THE LING TIAN LEGEND
episode 125

Yang Kong Qun sighed heavily as he asked, “What do you want?”

Ling Tian smiled happily, “Simple, this young noble bodyguard is injured and needs a healer to take care of him. My teacher had come a long way and was tired. In addition to being startled by You Yangs, he will need some therapeutic medicine. This young noble has a lot of things to do and because of your problems, I have to wait all afternoon! The Yang family must also show some courtesy; how about giving us ten thousand taels of silver as compensation. This young noble should also be generous and won't argue with you anymore.” Ling Tian looked full of sincerity as he spoke; even sighing to himself, as if he was surprised by his own generosity.

Seeing Ling Tian's shameless expression, all the members of the Yang family revealed murderous gazes, and stared at the dagger at him. As long as Yang KongQun gave the order, they would all immediately throw themselves forward, beating the intolerable person to a pulp.

Yang Kong Qun took a deep breath slowly, suppressing the boiling blood caused by his anger at Ling Tian. Right now, the Yang family was facing internal and external conflicts; it was definitely not advisable to provoke their old enemy, the Ling Family! If they did, it would be the same as provoking the NanGong Family, Ling, Wang and Imperial! Even if the problem could be solved, Yangs would also end up being destroyed! Since this was only a few thousand taels of silver, they could afford it; when they recovered in the future, then he would slowly take care of this child! Ling Tian will always be at Sky Bearing — it's not like he can grow wings and fly!

Moreover, this Ling Tian child had chosen the right time to take advantage of his weakness. Clearly, Ling Tian had already analyzed the situation. If Yang Kong Qun did not want his family to weaken and collapse, then this complaint should be swallowed up and not expelled!

“Because that's the case, this old man will pay twenty thousand taels of silver and we will let the problem pass you by, okay?” After Yang KongQun made his decision, his troubled heart regained its calm and he spoke in a flat tone.

Whatever the case may be, he ended up dispelling his suspicions about the Ling Family. Although he had investigated the Ling Family, deep down, he did not want this matter to be related to them. It just means that they have internal and external problems to solve. His carefully crafted plan would end up flowing like a spring river flowing east. After all, this was only twenty thousand taels of silver!

The moment his words were spoken, the surrounding people had a huge change in expression!

Everyone thought that Yang Kong Qun would definitely not accept the unreasonable requirements set by Ling Tian. The Yang family guards had already taken out weapons from their scabbards and were filled with killing intent; the people on Ling's side had also long clasped weapons in their hands. The people who were on the city walls were also waiting for a good show; who knew that Yang KongQun would end up with such a weak finish?

Even Ling Tian himself thought that this was beyond his expectations; to think that this ingenious fellow knew how to survive! What a cunning figure of his generation!

Ling Tian, however, laughed out loud, “Senior takes this too seriously! Junior's just pulling your leg. Since Grandpa Yang has suggested a suitable compensation, if junior refuses, then it won't show your face! As the old saying goes, ‘If Elder gives something, Junior doesn't dare to refuse’. Thus, this Ling Tian junior will disrespect you if I refuse! These twenty thousand taels of silver were not a small amount, enough for this young noble to visit Thea Smoky Tower for the pleasure of a few nights. Therefore, I really have to thank you, this junior really has a lot of fate with you! Ha ha ha...”.

Ling Tian looked overjoyed, to the point that he changed the way he spoke to Yang Kong Qun. Before that, Yang Kong Qun the misty old man or the old boy, such derogatory comments. But in an instant, it turned into Senior Yang and Grandpa Yang. This 180-degree change in expression made others gaped in astonishment. In the blink of an eye, she became extremely warm and close to Yang Kong Qun, her face full of light, as if she could not help but hold the happiness in her heart.

The crowd all sighed in astonishment: For this Young Noble Ling who has no profession as an actor, it is a complete waste of good talent!

After receiving the banknote that Yang Lei passed by with gritted teeth, Ling Tian slapped the banknote onto his finger in a voice of ‘pa’; his face was full of happiness as he said, “Twenty thousand taels, he said, not less than one tael. Thank you, Elder Yang!” He cupped his hands together, and in the midst of laughing out loud, saddled his dark horse and left. The carriage behind him also departed slowly and the Ling Family guards also mounted their horses and galloped, their faces beaming with happiness!

Inside the Yang Family courtyard, over a hundred men wore white bandages on their foreheads. Some wore bandages on their arms, fresh blood continuously seeping from the white cloth. Furthermore, people were constantly being brought in and one of them was the Chief Servant, Yang Yun.

Butler's head Yang was still unconscious, his mouth sunken inwards. It was clear that all of his teeth were plucked by someone, with at least seven to eight of his ribs broken. However, she is not in a life-threatening scenario and will be able to sustain her small life. Most of those injured were the same, some minor injuries and some heavy injuries, but none were in danger of dying. The people acting against them seemed to be very considerate.

