Li Xue's eyes lit up as she carefully sized up Ling Jian with a look of admiration. All along, Ling Jian had always been cold and indifferent. Wherever Ling Jian appeared, there would definitely be blood and slaughter. He never thought about anything, nor did he know how to scheme. His only thought was to follow Ling Tian's instructions to destroy and slaughter!
In the past, Li Xue had always thought that Ling Jian was a pure martial artist who had succeeded in becoming a top-notch assassin. Never would she have thought that this was all part of Ling Jian's plan! Only now did Li Xue realize that she had greatly underestimated him! Ling Jian's intelligence lay in the fact that he had already found his own position! With his intelligence, he could have completely replaced Ling Chen's current position and become the number two person in the Ling House's courtyard, making all the decisions on behalf of Ling Tian. However, he did not do so. He had always kept a low profile and hid in the shadows, only doing what he was supposed to do. Under any circumstances, he would never overstep his boundaries!
By doing so, Ling Jian's authority would be greatly reduced. However, the advantage of doing so was that no matter what, Ling Tian could suspect anyone but Ling Jian! This was where Ling Jian's intelligence lay!
Ling Chen's eyes also lit up as she reevaluated this man who had grown up with her like an elder brother. Her eyes were filled with gratification.
Just as everyone was deep in thought, there was a sudden knock on the door. The guard came to report that the Grand Elder of the Shui Family and the little princess of the Shui Family had come to visit. The three ladies looked at each other and smiled. Li Xue stood up lazily and said, "Little sister BingYan, I'll go take a look at your painting and see how much progress it has made. Let's go." Yu BingYan giggled and the two ladies immediately fled.
Ling Chen and Ling Jian smiled bitterly at each other. Looks like it's our job again. Ling Jian looked in the direction that Li Xue had escaped in and said angrily, "She really runs fast. She's always like this."
Ling Chen sighed. "I want to run too."
Ling Jian rolled his eyes. "How about I get Ling Lei and Ling Dian to accompany you? I … don't want to see that Great Elder either. I'm afraid that I'll get angry and kill him with my sword. "
Ling Chen immediately glared at him. "Are you saying that you won't go either? No, you have to go with me. You want to run away after causing trouble? How can there be such a convenient thing? "Ling Jian let out a bitter sigh.
In the living room, Ling Chen warmly entertained the guests. Ling Jian stood behind her with a poker face. Although he didn't say a word, the pressure he exerted on the First Elder was unparalleled.
With regards to the cooperation, Ling Chen was extremely courteous, but she didn't give in at all! It was still the same conditions that she gave Shui QianRou. In fact, it was even harsher. Ling Jian's words were also confirmed. The Ling family would no longer provide the Shui Family with food and lodging for free. Each person would be given 50 taels of silver per day. If there were any injuries, they would have to deal with it themselves.
After Ling Chen finished speaking, Ling Jian coldly added a sentence. If you want to cooperate, you can proceed according to this plan. If you have any objections, you can leave. Furthermore, Ling Jian emphasized that those three b * stards had better not appear in front of him again. Otherwise …
Who were the three b * stards? Everyone was well aware.
This result caused the First Elder to feel extremely sullen. After living for so long, he had never felt so sullen before! If he knew that this would be the case, he would have just handed everything over to Shui QianRou. Now, not only did he suffer a huge loss, he didn't even have a way to reason with them. While Shui QianRou's previous agreement also resulted in them suffering a loss, it was still better than not being able to gain anything!
Finally, both parties agreed that the moment Tamago's men leave Sky Bearing, it would be the time for both families to take action! At that time, the Ling family would inform Shui QianRou immediately. As for the Ling family, they would only accept the cooperation led by Shui QianRou. As for the others, sorry, they wouldn't trust them!
After going around in circles, the decision of the Shui Family was finally returned to Shui QianRou's hands. This result almost caused the First Elder to vomit blood! But now that things had come to this, he could only pinch his nose and accept this decision.
In this negotiation, the happiest person was naturally Shui QianRou. She was naturally able to feel the sincerity of becoming sworn sisters. With regards to this cooperation, Shui QianRou felt even more confident in her heart.
