THE LING TIAN LEGEND

THE LING TIAN LEGEND
episode 231-235


A while later, Ling Tian turned around and said, “Disregard him. Pass my question to those in charge of the Violent Wind Gang: Do they need an entire year to capture Su HuaiRen? Send my exact words! ”


Ling Chen stuck out his tongue, thinking of the pitiful reactions of the people from the Violent Wind Gang when they heard Ling Tian's orders. However, he also could not help them and could only convey a message.


The sky turned dark as the city was suddenly covered in thick clouds. At that moment, a light drizzle covered the city. Ling Tian then stood up and said with a smile, “The mistress is like silk, the drizzle is like poetry. How can we disappoint heaven for giving us such a beautiful sight? Chen’er, are you willing to accompany your husband for a walk in the rain?


“Young nobles, you don't wait for the emperor?” Ling Chen asked.


Ling Tian took a step forward and stepped right above the wine glass that NanGong TianLong had just used. With a crisp cracking sound, the glass turned into pieces. Then, Ling Tian turned around and said to Ling Chen with killing intent, “Emperor? Ah ah ah, why should I care?! So what if I ignore it?! Hmph, if she wasn't my aunt's husband, I would have slaughtered her today like an ant! Who does he think he is, after my non! ”


Hearing Ling Tian's anger, Ling Chen was deeply moved by Ling Tian's actions. His face began to blush as he smiled happily. He knew that Ling Tian was angry that Long Xiang liked him and could not help the sweet feeling and warmth in his heart. Just like how she was the most loved woman in Ling Tian's heart, Ling Tian was the most loved man in his heart! Looking at the man she loved, her eyes were filled with gentleness.


“Free-floating flower petals are light as a dream, endless drizzle thin as a worry. Chener, you know what? The thing I like the most is to take a slow walk in this light drizzle, especially with you by my side.” Ling Tian then looked at the dark and dreamlike sky slowly descending. A light drizzle seemed to have covered the sky like a thick fog, creating a dreamlike feeling. “Every time there is such a light drizzle, I will feel as if the whole world will disappear into nothingness, leaving me alone in this vast world wishing there was someone by my side.”


Ling Chen and Ling Tian walked slowly in the rain. Ling Tian then saw the passersby rushing over, and he recalled the same scene in the previous world. At that moment, Ling Tian suddenly felt a hint of fear in his heart. It was as if he could barely distinguish his dream from reality, as if his presence in this world was nothing more than a long dream. He felt as if he was still in that gloomy past and future.


However, what Ling Chen felt was far from Ling Tian's sadness. Ling Chen was filled with gentleness and happiness. In a light drizzle, she held her lover's hand and walked slowly. Ling Chen felt as if everything around him, even the dark sky, the breeze, the endless rain, and the passers-by were filled with poetic intent.


“Free floating flower petals light as a dream, endless drizzle thin as worries.” Ling Chen muttered these two lines with a serious expression on his face. The more he thought about it, the more he felt as if these two lines of poetry were both dreamy and mystical, but real and hollow. It was filled with a very subtle dream feeling, perfectly suited to the current weather! “Young nobles, these two lines are really amazing! Did you make it yourself?”


At this moment, Ling Tian felt as if his soul was being expelled from his body, fusing with a gentle drizzle and drifting in the rain. He felt as if he was looking at the world in an indifferent manner. Such feelings cannot be explained. As she heard what Ling Chen asked her, she replied without thinking, “Ya.”


After answering his question, he felt as if he had finally woken up from his dream and looked towards Ling Chen. He then saw his face full of happiness and joy overflowing from his soul, looking towards him emotionally with a pair of satisfied and blessed eyes. Facing Ling Tian's fiery gaze, he lowered his head in shame. However, he suddenly raised his head boldly and looked into Ling Tian's eyes with a pair of burning eyes.


Ling Tian sighed lightly and grabbed Ling Chen's waist, pulling him into his embrace! From today on, there will only be one Ling Tian in this world! Let the original Ling Tian and Ling Tian from my previous world disappear with the rain!


“Very beautiful rain; like poetry, like paintings, like dreams, and like illusions. It makes a person drunk and sentimental. The most beautiful part was the accompaniment of my beautiful wife who lived life with me. In this life, what more can I ask for?” Quickly hiding all his emotions, Ling Tian laughed and hugged Ling Chen, walking forward with a relaxed expression.


