Even the few fellows in the Sky Alliance of the Heavenly Wind Continent had started to fight amongst themselves. That was because Ling Jian did not calculate the amount by group but by number of people. For example, the Sky Alliance's bill was as follows: Ling Jian: * * silver; Ling Jian: * * silver …
What was even worse was that Ling Chi had added two more sentences below: The top ten will not receive any rewards but the bottom ten will be punished!
Since everyone was not together, who knew how much each of them took out? In order to not fall behind, they naturally took out as much as they could! All of them were afraid that they would fall into the bottom ten because they had less points than others. Everyone was extremely clear that it was fine if the top ten did not receive any rewards but the bottom ten would be punished. Even if they did not want their lives, they would at least lose a layer of skin …
Especially after knowing that this notice was sent out by Ling Jian, the remaining 40 over people were all enraged.
In just a few days, almost all the aristocratic families in the three continents had their properties raided!
At the same time, auctions were held everywhere and treasures were being sold for money. There were two groups of daring fellows who actually worked together and with the help of XiMen Sa, they intercepted the Yu Family's army of rations in broad daylight. Within half a day, they sold the rations for 200,000 soldiers to the poor commoners at ten times the original price before escaping without a trace. The 200,000 soldiers were starved for a few days and this caused Yu ManLou to fly into a rage and order for an investigation to be carried out!
In the Heavenly Wind Continent, the Shui Family was the only family that did not suffer a calamity and the few leaders of the Sky Alliance did not dare to rob their new ally. However, the most bizarre thing was that the Shui Family was robbed continuously over the past few days. In the dead of the night, there were black masked men who visited the Shui Family more than ten times. Shui ManKong, who had guessed the situation, let out a long sigh and ordered everyone to go to sleep before opening two of the three vaults. In the end, the next day, the two vaults were completely empty and even a mouse would come out with tears in its eyes …
This time, the establishment of the Divine Prefecture Empire had led to an extremely harmonious society where the rich and the poor were equally distributed. In many places, even if one wanted to play 'Fight the Landlord', one would not be able to find a single person within a radius of ten miles … This led to the society being extremely peaceful without anyone to be jealous of.
Furthermore, another effect was that the imperial family of the Divine Prefecture Empire became extremely wealthy, and Ling Tian announced that he wouldn't be collecting any taxes for the next ten years. The world immediately became prosperous, and the wheels of history began to move forward …
It could be said that this bunch of bandits had contributed greatly to the stability of Ling Tian's empire!
Such a strange occurrence was something that even Ling Tian, who had lived for two lifetimes, had never seen or even heard of such a thing before!
Such a miraculous event, not only was it unprecedented, it was also likely that it would never happen again!!
The current Sky Bearing City was once again bustling with noise and excitement after the gathering of the Eight Directions Alliance. The liveliness this time was far greater than the previous time by several times, perhaps even more than ten times!
Faced with such a bustling scene, the Ling family officials in charge of receiving guests all complained incessantly. They originally thought that this job would be a lucrative one, but who would have thought that the workload would be so huge! With all of them working together, how could they still be bothered about the rank of the officials or the division of their positions? All of them were running around until their legs broke.
Actually, the various aristocratic families and the envoys from the various empires were all extremely courteous. The moment they met, they would exchange pleasantries, offer gifts, and give them gifts. Even if such a job was tiring, it was still a joyous one. However, the problem was that a bunch of bandit-like youths had appeared out of nowhere. While they looked young, their tempers were not small and they did not treat themselves as outsiders at all. They were either full of smiles, frowning, or arrogant, ordering the officials in charge of the reception around. As for the 'gifts' and 'consolations', as long as they were found out, they would be confiscated and confiscated. The moment the situation was serious, they would be beaten up and sent to jail.
It was not that the officials did not think of retaliating, but these youths were not easy to deal with. Not to mention their martial arts, they even had experts backing them. Anyone who reported them would either be beheaded or removed from their post. At the very least, they would be severely reprimanded by their superiors. In the end, none of the officials dared to say anything. Who knew where these youths came from?
The ones who were the happiest were the inns in Sky Bearing. With so many people entering the city, the Ling family could not even accommodate 1% of the guests and could only split them up. As such, the inn owners had a golden opportunity to earn money. Every single one of these guests was extremely wealthy and the gifts they casually gave were enough to cover the income of the inn for a few days …
Naturally, the biggest winner was the Smoky Thea Tower. During this period of time, Gu XiYan's fingers were already sore from counting money …
If one were to stand on top of the city walls and look into the distance, they would still be able to see people rushing over from all directions like flies that had smelled honey.
