"Let's talk about this when I reach Sky Bearing. If your lovers are too difficult to get along with, I will naturally make them think that I'm even harder to talk to. But if they are all reasonable people, do you think that I'm an unreasonable person? "Li Xue bit her lips as she spoke.
Ling Tian nodded his head, "I won't disappoint you." Ling Tian was extremely assured. With the tempers of Ling Chen and Yu BingYan, the possibility of them making things difficult for Li Xue was close to zero. As long as Li Xue didn't take the initiative to stir up trouble, it wouldn't be long before the two of them became as close as sisters. This was Ling Chen's forte.
As for why Ling Tian made such an arrangement, a part of it was because he wanted to lay down a good foundation for the future. No matter what, the backyard couldn't be set on fire.
"The sky is already bright, let's move out!" Ling Tian ended the conversation with a single sentence. Or rather, this small meeting.
Perhaps no one would have thought that in the next few years, Ling Tian's casual orders would turn the world into a pot of rotten porridge!
Everyone else went out to make preparations, leaving only Ling Tian and Ling Jian in the room. After treating Ling Jian's wounds, Ling Tian looked at Ling Jian deeply, "After suffering such heavy injuries, don't you feel anything?"
Ling Jian smiled and blinked his eyes, "To walk the line between life and death seven or eight times in a single night, young noble, this feeling is truly miraculous."
Ling Tian smiled in understanding, "Mmm, that's right. To be able to feel the miraculous feeling between life and death, it means that you aren't stupid. "Ling Jian smiled bitterly.
Ling Tian stopped joking and said solemnly, "Only when one is on the brink of life and death can one make a true breakthrough. Moreover, even if you cultivate the same cultivation method, the comprehension, epiphany, and comprehension between life and death are different. No one can guide you on this point. I can only tell you one thing. "
Ling Tian's eyes shone brightly as he said word by word, "You don't have to care about what others say. Follow your heart, walk, and comprehend. You are the most correct."
Ling Jian fell into deep thought and nodded his head slowly, "Thank you, young noble!"
Ling Tian smiled.
This life and death situation was a huge opportunity for Ling Jian! If he could comprehend something, Ling Jian would be able to make another breakthrough! Now that Ling Jian was on the brink of a breakthrough, Ling Tian gave him such a reassuring pill. With such a sentence, Ling Jian wouldn't recklessly fumble around.
Looking at Ling Tian's departing figure, Ling Jian's eyes were filled with respect and gratitude.
"Have they all left?" Xiao YanXue sat on the edge of the bed. She lowered her head and fiddled with her clothes as she asked in a low voice. Her voice was filled with disappointment.
No matter who she thought of Ling Tian as, she was still an outsider to Ling Tian and his subordinates. Almost no one cared about her existence, or even ignored her. But even so, their sudden departure made the originally lively space empty. A sense of desolation arose spontaneously. Especially the feeling of not being trusted. It made Xiao YanXue, this proud little princess, feel very uncomfortable.
Ling Tian walked over slowly and sat on the chair in front of her, replying in a low voice.
Xiao YanXue laughed self-deprecatingly, "Your subordinates, regardless of whether they are male or female, are all very good. Especially the one lying on the bed, he is even more brilliant. I'm afraid there are not many experts of this level in the world. If it was the Ling family of the past, even having one would be considered a luxury! "
Ling Tian was startled. He smiled and said, "You know quite a lot. They didn't seem to have shown anything in front of you. How did you know?"
Xiao YanXue's head was still lowered. She said in a low voice, "Different people have different temperaments. In this chaotic world, the higher one's martial arts is, the more confident he is. Moreover, whether it is his movements or his expression, it can all be seen. That is the natural aura of a superior. It is filled with the feeling of having the power to control the life and death of others. This is unmistakable. Even if he doesn't show it, that formless aura can be seen clearly. Especially on the injured Ling Jian. Coupled with the attitude of those younger experts towards him, his identity and strength are self-evident. "
Ling Tian laughed and nodded, "That's right. You must have seen many people with this kind of temperament, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be so experienced. "
"Are you trying to get information out of me?" Xiao YanXue raised her head with resentment. "When I returned home from Sky Bearing, the head of the family asked me who was by Ling Tian's side. What was their strength like? He even asked me what the people in the Ling family were like. Do you know what my answer was? "
Ling Tian suddenly felt that his lips were dry. He licked his lips and turned around. With a hoarse voice, he asked, "What was your answer?"