Ling Chen smiled shyly and looked towards Ling Tian with his beautiful eyes. In his heart, he felt as if the young noble seemed to have just lost something. Or perhaps, he seemed to have obtained something, which was completely different from before. However, he did not know what was different about him. So, he chuckled and thought, young noble is going to be a young noble, what kind of difference can there be?


Sensing the strong wrist on his waist radiating warmth, Ling Chen slipped into the people who were rushing around him and realized that none of them were paying attention to them. She then could not help but lean into the arms of the man she loved …


Ling Tian's expression was clearly much more relaxed than before. At that moment, he was finally separated from his previous life and he felt as if he had finally let go of a heavy burden! It was as if his soul was unshackled, dancing in the rain and singing loudly…


As the light drizzle landed, it felt like a mother's gentle consolation, and also like a lover's gentle embrace. At that moment, Ling Tian felt as if his entire soul and body were washed clean, making him feel extremely refreshed.


At this moment, the two white-clothed teenagers caught the attention of Ling Chen and Ling Tian! The first one was a tall man, only a few inches shorter than Ling Tian at most and could definitely be said to be very suave. Walking in the rain, he looked as if he was detached from the secular world, as if he was a tall and arrogant bamboo hanging on the side of a cliff. A unique charisma emanated from his body, as if he would remain a lonely existence even if he stood among thousands of people, the only one that would be the focus of everyone!


By his side, while the other white-clothed man was also handsome, his appearance paled in comparison to the taller white-clothed man! Furthermore, light makeup could be seen all over her face.


With a single glance, Ling Tian knew that the two of them were male and female partners as well! Furthermore, Ling Tian noticed that the two were not stained by dirt at all despite walking in the rain. Both of them were clearly martial arts experts as well! Occasionally, a glimmer of light was seen passing through the woman's eyes, but the man's eyes were calm from start to finish, without showing the slightest hint of radiance!


As Ling Chen and Ling Tian studied them, they also studied Ling Chen and Ling Tian. At the same time, both of their eyes revealed traces of appreciation. However, the traces of appreciation were filled with pride, as if they were looking down from above and it was an honor for Ling Chen and Ling Tian to be appreciated by the two of them.


With his naturally graceful elegance and friendly appearance, Ling Tian was naturally extremely eye-catching. Moreover, Ling Chen was a beauty who overthrew the country, looking as if she came out of a painting. Her white dress floated in the rain, looking as if she was a fairy who had descended from heaven and was walking around in the vast moon palace. As the two walked together, they looked like a pair made in heaven and were definitely outstanding individuals!


How could Ling Chen and Ling Tian not attract the attention of others?


“What an amazing young noble, beautiful woman!” The white-clothed man looked towards Ling Chen and Ling Tian, saying a few words of praise. As his clear eyes looked towards Ling Chen and Ling Tian, they were filled with appreciation and shock. But when he looked towards Ling Chen, a strange glint could be seen, as if filled with envy but filled with something else.


“Ah ah, that's right! What an amazing young noble, a very beautiful woman!” Ling Tian replied with a smile, repeating the same words back to the two of them. When he said ‘extraordinary young nobleman’, he looked at the white-clothed man. When she said ‘very beautiful women’, she saw a woman dressed like a man. Ling Tian's meaning was simple, he told the other party that he had seen through the woman's disguise.


The white-clothed youth seemed to be unperturbed, laughing out loud. Ling Tian could feel something wrong about the laughter, making him feel a little uncomfortable. However, Ling Tian could not explain what was wrong. The young man then walked forward, opening the fan with ‘shuah’. After gently flapping the fan, he said with a smile, “You two have an amazing attitude and are truly outstanding individuals! I wonder if I can find out your name?”


Ling Tian felt that things were getting even stranger by the minute. This white-clothed youth was definitely not from Sky Bearing and definitely recognized him. Otherwise, why would this young man approach her for no apparent reason? Furthermore, this young man had a strange and unfathomable feeling. While this young man looked graceful and courteous, Ling Tian felt that he was very pretentious! Moreover, it seemed inappropriate for him to wave a fan in the rain!


232


Ling Tian scanned his face and found that although his facial features were well proportioned, with perfect skin, he looked somewhat flat, with a smile that seemed to be forced on his face. After sweeping and piecing together all the clues, he also received a shock. Could this person also be undercover? And he even went so far as to use a human skin mask?! Only a human skin mask could produce such a realistic effect, right?


