If both Ling Tian and Water of Heavenly Wind were to suffer heavy losses, they might even be able to wipe out the two families! At that time, even if Beyond Heavens were to find out, it would already be too late. Furthermore, the continent still needed a large family like Tamago to act as a deterrent. No matter how angry Beyond Heavens was, for the sake of the stability of the continent, they would definitely not take action against Tamago.
After that, if they were able to suppress those small families, they would be able to establish Tamago as the number one family in the world. At that time, they would be able to have whatever they wanted. Even if they wanted to rule the continent, what was wrong with that?! After Tamago grew stronger, what was there to fear from Beyond Heavens?
After all, martial arts wasn't enough to decide everything. One had to have a strategic foresight and strategy!
Yu ManLou was indeed an ambitious and ruthless character! His foresight had actually reached such a farsighted stage! However, this was something that Yu ManTang couldn't understand. He thought that his big brother was doing this for the sake of his daughter's happiness and had already made a decision that went against the interests of the family.
"Big brother, regarding the news that the Northern Wei sent assassins to Sky Bearing to assassinate third brother and BingYan, why don't we make the first move? Big brother, what do you think?" Yu ManTang suddenly thought of this matter and couldn't help but ask.
"This isn't a good idea!" Yu ManLou immediately rejected this idea. "This matter is too fishy and we should observe the situation first. Over at Sky Bearing, Third Brother and a few other White Jade experts should be there. With their martial arts, they should be able to escape with their lives. As for BingYan, there is no need to worry. With Ling Tian by her side, the assassins that Wei ChengPing can hire are nothing more than a joke. "
"Besides, I suspect," Yu ManLou furrowed his brows, "Could this matter be a plot against Tamago? Since Wei Chengping has decided to assassinate third brother and BingYan, how secretive is this matter?! Why is it so easy for us to receive this news? Isn't he afraid that Tamago will make the first move and wipe out the Northern Wei Imperial Family? They should know that our Tamago has the strength to do so! As the saying goes, if something is out of the ordinary, it must be a demon. There must be something strange going on here! "
Tamago could not help but frown, "That's right. After hearing what big brother said, I feel that there are indeed many suspicious points in this matter. That's right, no matter how gutsy Wei Chengping is, how would he dare to provoke my Tamago?"
Yu Manlou chuckled. "There must be something fishy about this matter. Even if the Water of Heavenly Wind is not involved, it must be one of my enemies! Since they are waiting for us to react, they must have made preparations to deal with it. In order to ensure the safety of Third Brother and BingYan, we decided to bide our time. The best strategy is to wait patiently for them to make their next move! "
Yu ManTang's eyes lit up, "That's right. Under the circumstances where they do not receive any news from us, they only have two choices. The first is to retreat silently and the second is to continue with their next plan. Regardless of which choice they choose, under the careful preparations of our Yu Family, there will definitely be traces of us being exposed. At that time, we can strike like a thunderbolt! We will definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort! "
"That's right!" Yu ManLou praised. However, an unfathomable glint could be seen in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. While this smile looked amiable, if one were to look carefully, they would be able to see that in his amiable smile, every single wrinkle seemed to be filled with cruelty and viciousness …
The prison caravan that was over a thousand feet long slowly moved forward, and they had already reached the outskirts of Sky Bearing City. In just a few miles, they would arrive at the majestic Ling House.
A group of people rushed out of the southern gate like a tornado, and the ones leading them were the upper echelons of the Ling family! Old Master Lin Zhan and General Ling Xiao both had faces full of anger, and their eyes seemed as though they were about to spit fire. This was especially so for Ling Zhan, who had a complicated look in his eyes. One could faintly see a tinge of reluctance and pity! However, there was even more anger and endless sadness in his eyes! On the contrary, General Ling Tian, who was by the side, had a calm expression!
Behind them, there were a few luxurious carriages, with Old Lady Ling, Chu Ting'er, and the rest seated within. Ling Tian was worried that something would happen to Yu BingYan if she were to be left alone in the residence. After all, the assassins from the Northern Wei had already arrived in Sky Bearing, and they had to be on guard. Thus, he brought her along, and let Ling Chen and Yu BingYan sit in the same carriage as well, to ensure their safety.
Yu BingYan was lovable, lively, and obedient. Ling Chen was gentle, and her thoughts were meticulous. After this period of interaction, Yu BingYan and Ling Chen were already like sisters, and there was no distinction between them.
As for the Xiao family, they followed the other aristocratic families into the Smoky Thea Tower. Firstly, they were embarrassed, and secondly, they did not have an excuse to stay in the Ling family. Thus, they unwillingly moved into the Smoky Thea Tower.
