"I'm here to see what kind of poem our talented lady is composing." Ling Chen chuckled and teased, "Who would have thought that the moment I reached the door, I would hear our talented lady sighing in sorrow. You really gave me a shock. Quick, tell sister, what kind of great work is going to be published soon?"
Ling Chen knew that Shui QianRou wasn't doing it for the sake of composing a poem, but she purposely teased Shui QianRou to soothe her worries. This was something that Shui QianRou understood and was grateful for!
"You are the one who is sorrowful!" Shui QianRou rolled her eyes and sighed, "I won't hide it from sister. They are coming in three days."
"I guessed it." Ling Chen immediately retracted her smile and stopped teasing Shui QianRou, "Are you worried about your brother's safety?"
"It isn't a matter of safety. It is just that brother has caused such a huge loss this time and the family has already removed him from the position of the first successor. I wonder what kind of punishment awaits him. Especially the three people who are coming, they are brother's enemies in the past. It is unavoidable for them to humiliate him!" Shui QianRou said worriedly.
"Oh." Ling Chen's eyes flashed and she consoled, "No matter what, your brother is still the son of the family head. Who would dare to do anything to him? This small humiliation might be a form of encouragement. Sister, you shouldn't be too worried. Only by taking care of yourself can you give your brother the greatest support. "
Shui QianRou's gaze turned cold and she said bitterly, "It isn't just a small humiliation. In the eyes of the three people, brother is not someone they should respect. Instead, he is a thorn in their side. Now that brother is in trouble, how would they let go of such a heaven-sent opportunity? Big Brother is so proud and arrogant, how could he endure such humiliation! " As she said that, she furrowed her brows and said suspiciously, "Furthermore, brother's incident this time is extremely strange. If Yu ManLou really has the ability to uproot the hidden strength of our Shui Family, he would have taken action long ago. Why would he wait until now? I have a feeling that there is something else going on. It is just that I haven't thought it through and I don't have any evidence. "
Ling Chen said with a gentle smile, "Even if there is something else, you don't have to be so worried right? Besides, even if your three cousins come and scold us, this is still the territory of our Ling family. They would still have to give sister some face. At that time, it shouldn't be too difficult for them to protect brother here. " He easily diverted Shui QianRou's greatest suspicions away. Furthermore, it was done so naturally without leaving any traces behind. Even Ling Tian would have to admit that he was inferior to her!
Ever since Shui QianRou received the letter from her family, she had been thinking about this problem. Originally, she and Ling Chen were sisters and she had a certain amount of confidence. However, Shui QianHuan had been pestering Ling Chen all this while and had already incurred the displeasure of Ling Chen. At this moment, Ling Chen did not need to step on him anymore. As long as she looked on coldly from the side and refused to help, Shui QianHuan's matter would be over. Seeing that Ling Chen was finally willing to help her brother, Shui QianRou was naturally elated. She jumped up and grabbed onto Ling Chen's hands and said gratefully, "Then I will have to thank sister. Haiz, as long as I am able to protect brother for the time being, I will be able to set my heart at ease when we return to Heavenly Wind. Previously, this little sister was still in a difficult position. Previously, brother had overestimated himself and kept pestering sister. I really did not know how to ask for sister's help. Who would have thought that … Haha, sister, don't worry. We will repay sister's kindness one day. "
Ling Chen smiled faintly and said, "You and I are sisters and the most important thing is to have a heart-to-heart. There is no need to talk about repaying and hurting our relationship! However, there is one thing that I need to say first. If sister is unable to do it, this matter will never be mentioned again. "
Shui QianRou said, "Sister, feel free to ask. As long as it is within my ability, I will definitely not refuse."
Ling Chen's eyes turned cold and she said in a low voice, "Sister, you've mentioned it earlier. Ling Chen's body has long belonged to young master. As for your brother … Haha, young master will not like such a thing and I will also be very unhappy. If the same thing happens again, I'm afraid that your brother, Shui QianHuan, might as well have landed in the hands of your three cousins. We are all sisters and I will say this first. If there is anything else, sister will have to apologize to sister … "
Shui QianRou's face changed and before she could say anything, Ling Chen continued, "Sister is also a woman and I care about young master's opinion of me the most. I hope that sister will remember this point. "
Shui QianRou sighed. How could Shui QianRou not know that her brother, Shui QianHuan, had fallen in love with Ling Chen at first sight? But now that Ling Chen had said this, Shui QianRou knew that her brother did not have the slightest bit of hope left. She could not help but feel a little bitter in her heart. His life is at the bottom and his future is bleak. There is no hope for love. I don't know if brother will be able to accept such a heavy blow.
She originally wanted to wait for Shui QianHuan to return and plead with Ling Chen. Even if it was just a hypocritical consolation, it would be enough to make Shui QianHuan more cheerful. But now, she naturally could not bring herself to make such a request. If by any chance her brother foolishly offended this great helper and even forced her to the opposite side, her brother and even herself would face a calamity!