The method of making human skin masks was also known to Ling Tian, but such a method involved the direct cutting of the skin of others, he said, and Ling Tian had no intention of engaging in such cruel and inhuman behavior. Furthermore, their concealment methods here were quite primitive, usually seen on their own at first glance, so there was no need to go that far. To think that he would meet someone today where he could not distinguish his disguise from his true self!


“This person is named Ling Tian, how should I call this young noble here?” Ling Tian did not reveal any hints on his face as he spoke. Whatever scheme this person might have, just taking into account the fact that this person might have a high cultivation level and have come to the Sky Bearing, how could Ling Tian not be wary?


“Ah, so it is the famous young noble Ling Tian! This person actually has three karmic lucky periods to be able to meet you. The name of this person is a little vulgar, surnamed Qian, Qian ShuiRou.” The young man laughed as he replied.


Qian Shui Rou's? If you keep hiding in the water, I'll throw a bath bomb at you! 1 Ling Tian secretly cursed, but politely replied to the gesture, “So it's brother Qian.” As they spoke, the cross-dressed woman on the side of Qian ShuiRou suddenly glanced at Ling Tian, and a strange expression of vigilance and caution appeared on his face. On the other hand, his expression towards Ling Chen was many times warmer. Ling Tian caught his expression and could not help but think that it was strange.


“The planned meeting cannot be as fun as a coincidence. To be able to meet under the poetic scenery tonight, this should be considered an exhilarating opportunity! Could it be that we can have a cup to celebrate?” This Qian ShuiRou was a relaxed person, immediately pointing to a tavern not far from them, his tone seemed to allow no rejection. At the same time, the way he gestured spoke of his innate arrogance, as if he was looking down on the masses.


Ling Tian's mind revolved as he considered the situation, immediately adapting as he smiled in response, “Following one's precepts is the most sincere form of respect, the most sincere form of respect, and to be able to meet a hero like brother Qian is exactly like me, Ling Tian, has been searched!” He thought, It seems like this Qian ShuiRou is the successor of his generation to the martial family! Such natural talent and arrogance was not something that could be brought up in a new rich family or a small aristocratic family!


As the saying goes, ‘ takes three generations to wear, and five generations to eat’. Such a personality cannot be developed and developed unless one is born and raised in that environment! Ling Tian started to get curious about his true identity.


The four of them entered the tavern by the roadside, and under Ling Tian's observation, he discovered another peculiarity of Qian ShuiRou, which was not the case, that she likes to stare at this foggy and rainy weather that looks outside! As he walked to the bar, he sat down on a chair by the window, directly facing the window. Ling Tian pondered, People like this are usually melancholic, with a lot of sadness and grief. Can this be considered his fault? If we ever cross paths as enemies, this information can be put to good use!


When it came to ordering dishes, the two men browsed the menu once, but Ling Tian handed the final decision to Qian ShuiRou. After ordering some light dishes, he ordered a bottle of wine ‘Fragrant Osmanthus’. This caused Ling Tian to laugh at himself, It seems like this is the case of a man who was fed up of eating such a heavy delicacy.


“Rain floats in a sheet of blue sky, and the worries of the mortal world are very heavy; pouring a cup of plum blossom wine, one's heart melts with rain to nothing! ” As soon as she finished her first cup, Qian ShuiRou glanced out the window, a misty expression on her face as she lightly sighed and read.


Ling Tian gave a start, and after a while of pondering over the poem, he praised loudly, “Good poem! Great literary talent! Thinking that Brother Qian is actually an expert in pens and swords, to come out with such a poem all of a sudden, Ling Tian admired you!” Instead, a look of disdain appeared in Ling Chen's eyes. Calling the poem nice would be a little difficult, but compared to Ling Tian's two phrases just now, be it antithesis or intentional phrasing of words, they were miles apart, almost like heaven and earth, they were, and it cannot be spoken from within the same breath.


Sweeping his gaze around, Qian ShuiRou immediately noticed Ling Chen's disgusted gaze. Being a proud person, he could not help but smile gently as he said, “I believe the women here must be very talented in the literary arts, thus giving me a look of disgust. Haha, will you advise me?”


Ling Chen glanced at Ling Tian, but after not receiving any response, he continued, “While the young noble Qian was able to make such a poem, when compared to my young noble, he continued, your poetry is lacking. However, I am poorly educated and do not have the authority to guide you, so I cannot offer you detailed criticism. ”


Qian ShuiRou's eyes sparkled as he replied, “Then I'm ready to listen.” However, in his tone there was a hint of uncertainty. One should know that he is reminiscing about the memories of the past, and randomly brings up something. Although it did not resemble a statue made by a master, he was already quite happy with it. However, it seemed based on Ling Chen's tone that Ling Tian was even taller than him! How can he be happy about this?


