Ling Tian ignored him completely, hugging Ling Chen all the way to the doorway. Just as he was about to enter the bedroom, Ling Chen was already helpless. So, he gathered his courage and whispered to Ling Tian in his ear, “Suami ..” At the same time, his face and neck were already completely red.
Ling Tian then moved his ears and asked doubtfully, “Chen’er, what are you saying? I didn't hear you clearly.”
Ling Chen whined and saw Ling Tian standing there without any action. Helpless, he could only approach Ling Tian's ears again. Just as he was about to say the word again, Ling Tian suddenly turned around, looked into his eyes, “Chen’er, you should tell it to me directly. I will be able to hear clearly like that!”
Chen’er dived into Ling Tian's arms bashfully, refusing to raise his head. Moments later, she let out a soft cry, “Suami ..”
Ling Tian laughed, “I finally heard it. Chen’er, fortunately the martial arts of this young noble had just achieved a breakthrough. Otherwise, it may be difficult for me to hear you. Err, siiiiiii Filled with the embarrassment from Ling Tian forcing him, Ling Chen grabbed Ling Tian's waist with his two fingers and pinched loudly. Hearing Ling Tian call him ‘istri’, he suddenly felt a wave of excitement and shame. At the same time, she felt emotional in her heart, finally getting what she wanted after years of waiting. Those feelings of emotion flooded over him as he began to moan in Ling Tian's embrace.
Ling Tian then stroked her hair gently and let out a long sigh, “That pitiful but incredible woman is willing to be my concubine! I really let Chen’er down! ” These words were not said to make Ling Chen happy but from the bottom of his heart. With Ling Chen's talent and appearance, she was more than worthy to be Ling Tian's first wife if she was born into a more prestigious family. However, they were limited by the customs of the world, determining Ling Chen's miserable fate. Even if he married Ling Tian as a concubine, it would be considered a noble path for him.
Hearing what Ling Tian said, Ling Chen slowly stopped crying as a sense of satisfaction filled his heart, “As long as the young noble appreciates Chen’er, it is more than enough. Chen’er never dared to expect excessively. As long as the young nobles did not chase away Chen’er, Chen’er would accompany the young nobles forever. Even if I had to be your servant all my life, I wouldn't regret it!”
Ling Tian then stroked her hair gently and sighed depressedly.
Light footsteps could then be heard and Ling Tian said with a frown, “Why is he coming back again?”
Indeed, Xiao YanXue appeared again. However, he had a different attitude towards Ling Tian this time around, looking at Ling Tian with a slightly investigative look.
Ling Tian then let Ling Chen down, letting him lean on him. As a newlywed, this was the moment where she would be the most timid. Therefore, he buried his face in Ling Tian's chest and refused to be seen.
Ling Tian smiled and looked towards Xiao YanXue with a questioning gaze, “This is already the second time Miss Xiao has been here and your sincerity is clearly visible. I'd like to know what kind of teachings you present here to give to me?”
Xiao YanXue smiled and said, “YanXue came here without notice, hoping that young noble Ling would be generous. I want to ask for a little help from sister Chen, I wonder what the young nobles think about that? ”
“Oh?” Ling Tian's eyebrows wrinkled, “Help? What favor? Chen’er we are not feeling well and we can forget it if the problem is heavy!” Then, he walked into the room and shifted the two bamboo chairs out personally. Placing it under the wine rack, he invited Xiao YanXue to sit down. He then prepared the tea and placed the glass in front of him. Since Xiao YanXue is here to borrow someone, the Xiao Family will definitely make a move! But with Chen’er hiding his true strength very well, what kind of help did they want from Chen’er? Why don't I take advantage of this opportunity to fish for some information? Let's see how that Xiao girl reacts first!
Ling Chen wanted to get up to help but Ling Tian immediately helped him back into the chair. His face reddened as he looked at Ling Tian with satisfaction filling his heart.
Xiao YanXue's impression changed slightly again, looking at Ling Chen with a tone of envy. You must understand, as the number one person of his generation, how could Xiao YanXue be an ordinary person? For him to befriend Ling Chen, half the reason was because of the admiration for his skill, while the other half was the intention to bring Ling Chen to his side. No matter how talented Ling Chen was, Ling Chen was still a servant and even had to serve a master of silk pants like Ling Tian. If he could promise Ling Chen freedom, it might just bring Ling Chen to his side. Just because he had such thoughts, he was friends with Ling Chen.
But from the bashful expression on Ling Chen's face, everything instantly changed. No matter how talented Ling Chen was, Ling Chen was no longer a virgin, being someone beside Ling Tian's bed. There was no longer any hope for him to bring Ling Chen along!
Xiao YanXue then sighed regretfully. After pausing for a moment, he returned to the main point, “First, Yan Xue has already obtained the approval of Old Madam. After the various powers entered the Sky Bear City, we will hold an auction at the Ling Family to sell the seven heavenly treasures we brought! Second, YanXue wanted to take this opportunity to exchange some pointers with Chen's sister in the field of music. I hope sister Chen is not stingy with her teachings. Third...”
