to see Qin Da. Regarding Qin Da's recovery, Ling Tian's heart had been unable to let go. Losing his wife in his old age was such a heavy blow, and it wasn't something that could be recovered from in two or three years. Seeing that Qin Da's body was healthy, especially his spirit, Ye QingChen finally relaxed. After saying a few words, he hurried back.
Yu BingYan's heart was unburdened by Ling Tian's words. She was also a smart person, and knew that it wasn't suitable for her to be too involved in Ling Tian's affairs. Thus, she returned to her room early to rest.
When Ling Tian returned to the small courtyard, Ye QingChen was already anxiously waiting, and couldn't wait any longer.
Ling Tian laughed and said, "Old brother, don't be impatient. Today, I'll definitely let you drink to your heart's content! However, if you want to drink good wine, you must first calm your heart. If you're impatient, then the peerless wine will taste like wax in your mouth. Could it be that Big Brother has forgotten about what happened earlier? When it comes to matters of the Dao of Wine, there are very few things that can escape my eyes.