Just when the Ling House was in the midst of negotiations, Shui QianJiang and the others took action. It was this action that caused Shui QianRou to become irreconcilable with the three brothers.
Seeing the First Elder and Shui QianRou leave, the three brothers felt even more indignant. If they were to allow this matter to continue, even if they were to succeed in their mission against Tamago, all the credit would be given to Shui QianRou and the three of them wouldn't have anything to do with it. In fact, if the family were to pursue the matter of the internal strife, the three of them would be blamed for it. The more they thought about it, the angrier they got. The three of them couldn't help but start cursing. From Shui QianRou to the Ling family, from the Ling family to Shui QianRou, there wasn't a single person in the Ling family who was willing to let them off.
Under the flowering tree in the courtyard, Ling Chi leaned against the tree and looked up at the sky. Suddenly, he heard the intense cursing coming from the room. Listening to the content of the cursing, he couldn't help but feel anger rising in his heart. He really wanted to kill those three bastards. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind and a strange smile appeared on his face. After thinking for a while, he slowly walked into the room where Shui QianHuan was recuperating. The moment he entered the room, there was a strong smell of Chinese medicine. Shui Seven was brewing medicine for Shui QianHuan. Young Noble Shui was lying on his side on the bed, his breathing heavy and his face pale. After such a long time, there wasn't much improvement in his internal injuries. This caused this rising star of the Water of Heavenly Wind to be extremely depressed. The heavier his heart was, the harder it would be for his condition to recover. With such a vicious cycle, how could his condition recover?
Shui QianHuan and Shui Seven didn't pay much attention to Ling Chi entering the room. However, Die 'er raised her eyes and glanced at him, but for some reason, she turned away with a red face. Ling Chi's heart trembled as he sighed and said, "Recuperating from internal injuries requires the patient's state of mind. Just recuperating and not moving is not enough. It's better to go out often to recuperate and recover faster."
Die 'er stood up with a worried look on her face. "Go out? Where can we go? After all, this isn't our place. "Her voice was low and filled with worry. Her bright eyes glanced at Ling Chi's handsome face and she suddenly sighed. Her heart was in a mess.
Ling Chi smiled warmly and said, "You don't have to go far to relax. After all, Young Noble Shui is still injured. No amount of exercise will do you any good. The exercise I'm talking about is just a small area of activity. For example, today's weather is pretty good. You can go out and bask in the sun and get some wind. I think it will be good for your injuries. If you're always cooped up in your room, even a good person would fall sick. Furthermore, you're an injured person. "
Die 'er's eyes lit up as she looked at Shui QianHuan and probed, "Young Master, your complexion looks much better today. Why don't … we go out for a walk? Basking in the sun and breathing in the fresh air is also good! "
These words were meant to reassure him. Only those who could see would be able to see the sallow complexion of Young Noble Shui. How could he be in a good mood?
Shui QianHuan nodded his head and said somewhat absentmindedly, "Going out for some fresh air is also good." He ordered Shui Seven to carry his body while Die 'er carried a chair to a flowering tree outside the room. The air inside and outside the room was naturally different. Shui QianHuan had been cooped up in his room for more than half a month. Now that he was outside, he felt that the air was much fresher. His mind also cleared up and was no longer as lifeless as before. He couldn't help but feel refreshed as he nodded his head and expressed his thanks to Ling Chi.
Die 'er saw that Ling Chi was leaning against a flowering tree far away with a green leaf in his mouth. His head was facing the sky as he sat there leisurely. She couldn't help but feel envious. She also felt that on this young and handsome man, there seemed to be a heaviness and loneliness that other people of the same age did not have. After looking at him for a while, she suddenly felt an indescribable pain in her heart. She then looked at Young Noble Shui who was enjoying the sunlight with an intoxicated expression on his face. She couldn't help but sneak closer to Ling Chi.
