Ling Tian walked into the stone room slowly and asked the two guards who were guarding Shui QianRou, "How is Young Miss Shui's condition these few days?"
Ling Tian was asking about Shui QianRou's condition. Unexpectedly, the moment the question left his mouth, the two burly guards revealed an expression as though they wanted to cry but had no tears. "Good, she's still fine."
Ling Tian saw that their expressions were somewhat reminiscent of the past and could not help but ask, "What happened?"
"No … nothing." The burly guard was startled and stammered.
"En? Nothing?! "Ling Tian frowned." Speak, tell me everything clearly! "
The two guards were given a fright, and only then did they begin to explain in detail. The more Ling Tian listened, the more his brows furrowed, and in the end, his brows were tightly knitted together.
As it turned out, Shui QianRou's external injuries were not that serious. What was truly serious was her internal injuries. However, her internal injuries were also treated by Ling Tian. Furthermore, her internal injuries were already close to the XianTian realm. Thus, her recovery was extremely fast. In this period of time, she had already recovered completely!
But as her condition improved, the days of the guards also became more and more difficult. Young Miss Shui's requests were extremely righteous. Your Prince Ling had said that you would treat me well. Am I still a woman? A woman naturally needs to be clean and bathe. You guys have to prepare a bathtub for me and bring hot water over! Since I've already bathed, I should at least change my clothes right? Including my undergarments and outer garments, I need to change into them. How can a woman not have makeup? How can she not have a bronze mirror for dressing up? How can she not have a comb? How can she not have …
As Young Miss Shui's health improved day by day, her requests also increased. The tone of her requests also became more and more righteous, as if it was only right and proper, causing the guards to be unable to cope with her requests, all of them complaining incessantly. If it was an ordinary matter, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, women's underwear was one of the most taboo things for men in ancient times. One could imagine the scene of several burly men sneaking around to buy women's underwear … It was indeed a bit awkward. It was really not pleasant to hear.
The problem was that before Ling Tian left, he had told her that as long as she was not released, she could temporarily satisfy any of her requests, especially taking care of her injuries. At that time, Ling Tian had already treated Shui QianRou as an important bargaining chip in the negotiations with the Shui Family. How could he allow her to suffer any fatal injuries? Furthermore, Ling Tian had always felt the threat of the Yu Family and had always thought of forming an alliance with the Shui Family to deal with the Yu Family. In fact, he could even strike from both sides!
Of course, this was something that Ling Tian could only consider after his father, Ling Xiao, was out of danger. If something really happened to his father, then there would be no room for discussion. However, after this battle, while Ling Tian obtained a complete victory and even reaped a bountiful harvest, his heart grew heavier and heavier. The strength of the Yu Family had already reached the point where even Ling Tian was shocked by it. The Western Han had a general who controlled at least a third of the Western Han's military strength! If that was the case, then the Northern Wei, which was Tamago's main camp, would naturally be stronger. However, what about Eastern Zhao? Did the Wu Empire have them? Did the Southern Zheng have them? In fact, did Sky Bearing have them?!
Thinking about this, Ling Tian could not help but feel a chill run down his spine! The strength of a thousand-year-old family was indeed far beyond his expectations! He had indeed underestimated the world!
Ever since he returned, Ling Tian had been thinking about this problem. Tamago and the Shui Family, these two behemoths would definitely become the biggest obstacles in his quest for hegemony! With the current situation, regardless of which family it was, he could not give up easily. However, he could not get too close to them either! If not, he would definitely suffer the full force of the other family!
While Ling Tian was confident that he did not fear either family, he was not willing to suffer any unnecessary losses! The best outcome would be for him to strike from both sides. He would be able to ally with Tamago and not reject the Shui Family. However, he would try his best not to participate in the battle between the two families. As time passed, both families with their own ambitions would definitely clash with each other. If he could make good use of this situation … Ling Tian's heart was filled with wishful thinking.
However, this outcome had to be consensual. If not, it would be terrible if he ended up becoming a sacrificial lamb in the battle between the two families. This was especially so now that their relationship with the Shui Family had already reached such a state. As for how they would develop and which direction they would develop in, it was still unknown.
The reason why Ling Tian came to the courtyard today to meet Shui QianRou was to consider the feasibility of this matter. He wanted to sound out Shui QianRou's intentions first. However, when he heard about Shui QianRou's series of actions, Ling Tian could not help but frown. Just what was this lass planning?
After thinking for a long time, Ling Tian shook his head and said, "Open the door."
"Miss Shui, your complexion seems to be good these few days. Are you used to living here? It seems like my Ling family's food is more nourishing, right? " Ling Tian walked in with a grin and teased, "Look at how tender Miss Shui is. I really want to take a bite out of you to have a taste."
"Is that so? Then does Prince Ling really want to take a bite out of me? " Shui QianRou was dressed in a purple dress. Although she was sitting there quietly, her bearing was graceful and elegant. There was a hint of stubbornness on her beautiful face. Although the words she said seemed to have an ambiguous meaning, her tone was cold without any warmth.
