With regards to the Shui Family, Ling Chen and Li Xue were extremely dissatisfied. But seeing that the Shui Family had rushed over from thousands of miles away, the both of them decided to give the Shui Family some face.
That day, Li Xue, Ling Chen, and Ling Jian, who had already recovered from his injuries, headed over together, giving the Shui Family sufficient face. However, before the negotiations even began, Ling Jian had already pulled out his sword to kill them! Both parties fell out on the spot!
This was because when the Shui brothers saw that the two beauties Ling Chen and Li Xue were actually working together with them, they could not help but stare blankly at them. After calming themselves down, they could not help but start to spout nonsense. The three brothers felt that they were the descendants of the two most powerful families in the three continents, and working together with the Ling family was equivalent to lowering their status. Now that they were drooling over Ling Chen and the others, with the difference in status between them, wouldn't they be able to obtain them easily?
As such, the three brothers began to speak frivolously, and even showed signs of groping. Before Ling Chen and Li Xue could react, Ling Jian, who had accompanied the both of them, was already enraged! With a single slap, he knocked out half of the teeth of the most arrogant Shui QianHu. Probably because this brat had yet to recover from his injuries, he did not have the ability to retaliate and was stepped on by Ling Jian. According to Ling Jian's intentions, this brat should have been chopped into pieces.
Finally, both parties tried their best to dissuade each other, and Shui QianHu's life was spared. However, this was no longer the time to talk about cooperation, and both parties parted on bad terms. Right before they parted, Ling Jian shouted out arrogantly, "If you still want to talk about cooperation, then all of you better be obedient! If you don't want to cooperate, then all of you can scram! "
Before the Shui Family members could retort, Ling Jian had already announced a new decision: The Shui Family's food and lodging in Sky Bearing would not be the responsibility of the Ling family! Furthermore, each person would be charged 50 taels of silver a day! If you can't afford it, then scram!
Just as the crowd was boiling with anger and was about to start a huge battle, the First Pavilion Head, whose name shook the world, drew his sword and chopped a towering tree ten zhang away into a pile of firewood. Then, he stood with his sword and stared coldly at the crowd!
Everyone from the Shui Family kept quiet out of fear! Especially Shui QianHu, who had just narrowly escaped death, he secretly felt lucky. If he wasn't injured, he would definitely struggle for a bit, and then he might really become firewood!
Although there were quite a number of experts from the Shui Family, there was no one who could match up to Ling Jian in terms of swordsmanship! Just the might of this single sword was enough to stun the entire Shui Family!
Then, this great assassin arrogantly pointed his sword at Shui QianJiang and the rest, saying that if they wanted to talk, they would have to set another time. If they didn't want to talk, they would have to pay up and scram! Finally, he specially pointed out that if anyone dared to spout nonsense or look around, Lord Ling wouldn't mind cutting off their tongues and gouging out their eyeballs!
Facing Ling Jian's tyranny, the members of the Shui Family, including the six elders and three rising stars, did not dare to voice out their anger … Their arrogance had long been tossed to the back of their minds …
Before they could even regain their senses, Ling Jian had already left with the two young misses!
However, this action of his allowed Princess Shui QianRou, who was also from the Shui Family, to vent her anger! Seeing her three cousins hanging their heads in such a sorry state, Shui QianRou actually felt a sense of joy from the bottom of her heart. She rejoiced in their misfortune and used all her strength to not laugh out loud.
The Shui Family, who had lost all their prestige and face, returned to their temporary residence in silence. Although it was only a short period of less than an hour, the shock that this period of time brought to them was incomparable!
Who would have thought that the Ling family that they had always looked down on, a third-rate family, would actually have such a peerless expert? This was something that they had never imagined. Ling Jian's Heaven Shocking Sword was simply too shocking. Such martial arts and sword arts were something that even the thousand-year-old Shui Family wouldn't be able to match up to. In the eyes of Shui QianHu, Shui QianJiang, and the other elders, Ling Jian's martial arts were already at the highest level in the Shui Family. If they had to find someone in the Shui Family who dared to say that they could win against Ling Jian, perhaps only the number one expert of the Shui Family, Shui WuBo, would be able to do so!
Shui WuBo was the number one elder of the Shui Family and had dominated Heavenly Wind for his entire life. There weren't many people who could match him and he had never tasted defeat before. Even Tamago ranked Shui WuBo as the most dangerous person in the Shui Family and his importance was even above the current Family Head, Shui ManKong. If not for the fact that he didn't place the authority of the Family in his eyes and only focused on martial arts, the position of the Family Head might have already changed hands!
Another shortcoming of this Shui WuBo was that he was extremely protective of his own people and did things based on his personal preferences. As long as he found someone pleasing to his eyes, he would support that person no matter how unworthy that person was!
