The room fell into a long silence as though everyone had fallen asleep. The atmosphere was so stifling that it was hard to breathe. As for Ling Tian, the moment he said those words, his body floated up and flew out like a feather. Only after flying forty feet away did he gradually stand up straight. Then, like a gust of wind, he blended into the misty moonlight in the night sky …
Galloping against the wind, the sky was already faintly showing a bit of the white belly of a fish. The sky was about to brighten. A night of hard work had not been wasted! What he needed to know, he had found out. What he needed to understand, he had understood. What he needed to prepare, he still had time!
Ling Tian was rather satisfied with his gains tonight. However, there were also some areas that he felt regretful about.
Right now, Ling Tian was thinking about what kind of benefits Above Heavens had promised Yu LiuShui. To be able to make Third Young Noble Yu give up the Snow Jade Heaven Reversal Pellet in exchange for it?
Was there anything else that he could do in this matter?
Could it be that he wanted to help Yu LiuShui seize the throne? If that was the case, wouldn't he be helping his brothers kill each other? Above Heavens was naturally willing to do such a thing. However, would Yu ManLou's son really be such a selfish person? Could there be something else going on here?
However, this matter was truly laughable. Yu ManLou mobilized tens of thousands of people to search the city just for three groups of people. The first was naturally him, the second was Shui QianHuan, and the third was Above Heavens.
Right now, Shui QianHuan's whereabouts were unknown. It seemed like it would not be an easy task for Yu ManLou to find him. As for the other two groups of people, he was hiding in the courtyard of his second son, Yu LiuFeng, while Above Heavens was hiding in the territory of his third son, Yu LiuShui.
After going around in circles, the person that Yu ManLou was looking for was actually in his own house, right under his nose!
This matter was truly laughable to the point of being ironic. Regardless of how great Yu ManLou was, how would he suspect his own son?
As for the others, without Yu ManLou's orders, who would dare to offend these two young masters? Especially during the period when Eldest Young Master Yu Liuyun had just passed away.
Ling Tian almost wanted to let out a long sigh for Yu ManLou. A true man can't do anything about an unworthy wife and unworthy son. Ling Tian naturally didn't know whether Yu Manlou's wife was virtuous or not, but his son was unfilial.
With a heart full of joy, Ling Tian floated back to Second Young Noble Yu's courtyard. In the front courtyard, Second Young Noble Yu seemed to be sleeping soundly in the embrace of his beloved mistress. How would he have thought that the bunch of poor relatives that he doted on the most were actually the people that his father was willing to marry?
"You're back?" Li Xue silently appeared from the shadows. Her hair was still faintly visible with the night dew.
"You … haven't slept yet?" Ling Tian's heart tightened, but it also warmed up.
Li Xue rolled her eyes. "There's a severely injured man and a delicate young lady inside. How would I dare to sleep with you when you're not around? Don't tell me I really have to rely on those inexperienced brats with mediocre martial arts? "
Ling Tian rubbed his nose and laughed bitterly. Only Miss Li would dare to say that the five of them had mediocre martial arts. After all, the five of them were the strongest assassins in the First Pavilion! Before he could say anything, the door creaked open and a few black-robed youths walked out. They respectfully greeted Ling Tian, "Young noble is back." They were Ling Feng, Ling Yun, Ling Nineteen and the rest. All of them lowered their heads and didn't even look at Li Xue from the corner of their eyes.
"Eh, why aren't you guys asleep?" Ling Tian glared at them.
"Yes, young noble isn't around and brother Jian is injured. We couldn't be at ease." Ling Feng said respectfully, "Young noble has always taught us that we have to rely on ourselves. Don't tell me we really have to rely on a weak lady that we have never met before to protect us? Wouldn't that tarnish young noble's reputation? "
Ling Tian laughed bitterly. From the looks of it, Li Xue's words had been heard by these people. It was no wonder that Ling Feng's words were filled with anger and hatred. It must be that Li Xue's mistreatment of Ling Jian had caused these fellows to be extremely dissatisfied. However … even if you're dissatisfied, you've put this young noble in the middle. Weak lady? Just based on these three words, Miss Li will definitely not let this matter rest. Just you wait, this young noble can't afford to offend this young miss!
This lass is simply at odds with the First Pavilion! Natural nemesis?! Ling Tian immediately came to this conclusion.
