But it was also this man who had given Shui QianRou a heavy blow at the same time that he had saved her life!
He might have arrived early, but he did not appear early. He had the ability to save her guards, but he did not do so! If he were to make a move, even if he couldn't save more people from the green-dressed man, he would at least be able to save two Elders Zheng when the Yu Family Elder launched his attack after the green-dressed man left! Thinking of the two elders, the miserable state of their deaths appeared in Shui QianRou's mind. Why? Why didn't you make a move earlier …
Was it too late?! If he had made a move a moment later, even Die'er and herself would not have been able to escape this fate. He had saved her at the most critical moment, but she did not have the slightest bit of gratitude!
Because Shui QianRou was clear that there must be a reason why Ling Tian had saved her. Could it be that he liked her? Shui QianRou laughed miserably. That was definitely not the case! His name was Ling Tian, and he wanted to be Ling Tian. He must have an even greater motive!
Of course, she had always been confident in her intelligence and charm. But facing Ling Tian, her intelligence and charm had long been trampled to nothing! He definitely would not covet her beauty, and did not even have the intention of subduing her! Otherwise, he wouldn't have just stood by and watched without lifting a finger until the very last moment to lend a hand! At the very least, he would have saved the two elders …
But at the same time that Shui QianRou was thinking, she had neglected a very important fact. Or perhaps it should be said that she had subconsciously avoided this fact. This fact was that she and Ling Tian had always been enemies. Even if they had maintained a friendly relationship on the surface, they had never been friends! It could even be said that they were enemies who fought to the death! Just like how she could ruthlessly kill Ling Tian, no matter how Ling Tian wanted to deal with her, it was also a matter of course!
Women, their way of thinking was so strange at times! Even the intelligent Shui QianRou was no exception!
"Prince Ling, this little girl here thanks young noble for saving my life. I will repay your kindness in the future. If young noble does not have any other instructions, we will part ways here. The mountains are high and the rivers are long. I'm sure we'll meet again. "Shui QianRou covered her clothes with one hand and said calmly. Although her voice was calm, her heart was trembling. With this question, it was time for him to reveal his trump card. He was about to see how he was going to deal with him.
What was to come would come, and running away from it was never the best solution!
During this time, Ling Tian gathered the pine needles into a small pile and separated them from the surrounding trees. He lit the pine needles with a lighter and immediately extinguished the fire. Immediately, thick smoke billowed out. There was no wind in the sky. Suddenly, a column of smoke shot straight up into the sky.
Shui QianRou stared at the bonfire and revealed a desolate smile. Was this a signal to his subordinates? It seemed that in his eyes, she was already his prisoner.
"Eh? Brother Qian is too courteous. I just happened to be there at the right time. It's not worth mentioning. However … "Ling Tian pressed down on the burning pine needles and smiled. Then, he said meaningfully," Brother Qian, no, it should be Miss Shui. Do you want to leave now? Don't you feel that there are some things that you have yet to finish? "
Shui QianRou's heart jumped. He really had other motives! She could not help but ask, "This little girl is after all a girl. It's inconvenient for me to go out. That's why I disguised myself as a man. It's not that I want to deceive young noble. As for what I have yet to finish? This little girl really does not understand. Young noble, please enlighten me. "
Ling Tian chuckled. However, his eyes were as sharp as a knife. "Miss Shui is so intelligent. Have you forgotten that I, Ling Tian, am Ling Xiao's son? If that's the case, does Miss remember something?! "
Shui QianRou's heart skipped a beat. She quickly thought, Could it be that he knows something? Or did someone leak the news? If the news is really leaked, there will be no turning back for this matter! Her mind raced, but her face remained expressionless. She chuckled softly, "Prince Ling is naturally General Ling's son. This is something that everyone knows. This little girl naturally understands as well. Why does young noble have to joke around? It's just that young noble's joke has made this little girl even more confused! "
Ling Tian chuckled and suddenly changed the topic. With a relaxed tone, he said, "As everyone knows, Miss Tamago, Tamago's Third Master, Yu ManTian, and I are good friends despite our age difference. Especially in the recent period of time, we have been getting along very well. I really admire his character. Tamago is the number one martial arts aristocratic family in the world with great strength. They definitely have the ability to destroy my Ling family. Miss Shui had once tried to assassinate me in the Smoky Thea Tower. Her sword was merciless! "
Ling Tian laughed self-deprecatingly and raised his head. "But today, I, Ling Tian, actually killed two elders of Tamago in order to save a girl who tried to assassinate me! I didn't hesitate to form such a huge enmity! Does Miss Shui know why? "
Shui QianRou's heart sank and the wound on her chest seemed to have started to hurt. With great difficulty, she said, "This little girl thanks young noble's kindness once again. As the saying goes, if one sees injustice on the road, one should help the weak. That elder of Tamago was tyrannical and bullied this little girl. Young noble is a chivalrous person with a heart of swords and a heart of zither. Could it be that this is not the case? This little girl is truly foolish. I don't know what young noble's words mean. "
Shui QianRou was indeed worthy of being the successor of Water of Heavenly Wind. Not only was she intelligent, but she was also able to speak frankly in such a predicament. With just a few turns of her words, she had already praised Ling Tian as a great hero. If it was someone else with a heart of chivalry, they would definitely not speak of this matter!