Ling Chen glanced at Ling Tian with an adoring gaze, before slightly opening his mouth to recite in an uncontrollable manner, “The free-floating petals were light as a dream, drizzling endless thin as worry. This is the work of my young noble house. May Young Noble Qian please dissect it. ”


Qian ShuiRou lowered his head and muttered the two phrases of the poem repeatedly. The more he did, the more he felt that this poem was too beautiful for words, giving him a light and airy feeling as if he had cleansed himself of mortal dust. Compared to his own poetry, the two of them could not even be mentioned in a single breath! He couldn't help but sweat when he thought that he had tried to impress them with his slightly literary talent just now. He could not help but be embarrassed and force a laugh, “Indeed, there is always a heaven beyond heaven, and someone beyond everyone. Young Noble Ling's poem is enigmatic, and this brother cannot compare!”


Just when Qian ShuiRou lowered his head, Ling Tian saw something. Qian ShuiRou's hands were tanned, yet his face was somewhat pale. However, when he lowered his head, the skin around his nape sparkled like jade, pure white like snow! Looking at his hair, Ling Tian was able to observe that each of his strands were glossy black, and now that they were closer to each other, he indistinctly smelled a refreshing scent emanating from him, and now that they were closer to each other, he indistinctly smelled a refreshing scent emanating from it, like musk orchid.


Ling Tian fell silent in surprise, finally understanding the situation. This guy is a woman! While Ling Chen was beside him, the scent he emitted was the scent of daffodils, a completely different scent! And the cross-dressing woman sat opposite him on the table, making it too far for Ling Tian to interact well with him, meaning that the scent did not come from him.


After processing her thoughts, she realized that Qian ShuiRou should also be a noble lady in disguise! Both should be masters and servants. No wonder Qian ShuiRou pretended to take out a fan and hold it in front of himself, probably to prevent his chest from opening. As for the cross-dressing woman who gave him a strange look, it was because she was wary that she would move on the woman of her house!


The corner of Ling Tian's mouth smiled, as he said, “Sister Qian was too polite, your poem just now was also a masterpiece, it's just that this little girl doesn't know how to appreciate it and refute you. . I should have asked you to forgive me!”


Qian ShuiRou laughed in embarrassment as he replied, “Displaying a bit of my skills in front of an expert, humiliating myself; this brother here now knows the meaning behind those words. I am really embarrassed, and this woman here is just quick with her tongue and intelligence, so how dare I be offended?


Ling Tian also laughed in response. “May I ask where Brother Qian came from? I don't think you're from Sky Bearing, do you? For someone with your status, even if my ears are not well informed, I think I will hear about you!”


A light flashed past Qian ShuiRou's eyes, and he simply calmly replied, “This brother here is a nobody, so how can I enter the eyes of young noble Ling?” He immediately diverted the question without leaving any clues!


Ling Tian was also stunned speechless. He thought that this person was a famous talent from the XiMen family, but since this person was a woman, then he put the possibility aside. If they were not from the XiMen family, then this Qian ShuiRou would definitely not be someone currently residing within the Sky Bearing, or with the possibility of them making contact, he would definitely reveal his name! Which noble family did this person come from?


He suddenly felt as if the chaos hovering above the Sky Bearing had just been several inches thicker and involuntarily had his brows furrowed.


The time it took to eat quickly passed, and as if looking at Ling Tian's intentions, Qian ShuiRou became even more cautious, even with Ling Tian's repeated examinations, as he looked at his intentions, he couldn't get anything important.


Towards the end of their ‘ exhilarating’ meal, while Ling Tian still looked calm, Qian ShuiRou could feel that his mental state was almost destroyed. Every question from Ling Tian had a hidden side in it, and if he was led blindly by it, he would definitely fall into a trap! Therefore, every sentence spoken had to be repeated several times for himself before he dared to speak. Such food, he thought, was worse than fighting with several experts at once!


Seeing that the meal was about to end, Ling Tian took the initiative to say goodbye. Qian ShuiRou also sighed in relief and got up to send Ling Tian away. As they parted ways, Ling Tian suddenly smiled as he said, “The mountains are high and the rivers are long, I will definitely meet Brother Qian once again! Please take care of yourself!” With a happy laugh, he turned around and left.


