Gradually, they heard that the search party was already heading in their direction.
Xiao YanXue's face turned red again as she thought to herself, "This person can be considered a strange person, but he doesn't forget to repay the kindness he has shown me. He must be trying to make me forget about repaying the kindness he has shown me. I'm afraid that I have misunderstood him previously." She couldn't help but ask gratefully, "I wonder what is this brother's name? Brother, you saved YanXue and protected YanXue's daughter's reputation. Such great kindness is akin to being reborn. YanXue is deeply grateful, and so is the Xiao Clan. How can it be settled with just a word of thanks? "
The black robed man shrugged his shoulders, his movements were indescribably elegant as he casually said, "It's really nothing much. You and I will never meet again. Farewell." Without waiting for Xiao YanXue to reply, the black robed man's body had already floated up to the top of the wall. Standing upright in the night, he suddenly shouted, "The Xiao family's little princess is here!" His voice was filled with vigorous inner qi, causing it to be clear and resounding. Immediately, it spread far and wide, causing a commotion. Following which, there were sounds coming from this direction.
Xiao YanXue knew that he was about to leave and couldn't help but shout, "Brother, please wait a step. What is your name?"
The black robed man didn't seem to have heard her question, or as if he couldn't be bothered to reply. His body flashed on the wall and disappeared without a trace. His Qing Gong was truly a rare sight!
Xiao YanXue panicked and also leaped onto the wall. Looking around, the surroundings were completely empty. There wasn't even a single person in sight. For a moment, she couldn't help but feel lost.
With a few swoosh sounds, a few figures appeared. Xiao FengYang had an anxious look on his face as he landed beside Xiao YanXue, followed by a few other experts. Xiao FengYang carefully observed Xiao YanXue's expression and asked carefully, "Xue 'er, are you alright?" His tone was filled with concern. Although Xiao FengYang was Xiao YanXue's second grandfather, he had always loved Xiao YanXue as if she was his own daughter. Although they had only been separated for a short while, he was still very worried about her. The fact that the Shangguan Family dared to lay their hands on Xiao YanXue was truly infuriated.
Xiao YanXue shook her head. She naturally understood the meaning behind his question and said, "I'm fine." She couldn't help but look around, hoping to see that unruly black figure again.
Seeing that Xiao YanXue was safe and sound, Xiao FengYang finally relaxed. If something had happened to Xiao YanXue, then as the elder who brought the younger generation out on a trip, he would have lost all his face. Not to mention his family, he wouldn't even be able to get past himself!
After listening to Xiao YanXue's narration, Xiao FengYang couldn't help but be baffled. However, there wasn't a single bit of information about the enemy in Xiao YanXue's memories. When Xiao FengYang saw Xiao YanXue, his original plan to completely annihilate the Shangguan Family was immediately foiled.
By the time the group of people escorted Xiao YanXue back to the Ling House, it was already the latter half of the night. When Grandfather Ling and his wife heard the news, they personally came out to welcome them. Ling Xiao and his wife were also among them. They asked about their well-being, and everyone was finally able to put down their biggest worries. Knowing that Xiao YanXue had suffered quite a shock, Chu Ting 'er pulled Xiao YanXue into her embrace and comforted her gently.
Xiao YanXue repeatedly expressed her thanks. She looked around, but couldn't find Ling Tian's shadow. She couldn't help but feel annoyed in her heart. She thought to herself, A second-generation rich kid is indeed a second-generation rich kid. With such a huge matter happening in his own family, he can still sleep like a dragon. He is indeed a piece of trash! However, facing the Ling family's undisguised concern, Xiao YanXue was extremely grateful in her heart.
At this moment, Ling Tian had already sneaked into his own courtyard and changed his clothes. Only then did he call Ling Chen over. His eyes were fixed on Ling Chen, but he didn't say anything.
Ling Chen saw that Ling Tian's expression seemed to be somewhat serious. She couldn't help but blink and lower her head. She knew what Ling Tian wanted to ask, but she didn't know where to start.
Ling Tian pointed to the chair beside the bed and said gently, "Sit down and tell me what happened."
Ling Chen nodded and sat down with her head lowered. She said in a low voice, "After Young Master followed that person out, this servant discovered that someone had snuck into the Xiao family's courtyard. This servant followed them to investigate, and just happened to see them use knockout powder to knock Miss Xiao out. This servant was about to step forward to save Miss Xiao when I suddenly remembered what Old Madame said." At this point, Ling Chen raised her gaze slightly and glanced at Ling Tian.
Ling Tian's heart was as clear as day. "You remembered that Grandmother wanted me to marry Xiao YanXue no matter what? So you let this group of black-clothed people go? You knew that I followed that group of black-clothed people, so you planned to give this opportunity to save Xiao YanXue to me? You wanted me to put on a show of a hero saving a damsel in distress? " Using this opportunity to win Xiao YanXue's heart? "Ling Tian's voice was calm, but every word he said had a sharp edge to it. It was also filled with a faint sense of self-mockery.
