And I'm still thinking.. it turns out. aiii.” Yu BingYan wanted to say something but stopped halfway. However, the meaning in his words had already been conveyed so clearly.
The courtyard door opened lightly, and a young man dressed in all black walked in. One could clearly see that he was graceful and handsome, but his expression was like a dead board except for his predatory, piercing and fierce eyes.
“Ling Jian, why are you here?” Since Princess JiaoYue often came to visit Ling, she knew Ling Tian's trusted aide, and thus could not help but say anything.
Looking at the three women, Ling Jian could not help but be surprised.
Under normal circumstances, Ling Jian would not even appear at the Ling Residence during the day. However, he had just received some urgent and important news today that required him to look for Ling Tian to plan a countermeasure. Therefore Ling Jian recklessly decided to hurry over. Little did he know that Ling Tian was not only absent, there were even three beautiful women staring at him with gazes similar to rare specimens in the zoo.
“Oh, it turns out His Majesty is here. I was looking for a young noble about some things, but since he is not here, this servant must leave. ” Since Ling Tian is not around, there is no point Ling Jian staying over. She said her part, thinking ‘I'll be back later,’ as she looks up to see the sky dyed red, signifying the end of one day.
“Wait! Ling Jian, there's something I want to ask you.” Princess JiaoYue gave him a smile that was not really a smile as she looked at him, “You are good enough, Ling Jian, to actually collude with your young noble to fool this princess for so many years. Is that fun?”
Ling Jian was immediately placed somewhere. If another woman dared to talk to him like this, it was likely that he would silence her with a stab, even if that person was from the Royal Family! However, after all, JiaoYue was Ling Ran's daughter, which meant she was Ling Tian's cousin! Ling Jian could not find an answer to give her, and could only carefully answer, “What is the meaning behind the Princess' statement? This servant really doesn't know. I still have other problems, so I have to leave now. ”
While the Ling Family residence knew to honor Ling Tian's trusted aide, which meant that Ling Jian was not only a servant, but because he did not know how much Princess JiaoYue was aware of, she said, he can only play the role of a servant.
“Hmph, you don't understand?” Princess JiaoYue coldly snorted once, “I think you understand it more clearly than anyone here! Hurry up and admit this princess now!”
Hearing this, Ling Jian covered his mouth, and a terrifying killing intent shot out from his body. In an indifferent tone, he coldly spoke, “Some things are better if you directly ask the young noble, princess!” This sentence sounded like there was nothing a servant would say to his master, and moreover it was not like what one would say to a princess of a country. In his tone there was arrogance etched deep within his bones, as well as contempt for the Sky Bearing Royal Family! With Ling Jian personally running the First Pavilion these few years, other than Ling Tian, Ling Chen and Old Madam Ling, were, there was no one in this vast world that he considered his superior! The only exception was Yu ManTian, but even with his outstanding martial skills, straightforward personality, and trust, he only earned the respect of Ling Jian!
Don't joke with me! In this world, other than young nobles, no one else can rule me! So what if you are the Princess of Sky Bearing? If you are not Ling Tian's cousin, just based on your first sentence, I'll kill you! Even if you were Long Xiang, with just an order from the young noble, he would only end up as a spirit that went under my sword! All of you, don't have the qualifications to talk to me like this!
Ling Jian only said that one sentence before turning around to leave. However, when did Princess JiaoYue have someone talk to her like that? Even Empress Yang Xue, who hated her mother and she got to the bone, had to use a polite tone to call out to her! To think that Ling Jian would be so brave! At that moment, Princess JiaoYue was so angry that she was completely at a loss for words, her lips were trembling, unable to speak.
Ling Jian was preparing to step out of the door when a messenger rushed in, shouting, “Someone from the Wei Residence has come. May Miss Wei quickly return to the Residence, Master and Lady Wei have something to discuss with you. ”
Princess JiaoYue asked, “How many have come?”
Thinking of what happened to her and Ling Tian on the way to the palace today, Princess JiaoYue couldn't help but worry about Wei XuanXuan. If he really met with such on the way, wouldn't that be a problem for him? Now that all kinds of great powers were gathered in the Sky Bearing, who knew if there would be other silk pants hanging around the streets!
