"Then what should I do? Don't tell me that I have to resign myself to death like this? I'm not willing! " DongFang JingLei said anxiously. Suddenly, he looked at Ling Tian with a fervent gaze, "Brother Ling, even though they are strong, they are definitely not stronger than you. As long as you are willing to help me, I might not be completely without hope! As long as you help me today and help me tide over this crisis, everything is negotiable! "
Ling Tian stood up and paced around with a frown on his face. DongFang JingLei had indeed lost his cool and was unable to say anything! If DongFang JingLei were to become the Family Head of the DongFang Family, what would happen? To Ling Tian, would such an outcome be good or bad? Was there anything worth thinking about in all of this?
After taking a few steps, he suddenly saw Xiao YanXue looking at him with a frown on her face.
Ling Tian quickly turned around and sat opposite DongFang JingLei, "We have already agreed to work together, and I am not one to go back on my words. Regardless of whether you are in trouble or not, Ling Tian's words will always be effective! Since we have reached this stage, I will promise you that I will help you become the Family Head of the DongFang Family! "
DongFang JingLei was overjoyed as he thanked Ling Tian profusely. The current him was already at the end of his rope, and Ling Tian was basically his last straw of hope. If Ling Tian were to reject his offer, he would have no choice but to live in seclusion. Furthermore, that was under the condition that he was not discovered!
"Then, what do you need me to do? The strength that I can use right now is extremely limited! " After a moment of agitation, DongFang JingLei regained some of his wits and quickly calmed down. According to his understanding of Ling Tian, this man was definitely not someone who liked to help others. As long as he accepted his help, he would definitely see a side that was beneficial to him. But because of this, DongFang JingLei was more at ease. In DongFang JingLei's heart, no matter how good a partner was, the moment they lost their value, there would be no point in working together. He even rejoiced that he was still of value to Ling Tian, which led to this cooperation. No matter what, it was better than being a fugitive for the rest of his life.
"What do I need you to do?" Ling Tian smiled meaningfully, "Future Master of the Dongfang Family, with your current strength, what do you think you can do? For the time being, I don't need you to do anything until you're stable. But when I need you to do something, I don't want you to hesitate. Do you understand? It's the slightest hesitation! "
DongFang JingLei fell silent. He could clearly hear Ling Tian's words. This man clearly had great ambitions for the DongFang Family and Eastern Zhao! DongFang JingLei was considering whether his actions were worth it.
Ling Tian sat there calmly. He wasn't anxious at all, because the one who was anxious right now was DongFang JingLei. Therefore, Ling Tian gave him enough time to consider.
After a long while, DongFang JingLei said with difficulty, "DongFang … Family …"
"The DongFang Family will continue to exist for a long time!" Ling Tian interrupted his words. "Brother DongFang, you should know that even without this chess piece of yours, it wouldn't be difficult for me to achieve my goal. At the very most, it would take me a little more time. And time is something that I still have a lot of money to squander, right?"
"You're right! I promise you! " DongFang JingLei gritted his teeth. The expression on his face was as though he was a gambler who knew that he would be walking into a trap the moment he took the first step. At this moment, there was a hint of malevolence in his expression.
Ling Tian remained silent for a moment before bursting out in laughter, "Brother DongFang, we are only having a conversation and not fighting for our lives. With your current expression, it seems as though I'm the one bullying you. I'm helping you!"
"Young Master must be joking." DongFang JingLei laughed bitterly. Isn't this considered bullying me? You've already bullied me to the end! Since I've taken this step today, I, DongFang JingLei, have no way of turning back. I can only follow you down this path! Even though he knew this, DongFang JingLei still changed the way he addressed Ling Tian. He no longer dared to treat Ling Tian as an equal. Sighing in his heart, from the moment he changed the way he addressed Ling Tian, he, DongFang JingLei, had already become someone else's subordinate. He no longer had the right to speak as an equal. Indeed, one had to pay a heavy price to obtain authority.
Hearing DongFang JingLei's way of addressing him, Ling Tian's eyes flashed with a trace of a smile. He knew that DongFang JingLei was extremely unwilling. Even though he was already at the end of the road, he was still unwilling. However, Ling Tian was confident that he would slowly make DongFang JingLei willing. He would also let DongFang JingLei know that without his help, DongFang JingLei was nothing!
To completely subdue DongFang JingLei, now was clearly not the right time. At the very least, it wasn't the best time.
After pondering for a moment, Ling Tian said slowly, "In a moment, I will instruct Shen RuHu to cooperate with you. Naturally, before that, you will need to return to the capital secretly. If there are any changes in the DongFang Family's headquarters, you can immediately step forward!" Looking at DongFang JingLei, his calm gaze suddenly turned into two sharp swords, emitting a threatening glow.
