Ling Tian was shocked. He quickly walked to the door and looked around. He used his martial power to check the surroundings. When he felt that there was no problem, he patted his chest and walked back, saying, "Grandma, please don't be anxious. My master also said that we must not act rashly!"
Old Lady Ling gasped for breath for a while. When she finally caught her breath, she suddenly bent down and looked into Ling Tian's eyes with a burning gaze. She said anxiously, "What else did your master say? Tian 'er, quickly tell Grandma everything. This matter concerns the survival of our Ling family. You must not hide anything. "
Ling Tian said, "Yes!" He continued, "Master said that Ling Kong has been in the Ling family for many years. He has already made a name for himself. What's more, his minions are all hiding in the dark. If we capture Ling Kong, I'm afraid that the others will never be found again. This will leave behind countless hidden dangers for our Ling family. Therefore, we must be careful. Either we don't act, or we must be sure that we can uproot Ling Kong's faction. Otherwise, there will be endless trouble. "
Old Lady Ling's expression was extremely serious. She stood up and walked two steps. She frowned and said, "Your master is right. We must not act rashly. We must consider this matter carefully. All these years, Ling Kong has been in charge of everything inside and outside the residence … Alas! It's a pity that your grandfather and father are both hot-tempered. They can't hide things in their hearts … Hahaha, I finally understand why your master wants you to keep this a secret. If your grandfather and father find out about this matter, I'm afraid the whole world will know about it. Then, there will be no way to deal with it! What a scheming person! "The 'scheming person' she was praising was naturally the 'master' that Ling Tian had mentioned.
She thought about many things carefully. Connecting the dots one by one, Old Lady Ling could not help but feel that Ling Tian's master was extremely calculative and scheming. He was truly a first-rate person in the world! She could not help but admire him. She couldn't help but ask, "Tian 'er, can you invite your master here? Grandma can have a good talk with him."
Ling Tian was shocked and hurriedly said, "Shifu once said that he was a man away from worldly affairs and didn't like to interact with others. Grandson also begged him many times, but he always refused. I only promised to help in secret. "He secretly wiped off his cold sweat. If his grandmother insisted on meeting that master, what should he do?
Old Lady Ling smiled in relief and said, "Experts like him have strange temperaments. It's fine if he doesn't want to see him. If you force him, I'm afraid that your Master will be disgusted. Things were not going well. However, this is also a good thing. With your master hiding in the dark, it is already a great thing for the Ling family! "
Ling Tian repeatedly replied, "Yes!" and no longer dared to speak carelessly.
Old Lady Ling frowned and asked with a puzzled expression, "So, your actions today to urge the Xiao family to break off the engagement was also your master's idea?"
Ling Tian grunted in acknowledgment.
Old Lady Ling said, "This engagement is extremely beneficial to the Ling family. Why did your master want you to destroy it? Did he ever tell you the reason? "
Ling Tian braced himself and said, "Shifu also said it before." Cold sweat trickled down his back. It seemed that his grandmother wouldn't give up until she squeezed him dry today.
Old Lady Ling raised her eyebrows. "Oh?"
Ling Tian said, "Shifu said that the Xiao family nowadays is too ambitious. They might even have the ambition to conquer the world. Our Ling family's internal troubles have not been resolved yet, and the imperial family is quite suspicious of our Xiao family. Once chaos breaks out, I'm afraid that our Xiao family will be the first to suffer. In addition, if our Ling family wants to get rid of our internal troubles, we will definitely suffer great losses. All kinds of matters within the family will inevitably fall into chaos. This kind of injury is not something that can be healed in a year or so. Therefore, at this moment, it is definitely not appropriate to get involved in the Xiao family's affairs. Right now, the Ling family is better off keeping a low profile. "
Old Lady Ling sighed and said, "The Xiao family has been preparing for war for decades. Their ambitions have long been obvious. If our Ling family didn't have such major internal troubles, it wouldn't be a problem to get involved. Although it is not appropriate now, it will still be a loss to break off this engagement." After she finished speaking, she sighed again.
Ling Tian sat there obediently and thought to himself, The main reason is that your Grandson will never bow down to anyone. However, I can't say this to you.
Old Lady Ling sighed softly and said, "Once the world is in chaos, even if the Ling family doesn't want to get involved, they can't do anything. In this chaotic world, a big family like the Ling family can't just stay out of trouble! In the end, they have to make a choice. How can it be avoided by breaking off an engagement? "
Ling Tian thought to himself, If it was just from this point of view, it was indeed a bit rash. However, your grandson has other plans, Grandma.
Old Lady Ling raised her head and said solemnly, "In the future, if there is any news about that bastard Ling Kong, remember to inform Grandma immediately!" Her voice was filled with extreme resentment.
Ling Tian agreed happily, thinking that today's matter had finally come to an end. It could be said that he had gained a lot. However, he didn't know how many brain cells he had wasted.
Old Lady Ling looked at her grandson and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed Ling Tian's ear. She gritted her teeth and said, "You little thing, you actually hid such a big matter from Grandma for more than two years. How should I punish you?"
Ling Tian cried out in pain, "Grandma, let go. Tian 'er won't dare to do it in the future."
Old Lady Ling didn't let go. Instead, she used her free hand to grab Ling Tian's other ear and snorted, "This old lady just gave away her family heirloom, and you, little brat, caused this old lady to break off the engagement. You, are you trying to anger this old lady to death? That was my first meeting gift to my granddaughter-in-law! Let me tell you, little thing, when you grow up, if that girl can still catch your eye, you must do whatever it takes to bring her back, along with the bracelet! I made a bet in front of everyone in the front hall just now! If you, little thing, make this old lady lose, hmph, hmph, hmph! " After talking about business, Old Lady Ling thought of this matter again. How could she not give Ling Tian a good beating?
Ling Tian was sweating profusely. Grandma was indeed the most valiant and ruthless person in the Ling family! Unscrupulous? At all costs? At all costs? Ling Tian's thoughts couldn't help but become more and more crooked. He really wanted to ask, "What if I rape her and bring her back?" However, he knew that if he really asked this question, then what awaited him would be a real * * * *. Thus, he could only swallow it back down.
Right now, his ear was still spinning in circles in his grandmother's hand. Ling Tian hurriedly patted his chest and said, "Grandma, don't worry. Grandson will definitely not let you lose the bet."
Only then did Old Lady Ling's anger turn into joy. Letting go of his ear, she laughed benevolently, "Tian 'er is indeed a good child, a good child."
Ling Tian was speechless. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "Grandma, Master once said something." Without any other choice, he could only use that groundless master as a shield.
Old Lady Ling's spirit was aroused, "What's the matter?"
Ling Tian said bashfully, "Master said, if the Xiao family really wants to break off the engagement, we can't let him have his way so easily. No matter what, we have to make Xiao FengHan pay a price."
Old Lady Ling spat out the mouthful of tea in her mouth with a "pu" sound. Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, she said, "The two of you, master and disciple, have already schemed against the Xiao family, and now you want to scheme against their family property?"
Ling Tian opened his big innocent eyes and said, "Master said, it seems that the Xiao family has an excellent weapon workshop near the capital …"
