Ling Chen quickly released the sparrow hawk and happily sat beside Ling Tian. Her jade-like hands gently massaged Ling Tian's shoulders. Her beautiful face was still flushed from the battle. She had already heard from Ling Tian that this person was a first-rate expert. Tonight, she was actually able to fight him to a draw. Moreover, she had even fought one against two. Ling Chen was somewhat excited.
Seeing Ling Chen's expression that was waiting for praise, Ling Tian couldn't help but laugh. However, he knew that now was definitely not the time to laugh. Ling Chen's adaptability to the enemy was still very flawed. Although she didn't show any signs of defeat in tonight's battle, Ling Tian, who was well aware of Ling Chen's strength, knew that Ling Chen was already at a disadvantage. It wasn't a matter of cultivation or moves. In fact, the sword moves that Ling Tian had imparted to him were far more exquisite than the black-robed man's.
Ling Chen's disadvantage was completely caused by her lack of experience. If Ling Tian praised her now, it would be extremely detrimental to Ling Chen's future growth.
Seeing Ling Tian looking at her with a sullen expression, Ling Chen's originally happy expression slowly disappeared. She looked at Ling Tian apprehensively, not knowing what to do for a moment.
"Are you very happy? You're just a sixteen or seventeen year old girl, yet you're actually able to compete with a first-rate expert and not be at a disadvantage. Aren't you a bit complacent? "Looking at Ling Chen, Ling Tian's expression was somewhat cold.
"Uh …" Ling Chen once again stole a glance at Ling Tian's expression. She couldn't help but deeply lower her head. Her long eyelashes flickered, and the rims of her eyes reddened.
"That move of yours, Zhonggong Rapid Advance, was the timing right? If you had made your move a little later, you would have immediately gained the absolute advantage. However, you were greedy and rash. If that black-clothed man had dealt with it properly, you would have already been defeated or even injured. "
"There's also the black-clothed man's move that's similar to 'Lao Xue'. I've taught you how to break this move, but have you used it? If it wasn't for the fact that your sword moves were far more exquisite than theirs, it would have been difficult for you to escape unscathed today. Once you fight for a long time, you'll get used to your moves. At that time, it'll be terrible! "Ling Tian lectured in a low voice. Seeing Ling Chen on the verge of tears, Ling Tian also felt that his words were a bit harsh, but there was no other way. If he couldn't make Ling Chen remember this lesson, when they fought with these strong enemies in the future, he was afraid that they would suffer a great loss.
Shedding some tears today was better than shedding blood in the future!
Ling Chen stood with her hands by her side, not daring to speak.
Ling Tian's tone softened and he said, "Don't think too much about it. These problems only appeared because you didn't have enough experience. In the future, when you're more experienced, they will disappear."
Ling Chen wiped her eyes and sniffled, "Yes, Young Master. Chen 'er knows her mistake."
Ling Tian sighed. He had already said what he wanted to say. With Ling Chen's intelligence, she would surely understand his meaning. Pulling her into his arms, he said softly, "You must remember, when a true expert fights with an enemy, they won't think of a move to break it after seeing the enemy's move. When you've practiced your martial arts until it's like a melon rolling off a melon, you don't need to think about it. Your hand will naturally execute the corresponding move. This kind of feeling, I call it the feeling of touch! In other words, it's the instinct of a martial artist! For an ordinary person, the speed of their thoughts, their hands and feet can't keep up. But for a martial artist, the speed of their hands and feet must surpass the speed of their thoughts. If you wait until you understand everything before you react, then I'm afraid your life will already be in the hands of the enemy! But after you've grasped this instinct, even if you can't win, you'll still be able to hold your own. You won't have to worry about your life! "
Ling Chen's eyes were still filled with tears, but she had already sunk into deep thought, silently comprehending the meaning behind Ling Tian's words. Her petite body nestled in Ling Tian's arms, her head gently resting on Ling Tian's chest. A pair of jade arms had unknowingly wrapped around Ling Tian's waist …
Ling Tian lovingly stroked Ling Chen's silky hair, a rare gentle smile appearing on his lips. In the room, where lightning flashed and thunder roared, in the blink of an eye, it was filled with warmth. The two of them didn't make a sound. Although the night was deep, they didn't feel sleepy at all. The flame of the oil lamp on the table danced merrily in the gauze cage, exploding with a pop sound, instantly adding some joy to the room …
For the next two days, Ling Tian brought the cross-dressing Ling Chen out of the residence at dawn. Everyone knew that Young Master Ling had gone to the Imperial Palace. In reality, these two days, Ling Tian had been outside the city feeding Ling Chen, Feng Yun Lei, Dian Chi and the others moves, further increasing their strength. Inside the Imperial Palace, the smell of alcohol filled the air, but in the courtyard of the Ling House, sword qi filled the air.
