However, the two of them had no choice but to accept the challenge! Even if the Ling family did not have Ling Tian, the strength of the Ling family was not something that could be underestimated! Just the strength of Ling Chen and Ling Chi in front of the two of them was definitely not inferior to them! Furthermore, there was also the huge Ling House Courtyard. There were definitely crouching tigers and hidden dragons within!
With such strength, if they were to side with the Yu Family under the pressure of the Yu Family, then the thousand-year war between the Water of Heavenly Wind and the Yu Family would no longer have any suspense. At this moment, the Shui Family who was already at a disadvantage would definitely be at the end of their rope. The difference in strength between the two families was too great! Furthermore, the two of them clearly had the opportunity to stop it, and even had a high chance of success. Yet, the two of them just watched as the opportunity slipped away … resulting in the war between the two families, causing the Shui Family to fall into a disadvantageous position. In the end … wouldn't the two of them become the sinners of the Shui Family?
But if they were to admit defeat and allow Ling Chi to do as she pleased, wouldn't the two of them be suckers? Would they allow Ling Chen to do whatever she wanted to them? Would they allow Ling Chi to take advantage of them?
In that moment, Shui QianRou and Shui QianHuan both felt a huge headache coming on!
In her entire life, Shui QianRou had always thought that she was extremely intelligent and had never suffered a loss before. The only time she had failed was when she was tied up in front of Ling Tian. At that time, she felt that she was not scheming enough! However, it was only Ling Tian alone. Furthermore, he was the only man that Shui QianRou had a good impression of. Losing to him was something that Shui QianRou could accept. Even if she did not admit it, she still acknowledged it in her heart.
But facing Ling Chen, Shui QianRou suddenly felt that she was not negotiating with Ling Chen at all. She did not have any choice at all. She was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered! Right now, the person in front of her was obviously that despicable Ling Tian! The Ling Tian that she was helpless against!
This kind of extremely depressing feeling! This kind of powerless depression! This feeling of having all his thoughts being seen through by the other party, with nowhere to hide, and this terrible feeling was actually so familiar!
Like master, like servant! Shui QianRou was speechless!
It was one thing to have a Ling Tian who was so powerful, but now there was another Ling Chen! It was also a flawless plan! They were similarly cunning and difficult to deal with!
"I wonder what Miss Ling plans to do? But I don't believe that with Miss's wisdom, you would be willing to be under someone else. Since everyone has the intention to cooperate, everything can be discussed. Why must you be so resolute? " Shui QianHuan let out a hollow laugh. The charming and fanciful thoughts in his heart had long been scared away by Ling Chen's words. He was secretly on guard in his heart. He no longer dared to look down on this delicate beauty in front of him. Subconsciously, he had already placed this delicate beauty on the same level as himself.
What I want to know the most is how much power does the Shui Clan have in the Stellarsky Continent? Where are they now? When will the reinforcements of the Shui Clan arrive in Sky Bearing? The both of you should know that without the reinforcements of the Shui Clan, even if we were to join hands, we would not be able to deal with Tamago's attack! " Ling Chen looked at Shui QianRou and chose to ignore Shui QianHuan, choosing to filter out his words.
Shui QianRou sneered, "Miss Chen must be joking. Originally, there is nothing that cannot be said, and everyone should be open and honest with each other. However, Miss Chen directly asked about the strength of my Shui Clan in Heavenly Star. Isn't this question a little too forceful? If I were to ask Miss Chen about the strength of the Ling family, would Miss Chen be willing to answer? "
Ling Chen's eyes flashed and she said solemnly, "Miss Shui is right. Being open and honest with each other is the basis of our cooperation. However, the strength of my Ling family is the basis of my survival. Regardless of whether it is the Shui Clan or Tamago, they are all existences that I have to be wary of! Even if I were to hide it, it would be nothing to your two families! However, the strength of the Shui Clan is the basis of our cooperation. With Miss Shui's intelligence, I'm sure you would understand the crux of this matter, right? If the Shui Clan is unable to give the Ling family sufficient confidence, then there is no need to talk about cooperation! "
Shui QianRou was once again shocked by Ling Chen's unyielding attitude. The reason why she argued so strongly was not only for the benefit of her family, but also because she was unhappy that Ling Chen was acting as the representative of Ling Tian. However, this question was something that Shui QianRou could not answer. After all, she had just met Shui QianHuan, and there were many things that she was not clear about. Hearing Ling Chen's words, she could not help but look at her brother, implying: You can decide whether to answer or not!
Shui QianHuan saw that the two girls were at loggerheads with each other, and neither agreed nor disagreed. His impression of his younger sister, who had never been inferior to anyone else, was at a disadvantage for the first time. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. Then, he rubbed his nose awkwardly and said, "We've already sent the news back. But, the family needs to arrange for manpower. We also need to come up with a strict plan. We can't do it in such a short time. According to my estimation, we should be able to arrive in about ten days or half a month. Miss Ling, please be at ease. The moment I receive news from the family, I will immediately send someone to inform Miss Ling. Our family is extremely sincere about today's matter. "
"Sincere? I didn't see it. Young Master Shui seemed to be honest, but in fact, it was no different from not saying anything at all. Ten days to half a month didn't seem long, but in such a serious situation, it was hard to say how many things could happen in this period of time! The Shui Clan might not care about the changes because there are not many of them here. However, our Ling family cannot ignore it. There could be huge changes at every turn! If both parties are based on such a foundation, our Ling family will not accept it! I believe that Young Master Shui will understand what I mean! "Ling Chen said calmly.