Yang KongQun, Yang Lei, Yang Zhen, as well as NanGong Yu, were all standing on the stone steps of the inner courtyard, all with different expressions.

Yang Lei and Yang Zhen had angry expressions, the veins on their heads jumped up and grinding sounds came out of their mouths. Yet Yang Kong Qun, looked indifferent, as if he had other thoughts.

“Dad, I don't understand why you're going to withdraw willingly just like that! Since we want to investigate the Ling Family and Ling Tian, why are you deploying the lowest ranked guards? This time, if we had some experts on the scene, how would our Yang Family people be beaten to this extent and further submit to such humiliation! Yang Lei was bluffing. Right now, he wanted to cut Ling Tian into thousands of pieces!

“Shameful! We went to investigate, not to fight! We only went to confirm our suspicions; if we were to bring along our experts, would that still be an investigation? If, in the worst case scenario, we end up beating that child Ling Tian to death or end up crippling him? How do we fix the scenario? Right now, the Yang family is very unstable and you want to invite the anger of the Ling Family as well? This old man ordered these people to be beaten up! If Ling Tian did not beat them up and solemnly allowed them to search for the carriage, or if he was not there directly, then that meant trouble! If that was the case, then the Ling family would definitely be at the top of the list! However, since he is acting in accordance with his arrogant and despotic self, then we should now hide and look at the situation further!

“Oh? If that was the case, did Family Head Yang think that the Ling Family was the prime suspect in my brother's murder? Is this whole issue regulated by the Ling Family?” NanGong Yu calmly spoke. However, an invisible glint of ridicule appeared in the pupils of his eyes.

“I can't be sure at this time!” Yang Kong Qun replied carefully, “However, the suspicion towards them has not gone away. This old man felt that Ling Tian's son was hiding some secrets that I could not know. ”

“Oh!” NanGong Yu let out a voice full of hidden understanding and did not speak any further. However, deep down, he endlessly cursed, ‘You old fox, keep playing your tricks and lies! Look who's gonna believe you!’

The Nan Gong Family.

NanGong TianLong trembled from head to toe, as a thin sheet of paper fell from his hand and floated to the ground. For many years now, the hand of this head of the NanGong family had never been unstable, until now he had released the paper in his hand. At that very instant, the imposing ruler of South Zheng, the head of the NanGong family, seemed to have turned into a life-size statue of his — strong stature seemingly stiffened. The wrinkles on his face also seemed clearer at this moment!

Madam NanGong looked at her husband in bewilderment as she leaned over to pick up the letter sent by the pigeon. Only he, other than the head of the family himself, dared to read the secret letters sent.

“Lyrics!!!” A scream of agony rang out and Madame NanGong felt as if her heart had been forcefully plucked out at this moment! In the letter was her daughter's neat and elegant handwriting. His words are few, meaning clear. This was just a piece of paper; but to Madame NanGong, it was like a thunderstorm on a clear day! His emotions ran amok instantly!

The woman who was not inferior to the man in terms of ability, Madame NanGong, suddenly felt her vision turn black. At the same time, he lost his mind. His face was as white as snow and his body was suddenly thrown backwards as he fainted!

“Wife!” NanGong TianLong carried his fainted wife into his arms, desperately calling out to him.

After quite some time, Madam NanGong finally regained her senses. The scene of NanGong Le, from childhood to his present age, flashed piece by piece in his eyes. Even though his son was stubborn and unruly, immoral and behaved like silk, in his heart, he was still his beloved beloved whom he had held for almost ten months! However, this piece of paper seemed to have consumed twenty years of blood, sweat, and tears!

“Lyrics! My Le’er!!…” Lady NanGong let out a heart-wrenching scream of despair, her mind completely confused. He suddenly felt as if his life on this Earth had lost all meaning! Half of his soul seemed to have left his body, disappearing into the sky.

“Puah ..” Lady NanGong suddenly opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. Her clean white clothes were now stained with red spots, it was the heartbroken blood of a caring mother! She then could not resist the mental pressure and fainted once again into her husband's embrace, her eyes tightly shut. It was as if he did not want to wake up and did not want to face this cruel news head on …

“Le’er .. Le’er!.” There was a moment of peace and quiet before NanGong TianLong's stiff body began to tremble once more. Hugging his wife's unconscious body tightly, two streams of tears formed, flowing down his face! Suddenly, he jerked his head upwards, ruthlessly gazing to the north, where the Sky Pads Kingdom was, before letting out a bestial growl from within him, “Yang — Kong — Qun!!!” His tone was low, only heard by himself and his wife, but filled with hatred to the bone. This, they are both clear about it.

News of NanGong Le's death spread faster than the wind! Not even a day had passed and every great power in the Heavenly Star Continent had obtained this news. Every leader in charge of a great power simultaneously thought of these two words after receiving the news: An opportunity!
