Ling Tian chuckled softly. Seeing the worried look on Xiao YanXue's face, he couldn't help but have an idea. Reaching out, he pulled Xiao YanXue over from her horse and planted a kiss on her face. At the same time, he clamped his legs together and the warhorse galloped forward as he roared, "I, Hu Hansan, am back again …"
Under Xiao YanXue's cries of surprise, the two warhorses galloped off into the distance.
Li Xue was truly enraged and the consequences would be extremely, extremely, extremely, extremely severe! If Ling Tian was by her side, he would definitely know that someone was in for a bad time. This was because this great aunt was truly a vicious and evil Rakshasa. Anyone who dared to provoke her would definitely not have a good ending. Ling Jian was already cool enough, yet he was almost made to cry. As for Ling Chen, her status was high enough, yet she was still able to train herself! Even if Ling Tian was around, anyone who dared to provoke her would definitely be trampled on!
To think that there would actually be people who dared to provoke such a vicious character …
During this period of time, Li Xue and Ling Chen were extremely annoyed by the actions of the Shui Family. The two ladies finally understood what it meant to be unable to accomplish anything but able to spoil everything. If not for the fact that this matter could affect Ling Tian's next step in conquering the Heavenly Wind Continent, the two ladies would have already had the thought of turning this group of 'trash' into 'dregs'! On this point, the two women's opinions were surprisingly in agreement!
As for Yu BingYan, she had also reaped some benefits. Under Li Xue's patient guidance, she was able to truly integrate martial arts into painting, and from painting into martial arts. She was at the crucial moment of enlightenment and had been cultivating wholeheartedly for the past few days. It was normal for her to not be seen for a few days. This kind of 'not paying attention to the outside world and wholeheartedly cultivating martial arts' made Ling Chen and Li Xue envious.
After Shui QianRou and Ling Chen came up with a plan at the Ling House, they rushed back to the Shui Family's residence excitedly and gathered the six elders and three cousins to discuss the plan of ambushing Tamago's group. However, out of Shui QianRou's expectations, the six elders and three cousins did not seem to be very enthusiastic about this plan. This caused Shui QianRou to feel as though a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head.
"Since it's a collaboration between the two families, why isn't the Ling family sending anyone? If they only let our Shui Family bear the burden, wouldn't we be working for the Ling family? Are you trying to fool this silly boy?! "This was Shui QianHu's intention, and it was also his original words, without any deletions!
"Since we're collaborating, we have to show our sincerity. Why is the Ling family only providing information and not sending anyone? Could it be that we're all blind and deaf? Don't we have any spies? Don't we know how to investigate? What's the use of asking the Ling family to cooperate if they don't even contribute? "This was Shui QianJiang's words.
"Furthermore, the Ling family and Tamago are already in-laws. Who knows if this is a trap set by Tamago and the Ling family to target our Shui Family? This is even more of a reason for us to not be careful! "This was Shui QianHai's words.
"Even if their information is accurate and they have the sincerity to cooperate with us, the Ling family is merely a 'filler' family that has only risen in recent years and can be destroyed with a flick of a finger. What qualifications do they have to cooperate with us? Allies? Do they think the Ling family is worthy? QianRou, you and your brother's decision to form an alliance with them was truly a mistake ah! We are a thousand-year-old family that has existed for over a thousand years and not just anyone can talk about cooperation with us! The two of you have really damaged the magnanimity of our Shui Family! "This was the opinion of the several elders. It was obvious that these old fellows were still clinging onto the past and were immersed in the glory of the past. It was hard for them to see the situation in front of them clearly.
The only one who didn't say anything unpleasant, the Fifth Elder, also said in an experienced and prudent manner. "This is an eventful period and we need to consider this matter carefully. We cannot be rash."
Shui QianRou felt a deep sense of sorrow. For herself, for the group in front of her, and for the entire Shui Family! A thousand years of inheritance, a thousand years of glory, a thousand years of accumulation, how did it end up like this? The family's vision was so short sighted and so arrogant. Wasn't this kind of family too different from the family she had pledged loyalty to?!
Utter disappointment! This was the only feeling she had. Was the Ling family not worthy? Who was worthy? In fact, in the current Heavenly Star Continent, it should be the Ling family who had the qualifications to say to them that they weren't worthy of cooperating with the Ling family. However, they actually dared to say that the Ling family wasn't worthy? Was it too unwise or too foolish?!
Just who was the one who wasn't worthy?!
Should they consider this matter carefully? At the very most, the Yu Family would only need three to five days to retreat. How long would it take for them to come up with a proper plan? Should they wait until the Ling family had retreated back to Bright Jade City before taking action? What was the point of that? To kill or to be killed?
Since when did the thousand-year-old Shui Family, the number one family in the Heavenly Wind Continent, fall to such a state?
Was it because they were used to ruling over the Heavenly Wind Continent and were no longer used to having equal partners?!