But it was a pity that the person she met was Ling Tian!
Ling Tian snorted and said solemnly, "The important figures of Tamago, Third Master Tamago, have a good relationship with me. Miss BingYan is also my confidante. The strength of Tamago is also not something that I can contend against. But I actually dared to risk universal condemnation and killed two elders of Tamago! All for the sake of saving a common enemy of mine. If news of this matter were to spread out, Tamago will definitely be irreconcilable with me! To think that such a ridiculous matter would actually be done by me, Ling Tian, and Miss Shui doesn't find it strange at all? Or do you really think that this young noble is some great hero? "
Shui QianRou waited solemnly, but her tone became even more gentle and pleasant, "Young noble's abilities are heaven-defying, and your chivalrous character is respected by the world. How can your actions be judged by common sense?"
Ling Tian burst out into laughter and suddenly raised his head. His sharp gaze seemed to pierce through the depths of Shui QianRou's heart, staring at her for a long while. Under his gaze, Shui QianRou could not help but lower her head. All of a sudden, Ling Tian went straight to the point, "The Northern Wei and Sky Bearing must have given the Shui Family quite a few benefits, right? I believe that these so-called promises would definitely not be able to move Water of Heavenly Wind, right? " This simple sentence was infused with Ling Tian's inner qi. While the volume of his voice was low, it was like thunder rumbling in the sky!
If it was the usual Shui QianRou, she would naturally not be bothered by it. However, she had yet to recover from her injuries and her inner qi was almost depleted. After being roared at by Ling Tian, she felt a wave of dizziness and her thoughts became chaotic. She closed her eyes and calmed herself down before replying, "This little girl really does not know what Prince Ling's intentions are. Towards young noble's questions, it is as though I am shrouded in fog. Thus, I do not know how to reply. "
Ling Tian laughed out loud, but his laughter was filled with a bone-chilling coldness! "Miss Shui, I will let you know, and I will also let you understand, and I will also let you answer any of my questions!" His face was right in front of her as he said fiercely, "I really want to know, without an important person like you, without the support of Water of Heavenly Wind, just what kind of tricks can that stupid Crown Prince, Wei Chengping, and that spineless Emperor, Long Xiang, of the Northern Wei come up with?!"
Shui QianRou's eyes lit up for a moment before returning to its previous gloominess. However, she stubbornly bit her lips and did not say a single word.
From afar, a rustling sound could be heard, and someone rushed in.
Ling Tian stood up and said coldly, "It doesn't matter if Miss Shui is unwilling to cooperate. In any case, the entire Ling family admires Miss, so I will invite Miss to stay as a guest in the Ling family for eight to ten years. When Miss wants to speak, it won't be too late. In truth, this young noble is not in a hurry at all."
A cold light flashed past Shui QianRou's eyes, "Just now, young noble said that you can't compare to Tamago. However, do you think that you can afford to offend the Han Family? Young noble might be able to entertain QianRou for a few days, but after a long time, the Ling family might not be able to afford it! "
After a verbal attack, she changed it into a threat. With the Water of Heavenly Wind being comparable to Tamago's strength, Shui QianRou's words could not be considered frightening words!
Ling Tian laughed coldly, "The Water of Heavenly Wind and Jade of Heavenly Star are both equally famous. This young noble naturally cannot afford to offend them …"
Shui QianRou did not reveal any joy on her face. She knew that Ling Tian definitely had more to say. How could someone who dared to kill Elder Tamago say that he did not dare to offend the Shui Family …
As expected, Ling Tian continued, "However, Miss is truly mistaken. Along the way to the North, Miss was chased by a peerless expert for thousands of miles. Fortunately, Elder Tamago lent a helping hand. However, Elder Tamago was not proficient enough and was killed by that peerless expert. In the end, Miss was also kidnapped by that peerless expert! If Shui and Yu are really interested in pursuing the matter, they will only pursue that peerless expert. What does it have to do with my Ling family?! I wonder if the Shui Family or Tamago has the ability to pursue that expert? "
Shui QianRou's eyes were filled with despair! Ling Tian is indeed brilliant. Even that peerless expert was calculated by him. That's right, Shui QianRou had already guessed who that peerless expert was. With that green-robed expert's strength, the Shui and Yu Families would definitely not be able to pursue the matter. In fact, they might even take the initiative to cease all activities. After all, no family in the world would be willing to have such a huge grudge for no reason!
According to Ling Tian's words, he already knew of our plan and did not come to save me! He actually did not care about me at all! But … but … he still missed out on something …
"Ling Tian, you shameless pervert! How can you treat our little princess like that?! " Die 'er cried out in anger, "Our little princess only became your enemy because of her family's orders. She has been dejected countless times because of a lecher like you. In the Smoky Thea Tower, our little miss has always been watching you. Our little miss is deeply in love with you and you actually treat her like that? Where is your conscience? Ling Tian, you are worse than a beast! "
