Not long later, the group arrived at the Ling House. After everything was arranged, the Ling family and the two elders of Tamago sat in the main hall of the Ling House. The maids served tea and everyone seemed to be in a daze. For a moment, no one spoke in the main hall.
"I believe that Old Family Head Ling must be curious as to why I, Tamago, would be in such a hurry to arrange Miss BingYan's marriage." Yu ZhanShui chuckled and broke the heavy atmosphere. He stroked his beard and said, "Since we are already in-laws, we are one family. Let's just say it face to face. My Tamago is going to have a life and death battle with our enemy, the Water of Heavenly Wind. At that time, it is still unknown who will emerge victorious. The Shui Family has been recruiting talents in recent years and their strength has increased greatly. The situation is not optimistic. "
Yu ZhanFeng sighed and said solemnly, "Thus, my Family Head's intention is to arrange the marriages of the younger generation of the family before the battle. This can also be considered as resolving our worries. Haha, as for the dowry, it is only a matter of time. Thus, the dowry is sent over in advance. Although it is just a small amount, it is not enough to enter the eyes of the Ling family. It is only a show of respect from my Family Head to the Ling family. "
This excuse was used by the elders of Tamago to dispel the worries of the Ling family. There was truth in the lies and falsehood in the truth. As the saying goes, when it comes to telling a brilliant lie, 90% of it is true and 10% of it is false. While this excuse might not be 90% true, it was at least 50-60% true. When the Ling family heard this, even if they did not fully believe it, they would at least be able to dispel some of their worries.
However, Old Lady Ling and Madam Chu Ting'er were both frowning and deep in thought. As for Lin Zhan and Ling Xiao, they were already grinning from ear to ear.
"May I know where my Third Master and Little Princess are staying at? This old man and the rest of us will report to Third Master first. The person in charge of this wedding is still Third Master Man Tian." Yu ZhanShui said in a dignified manner.
"Third Master and the little princess are temporarily staying in the backyard. Men, bring the two elders to see Third Master Yu." Old Lady Ling instructed.
"Thank you, Old Madam!" The two Tamago Elders cupped their fists and left.
In the hall, Old Lady Ling let out a long sigh. Her aged eyes looked out of the hall as she said slowly, "I haven't seen Tian 'er for the past two days. Where has he gone? He actually disappeared at this critical juncture! "
Chu Ting 'er replied, "I heard from Ling Chen that he followed Beyond Heavens' Old Man Ye and went out for a swim. With two peerless experts by his side and Tian 'er's martial arts being extraordinary, there shouldn't be any problems. He will be back in a few days. Although Tian 'er is young and mature, he is still a fifteen-year-old child. Now that everything has been settled, it is only right for him to go out for a walk. Tian' er has been thinking too much these past few years and I feel that it is not a bad thing for Tian 'er to be more playful. "
Old Lady Ling shook her head and said with a gloomy expression, "That might not be the case! That might not be the case! "It was unknown if she was referring to Ling Tian going out for a swim or that he might not be playful.
Chu Ting 'er's heart skipped a beat and the image of Ling Chen's red and swollen eyes appeared in her mind. All of a sudden, she felt extremely vexed.
"First Elder, Third Elder, you're here." Yu BingYan greeted indifferently. Her face was calm and there wasn't a trace of joy in it.
At the end of the day, the two elders were here to deliver her dowry and Yu BingYan should be happy and embarrassed at the same time. Even if she wasn't embarrassed, she should at least be polite. However, when Yu BingYan thought about how Ling Tian's life was in danger, she didn't even have the mood to be embarrassed.
"Little Princess, are you used to living here? Where is Third Master ManTian? " Yu ZhanFeng scanned his surroundings and dismissed the maids. After confirming that there was no one else within a few feet of the room, he asked with a deep voice. There wasn't the slightest bit of concern in his voice and instead, there was a hint of coldness.
"Third Uncle was injured when he was sparring with someone and is currently recuperating in his room." Yu BingYan sat on the chair and didn't call for anyone to serve tea. The First and Third Elder had always been ambitious people in Tamago. They were vicious and didn't care about anything. In the family, apart from the family head, Yu ManLou, they didn't place anyone else in their eyes. Even Yu BingYan's father, Yu ManTang, didn't give them any face. Thus, Yu BingYan didn't have any good impression of the two of them and it could even be said that she hated them.
"Third Master is injured?" A trace of mockery could be seen in the eyes of the Third Elder, "Was he injured in the hands of Justice from Beyond Heavens? He really overestimates himself and doesn't think before doing things. It's time for him to be taught a lesson! "
Seeing the mockery in his eyes, Yu BingYan couldn't help but feel angry in her heart, "That's right, Third Uncle is indeed incompetent and suffered such a loss. If Third Elder was to fight with Justice, the outcome would definitely be different with Third Elder's prowess. However, Third Elder's ability to predict the future is truly top-notch. "
Halfway through her words, Yu BingYan suddenly recalled that Yu ManTian was injured in the hands of Justice two days ago. At that time, the two elders should have been on the way. How did they know? Unless they had already … Yu BingYan's heart sank and her face turned ugly.