“There is still a third?” Ling Tian asked with his mouth wide open, “The Xiaomu family is still not finished? You guys really have to hire your workers to death? How can I let my Chener be trampled like that? ”
Seeing Xiao YanXue roll her eyes in dissatisfaction, Ling Tian raised his hand in surrender, “Alright alright alright, continue speaking. I'm listening.”
“XiMen Qing ?!” Before Xiao YanXue could continue, Ling Tian cut him off. [1]
“That's right, XiMen Qing!” Xiao YanXue was unaware that Ling Tian recited the word ‘Qing’ differently, as he looked at Ling Tian with a strange expression, Why does he have such a huge reaction?
Ling Tian's eyes opened wide in shock! Damn, this world actually has XiMen Qing! He is even talented! I wonder if there will be Pan JinLian? [2]
“XiMen Qing is very talented, proficient in all poetry, songs, zither, calligraphy, and painting! The XiMen family deliberately held a scientific meeting, gathering all the talents in the continent for a competition. Moreover, XiMen Qing was a very competitive person. According to his usual habits, he would definitely challenge every family. This little sister was not talented and might be able to survive a round or two in the field of calligraphy and painting. However, XiMen Qing's achievements in music were incredible and this little sister was no match for him. In the Sky Bearing City, only sister Chen had a chance to defeat her! So...”
Ling Tian finally understood that he had misheard the pronunciation of the name. He then could not help but ask, “If I lend Ling Chen to you, what will my Ling Family do? I believe my Ling Family should participate in it as well, right? ”
Xiao YanXue was first stunned before covering her mouth in a giggle. His laughter was filled with endless humiliation. Even though he didn't say anything, his point was clear, A silk trouser like you would like to participate in that scientific meeting? Do you deserve it?
A ball of anger appeared in Ling Tian's heart! Seeing Xiao YanXue's disgusted smile, Ling Tian had the urge to punch him!
You actually dare to say such a thing in my Ling Family? Xiao Family, hehehe, aren't you guys too arrogant?!
“Young nobles don't want to lend it? Or are you afraid that your Ling Family will not have the guts to participate in the meeting without Miss Chen? ” Xiao YanXue's attitude suddenly changed, becoming extremely arrogant and strong! Not to mention Ling Tian, even Ling Chen, who was in Ling Tian's embrace, could not help but look with fury in his eyes! Hmph, you actually dare to insult my husband like that? A sister? Hmh! I won't show any face even if we're brothers!
“Not a big problem letting girl Chen help you guys for a few days,” said Ling Tian, “but she is not well at the moment. He will only be able to leave a few days later.” The next moment, Ling Tian had already suppressed his anger. Being his second life, Ling Tian's mental state was already very mature.
Xiao YanXue then bowed, “Then I should thank the young noble for fulfilling my wish.” When he lowered his head, his eyes instantly narrowed! Grandpa is right! Ling Tian, this person who was like silk pants was indeed extraordinary! Even with my provocation, he can actually remain calm! When he raised his head again, his eyes showed a different look, “If that was the case, YanXue would be here a few days later to invite sister Chen in person. YanXue will take him away!”
“Wait a minute, Miss Xiao.” Ling Tian called out to him with a smile in his eyes as he asked, “Miss Xiao, I wonder what seven heavenly treasures your family will auction? Can you reveal some nuggets of information to me? ”
Xiao YanXue pretended to hesitate before saying, “It doesn't matter if I tell young noble Ling. After all, these items only existed in legends and most people in the world only saw the sky from the well. There are too few knowledgeable people who would know about such things.” The meaning of his words is very clear — I don't think that silk pants like you would know. Telling it to you is nothing more than playing a harp for a cow. You may not be able to distinguish the good from the bad.
This was another investigative intent by Xiao YanXue! Fighting with this woman? Hmph hmph, just look how this woman here will dig out all your roots! This woman is the famous ‘Jia NanFeng’! [3]
As if Ling Tian did not catch the sarcasm in Xiao YanXue's words, he replied with interest, saying, “Then I really have to ask for some pointers from Miss Xiao so that I can broaden my horizons.” A cold gaze then flashed past his eyes as he thought to himself, Is this girl trying to test me?
[1]: Note that the XiMen Qing that Xiao YanXue said was and the XiMen Qing that Ling Tian said was . They are pronounced differently but have the same spelling. The XiMen Qing that Ling Tian spoke of was a character in the famous novel ‘Water Margin’ and ‘Golden Lotus’.
[2]: Pan JinLian is another character from the Golden Lotus.
[3]: I am a little confused as to why the author used Jia NanFeng. Jia NanFeng was an empress in the Jin Dynasty and was known for her unscrupulous ways in court political conflicts. The author may refer to his cunning character as opposed to his brutality.
