HuangFu Jun of the HuangFu Family had a fiery gaze in his eyes and his handsome face was flushed red. Thinking about how he was finally able to see his beloved after so many years, and seeing that peerless beauty that he yearned for day and night, he could not help but feel excited. Thinking about how the Family Head of the Shui Family, Shui ManKong, seemed to have the intention of granting him his wish, HuangFu Jun almost lost control of himself.
His dream of many years was about to become a reality and this young noble could not wait any longer.
"We are finally here." Ling Tian let out a long sigh of relief and felt the smell of the soil from afar. Looking at the continent that they were about to land on, he could not help but feel a little impatient. To young noble Ling, life on the sea was simply too dull and boring. While the beautiful scenery of the horizon was intoxicating, looking at it too many times would cause one to feel tired, not to mention looking at it from day to night. If that was the case, it was still fine. But to not be able to experience ecstasy while beside a peerless beauty, Ling Tian found it unbearable every day. The little Prince Ling would even raise his hand in protest every morning …
If not for Shui QianRou's strict order that the Shui Family warriors were only allowed to stay on the lower levels and were not allowed to come up, young noble Ling Tian's days would be even more difficult.
Beside him was the weirdly dressed Ling Jian, but his back was as straight as a javelin.
"Ah Jian, what kind of expression do you think those brats will have when they see us?" Ling Tian chuckled and took in a breath of the cool sea breeze.
"My guess is that they will cry." Ling Jian could not help but smile.
"Really? Do you want to make a bet? I say that they won't cry. Do you dare to make a bet? Whoever loses will have to run around the Heavenly Wind Continent naked. How about that? "Ling Tian chuckled and stroked his chin with a strange look in his eyes.
"I don't dare." Ling Jian shivered and shook his head honestly. What a joke, ever since he was young, he had never won a bet with the young noble …
Run around naked? Ling Jian was not that thick-skinned. Sneaking a glance at Ling Tian, Ling Jian nodded affirmatively. He firmly believed that with the thickness of his young master's skin, he wouldn't blush even if he ran around naked. Besides, with his young master's current skills, even if he really ran around naked, no one would be able to see his image …
The small gray dot in the distance gradually grew larger, and the image of the large ship became clearer in everyone's eyes as it gradually approached the shore.
The disciples of the Shui Clan had already split into two rows, standing on both sides of the stone steps. This time, the disciples of the Shui Clan were all elites of the clan, and they were all well-trained. Every single one of them had a dignified appearance, and their gazes were fixed straight ahead. HuangFu Jun shamelessly squeezed his way to Shui ManCheng's side and walked forward together, quietly waiting for Shui QianRou's group to arrive.
It was unknown if it was because of the Sky Alliance's calamity, but no one from the Shui and HuangFu Families had discovered that the members of the Sky Alliance had already dismounted from their horses and were quietly standing by the side. The three masked leaders all had fervent gazes as they looked at the large ship that had already stopped, as though they were waiting for an important figure.
The horn of welcome sounded out, and a peerless beauty dressed in white appeared at the entrance of the ship like a fairy. She gracefully took a step forward, and facing the thousands of gazes on the shore, her expression remained indifferent and cold. However, she naturally exuded a noble and elegant aura. She was like the clouds in the blue sea, and the moon in the clear sky, gentle like jade, yet unattainable.
"Welcome back, little princess Rou!" The Shui Family warriors shouted in unison, and their voices reverberated for miles.
Shui QianRou's eyes flashed with a trace of faint pain and indescribable sadness. She thought of her elder brother, Shui QianHuan, who had been buried in the Heavenly Star for eternity. She let out an imperceptible sigh. After she suppressed that bit of pain and sadness, she slowly walked down the stairs. The Shui Family warriors on the ship were all in high spirits. The comfortable feeling of a wanderer returning home caused all of them to be extremely emotional as they lined up behind Shui QianRou.
Under the operations of Ling Tian, while the Shui Family had lost more than sixty percent of their manpower in the Heavenly Star Continent, they had still managed to establish a foothold in the Heavenly Star Continent. Furthermore, they had obtained the recognition of the other major power in the Heavenly Star Continent, the Ling family. From a certain perspective, this could be said to have fulfilled half of the wishes of the Shui Family's ancestors. Just based on this merit alone, their merits far outweighed their faults. No matter how many people were sacrificed, this merit was no longer important.
