THE LING TIAN LEGEND
episode 219's

At this moment, Wei XuanXuan only felt the evil pressure around him suddenly dissipate, with the early summer air warming him once more! As Ling Jian leaned over and held onto his arm, propping him up, he had the intention to fight freely, but his body seemed to be losing energy! It was likely that if Ling Jian released him, he would probably fall back. Left with no alternative, he could only lean on her with a flushed face.

It seemed as if the streets were again crowded, with screams and snacks filling his ears. This gave him a huge shock, when he realized that under the pressure exerted by the two men before, it had completely blocked all voices from him!

With his left hand supporting Wei XuanXuan, Ling Jian remained perpendicular. Although his right hand looked relaxed without any tense muscles in it, Ye BaiFei was convinced that this was an absolute form of preparation. Ling Jian's sword located on his right hip was placed in a position that not only allowed him to pull it as fast as possible, but also to allow complete protection from himself as he did! With the method to advance or retreat, there was no risk at all to him!

Of course, only experts at least at your level BaiFei can see through this profound sword drawing skill; if a martial artist of a lower grade has to deal with Ling Jian, then, without looking at his position and attacking blindly, it was likely that he would be killed in a split second!

Ye BaiFei's eyes revealed a hint of praise as he loosened his body, seemingly passing through Ling Jian without any caution at all! As their shoulders aligned, Ling Jian's fingers twitched at the same time Ye BaiFei's shoulders trembled; but the two did not act.

In the blink of an eye, Ye BaiFei's eccentric appearance disappeared into the crowd behind Ling Jian, and even his shadow was nowhere to be seen. Only at this point did Ling Jian relax his tensed senses, knowing that his palms were drenched in cold sweat!

Just now, the two of them had set the time for a decisive battle, but by the time they crossed, they both thought of silencing the other! Both of them were assassins, not martial artists dueling for fun! Their only goal in life is to kill! If Ye BaiFei really blindly believed the fact that Ling Jian would not touch him until their duel and walk without any preparation, he would only be an ice-cold corpse now!

Likewise, if Ling Jian trusted Ye BaiFei unconditionally, the latter would immediately jump to kill! For Ling Jian to support Wei XuanXuan and in a disadvantageous position, he would definitely not be able to escape!

At that crossing point, the two passed through many imagined life and death scenarios! Subtle dangerous situations are hard to imagine and hard to describe!

However, Ling Jian did not realize that when Ye BaiFei walked past him into the crowd, his forehead started to break out in cold sweat! The intense killing intent emitted by Ling Jian was as if he was one with a sword, a world with Ye BaiFei had not even been caught a glimpse! He secretly swore to himself, that if Ling Jian dared to appear for their duel, he would have to hack it, at the risk of revealing all his trump cards!

“You are the enemy?” With lingering fear, Wei XuanXuan asked in a trembling voice, his eyes showing his fear.

“Oh.” This indifferent voice caused Wei XuanXuan to boil with so much anger that his previously forgotten fear!

“Oh?!!”

What kind of answer is that? Is that a yes or no? You may not answer either!

You are at most a servant of the Ling Family, to have such guts, who do you think you are?

Little Miss Wei suddenly felt a seething rage that shook her stomach, and snorted furiously before pulling her arm from Ling Jian's hand. Swinging his sleeves hatefully, he started walking again, without even caring about his sedan!

Ling Jian's gaze turned cold, but he did not speak, quietly following him from behind. Secretly, she was angry at herself, Just a mere official's daughter, what kind of princess problem are you going through?! He could only sigh in admiration at Ling Tian's ability to sit with them day after day; it turned out that this was no easy task! Who could withstand the temperament of such a fickle princess? If it was him, he would have slapped them a long time ago!

With his self-immolating rage, Wei XuanXuan actually revealed a shocking persistence, walking all the way back to his house in high spirits! And he didn't even speak a word the whole way!