Right at this time, the noise in the room grew louder and louder. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, as if something had been smashed. Shui Seven turned his head to look, but Shui QianHuan didn't even raise his head, as if he didn't hear anything. The current Young Noble Shui had already lost all his ambitions, but there weren't many things for him to worry about.
Die 'er sat down beside Ling Chi and raised her eyelids as she muttered, "I wonder when these few Young Masters will be able to change their tempers. How hateful." Ling Chi raised his head to look at the sky, ignoring Die 'er. The corner of his mouth curled up in a mocking smile as he said in a low voice, "Young Noble once said that it's easy to change mountains and rivers, but difficult to change one's nature. How can a person's nature be changed so easily? These few people, I'm afraid they'll be like this until they die. Or perhaps, they'll die because of their bad luck."
Die 'er had been teasing Ling Chi for the past few days, but was ignored. Today, Ling Chi actually opened his mouth, and she couldn't help but feel excited. She leaned closer to him and giggled, "So a blockhead like you also knows how to speak."
Ling Chi snorted, but didn't say anything else. Die 'er was depressed. She wanted to tease Ling Chi again, but couldn't bring herself to do so.
All of a sudden, a loud groan sounded out, followed by a muffled cry of pain. It was Shui QianHu who had lost half of his teeth from Ling Jian's slap. At this time, the effects of the anesthetic had just worn off, and he was squealing like a pig being slaughtered.
Shui QianHang's voice could be heard, "That fellow is really ruthless! With just one slap, more than half of Second Brother's teeth have fallen out. Looks like Second Brother won't be able to eat properly for the next few days. Tomorrow, I'll go find a famous doctor to take a look at you. "
Shui QianHang spat out a mouthful of saliva, rejoicing in other people's misfortune. "I feel that Second Brother didn't suffer much this time. He almost touched that little girl's hand. If he really did touch it, this slap would have been worth it." As he said that, he chuckled.
Shui QianHang laughed and said, "What a pity, what a pity." It was unknown what he was feeling pity about.
Shui QianHang raised his voice and said with some indignation, "But that trash Shui QianHuan really has good fortune. He's lying on the bed like a tortoise, not moving at all. To think that there's such a good sister who's willing to work so hard for him …"
Shui QianHang's face was full of malice, and he didn't say a word. After a long while, he said gloomily, "Shui QianHuan, that good-for-nothing, is already a half-dead man with serious internal injuries. Even if he can jump around, he won't have much time left. What's there to worry about? What I'm worried about is … "
Shui QianHang looked outside and couldn't help but chuckle. He lowered his voice and said, "That trash has come out."
Shui QianHang laughed and purposely raised his voice, "So what if he's come out? Trash is still trash! Don't tell me he can turn into a treasure? I also said the same thing in front of that trash. Can't others say that he's trash? Trash, unable to accomplish anything, but good at spoiling things! Big trash! "
Under the flowering tree, Shui QianHuan's body shook when he heard the insults. He slowly opened his eyes and a cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes. He said in a hoarse voice, "Even a good-for-nothing could do this, but the three of you ruined it with just a few words. Aren't the three of you better than a good-for-nothing? Over a thousand people are stationed here, but they can only look on helplessly. Look, look, look at how beautiful the scenery of Sky Bearing is. 50 taels of silver per person a day, it's definitely worth it. "
With a creak, the door opened, and Shui QianHang stood in front of the door. He looked at Shui QianHuan with a gloomy face and mocked, "Even if it's 50 taels of silver a day to look at the scenery, it's still better than some wastrel throwing away the lives of a thousand people and tens of years of hard work. In the end, he even ended up half dead. How glorious!"
Shui QianHuan coughed twice and looked elsewhere. He then chuckled, "Even if I'm covered in injuries and half dead, it's all for the Shui Family, for the family! Even if I made a mistake, I, Shui QianHuan, have a clear conscience! There will be a day when the family will understand everything that I, Shui QianHuan, have done for the family, and will not allow a shameless person to do as he pleases. "
Shui QianHang let out a shrill laugh, "For the family? What a joke! Young Master Shui, no, it should be Young Master Shui, has he been beaten senseless? If not for our arrival, I'm afraid that Young Master Shui, who only cares about the family, would have already died. Now that he's struggling at death's door, he still dares to boast shamelessly. What a joke. Who knows if those injuries were inflicted by the enemy or by himself? After all, with such injuries, the family will not be able to punish someone who should be punished. These injuries are really worth it. " Shui QianHang's words were filled with mockery and ridicule. He was actually saying that Shui QianHuan's injuries were self-inflicted, and he was only trying to escape the family's punishment!
