"Alright, then it's a promise!" Shui QianRou stretched out her palm. "Let's seal the promise!"
Ling Tian stretched out his right palm and pressed it lightly. With a light 'pa' sound, the two palms met. Ling Tian felt a soft and smooth sensation on his palm, as though he had touched a peerless piece of jade. His heart couldn't help but tremble, and for a moment, he didn't want to retract his hand. Shui QianRou's pair of bright eyes looked at Ling Tian's face with an incomprehensible dreamy expression. She stood there in a daze, and actually forgot to retract her hand.
After a long time, Shui QianRou suddenly retracted her hand as though she had been electrocuted. Keeping her hand in her bosom, she turned around. Ling Tian could clearly see that before she turned around, her eyes had already turned red. Those bright eyes were already filled with hot tears.
Ling Tian pretended to be relaxed and laughed. Standing up, he said, "In a moment, I will get someone to send you back. Shui QianHu and the other two will also be secretly sent to your hands. You can take revenge for your brother now."
Shui QianRou's body trembled as she spat out word by word, "I will, I will definitely." Her words were filled with a rare anger, hatred, and determination.
Ling Tian, who rarely saw someone like her, sighed softly and said solemnly, "Although I don't wish to persuade you, I still want to say that for those three people, it's fine if you kill Shui QianHu. As for the remaining two, you can kill them two and a half years later."
"Why?" Shui QianRou turned around agitatedly. "They worked together to kill my brother, and I can't wait to tear them into a thousand pieces right now! Shui QianHu is the main culprit, and of course, he must be killed. The other two are also accomplices, and may not be inferior to that bastard. Why should I wait for two and a half years? I must kill them to take revenge for my brother. Since my brother is already at the end of his rope, I will make sure that his enemies die before him! "
Shui QianRou's tone was so cold that it caused Ling Tian to shiver. He thought to himself, I don't dare to let this little girl know that everyone in the Ling family had a part to play in harming her brother. Who knows, it might become a huge disaster in the future!
A light flashed in Ling Tian's eyes as he said, "Not only must you let those two go, if your brother breathes his last, you must not send any news back to Heavenly Wind! All of this will take at least two and a half years! " Ling Tian looked at her coldly, "If you don't want the Shui Clan to disappear in the short term, you'd better do as I say. The decision is in your hands."
Shui QianRou was naturally not a stupid person. She was just overwhelmed by the grief and indignation that her elder brother was about to pass away. Now that she was awakened by Ling Tian's words, she immediately understood what Ling Tian meant. "You mean … the generational battle?"
Ling Tian nodded his head solemnly, "That's right. In less than two and a half years, it will be the fated battle between your Shui and Yu Clans. If you kill all three of them and spread the news of your brother's death, you will definitely not be able to live under the same sky as them! Your father will naturally not be able to take it, but the fathers of these three people will also not be able to take it! There will no longer be any buffer within the Shui Clan, and a bloodbath will definitely occur. No matter who wins in the end, the Shui Clan will suffer a huge blow and might even be destroyed. When it comes to the generational battle, even if your Shui Clan is still around, you might not be able to gather enough people to fight. At that time, how would the Yu Family, whose influence was at its peak, let you off? Even with my help, it would be of no use. Thus, the cleansing of the Shui Clan can only be carried out after the generational battle, "Ling Tian looked at her with a burning gaze," The generational battle is also the best opportunity. "
Shui QianRou shook her head sadly, "I'm afraid it's too late. Everyone knows that there's no hope for my brother's recovery. I'm afraid that the clan already knows about this matter. Even if I want to hide it, it won't be possible. "
"Oh … if that's the case …" Ling Tian muttered to himself as he took two steps forward. All of a sudden, he raised his brows, "If that's the case, tell the family that your brother should have died from his injuries, but we paid a huge price to invite Justice from Beyond Heavens to treat your brother. However, your brother's injuries are simply too severe, and while Justice managed to save his life, he still needs a long period of time to recuperate. Now that your brother has already been brought to the inner court of Beyond Heavens, he should be able to recuperate in peace. Let's delay this matter for now. As for the main culprit, Shui QianHu, after you take revenge for your brother, I will make some arrangements to throw him into a brothel and create an illusion that he was killed because of jealousy. Even if there are people who have suspicions, they won't have any evidence. This way, we will be able to drag things out. What do you think? "
Shui QianRou's eyes lit up, "This way, it will be hard to differentiate the truth from the lies. However …" A sorrowful expression appeared on her face, "My brother's death is already a huge blow to my father. If we continue to hide the news of his death … I'm afraid …"
"There's nothing to be worried about. There's a kind of lie called goodwill. Furthermore, you have no choice but to do this for the sake of the continuation of the clan. Even if your father finds out, he won't blame you. " Ling Tian said solemnly, "Even if your father finds out that your brother has already passed away two years later, he will definitely miss your brother more. Furthermore, at that time, you will have done a good job and the Shui Family will not be destroyed. Furthermore, I believe that your father and mother will be able to lessen the grief of your father and mother by a large margin when they find out that your brother has already passed away. However, if you were to send the news of your death back now, not everyone will be able to endure such a blow. "
Ling Tian's words were logical, and Shui QianRou could not help but calm down. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, "Prince Ling, you said that Justice has peerless medical skills. Is that true? Isn't he the Martial Order Medallion owner and the number one expert under the heavens?!"