Shui ManCheng was furious in his heart, but he was also a sly old fox. His face did not reveal any of his emotions as he stepped out from the crowd and said in a warm voice, "Niece QianRou, it has been tough on you all this time. This trip to Heavenly Star was a glorious one, and you have even established the foundation of our Shui Family in the Heavenly Star Continent. Your contributions are truly worth celebrating."
Shui QianRou calmly bowed and said, "Many thanks for Third Uncle's praise. How can I claim credit for my contributions to the foundation of the Shui Family? Now that QianRou has returned today, Third Uncle has actually personally come to receive me. This niece is truly overwhelmed by this favor and is extremely grateful in my heart. As for the previous battle where we lost so many elite disciples of the Shui Family, how can QianRou have the face to boast about her contributions? How can QianRou claim credit for her contributions? Cousin Qian Jiang was even more unfortunate to have fallen into the hands of those bastards. Every time this niece thinks about it, her heart feels as though it is being stabbed by a knife. Now that I am facing Third Uncle, I am truly too ashamed to show my face. "
The muscles on Shui ManCheng's face twitched violently as his gaze sharpened. He gritted his teeth and revealed a smile, but it seemed a little sinister. How could he not know how his son had died from the countless letters he had received? If someone were to say that Shui QianRou's shadow was not involved, he would not believe it even if he was beaten to death. Now that he heard Shui QianRou say such words in front of him, he could not help but feel even more hatred in his heart.
"Qian Jiang sacrificed his life for the family and it is a worthy death for the men of our Shui Family. Rou 'er, you don't have to take it to heart. Although Third Uncle is grieving, he is also proud. " Shui ManCheng's calm voice was filled with killing intent, as though he could no longer suppress his killing intent.
"That's right. Cousin Qian Jiang was unable to leave behind a descendant for Third Uncle to continue the family line even after his death. Even the heavens were moved by his passing." Shui QianRou said with a hint of guilt.
Speaking of the family line, Shui ManCheng could no longer hold it in. His face was as black as the clouds and he bit his lips so hard that they were about to bleed. He took in a few deep breaths and said, "It must be tough for niece to come from afar. You should return home early to rest. If there's anything, we will definitely talk it out in the future. "
Shui QianRou nodded her head and said, "Third Uncle is right. If there's anything, we will definitely talk it out." After saying that, she walked away with her head held high.
Shui ManCheng's face turned ashen as he asked coldly, "Why is there only niece here? Didn't QianHuan return this time?"
Shui QianRou's mouth twitched in pain as she stopped in her tracks. Without turning around, she said, "Big brother's injuries are extremely severe. Thankfully, the heavens have protected him and he has already been brought away by Senior Justice from Beyond Heavens. I believe that he will definitely return one day. The things that belong to him, no matter how much others dream about it, it is useless. " As she said the last two sentences, Shui QianRou suddenly turned around and looked at Shui ManCheng with a cold gaze filled with killing intent.
Uncle and nephew looked at each other, but they could see the deep hatred in each other's eyes that was difficult to dispel!
After a long time, Shui QianRou snorted and retracted her gaze before walking away. Shui ManCheng clenched his fists tightly and two deep footprints were left on the stone steps beneath his feet.
"Miss … Miss Shui, you're finally back?" A pleasantly surprised voice sounded somewhat incoherently, "I … I missed you so much."
Shui QianRou's face darkened as she reprimanded, "Young Master HuangFu, please conduct yourself with dignity! Are these words something that you can say so casually? "
HuangFu Jun's soul was originally shaking and he was unable to control himself. But when he heard Shui QianRou's harsh words, not caring that they were in public and not giving him any face at all, his face could not help but darken as he said with displeasure, "Little sister Rou, I think you still don't know that Uncle Shui has already agreed to our marriage. The reason why I'm here today to welcome you is also because I have obtained Uncle Shui's approval. In the near future, the Han Family will be preparing the betrothal gifts and we will be getting married. Is there anything that I can't say?"
"Getting married? Are you still dreaming?! Are you even worthy? " Shui QianRou sneered and said with disgust, "HuangFu Jun, stop dreaming! It's impossible for you to get married with me! Even if all the men in the world die, I will not marry a shameless pervert like you! " A cold smile appeared on Shui QianRou's face as she looked at HuangFu Jun with disdain, "Do you really think that no one knows about the atrocious things you've done in the dark?"