233


Qian ShuiRou's eyes flashed with a cold gaze as he said with a fist, “Sister Ling, hope your trip is safe!”


As he cupped his fists, dense waves of internal energy were sent to Ling Tian's back. In the short meal they had, Ling Tian had attacked with him on defense, and he was already very depressed over it. However, he never imagined that Ling Tian would leave so soon after just ending their conversation! This made Qian ShuiRou, who wanted to look for an opportunity to retaliate, even more depressed. Ever since he was young, he had been praised as a peerless talent and had never suffered such a miserable defeat before. Now that he saw Ling Tian leave, he could not help but send out a probing attack!


Even if he were to lose in the scientific arts, he would definitely have to make Ling Tian lose face with his martial arts!


Ling Tian continued walking gracefully as if he felt nothing, but Ling Chen who was behind Ling Tian turned around with a smile and flicked his sleeves, “How can we trouble young noble Qian to send us away? We thank you for your goodwill and may the young noble return!” A gentle inner Qi was sent out from his sleeves, like a gentle wave crashing down the beach!


When the two soft waves of inner Qi collided, not a single commotion was visible and the wave was completely undone. However, the rain around them disappeared completely! The rain around Qian ShuiRou turned into mist while the rain around Ling Chen turned into ice! This exchange ends with no winners or losers!


Qian ShuiRou's clothes fluttered slightly and his body trembled slightly. He then could not help but stare at Ling Chen with shock in his eyes, along with the excitement of finding a worthy opponent.


After the two waves of inner Qi collided, Ling Chen left with Ling Tian without looking back. A laugh could then be heard from the rain curtain as Ling Chen and Ling Tian fused with the scene and were no longer visible.


“Muda... nobility, are you okay? So he's Ling Tian? But young noble, why did you let him go? Isn't he one of our targets in this round? Why do young nobles not..” Women dressed as men ask doubtfully.


“Hai!” Qian ShuiRou sighed deeply, “No wonder!” However, he did not bother to answer that question and went into deep thought with a frown on his face. I truly never expected that Ling Tian was such an incredible individual! It seems like our goal this time might not be achieved!


Who would have thought that the random servant by his side would have such an incredible martial art! Looking towards Ling Tian and Ling Chen disappearing, Qian ShuiRou recalled how Ling Tian seemed to be strongly emphasizing the words of the ‘ Qian’ brothers in a meaningful tone. Qian ShuiRou then could only murmur, “Don't say...has he seen my disguise? That's not true. Is his ability really above mine?”


Thinking of this, his eyebrows suddenly became straight as his eyes shone with a majestic look, “No way! Even if Ling Tian is from Beyond Heavens, I can't believe he can win over me! I must definitely kill him!”


“How is he?” Ling Tian turned around and asked Ling Chen while wiping the raindrops off his face.


“Very strong! Really very strong!” Ling Chen's eyes were serious, “From that small exchange, Chen’er was confident that his inner strength was definitely above me. I could only eliminate the force of the collision by taking a few steps back. However, he was able to receive 70% of my full strength without even moving a single step.”


Ling Tian nodded his head and said, “Let the Violent Wind Gang watch these two individuals. However, they should not get into conflict with any of them. The girl's martial arts were not weak and Ling San would not be a match for her. In fact, if you two were to engage in a fair fight, you wouldn't be his opponent either!”


“Girl?” Ling Chen asked, “Qian ShuiRou is a woman?”


Ling Tian nodded his head and laughed, “A pair of girls!” he then continued, “Chen’er-ku should be more confident. If she's not a girl, how can she take her eyes off you so easily?”


“Young nobleman .. you are really too naughty!” Ling Chen's face flushed red as he hit Ling Tian, ”You made it sound as if I was ..” as he said that, he didn't want to finish his sentence and continued to hammer Ling Tian, not wanting to, ”You are too naughty. , too naughty!” At the same time, he felt uneasy in his heart, Am I really weaker than him?


As the two walked back to the Ling residence, Long Xiang who was here to visit Ling Ran had returned to the palace. Knowing that Old Madam Ling was with Ling Ran, Ling Tian took the name list and went to look for her.


Seeing Ling Tian arrive, Princess JiaoYue's face reddened as she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. Therefore, he hid behind Old Madam Ling.


