THE LING TIAN LEGEND
episode 127

On the other hand, Xiao YanXue snorted sweetly, seemingly dissatisfied with how her grandfather continued to name the famous silk pants with a solemn expression. The only thing that is commendable about her is the fact that she has a good grandmother as well as a good mother. In their family, which one of the men really stood out?

Xiao FengHan simply laughed as he pinched YanXue's nose lightly, saying, “Little girl, don't be angry. Don't forget, you are a gambling bet between our two families, hahaha.”.

His face flushed hearing this comment. Xiao YanXue could not help but shout in embarrassment, “Grandfather, you are already at such an age but you are still very childish. Granny Ling was a woman of her caliber that should be respected. But, she had made the mistake of thinking too highly of her grandson and thinking too lowly of me! Hmph, I can guarantee that, for this gambling match, our Xiao Family will not lose. You can rest assured and wait to receive half of the Ling Family's wealth, this is more worth seeing!

Xiao FengHan laughed out loud.

The crowd cupped their fists and said goodbye. Under Xiao FengYang's orders, hundreds of them rode onto their horses at the same time. All the horses neighed in unison as the people climbed them, threw their manes and galloped!

The Sky Bearing Empire! My Xiao family, will come! All the rain and wind will gather in the Sky Bearing, so how can our Xiao Family be absent?

Just as every great power on the continent was preparing themselves anxiously by recruiting and deploying soldiers, the Ling Sky Bearing Family, which was located in the middle of the vortex, was, actually holding a welcoming dinner for the great Lord Qin.

At the party, Grandpa Ling — as usual — lectured Ling Tian for failing to live up to expectations. After that, Grandpa Ling continued to grumble to Master Qin, complaining about Ling Tian's mischievous behavior over the past few years and how Ling Tian had not improved. Grandfather Ling finally begged Master Qin to further educate Ling Tian, as he was the only teacher who was willing to accept Ling Tian, as well, and that he had to make Ling Tian see a mistake in his way, so that Ling Tian could change. He was allowed to punch and scold Ling Tian as he wished, as long as Ling Tian still had a breath of life.

While Grandpa Ling was venting her frustration, Ling Tian simply lowered his head, not daring to let out a sound. As for her mother, Chu Ting’er, her face was full of guilt as she lowered her head, not even daring to eat; it was as if her face had been completely discarded by her silk-clothed son. Sitting to the side, Ling Xiao initially expressed his agreement and even wanted to add his own thoughts. But with a ‘penetrating’ gaze from his wife, this great general of Sky Bearing suddenly ran out of tongue. It seemed like this was a fear passed down on the people of the Ling Family …

Master Qin had an expression as if he wanted to laugh but could not. Teach her? Stop joking with me! Ten years ago, I had nothing left to teach him. It's more like he's teaching me! With a mouth full of wine, he choked until his face flushed red but was unable to swallow it, afraid he would spit it back out and humiliate himself.

The only person who understood everything, Old Madam Ling, rolled her eyes. He initially looked at Grandpa Ling with eyes that were between laughter and anger. But seeing the old man spewing out endlessly, he finally exploded, “You damned old man, have you finished talking? We were eating, why are you talking so much? Seeing that nothing is stopping you, you are getting stronger, huh? This is a welcoming party for Master Qin! Shut up and eat!”

Grandfather Ling seemed to have lost the ability to speak and could only resentfully lift his cup, chugging at the wine at once. His larynx suddenly seemed to be locked, unable to even speak a word.

After eating, Master Qin put on a stern expression, ordering Ling Tian to follow him into his courtyard as if he was going to give the latter some clothes. He flicked his sleeve and bluffed, glaring at Ling Tian. Grandfather Ling watched in satisfaction at the side, before clasping his hands behind his back and walking back to his study, waiting for the good news from Master Qin.

The duo barely stepped into the courtyard before Master Qin lost control of himself. His snow-white beard trembled and his wrinkled old face warped into something resembling a blossoming flower as his serious self just a moment ago disappeared completely. “Ling dearest Young Noble, your pretext is the best! This old me regretted not staying here for the past three years, missing so many entertaining shows! ”

Ling Tian also laughed in response, “Master, there is no need to feel regret. As long as you stay here, I can assure you that what will happen next will be more interesting! His face now showed a mischievous expression as he continued, “Striking from the front, how can it defeat the euphoria of sneaking up on someone and killing them? Letting your enemy die without knowing who the mastermind is, being depressed to the point of vomiting blood, isn't that more efficient! Rather than just hiding in a secret place and controlling the scene from behind, being someone useless yet capable of summoning the wind and summoning the rain, that was what I was after! Everyone under the sky probably thought they knew me, but who actually knew me! Letting my enemies die under confusion and depression, is my greatest joy!