The moment the three of them met, they were like old enemies, exchanging words one after another. No one could interrupt them. Their tongues were like swords, and the smell of gunpowder was getting thicker and thicker.
Ling Chi sat by the side calmly, turning a deaf ear to the quarrel between the three of them. Unknowingly, he had a green foxtail in his mouth and was twisting it between his lips. His face was completely expressionless, but his tensed skin was slowly relaxing. This was exactly what Ling Chi wanted to see the most, and it was also a scene that he could create. How could he not enjoy such a good show?
From the time he heard the three of them talking to the time he urged Shui QianHuan to come out for a walk, everything was for this moment! Ever since Ling Chen found out about the tempers of the three of them, as well as the relationship between them and the Shui siblings, she had decided to completely drive a wedge between Shui QianRou and Shui QianHuan. This was her plan to unify Heavenly Wind in the future! Ling Chi was only an executor, and now it was up to Shui QianHang and the rest to see how far these three free extras could go. If it was still not enough, Ling Chi would definitely not mind adding oil to the fire.
Even if their relationship was as sweet as honey, there would still be countless rumors flying around. What's more, they were already fighting and scheming against each other.
"Everything you've done for the family? Shui QianHuan, you trash, you used your ignorance to let down the family's hopes. You caused the family's vanguard troops and the 400,000 strong Northern Wei army to be completely destroyed! Following that, you used the family's trust to activate the Northern Wei spy system. That was the family's decades of savings, but you sold it all to the Tamago. In the end, not even a strand of hair was left! This is what you've done for the family, what you've done! Shui QianHuan, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have come all the way to Heavenly Star! And after we arrived, you actually instructed your sister to work with the Ling family in order to win the heart of your beloved, and even gave away all the benefits! You even hid it from us during the negotiations, causing our Shui Family to be humiliated in Heavenly Star! This is what you and your sister have done for the family! "
Shui QianHang laughed coldly, his gaze sharp as a knife. "This is what you've done for the family? Haha, you're just trying to consolidate your position and take the opportunity to win the heart of the beauty, right? It's a pity that Young Master Shui was unable to win the heart of the beauty? "
Shui QianHuan's indifferent face suddenly revealed a look of anger. He coughed twice and raised his head to glare at Shui QianHang. "Bullshit! The matters of the Shui Family are the matters of the Shui Family, what does it have to do with the lady? Shui QianHang, you better watch your mouth. "
"Huh? You're unhappy? Feeling indignant for the lady? "Shui QianHang laughed coldly." She's just a maid! Back then, I didn't know about it. If I knew about her identity, I would have to reconsider even if she came knocking on my door! To think that you, the young master of the Shui Family, would be so infatuated with the personal maid of someone else. I believe that if Ling Tian knew about this, he would definitely be very happy. "
This sentence was like a thorn in Shui QianHuan's heart. His breathing quickened as he glared fiercely at Shui QianHang. "What did you say? What do you mean?"