Hearing that Ling Tian had entered, Chu Ting’er snorted dissatisfiedly and asked, “Where are you going? When the Emperor summoned you just now, you actually could not be found anywhere! You are really capable now, right ?! ”


Ling Tian replied with ‘err’ and said nothing more. However, Ling Ran who was in bed chuckled, “It's okay for a young man to like to play around. How is this a big deal? Since when did Tian’er stay at home anyway. Brother-in-law, you are controlling Tian’er too tightly. Moreover, the emperor was Tian’er's uncle, and he would definitely not be angry at Ling Tian. Furthermore, Tian’er did a great service yesterday, and the emperor has yet to reward him.”


Ling Tian replied with a smile, “How can it be considered a merit to save my own aunt? It was just right for me to do it. ”


Ling Ran replied with a smile. Before she got the chance to say anything, Chu Ting’er had already spoken, “Tian’er, do you know? The Emperor had just promised that if your aunt's son was a boy, he would be appointed the next ruler of the Sky Bearings. In other words, the crown prince. Your aunt went crazy for the excitement. ”


Ling Ran's face reddened with a worried look on his face, “We still don't know the gender of the child. Who knew if this boy was a boy?”


Ling Tian was stunned for a moment, “What about the current crown prince?”


Chu Ting’er then replied as if it was only logical, “Of course his title will be revoked. How can ab*st*rd like he's worth running Sky Bearing? Tian’er, to think a little idiot like you would ask such a simple question.”


A cold gaze was seen in his eyes as Ling Tian replied with a simple ‘oh’. At the same time, he thought to himself, What is Long Xiang planning to do? Don't tell me…


Ling Ran then turned to Old Lady Ling and said, “Mother, now that I am in such a state, I will not be able to serve the emperor for at least a year. Moreover, the emperor had many other concubines, and .. Now that the emperor has finally decided to make such a promise, I fear that there will be many changes in the palace without me around.


Old Madam Ling could not help but glance at Ling Tian as she asked, “Then do you think what should we do?”


Ling Ran then helped himself and said, “Just now, the emperor is talking to me and saying that he wants to choose another group of beautiful women to take to the palace. After thinking about it, why didn't our Ling residence send some beautiful women to the palace as well? If they can get the emperor's help, then our Ling Family will also have support in the days when I am not present. I wonder what mom thinks of that?”


Before Old Madam Ling got the chance to speak, Ling Tian had already asked, “According to auntie, who should we send?” Ling Tian's words were a little cold. Ever since Ling Ran talked about choosing a group of beautiful women to the palace, Ling Tian understood what Long Xiang was thinking. A ball of fire then burned in his heart!


Old Madam Ling quickly turned around and sent an eye signal to Ling Ran, telling him to stop talking about the matter. However, Ling Ran did not notice it and replied excitedly, “From the way I saw it, some of the women in sister-in-law's place are not too bad. Especially that from Tian’er page.”.


When he said that the faces of everyone present became ugly. Especially Princess JiaoYue's face became extremely pale! Princess JiaoYue had heard Ling Tian declare clearly in the palace, “She is my wife!” Now that he had heard what his mother had said, he knew there would definitely be something wrong! In the past, he had no idea about Ling Tian's strength and thought that he was nothing more than silk pants. However, he now knew that Ling Tian possessed extraordinary strength and vaguely seemed to have the intention to rule the world! For his mother to say something like that, it was extremely inappropriate!


The next moment, the atmosphere in the room became tense until it was difficult for one to breathe. Ling Ran could not help but stop in shock as he looked at everyone's faces with worry in his heart.


Old Madam Ling and Chu Ting’er had long known that Ling Tian and Ling Chen both loved each other. From the very beginning, the two had already secretly accepted Ling Chen. If not for Ling Chen's status being too low, Ling Chen's appearance, character, and talent were more than suitable to be Ling Tian's wife! But regardless, both Old Madam Ling and Chu Ting’er had already seen Ling Chen as someone who belonged to Ling Tian! In other words, the Ling Family had recognized Ling Chen as their daughter-in-law!


Now that Ling Ran mentioned this matter, how could their faces not be ugly? When Ling Ran mentioned this matter, Old Madam Ling had the heart to stop him. However, before he had the chance to do anything, Ling Ran was already blabbering.


Without waiting for others to say anything, Ling Tian suddenly burst into laughter. However, his laughter was filled with powerful killing intent, making the hair stand on top of everyone present!


