Shui QianRou was instantly enraged as her brows furrowed. "Before I left, which part of my explanation was unclear? I even explained clearly who the other party was and what their identities were! In fact, all of you should have already known that Ling Chen was Ling Tian's woman and the person in charge of the Ling Family Courtyard. However, all of you thought that you were the descendants of an aristocratic family and felt that you were a cut above the rest, not caring about my words at all. At the last moment, all of you were blinded by lust and committed such a shameful act. In the end, all of you still have the face to blame me? Inverting black and white is nothing more than this! "
Taking a few deep breaths, Shui QianRou looked coldly at the two of them. "Putting yourself in their shoes, if they were your wives, would you allow them to be coveted by others?" There was one sentence that Shui QianRou did not say. If Ling Tian was here, the three of you would have been dead by now. How would you be so relaxed?!
Shui QianJiang rolled his eyes and said arrogantly, "Our Shui Family went to discuss the cooperation with the utmost sincerity. However, the Ling family actually dared to treat us in such a manner and even beat up brother Hu. It is obvious that they have no sincerity in cooperating with us! They did not leave any face for our Shui Family and even demanded fifty thousand taels of silver from us every day! Are they treating our Shui Family as fools? Such humiliation, we will definitely make the Ling family pay with their blood! "
Shui QianRou rolled her eyes and sneered. "No sincerity? The three people with the most authority in the Ling family are here together. Is this considered sincerity?! Face? Face is given by others, but you are the one who threw it away. Who was the one who did not have any sense of shame and ended up getting revenge?! Talking about paying with their blood? Zhenzhen said it well! But why didn't you say anything back then? Why didn't you say anything when Shui QianHu was beaten up? Now you are trying to act tough on me? If you have a temper, you should direct it at that Ling Jian. Outside, you suffered a loss and became a mute. Behind closed doors, you actually dare to throw your weight around in front of your own people. Shui QianJiang, you really have guts! If you have the ability, then go find Ling Jian and make him pay with his blood. I definitely won't stop you. Why don't you go!? If you really dare to go, I'll give you my word! "
"Speaking of the money, did the Ling family ever mention anything about it? If the three of you didn't offend them, do you think the Ling family would care about such a small amount of money? The items that they were prepared to let the Tamago people take away were worth at least ten million taels of silver! Now that you've angered them, the Ling family wants to draw a line between you and them! Lest some people become arrogant and forget their surname! "
Shui QianJiang's face instantly flushed red as he tried to defend himself, "What kind of status do I have? How can I argue with a servant from a third-rate family? Wouldn't that be even more beneath my status? In the entire Ling family, only the head of the family, Ling Tian, can barely match my status. "
"Hahaha …" Shui QianRou was so angry that she started to laugh. "Since you're superior to others and looked down on them from the start, why are you rushing to cooperate with them now? Can't you just solve the problem yourselves? What's the point of cooperating? What's the use of looking for me? What can I do? "
"Enough!" The First Elder shouted in annoyance. "If you have anything to say, it won't be too late to say it after we settle the Tamago matter! Why are you arguing with your own family behind closed doors? Is there any meaning to it? What we should be thinking about now is how to re-establish our cooperation with the Ling family. How can we continue to discuss cooperation under such circumstances? If we can't continue with this matter, don't tell me that we have to go back the way we came from thousands of miles away? "
As soon as this matter was brought up, the two people who were arguing immediately shut their mouths. This time, even Shui QianJiang and the rest understood that after witnessing the strength of the Ling family, cooperating with them was the most beneficial thing at the moment! If the Ling family really refused to cooperate with them, they would have to either take over the Ling family and make them their own power, or retreat quietly. There was no third option!
But if they wanted to take over the Ling family? Was that even possible? Was it realistic?
In fact, before today, everyone from the Shui Family had the same idea. After all, wouldn't it be easy for them to capture a small third-rate family?
But after seeing Ling Jian's sword today, everyone who was daydreaming was instantly jolted awake! What a joke! With such a powerful expert in the Ling family, it would already be good enough if they didn't take over the Ling family. How could they talk about taking over the Ling family? Of course, this plan was already dead in the womb.
But, to retreat in dejection? Then wouldn't his group become a huge joke? It would be even worse than Shui QianHuan's mistake! One had to know that they had traveled thousands of miles back and forth, and they didn't do anything but travel around once? After returning home, the three of them would probably be in the same situation as Shui QianHuan, forever stripped of their right to inherit the family head position! In fact, their consequences would be even worse than Shui QianHuan's. At the very least, Shui QianHuan had fought and suffered heavy injuries! But the three of them didn't do anything at all! It couldn't be said that they didn't do anything. Didn't they still offend a 'third-rate' family?! It wasn't a big deal. The only problem was that this' third-rate 'family had at least one expert on the same level as Shui WuBo!