Outside the door, a commotion could be heard. Following that, someone could be heard running over. Following that, Shui QianRou's maid, Die 'er, said, "Young miss, there is great news. Young master … has returned." Although the content of her words sounded like good news, her voice was anxious and trembling slightly, as though she had seen something terrifying.
Hearing that her brother had returned, Shui QianRou's heart was filled with joy. She hurriedly opened the door and went out. She could not help but jump in fright and almost cry out. In the courtyard outside the door, two people were covered in blood and were on the verge of death. Even standing seemed to be difficult for them. They had already lost eighty percent of their lives. One of them was his brother, Shui QianHuan.
"How did brother suffer such heavy injuries?" Shui QianRou hurriedly ordered for someone to bring her brother to her room. She arranged for someone to boil water and prepare medicine.
"In the Northern Wei, we were discovered. Naturally, we were besieged by Tamago. After that, we were chased for thousands of miles …" The only person who managed to escape with Shui QianHuan was Shui Seven. As he spoke, he sucked in a breath of cold air. Although he was lucky enough to escape, he had suffered heavy injuries. His internal and external injuries were equally serious.
Ling Chen stood coldly in the room, looking at the pitiful state of the two people. Her brows furrowed slightly, and without saying a word, she turned and walked out.
When she reached the door, she suddenly heard Shui QianHuan struggling and shouting, "Miss … Miss Ling … you're here. Why are you in such a hurry to leave … are you alright?"
Ling Chen turned around slightly. Shui QianHuan had already forced himself to sit up on the bed. His eyes were shining as he looked at Ling Chen, as though he was drunk. The wounds on his body were torn open by his exertion, and fresh blood flowed out.
Ling Chen said indifferently, "Thank you for your concern, Young Master Shui. I'm very well. Young Master, please recuperate in peace." After saying that, she turned and left, not looking back. She did not even give Shui QianHuan a chance to say another word.
Shui QianHuan sighed sadly and fell back onto the bed. In that moment, he felt as though his heart was being torn apart, and all his hopes were dashed.
Ling Chen's single sentence of 'Young Master Shui' had sent Shui QianHuan from the heavens of his fantasy to hell. A single sentence had caused him to think of his own situation. In the past, when he was in high spirits, others did not even spare him a glance. Now, what qualifications did he have to ask for the love of such a fairy-like lady?
Shui QianRou looked at her brother with pity, and suddenly felt powerless. At this moment, she suddenly felt that coming to the Heavenly Star Continent with her brother was a huge mistake!
Shui QianHuan might have walked into a dead end in love, and there was no hope for him to walk out of it in this lifetime. But what about her? Wasn't she the same? That person … that person … since when did he place her in his eyes? The two of them could be considered to be in the same boat, right?
Shui QianRou laughed self-deprecatingly. She suddenly thought of the time when she had taken out her precious jade as collateral, but Ling Tian had kept it in his embrace. She could not help but blush as she thought to herself: You've already taken my precious jade as a token of love, so how can I marry someone else? But you're so unromantic. The person I love the most is you, but where do you place me in your heart? I get along well with Ling Chen and little sister BingYan … Pui, what am I thinking about?!
If she wanted to be together with that person, the biggest problem was far from these. Because the biggest problem was that she would have to abandon her own family, right? Shui QianRou's heart was filled with bitterness. Perhaps she was not completely without hope, but this choice was so heavy. For the sake of the person she loved the most, she had to abandon the family that she thought would always be her number one priority?! This kind of abandonment would break her heart even more …
"Little princess, the hot water is ready. Should we change the dressing for the young master now?" Die 'er's voice sounded by her side, instantly waking Shui QianRou up from her confusion. She hurriedly responded and walked towards Shui QianHuan.
On this very night, the remaining experts of the NanGong Family disguised themselves as merchants and silently entered the Sky Bearing Region, nearing the boundary of the Ling Family Courtyard.
Within the Ling House's courtyard, Ling Jian was dressed in black, standing indifferently at the entrance, looking at Ling Chi who was practicing his swordsmanship, his face expressionless. Although he had just recovered from his injuries, there was still a trace of paleness on his face due to excessive blood loss. However, the aura around his body was completely concealed, and even the killing intent on his body was concealed. If not for the fact that Ling Chi could clearly see that it was Ling Jian standing there, he would have thought that it was someone else. Even those who were familiar with Ling Jian would think that his strength had regressed due to his injuries. However, they did not know that because of the battle with the Yu Family, Ling Jian had been on the brink of death many times, and his strength had improved greatly, gradually reaching the upper stage of concealing his sharpness.
"Ah? Isn't this Little Jian Jian? "A clear voice sounded, mocking him. Ling Jian's face twitched. It's this witch again! (To be continued, if you want to know the future, please go to www.qidian.com, support the author, support the original reading!)