Shui QianHuan was speechless. Ling Chen's words hit the nail on the head. Right now, time was definitely a serious problem, but they did not have a solution. Shui QianRou's brows twitched. "Miss Ling, aren't you being too overbearing? What my big brother said is the truth and there is no other way. Furthermore, Miss Ling is already aware of our current strength. Even the secrets of our strength have been revealed. Isn't this sincerity enough?!"
"Not enough, of course not. Sincerity is the foundation of cooperation, but without the strength to cooperate, what cooperation is there to talk about!" Ling Chen said coldly.
"This is the first time in my life that I, Shui QianRou, have heard someone say that our Shui Clan's strength is insufficient. Miss Ling's words are too much!" Shui QianRou was not surprised!
"I am not doubting the strength of the thousand-year-old Shui Clan. What I am doubting is the strength that the two of you have displayed. With such strength, it is truly difficult to cooperate! Miss Shui, Young Master Shui, do you agree? "Ling Chen's voice remained calm from the start.
Shui QianRou's eyes flashed and she said coldly, "Then what do you want? I believe that you already have a plan, right? Just tell us your true intentions! "
Ling Chen looked at Shui QianRou and smiled. "Miss Shui, in the current situation, if we cooperate, both sides will benefit. If we don't cooperate, we will only benefit others. Since your clan is unable to provide the necessary strength to cooperate, shouldn't you contact your clan again? Since your clan is sincere in cooperating with our Ling family, should you give us some conditions as compensation?"
"I wonder what conditions Miss Ling has in mind?" Shui QianRou's brows furrowed. "Since everyone is prepared to cooperate, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. Although our clan's strength is insufficient, the Ling family's current situation is even more precarious. Of course, Miss Ling has also seen it for herself. If the Ling family were to side with the Tamago, our Shui Clan would definitely be at a disadvantage in the battle between the two families in the future! However, our Shui Clan's decision to cooperate with the Ling family is not purely for the sake of helping the Ling family resolve their crisis. If there are no benefits, we will not do it. The world is bustling with activity, and benefits come and go. Politeness demands reciprocity. Even if the Ling Family has conditions, I hope that they are not conditions that will make both sides uncomfortable. If the conditions are too excessive, whether we cooperate or not will not have much meaning. "
Shui QianHuan's brows were raised in exultation as he listened by the side. He almost wanted to cheer for his sister. Shui QianRou's words were like a needle hidden in silk floss. She was neither servile nor overbearing, and her counterattack could be said to be perfect!
These words were equivalent to laying out all the facts that could be used by Ling Chen to negotiate. Furthermore, she had blocked Ling Chen's path of retreat and also blocked Ling Chen's lion's lion's mouth from extorting money! Shui QianRou was indirectly telling Ling Chen that if she wanted compensation, there was no problem. As long as it was not too excessive, they would cooperate. However, if the compensation was too excessive, then the Shui Clan would rather die than live in dishonor!
Ling Chen was stunned for a moment before she looked at Ling Chen with a smile. "Miss Shui is indeed thinking for the sake of the Ling family. This kind of 'die in dishonor rather than live in dishonor' attitude is truly admirable for a little girl like Ling Chen who only cares about herself!"
Shui QianRou's face flushed red. Her words had stirred up some troubles in her heart. Thinking back to Ling Tian's merciless criticism that day, Ling Chen's words were clearly borrowing Ling Tian's words to attack her once again! She could not help but grit her teeth. "The Shui Clan and Yu Clan have always been at loggerheads with each other. In the future, whether the Shui Clan will die for the sake of the Yu Clan or the Yu Clan will die for the sake of the Yu Clan, no one knows! As for Miss Ling, aren't all your actions for the sake of the Ling family as well? Why do you have to make fun of me? "
Ling Chen let out a faint smile, her eyes filled with deep emotions as she said slowly, "No! Miss Shui is wrong. Ling Chen's actions are definitely not for the sake of the Ling family! It is only for him alone. Ling Chen will live and die for him. She can disregard everything for him and die a hundred times for him without any regrets! She will gladly endure all kinds of hardships! And this is also the greatest happiness as a woman! "
Ling Chen paused for a moment before continuing. "Furthermore, young noble is currently in a perilous situation and there might not be anyone in the world who can save him. He can only rely on himself! To Ling Chen, the safety of young noble's family is the most important. I have to ensure that young noble does not have any worries and focus on dealing with the Martial Order Medallion owner! As for the current situation, surrendering to Tamago will undoubtedly guarantee the Ling family's safety for the next ten years. Tamago will definitely not kill off a harmless power that sincerely surrenders. And without Ling Tian, the Ling family will definitely be beneficial to Tamago! However, in consideration of young noble's future, Tamago will definitely not comply. That is why we are meeting today! Does Miss Shui agree? "
Shui QianRou did not know how to reply.
Ling Chen looked at Shui QianRou and shook her head with a smile. "As for you, Miss Shui, you are completely different from Ling Chen. The difference is like heaven and earth. How can the two of you be mentioned in the same breath?" (To be continued, if you want to know the future, please go to www.qidian.com to read more chapters.