"I don't want to, I don't want to." Ling Tian shook his head honestly and said in all seriousness, "My teeth aren't that good. If I were to break them, I wouldn't be able to eat anything anymore."
"Is that so?" Shui QianRou gritted her teeth and said, "Looking at how happy Prince Ling is, you must have won a great victory on the battlefield, right?"
"It was all thanks to Miss," Ling Tian said with a smile, "It was just a small victory, not worth mentioning."
"Is your father alright?" Shui QianRou asked angrily.
"It was all thanks to Miss. My father is still very healthy. "Ling Tian walked around the room before sitting down on the floor. Ling Chen naturally stood behind him as usual.
Shui QianRou suddenly exploded, "Since your father is fine, then why is Prince Ling still not letting us out?"
"En?" Ling Tian scratched his head and said, "Please forgive me for not having a good memory. When did I say that I would let you out?
Die'er who was at the side curled her lips and said, "How can you be like this? Do you have any credibility? I don't know who was the one who said that if it didn't involve his father's safety, he wouldn't be willing to make an enemy out of Miss! Now that your father is fine, you are still imprisoning us. You really have a mouth! You … "She wanted to continue mocking Ling Tian, but under Ling Tian's sharp gaze, she immediately shut her mouth! The slap and scolding back then had made this little girl really afraid of Ling Tian.
Ling Tian said leisurely, "Did I say that? This one's memory is not very good. At that time, only the two of you were present. No matter what, there were more of you, or perhaps I was forced! The Shui Family is a big family, how would a small family like us dare to provoke them? Even a little girl like you dares to steal the limelight and scold the host. The prestige of the Shui Family can be seen! "
One had to admit that Ling Tian's level of shamelessness was rarely seen in the world!
Shui QianRou did not argue and only sneered, "As the saying goes, justice is in the hearts of the people. Since Young Master says that you did not say anything, then let's just assume that Young Master did not say anything. However, Prince Ling, when are you going to entertain us? We have been away from home for too long, and even if the Ling House makes us feel at home, it is still difficult for us to leave our homeland. Only the Han Family is Water of Heavenly Wind. I hope that Young Master can give us a definite time limit. How about it? "
Ling Tian sneered, "I thought that your brother would joke around, but Miss is even better at joking. With Miss's status, you can naturally stay for as long as you want. However, if you don't want to stay, you will have to obtain the approval of the host. As the host, I hope that you and your servant can stay for three to seven years to fulfill the role of the host of the Ling family!"
A cold light flashed in Shui QianRou's eyes, "Prince Ling, since we've already spoken to this point, let's not beat around the bush. Don't forget that the person you're imprisoning is someone from the Water of Heavenly Wind. Just this point alone, you have to be clear of the consequences!"
Ling Tian rubbed his chin and crossed his legs, "Of course I'm clear about it. I've been clear about it from the start! I did indeed imprison you from the Water of Heavenly Wind. Similarly, the people I killed on the battlefield were also from the Water of Heavenly Wind. So what? Isn't it as satisfying as chopping watermelons? When I kill them, it's no different from killing anyone else! "
"You killed people from the Water of Heavenly Wind?" Shui QianRou became nervous, "Who did you kill? How many did you kill? "
"Don't worry, I didn't kill your precious brother! The others didn't kill that many either, only a dozen or so. "Ling Tian shook his head," They were too weak and I didn't feel any joy killing them. "
"You! Young master is indeed trustworthy and eloquent! I, Shui QianRou, have finally gotten to know you, Ling Tian! "Shui QianRou narrowed her eyes," Ling Tian, do you know that you've already violated the taboo of our Shui Family? Just wait for our Shui Family's bloodiest and most tragic revenge! When it comes to our enemies, we will never let them off easily! For the past thousand years, no one has been an exception! The Ling family will not be an exception! "Only a dozen or so? How many people did the Shui Family send? Shui QianRou trembled in anger.
"I'm so scared! I'm so scared! "Ling Tian chuckled and shrugged his shoulders," I'm so scared that I'm trembling. "
Shui QianRou sighed helplessly. If Ling Tian really cared about her threat, he wouldn't have locked her up like this. The words that he said just now were just his attitude and wouldn't be of much use!
During this period of time that she was locked up, Shui QianRou would often think about what kind of person Ling Tian was. In terms of low-profile, he was more low-profile than anyone else in the past. He had unparalleled talent, outstanding martial arts, and outstanding intellect, but he was willing to bear the title of the number one silkpants in Sky Bearing for a dozen or so years. In terms of cautiousness, it could be said that he was already excessively cautious. With his current strength, there was no need for him to be so cautious. However, in terms of arrogance, there was probably no one more arrogant than him! He had already offended the two strongest families in the world, the Shui Family and the Yu Family. Furthermore, he had offended both of them to the point of death. The elders of Tamago were killed by him without any hesitation. The experts of the Shui Family were also not a problem. Even the little princess of the Shui Family was captured by him. Although the process of her capture was rather complicated, it was still not easy.
This fellow was really someone who didn't care about his life!
