“Reporting to the crown prince, General ZhenNan is here and waiting for you near the door.”
“Oh, alright.” Wei ChengPing calmed himself down, his face returning to a respectful and friendly appearance. Anyone who saw his appearance now would definitely feel a sense of warmth. Wei ChengPing now looked like someone who could be completely trusted and trusted.
Wei ChengPing then walked towards the entrance of the crown prince's palace to receive his guests.
In the morning, Ling Tian still did not care about his image as he walked out of their room while stretching his body lazily. At the same time, he even evaporated into the sky.
In the small courtyard, XueLeng hugged her sword and leaned against the wine rack. His eyes closed as if he were asleep.
Yesterday night, XueLeng was toyed with by Ling Tian's three bricks and dragged into a bloody battle. It made XueLeng exhausted from her heart, body, and inner strength. Surrounded by the enemy alone, facing the attacks of many experts with deaths so close to him. Until now, XueLeng still felt a lingering fear in his heart.
After returning to Ling Tian's courtyard with great difficulty, XueLeng was already completely exhausted. XueFei then helped her circulate her inner Qi for two whole hours. Only after recovering his Inner Qi did XueLeng feel a little better. But until now, he still looked like he was in a terrible condition.
“Eh, brother XueLeng, you wake up early.” Ling Tian yawned and walked towards XueLeng while stretching his back.
“Mm.” XueLeng looked at Ling Tian for a moment before closing her eyes again. XueLeng was also confused about the strength of the Ling family. When XueFei came out to take a look in the morning, he said that every family in the Sky Bearing Empire was searched; even the houses of government officials were not much different. However, the Ling family was still calm, as if they were unaware of the matter!
This made XueLeng a little surprised. Although he did not think that NanGong Le was killed by the Ling family, the Ling family was the Yang family's greatest enemy on the surface. Thus, the Ling family should be the one with the greatest suspicion. However, why did the Yang family search every single house except the Ling family?
As the door opened with a gentle creak, Yu BingYan walked out of the house dressed neatly. Seeing Ling Tian already in the courtyard, her beautiful eyes sparkled happily. For him to see it, the person who cared so much for him, the first thing in the morning, it was a form of happiness that made Yu BingYan feel very satisfied!
“Hehe, beautiful eyes and different features; face like lotus and eyebrows like willow tree. Little sister, you forgot to wear your disguise today and you shine with beauty. ” Ling Tian looked at his tanned face and commented.
“Ah? Really?” Yu BingYan was shocked! Don't tell me?? He turned around quickly and ran to the bedroom. Halfway to the bedroom, he suddenly regained his senses and turned around angrily, “Tian’ge only knows how to lie. I just applied face hiding powder and stared at the mirror for a long time.”
With a smile that didn't seem like a smile, Ling Tian said, “Daughter, so you have to hide your appearance every day? Does that mean you will wash it before going to bed? If that's the case, this little brother doesn't mind hiding on the roof for one night to see your true appearance! ”
Yu BingYan giggled, “I won't tell a villain like you.”
Ling Tian laughed and wanted to tease him further. However, a female servant walks over, “Young Master, Old Lady is looking for your presence.”
Ling Tian admitted and said to Yu BingYan, “Yan’er, don't run around. This big brother will teach you to paint when I get back. ”
Yu BingYan replied with ‘Mmm’ while showing a smile.
“Head of the pig, while I approached you initially because I wanted to learn to paint, this is no longer the case. As long as I can see you every day, it'll be fine. Whether I learn to paint or not, it doesn't matter anymore. As long as I'm at your house, I'll never get out. But... I don't have much time left and every extra second I see you will be a blessing!”
Yu BingYan looked behind Ling Tian; while she had a wide and beautiful smile, tears began to fill her eyelids …
“You sent someone to kill NanGong Le, right?” After Old Madam Ling saw Ling Tian, she dispersed everyone around her and got into the main topic.
Old Madam Ling was in good spirits, with her face flaming red from being healthy. In this past decade, Ling Tian had used his Inner Qi to match the bodies of Duke Ling, Old Madam Ling, his parents and Lord Qin. (Of course, his grandfather and parents were not aware of this problem. The way Ling Xiao and Ling Zhan were so careless had to be thoroughly praised, unaware of the matter at all. As for Chu Ting’er, he did not know the slightest bit of martial arts and thus did not know of it either.) While they were all getting older, their bodies seemed to be growing healthier, looking as if they could live for another 20 to 30 years.
Ling Tian laughed, “Grandmother, sometimes I suspect you are secretly following me. Why do you know everything I do?”
“Hmph, little brat, I wonder from whom you learned all this — a belly full of bad water and a head full of evil plans! The old lady here still felt very strange; your grandfather and father were straightforward and simple-minded people and the Ling family never seemed to have a wise figure before. Why is there a freak like you in this generation?” Old Madam Ling scolded while laughing.