“Auntie, was this your idea? Or is this... emperor idea?” Ling Tian asked with a smile. While he was still smiling, an evil look could be seen in his eyes! As Princess JiaoYue glanced at Ling Tian, she felt a chill run down her spine and felt as if she was inside the fridge! His whole body must have felt like it was frozen.


234


Seeing Ling Tian's expression, Ling Ran could not help feeling that the situation was getting out of control, and could only carefully reply, “This? No matter whose idea it was, this matter was not a bad thing, right? That should be a good thing for our Ling Family!”


Ling Tian laughed out loud, and cut it short as his face became colder, “If it was Aunt's idea, then I would pretend I never heard it; but if it was Long Xiang's idea, hehehe… then he must be bored of life! A small emperor of a small kingdom, he was akin to an egg! For me to face it is as easy as slaughtering a chicken!” Ling Tian spat out viciously, his voice filled with disdain.


The moment those words came out of his mouth, the entire room became silent!


Ling Tian actually called out the name of the Emperor in front of the Empress and Royal Princess? And he didn't even try to hide it? Especially the sentence after that, was he tired of living? What kind of crime is that?!


“What kind of courage do you have to say such a thing ?!” Waves of anger flowed through Ling Ran. Looking at the niece he had spoiled since young he was furious. His face flushed red as he shouted, “How dare you actually say such blasphemous words! Aren't you afraid that our entire family will be annihilated ?! ” By the side, Princess JiaoYue looked at Ling Tian with terrified eyes, completely frightened by his presence!


“Destroying our whole family?” A crazy laugh came from Ling Tian's mouth. “HA HA HA.


Chu Ting’er shared a glance with Old Madam, both of them expressing helpless looks; they had long expected such a response from Ling Tian. Chu Ting’er hurriedly calmed Ling Ran down, “Server, Ling Chen is not an ordinary person. Besides having great martial arts, she had also long been the concubine of Tian’er! When we went to save you, Chen’er also tried hard, and he could even be said to be your savior! The Emperor had long known that Chen’er had a husband. He had already questioned Ling Chen's origin when we returned to the palace. Maybe it's because you're unconscious that you don't hear anything. ”


“Ah?!” Ling Ran turned pale from fear. This was clearly Long Xiang's fault! Regardless of how beautiful and outstanding Ling Chen was, he ended up belonging to someone else! And that was even his own nephew! Especially since Long Xiang was the king of a country! Drooling for beauty was no big deal, but to snatch the concubine of one of his subjects, wouldn't that make him the laughingstock of the century? How could he maintain his dignity as a king? If the officials in the court knew about this, how would they react?!


This was especially the case for the sole successor of the Sky Bearing family top, concubine Ling Tian! This was akin to screwing his own nephew! Once word got out, how big would the waves be? And how could the Ling Family accept such humiliation? Hand over their future concubines on a golden plate? After this matter explodes, the Ling Family will definitely be enraged!


With the Sky Bearing now in a state similar to a pedestrian on a balancing rope in the air, how could it contain the anger of the Ling Family? It would cause the destruction of ordinary stones and jade!


While Ling Ran belonged to the Ling Family, he was unclear about the current strength of the Ling Family, and also overestimated the strength of the Imperial Court. If the Ling Family were to truly rebel now, Long Xiang would most likely have no choice but to step down and abdicate!


“Haha, what an amazing plan! First grant the Princess, to obtain the position of first lady of the Ling Family; next is to grant the title of crown prince to the newborn son, to obtain the assistance of the Ling Family, to obtain the assistance of the Ling Family, and thoroughly locked the young and old generation in its place. Finally it was a matter of asking the Empress to bring a graceful woman to enter the palace, knowing that she would bring her own family. Then he would be able to snatch the peerless beauty from his own nephew, and completely satisfy his desire.The three birds in one stone, respectfully, very respectfully!” Ling Tian sighed in praise as he continued, “The Emperor's mind is really thinking fast! Even if things didn't work out, he could attack and defend as he pleased, and with the crown prince left in the family, he could attack and defend at will, he believed that no family would want to miss this opportunity for a skyrocketing resurrection; and while they would not be happy, they would still survive! Auntie, don't you agree?” Ling Tian warmly smiled at Ling Ran as he asked.


Ling Ran now fully understood the reason Ling Tian was retreating! If another man comes to you and snatches your woman, you will probably have the same reaction! Seeing Ling Tian's warm smile, Ling Ran couldn't help but shiver, and not caring about her dignity as Empress, immediately stuttered, “Tian’er, the matter isn't like this, Aunty does not know that you .. you and Ling Chen already..”.