The envoys from the DongFang Family had arrived …
The Xiao family had arrived …
The envoys from the Moon Deity Empire had arrived …
The Water of Heavenly Wind which was an ocean away had actually sent someone over …
…
The most eye-catching thing was that groups of people of unknown origins came one after another in a long line of carriages to congratulate them. It was as if they were moving house. The carriages were filled with iron boxes of various sizes, and the ruts of the carriages left deep marks on the hard ground …
Furthermore, these people were actually familiar with each other and could often be heard conversing with each other.
"Ah, isn't this Brother Shiliu (Sixteenth Brother)? How much did Brother Shiliu prepare this time? "A black-faced youth greeted him warmly.
"Ah, it's Third Uncle (Third Ninth Brother) ah, ah ah, not much, just a little. It's really not much. What about you? You should at least have more than this brother! "A bearded man replied with a chuckle.
"Err … ah ah ah, my family is rather poor. Even after using all my strength, I can only get a little. How can I be as rich as Brother Shiliu? I'm afraid I'll be in the bottom ten this time." The black-faced youth snorted.
The conversation between the two of them was heard by others and they felt as though they had fallen into the clouds. It was just too strange. There was actually a man called 'Brother Shiliu' and this' Brother Shiliu 'addressed the youth in front of him as' Third Uncle '. What kind of address was this? Third Uncle was Third Uncle, Younger Brother was Younger Brother, why was it still Third Uncle's Younger Brother? Could it be Third Uncle's cousin? Then calling him Younger Brother was enough. Why did he have to add Third Uncle?!
This was still not the strangest thing.
"Aiya, Brother Shiliu (46), you're finally here. This younger brother missed you to death."
"Haha … Brother Shiliu (48), it's really been a long time. How much did you get this time?"
"Cough cough cough … Just a drizzle, hehe, a drizzle … Brother Shiliu, what about you?"
"Brother Shiliu still has this temper. Hahahaha, this older brother might be at the bottom this time."
"You flatter me, you flatter me …"
"Ah, it's Brother Shiliu and Brother Shiliu. Hahaha, this younger brother missed you to death."
"Hahaha, it's Fourth Uncle (49), Brother Shiliu (49) is here. Look at this brat's flushed face. He must have made a fortune."
… …
The official in charge of receiving the guests was confused by these names. Brother Shiliu (Brother Shiliu)? Brother Shiliu (Brother Shiliu)? Brother Shiliu (Brother Shiliu)? Damn, what kind of names were these? Could it be that there were still people in this world with the unlucky surname of Shiliu?
But these people seemed to know each other. If they were in the same group … not good! The official hurriedly beckoned someone over and hurriedly wrote a note, stuffing it over. His expression was incomparably serious. "Quickly hand this over to Young Master. It's extremely urgent! I'm afraid there might be a change in the situation! "
This kind of information was naturally super important. This note was placed on the table in front of Ling Tian with extremely high efficiency.
Ling Tian was currently drinking the lotus seed porridge personally made by Yu BingYan. When he saw this note, he spat out a mouthful of porridge onto Ling Jian's face without warning. Ling Jian's face was instantly filled with black lines. What was wrong with Young Master today?!
This was Ling Tian. If it was anyone else, Ling Jian would have directly drawn his sword to greet them!
They were clearly in the middle of an incomparably serious discussion. But suddenly, such a thing happened. In an instant, his entire face was covered in sticky paste. His own black robes were also covered in a patch of paste. It was abnormally even. As expected of the method of a peerless expert.
Looking at Ling Tian again, he was already coughing and laughing. One hand slapped the table, and the other hand slapped his thigh. He was laughing so hard that his stomach hurt.
Gloomily wiping his face, Ling Jian asked, "Young Master, what exactly happened? Is it worth it to be so funny? I just took a bath yesterday. Bathing is the most harmful thing. Look at my face and body! "
Ling Tian could not stop laughing as he pointed at the note, "Take a look for yourself!"
