From Bright Jade City to Sky Bearing, Ling Jian had suffered countless hardships under Li Xue's hands. This demoness had too many methods to deal with people, and her methods were too sharp! In Ling Jian's heart, this was the first time he felt that there was someone whose methods were comparable to his young noble's. In fact, Li Xue's methods were even better than his young noble's. She was just too frightening! Even someone as' cool 'as Ling Jian was almost' crying 'from Li Xue's pranks!
Along the way, there was a time when Ling Jian refused to drink the medicine. This was because Li Xue had added an extra ingredient to the medicine in order to deal with Ling Jian: Coptis Chinensis. When Ling Jian drank the medicine, that feeling made him feel what it meant to be worse than death! That time, he would rather die than drink the medicine. However, Li Xue only used a single method to make Ling Jian drink the medicine obediently. Furthermore, after drinking the medicine with the added ingredient, he had to go against his conscience and praise it: Delicious!
Li Xue had brewed two bowls of medicine at the same time. One bowl had Coptis Chinensis, and the other bowl did not have any strange ingredients, only adding a few live earthworms and a few snakes that had just hatched from their shells. If there was anything else, it would be that she had dug out some residue from the mouth of a war horse and added it into the medicine … Then, she forced Ling Jian to make a choice between the two bowls of medicine. During this period of time, she had even pinched the nose of this First Pavilion Head …
As such, Ling Jian chose to submit.
It was not that Ling Jian did not think of resisting, but this grandaunt's strength seemed to be rather high. With such strength and methods, it was impossible for the injured Ling Jian to resist! Even if he was not injured, would he be able to resist? Ling Jian did not seem to have much confidence in himself!
Since he did not have the heart or strength, he could only choose to submit. How could he not lower his head when he was under someone else's roof? So what if he was the First Pavilion Head? Wasn't he still a human? When it was time to submit, he would still submit … a real man would not fight with a woman! Ling Jian secretly comforted himself.
Now, whenever he saw Li Xue's figure, Ling Jian would subconsciously tremble. It was as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight. Even when he saw Ling Tian, he had never been so afraid … Hearing her call him 'Little Jian Jian', he couldn't help but snort. He stared at her and said with killing intent in his eyes, "Don't provoke me anymore! Otherwise, when my injuries are healed, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop myself from killing you! "
"Kill me?" Li Xue seemed to have heard an extremely funny joke as she laughed hysterically, "Hehehe, I'm so scared! Don't kill me, okay? I'm just a weak woman! "
Ling Jian snorted angrily and turned his face away. He made up his mind that no matter who this' weak woman 'was to the young master, and no matter if she would become the young master's woman or not, he would wait until his injuries were healed, then he would pretend to be muddle-headed and viciously defeat her once to vent his anger! During this period of time, he, the number one assassin in the world, had been tormented by her to the point of tears …
What a pitiful Ling Jian! Right now, he still didn't know what level this demoness in front of him had reached … This was a perverse existence that could rival the Ling Tian that Ling Jian admired the most! However, the day when Ling Jian would really be beaten black and blue was not far away. Because Ling Jian himself was unwaveringly moving in that direction … working hard … and excited … what a pitiful child!
Li Xue chuckled and looked at the dumbstruck Ling Chi. She smiled sweetly and said softly, "Little Jian Jian, I'll let you know that a weak woman is not easy to bully." After saying that, she turned around and walked away, heading towards the secret room in the courtyard.
Ever since she came here, Li Xue had been living in seclusion, fully digesting all the strength that Ling Tian had built up. Almost every day, she would feel more and more shocked. After a few days, she felt that her nerves had become numb!
Never would she have thought that Ling Tian would be able to create such a huge empire in this world with his bare hands! The breadth of his knowledge, the variety of his skills, the depth of his plans, none of them did not leave Li Xue gasping in amazement!
Li Xue completely believed that if she were to use everything that she had come into contact with without holding anything back, the entire world would change in an instant! From the looks of it, with this strength, it would be as easy as flipping one's hand to deal with any small country in the Heavenly Star Continent!
But …
How did Ling Tian do it?
How did he do it in less than 20 years?
Li Xue knew that if she was in Ling Tian's shoes, while it wouldn't be easy for her to achieve such a feat, it wasn't impossible either. However, the most difficult part was that Ling Tian had the title of number one silkpants while secretly developing an empire's strength! This was somewhat inconceivable! And in such a short period of time, what kind of intelligence and wisdom did he need to do this? Li Xue found it hard to imagine. Furthermore, under such circumstances, with such effort, Ling Tian's martial arts had actually reached such a high level!
