The sounds of the searching troops gradually approached the area.
Xiao YanXue's face could not help but blush as she thought to herself, “This person can also be considered strange: an unruly person who does not want to repay her kindness. To make me forget to repay her kindness, she decided to mock me. I must have misunderstood him before. ” He can't help but say with gratitude, “I wonder how can I talk to this brother? Can you tell me your name? Brother is protecting the sanctity of YanXue and this great kindness that you have given me is like giving me a new life. YanXue is very grateful and our Xiao Family is also grateful for your kindness. How can such kindness be reciprocated with a simple thank you?”
The black-clothed man shrugged his shoulders and replied in an unfettered manner, “That's nothing. We will never meet again. Pamitan.” Without waiting for an answer from Xiao YanXue, the black-clothed man soared into the air and landed on the roof. Then, he shouted out loudly, “The little princess of the Xiao Family is here!” Inner Qi was inspired in his words, his sharp voice spreading far and wide. After which, a commotion from afar began to walk towards them.
Xiao YanXue knew that he was going to leave and could not help but shout, “Wait a moment, can you leave your name?”
As if he had not heard it, or was disdainful to answer, his body disappeared with a flash, showing his incredible movement technique!
Anxiously, Xiao YanXue leaped onto the roof and scanned the surroundings. However, his surroundings were completely silent and empty, without a trace of the black-clothed man. At that moment, he could not help but feel sad in his heart.
Following the rustling of footsteps, Xiao FengYang landed beside Xiao YanXue as experts began to rush towards them. As he studied Xiao YanXue's expression, he asked carefully, “Xue’er, are you okay?” His words were full of worry. While Xiao FengYang was Xiao YanXue's grandfather, he doted on Xiao YanXue as if he was his own grandson. As long as he wanted the stars, he would never give him the moon. While they were only separated for a moment, the contents of his stomach were completely twisted due to anxiety. At the same time, he was also angry due to the fact that the ShangGuan Family dared to touch Xiao YanXue.
Xiao YanXue shook her head, naturally understanding what her grandfather asked, “I'm fine.” At the same time, he couldn't help but look around, hoping to see the black-clothed man's uncontrollable silhouette.
Seeing Xiao YanXue was fine, Xiao FengYang was finally able to calm down. If something were to happen to Xiao YanXue, her — as the elder who brought her out — would definitely lose her entire face. Not to mention how his family reacted, he would never be able to forgive himself!
After hearing Xiao YanXue's description of the entire affair, especially when he heard about the mysterious expert, Xiao FengYang was also completely confused. However, Xiao YanXue did not have a single memory of their enemy. When Xiao FengYang saw Xiao YanXue, his initial intention to eliminate the ShangGuan Family was completely forgotten.
The large group of them then escorted Xiao YanXue back to the Ling residence, and this was already past midnight. When Duke Ling and Old Madam Ling heard about the news, they came out personally to receive it. Ling Xiao and Chu Ting’er were also present, expressing their sincere concern to Xiao YanXue. Knowing that he was fine, they all felt as if a huge burden was lifted off their shoulders. Chu Ting’er then hugged Xiao YanXue in his arms, comforting her from the fear of the entire incident.
Xiao YanXue thanked the members of the Ling family repeatedly as she looked around, only to realize that no trace of Ling Tian was visible. She could not help but get frustrated in her heart as she thought, This “Silk pants are really silk pants. Even with the big affair that happened in his own home, he was still able to sleep soundly. He is rubbish!” However, Xiao YanXue was still very grateful for the attention shown to him by the other members of the Ling Family.
At this moment, Ling Tian had already returned to his own courtyard, and changed into a dry outfit. Only then did he call out to Ling Chen, looking at him without a word.
Seeing the serious expression on Ling Tian's face, Ling Chen couldn't help but blink his eyes and lower his head. While he knew what Ling Tian wanted to ask, he did not know where to begin to explain it.
Ling Tian then pointed to the chair beside the bed and said gently, “Sit down and explain what is going on.”
Ling Chen replied with ‘Mmm’ and sat down with his head still down. He then said softly, “After the young noble followed the person out, this servant realized that there was someone else sneaking into the courtyard where the Xiao Family lived. So, I went to take a look and saw that they had hit the little miss of the Xiao Family with a sedative. This servant wanted to save her, but suddenly remembered something Old Madam Ling said, ” as she explained up to here, she lifted her gaze and looked at Ling Tian.