"That Justice is a peerless talent in the world and his knowledge is truly unfathomable. Be it medicine or astrology, martial arts or literature, there isn't a single thing that he isn't proficient in. Actually, you've met him once before and the black-robed man who offered 50 taels of silver to purchase the Southern Seas Sandalwood Pearl was him!" Ling Tian looked at Shui QianRou with interest.
"It's actually him. He was the one who slaughtered over a hundred of us single-handedly. So his motive was really that Southern Seas Sandalwood Pearl. If not for him, how would my two uncles have died so miserably?!" Shui QianRou said hatefully. If not for Justice's crazy massacre, Shui QianRou and Shui QianHuan would not have ended up in such a miserable state. It was only natural for Shui QianRou to hate him.
"Miss Shui, I have to give you a piece of advice. You must extinguish all thoughts of revenge. Justice has already reached the pinnacle in all three of his martial arts. In the entire world, there is definitely no one who can match him. If not, why would I need to hide from him for half a year? Since we are already allies, I have to remind you! "Ling Tian said. "This kind of hopeless revenge will only lead to more meaningless sacrifices."
"I don't believe that there is no one in the world who can match up to him. The Grand Elder of my family, Shui WuBo, is brimming with talent and his martial arts are peerless. He has never been defeated in his entire life. Even the peerless expert who swept through Heavenly Star, 'Illusory Universe' Xu Ruomeng, was only able to fight to a draw with Grand Elder Shui. I believe that Grand Elder Shui should be able to deal with him!" Shui QianRou seemed to be filled with confidence in her Grand Elder Shui!
Ling Tian smiled. "Shui WuBo was able to fight to a draw with Xu Ruomeng. Is it that amazing?! Do you know that 'Illusory Universe' Xu Ruomeng is actually one of the three great sects, the direct descendant of Beyond Heavens, Meng RuoXu? Do you know that Xu Ruomeng, who swept through Heavenly Star and had never tasted defeat, was ultimately defeated by Justice?! "
"There's actually such a thing?" Shui QianRou's face turned pale. "To think that there would be such a peerless expert in the world!" Suddenly, a look of joy appeared on her face. "Since Justice is so powerful, and it's rumored that there is no one in the world that Beyond Heavens can't save, can we really invite him to treat my brother? Or perhaps, he really has the ability to save my brother!"
Ling Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Women were truly strange creatures. A moment ago, they wanted to kill that person to take revenge. But in the next moment, they wanted him to save their lives. Helplessly, he said, "The reason why your brother is able to survive until today is because of Chen 'er's Ice Profound Art. Although it has stopped most of his bodily functions, it has further depleted his life force. However, Justice's whereabouts are unknown. It's easy for him to find you, but where are you going to find him? Furthermore, even if you can find Justice, do you have the Martial Order Medallion to give him? Only the Martial Order Medallion can make him take action! Furthermore, even if Beyond Heavens' medical skills are miraculous, he is still a human and not a deity. Your brother is … "
Shui QianRou sat there without moving. After a long time, she sighed and said softly, "Currently, this is the only thing we can do." Although her voice was soft, in Ling Tian's ears, it was as heavy as a mountain. She had just found a sliver of hope to save her brother, but it was extinguished in an instant. No one would be able to accept this.
Ling Tian did not say anything. He stood there for a moment before walking out. Just as he was about to step out of the door, he heard Shui QianRou say softly, "Ling Tian, this time, even if you didn't raise any conditions with me, I would have agreed. I don't know if you have any other thoughts, but this time, I trust you wholeheartedly. Of course, it's because I no longer have a path of retreat. However, this is the first time in my life that I've trusted an enemy for such a huge matter. I hope that you won't disappoint me again. "
Ling Tian held onto the door frame and stopped for a moment.
Behind him, Shui QianRou's voice became firm, "Because you are Ling Tian, because I have no one else to trust. Therefore, I believe in you! Monarch wants Ling Tian, I believe in Ling Tian! "
I believe in Ling Tian!
Ling Tian's heart thumped heavily as he slowly turned his head. In the room, Shui QianRou was sitting on the chair with her head half lowered, her back facing him. Ling Tian suddenly felt that this back view was so lonely, so desolate and frail.
"I've said it before. From the first time I met you, I didn't wish for us to become enemies. This sentence is true, and also my heartfelt words!" After Ling Tian finished speaking, he strode out of the door without turning his head back.
Shui QianRou's body trembled, but she maintained her posture without turning her head. There were two soft 'ta ta' sounds on the floor. Two drops of crystal clear tears fell onto the floor.
