Xiao YanXue looked at Ling Tian's face and suddenly said in a low voice, "This little sister was kidnapped the last time. If not for Prince Ling saving me, I would have been consigned to eternal damnation. Words cannot express my gratitude for your kindness. Please accept another bow from this little sister! "As she said that, she bowed towards Ling Tian again.
After that incident, Xiao YanXue had thought about it many times and tried to sound out Ling Tian many times. While Ling Tian had never admitted it, Xiao YanXue was already clear in her heart! The person who saved her that night had a familiar figure and gaze. Apart from Ling Tian, who else could it be?
This time, Ling Tian hurriedly dodged to the side, unwilling to accept her bow. Waving his hands, he said with a smile, "It was just a small matter, Miss Xiao need not take it to heart." As he said that, he gave a meaningful smile and said, "Being loyal and knowing how to repay kindness, Miss Xiao is indeed a descendant of the Xiao family. Is this the third thing that Miss Xiao wants to do? "
Xiao YanXue had just stood up, but upon hearing his words, her face turned red! She stood there awkwardly, her face alternating between green and white, unable to say a word. With her intelligence, how could she not hear the mockery and sarcasm in Ling Tian's words?
The Xiao family and Ling family did not know each other originally. It was only because Xiao FengHan was roaming the world that he met Old Master Lin Zhan. The two of them became sworn brothers and roamed the pugilistic world together, experiencing life and death situations together. Lin Zhan was older and was the elder brother. Thus, he took care of his younger brother, Xiao FengHan. Old Lady Ling also treated this sworn brother of his as her own brother. Xiao FengHan had once said that if not for his elder brother Lin Zhan and sister-in-law, he would have died more than ten times.
After the establishment of the Sky Bearing Empire, Lin Zhan's meritorious deeds were unparalleled, and he became a figure above everyone else in Sky Bearing. As for Xiao FengHan, he became the new family head of the Xiao family. The two brothers could be said to have reached the pinnacle of their respective fields. It was at this time that the marriage between the Xiao and Ling Families was decided in order to strengthen the ties between the two families and maintain good relations with each other.
Following the rapid expansion of the Xiao family's strength, the ambitions of the Xiao family and Xiao FengHan also grew bigger and bigger. Especially after seeing how loyal Lin Zhan was to Sky Bearing, he knew that if he were to stir up trouble, Lin Zhan might not respond to him. Thus, he gradually reduced his interactions with Lin Zhan and continued to make preparations for his Xiao family. She even took advantage of Ling Tian's stubbornness and forced the Ling family to break off the engagement. Otherwise, with Ling Tian's performance after the incident, even if Xiao FengHan had to embarrass himself, he would still rearrange the engagement!
From then on, while the two families still interacted with each other, their relationship was no longer as good as before. Xiao FengHan felt that he had let down his brother and sister-in-law, and disappeared from Sky Bearing for the past ten years. Now that the world was about to be stirred up, the opportunity that the Xiao family needed was right in front of them. Xiao FengHan was naturally unwilling to let go of such a good opportunity, and thus sent Xiao FengYang and Xiao YanXue to Sky Bearing to add fuel to the fire, especially making use of the Heaven Splitter to stir up strife in the world. When they came to Sky Bearing, they immediately moved into the Ling family, not only did they not have the intention to make use of the Ling family, but they could also drag the Ling family into the muddy waters from the start. Now that they had succeeded, they had also pushed Sky Bearing and the Ling family to the cusp of the storm!
From start to finish, apart from Ling Tian who was still young back then, the rest of the three generations of the Ling family were not wary of the Xiao family at all. Even for Ling Tian, while he had some thoughts about the Xiao family, he did not take any action apart from gathering intelligence. With so many things happening between the two families, it could be said that the Xiao family was in the wrong. To put it nicely, it was for the sake of the world, but to put it bluntly, it was a classic example of ingratitude!
Now that the Xiao family had achieved their objective, they were about to leave Sky Bearing and return to the Southeast to wait for an opportunity to stir up trouble. However, with the departure of the Xiao family, the Ling family was pushed into an extremely awkward situation. Who in the world did not know of the relationship between the two families? With the relationship between the two families, if it was said that the Xiao family did not have any involvement in the Ling family's plans, no one would believe it!
Furthermore, the Ling family was located in Sky Bearing, which was the most prosperous region in the continent. The moment the world was thrown into chaos, they would definitely be the first to bear the brunt of it, and could be said to be isolated and without help! It was as though the Ling family was about to be wiped out. However, all of this was caused by the Xiao family!
Was it really unintentional?!
Thus, when Xiao YanXue said her goodbyes, she did not say what would happen in the future. It was obvious that the Xiao family had already made use of the Ling family, and it was time for them to abandon them! Even Xiao YanXue herself felt that her family had gone too far in this matter! Hearing Ling Tian's mockery, how could Xiao YanXue remain unmoved? Could a single apology really resolve this matter?
A cold light flashed past Ling Tian's eyes, and he chuckled, "Miss Xiao specially came to say your goodbyes, and this Ling Tian is really overwhelmed by your favor. The journey to the Southeast is long, and the mountains are high. Take care of yourselves, and we may not meet again in the future. Miss Xiao, please take care of yourself! "This sentence was equivalent to an order for her to leave.
