"I thought … so … sigh." Yu BingYan hesitated, but the meaning behind her words was clear to the other two.
The courtyard door opened and a person walked in. Dressed in black, it was a youth. His facial features were clear and handsome, but the expression on his handsome face was rigid. The light in his eyes was as sharp as an eagle's.
"Ling Jian? Why are you here? " Princess Jiao Yue often visited the Ling family and recognized this trusted subordinate of Ling Tian. She couldn't help but ask in surprise.
When Ling Jian saw the three girls, he couldn't help but be surprised.
Under normal circumstances, Ling Jian wouldn't appear here during the day unless there was something urgent. But today, Ling Jian received a very important piece of news. This was no small matter. He had to let Ling Tian know immediately and formulate a countermeasure. Only then would Ling Jian be at ease and rush over. Who knew that when he arrived, not only was Ling Tian not there, but there were also three beauties in the courtyard looking at him as if he was a rare animal.
"Oh, Your Highness is also here. I came to find Young Master for some matters. Since Young Master is not here, this humble one will take his leave." Since Ling Tian wasn't here, Ling Jian felt that there was no point in staying any longer and wanted to leave. He thought to himself, I'll come again tonight. Looking up at the sky, the red sun was setting in the west and the sky was filled with rosy clouds. It was already dusk.
"Wait! Ling Jian, I have something to ask you. " Princess Jiao Yue looked at him with a smile that wasn't a smile. "Ling Jian, you're pretty good. To be able to play along with your Young Master and treat this princess like a fool for so many years, isn't it interesting?"
Ling Jian was a little embarrassed. If any other princess dared to speak like this, he would probably stab her with his sword and kill her. Even if she was a member of the royal family, she was no exception! But Princess Jiao Yue was an exception! After all, she was Ling Ran's daughter and Ling Tian's cousin! Ling Jian didn't know how to reply. Could it be that Princess Jiao Yue already knew about the young master? Judging from her expression, it was very likely! He couldn't help but ask cautiously, "Princess, what do you mean? Uh, I don't really understand. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave. "
Although Ling Jian's status could no longer be treated as a servant, and no one in the Ling family dared to look down on Ling Tian's favorite people. Ling Tian's direct descendants were even more respectful and obedient to him. But now in front of Princess JiaoYue, under the circumstances of not knowing how much she knew, it was still necessary to put on a disguise.
"Hmph! You don't understand? "Princess JiaoYue snorted coldly," I think you understand it better than anyone else! Why aren't you telling me the truth? "
Ling Jian couldn't help but shut his mouth, and a chill suddenly rose from his body. He then said calmly, "There are some things that it would be better for Your Highness to ask the young master!" Ling Jian's words didn't sound like a servant speaking to his master, nor did it sound like he was speaking to the princess of an empire. In his tone, there was a bone-deep pride, and even a little disdain towards the Sky Bearing Imperial Family! One had to know that Ling Jian had been in charge of the First Pavilion for the past few years. Apart from Ling Tian, Old Lady Ling, and Ling Chen, there was no one else in the world that could enter his eyes. Recently, there was the addition of Yu ManTian. But not only was Yu ManTian's martial arts outstanding, he was also an upright and upright person who kept his promises. Thus, Ling Jian naturally held him in high regard!
What a joke, in this world, apart from the young master who can scold me, there is no one else in the world who can treat me, Ling Jian, like this! So what if you are the princess of the Sky Bearing Empire? If not for the fact that you are the cousin of the young master, I would have already killed you from the words you just said! Not to mention you, even the emperor of the Sky Bearing Empire, Long Xiang, would be nothing more than a dead soul under my, Ling Jian's, sword as long as the young master gives the order! All of you don't have the right to treat me like this!
After saying that, Ling Jian turned around to leave. Since when had anyone dared to speak to Princess Jiao Yue in such a manner? Even the empress, Yang Xue, would still have to be amiable when she saw her, even if she saw her as a thorn in her flesh! She didn't expect Ling Jian to be so daring! In that instant, Princess Jiao Yue was angered to the point her entire body turned cold, and her lips trembled, unable to say a single word.
Just as Ling Jian was about to leave, a servant hurried over and said, "Someone from the Wei Residence is here to invite Miss Wei back. Lord Wei and Madam Wei have important matters to discuss."
Princess Jiao Yue asked, "How many people came?"
That servant replied, "Two came, and one of them seems to be Butler Wei of the Wei Residence."
Princess Jiao Yue then thought about what happened on the way to the palace with Ling Tian, and could not help but worry for Wei XuanXuan. If Wei XuanXuan were to meet such a frivolous scoundrel, wouldn't she be in trouble? Now that the various aristocratic families had gathered in Sky Bearing, and all of them were of the same character, it was hard to guarantee that there wouldn't be a second such daring silkpants!