HuangFu Jun's handsome face flushed red and he was unable to argue. This brat was born with a handsome face and was always looking for flowers everywhere. Whenever he met a woman that caught his eye, no matter if she was in a boudoir or a married woman, it would be difficult for her to escape his evil clutches. Over the years, he had ruined the chastity of over a hundred women. It was only because the HuangFu Family's power had increased greatly in recent years that he was able to get away with it. A trace of viciousness appeared in HuangFu Jun's eyes as he cursed in his heart, "Little slut! Don't be so arrogant. Wait until this daddy marries you and presses you down on that delicate body of yours. Then, you will have a taste of this daddy's methods. " However, he said in a gentle voice, "Little sister Rou, marriage has always been decided by the parents and the matchmaker. I'm afraid it's not up to you or me to decide." The meaning behind his words was that her father had already agreed. Even if she had any objections or was unwilling, it would be of no use.
If it was in the past, Shui QianRou might have panicked a little. But now that she knew that Ling Tian had accompanied her to the Heavenly Wind Continent, her heart was as calm as Mount Tai. How could she care about a mere HuangFu Jun? She sneered and said, "Is that so?" She no longer cared about that despicable person and walked past him, disregarding him as she gradually walked away.
HuangFu Jun looked at Shui QianRou's incomparably beautiful figure walking away heartlessly and he could not help but grit his teeth.
Forcefully resisting the urge to turn around to take a look at that person, Shui QianRou continued to walk forward silently. She knew that Ling Tian was probably no longer on the boat, or even with her group. Even if she turned around to take a look, she would probably not be able to see him.
After today's parting, the next time we meet again would probably be a month later, right? And when I return home this time, I will have to face that endless scheming and scheming. Just thinking about it makes me tired both physically and mentally! Shui QianRou felt a sense of loss in her heart.
On the shore, everyone rode on the horses that the family had prepared. Shui QianRou also rode on the divine white horse that she used to ride at home and slowly set off. HuangFu Jun's face was gloomy as he carefully bid farewell to the few leaders of the Sky Alliance. He brought a few of his followers and followed behind Shui QianRou with a thick face, fuming like a toad.
However, HuangFu Jun still felt some joy in his heart. Today, he was actually fortunate enough to meet the three most mysterious leaders of the Sky Alliance. Furthermore, from the looks of it, their impression of him was not bad. If he was able to improve his relationship with them, his family's strength would definitely rise to another level. When he returned home, he would definitely discuss this matter with his father and the rest.
The pitiful Young Master Huangfu did not know that another cold and clear gaze had paused on him for a long time. Beside Tian Zhiyi, a black-robed man was riding on a horse. He looked at Huangfu Jun, and a rather interested light flashed in his eyes. He muttered to himself, "Huangfu Clan? The number two aristocratic family in the Heavenly Wind Continent? What a good toy! Ya. Originally, I was afraid that I would be too lonely in a faraway place. But now, I don't have to worry about that anymore! "
Tian ZhiYi and his two brothers were surrounding the mysterious black-robed man. When they heard those words, they smiled silently with an expression that said 'I knew this would happen'. The way they looked at HuangFu Jun was as though they were looking at a puppy that could be abused by anyone.
If there was anyone with eyes, they would be able to tell that the position of the black-robed man was in the middle of the three leaders of the Sky Alliance. Furthermore, the position of the three leaders of the Sky Alliance did not affect the vision of the black-robed man. At the same time, they made use of the terrain to seal off any path that could lead to the mysterious black-robed man.
If there was someone who was proficient in assassination or defense, they would be able to tell that the three of them were standing in the standard position of bodyguards! From their gazes and movements, one would be able to tell that the position of the mysterious black-robed man in the middle was extremely high in their hearts!
Just what kind of person would have such a high position? The most famous Sky Alliance in the Heavenly Wind Continent, the most mysterious three leaders, were actually acting like subordinates?!
After a sharp whistle, the eight hundred cavalrymen of the Sky Alliance mounted their horses in unison. Their movements were unusually orderly, and their backs were ramrod straight. Before they came, the three leaders had already instructed them time and time again that they had to be in their best condition. If any of them were to lose face, they would be expelled from the Sky Alliance and beheaded without mercy!
