THE LING TIAN LEGEND
episode 18's

Chapter 18: Deep Scheme

On one hand, the poor old teacher inevitably blinked her eyes angrily. Listening to how the little boy spoke, he vaguely remembered that the situation was not as Ling Tian had described, or at least it was not entirely true. He felt that Ling Tian was twisting the truth to fit his purpose, mixing black and white. However, he could not show exactly what was wrong.

Seeing Ling Tian act properly and honestly, and speaking with such confidence, the old master suddenly felt a little dazed. It was very clear that this little boy had started this whole failure and even hit an innocent person, but he could even twist the truth and make it seem as if he was being persecuted! The ability he displayed in this misrepresentation can be said to be out of this world; by freeing himself from all errors in this matter, speaking in a logical and systematic way, he said, and by revealing all “fakt”, this looks as if he has been made to suffer grievances beyond heaven! The old master could only exclaim deeply, “The little boy who was currently speaking seemed to have turned into a cunning old fox spirit. How is he still a five-year-old? This ... This .. Doesn't this make too much sense? ”

The crowd simultaneously turned towards Master Qin with curious gazes. Master Qin coughed twice as he glanced at Ling Tian, before speaking in a low voice, “I did hear Young Master Ling Zhen say such words. However, they are only children who will say nonsense when angry, it is not ... *cough cough * ”

Stupefied audience. Black lines formed on all of their faces!

In this era, respect for seniors and higher authorities was strongly emphasized. If it was as Ling Tian described, then the beating he gave off would definitely not be excessive! No matter if it was with the status as a study officer or a cousin from Ling Tian's father's side, uttering such a sentence was a no-no! Ling Kong might be Ling Zhan's godson, but no matter how honorable his position was, it was still given by the Ling family. In conclusion, Ling Kong and his son were just privileged servants! Even if he was beaten to death, no one would pity him for insulting such a master's son.

Ling Kong's face changed because of this statement, and he knelt on the floor after taking one step forward and said, “Ling Kong has failed to teach his son well. Please punish me, godfather!” Although he was filled with hatred deep inside, he had no other alternative. Since his son had spoken thus, and even had a witness, how could he argue his way out? Looking at Ling Tian, he began to plan deep in his heart. He now had to recalculate his plan to account for the little boy's careful thoughts! It was unexpected that simple-minded Ling Zhan and Ling Xiao could produce a profound and meticulous planner as a descendant!

With a grim expression, Ling Zhan said, “Forget it, we will put this aside for now.” To be honest, when Ling Zhan heard that Ling Zhen had spoken such words, he had already started to rampage before even discovering the truth of the matter. Who is Ling Tian? He is the son of his own son! Just from his appearance, one could tell that his appearance came from the same mold as the other family members. To think that someone would actually call his grandson a “little bastard”! Ling Zhan even felt that Ling Tian had let go with a punch that was too light.

Ling Tian was very happy! Since Ling Zhen wasn't in place at the time, weren't his words considered the absolute truth? Moreover, whatever he said was the truth, it was just that there were some parts that did not fit his case. He did not mention a word about how he had oppressed Ling Zhen and persuaded him to use those words, either, but it instead drew everyone's attention towards the few words Ling Zhen used against him.

Moreover, due to Master Qin's ancient temperament, he did not like to lie and hide the truth, and thus would not argue with the details of complicated situations. Moreover, if Master Qin explained the entire matter in detail and pointed out that the fault was on Ling Tian, it would be difficult to predict what attitude Ling Zhan would adopt, he said, just because Ling Tian was his own grandson! Ling Zhen, as his godson, definitely had no higher place in his heart. Thus, Ling Tian believed that Master Qin would know this matter no matter how stupid he was.

If Master Qin really revealed the truth and explained why Ling Zhen used that word, he would not be punished too harshly. But this would leave an impression that Master Qin was trying to sow discord between Ling Tian and his grandfather! Once such an impression was formed, then Master Qin would not have any fun in the empire and his reputation would fall apart. It would be an addition to offending giants like the Ling family! Ling Tian had already accurately predicted Master Qin's thoughts, and as he had expected, Master Qin's reaction was no different from his hypothesis!

However, the most beautiful part was actually Ling Tian's plan to admit his mistake the moment he opened his mouth, and admit his mistake from the start, even explaining his thoughts further. Ling Zhan and the other elders would definitely empathize with him; imagine an out-of-control five-year-old suddenly getting so many masters and training classes forced upon him, restricting his freedom, limiting his freedom, this will make anyone unhappy. Even adults may not be able to accept it easily, let alone children.

This was also Ling Tian's way of sending a message: that to a five-year-old, such a schedule was too demanding and ridiculous for him. This was especially true of his grandmother and mother. As for his grandfather and father, he did not expect the two fools to understand the underlying meaning. He only hoped that his father and grandfather would be able to understand the fact that Ling Zhen had insulted him, and even more so in a very vile manner. Had enough.

The family looked at each other anxiously, with no one knowing what to do next.

