"What else can I do? I wanted you to pretend to be a maid, but you didn't want to. "The older brother shrugged helplessly. Seeing that his sister was about to flip out again, he hurriedly said, "Alright, alright, we've finally arrived in the city. Let's find an inn to stay in first. After working so hard these past few days, I finally feel like I'm back in human society. I must have a good sleep tonight! Poor me. My old bones are all sore from exhaustion. "
The young girl giggled and asked, "Then let's find an inn to stay in and let you have a good rest. Once a person gets old, their legs won't be as nimble. You don't need to explain, I understand! Let's go find an inn now! "
"There's no hurry, let's walk a little further. Tamago's mansion is not far ahead. We have to be closer to Tamago. No matter what, they're still relatives, right? It gives me a sense of security. "
"Is this sense of security something you only get after killing everyone?" The younger sister took out a water sack from her waist like a magic trick and gulped down two mouthfuls of water without the slightest bit of ladylike demeanor.
"Nonsense, this old monk has always been 'sweeping the floor for fear of harming the lives of ants, protecting the lantern for the sake of moths'. Saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda! Excellent, excellent. " The older brother's face was full of benevolence as he clasped his hands together and said sanctimoniously. Unfortunately, his broom-like eyebrows and triangular eyes were disgusting no matter how one looked at them!
"Pu!" The older brother's face was covered in water. He couldn't help but wipe it off with his sleeves.
"Cough, cough, cough …" The younger sister choked on the water and coughed repeatedly, as if she had asthma.
"Let's go to this one." The two raised their heads and looked over. In front of them, the words' Return As Home Inn 'came into view. The brother and sister looked at each other and smiled, then walked in together.
Just a street away from here was the number one aristocratic family in Heavenly Star, Tamago!
At this time, it was early evening. The lights of tens of thousands of houses flickered on and off, illuminating the sky above Bright Jade City.
It was late at night.
Ling Jian sat alone in his room, an extremely detailed map placed in front of him. Ling Jian's expressionless face revealed a faint fanatical light in his eyes. That was the determination of a believer who had sacrificed himself for a cause. His gaze swept over the map bit by bit. He looked very, very carefully.
The main room, the main hall, the garden, the backyard, the Martial Arts Hall, and then the Martial Arts Pavilion, the Moon Climbing Star Picking Tower, the Elder's Courtyard, the Unreturnable Pavilion, the Shadowless Pavilion, the Soaring Heaven Pavilion, the World Tower, and the Phantom Pavilion. As for the other buildings such as the White Jade Hall, the Purple Jade Hall and so on, they were clearly marked. Other than that, there were also the residences of the three Tamago brothers. All the buildings in Tamago were clearly visible on this small map.
A cold light flashed in Ling Jian's eyes as he thought to himself. The main hall and the main hall could be ignored. However, he had heard that Ling Jian had always handled official matters in his private office, the Moon Climbing Star Picking Tower. On the other hand, he would handle secret matters and important matters in the Martial Arts Pavilion. Ling Jian had long decided that he would definitely go to these two places. As for the Elder's Courtyard, the Unreturnable Pavilion, the Shadowless Pavilion, the Soaring Heaven Pavilion, the World Tower, and the Phantom Pavilion, no one knew what these places were for. Even in the inner circle of the Yu Family, there weren't many who knew about this. Only the three Yu brothers who were in the inner circle of the Yu Family would know about this. Even the more careless Yu ManTian wasn't very clear about this. The secrecy of this matter could be said to be extremely tight.
As the name suggested, the Elder's Pavilion was definitely where the experts of the previous generation of Tamago lived. It would be best not to touch such a place. However, what were the other pavilions for? Ling Jian was clear in his heart. While he did not know the purpose of these pavilions, every single one of them was definitely a mysterious power in Tamago. Since they were placed side by side, it meant that these few powers were roughly of the same level. As long as he could figure out any one of them, he would have a rough idea of the others.
However, the distance between the pavilions was rather large and the distance between them was a little too far. Ling Jian thought about the two hours that Ling Chen had given him and could not help but rub his nose as he laughed bitterly. Isn't she thinking too highly of me? Even if there isn't a single person stopping me, it would not be possible for me to explore all of these pavilions in just two hours! Tamago occupied more than 200 mu of land. Even if he were to take a horse carriage to circle the entire place, it would still take him an entire morning!
Let's start from the vicinity! Ling Jian made up his mind. Tamago, the place that had caused him to be in such a sorry state six years ago. Would it be the number one aristocratic family or the number one assassin who was more powerful this time?
Ling Jian's eyes burned like a raging fire!
Outside the window, on the quiet street, there was suddenly the sound of a gong. A bleak voice weakly shouted, "The wind is dry, be careful of the candles …" The sound was dragged out, followed by two more gong sounds. The voice gradually faded away.
It was already the second night watch!