"What do I mean? Haha, if you put yourself in my shoes, I would also be very happy. "Shui QianHang raised his eyebrows and said in a strange tone." She's Ling Tian's concubine. Concubine, do you understand? A character that even our family is tired of playing, but she's able to make the young master of the Shui Family, one of the two great families, so infatuated with her. Tsk tsk tsk … How glorious! "
"You're not allowed to speak of Lady Ling Chen in such a manner!" Shui QianHuan's chest heaved up and down as he glared at Shui QianHang. "Take back your words! Otherwise, I'll kill you! I'll definitely kill you! "
"Isn't that so?" Shui QianHang laughed sarcastically. "She's just someone's leftover toy, and you actually treat her as a treasure! To think that you won't even allow me to speak of her. Tsk tsk, it's a pity that she doesn't appreciate it! Hehe, kill me? Shui QianHuan, do you think that the Shui Family is still under your control? Don't put on your pitiful airs of a young master. Isn't that right, former young master? You're already finished, Shui QianHuan, do you know that? Kill me? Do you have the ability to do so? You're really daydreaming! What a joke! "
Shui QianHuan's breathing quickened as his face turned red. He scolded sharply. "Bastard! What a crazy bastard! … What qualifications do you have to inherit the Shui Family? What qualifications do you have to use your filthy mouths to mention Lady Ling Chen? You … you're not worthy! "
With a loud bang, a round object the size of a bench flew out of the window. It was extremely close to Shui QianHuan, and no one had expected it. With a loud bang, the heavy object smashed onto Shui QianHuan's chest. With a few cracking sounds, several of Shui QianHuan's ribs were broken! He spat out a mouthful of purplish black blood, and in an instant, he lost consciousness and was on his last breath! That object rolled onto the ground with a clang. It was a copper cauldron used for brewing medicine.
This scene was too sudden, and everyone present turned pale with fright!
Amidst the exclamations, a muffled voice scolded angrily. "F * ck, a dog shit maid actually dares to treat her as a treasure! If not for that slut, this daddy wouldn't have had my teeth knocked out! Shui QianHuan, you trash, just you wait and see. There will be a day when this young master will strip your sweetheart naked and press her under my body, making her happy! "
Shui QianHuan stubbornly held on to his last breath as he glared at Shui QianHu in the room. Mustering the last of his strength, he said in a low voice filled with hatred: "… … Shui QianHu … … I will … … kill you with my own hands!" Suddenly, his eyes rolled back and he fainted. His internal injuries were already extremely serious, and now that he was struck by the copper cauldron, a few of his ribs were broken. Even a man made of iron would not be able to withstand such a blow, and he fainted. His breathing became weaker and weaker, and his life was in danger!
Seeing this, Shui QianHai and Shui QianHang knew that they had gotten themselves into big trouble, and their faces turned pale. Even if Shui QianHuan had committed a capital crime, he would still be punished by the family's laws, and it was not up to the three of them to execute him. Today, Shui QianHu had thrown the cauldron out of anger, and if Shui QianHuan really died, then the three of them would not be able to escape responsibility, and would definitely be buried with Shui QianHuan.
A figure flashed, and Ling Chi was already beside Shui QianHuan. Reaching out, he placed his hand on Shui QianHuan's wrist, and a pure and deep internal energy slowly entered his body. The first thing he did was to stabilize Shui QianHuan's heart, ensuring that his life was not in danger for the time being. The following events had happened too quickly, and even Ling Chi did not expect it. He did not expect Shui QianHu to react so violently upon hearing Ling Chen's name, and even threw the cauldron used to brew medicine to hit his own cousin! To openly deal such a fatal blow, this was too swift and fierce!
Right now, no matter what, Ling Chi could not allow Shui QianHuan to die just like that. With such an incident happening, even the usually calm Ling Chi started to panic.
Today, Shui QianHu had been publicly slapped by Ling Jian in front of the two families, and even had his face stepped on to the ground. Such a humiliation, how could this pampered young master endure it? Ultimately, it was all because of Ling Chen's beauty, and he immediately took his anger out on Ling Chen. At this time, hearing that there was a commotion outside because of Ling Chen, he could not help but be enraged. Adding on the unbearable pain from his wound, he grabbed the cauldron and threw it out in a fit of extreme anxiety.
This throw was purely based on the strength of his body, and there was no infusion of internal energy. It could be said that if it hit anyone in the courtyard, it would definitely be fine! But this' anyone 'did not include the heavily injured Shui QianHuan!
It was too much of a coincidence!
Even Shui QianHu himself did not expect that the cauldron that he had casually thrown out to vent his anger would actually hit the already heavily injured and dying Shui QianHuan so accurately!