Ling Jian grabbed the note in bewilderment. On it were 'Brother Pomegranate', 'Brother Third Brother-in-law', 'Brother Dead', 'Brother Die', 'Brother Fourth Brother-in-law' … These kinds of strange names were immediately reflected in Ling Jian's eyes. After a long while, he suddenly hugged his stomach and laughed loudly. He laughed so hard that his entire body twitched. Tears flowed out from his eyes as he curled up into a ball. He was laughing even more crazily than Ling Tian.
Li Xue, who was beside Ling Tian, took a look and could not help but giggle. She sighed, "This official is really … too much of a rapist."
"Xiao family actually sent Second Master Xiao FengYang this time. He had just escaped, but he actually returned on his own accord. But with his character, he shouldn't be like this. If he is an insider, his attitude is too provocative!" Ling Tian laughed as he looked at another note. "Other than the ordinary attendants and guards, there are also six top-notch experts. They should be people from Above Heavens. "
"People from Above Heavens …" Ling Jian stopped laughing as an intense battle intent shot out from his eyes.
Li Xue and Ling Tian looked at each other with a 'as expected' smile in their eyes.
"Ah Xue, go and take a look at Chen 'er. This lass insists on personally embroidering the first flag of the Divine Prefecture Empire. She is truly stubborn. Can't she just leave such trivial matters to the servants?!" Ling Tian shook his head with an unconcealable look of satisfaction on his face.
"Actually, I also want to, but …" Li Xue looked at him with clear eyes, "I will never fight with Ling Chen for anything. As a woman, I must love someone wholeheartedly without any reservations! This is something that only Ling Chen can do. I am inferior to her. "Her last sentence was said in an extremely soft voice. Even with Ling Tian's powerful inner qi, he could only barely hear it.
When Ling Tian raised his head, Li Xue had already left.
Ling Tian couldn't help but be stunned.
Yu BingYan had her father, Shui QianRou had her parents, Xiao YanXue had her relatives, Princess JiaoYue had her mother and relatives. Even though Li Xue didn't have any relatives in this life, she still had relatives from her previous life in her heart. She still had Ling Tian from her previous life! Only Ling Chen, only Ling Chen, only had him in her world! In the wee hours of the morning, this lonely girl, her entire world, all of her life, there was only one. Ling Tian!
Ling Tian suddenly felt a warm feeling in his heart. He also felt a little sour as he fell into a daze. Ling Tian sighed and looked at Ling Jian. "Ah Jian, the brothers are back. Let's go and see what kind of surprise these bandits brought us."
Ling Jian's eyes lit up. "Alright!"
Smoky Thea Tower.
Even now, the layout that Ling Tian had personally set up was still maintained. However, in the current world, the original Ximen Family, Nangong family, and Yang Family had all become old flowers of the past. They had long disappeared in the dust of time. Today, Ling Tian and Ling Jian felt as though the sea had turned into mulberry fields when they returned to the Smoky Thea Tower.
It was currently noon.
Most of the important guests from all over the world were having their meals in their own pavilions. However, there were also many who came to the main hall for the liveliness. Naturally, there were also many who had ulterior motives.
For example …
At the table to the east, there were a few youths dressed in luxurious robes. Their faces were filled with excitement as they whispered into each other's ears. The moment Ling Tian and Ling Jian saw these youths, they couldn't help but reveal a smile on their faces, a smile that came from the bottom of their hearts!
Far away, at the western table, there were a total of seven people. Six of them were dressed in grey and had cold expressions. There was also a young lady dressed in blue. However, although this young lady looked as cold as ice and was exceptionally beautiful, the frost on her face was too thick. Even when the people at the same table spoke to her, she would ignore them coldly. She was just like a piece of ice from the Ninth Realm Mysterious Jade.
Ling Tian couldn't help but glance at Ling Jian beside him, who was also like a piece of ice. He smiled in his heart and thought to himself that these two were really similar. One ice, one jade, they could be considered a perfect match!
Other than these two tables, there were another five to six tables eating quietly. From the looks of their robes, they were all from different places. Those who were able to reserve a table in the Smoky Thea Tower were all tycoons of a region.
Tian and Jian exchanged a glance and stepped into the hall at the same time.
In an instant, over twenty gazes landed on the two of them. The two of them turned a blind eye to it and casually found a table to sit down with an indifferent expression.