She couldn't help but frown, "Now that Sky Bearing isn't peaceful, and little sister XuanXuan is only going back with two people, will she be in danger? It's better to find someone to escort her. " Looking over, she realized that Ling Jian's figure was about to leave the courtyard, and could not help but exclaim, "Ling Jian, stop right there." She then turned around and instructed, "Go and tell Wang Tong to arrange a few people to escort Miss Wei back to the residence."
Ling Jian was already frustrated that he could not inform Ling Tian in time because he did not see him. Now that he heard that Princess Jiao Yue actually ordered the people of the Ling House around, and even had the intention to keep him for interrogation! Rolling his eyes, he could not help but blurt out, "There's no need for so many people, I'll just escort Miss Wei back home."
Princess Jiao Yue coldly snorted. Just as she was about to continue mocking him, she heard Yu BingYan's soft voice, "With this big brother escorting her, XuanXuan jie will be safe and sound. It's really good." As she spoke, she secretly gave Princess Jiao Yue a meaningful glance.
Seeing Ling Jian accompany Wei XuanXuan out, Princess Jiao Yue could not help but ask in bewilderment, "Why did little sister agree just now? This fellow doesn't even know any martial arts, how will he be able to protect little sister XuanXuan? "
"Princess, don't worry. Nothing will happen!" Yu BingYan smiled sweetly and said.
Yu BingYan's knowledge was not something that Princess Jiao Yue could compare to. After all, she was the descendant of Tamago. Although her body was unable to train in martial arts, her knowledge and eyesight were better than others. Although she had only met Ling Jian once, she had already sensed the cold aura that was emitted from Ling Jian's body. At that time, she was shocked. This Ling Jian's martial arts were actually extremely high, and he was even able to perfectly conceal his aura as a martial artist. This was already a strength that could only be revealed when one's inner strength was cultivated to a relatively high level, and he was only a step away from the XianTian realm! With such a cultivation, he was at least a White Jade expert. Considering Ling Jian's age, this was extremely rare and precious. Even in her own family, there was no one like him. His future was truly limitless! Although she had only interacted with Princess Jiao Yue for a short period of time, she already knew that the princess was kind-hearted. She could not bear to let her offend a future expert! How could any expert in the world place a princess in their eyes?!
One Ling Tian, one Ling Chen, that was already shocking enough. Who would have thought that now there was another Ling Jian!
In just a few days' time, she had already discovered three peerless experts in the Ling House! And they were all so young! Just how strong was the Ling family's strength?! Just how many experts were hidden in the Ling House? With such strength, how could any ordinary power provoke them?!
Yu BingYan's mind was in a whirl, and she could not help but recall the matter of the "Jade Maiden Pure Heart Sutra" that she had discovered in Ling Tian's study. She could not help but feel enlightened. That manual of inner strength cultivation, how was it some trash? It was clearly the medicine that Ling Tian had spent who knows how much effort to find for her! Thinking about Ling Tian's painstaking efforts, Yu BingYan's heart was filled with sweetness. Her eyes could not help but moisten slightly. At that time, Ling Tian did not want her to know his strength, but he was probably afraid that she would feel uneasy if she knew.
Yu BingYan leaned against the courtyard door in a daze. The breeze blew her hair and sleeves, and she was actually in a daze.
The Ling family was not very far from the Wei family, and it was only an hour's walk. It seemed that Wei Zheng Feng and his wife wanted to punish this' unfilial 'daughter of theirs, and actually did not send a sedan chair to fetch her. On the Ling family's side, the one who sent her over was Ling Jian, and he was also a master who did not know how to serve others. He only thought that if he could walk a thousand miles with his two feet, wouldn't the distance between the two families be covered with just a lift of his feet? Furthermore, Ling Jian did not come here just to send Wei XuanXuan back. He was only here to find an excuse to avoid Princess JiaoYue's endless interrogation. Regardless of how much Princess JiaoYue knew, without receiving orders from Ling Tian, Ling Tian would definitely not reveal a single useless thing!
However, Ling Jian had neglected an important matter! He had completely forgotten that Wei XuanXuan was a young miss who did not step out of the house. With her weak body, how would she be able to walk such a long distance?!
After walking a few steps, Wei XuanXuan's legs were already numb. In front of her, the butler of the Wei family would occasionally turn back to look at her with concern, but he did not seem to have any intention of stopping to wait. Wei XuanXuan's heart was filled with bitterness. She guessed that this was the intention of her parents to make her suffer! Her legs were still aching from the day she was dragged along by Yu ManTian. Now that she had walked such a long distance, her legs were aching even more.