Therefore, he frowned and replied, “With the current unstable condition of Sky Bearing, isn't it dangerous to escort Sister XuanXuan home with just two guards? We'd better arrange more guards.” Turning his gaze to Ling Jian who came out, he snapped at him, “Ling Jian, stop there! Tell Wang Tong and have him arrange some guards to escort Miss Wei back!”
Ling Jian was already frustrated by the fact that he could not get to Ling Tian in time. Hearing that Princess JiaoYue actually wanted her to call some men, with the intention to make her stay for further interrogation, she could not help but roll her eyes, saying, “Why do we need so much? Only myself will do it! ”
Princess JiaoYue let out a cold snort, was about to reprimand her, but surprisingly, Yu BingYan cut her off by saying, “With this older brother's escort, Miss Wei will definitely be safe.” As he spoke, he looked at Princess JiaoYue with an understanding look.
Seeing Ling Jian accompany Wei XuanXuan out, Princess JiaoYue willingly asked in puzzlement, “Why did the Sister agree to her request? That fellow was not even skilled, how could he take care of Sister XuanXuan?”
“Princess can relax, surely there will be no problem!” Yu BingYan gave a sweet smile in response.
Princess JiaoYue's knowledge and experience could not compare to the descendants of the Yu family. While Yu BingYan could not practice martial arts, her experience and vision for detail were at the expert level. He had only met Ling Jian this time, but ever since he had released that ice-cold killing intent, he was extremely shocked upon realizing that Ling Jian's internal strength was only a step away from the XianTian realm! He could at least be considered a White Jade cultivator in their family, and rarely saw a talent of his age, even for his Yu Family! After interacting with Princess JiaoYue earlier, she knew that Princess JiaoYue was naturally kind and thus could not bear to see as she offended future expert candidates. How could such an expert put a princess in a small country inside her eyes?
One Ling Tian and one Ling Chen were enough to shock people. To think that there was still another Ling Jian!
In the past few days, he had discovered that a mere Ling Residence already had three such experts! And they're all so young! How powerful was the Ling Family really? How many more hidden experts do they actually have? How could a normal noble family recruit such strength?
After considering the possibility, Yu BingYan then realized that the Mysterious Yin Essence Heart Sutra she had found in Ling Tian's study was definitely not something torn and tattered, either, but it was something that Ling Tian might have spent a lot of effort searching for! Thinking of how much effort Ling Tian had put into making him find her, Yu BingYan could not help but feel a surge of happiness surging through her, and the corner of her eyes became wet. At that moment, Ling Tian probably did not want him to know about his strength, nor did he want him to feel uneasy if he discovered something, right?
Yu BingYan foolishly leaned against the courtyard door, letting the gentle breeze pull on her sleeve as she stood there in a daze…
While the Wei residence was not far from the Ling residence, the journey took about an hour. Master and Lady Wei wanted to discipline their mischievous daughter, and actually did not send a sedan! However, from the side of the Ling Family, only Ling Jian accompanied him, and had no experience in serving the nobility, certainly not knowing the requirements. Since he could walk several thousand miles on foot, then this small distance would be as easy as lifting his legs! Furthermore, Ling Jian did not volunteer as a special tribute to Wei XuanXuan, but only to avoid Princess JiaoYue's interrogation. Until he received the green light from Ling Tian, no matter how much Princess JiaoYue questioned him, he would just keep his mouth shut!
But Ling Jian easily forgot the important point! Wei XuanXuan was a noblewoman who rarely came out of her house. With his weak constitution, how could he survive such a long journey?
He had just taken a few steps when he felt his legs go numb. Up ahead, while the butler of the Wei Family was about to look back with concern, he didn't seem to want to stop for a break! Wei XuanXuan could only taste bitter, knowing that it was his parents' intention for him to suffer a little! Having previously been dragged away by Yu ManTian, both of his legs were still sore, and knowing that there was such a long road ahead of him, he was well aware of the pain in his legs.