After Ling Chen's battle that night, the next day, she informed Feng Yun Lei, Dian Chi and the others of the result, causing the five of them to be greatly affected! Right now, they were still not Ling Chen's match, but that black-clothed man was actually able to gain the upper hand against Ling Chen! When they heard this news, the five of them were all enraged. These few days, everyone had been training their swordsmanship to the point where they couldn't even move a finger. Only then did they give up unwillingly.
Ling Tian was also not stingy with his battle experience and imparted some of his exquisite moves to them. During the training, although the few of them were complaining incessantly, they also worked harder and harder. Seeing the momentum of their training, Ling Tian was slightly relieved.
As for Jade Princess Yu BingYan and Wei XuanXuan, after that day, they didn't see Ling Tian in the backyard the next day, so they decided to go to the front of the hall. After Yu BingYan changed her appearance, she didn't stand out at all. However, Wei XuanXuan couldn't do it. When the silkpants saw the sudden appearance of an outstanding beauty, they all surrounded her to curry favor. This was especially so for the three Yang Family brothers, Nangong Lok, Wang Bo and the rest. The way they looked at Wei XuanXuan was as though they wanted to swallow her whole! This caused this aloof beauty to be extremely vexed.
On the second day, they still didn't see Ling Tian, causing the two ladies to be greatly disappointed. Wei XuanXuan originally didn't want to participate in this troublesome event on the third day, but Yu BingYan was determined to find Ling Tian and become his disciple. Thus, she forcefully dragged her into the front of the hall.
When the beauties appeared once again, the silkpants were full of energy, jumping up and down in front of the two ladies as though they were presenting treasures. The two ladies, who were already disappointed that they didn't see Ling Tian, hurriedly found an excuse to leave.
On the way back to the Wei Residence, the two ladies were slightly depressed. Especially Yu BingYan, who was extremely suspicious. This fellow had the title of silkpants, yet he didn't participate in such an event. Isn't he a little unworthy of the title of 'silkpants'? However, on the other hand, she felt relieved. This fellow didn't even dare to participate in the event that the Emperor personally ordered. From this, it can be seen that his arrogance has reached an extreme!
Thinking up to this point, Yu BingYan suddenly felt her depressed mood lighten up, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Wei XuanXuan, who was suffering from the harassment of the silkpants, was feeling depressed and pouting. When she saw Yu BingYan laughing, she couldn't help but feel puzzled and asked, "Younger sister, what's wrong?"
Yu BingYan smiled and said, "I'm thinking that that fellow is really interesting. He's obviously a person with great intelligence, and it's not easy for him to keep a low profile. Yet, he did the exact opposite and was so high-profile that it reached the heavens. However, no one suspected him, and they only thought that he was a tyrannical silkpants. He actually didn't show up for the event that the Emperor personally organized for two consecutive days. Even so, there were only a few people who scolded him. I'm really curious, how did he manage to pretend all these years? "
Speaking of this matter, Wei XuanXuan also laughed. Thinking about how she hated this name in the past, she couldn't help but say, "Weirdo!"
"Hehe, elder sister XuanXuan, why don't we pay a visit to this weirdo tomorrow?" Yu BingYan's eyes lit up as she smiled.