Wei XuanXuan had always been proud of his appearance. Although not as tall as Ling Chen or Xiao YanXue, she could still be considered an extraordinary beauty. To think that this piece of cold wood seemed to ignore her beauty, treating her like morning glory on a roadside wall! Even if she glanced at him, there would be no change in his expression, as if he was looking at Tom,**** or Harry, or worse, a stranger who had nothing to do with him! How annoying!

Is this person the reincarnation of a wooden block?

Stupidhead!

Even his master Ling Tian did not show such behavior in the palace when they first met. Although he had a slight disdain, but he wore a happy and refined and polite expression! This black-robed man looked as if he did not care! This aunt here will be looking for an opportunity to teach you a good lesson!

On his way back, Wei XuanXuan's mind was filled with evil thoughts, plotting how to get the jerk to reveal a battered expression in front of him, or how to lead him to a merry-go-round. His face went from angry to overjoyed constantly, to the point that he did not realize that he had reached his doorstep!

Turning around, he only saw a slender figure in black robes already walking back from where they came from. His move was stable and firm, with no intention of staying a single second longer! From start to finish, not only did he not say a word to her, but he did not even say goodbye after sending Wei XuanXuan back home!

It was at this moment that he recalled the fact that the two of them had not even exchanged sentences throughout this journey, and hatefully thought, thinking, How could a servant from the Ling Family really treat me this way! His anger bubbled once more, and Wei XuanXuan stomped his feet to the ground. In doing so, a wave of pain penetrated his leg, immediately causing him to cry out in pain, with tears streaming down his cheek. Since she wanted to show her emotions, the little girl had actually exceeded the limits that her tiny legs could withstand on such a long journey! His legs might blister now, thanks to that fool!

Gazing at the sunset, Ling Tian softly spoke to Ling Chen, “It's almost time, the sky went dark.”

While Ling Chen was adept at reading his thoughts, he did not understand the meaning of Ling Tian from ‘almost his time’, and simply nodded his head in confusion, answering with “En.”

At this point, the two of them descended from their horses, and using their superior movement technique, flew to hide in the tree with lush leaves. Below them is a medium-sized courtyard, with statues as gatekeepers for rust-decorated iron gates. From his dilapidated condition, it was as if it had been long abandoned, yet with the couple's extraordinary eyesight, they could see that the interior of the house was neatly arranged, even a few cups of tea were ready! Anyone looking from the outside of the house would think that no one lived here, but the white table in the courtyard from their point of view was actually clean and dustless! This is completely contrary to common sense!

The only plausible scenario was that there was someone living here, and moreover had just come out!

This place was the residence of the assassin Ye BaiFei! Ling Tian had always felt that this person had appeared with too precise a time, just when all the heroes had gathered in the Sky Bearing. To say that he came here to look around was an absolute lie!

Ye BaiFei was an assassin, and an extraordinary one. To appear at such a sensitive time, the goal was few, and one of them was definitely to kill! If it was an ordinary day in the Sky Bearing, Ling Tian did not want to provoke such a powerful enemy. With Ye BaiFei's current strength, even though he was no match for Ling Tian, there would definitely be an organization backing him! Otherwise, how could he have obtained a detailed intelligence report on his assassination target?

The killer who was aloof and didn't answer to anyone only appeared in novels. Such people would not exist in reality without strong support!

Receiving missions, finding targets, providing a time frame, performing reconnaissance, until the last part of killing the target, someone else is needed in the background to deal with everything but actual killing. To get the killer to do everything himself? Most likely, he would not kill anyone, and only end up exhausting himself to death! Even if he did not die from exhaustion, his lack of business would kill him!

Thus, while Ye BaiFei was not considered the strongest, he was clearly a hitman. In his career, he had only failed once, namely the Yu Man Lou Yu Family, as well as Yu ManTian who was in his way! However, when he failed, he still escaped with all of his limbs intact!

In this sensitive time, if Ye BaiFei was planning to kill an important character at such a time, it would definitely bring chaos to the city. This was something that Ling Tian would never be able to tolerate because it would definitely mess up his plans!