At this time, Old Madam Ling coughed lightly twice before saying, “Ling Kong, how about you visit Little Zhen and check his injuries? Take good care of him. The doctor hasn't answered us, and this makes this old lady worried. ” This is obviously an attempt to expel it, with the underlying reason being: Now it's a family internal matter and we don't need you to interfere.

A glint of hatred appeared in Ling Kong's eyes, before he lowered his head and respectfully replied, “Yes! Then this boy will go. For the grievances that Young Master Tian suffered today, this child will definitely return and discipline his son.well.”

Madam Ling replied in a generous manner, “Forget it. After all, they were still children and did not know decency. Having been outside for so many years, you must have also suffered quite a bit. Take advantage of this opportunity for a good rest and rejuvenate yourself. ” This sentence is quite funny, saying that since they are still children then they do not know how to behave. In other words, Madam Ling implied that by forgetting the humiliation, Ling Kong also had to forget the fact that Ling Tian beat up his son.

Of course, Ling Kong understood the meaning, and could only thank him in return before retreating from the room.

Madam Ling chuckled softly, saying: “Master Qin need not be so courteous. Friends, please show Mr. Qin to the living room.”

Those who were not involved all retreated without exception, and only Ling's immediate family members remained. Ling Tian was still kneeling on the floor, but seeing the opportunity itself, he took the opportunity to get a little agitated, letting a look of sadness appear on his face.

Chu Ting’er was heartbroken to the point that her tears threatened to fall and glanced towards the madam with pleading eyes. Madam Ling asked unhappily, “For what did you see this old lady? Can't you see that my dear grandson is still kneeling on the floor? Aren't you gonna ask him to wake up?”

Chu Ting’er rejoiced at hearing it and hurriedly replied, “Thank you so much for mom!” At this moment, Ling Tian stood up even before his mother helped him up. Throwing herself into her grandmother's chest, she hugged her neck like an octopus, exclaiming, “Grandmother is the best!” While pretending to act like a child, goosebumps all over her body.

Madam Ling hugged her granddaughter, with a beaming face as she said, “You sneaky little brat, always have a sweet mouth. You only know how to please your grandmother.”

Ling Xiao snorted, “Mother, this brat has been so stubborn. He needs to accept some kind of punishment. Otherwise, if next time he develops a raging habit, then how will we overcome it?”

Madam Ling opened her eyes wide at her son while scolding, “You are ten times more stubborn and mischievous than she was when you were young! Aren't you still a great general? Regarding the children's teaching, you think this old lady still needs you to teach me? Better shut the fuck up! ”

Hearing this, Ling Zhan couldn't help either but snort. But when she opened her mouth, the old woman had already diverted ‘tapan death’ him, continuing the barrage, “Old fogy, what are you grunting for? Just look at you, old murderer, how dare you let my granddaughter kneel. Long time! Look, his knees are all red. Aiyah, let's let grandma blow it... Does it still hurt? Aiyah, it would be nice Tian’er-ku. ”.

“Ah? Tian’er's knees are all red? Does pain? Come on, let mom rub it for you..”

Looking at the two women in their family with smiles stretching to the corners of their eyes, asking about Ling Tian's well-being, the two men — Ling Zhan and Ling Xiao — looked at each other and simultaneously rolled their eyes. They could not help but be overwhelmed by feelings of helplessness and defeat; how exactly did the matter today turn to such a situation in the end?

Twilight. Ling Tian lay comfortably on his bed with his eyes closed. No one knows what he's thinking.

The problem today was actually a test developed by Ling Tian himself. Indeed, one of the reasons for that was because he was not interested in all of the hired teachers. However, the biggest reason for the deliberate rampage was actually to give a warning to Ling Kong's partner and son! No matter what kind of status Ling Kong held, whether it was Ling Zhan's godson or the butler of the house, what should have been his would have been granted and for what should not have been his, he could stop dreaming of getting it. !

Today's act was to tell the father-son couple that after all, he, Ling Tian, was the true grandson of Ling Zhan, and thus became the first person to replace the Ling family! Even if he became unreasonable and beat up Ling Zhen, what about it? In the end, the host is still the master and a servant will always be the servant! A host would never give a serious punishment to another master for his actions against a servant! This Ling Kong wants to occupy his seat? He can stop dreaming!

“If you, Ling Kong, can see the big picture and live honestly from now on, I might still leave you and your son the way to live! If you want to stubbornly persist in your path, then I, Ling Tian, will not have the patience to warn you a second time! All that awaits you is destruction and destruction! I only gave it a chance once. As for those who do not know how to appreciate it, I will definitely not give them another chance! ” Ling Tian thought in his heart with his eyes closed.

Seeing that it was getting late, his mother began to walk back to his room. From a distance her parents' room lights were off. Outside the house, a faint snoring sound could be heard from the servant girl, Qiu Yue.

Ling Tian smiled to himself as he grabbed onto the bottom of the bed and took out a bundle, taking out a set of black clothes meant for night travel. In an instant, a black-clothed masked figure came out from the window, akin to a bird flying across the open sky or wind blowing across the treetops. He did not carry a light source of any kind, just gliding and weaving in the air as he twisted and turned gracefully. He secretly stole towards the residence where Ling Kong and his son lived …