However, Xiao YanXue had been visiting the residence frequently to greet Old Lady Ling and Chu Ting'er, and also to look for Ling Chen for guidance on music. After a few rounds of interaction, the three ladies could be said to have a harmonious relationship.
After the Xiao family moved into the Smoky Thea Tower, Yu ManTian, who was already itching for a fight, immediately found an excuse to fight with Xiao FengYang! Xiao FengYang's brain was not bad, but his martial arts could not be compared to Yu ManTian's. Thus, he was easily dealt with in a few moves. As a martial arts fanatic, Yu ManTian was naturally dissatisfied, and scolded him for being an embroidered pillow. Helpless, he could only give up.
As for Gu XiYan, before the Xiao family moved into the Smoky Thea Tower, Ling Tian had already given her a stern warning! He ordered her not to lay a hand on the Xiao family in the Smoky Thea Tower, and even hinted that if the rest of the people in the Smoky Thea Tower were to follow him wholeheartedly, then the revival of the Shang Guan Family would not be impossible!
Gu XiYan, who was originally in despair, seemed to have grasped onto her last straw of hope. Furthermore, the quality of this straw seemed to be rather good. After thanking Ling Tian profusely, she naturally did not dare to defy his orders in the slightest!
As for the XiMen Family, who provoked Ling Tian for no reason and had their master and four servants killed mercilessly by Ling Tian, they did not make any moves at all! Their movements were also extremely secretive! Originally, the various aristocratic families wanted to watch the show, and use the XiMen Family as a testing ground to see the hidden strength of the number one young noble in Sky Bearing. However, they were all greatly disappointed!
While the XiMen Family was content with their current situation and did not provoke Ling Tian, as one of the Eight Great Families, the XiMen Family's display of weakness was looked down upon by the other aristocratic families! Their own son was killed, and they did not even let out a fart. How could they be considered one of the Eight Great Families? They had really thrown away all their face! Unknowingly, the XiMen Family had been belittled.
The only two who felt depressed were the two brothers, Xue Leng and Xue Fei. The two of them were originally the bodyguards who escorted Yu BingYan to the south. Who would have thought that the situation would change so drastically after Yu ManTian came to Sky Bearing! After being trampled on by Yu ManTian for two days, the two of them went to look for Ling Tian to discuss returning to the Ling family to continue their duty of protecting Yu BingYan. However, they were chased out by Ling Tian. From then on, the two of them became the punching bags for Yu ManTian to vent his anger on!
The thing that puzzled the two of them the most was that Yu ManTian would sneak out every morning without saying where he went. However, when he returned to the Smoky Thea Tower in the afternoon, his clothes would be in tatters, his body bruised, and his head full of bumps! Even so, he had a look of satisfaction on his face! During this period of time, Yu ManTian had been changing his clothes extremely diligently. His brand new robes would turn into those of a beggar the moment he left the house. Every day, he would leave the house in fresh clothes and return in a sorry state. However, he still looked extremely happy! In just a few days, just changing his clothes had cost him close to a thousand taels of silver!
Xue Leng and Xue Fei were bewildered in their hearts. However, the moment they asked Yu ManTian about it, the happy Yu ManTian immediately flew into a rage and gave them a good beating. From then on, they never dared to ask him again.
It wasn't that the two of them had never thought of following Yu ManTian. However, they would always be discovered and beaten up! Now, the two of them had also thought things through. As long as Yu ManTian's life was not in danger and he was happy, he could do whatever he wanted! Thus, the moment Yu ManTian left the house, the two of them would either sleep or go out to drink. However, every time they drank, they would think of the fine wine in Ling Tian's residence and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. In that instant, they felt that the so-called fine wine in front of them was extremely tasteless, as though they were chewing wax.
As for the other aristocratic families, they all treated the Yu Family with the cold eyes of a bystander. This was especially so for those experts who had suffered under Yu ManTian's hands. Every afternoon, they would gather at the entrance of the Smoky Thea Tower to welcome Yu ManTian and wait for him to return in a sorry state. When they saw him return in such a sorry state, they would immediately burst into laughter and whistles. All of them were in high spirits and felt that they had vented their anger. However, Yu ManTian didn't seem to mind at all. He would always smile and even shout along with the rest, causing everyone to feel extremely bored.
Those little fellows really didn't give Third Master Yu any face! Only on the first day of Yu ManTian's visit did Ling Chi personally apologize to Yu ManTian and thank him for showing mercy. This gave Third Master Yu a lot of face. In the subsequent sparring sessions, Yu ManTian could feel that those little fellows had intentionally retracted their killing intent, creating an atmosphere that was purely for sparring.