Ling Tian grinned, “Both father and son have fallen into my trap long ago. Right now I have their life in the palm of my hand and can let them disappear without any sound or news at any time. I was actually looking for the right time. Now, a chance had arrived; after the NanGong and Yang families defeated him, this would be the best time to clear the Ling Family!”

Master Qin trembled involuntarily; he naturally understood what was meant by ‘clearing the Ling’ family. Most likely, thousands of people will pay the price for Ling Tian ‘ hygiene program’! That price will be their life.

In Master Qin's impression, Ling Tian was a good person and a good disciple. However, this good person has a — limit as long as you don't provoke him, everything will be fine; because Ling Tian is a generous person. But if you touch his bottom line, he will change his attitude, faster than the time it takes you to turn the pages of a book. Once he revealed his cruel and ruthless self, it would surpass anyone's imagination!

For Ling Tian, his ’ durability’ comes in two different forms. The first is ‘defend’ in tolerance, the second is ‘defend’ in cruelty! [1] For both, Master Qin has first-hand experience!

Needless to say, Ling Tian personally helped Master Qin to calm down. However, when he returned, he did not see any trace of Ling Chen and Yu BingYan. Only after wondering, did he realize that his mother had called the two of them over for a chat. This left Ling Tian perplexed, what kind of strange idea is my mother planning again?Ever since Old Madam Ling made him slowly take over the family business, Ling Tian started to feel that her mother was getting harder to deal with. He initially thought that his mother was just a kind and loving person; but after digging deeper, he discovered that that was not the case. Just look at the women in the Ling Family, they are all very valiant. This was especially true after his mother took over the family business. He seemed enthusiastic about it, revealing his incredible talent. Other than the support of Old Lady Ling, she had turned into a super career female model in Ling Tian's eyes.

An interesting cycle was formed imperceptibly in the Ling Family. From the memories of his previous life, Ling Tian had many business plans and ideas. As the saying goes, even people who have never eaten a pig will see a pig walk. A few random clues thrown at Old Madam Ling would make her treat them like treasures. After polishing it and giving it to Chu Ting’er, he would not carelessly treat it as a recipe that should be followed blindly. Instead, he would enter his own variations, turning these ideas into shiny white silver taels that flowed endlessly into the Ling Family.

However, whatever Old Madam Ling learned was only limited to whatever the ‘sky long-winded’ master from Ling Tian had chosen. Chu Ting originally thought that these ideas were obtained from his erudite mother-in-law. As such, Ling Tian had always managed to conceal himself. However, Ling Tian began to think that the two women were becoming increasingly difficult to calm down. His mother is still better, because she doesn't know the truth. But Old Madam Ling would continue to try to investigate Ling Tian, staring at him for a long time, causing him to feel trepidation and fear. Even if you said that it was normal for a grandmother to stare at her granddaughter, but would that gaze make one feel afraid??!

Finally, Ling Chen and Yu BingYan walked back casually. At this point, Ling Tian almost fell asleep due to his boredom. But after seeing their strange expressions, Ling Tian gasped awake in fear, not knowing what his mother was doing this time to trigger a strange expression on their faces.

“Noble Young, the Empress sent an invitation to our residence, inviting all the Imperial Court Madam to Thea Smoky Pavilion for a party. The madam had already agreed to attend and thus, was preparing some gifts for the Royal Empress as well as the other Madam, “Ling Chen spoke with a strange tone and a face full of mischief. She had clearly come to a conclusion about what Chu Ting’er was planning.

“Ah? After the year of that meeting, didn't mom swear that she wouldn't attend a banquet like this again?” Ling Tian asked doubtfully.

Since Chu Ting’er was the wife of the Sky Bearing war god, to say that she was a top noble woman was not exaggerating at all. So why would he not want to hang out with other wives? Is he on the air? The real case was that Chu Ting’er was a virtuous and considerate wife, unwilling to pretend. But who asked Ling Tian to be the number one silk pants of the Sky Bearing, was unwilling to settle down even now. Therefore, Chu Ting’er was always worried about her son's future, gritting her teeth to promote her son to all of her ‘sisters’ around the city. However, everyone had already heard about Ling Tian's morals and behavior, hence the clear result!

Wherever Chu Ting’er went, the noble ladies with that status would immediately spread as if they had faced a plague. Only those who conspired to get into their inner circle would suck it up. However, Chu Ting’er was unwilling to comfort them! With the path to the peak closed, but unwilling to set his gaze down, Chu Ting finally decided not to attend such a meeting anymore, in order to avoid the arrogant looks of the other noble ladies. Moreover, many of the Ling Family's problems required his attention. Thus, he did not have much time to devote to such trivial matters.

“Aibi called me to ask you a lot about Sister Wei. Looks like Aunt Wei will be present tomorrow,” Yu BingYan's voice sounds strange, not like her usual tone.