The youths in luxurious robes at the eastern table suddenly had their eyes blazing with passion. One of them couldn't help but stand up and open his mouth to speak. However, he was viciously stomped on by another person under the table, causing him to feel a wave of pain. He swallowed the words he wanted to say and sat back down obediently.
As for the six youths at the western table, they looked at Ling Tian and Ling Jian with clear hostility in their eyes. It was as though they were still filled with suspicion. An old man in the middle muttered to himself, "Don't tell me one of them is Ling Tian? He just arrived in Sky Bearing and he already met this person? It can't be so coincidental right?! "The expressions of the other youths changed.
The old man frowned and quickly transmitted a message, "Test him!" The other six youths didn't say anything and only nodded slowly.
The waiter of the Smoky Thea Tower hurried over and asked respectfully, "What would this guest like to eat?"
Ling Jian coldly replied, "Bring a few specialties and two jugs of wine." The waiter agreed and left.
All of a sudden, a 'pa' sound could be heard and one of the youths who was eating in the middle suddenly cried out in pain. He covered his mouth with his hands and blood flowed out from the gaps between his hands. Lowering his head, he spat out a tooth. At the same time, half of a chopstick was also spat out.
Among the six people at the western table, a chubby middle-aged man stood up with a face full of anger. He pointed at the man and scolded, "Damn you! Just eat! What are you looking at with your sneaky eyes for? Despicable things! "While he was scolding, his eyes were secretly looking at Ling Tian and Ling Tian. It was obvious that he was extremely wary of the two of them.
That person's face was filled with anger and the others at the same table also stood up. Looking at the plump man who spoke, one of them said angrily, "You're talking about that despicable person! We've never had any enmity with each other and yet you were so vicious in your actions. Now, you're even insulting him. What's the meaning of this?! "
The plump man's face was filled with anger as he scolded, "No enmity? Why was that fellow staring at my sister? His sneaky eyes obviously didn't have good intentions! He's still a despicable person. Is it wrong for this daddy to teach him a lesson?! "
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the plump man was purposely trying to pick a fight. You're eating in public and you can't even let others take a look at you? Everyone has a love for beauty. Using such a reason to pick a fight, he's obviously trying to pick a fight!
Ling Tian looked on expressionlessly and whispered, "That person didn't even look at her. It's that plump man who's purposely trying to pick a fight. His target should be us." Ling Jian had already noticed it. While the two tables were facing each other, most of the people at the western table were paying attention to him.
"It seems like they're suspecting young noble's identity." Ling Jian whispered.
"I came out with my original appearance and didn't intend to hide anything. What's there to suspect?" Ling Tian sneered and said, "It's true that they want to use this opportunity to probe my background. These few people should be the so-called experts that Above Heavens sent over this time. "
Ling Jian's eyes flickered and he said, "Only that old man in the middle seems to have some ability. As for the rest, they're not even worth a mention."
Ling Tian nodded his head slightly and didn't say anything.
The injured man was extremely sullen and he said angrily, "Why are you so unreasonable? When did I look at her when I was having my meal? Besides, although this lady is beautiful, but … "He didn't finish his sentence. It was obvious that he was trying to say that although the lady was beautiful, she was too cold. Just looking at her would make him shiver. How could he be interested in looking at her?
The fat man frowned and said fiercely, "What do you mean by that, you lowly piece of trash? How dare you say that my sister isn't beautiful? Are you f * cking courting death? "
Among the few youths at the eastern table, a bearded youth stood up and said in a rough voice, "Today's matter is really strange. I've seen unreasonable people before, but I've never seen such an unreasonable person! First, he slandered the other party for looking at his sister. Then, the other party said that his sister was ugly and was as cold as ice. After saying that he wasn't interested, he blamed the other party for having poor taste. Tsk tsk, this big brother is really interesting. It's probably because no one wants his sister and she can't get married, that's why he's causing trouble. He wants to quickly send this money-losing thing away and wants to extort the betrothal money from the other party. Otherwise, why would he be so overbearing? "
"That's right, that's right." The other youths also joined in the commotion. They were originally lawless people and had always treated the heavens as the boss and the sword as the second in command. How could they care about anything else? Now that Ling Tian and Ling Jian were present and they were in the Smoky Thea Tower, they were naturally confident. Not to mention that they didn't know that these people were from Above Heavens, they would probably cause even more trouble if they knew. Thus, their words were naturally as unpleasant as they could be. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters.