In fact, Shui QianRou even heard someone suggesting that it wouldn't be too late for them to discuss cooperation after Ling Tian returned to Sky Bearing alive!
The moment she heard those words, Shui QianRou felt powerless to the extreme! If we were to wait for that fellow to return, I'm afraid that we wouldn't be cooperating with him anymore. We would be completely used by him and have no choice but to remain here!
Was that person easy to deal with and easy to talk to?
While Shui QianRou personally felt that the cooperation with the Ling House was indeed beneficial to the Ling family, it was also a fact that they were in a disadvantageous position. This was something that couldn't be helped. Firstly, be it food, lodging, or hiding their tracks, they would have to rely on the Ling family. To put it bluntly, without the Ling family, the Shui Family would still be blind and deaf no matter how many experts they had. Furthermore, Shui QianRou still had to rely on the Ling family to protect her brother, Shui QianHuan. Just from these two points alone, such a cooperation was definitely acceptable and wouldn't be considered to be at a disadvantage.
Apart from that, there was a third point, which was also the most important one. Right now, the true target of their cooperation was the Ling House and Ling Chen. While Ling Chen wasn't easy to deal with, it was still better than facing Ling Tian directly. After all, Shui QianRou and Ling Chen were sworn brothers and there would still be room for discussion. Even if they were to suffer a loss, it would be in the open. Thus, Shui QianRou hoped that Ling Tian would return a little later. If Ling Tian were to return, things wouldn't be as simple as they were now. That fellow was at least a hundred times scarier than Ling Chen! Even if that fellow were to go crazy and kill all of the Shui Family members, Shui QianRou wouldn't be too surprised.
That Ling Tian, he had never seen him play his cards according to common sense! She had also never seen him lose before!
However, these Shui Family members, even if she had reported everything that happened, didn't happen, and could happen to the Shui Family, they would still think that she was exaggerating in order to escape from her previous mistakes. They would still think that Ling Tian was the infamous number one silkpants in Sky Bearing …
Looking at the mouths of the Shui Family members in front of her, all of them acting as though they had a card up their sleeves, analyzing the situation to their heart's content, with saliva flying everywhere, Shui QianRou's last bit of hope also disappeared. At this moment, this strong-willed lady felt a sense of helplessness and weakness that she had never felt before!
Just when Shui QianRou was feeling tired and tired and wanted to leave, Shui QianHu asked her with a smile, "Sister Rou, I heard that this number one silkpants in Sky Bearing, young noble Ling Tian, is extremely handsome and elegant. I wonder if that's true?"
Shui QianRou looked at him with an expressionless face, "What does second cousin mean by that?"
Shui QianHu chuckled and a teasing look could be seen in his eyes, "I heard that sister Rou and young noble Ling Tian have met a few times, regretting that they didn't meet earlier. They would often chat through the night and are inseparable. I believe that sister Rou must be very worried about young noble Ling being pursued by the Martial Order Medallion owner, right?" Shui QianHu said with a sarcastic tone.
Shui QianRou raised her head abruptly, "You're spouting nonsense!" Shui QianRou was so aggrieved that tears almost flowed out of her eyes. For the sake of the family, I have done so many things that went against my conscience. I didn't hesitate to assassinate the person I loved and even schemed to harm his family. I was even scolded by the person I loved. That resolute tone, that vicious gaze, it was to the point of no return. All of this caused Shui QianRou to be completely disheartened. The only thing that supported her was her faith in the family! Right now, someone in the family actually dared to say such things about her?!
A trace of jealousy could be seen in Shui QianJiang's eyes as he said with a sinister tone, "Nonsense? Sister Rou, could it be that I've touched your sore spot? You're so insistent on our Shui Family cooperating with that small family to make up the numbers. You're sparing no effort to fight for the benefits of the Ling family. Sister Rou, have you already considered yourself as a member of the Ling family? Do you want to be a virtuous daughter-in-law of the Ling family? "
Shui QianRou's entire body trembled as her eyes turned red, "Shui QianJiang! Don't slander me! I, Shui QianRou, am a righteous person. Why would I do such a despicable thing to betray the family? "
"Despicable thing? Hahaha … "Shui QianHai laughed viciously," Everyone in the Tianfeng Family knows about this matter! You also know that this is despicable? What right do you have to say such words to us? How much effort did the family spend to nurture you for over ten years? How many elixirs did they waste to help you increase your cultivation? Now that your wings have hardened and you know how to find a lover, you actually know how to betray the family? Do you dare to say that you don't have any feelings for that profligate Ling Tian?! "
"My heart has never changed. I have never betrayed the family and have never betrayed the family! I, Shui QianRou, swear on this very day that if I ever betray the family, I am willing to receive the punishment of being torn apart by the family's chariot! "
"Hahaha … what a good oath! You are the daughter of the current family head. When will the punishment of being torn apart by the chariot be carried out on your body? Such a toothache curse, to think that you still dare to use it to scare people! Shui QianRou, why don't you dare to answer my question directly? Do you know that your words are very shameless?