This was the first time that the three leaders had treated a matter so seriously. All eight hundred of them were trembling with fear, afraid that they would be used as a role model if they did not perform well. If they were really kicked out of the Sky Alliance, they would rather be chopped down with a knife than to die.
Unknowingly, the sky had already been covered by dark clouds. Faint streaks of lightning could be seen flowing through the clouds, as though a huge storm was brewing.
The eight hundred cavalrymen remained motionless on their horses, waiting for their leader's orders!
Excitement could be seen in Tian ZhiYi's eyes. That was because he saw a trace of satisfaction in Ling Tian's eyes as he looked at the eight hundred cavalrymen. In that instant, he felt as though a huge stone had been lifted from his heart.
Ever since they came ashore, Ling Tian had not even spoken a single word. Tian ZhiYi and the rest felt extremely stifled, afraid that their young noble would be dissatisfied. Now that they saw Ling Tian's expression, they could finally put their hearts at ease.
With a faint smile, Ling Tian nodded his head and took the lead, galloping forward on his horse. Behind him, Ling Jian was riding on his horse like a shadow, only half a horse's length away as he followed closely behind!
Tian ZhiYi waved his whip, and with a loud 'pa' sound, he shouted, "Let's go!"
The eight hundred cavalrymen were split into eight teams of a hundred, following behind in an orderly manner. In that instant, the sound of hooves thundered, and the road was filled with dust! In less than a quarter of an hour, they had already caught up with the Shui Family's cavalrymen, without any intention of slowing down.
Shui ManCheng's eyes were filled with rage, but after thinking about it, he could only raise his whip and order the Shui Family's warriors to move to the side of the road, opening up a path for them.
Their thousand-year-old nemesis, Tamago, was about to arrive. If they were to offend the Sky Alliance at this moment, it would be as good as making life difficult for themselves! The gains would not make up for the losses!
Shui QianRou did not know why, but she could not help but furrow her brows and ask, "Why are you opening up a path for them?"
Shui ManCheng sneered and replied nonchalantly, "Those are the three dragon heads of the Sky Alliance! Could it be that you want to bury all of our family members here? If niece is willing to test their might, Third Uncle will definitely not stop niece's interest! "
"Sky Alliance!" Shui QianRou snorted coldly, feeling a little sorrowful in her heart. Since when did the Shui Family, who had always been domineering in the Heavenly Wind Continent, have to open up a path for others?
Her limpid eyes could not help but stare fiercely at the cavalrymen behind her. However, she only saw a person taking the lead and appearing in front of her in the blink of an eye. That person's face was expressionless as he squinted his eyes at her, revealing a playful smile as he quietly passed by her.
"Ah?" Shui QianRou was taken aback. So it was that hateful fellow! She snorted and her voice rang out from afar, implying that she would teach him a lesson the next time they met! That hateful fellow actually hid it from her for so long!
Following closely behind, another person on horseback passed by and chased after her without looking sideways. It was just that when this second person passed by, all of the Shui Family members felt a strange chill run down their spines. It was a chilling feeling that could freeze one's heart.
"Eh?" Shui ManCheng looked at the two people who passed by in confusion. How could there be people in the Heavenly Wind Continent who dared to ride on horseback in front of the Blood Iron Cavalry led by the three heads of the Sky Alliance? Were they tired of living? Let's see how the two of them will die later!
However …
Under the lead of the three heads of the Blood Iron Cavalry, the Sky Alliance's cavalry moved faster and faster, resembling a gigantic black dragon whizzing past. When they passed by Shui QianRou, Tian ZhiYi, Tian ZhiEr, and Tian ZhiSi all cupped their fists and bowed to Shui QianRou. After which, they sped past Shui QianRou and disappeared into the distance.
Shui QianRou's face turned red and she lowered her head. With the identities of the three heads of the Sky Alliance, Shui QianRou naturally knew why they would bow to her. This was definitely not because of her identity as the little princess of the Shui Family. Instead, it was because they were paying respect to their young noble's woman. Who would have thought that even though they were far away in Heavenly Wind, they would actually know about her matters? Could it be that cold-blooded assassin who told them about her? A trace of suspicion surfaced in Shui QianRou's heart. Looking at that fellow's cold and aloof appearance, he didn't seem like a chatterbox. If it wasn't him, then could it be that pervert who said it? How could his skin be so thick …
Suddenly feeling that something was amiss, she turned around only to see Shui ManKong smiling and cupping his fists to return the greeting.