Stretching her neck comfortably, Old Lady Ling turned around and said, “But since I saw you, your grandmother can also be more relaxed. These years have been exhausting! Haiz, I can't count on your grandfather or father for anything!”
Ling Tian laughed, “Grandfather and father are both straightforward and kind men! Since when has anyone questioned the tastes of grandmothers and mothers?! As for the Ling family, it was indeed difficult for granny to run everything by herself for so many years. But, grandfather and father couldn't help much so grandma had to have a bigger burden. But, grandma does more work because you are much more capable, do it without complaining!”
While the Ling family looked prosperous, in fact danger was everywhere. In order to let the Ling family have a greater influence in the Sky Bear Empire, Old Lady Ling used all her means and plans to grow the Ling family into one of the Eight Great Families. Everything in the family was run by Old Lady Ling alone. After all these years, he was starting to feel tired.
Hearing the attentive words from her grandson, Old Lady Ling sighed in satisfaction, “Good if you know. Haiz, not only the fact that your grandfather and father could not help.
Old Madam Ling then shook her head while sighing as she said sadly, “Initially, your mother, Chu Ting’er, is also a smart and meticulous person. She is the person I intend for the groom to be my successor. If not for your looks, the Ling family would probably have taken the same path as making women the heads.”
Ling Tian laughed, “Same path? Grandma, the Ling family has always been run by women?”
“Hmph!” Old Madam Ling rolled her eyes at Ling Tian, “That's right; before we became one of the Eight Great Families, we weak women had always been the ones to sustain the family. This has become a tradition of our Ling family!” His face then flushed red as he said, “Take your grandfather for example, there is only me, your grandmother. As for your father, there's only your mother. Let me tell you; before the two of them, many generations of our ancestors only had one wife! The best tradition of such straightforward men is that they are all cursed men!”
Ling Tian's eyes widened in shock as he also stopped massaging his grandmother involuntarily. He never expected the Ling family to have such a noble tradition! Only after a while did he laugh out loud, laughing until his tears flowed.
Ancestors of our Ling family, this is really hard on all of you!
“What are you laughing at? If you don't have any abilities and continue to be useless, I'll also find a daughter-in-law to control you! Old Madam Ling reprimanded angrily.
Ling Tian laughed until his body stiffened. After a while, she finally managed to control herself, “Grandmother, rest assured! If I, Ling Tian, cannot even handle my own wife and concubine, I would rather buy a piece of tofu to kill myself. ”
Old Madam Ling then became angry and pinched her ear, “So you tried to say that your grandfather and father had to buy tofu to kill themselves? Hmph!”
Ling Tian grimaced in pain as he begged for mercy, “Grandmother, argh ... gentler. I mean, there are no more heroines like you and grandma anymore. Where grandchildren can find such a capable woman. My father and grandfather were the most fortunate. Your grandson will be satisfied if I can find someone like you both to warm my sheets. Moreover, how could grandfather and father be said to be useless? They're just useless at home, right?!”
“It's more like that!” Old Madam Ling let go of her ears in satisfaction and sat down.
“Haha, grandma, I think the ancestors of the Ling family made a rule that their descendants should only have one wife. So, this isn't the problem. ” Ling Tian laugh.
“Hmph, as long as you can keep an eye on your wife, no one will say anything if you can find a hundred of them. As long as your body can accept it, this old lady is still waiting to have a great-granddaughter.” Old Madam Ling trembled.
Ling Tian laughed, “I'm not so reckless.”
“Despite the slight rush for you to kill NanGong Le this time, it is a big action.” After quite a deviation, Old Madam Ling returned to the main topic.
Ling Tian smiled, “Grandmother also thought that it was a big act?”
“Little boy, don't underestimate your grandmother. Do you think I can't see through your little trick? Old Madam Ling patted her back angrily, “NanGong Le is just a descendant of silk pants; even in the NanGong family, she is an insignificant character. It doesn't matter even if a hundred of him die. But the problem is that the time you choose to do so, accurately selects the most critical time. With the accurate timing you choose, it will definitely create a huge storm. ”
Ling Tian's face became solemn; he never imagined that his grandmother would be able to determine the most important part of his plan with just the news of NanGong Le's death! Age brings wisdom!
“NanGong Le died under the protection of the Yang family and it happened by chance after they fixed the marriage. If it was any other time, the Yang and NanGong families would be fighting. Then, after the Yang family did something in the Sky Bearing Empire, the problem would be solved. But now, your idea is too sneaky. The time you choose combines this problem with the situation on the continent, making NanGong Le famous after his death and become an important person on the continent. ”
