At this moment, Li Xue suddenly had the urge to burst into tears. She hurriedly leaned to the side and replied in a low voice, "Yes, I'm very happy. I'm very happy." As she spoke, there was a faint trace of excitement in her voice, and the rims of her eyes immediately turned red. Tears welled up in her cold eyes, as though she had thought of something from the distant past …
The moment Li Xue said that, the two of them reacted at the same time. Their eyes met, and Li Xue was already mentally prepared. However, Ling Tian was still in disbelief at his own performance! He actually froze in shock.
Ever since he had transmigrated to this world, he had always been wary of anyone. Even when he first met his parents, grandparents, Yu BingYan, and the others, he was no exception. He had never been able to easily trust anyone. If he did not have any ulterior motives, he would not have been able to get along well with someone in such a short period of time and become close friends with them.
This heart of his had been sealed in ice for a long time!
But for some reason, when he saw this blue-robed girl today, he did not feel the slightest bit of wariness in his heart. He did not even feel the slightest bit of unfamiliarity. It was as though he was facing an old friend of many years. Even his heart did not feel the slightest bit of burden.
He had actually just met her, and he had not even understood her background and family background. Under the circumstances where he knew nothing about her, he actually felt extremely happy and satisfied to have such a little sister! It was as if his long-cherished wish had suddenly come true and become a reality!! Could it be that this was the so-called fate?
What a strange day! Ling Tian was extremely puzzled by his own performance today. Even when he first met Yu BingYan, he still had some wariness in his heart and approached her with a bit of utilitarian heart. But now …
And this Li Xue, clearly did not feel any unfamiliarity towards him. She actually allowed a man to call her by her maiden name!
Two strangers, definitely their first time meeting!
And they actually felt so familiar with each other at first sight!
"What are you thinking about?" Li Xue frowned slightly. She could sense that the atmosphere was a little strange. Could it be that this fellow actually discovered something?
"I'm thinking … in this world … the relationship between people is really mysterious. Is it fate?" Ling Tian said in a daze.
"Really?" Li Xue chuckled in her heart, "Stop sighing. In another two hours, DongFang JingLei will start the fire. Now you have several things to do. "
"What is it? You want me to show myself? Stop DongFang JingLei from setting the fire? "Ling Tian's brows twitched as he asked solemnly.
"That's right, as long as you appear, the entire forest will descend into chaos. With you as the target, all the powers will not retreat easily. Furthermore, as long as these people enter the forest, even if DongFang JingLei has the guts as high as the heavens, he will not dare to set the forest on fire. That is because doing so would offend all the strongest powers in the world! This way, this forest can be preserved. "
A worried look appeared on Li Xue's face as she said, "Speaking of this forest, it stretches for over 300 li and there are thousands of people who depend on this forest for their livelihood! If this forest is really destroyed, thousands of people will lose their homes and their livelihood. In fact, all the people living in the forest will be buried in it! To think that DongFang JingLei would resort to such a crazy method just to deal with you! This is an unforgivable crime! "
Ling Tian's face darkened as he paced back and forth. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally shook his head and said, "I cannot show myself for this matter."
"Why? As long as you show yourself, this calamity will be averted because of you. How great is that? How great is that? How many people will be spared from suffering? Why can't you show yourself? Why can't you show yourself?! " Li Xue widened her eyes in shock and anger. "Could it be that you're worried about the opponent who is chasing after you?"
"If I say that I'm not worried, that would be a lie. However, even if I show myself, I might not be able to resolve this matter. On the contrary, if I don't show myself, I might be fine!" Ling Tian smiled and shook his head. "Do you think that my words are too mysterious? Have you ever thought about why the Martial Order Medallion owner would suddenly erect such a stone tablet in this place? What is his intention? "
"Even if he wants to kill you, are you going to sit by and do nothing as tens of thousands of people lose their homes? Can you really bear to do that? "Li Xue's cold eyes flashed with disappointment and disbelief. "Is life and death really that important to you? Are you that afraid of the person who is chasing after you? Even if he's here, even if he finds you, with the two of us working together, we might not lose to him. Why are you so afraid of the slightest thing? Why have you become like this? "
Ling Tian laughed involuntarily. "I don't want to deny that I'm not Justice's match. In fact, even if we work together, we might not be able to deal with him. However, I have a feeling that Justice's move might not be to kill me. If it was purely to find me, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble. There might be a deeper meaning behind it!"