Xiao YanXue smiled proudly and said, "I didn't want to betray the people I cared about. Thus, my answer was that I didn't know. No matter who asked me, I would always say the same thing. This was also the reason why many people in the family were unhappy with me. Thus, no one was able to speak up for me when it came to my marriage. "
Xiao YanXue looked at Ling Tian. "If you were to ask me how much manpower, wealth, and experts my Xiao family has, I would give you the same answer. This is the same for both you and my family!" She then smiled apologetically, "I don't know."
Ling Tian smiled thoughtfully and said, "That's what I should do. Thank you for putting me and your family on the same level. "
Xiao YanXue smiled sadly and said, "Thank you for your understanding. Actually, among your subordinates, the one I care about the most isn't the injured person. The one I care about the most, but can't see clearly, is the beauty! "
Ling Tian's eyes flashed. "Oh?!"
Xiao YanXue said, "Not only is she a peerless beauty, she also has a noble temperament. Compared to the injured person, she is a level higher. No, the two of them can't even be mentioned in the same breath. From what I've seen, only you, Ling Tian, can be compared to Li Xue! Even if she is inferior to you, she shouldn't be too far off. "
When Ling Tian heard Xiao YanXue's evaluation of Li Xue, he was speechless. He wasn't surprised that her evaluation of Li Xue was too high. In fact, Xiao YanXue's evaluation of Li Xue was very reasonable. If he were to rank all his enemies, Li Xue would definitely be in the top three, only below Ling Tian and Ling Tian. This was also because Li Xue didn't have any power!
What Ling Tian was truly astonished about was the sharpness of Xiao YanXue's eyesight. In such a short period of time, she was actually able to analyze the strength of everyone she met. She was truly outstanding! Just her eyesight alone was enough to be praised!
Xiao YanXue smiled sadly and said, "You don't have to be so surprised. I have seen all sorts of people since I was young and I still have this bit of eyesight. But it is precisely because of this that in such a dangerous place like Bright Jade City, when you are in need of manpower, you still want to send your subordinates away. There must definitely be something urgent. Even if you don't say it, I can already guess it. I believe that with the departure of these people, the entire continent will be in turmoil, right?"
"Miss Xiao's words are too serious," Ling Tian said casually, "Plans can never be as fast as changes. We have to plan ahead."
Following that, the two of them seemed to have run out of topics to talk about. They didn't speak for a long while and the room was filled with an awkward silence.
After a long while, Ling Tian sighed softly and finally spoke, "In such a chaotic world, how can a determined person think of self-preservation? Courageously moving forward is the true path to safety. If I was born in a peaceful time, no matter how ambitious I was, I would only be a silkpants for the rest of my life. Everyone has their own standpoints. For their family, for themselves, no matter what, they have to fight. Regardless of whether they succeed or fail, they will not have lived in vain. And everything they have done this time, is only for the sake of our survival. You should also know that even if I am as talented as you say, the foundation of our Ling family is only so-so. To have an expert like Ling Jian in our family is already a luxury. We are definitely unable to contend against a thousand-year-old family like yours. Thus, I can only make preparations early. If after all my efforts, I am still unfortunately defeated and killed, then I will have no regrets. "
Ling Tian's words seemed to be unintentional, but also seemed to be purely expressing his inner feelings. His tone was extremely slow, and his tone was unusually sorrowful. It seemed to show the fear and unwillingness in Ling Tian's heart. But what exactly he meant, not many people could guess.
If Li Xue was here and heard Ling Tian's lamentation, she would definitely point at Ling Tian's nose and ask him, "Don't you feel a little despicable when you say those words?" However, Li Xue was not Yue`er.
When she heard those words, her delicate body trembled. She raised her head worriedly and bit her lips. She said softly, "There is always a way out. Everything has yet to begin, and the situation is still uncertain. Why do you have to be so pessimistic? Nothing is absolute in this world!"