"Changes?" DongFang JingLei asked in bewilderment. Suddenly, he exclaimed in shock, "Young Master, you can't be thinking of …??"
Ling Tian nodded his head deeply, "Why? Do you have any doubts? Since you've already decided to plant radishes in this plot of land, then you will have to uproot the taro heads that were originally planted here. Otherwise, where would you find the space to plant vegetables? "
"But he is still my big brother …" DongFang JingLei said with a panicked expression.
Ling Tian looked at DongFang JingLei silently. Suddenly, he let out a strange laugh and stared coldly at DongFang JingLei, causing DongFang JingLei to feel uneasy.
After a long while, Ling Tian said coldly, "DongFang JingLei, save this act of yours for DongFang JingTian's funeral. Using it on me, don't you think that it's a display of affection for a blind person? You're really not a good actor! "
DongFang JingLei's face turned red.
Ling Tian snorted, "Your big brother? Since when did you treat him as your big brother? I'm afraid that in your heart, you're hoping that he dies quickly! It's just that you don't have a choice! Right now, you're acting like a brother in front of me. Isn't it just to show that you're a loyal person? You want to have a hidden bargaining chip in the future. Do you think that there's any meaning in such a method? "
Ling Tian flicked his sleeves, "Let me give you a piece of advice. Don't play such tricks in the future. At the very least, don't play them in front of me! Since you're going to be a whore, then do it openly. Don't act like you're a pure person. Don't erect your so-called chastity archway. Right, there's still a place where you can put this act to good use. It's at your big brother's funeral! "
Ling Tian's words were extremely sharp. DongFang JingLei's face was filled with anger. However, he suppressed it and lowered his head, "Young noble is right."
Ling Tian remained silent for a while before saying, "I'll go now. After I'm done, I'll return to Sky Bearing and won't return. In the future, I'll leave the matters of Eastern Zhao to you. If it isn't necessary, I won't look for you. You're still you, the future head of the DongFang Family. "
He stood up and let out a long sigh. Without turning his head, he said, "DongFang JingLei, you are very intelligent and scheming. You are also shrewd and talented. In Eastern Zhao, I don't have anyone else who can do the same. Thus, I can only let you benefit from it. Thus, your luck is also extremely good! "
"However, if you really want to protect the DongFang Family, then let me give you a piece of advice. Don't make me wary! You should know that my heart of wariness is often accompanied by the desire to kill! " Ling Tian's words were filled with killing intent, "There's also something you have to take note of. If I want to kill you, it's as easy as flipping my hand!"
DongFang JingLei's entire body was drenched in cold sweat as he acknowledged Ling Tian's words. He then thought about what Ling Tian said and asked, "Will young noble return to Sky Bearing?" Although he shouldn't have asked this question, he still asked it! There were still two months left until the bet between Ling Tian and Justice. This bet was extremely important to DongFang JingLei!
In the past, he had hoped for Ling Tian to die. But now, he hoped for Ling Tian to live. At the very least, before he could unify the DongFang Family, Ling Tian definitely couldn't die! As for Justice, he was still a huge variable in this situation.
A smile appeared on Ling Tian's face. He had purposely brought up this topic to wait for DongFang JingLei to ask this question. Now, DongFang JingLei didn't disappoint him.
Ling Tian replied with an 'oh' and said calmly, "Yes, return to Sky Bearing."
DongFang JingLei's voice was filled with disbelief, "Then young noble's bet …"
"It's already invalid!" Ling Tian said calmly, "Justice has already given up on the bet! He gave it up on his own accord! "
Ah? DongFang JingLei's face turned pale with fright! Justice had already taken the initiative to give up on the bet. What did that mean? Could it be that Justice no longer had the strength to kill Ling Tian? Or could it be that Ling Tian's martial arts had already reached the level of Justice? Thus, Justice had no choice but to give up on the bet?
If that was the case, wouldn't Ling Tian be unrivalled in the world? No one would be able to kill him?!
DongFang JingLei's heart was filled with shock as he looked at Ling Tian with his mouth agape. However, he was unable to say a single word.
Ling Tian knew what DongFang JingLei was thinking about. However, he didn't explain anything because this was the effect he wanted. Thus, he purposely said those ambiguous words. Such a threat was enough to make DongFang JingLei not dare to make any moves!
He couldn't help but snicker in his heart. In the end, Justice's reputation was truly resounding! Could this be considered as a fox borrowing the might of a tiger?
Ling Tian nodded his head indifferently and held onto Xiao YanXue's hand as they walked out.
"Young noble, please take care. JingLei will send young noble off." Behind them, DongFang JingLei's voice was completely different from before. It was filled with fear, respect, and a sense of reverence.
Ling Tian wrapped his arm around Xiao YanXue's waist and with a whoosh, the both of them disappeared from DongFang JingLei's sight!