Ling Tian then continued his explanation, “You thought about grandma telling me that I should marry Xiao YanXue? That's why you let that black-clothed man go? You know that I followed the black-clothed figure and wanted to give me the opportunity to save Xiao YanXue? You want to let me be the hero who saves beauty? You want me to take advantage of this opportunity to reach Xiao YanXue's heart?” Ling Tian's voice was very calm, but every word of him was filled with self-mocking tones.
“Then, you're afraid I won't meet them, or they come from two different groups. So, you followed behind them to save Xiao YanXue in case something goes wrong?”
“En.”
Ling Tian let out a long sigh and stood up, hugging Ling Chen into his arms. Ling Chen then leaned against his chest obediently, with a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
“Chen’er, you still don't understand me!” Ling Tian sighed, “In this world, how many women are worthy of my attention and attention? How many women is worth my time to chase after her with all I have? Ah ah.. if it was BingYan, she was still not acceptable. While BingYan had a thousand year old family behind her, the Yu Family clearly did not have such ambitions. Furthermore, BingYan gave me a very special feeling, as if she was my younger sister. Perhaps, this is related to the things he experienced since young, making me want to protect him with everything I have. However, if you're talking about marriage, it's not necessarily the one! I can only say that Yu BingYan is indeed important to me without a doubt.”
“Then, what about the little princess of the Xiao Family? Miss Xiao was extremely beautiful and no single princess or little miss could compare to her. I believe that Miss Yu's true appearance will only be comparable to her. Was the young noble not moved at all? ” Ling Chen asked gently.
“Cantics? Continues to? There are too many beautiful girls in this world. Can your young noble have it all? Do I have that kind of ability to claim everything for myself? ” Ling Tian smiled, “If you think that I would be interested in a woman because of her appearance, then Chen’er, you really underestimate your young noble. I have no interest in collecting flowers at home. ”
Ling Tian then paused for a moment before continuing, “Xiao YanXue was originally a wedding planned by my grandfather. Back then, I personally destroyed this marriage because of the Xiao Family's ambition, and their ability to carry out their ambitions. I must admit — if the Xiao and Ling Families unite, we will definitely be able to overtake the Sky Pads Kingdom in one night and destroy the Yang Family. With the support of the Xiao Family and the geography of the Sky Bear Empire, capable of launching attacks in all directions, we do have the chance to unify the continent. Hehe.”
Ling Chen became depressed, “Young noble, isn't this something you want to do? With such benefits and convenience, why you..”.
Ling Tian then took out ‘hmph’ and said, “If everything I just talked about came true, the Xiao Family will definitely take the lead, and our Ling Family will only be a subordinate family to them. If that's the case, what's the meaning behind it? All of our hard work then was for the Xiao Family to rule the continent. What will we gain from it? Perhaps, we might even end up as cannon fodder and be sacrificed in the process! This is a really stupid move! How could I, Ling Tian, do something like this ?! Besides, how can I live under someone else's roof?
Although Xiao YanXue is indeed beautiful, you must not forget that she is still the little princess of the Xiao Family! This status of hers is more than enough for me to distance myself from her! Besides, he was not a simple person either. If he wants to get my approval, he will have to give up his precious identity in the Xiao Family. Besides, the Xiao Family should also be my subordinates. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to keep him by my side. However, it is almost impossible for both of these things to happen. Hehe.” Ling Tian explained.
“So that's the problem. Young nobleman, Chen’er is wrong and seeks forgiveness. ” Ling Chen said softly with his head buried in Ling Tian's embrace.
Ling Tian took out two ‘hmphs’ and kissed her, “I have my own plans about my own wedding. Chen’er, it will only cause you to complain about participating in such a matter. You can leave everything to me. ”
“Mm!” Ling Chen could not help but feel his head reddening as his nose itched. With his head buried in Ling Tian's embrace, he replied gently ‘Mmm’.
Just when the Sky Pads City became crowded, the Yu Family was completely silent.
At the Moon Climbing Star Picking Tower, Yu Man Lou sat in front of the window leisurely, enjoying the beautiful scenery in front of him. Although he had seen this scene for ten whole years, he was not bored at all, with interest filling his eyes. Listening to the sound of the raindrops falling from outside, his face remained expressionless.