Ling Tian laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Everything has yet to begin? Nothing is absolute in this world?! No! Today's situation is only infinitely close to an outcome, and the cause has been planted decades ago. Miss Xiao, let's not talk about the other families. Just your Xiao family alone has been preparing for at least 20 years, right? Haha … "Ling Tian smiled faintly and waved his hand." Everyone knows it, so no one has to deny it. The truth is as such. Our Ling family is only struggling to survive. "
Xiao Yue`er lowered her gaze and said, "Why do you have to be like this? If we are not strong enough, with the relationship between our families, how can the Ling family not have a place? "
"Even if I die, I, Ling Tian, will not submit to anyone!" Ling Tian stood up with a cold smile. "Besides, your Xiao family was the one who broke off the engagement first, completely severing the relationship between our families. The moment you broke off the engagement, you had already pushed my Ling family into a bottomless abyss. Following that, there was the auction in Sky Bearing, which caused my Ling family to be completely doomed. If Miss Xiao says that you don't know the deeper meaning behind this, I will be very disappointed. "
"Regarding the auction in Sky Bearing, it was indeed the Han Family who made use of your Ling Family. This is something that I am fully aware of. If I were to deny it now, not only would I be insulting your intelligence, I would also not be able to say it." Xiao Yue`er didn't understand, and said with some anger, "But in the matter of breaking off the engagement, if not for your profligate behavior, why would my grandfather break off the engagement? As for the bottomless abyss that you said, where did that come from? "
"Haha," Ling Tian laughed mockingly. "Profligate behavior? May I ask Miss Xiao, I was only five years old at that time, how much of a profligate behavior can I have? You were also present at that time, right? Let me ask you, what can a five-year-old child know? Bullying men and tyrannizing women? Or treating people's lives like grass? You can't do anything! At the very most, you are just a little mischievous. If you want to break off the engagement because of a mischievous child, then there are many other reasons to break off the engagement in this world. "Ling Tian said seriously," This isn't a reason, the real reason is something else. " Ling Tian looked at her with ridicule. "Miss Xiao, politics, benefits, and borrowing power are the real motives. You are still too young, and to put it bluntly, you are still too inexperienced!"
Xiao Yue`er's heart was in a mess, and she said anxiously, "Don't tell me … no! I don't believe it! Back then, my grandfather decided to break off the engagement for the sake of my happiness! "
Ling Tian laughed out loud, and a light flashed in his eyes. He said cruelly, "You saw misfortune in a five-year-old child? You even ended your decades of brotherhood because of this? You ignored your savior, your brother, and sister-in-law, just for a mischievous five-year-old child? Miss Xiao, you are not young anymore, so please think about it again, do you believe it yourself? Besides, if your family and your grandfather were so concerned about your happiness, then why did you run out here? Why did you come here?? "
"Boom!" Ling Tian's words were like a sharp sword that pierced into Xiao Yue`er's mind.
"If you were so concerned about your happiness, then why did you run out here?"
"If you were so concerned about your happiness, then why did you run out here?!"
Could it be that from the beginning, my marriage, my happiness, my marriage, were all just a bargaining chip for my family? Could it be that I was just a chess piece for my family? Could it be that all the love and care were all fake??? All for the sake of using me to exchange for the greatest benefits???
Ling Tian's cruel words completely shattered the last trace of hope in Xiao Yue`er's heart. Suddenly, Xiao Yue`er's faith in life collapsed!
Xiao Yue`er's eyes stared blankly, and her expression was filled with despair. Suddenly, she held her head and screamed, and fainted.
The difference from heaven to hell!
Ling Tian finally couldn't help but raise his hand and give himself a slap! His methods were simply too despicable, too despicable, too shameless! He actually chose to use such a cruel method to attack a young lady who had a crush on him. He was simply worse than a beast!
After a while, Xiao Yue`er slowly woke up and bawled loudly.
Ling Tian sighed inwardly, and finally consoled her, "Maybe I thought wrongly. Whether the truth is like this or not, who knows? These are just my guesses, without any evidence. Why do you have to be like this? Just take it that I'm spouting nonsense, or even that I'm trying to sow discord! Don't cry! "
Xiao Yue`er shook her head violently, and with tears streaming down her face, she said, "No! Everything you've said is the truth. Every word entered my ears, and every word was engraved in my heart. All these things, I could feel it all along, I really could feel it. Sob sob … For so many years, the family only cared about my achievements, and only cared about how much wealth I had created for the family. Other than my mother, almost no one had ever asked me what I was thinking in my heart, and what exactly I cared about. I … sob sob … I'm just a tool … a tool to earn money for the family … "Xiao Yue`er's heart was suddenly broken, and her tears were like raindrops on a pear blossom, hovering between life and death.
Ling Tian sighed, and opened his arms to embrace her. Stretching out his hand, he patted her back lightly, and felt some heartache in his heart. At the same time, he secretly asked himself, in order to achieve his own goal, was it wrong to cruelly tear open the scar that Xiao Yue`er had always used her imagination to cover up? Wasn't that too inhumane?
Xiao Yue`er hugged Ling Tian's body tightly, like a drowning person grabbing onto the last life-saving straw. Her body trembled violently as she cried, and said intermittently, "I also knew … perhaps … perhaps one day … the family would ask me to sacrifice myself for the family … I've thought about it many times, but I never thought that … when that day really came, everyone would be so … so straightforward … so indifferent … I … I … I'm so bitter! Ling Tian, I'm really bitter! "
Ling Tian sighed again. Being born in the world's wealthiest family, from a young age, she was arrogant and bossy, and lived a life of luxury. Even a simple piece of jewelry, a commoner's daughter might not be able to afford it even if she worked hard for her entire life. In the eyes of outsiders, such a life was simply perfect. However, who would have thought that being born in such a family, what kind of responsibility was needed to bear?