Third Master Shui took Tian ZhiYi and the other two's actions as them thanking him. He couldn't help but reveal a proud expression as he shook his head in delight, "Did you see that? In the time that you weren't around, your Third Uncle swept through Heavenly Wind unhindered. Who would dare to disrespect me? Even the three heads of the Sky Alliance have to pay their respects to me. "
He had completely forgotten that he had ordered the other party to make way for him just a moment ago.
Even though Shui QianRou was filled with hatred and disdain for her Third Uncle, she still couldn't help but burst out into laughter. She had seen thick-skinned people before, but she had never seen such a shameless person before. Wasn't this how he acted?!
Outside of Jade Water City, the undulating hills and dense forests completely cut off the line of sight of the passersby. The distance from here to Jade Water City was less than three hundred li, but it was already a dangerous place where few people dared to go.
After leaving the main road, the eight hundred men were like a wisp of smoke as they arrived at this place. The nearest village was about fifty to sixty miles away before they finally stopped.
Following Tian ZhiYi's orders, everyone dismounted from their horses and neatly lined up in a square formation. Tian ZhiYi and his two brothers were at the front and they had long removed their masks. Facing the two men on the hill, the three of them suddenly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Ling One, Ling Two, Ling Four greets young noble!"
Those who were still guessing the identity of the two men were all startled. Without any delay, the three of them knelt down in unison, "We greet young noble!"
Ling Jian, who was behind Ling Tian, took a few steps back as though he was weightless, avoiding this bow.
"Rise, all of you." Ling Tian laughed heartily, "Ah Da, all of you have done well these few years and have exceeded my original expectations. I am very satisfied, very satisfied!"
"Thank you for your praise, young noble. This is what we should do." Tian ZhiYi (Ling One) kowtowed once more before standing up respectfully. Turning around, he faced his subordinates and said loudly, "Brothers, this young noble in front of you is our true master, Prince Ling of Heavenly Star Continent. He is also the future master of Heavenly Star Continent! From today onwards, everyone, including me, must listen to young noble's orders unconditionally and not defy him in the slightest! Furthermore, regarding young noble's arrival in Heavenly Wind, it will be the number one secret of the Sky Alliance. No one is to leak it out! Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy! "
"Yes!" They replied in unison.
"Brothers, do you know the origin of the name Sky Alliance?" Since the introductions had already been made, it was time for the brains of the Sky Alliance, Tian ZhiSi (Ling Four), to take the stage. "Because we are young noble's men, we are the Sky Alliance! This' Tian 'is not the' Tian 'of' Heaven 'or' Earth ', but the' Tian 'of young noble! Do all of you understand now? "
"Understood!" The eight hundred people present replied in unison, their eyes blazing with passion. Looking at Ling Tian who was standing on the hill, everyone's eyes were filled with fervor. For a long time, although they did not say it out loud, the Sky Alliance had made use of the convenience of information to spread the story of this young noble Ling Tian.
Young noble Ling Tian broke through an army of five hundred thousand to save his father! Traversing through an army of a million, he was unstoppable!
Young noble Ling Tian chased after the number one expert in the world, Justice, for a thousand miles and finally forced Justice to cancel the Martial Order Medallion that had shaken the world since ancient times!
Young noble Ling Tian single-handedly cut off the peak of the mountain, causing the river to flow backwards! Defeating the Xiao family's army of four hundred thousand!
Young noble Ling Tian destroyed the Yang Family, killed the Dong Fang Family, annihilated the Xi Family, killed the Nangong, massacred the Northern Wei, pacified the Southern Zheng, and ended Eastern Zhao …
Just the mere mention of these feats would cause one's blood to boil, and the members of the Sky Alliance were already well known by everyone. Of course, the stories of young noble Ling Tian angering N number of teachers and visiting a brothel at the age of six were strictly forbidden.
Under such a subtle influence, young noble Ling Tian had become the idol of almost everyone in the Sky Alliance. Today, when they saw him in person and heard that he was the person they pledged their loyalty to, everyone was extremely excited.