Besides, in this continent, there was still their old enemy, the Tamago family, eyeing them covetously. Even if they retreated, they might not be able to leave safely …
Actually, if they thought deeper, they would be able to recall that the Tamago family was a 'first-rate' family that had been on par with them for thousands of years. Even they didn't intend to take over the Ling family and only dared to run away with a sum of money. What right did outsiders like them have to ride roughshod over them?!
It was a pity that now that things had come to this, was there any meaning in thinking about all this?!
"Now that things have come to this, this old man can only throw away this old face and personally make a trip to the Ling House's courtyard. Princess Rou, how about you accompany this old man there? After all, this is an important matter for the family! Princess, please put aside your prejudices and leave this old man here to you! "The First Elder sighed and rolled his eyes at Shui QianHang and the rest. If not for these three unfilial disciples, how would he have to be so passive and humble?
"Let's put the interests of the family first. QianRou is willing to listen to First Elder's orders." Shui QianRou said helplessly with a heavy expression. Actually, she was extremely happy in her heart. If she could make use of this matter to completely suppress the arrogance of Shui QianHang and the rest, and if she put in more effort in this matter, perhaps the family would be able to pardon her brother's sins. At the very least, she would be able to reduce his past mistakes and share some of the pressure on her father's side …
In the secret chamber of the Ling House's courtyard, the four people all had strange expressions on their faces. However, three of the women were looking at Ling Jian with a troubled expression. On the other hand, Ling Jian's expression was very, very, very innocent, and even a little self-righteous!
Finally, Ling Chen sighed and shook her head helplessly. "What do you all think of today's matter? Is there still a need to salvage the situation?! "
Ling Jian chuckled and said coolly, "What do you mean by 'what do you think'? Is there still a need to salvage the situation?! This kind of scum should be dealt with with with a sword! That's the right way! Otherwise, young master will be annoyed when he comes back. "
Ling Chen, Yu BingYan, and Li Xue looked at each other and had the urge to give him a kick.
Yu BingYan had just come out of seclusion and naturally did not know what had happened. She only heard a rough idea from them and shook her head. "I don't think the Shui Family will be willing to cooperate under such circumstances. As a thousand-year-old family, they still have the dignity of a thousand-year-old family. Since we've already shed all pretense of cordiality today, how can they put down their face like this? I think we should make preparations to deal with the Shui Family before they leave. "
"Of course not!" Ling Chen and Li Xue shook their heads. "Ling Jian's actions today might have been a little rash, but if Ling Jian could still maintain his composure at that time, the two of us would have already taken action! So, based on the performance of those three pieces of trash from the Shui Family, it is destined that we will part on bad terms. Thus, Ling Jian did not do anything wrong. "
Ling Chen nodded her head. "That's right. Furthermore, based on the situation, Ah Jian's actions might not be a bad thing. The reason why the Shui Family dared to be so arrogant was because they did not understand our strength and did not put us in their eyes. Ah Jian's actions will not only not spoil the situation, it will even increase our bargaining chip. This is greatly beneficial to us! There was no way the Shui Family would retreat. However, there is one thing that Ah Jian is wrong about. "
"What is it?" Ling Jian asked in bewilderment.
"You said that young master will be annoyed when he comes back. That is wrong." Ling Chen said with a faint smile.
She did not expect Ling Chen to have the same thoughts as her. Li Xue burst out laughing. "That's right. If Tian 'ge comes back and sees Shui QianJiang and the other two, he will probably be very happy." As she said that, she exchanged a glance with Ling Chen and could not help but laugh.
Yu BingYan thought about it carefully in her heart and finally understood. With a smile, she said, "Sisters, are you saying that these three despicable people are actually of great value?"
"That's right!" Ling Chen and Li Xue said in unison with a weird smile on their faces, "The value of the three of them is definitely not enough to accomplish anything in the Shui Family. But to us, the three of them are rare commodities worth hoarding."
Ling Jian snorted and said in a depressed tone, "Killing them with a single sword, how straightforward … isn't it better than going around in circles? Young master also said that strength is the absolute truth?! "
Ling Chen glared at him. "You only know how to kill, kill, kill. Young master has many other things to say, so why don't you say them? How many times has young master warned you to use your brain more? Even now, you are still such a brave man! "
Ling Jian snorted and said, "When it comes to scheming, young master is much better than anyone else in the world. Furthermore, there are the few of you and Meng Lige, that scoundrel, to come up with a plan. This is already a little too much. I am only young master's sharpest sword. Whatever young master tells me to do, I will do. Whoever young master wants me to kill, I will kill. What I am concerned about is whether the mission can be completed, not how it can be completed. Even more so, I do not care about the process of completing the mission! Young master once said that everyone has to find their own position, and my position is to slaughter! On this point, I feel that I have found my position very accurately. " (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters.
