THE LING TIAN LEGEND
episode 167's

Dressed in a pure white robe, Ling Tian held a jade green flute and sat in a comfortable chair near his window. A warm smile was seen on his face as he reminisced about his past life, where he and his brothers would go fishing in a small river when they were young. They will build a small mud dam upstream and another downstream. Then, some of them would scoop up all the water in the middle like excited little monkeys. Eventually, the fish will be seen bouncing around in the remaining shallow water. At that moment, Xue’er, Meng’er, LingChao …

Then, a bitter smile could be seen on Ling Tian's face as the thought seemed so distant to him. At that time, they were all probably only around five or six years old. Furthermore, it was probably his only memory fragment where they did not fight and conspire with each other. It is unfortunate that good days cannot be saved…

Unknowingly, Ling Tian had brought a flute to his mouth and a melodious tone filled the room. It was as if the tone was coming from heaven, with the sky floating and clouds floating along the melody. However, that heavenly song seemed to carry an eternal pain, lasting forever. Is this the true meaning of the saying ‘the eternal world will end, but this hatred will never fade’?

While the flute melody sounded soft and graceful, it was also bold and intense at the same time. In addition, there was a bitter taste and sadness carried in the depths of the melody. Suddenly, this silent melody seemed to reverberate throughout the Ling residence. Everyone who heard it felt a strange emotion appear in their hearts; it was as if they were old, casually spending the rest of their time after witnessing its sweet, bitter, sour and poignant life.

Behind Ling Tian, Ling Chen was dressed in white as he experienced a silent melodic emotion. His entire heart sank into the melody, as his eyes filled with tears.

After the shock from the previous night, Xiao YanXue was currently resting in her room. Just as he lifted the teacup to his lips, he was stunned by the flute melody that floated into his ear.

In his life, this was the first time he heard such a melody — was so pitiful yet beautiful. He had never imagined that there would be such a talented musician in the Ling Family!

At that moment, everyone in the Ling Family stopped what they were doing and fully immersed themselves into the beautiful melody.

Without exception, each of them felt that the beauty of this melody was something they had never heard before in their lives. The melody was modern, with an ancient tone, and filled with dense emotions that involuntarily attracted everyone's heart to resonate with it.

The melody of the flute lingered at Ling's house endlessly, as Ling Tian also felt extremely sentimental in his heart. This was one of Ling Tian's favorite works from his previous life — A Smile Through Life. Playing this part again, Ling Tian's heart was filled with an indescribable mood. He felt as if his heart was empty of love and hatred, filled only with sourness, bitterness, melancholy, and a deep longing for someone who understood him. It was as if his soul was snatched away in endless pain …

“The long rivers and endless waters, heaven is proud of itself.

It is time for one's eyes to become enlightened.

It is not too early to proclaim the goodness of life,

Let the next generation fight about right and wrong.

The wooden boat floated on the river, enjoying the scenery around with a smile.

The teenagers get entangled with their emotions, repeating the process many times.

North-south-east-west there are too many problems in the world

It is best to look at all these problems with a calm heart.

Who can determine victory and defeat with a single glance,

The affairs of the world that are fleeting are the most difficult to predict.

Spring-summer-autumn-winter, the tides are always changing.

Realizing that you're too calculative, you're old.

The biggest fear is the lack of intimate friends.

(Writer's Note: Gentlemen, this must be a beautiful song to enjoy. Both the lyrics and the melody, it is definitely a classic.) [1]

It was as if an inaudible voice was singing the lyrics in Ling Tian's heart. The memories that had been sealed appeared in his heart again. Unwittingly, the flute melody became softer, like a stream of water flowing in his palm. Worldly affairs were his only enterprise as he issued unhurried and silent complaints …

After the song finished, Ling Tian felt like he had woken up from a dream. Only then did he realize that his face was already completely wet. The song had released an emotion hidden deep in his heart. The moment Ling Chen heard the song, he could hear strong emotions in the heart of the man he loved. How many people in this world would understand the sadness in his heart? Ling Chen could not help his hurt feelings, but he did not know how to comfort Ling Tian. He could only dive into his arms to melt his frozen heart with his warmth and gentleness. Even if no one in this world could understand him, he would at least be accompanied by his loved ones…

“Young master, what song is this? It's really beautiful! But it was also completely ..” It was as if Ling Chen could not find the right word to describe the song. However, his words shocked Ling Tian. Just what's wrong with me today? Why am I so famous today?