Li Xue flew into a rage and was about to explode. Ling Tian waved his hand with a headache and said in a low voice, "What's going on? All of you look like you've eaten the wrong medicine. What kind of situation is this? What kind of situation is this? You guys are actually still bothered by a battle of Qi! You guys have really disappointed me! We're all on guard for each other's safety, but the moment we meet, we treat each other like enemies! If something like this happens again, I won't let you off! "
Ling Feng, Ling Yun, and the rest stood upright. Under Ling Tian's scolding, they didn't dare to move at all.
After scolding the few fellows, Ling Tian turned around and said to Li Xue without any mercy, "Fighting with a bunch of little brothers, you're really capable! I've told you more than once that they are all my brothers. Why don't you think about your own status? How dare you cause such a ruckus with my brothers? What kind of scandal is this? "
Hearing Ling Tian's merciless scolding, Li Xue actually reacted in the same way as Ling Feng and the rest. She straightened her back, lowered her head, and looked completely like a subordinate who was being scolded by her superior. When Ling Feng and the rest saw this, they instantly felt much better in their hearts. Although this crazy woman was domineering, didn't she still listen to the young noble's words? Why was she being so fierce?
However, Li Xue knew that at this moment, it wasn't appropriate for her to rebut Ling Tian. If she were to rebut Ling Tian at this moment, it would be akin to ruining her chances. No matter how much effort she put in for Ling Tian in the future, Ling Tian wouldn't be able to see her in the slightest. He was a man after all, so it was only right for her to leave him some face in front of his subordinates. Thus, Li Xue tried her best to act like an obedient child. Without a doubt, it seemed to be very successful.
If there was a flaw, it would be in a place where no one could see. Li Xue lowered her head and a bright pink color flashed across her face. She was shy, at ease, and satisfied at the same time. With her intelligence, she naturally understood the true meaning behind Ling Tian's words. "Why don't you think about your own status? How dare you cause such a ruckus with my brothers? What kind of scandal is this?" Just this sentence alone was filled with all sorts of mysteries. In fact, under the meticulous mind of a woman, she could even discern a few other hidden meanings. This caused Li Xue's heart to pound wildly as if there was a little deer in it.
Ever since they met that day, this was the first time Ling Tian had spoken so harshly to her! But the more he acted this way, the more it showed that Ling Tian had completely let go of her. It also meant that Ling Tian had already accepted her. He didn't treat her as a little sister and protect her blindly, nor did he treat her as a so-called close friend. Instead, he treated her as his own woman and reprimanded her.
Because it was a little too harsh to speak to a little sister in such a tone.
As for close friends, they would only be more tactful and not so direct.
Furthermore, there was also Ling Tian's words, 'Why don't you think about your own status'. In the eyes of Ling Feng and the others, Ling Tian was obviously trying to protect his little brothers. However, Li Xue felt that Ling Tian's words were completely different. What status? What other status could it be? Did he say that she would be the future Young Mistress? The mistress of the house? What a scandal! That's right. That's right, a mistress getting angry with her husband's subordinates. What a scandal, what a scandal!
So even though Li Xue was reprimanded harshly, she was actually so happy that she wanted to sing. She actually bowed shyly in front of Ling Tian and said softly, "I, that … concubine … won't dare to do it again in the future." Her tone and expression were extremely similar to that of a newly married daughter-in-law.
Ling Tian was taking a sip of the hot tea that Ling Yun had just brought out from the room. When he heard this sentence and saw Li Xue's expression, he instantly knew that this lass had misunderstood him completely because of his unintentional sentence! Looking at Li Xue's weird expression and actions, Ling Tian was extremely shocked. He suddenly spat out the mouthful of tea that he hadn't swallowed in time and washed the face of Ling Yun who was in front of him. With a head full of tea and a face full of resentment, Ling Yun thought to himself, What is this? Am I that scary?
His trembling finger pointed at Li Xue. Before Ling Tian could say anything, he started coughing. With this cough, two more streams of tea flowed out of his nostrils. It was clear that Young Master Ling choked badly just now. It was very surprising.
Speaking of Ling Tian's almost perfect image in this life, he had never seen such a scene in his life. Even Li Xue, Ling Jian, and the rest of the people who were most familiar with Ling Tian in this life had their eyes opened to a whole new world!