"Yes!" Ling Chen lowered her head again. Ling Tian had already said all of her thoughts. Ling Chen was happy that her Young Master could completely understand her thoughts, but at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a faint trace of bitterness in her heart. As a woman, she had to create an opportunity for the man she loved to have another woman who was equally outstanding. Wasn't this a kind of sorrow? Even if Ling Chen's love for Ling Tian had reached the point of no return, even if Ling Chen knew that she could never become Ling Tian's legal wife in this life, in her heart, she couldn't completely ignore it!
"Then you were worried that I didn't meet them, or that these two groups of people were not on the same path. You still chased after them, prepared to save Xiao YanXue in case there was an accident?"
"En."
Ling Tian sighed deeply, stood up, and pulled Ling Chen into his arms. Ling Chen obediently nestled in his arms, a faint sense of satisfaction rising in her heart.
"Chen 'er, you still don't understand me!" Ling Tian sighed. "In this world, how many women are worthy of Ling Tian's wholehearted devotion? Even more so, how many women are worthy of my wholehearted pursuit? Haha … If it's BingYan, it's easier to say. Although BingYan has a thousand-year-old family behind her, it's obvious that Tamago doesn't have the same ambition as me. Besides, BingYan also gives me a special feeling, as if she's my little sister. Perhaps it's because of her childhood experience, she always gives me a subtle feeling that I can't help but want to protect her. However, if we're talking about marriage, it's not necessarily the case right now! I can only say that Yu BingYan has a certain weight in my heart. There's no doubt about that. "
"Then, then what about the little princess of the Xiao family? Miss Xiao is very beautiful. None of the princesses and young ladies that I've met before can compare to her. I believe that Miss Tamago's true appearance is only so-so. Young Master, are you not moved at all? "Ling Chen asked in a low voice.
"Beautiful? So what? There are so many beautiful women in this world. Can your Young Master have all of them? Do I have the ability to have all of them? " Ling Tian laughed, "If I want to have a woman for myself just because she's beautiful, then Chen 'er, you've really underestimated your Young Master. Your Young Master is not a flower vase collector."
Ling Tian paused for a moment before continuing, "Xiao family was originally betrothed to me before she was born. Back then, I was the one who ruined the marriage because of the huge ambition of the Xiao family, as well as the strength and wealth of the Xiao family to support their ambitions. Indeed, if our Ling family and Xiao family were to join forces, we would have the confidence to overthrow the entire Sky Bearing Empire in a single night, exterminating the Yang Family. Then, with the three thousand miles of mountains and rivers of the Xiao family as our base and rear, we would be able to make use of the geography of Sky Bearing to attack from all directions. Hehe. "
Ling Chen was bewildered, "Young Master, isn't this exactly what you want to do? With such benefits and convenience, why would you … "
Ling Tian snorted and said, "That's exactly what I want to do. But if that's the case, then the Xiao family will be the main force, and my Ling family will only be a subsidiary of the Xiao family. What's the point of that? If all our efforts are for the Xiao family to obtain the world, then what would we get? We might even be sacrificed as cannon fodder! That's just too stupid! How is this something that I, Ling Tian, should do?! Besides, how would I, your Young Master, be willing to be subordinate to others? "
"Xiao YanXue is indeed very beautiful, but don't forget that she is also the little princess of the Xiao family! This identity is enough for me to stay away from her! Furthermore, this lady's schemes are not simple, and she is definitely not an ordinary lady. If she wants to gain my approval, she would have to give up the noble identity of the Xiao family. Secondly, her Xiao family would have to be of use to me. If not, I would definitely not dare to keep her by my side. However, these two possibilities are extremely slim, hehe. "Ling Tian said leisurely.
"I see, Young Master, Chen 'er was wrong. Young Master, please forgive me. "Ling Chen said softly, her little head rubbing against Ling Tian's chest like a spoiled child.
Ling Tian snorted and kissed her on the cheek, "I have my own plans for my marriage. Chen 'er, you will be wronged if you get involved in these matters. Leave everything to me."
"Mmm!" Ling Chen's eyes could not help but turn red, and she sniffled, burying her face deep into Ling Tian's chest, replying with a nasal voice.
Just when Sky Bearing City was getting more and more lively, Tamago in the Northern Wei was completely peaceful.
In the Moon Climbing Star Picking Tower, Yu ManLou sat in front of the window, leisurely admiring the scenery outside. He was still filled with interest towards the scenery that had remained the same for the past few decades. Hearing the sound of the rain outside the window, Yu ManLou's deep eyes did not reveal any emotions.