“This song is titled ‘A Smile Through Life’! The sad emotion of this song is the fear of not finding someone in life who understands you! Chen’er, with you to accompany me all my life, it is my luck of the three lives! Ling Tian then said unhurriedly, “Chen’er, you must not say that I am the one who blew this part later. Otherwise, you will have a lot of love rivals appearing. Remember, this part is done by you. You are a talented person who is forced to serve Silk Pants and no one understands you in this life of yours! So you created this song. Haha, let me teach you this song later!”

Ling Chen's face flushed red as he thought, “If young nobles are called silk pants, who can be called a genius in this world! A very beautiful song, a very talented person! For a young noble to treat me as his bosom friend, that is my fortune of three lives! ” At the same time, she is also worried about how many beautiful women will like her talented young noble who is talented in martial arts and literature. Right now, he was only wearing an outer silk trouser coat. But, gold will eventually glitter and the famous sword will definitely reveal its luster in the end! As his young noble revealed his diverse talents, who knew how many women would fall in love with him!

Now that I am the only one on the side of the young noble, I will naturally be able to enjoy all of its gentleness and sweetness. But what about the future? What if…

Seeing how a half-jokingly uttered expression made Ling Chen extremely worried, Ling Tian could not help but be amused. Suddenly, the miserable mood in his heart was completely swept away. He then couldn't help but pinch his nose lightly, “Chen’er, what are you thinking? Did you hear my instructions? ”

“I... I'm afraid.. afraid that the young noble will be stolen.” In a daze, he said whatever was on his mind when he heard Ling Tian's question. He only realized his mistake after those words came out of his mouth and his face turned a crimson red. He then buried his head in Ling Tian's embrace as he began to stomp his feet and whine.

“This girl, you can actually perform such a beautiful song. Fortunately, the number one silk pants in this capital city are grabbing you. Ha ha!” Ling Tian said half-jokingly.

Ling Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at Ling Tian with a pair of gentle eyes. Just as he was about to answer …

There was a commotion from outside. “It looks like his fans are here.” Ling Tian laughed bitterly at himself. The sudden action had actually created so much trouble for him. However, Ling Chen was definitely the one who blew the part! Perhaps, no one would have ever believed that such a dazzling song could actually be performed by this famous silk-clothed young noble! Perhaps only a fairy like Ling Chen could perform such a feat!

The first person to come was actually Xiao YanXue! With her crazy passion for music, she was completely immersed and immersed in a soul-piercing song! If he did not ask this expert in front of him to give him a hint or two, wouldn't that be the biggest regret of his life? Thus, after finally coming out of the song trap, Xiao YanXue ran over expectantly. However, who would have thought that the first person he met was the face that disgusted him! His mood was completely destroyed!

Thinking of how the song went from nearby, he suppressed the disgust in his heart and bowed with a frown, “Young master Ling, who blew the flute before?”

“Blow flute? What blows the flute? Oh, that annoying voice?” Ling Tian yawned, “It sounds really like a crying ghost, disturbing my beauty sleep! God, why are you blowing that wretched song for no good reason? Look, now someone's here to find trouble with you! Go and explain the problem yourself! ” As he said that, his right hand, which was behind his back, rubbed the flute gently and flew towards Ling Chen's hand in a mystical trajectory.

“You! How dare you say that!” Xiao YanXue's face changed. He is too vulgar irresistible!! Just when he wanted to turn around to leave, he couldn't help but think of the black-clothed man who saved him last night. From the figure and voice of the black-clothed man, he should not be too old. Looking at the sleepy-looking Ling Tian in front of him, he could not help but cry in his heart, “Although it looks like a whole human being, why does he not know how to speak like that! They are both very young but with a very striking difference!”

“Nona Xiao, that wretched song was played by this waiter. I've brought disgrace to your ears and I ask for punishment from Miss. ” Ling Chen said in a soft, yet arrogant tone. Since the young noble said that I was the one who blew up the piece, so be it! Soon, the young noble will teach it to me and I am the only one who can accept its teachings anytime and anywhere.

“Oh, it was indeed done by Miss Ling Chen. Only someone who was as handsome as Miss Ling Chen could perform such a dazzling song. YanXue greatly admires you in my heart. Why not...” Xiao YanXue already has a very good impression of Ling Chen. Not only because of her good looks, but also because of the elegance she radiates. It made Xiao YanXue feel as if he was looking at a piece of pure and icy jade. This made the usually proud Xiao YanXue feel as if she had found a true friend. At the same time, he also felt very sorry that Ling Chen was so loyal to Ling Tian! If not for these silk pants, Xiao YanXue would have been very willing to become Ling Chen's good friend. When he heard that a beautiful song was played by Ling Chen, he not only sighed about how Ling Chen did not get the praise he deserved for his talent.