It could be said that the brainwashing of the core members of the Sky Alliance by Ling Yi and the rest was extremely successful. These eight hundred cavalrymen were the core members of the Sky Alliance and were the most thoroughly brainwashed. Now that they saw their idol, how could they not be fanatical?
If not for the strict discipline of the Sky Alliance, they would have probably rushed over to ask for an autograph or a handshake. Even if they were to strip naked and beg for young noble Ling Tian to leave some calligraphy on their hairy thighs, it was still possible for them to do so … * cough * * cough * * cough * * cough * * cough * …
"Brothers!" The moment Ling Tian spoke, his voice reverberated through the entire area. Everyone felt as though Prince Ling's voice was right beside their ears, as though he was speaking only to them. Their chests puffed out and they stood even straighter. Their admiring gazes swept over to him ….
"From today onwards, we are a family." Ling Tian broke out in a cold sweat and continued, "During this period of time, all of you have done well! Even when I was far away in Heavenly Star, I received news of all of you. I am truly proud of all of you! Let's not talk about those empty words anymore. In short, our goal from today onwards is to trample this world under our feet! To turn this world into our own world! "
"Generals and ministers have no guts. Men should strive for self-improvement! Nobles, generals, and ministers, we all have guts! Who knows how many generals and ministers will emerge from your ranks in the future? How many nobles and ministers will emerge from your ranks? Brothers, let us wait together. Let us see just how many of our brothers will leave their names in the annals of history, to be passed down through the ages, to be passed down through the generations! I hope that when the war is over, each and every one of you will leave your names in the annals of our dynasty!! "
"Roar! Roar! Roar! " Under Ling Tian's passionate encouragement, the eight hundred cavalrymen seemed as though they had taken an aphrodisiac.
… …
After dismissing their subordinates, Ling One and the other two acted as guides and led Ling Tian and Jian Wushuang to Jade Water City. After removing their robes, the three of them were no longer the mysterious leaders of the Sky Alliance. Instead, they were the wealthiest people in Heavenly Wind. The wealthy Ling One had already booked the most luxurious restaurant in Jade Water City, the 'Leisurely Jade Water Restaurant', to welcome Ling Tian and Jian Wushuang.
It was only early in the morning, but the table was already filled with good wine and various dishes, all of which were specialties of the Heavenly Wind Continent. Birds and beasts, exotic delicacies were spread out in an orderly manner. The large dining table was already densely packed with dishes, and they were still being served up like flowing water …
After three rounds of wine, everyone began to relax. The excitement from their first meeting had also gradually calmed down.
Ling Tian sat at the head of the table, with Ling Jian sitting to his left. On his right were Ling One and the rest, who were seated in a circle. At this table, there were only five of them.
"Ah Da, I sent Nineteen and Twenty over. Where are they now?" Ling Tian casually asked as he sipped his wine.
"Those two fellows can't sit still." Speaking of Ling Nineteen and Ling Twenty, Ling One seemed to have a headache. "After they sent the cultivation technique over, they refused to leave, saying that they were following young noble's orders. Since you said that you were following orders, then you should just stay here! Young noble, it's not like you don't know their personalities. They really wish for the world to be in chaos. If they don't fight for a day, they'll feel uncomfortable all over. Furthermore, they've been on the battlefield for so many years. In less than three days, they've already caused so much trouble for me. They even taught my subordinates a lesson and said that they were training them for me! My subordinates have been coming to complain to me every two to three days. These two living fathers, they won't listen to me. They can't beat me in a fight, so what should I do?! In the end, I made up my mind. Weren't you guys willing to fight? Thus, I handed over all matters related to fighting to those two little bastards. We were happy and relaxed … "
At this point, everyone laughed. Ling One scratched his head and chuckled. "Just a few days before young noble's letter arrived, a large merchant guild under our jurisdiction was actually robbed when they were escorting goods through Mount Qingshou Yang. Then, those two gathered their men and charged over that night. Yesterday, we received news that they've found some clues and are currently investigating."