Putting all these together, Li Xue asked herself. Even if a genius like her could split into two, with twice the amount of effort, she would still not be able to do it. She couldn't help but sigh. We've both transmigrated, but why is there such a huge difference between us? Could it be that I'm really inferior to him? Is the difference between our previous and current lives getting bigger and bigger?
After understanding all these, Li Xue did not hesitate to use the same method as Ling Tian: secretly controlling everything. Of course, she definitely could not replace Ling Chen's current position. And even if she wanted to, no one, including Ling Tian, would agree. After all, Ling Chen was the woman who had been with Ling Tian the longest. Her position was deeply rooted, and no woman could shake it! This was something that Li Xue had noticed the moment she arrived at the Ling Family Courtyard!
Secondly, Li Xue completely understood Ling Tian's true meaning. That was, from now on, before the world was settled, she would be Ling Tian's trump card. Ling Tian's original trump card had already been exposed, so now, he needed someone to replace Ling Tian and stand in the shadows. And she was undoubtedly the best candidate!
So, Li Xue immediately decided on her position. That was, she would not compete with anyone. She would simply stand behind Ling Tian and help Ling Tian look after this family. She would maintain this last and strongest trump card. That was enough. At most, she would suggest and improve things that Ling Tian could not think of, or when Ling Tian was really too busy, she would lend a hand. However, there would always only be three people who would truly control the Ling House: Ling Tian, Ling Chen, and Ling Jian. But there was no one — Li Xue!
Thus, Li Xue kept a low profile after her arrival. Even the upper echelons of the Ling Family Courtyard did not know of her arrival. Even if they had seen her before, they had only seen her once and did not know where she came from or what she was here for. After which, she suddenly disappeared from the Ling Family Courtyard without causing any commotion …
It could be said that if Ling Tian knew about Li Xue's actions, he would definitely clap the table and praise her! Praise was exactly what he wanted.
Three days later.
Dawn.
Shui QianRou came to the Ling House's courtyard with a face full of worry. She requested to see Ling Chen.
"They will arrive in Sky Bearing at noon." Shui QianRou said with a heavy heart, "At that time, I will have to go and receive them."
Ling Chen raised her head with a smile that was not a smile, "Oh? It's just a few people. Why do you have to be so nervous, Second Sister? Relax a little. You have to know that in this world, there is nothing that cannot be overcome. If Second Sister does not have the right attitude, it will be even harder for you to face those uninvited guests. "
Shui QianRou nodded her head with gratitude.
Ling Chen's eyes narrowed and she suddenly turned around to ask, "Do you want me to … go with you? If you go by yourself, won't you …? "
Understanding Ling Chen's worries, Shui QianRou forced a smile, "That won't happen. After all, I am a lady. To them, I am not much of a threat. Thus, they will not do anything to me. Even if they have the intention to target my brother, they will not do anything to me."
A sharp light flashed past Ling Chen's eyes and she chuckled, "What Little Sister says makes sense. Perhaps I am thinking too much."
"You are too worried. Elder Sister is also worried about my safety. I am also worried about you. " Shui QianRou said with gratitude, "After they arrive, they will not do anything to me. But, my brother …"
Ling Chen smiled, "Don't worry. When the time comes, I will send Ling Chi to bring a few people over. Even if they are temporary allies, they will still have to give us some face in the Heavenly Star Continent. "
"Thank you Elder Sister for your kind intentions."
Seeing Shui QianRou leave in a hurry, Ling Chen's eyes became deep and serene. Are they finally here? We can't wait any longer.
Thinking about Shui QianRou's words, Ling Chen laughed coldly. So what if she was a lady? Did she really not have any power in the Shui Family? Did she really not have any hope of inheriting the position of Family Head? What if all the younger generation of the Shui Family died? Would that still happen?
Ever since Ling Tian left, Ling Chen had racked her brains for the Ling Family Courtyard as well as for the goal in her heart. Every step she took and every sentence she spoke would be carefully drafted in her heart and she would go through it a few times, afraid that she would miss out on something. However, under such circumstances, Ling Chen's improvement was undoubtedly huge. In just a short three months, Ling Chen had already become a qualified leader from a lady who had been by Ling Tian's side for a long period of time. Ling Chen's heart was filled with wisdom and shrewdness!
However, this kind of life was not something that Ling Chen liked. In fact, she even felt a little tired. What she wanted to do the most was to stay by the side of the person she loved the most. She would secretly look at him and share his happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy. She would give her everything to him.
Regardless of whether she was a peerless beauty or a powerful figure, it would not be as good as staying by her young master's side and being a little lass who did not need to care about anything. That was the most blissful and joyful life. Ling Chen looked into the distance with misty eyes. Young master, I am thinking about you. Chen 'er is thinking about you. Are you alright?