As for the Shui Family, it was precisely because of the existence of this Shui WuBo that the Elder Assembly that he belonged to was able to do as he pleased. As for Shui QianHuan and Shui QianRou's father, Shui ManKong's two younger brothers, they were also able to make friends with the various Elders and stand on equal footing with Shui ManKong. Especially during this period of time, Shui QianHuan and Shui QianRou's matters weren't going well and they had suffered heavy losses. Furthermore, Shui QianJiang and his two other brothers had used some unknown methods to gain the favor of Shui WuBo. Under their sowing of dissension, the strength of the Shui Family was greatly reduced and the authority of the Family Head was also on the verge of falling into someone else's hands. This was also the reason why Shui QianJiang and his two brothers were here.
From this point alone, while Shui WuBo was the number one expert of the Shui Family and he had indeed used his own strength to prevent others from spying on him, establishing the foundation of the Shui Family's dominance in Heavenly Wind. However, there were also pros and cons to this. As long as he supported someone or even showed a favorable impression of someone, it would definitely cause a huge commotion. For example, this time around, it was precisely because he found Shui QianJiang and his two brothers pleasing to the eye that the Shui Family's decision makers were divided. Of course, Shui QianHu and the others naturally wouldn't be aware of this point. They would only feel happy that they had obtained the favor of this old ancestor.
However, after personally witnessing the strength of the Ling House today, the few Elders were naturally shocked! After returning to his residence, the first thing the First Elder did was to summon Shui QianRou.
"Princess Rou, is the young man who appeared today the head of the Ling family, Ling Tian? He is indeed worthy of the title of Asura Killing God! "The First Elder couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart as he thought about the killing intent emanating from that young man. However, if that young man was Ling Tian, then everything would be within reason.
"No, because Ling Tian was ambushed by Beyond Heavens and the Martial Order Medallion and is being pursued by Justice, he is not in Sky Bearing." Shui QianRou shook her head, "The young man you are talking about is Ling Jian. He is Ling Tian's number one subordinate and his martial arts are extremely high. However, he rarely shows himself in public and I have only heard of him before. Perhaps it is because the Ling family places great importance on this meeting that he is here!"
Shui QianRou was also puzzled in her heart. The last time she saw Ling Jian was in the Smoky Thea Tower and his martial arts shouldn't have been so high. How did his martial arts improve so much in just a few months? It was as though he was a completely different person.
"Oh, I never imagined that a mere Ling family would actually have such an expert. The strength of the Ling family will have to be reevaluated. As for the previous cooperation, we should really reevaluate it. Who knows, there might be a high chance of success. "The First Elder pondered for a moment before saying slowly," How is Ling Tian's martial arts compared to Ling Jian's? "
Shui QianRou quickly made a comparison in her heart and said cautiously, "From what I see, Ling Tian's martial arts should be on par with Ling Jian's, or even slightly superior. However, it shouldn't be too much."
The First Elder's face turned serious, "Princess, are you saying that Ling Tian's martial arts are not below Ling Jian's and might even be superior?!"
"Ling Tian's martial arts are also extremely high. Even if he can't defeat Ling Jian, he should be on par with him. Just based on the fact that he was able to snatch the flag from an army of a million, his strength can be imagined!" Shui QianRou said with certainty.
The First Elder nodded his head in agreement. This was more reasonable. One had to know that Ling Jian's martial arts were so high at such a young age. If it was any other family, it would be a miracle. Even in the Shui Family, there was no such genius. If that Ling Tian's martial arts were far superior to Ling Jian's, it would be too inconceivable and illogical.
"From Princess Rou's point of view, what kind of attitude should we adopt for this cooperation?" At this moment, the First Elder had already realized that Shui QianRou's words in the past could very well be the truth. She might have even lowered the strength of the Ling Family. Back then, it was already a great thing for them to be able to cooperate with the Ling Family. However, it was already too late for regrets. Left with no choice, they could only brace themselves and try to salvage the situation. However, as to how to salvage the situation, only Shui QianRou, who had more contact with the Ling Family, would have the right to speak. Thus, the tone in which he asked this question was extremely humble and respectful.
"Cooperation?" Shui QianRou laughed mockingly. "First Elder is too good at joking. How can we still talk about cooperation now? The three young masters had offended Ling Tian's two most precious women and his number one subordinate. In the absence of Ling Tian, the entire Ling House is completely under the control of Ling Chen and Ling Jian! Today's situation is extremely tense! The current situation is already extremely bad. To put it bluntly, it's already very good that the Ling family isn't attacking us today. How can we still talk about cooperation under such circumstances? Wouldn't that be a huge joke? "
"Shui QianRou! What do you mean by that? " Shui QianJiang stood up angrily. "Before this, we didn't know each other's identities. Besides, what's wrong with the three of us expressing our admiration for each other? Furthermore, we didn't know that they were Ling Tian's women. Furthermore, the Ling family is actually so stingy, using such a ridiculous reason to make things difficult for us. It's obvious that they don't want to cooperate at all! "
Shui QianHai also started to make a ruckus. "That's right. Also, why didn't you explain the situation clearly at the beginning? You made us misjudge the strength and situation of the Ling family, which led to today's incident. In the end, Princess Shui, you can't escape the blame for today's incident!" After pausing for a moment, he seemed to have thought of something and said angrily, "Perhaps you were harboring evil intentions from the start! You did it on purpose!