"Oh." Ling Tian nodded. Ling Jian interrupted by the side, "That is to say, ever since the two of them came, the three of you have been slacking off? Your martial arts definitely didn't improve?! Your subordinates were being trained by Nineteen and Twenty, but what about yourselves?! Your martial arts were originally better than Nineteen and Twenty's. Now, it's three against two, so why can't you beat them?! Don't you think you owe me an explanation?! "
"Cough cough cough …" The three of them coughed loudly. Their hairy faces flushed red, then turned white, then green! Ling Two and Ling Four glared hatefully at Ling Yi who had let his mouth slip, wishing they could give him a good beating.
"It's fine. Occasionally slacking off is actually understandable. You guys are all important figures now. I really don't have any intention of blaming you. " Ling Jian's smile was a little creepy. "After we finish eating, let me see how your martial arts have improved. En, I'll give you some pointers. Just some pointers. "
"Ah?!" When the three of them heard the first half of the sentence, they couldn't believe what they heard. But after hearing the second half, they were sure that what they heard was true. At the same time, their faces turned sour and their faces turned blue. They were really unlucky to have said such a thing unintentionally. Ling Two and Ling Four looked at Ling One with an even more unfriendly gaze. The meaning was obvious: It's all your fault for that stupid mouth of yours! The scene of them being trained by Big Brother Ling Jian flashed through their minds, and they couldn't help but shudder.
Ling Yi sat there as though his parents had died. He wished he could slap his own mouth. Despicable! His mouth was despicable! Who asked you to spout nonsense again …
Seeing the pleading gazes of the three of them, Ling Tian could not help but laugh, "Alright alright, even if you want to spar, you should at least wait until after the meal. Only then will you have the energy to spar. There's no point in talking about it now. You guys should accompany your brother Jian to spar. Along the way, he has been stifled to death."
The three of them sighed at the same time. It was completely hopeless …
"How's Mount Vacant? Is there any progress in the investigation?! "Ling Tian slowly asked the question he was most interested in.
"Mount Vacant has already been taken over by the Shui Family, and has become a forbidden ground in Heavenly Wind. No outsiders are allowed to enter, and the security is extremely tight. " Ling Yi paused for a moment before continuing. "We originally thought that the Shui Family had some other scheme in Mount Vacant and tried to sneak in twice. We didn't discover anything strange, but we were unable to enter the innermost part. Thus, there was no progress at all. I beg for Young Noble's forgiveness."
"There's such a thing?" Ling Tian asked in surprise. Why was that so? Could it be that the Shui Family also knew about the secret of Mount Vacant? Ling Tian stroked his chin and asked with a frown, "You didn't investigate clearly?! That's not a big deal. I was just casually mentioning it back then! It's just that … according to your observations, which direction is the tightest in Mount Vacant? "
Ling Si knew that since the young noble had asked about it, there must be a reason. Although he said that it wasn't a big deal, he was trying to console the three of them. Thus, he dragged a plate of fish over and placed it on the map. "Young Noble, please take a look. Mount Vacant has three peaks, and they are located in a triangular formation. The Shui Family's base is located in the middle of the triangular formation. Using this fish as an example, the head of the fish is in the east, and the tail is in the west. The defenses on the east and west sides are not that tight. As long as one's movement techniques are high, they would be able to come and go without being discovered. Even with the three of us' movement techniques, we could only barely sneak to the periphery. As for the innermost part, we have never been able to enter. I estimate that there are at least seven to eight layers of defense at the core. Unless we forcefully attack, otherwise … "
"Middle peak?" Ling Tian's eyes widened. "The Shui Family is guarding the middle peak? The heavens are really helping me! "He suddenly shook his head and laughed. The more he laughed, the louder his laughter.
Following which, Ling Tian and the other two began to talk about their encounters in Heavenly Wind over the past few years. They talked about the strange happenings, ancient ruins, and legends. Ling Tian listened with great interest. Unknowingly, the sun had already risen.
After such a long separation, everyone was in high spirits. Ling Jian had even forgotten to train Ling Tian, Ling Tian, and Ling Tian. All of a sudden, the sound of galloping horses could be heard from afar, causing the people on the streets to cry out in shock. Ling Tian furrowed his brows. Outside was the busiest street in Jade Water City, and there was an endless stream of commoners. Yet, these people were actually rushing their horses at such a speed. It was obvious that they did not place human lives in their eyes.
These few days, Feng Ling's cousin had left, and the culprit was still nowhere to be found. Feng Ling was really in a terrible fix. Today, he had to chase out all these people in one go.