Ling Tian scurried into the room in a sorry state, and everyone else followed behind him. Li Xue stomped her feet in disdain for her actions just now. Her face was burning hot as if it was on fire. Just now, she had blurted out that she was his concubine … Hmph! Dream on! Ptui, what am I thinking! With a twist of her waist, she stomped her feet one step at a time and rushed back to her room. She sat on the edge of her bed and suddenly fell into a daze.
Ling Jian propped himself up and bowed to Ling Tian. Ling Tian nodded and gestured for him to lie down. Looking at the few of them, Ling Tian said in a low voice, "Did you meet anything unusual on the way here?"
Ling Feng took a step forward and said, "There was nothing unusual. However, before we came, we received a message from Sister Chen asking for Young Master's instructions. She said clearly that she wanted Young Master to make a decision and see if the plan was feasible. "
Ling Tian's expression changed as he asked, "What plan?"
Ling Feng carefully took out a wax ball and used his fingernail to cut it in half. A snow-white ball of paper fell out.
Ling Tian received it and slowly unfolded it. On it was Ling Chen's beautiful handwriting.
"Young Master:
I have followed Young Master's instructions to take charge of the courtyard. I have been worrying day and night and know the importance of this responsibility. I have racked my brains for fear that I will let Young Master down. Three months have passed. Young Master is alone outside, so please take care of your body. Your safety is the most important. Everything in the family is fine, so please do not worry. I only hope that Young Master is as healthy as before.
Today, chaos is about to descend. The heroes of the various countries are eyeing us covetously, and the various aristocratic families are waiting for us. Although my Ling family and courtyard have many elite soldiers, we cannot have all of them. Therefore, I believe that the matter of training the army is imminent. There is no time to delay. If Young Master is willing, then the courtyard will send an order for the First Pavilion to send reinforcements. The people outside will use their own strength to fight for supremacy. It is not for the sake of dominating the world, but for the sake of training the army for future needs.
If this plan succeeds, when Young Master rises to the top and calls out, the entire world will belong to Young Master. At that time, you will be an army of hundreds of battles, iron-blooded soldiers. Destroying cities, shaking mountains, and sweeping the world will not be a problem.
Can you give me a quick reply?
I, Ling Chen, hope day and night that Young Master will get rid of the heavens and remove the Martial Order Medallion. You will be able to shock the world with your might and return safely. I am looking forward to it!
Respectfully. "
Below was the date. It was a day ago. In this letter, apart from expressing her longing for Ling Tian and her new plan, there was not a single mention of the matter that Ling Tian had specially replied to her. Furthermore, she actually wanted him to turn around and get rid of the heavens. She really did not know that he would be so easy to get rid of. Would Young Master chase after him to kill him? This caused Ling Tian to feel a warm feeling in his heart. At the same time, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed like Ling Chen had already decided to carry out her plan. Otherwise, she would not have intentionally avoided this topic in her letter.
It seemed like that lass was determined to carry out her plan to the end. Ling Tian sighed and shook his head. He really did not know where Ling Chen's confidence came from. Beyond Heavens had stood tall for a thousand years and had never once interfered in the affairs of the world. They were a true transcendent existence. Their strength was also a mystery. Just from Ye QingChen and Justice, it was clear that removing the Martial Order Medallion was not a realistic plan.
However, other than targeting Beyond Heavens, Ling Chen's new plan coincided with Ling Tian's original plan. Using battle to nurture battle was something that Ling Tian had been planning for a long time. Now that the various powers were more or less done with their preparations, it was time to begin. However, for Ling Chen to take the initiative to realize this point, it was still out of Ling Tian's expectations. This lass's improvement was truly godly. Just her ability to see the bigger picture was commendable.
Waving the letter in his hand, Ling Tian fell into deep thought. Ling Chen's speed of improvement was truly out of his expectations. But now that Ling Jian was injured and Ling Chen was the only one left, it would be difficult for her to take action alone. If the various powers were to fall into chaos, the First Pavilion's strength would be too scattered. A portion of the strength of the Courtyard would also be sent out. The strength that Tamago had left behind in Sky Bearing would probably become a huge threat. At that time, with Ling Chen's strength and the Courtyard's remaining strength, it would be unknown if they could withstand Tamago's counterattack. Especially since the Courtyard was Ling Tian's foundation, it was something that could not be lost. It was truly a place where a single move would affect the entire Ling Tian.