Just like a commoner's daughter who had to work hard for her entire life to support her family, a rich family's daughter had to sacrifice her body and her love to obtain the greatest benefits for her family!
As the saying goes, there are pros and cons. This was an unbreakable truth since ancient times. With every gain comes a loss. There was never a free lunch in the world! No matter what you wanted, there would always be a price!
After enduring poverty, there would be happiness. After tasting wealth, there would be bitterness. After seeing the colorful sunset, what would follow would be endless darkness!
No one was an exception. Be it saints, sages, heroes, heroes, or commoners.
Xiao Yue`er was tired from crying, but she still refused to get up from Ling Tian's embrace. Her two eyes flickered, sometimes confused, sometimes painful, sometimes joyful. Finally, it turned into a resolute expression. Suddenly, she raised her head and said, "Ling Tian, they have all gone out to do something for you, and it's something very important. Are you going to let me be so idle? "
Seeing Ling Tian open his mouth to speak but stop, Xiao Yue`er stretched out a finger and gently covered Ling Tian's lips. She said seriously, "I came to find you to seek refuge, but I can't let you support me for free. You've helped me so much. I have to give something in return to accept your protection with a clear conscience. I don't have any great abilities, but I coincidentally found out that you're lacking manpower in that area. I just want to keep myself busy and feel more at ease. Do you have to make me say it myself? "
Ling Tian was silent. Suddenly, he felt his heart was in a mess. For a moment, he couldn't think clearly.
Today, all his words had only one purpose, and that was to gradually change Xiao Yue`er's point of view. He wanted her to work for Ling Tian, and hoped that one day, she would be able to take charge of the Ling House's accounts.
It's easy to get a thousand soldiers, but hard to find a good general! Once the situation of the continent became tense, or even the slightest movement of the wind, the prices of the Heavenly Star Continent's rations, salt, war horses, weapons, steel, and everything else would inevitably rise at a terrifying speed. The longer the war went on, the more desperate the war was, and the higher the price of these things would be! Ling Tian knew very well that he had spent almost all of his income on hoarding these things. He had even used more than half of his family's power. It had already reached a terrifying number. These few years, he had increased the speed and intensity of his hoarding, and this number was still increasing at a terrifying rate every moment …
It would take a lot of brain power to figure out how to properly grasp this link. How difficult was it to find a top-notch professional? Moreover, this person needed to have an exceptionally sharp sense of touch, and a sharp and unique vision. When Ling Tian was unable to split himself into two, he needed to make the most correct decision. When the time came, no matter how the price went up or down, it would all come from this person. No matter what the result was, it would cause a huge stir!
Ling Tian's mother, Chu Ting 'er, was naturally an excellent candidate. However, she was also responsible for the huge industrial chain of the Ling family. She couldn't take care of the Ling House's side. If the accounts of the two families were combined, even if Chu Ting' er was very capable, she wouldn't be able to take care of everything. Ling Tian also wouldn't let his mother be so tired.
However, there was really no one else he could use. Whether it was Li Xue, Ling Chen, or Yu BingYan, they didn't have this ability. Furthermore, each of them had their own matters to attend to. After thinking for a while, Ling Tian set his sights on Xiao YanXue. She was the woman who was known as the North and South Gods of Fortune together with his mother. However, Xiao YanXue was the granddaughter of Xiao FengHan …
Therefore …
After trying so hard, Ling Tian was at a loss. Could it be that he really had to do this? If he succeeded, even if Xiao YanXue worked for him, how could she face her family? Face her own heart? Could it be that he had to use this method to achieve his goal? Therefore, now that Xiao YanXue had taken the initiative to bring it up, Ling Tian was silent. For the first time, he felt ashamed of his own decision. He felt that it was despicable. Ling Tian shook his head in pain and said, "This matter, let's talk about it later."
"You don't believe me?" Xiao YanXue's expression looked very hurt, even a little hysterical. There was a trace of lifelessness in her eyes as she looked at Ling Tian with empty eyes. "The family doesn't want me, they don't care about me. Don't tell me that even you don't believe me? Do you think that I will be a spy for you? "
Xiao YanXue's voice was mournful and her eyes were empty and hopeless. She looked at Ling Tian, but her eyes didn't have the slightest bit of focus. She actually wanted to die!