"Secondly, DongFang JingLei only came up with this plan. However, let me boldly ask you this. Xue 'er, if I don't show myself, would DongFang JingLei really dare to burn down the mountain? Did he really dare to do such a thing that was against the law of the world? How much guts does DongFang JingLei have? Even if there is such a matter, it would definitely be kept a secret. However, if an outsider like you knows about it, how many people would not know about it? Thus, I suspect that DongFang JingLei is just trying to force me out. "
Li Xue pondered for a moment before replying with uncertainty, "I did hear a few of the Dongfang Family's generals talking about this matter, but I also saw countless barrels of kerosene gathered at the foot of the mountain. The preparations are more or less complete. This is no small matter, so even if we have our suspicions, we'd rather believe it than not. We can't always risk the safety of countless living beings. "
"I don't feel that this is a risk." Ling Tian admired this young lady's hot-bloodedness. Perhaps, this was something that his always calm heart lacked. He couldn't help but smile, "Let's not talk about how Beyond Heavens has always been responsible for the safety and peace of the human world, flaunting the fact that they are a hidden sect that still cares about the human world. How could they allow DongFang JingLei to do such a thing? If DongFang JingLei really did such a thing, I'm afraid that the Martial Order Medallion owner would be the first to let him off. How capable would DongFang JingLei be to be able to escape from the Martial Order Medallion owner? "
"Furthermore, DongFang JingLei and the others were brought here by the Martial Order Medallion owner. If such a thing really happened, Justice would be the first to bear the brunt of the blame. Thus, he would never allow such a thing to happen. DongFang JingLei would definitely not dare to do such a thing. He is an intelligent person and he knows that he doesn't have any extra brains. Furthermore, the DongFang Family would definitely not be able to withstand the wrath of Beyond Heavens. "
Li Xue furrowed her brows and fell into deep thought. However, the look in her eyes showed that she was still worried. Ling Tian smiled faintly. "However, what you said makes sense. There are no absolutes in this world. Regardless of whether DongFang JingLei has the guts or not, I still have to go and take a look. If there really is an accident, I will be able to react in time. However, even if I have to take action at the critical moment, I can't do it openly like you said. You should be able to understand this point, right?"
"No problem!"
Hearing Ling Tian's words, Li Xue's mood seemed to have improved. She glanced at Ling Tian and said indifferently, "We will begin to monitor the situation now. If DongFang JingLei really dares to commit arson, we will be able to stop him in time."
"…" Ling Tian was speechless. He had already explained it so clearly, and even made it clear that he would never show himself. However, this seemingly intelligent girl was still thinking about the original stupid idea even now.
At a place near the foot of the mountain, the terrain was relatively flat. There was only a long slope. Now, the large and small trees that originally grew on the slope had been completely cleared, leaving only white stubble on the tree stumps. They were like seats left in the same place. Countless pugilistic figures were scattered here and there, each doing their own thing. There was a tacit understanding that they would not disturb each other.
It seemed like DongFang JingLei had already spread the news that he was going to burn down the mountain and roast Ling Tian. There were still people rushing over from afar. After all, no one was willing to accompany Ling Tian, who they had never met before, and whose whereabouts were unknown, to become roasted pigs for no reason. Contrary to their slow speed when they were climbing up the mountain, every single one of them was as fast as lightning, displaying their movement techniques to the extreme! Only when they reached the area where the fire was lit did they heave a sigh of relief after realizing that the fire had not started.
On the east side, under a huge umbrella, sat DongFang JingLei with a golden crown on his head. He was still the same scholarly, carefree, and gentlemanly figure. His lips were constantly curled into a smile, appearing extremely amiable and harmless. However, anyone who truly understood him would know that he was an extremely dangerous smiling tiger. Furthermore, he was the type that would devour people without spitting out their bones. Around him, hundreds of guards stood in formation, ready for battle.
In the north, there were two black-robed men sitting there quietly, as though they did not care about their surroundings at all. Their auras were completely inconspicuous. Although they were clearly sitting there, it was as though they were invisible. It was as though these two black figures were completely illusory … They were the Yu brothers, Yu WuHun and Yu WuPo, the experts of the Yu Family who had appeared previously. Behind the two of them, there were tens of middle-aged men dressed in white, sitting there quietly with their eyes closed. These were the experts that followed the two brothers from Tamago. Any one of them was at least at the White Jade level.
In order to kill Ling Tian, the Tamago had really invested a lot of resources!