Ling Jian let out a long sigh and stood up silently. He reached out and patted the sword at his waist. His face revealed a confident and cruel smile. He calmly put on the black cloth covering his face and gently pushed the door open.
Standing in front of the door, Ling Jian hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to go and see his brothers. After all, if he was not careful, he would be separated forever! Tamago, even if it was not a dragon's den or a tiger's den, it was much more dangerous than a real dragon's den!
Ling Jian sighed and did not go in the end. If he went, wouldn't that be too lacking in confidence? Brothers, I will come back alive. Young Master cannot be without Ling Jian by his side!
The sky was covered with dark clouds. There were no stars and no moon. It was the best time to move in the night! The wind blew softly, as gentle as the hand of a lover.
Ling Jian's black robe spread out. Without the slightest sound, he glided like a bat in the night sky. Like a ghost, he stood on the roof. His thin body and the ink-like night scene perfectly blended into one. In the darkness, only a pair of cold eyes were like the bright stars. They lightly swept around the small courtyard, as if he was reluctant to leave.
Ling Jian finally jumped up and soared into the sky. His thin body flashed in the air and disappeared without a trace.
After he left, the two doors opened at the same time. Six black-clothed youths walked out of the room in a single file. These six were cold-blooded killers who had killed countless people on a daily basis, but now, their eyes were glistening with tears. The expression on their faces was complicated to the extreme! Looking at the final resting place of Ling Jian, their eyes were filled with deep emotions and respect! It was as if Ling Jian's spear-like figure was still there!
Brother Jian!
You must come back!
Your brothers are waiting for you!
Yu ManLou's face was as calm as still water. His fingers tapped lightly on the table, letting out a slow but rhythmic sound. Behind him, there were two men in black standing quietly. Under the illumination of the light, the figures of these two men in black seemed to have blended into the blurred nothingness. They clearly existed in front of him, but it was as if these two people didn't exist at all. This kind of absolute visual impact and feeling was extremely strange!
In front of him, a burly man was kneeling on the ground pathetically. Cold sweat was dripping from his forehead, soaking the ground.
"The sixteen first grade assassins of the Blood Slaughter Pavilion were wiped out in a single battle? Not a single one of them survived? They were unable to cause any damage to Ling Tian?! "Yu ManLou's brows furrowed as he muttered to himself. The burly man kneeling in front of Yu ManLou did not know whether he should reply or not. Unable to make up his mind, he could only kowtow to Yu ManLou once more.
"There is another mysterious young lady by Ling Tian's side? Her martial arts are extremely high? She was able to kill six first grade assassins by herself? She is also completely unharmed?! Her age should be even younger than Ling Tian?! "Yu ManLou pondered," Her first move is to fill the sky with frost? Like the dead of winter? For such a strange yin cultivation method, which sect does it belong to? "As he said that, he furrowed his brows and pondered deeply.
"Reporting to Family Head, there doesn't seem to be such a pure yin cultivation method in the world." Behind Yu ManLou, a black-robed man said, "Looking at the martial arts of the various sects in the past thousand years, there isn't such a cultivation method. Even Beyond Heavens doesn't have such a cultivation method!"
"Are you certain?" Yu ManLou slowly stood up and turned around to ask with a cold glint in his eyes.
"Certain!"
"Accurate?!"
"Accurate!"
"You mean that they are lying? But how do you explain those corpses?! Was it done by such a useless servant? Or should I say, they actually dared to lie to us? "Yu ManLou's face darkened.
"That is obviously impossible and this subordinate does not doubt the words of such a servant. But in the past thousand years, there hasn't been such a cultivation method. Especially for a sixteen to seventeen year old girl who is similar in age to Ling Tian to possess such a powerful cultivation method, this is a miracle that is even more unimaginable than Ling Tian's superhuman strength!" The black-robed man said solemnly.
"It is indeed a miracle." Yu ManLou slowly paced around. While he appeared calm on the surface, his heart was in a mess. Why are there so many strange characters around Ling Tian? Even the cultivation method that Ling Tian cultivated was extremely strange and was completely different from the cultivation methods that he knew of.
Could it be that there really was a cultivation method that he didn't know of in this world? Or was this some kind of ancient manual, a lost secret of the ancestors from thousands of years ago? Apart from this reason, there didn't seem to be any other explanation for this matter.
"Since Ling Tian was able to kill those sixteen assassins without suffering any injuries, then how did you guys return? Could it be that you guys are stronger than those assassins to be able to escape from the hands of that killing god without suffering any injuries?! "Yu ManLou asked coldly.
The thing that he was most afraid of was for his family head to ask this question. To think that it still came.
That person's face was covered in cold sweat as he replied with a trembling voice, "I don't dare to hide it from Family Head. At that time, this subordinate's strength was too weak and was unable to interfere. That Ling Tian, he … after he killed those assassins, he suddenly let us go and … and asked us to pass a message to Family Head …"
"What message?"