Yu ZhanFeng snorted and his face turned ugly. While he was extremely conceited, he wasn't arrogant to the point of being arrogant. He still had some self-awareness. In the current world, there probably wasn't a single person who dared to say that he could win against Justice, much less him. In fact, not to mention Justice, even if he were to fight against Yu ManTian, he might not even have a chance of winning.
Yu ZhanShui said unhappily, "Why bother with such a small matter? Little princess, as a descendant of Tamago, the family has an important mission for you. You have to do your best to complete it. " Yu ZhanShui's words brought the topic back and pushed Yu BingYan's last question to the side.
Yu BingYan's heart jolted and she asked, "What important mission?" This should be the true meaning behind the dowry and she couldn't help but feel nervous.
Yu ZhanShui chuckled and said coldly, "Ling Tian is being pursued by the Martial Order Medallion owner, Justice, and there is no chance of him surviving. If it's early, half a day, or if it's late, there will be news of his death sooner or later. Right now, you are the only woman that Ling Tian has a status. Thus, once Ling Tian dies, you will be the only survivor of the Ling family! You have to make good use of your status and capture all the power of the Ling family in your hands so that they will submit to our Tamago. If this matter is successful, you will be given the greatest merit! "
"Greatest merit?" Yu BingYan laughed miserably and her delicate hands were clenched into fists. Her knuckles were white and her face was flushed red.
'No chance of him surviving', 'news of his death', 'Ling Tian's death', 'survivor' … these few words pierced into Yu BingYan's heart, causing her to feel as though the sky was collapsing and her vision was turning black. The extreme shame made Yu BingYan want to pull out her sword and commit suicide!
The words' Beyond Heavens' and 'Martial Order Medallion' had always been the biggest taboos in Tamago. No one in Tamago would casually talk about these two things. This was because these two things were a thousand-year-old family and even Jade of Heavenly Star could not afford to offend them! If you offended these two things, not only would Tamago not stand up for you, they would even draw a clear line between you and your family. In these hundreds of years, Tamago could have already taken over the Northern Wei. It was because of the existence of the Martial Order Medallion that the Tamago did not dare to act recklessly! Thus, Yu BingYan knew from a young age that even though Tamago was a thousand-year-old family, the number one family in the world, they would still fear one power — Beyond Heavens!
And those who offended Beyond Heavens would only have one outcome — stepping onto the path of no return!
When Ling Tian met with such a situation, it was understandable that her family did not want to help him. But her family actually wanted to use this opportunity to seize the Ling family's foundation! Adding insult to injury and taking advantage of a person's perilous state were not enough to describe her family's despicable actions. They were truly despicable and shameless to the extreme!
What was even more infuriating was that she was the only girl in Tamago's younger generation. But in this scheme, she was the first person to be sacrificed! A lifetime of happiness, chastity, reputation … they were all used by her family!
Was there only a single merit?
"First Elder, BingYan has a question. I wonder if I should ask?" Yu BingYan tried her best to control the boiling emotions in her heart. But her voice still trembled slightly and her entire body was trembling. Her face had already turned green!
"Feel free to ask." Yu ZhanShui calmly found a chair and sat down. His face was calm and composed, as though it was only natural for him to ask.
"BingYan knew from a young age that there are three ways to follow a woman: follow her father at home, follow her husband when she is married, and follow her son when her husband dies." Yu BingYan took in a deep breath. "Now that the marriage between the two families has been settled, BingYan can be said to be a member of the Ling family. For the family to make such a decision, what position does BingYan place me in? What does my father think of this matter? "
"Second Master naturally agrees," Yu ZhanKong chuckled, "This matter concerns the future of our Tamago, so why would Second Master have any objections? As for the marriage with the Ling family, it is only a method. How can we treat it as real? Even if we have to sacrifice a little for the family, why can't we? "
"Only a method? Can't treat it as real? " Yu BingYan's lips trembled. "Everyone in the world knows that I, Yu BingYan, am going to marry Ling Tian. With the power of our two families, everyone knows about this matter! Yet, you can't treat it as real? How can you say that? "
"Audacious!" Yu ZhanShui hollered and his face seemed to be covered in a layer of frost. He lowered his voice and said word by word, "Little princess, as long as you are the little princess of the Tamago, you will always be the little princess of the Tamago. At the end of the day, the little princess of the Tamago is still a member of our Tamago! Sacrificing for the family is your honor and honor! How can we allow you to be so audacious?! "
"But I am no longer the little princess of the Tamago!" Yu BingYan raised her head proudly. "My only identity now is the daughter-in-law of the Ling family! Ling Tian's woman! Ling Tian is the person I love the most. No one and no power can change me! "As she said those words, a look of joy and satisfaction appeared on Yu BingYan's face!