How could Xiao YanXue not hear it? She sighed lightly, stood up, and said softly, "The Han family's actions may have been a little thoughtless, and we have let down the Ling family and Prince Ling. YanXue would like to apologize to young noble once again. " After hesitating for a while, she suddenly said resolutely, "If Prince Ling is in any danger, you only need to send someone to inform me, and YanXue will definitely lead my troops to help. This is to repay the Ling family's kindness and Prince Ling's kindness. "This sentence was equivalent to making a promise to save the Ling family from danger.
From the looks of it, the Ling family had Ling Tian's sudden appearance, and their reputation in the Sky Bearing Empire was like the sun in the sky. However, no matter how strong the Ling family was, they were still a new family. No matter how strong Ling Tian was, he would not be able to support the entire Sky Bearing Empire by himself. Even if the Ling family could control the entire Sky Bearing Empire, in Xiao YanXue's eyes, as long as the conflict over the Heaven Splitter erupted, the Ling family would definitely be the first to bear the brunt of the chaos in the Sky Bearing Empire, and it would be difficult for them to escape the fate of defeat!
Today, Xiao YanXue's promise could be used as a protective talisman for the Ling family in the future! Under the circumstances where the Ling family had already given up on the Ling family, for Xiao YanXue to make such a decision without the Ling family's permission was already extremely commendable.
Ling Tian let out a cold laugh, and said half-heartedly, "Ah ah, if such a day really comes, I will naturally have to ask Miss Xiao for help. Ling Tian thanks you, and in order to thank Miss Xiao for her kindness, if Miss Xiao is in any danger, you only need to send someone to inform me, and I will definitely come to your aid. In order to repay Miss Xiao's kindness today, "his words were full of sarcasm!
After bidding farewell and leaving Ling Tian's courtyard, Xiao YanXue's heart was actually at a loss. She walked a few steps without realizing it, and couldn't help but turn back to look. From inside, she could vaguely hear Ling Tian's laughter and Ling Chen's coquettishly pouting. All of this sounded so intimate to Xiao YanXue, yet so distant at the same time. She suddenly felt a sense of sorrow in her heart. Even though she was the only daughter of the largest financial magnate, and had a high chance of becoming the eldest princess of a country in the future, the feeling of an ordinary woman being protected by the man she loved the most, was actually as far as the distance between heaven and earth! As for Ling Chen, even though she was exceptionally talented, she was still Ling Tian's servant. However, this servant was able to enjoy the happiness that she would never be able to obtain.
She stood there in a daze, her mind in a mess. Perhaps, after she left, the dispute over the Heaven Splitter would definitely turn this place that she had dreamt of into a pile of rubble and ashes? What about the person in her heart? What would happen to him?
With Ling Tian's arrogance, why would he reach out to a woman like her for help in the face of disaster? Xiao YanXue stomped her feet in frustration. It seemed that she had to be careful at all times.
Xiao YanXue looked at it one last time, and finally turned around to leave.
At the entrance of the Ling family, Grandfather Ling and the rest were still bidding farewell to Xiao FengYang. Both parties had complicated expressions on their faces. Xiao YanXue stood at the side with her head lowered, occasionally glancing at the Ling family's inner courtyard. However, Ling Tian's tall figure did not appear at all. Finally, the two families finished exchanging greetings. Xiao family members got on their horses, and Xiao YanXue's eyes were empty. That man who was supposed to be her fiancé, but who she had lost due to a freak combination of factors, why did he not appear? Could it be that I have no place in his heart at all? Could it be that I'm not even comparable to a servant?!
Xiao FengYang let out a long sigh. Deep in his eyes, there was a trace of regret. He said gently, "Xue-er, get on the horse." With regards to Xiao YanXue's thoughts, Xiao FengYang was naturally aware of it, but he was also at his wit's end! In this period of time, Ling Tian's talent, martial arts, decisiveness, and viciousness were all seen by him. His disdain towards Ling Tian had turned into admiration, and he even felt ashamed of his inferiority. However, the situation had already been decided, and the relationship between the Xiao and Ling families had to be temporarily severed. He could only sigh helplessly towards Xiao YanXue's thoughts. If things were to continue developing like this, the Ling family would have no hope of surviving, and Ling Tian would naturally not be spared. Xiao YanXue's thoughts would probably become a desolate memory in the near future.
An hour later, at the southern gates of Sky Bearing, a group of cavalrymen galloped out of the city, and a cloud of dust rose from the official road. Xiao YanXue was at the back of the group, and after galloping for a distance, she suddenly turned around, looking at the thick city walls of Sky Bearing with tears in her eyes.
You must be fine! You must be fine! No matter if it is for the person you love, or for anything else, you must definitely work hard to survive! …
Xiao YanXue's lips trembled as she muttered under her breath, her tears falling like rain. Under the setting sun, a long shadow could be seen. The Xiao family waited from afar with complicated expressions on their faces.
After a long while, Xiao YanXue suddenly turned the horse's head around and crazily whipped the horse's thigh. The healthy horse let out a long neigh and stood up on its hind legs. Then, like an arrow leaving the bow, it violently rushed out. The Xiao family let out a whistle, and chased after the horse, leaving behind a trail of dust!
This feeling can become a memory, but at that time, it was already lost!
Everything had never started, so how could it end? From today onwards, everything will be in a dream! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