“I'm sure you're really stupid,” Ling Tian interrupts, “But your husband must have noticed! Since he dared to make a move, hahaha, Auntie, this matter does not end here alone! If you ask me as the Royal Empress, it won't be too offensive, but if you come from my aunt's point of view to ask for such a thing from me, hehe, yet one could detect something that was about to explode from within him!


Ling Tian stood up and turned around to get out of the room. Without turning around, he coldly continued, “Actually, I don't mind letting the child in your belly seat on the throne before he is born! After all, a part of him was draining the blood of my Ling family!” Waves of killing intent were pressing out from Ling Tian's body!


While Ling Tian's figure was getting further and further away, within Ling Ran's heart, he appeared to be a mountain that covered the heavens and earth, pressing down from above, making it difficult for one to breathe!


“Brother Tian!” Princess Jiao Yue felt as if her heart had broken into seven or eight segments, her face pale and bloodless as her body threatened to collapse! As he heard Ling Tian say ‘giving a daughter to secure the title of first wife’, his heart felt like it was cut off. While she knew that she was just a pawn in her father's hands that used to win over her people, but heard it from her younger cousin, even more so her future husband, it caused his vision to darken and he almost fainted in grief!


A complicated gaze passed through Ling Tian's face, but he did not turn around. “Peace in Ling's house, cousin; when that day comes when you don't want to be a pawn anymore, I'll give you the happiness you want. Actually, the thing I hate the most is to always be under the control of others, and I believe that is also for you!”


When he finished, Ling Tian's shadow suddenly disappeared from the stairs!


Princess Jiao Yue stood dumbfounded on the stairs, two streams of tears streaming down her cheeks! If this is not the case, perhaps after marriage to the family, as long as he tries enough, the two can still be in sync, living together in harmony and happiness! He knew recently that his cousin Ling Tian was actually just hiding behind the ‘ nameplate, but was actually fluent in character, literary talent, as well as martial arts! Isn't such a man a dream husband to many women?


However, with the matter today, Princess Jiao Yue was stuck in between, unable to do anything!  his father, as well as his mother's suggestion, immediately caused himself to be humiliated in the Ling Family! All his fantasies about a life of fascination with the man in his life, all disappearing with the wind!


“Ai! Look at you!” Old Madam Ling could not help but sigh at Ling Ran, “You are really stupid, but just have to be a spokesperson! Now that Ling Tian was truly moved to act out of anger, this matter would not be easily resolved! ”


Chu Ting’er coldly snorted in response. “How can this problem be blamed on Tian’er? How hard is the crime of taking someone else's wife? So what if he was the emperor? Now that the flames of war had begun, what could a small country do? Who knows, maybe at the end of the war, the Sky Bearings will disappear! He actually dared to think with his p*nis, this showed that he had actually pitted himself against Tian’er. Therefore, he must prepare for revenge! Tian’er was already restraining himself. If it was Brother Xiao, hmph, he would have long killed his way to the palace! ”


Pausing for a moment, Chu Ting’er ruthlessly continued, “When our family rebels, then Sky Bearing will be the first to fall! At that time, I will see if he still has to think of Tian’er's wife. Haha, he thinks the Ling Family is a submissive? Even if Tian’er didn't say anything, I definitely wouldn't agree! Even if I have to make a fuss in the palace hall, I also want to ask, which imperial court has the king's rule of seizing the subject's wife! ”


Chu Ting’er had fully sided with his son, and took the opportunity to add pressure on Ling Ran. While everyone knew that this was not the best time to rebel against the emperor, even if they did, the Imperial Court would be unable to do anything about it! It was best if Ling Ran could only suppress this matter, but if he could not, then based on Ling Tian's temperament, the Sky Bearing could prepare to have a change in the dynasty! However, how far the Ling Family could go based on the raging war flames was now nowhere to be seen!


However, how could one expect Ling Ran's face to turn pale after Chu Ting’er spoke, instantly fainting!


While the Ling family had their doubts, the worry for the Imperial Family was even greater! When Long Xiang visited today, he casually asked about Ling Chen's identity of Ling Ran. Not being told, he told him that Ling Chen was only Ling Tian's servant! This made Long Xiang very excited, while the servant and concubine only had a word difference, this word meant the difference between heaven and earth! Therefore, he immediately asked for some women to be sent to the imperial palace, and hinted one of them was Ling Chen.


Furthermore, after Ling Tian revealed his strength, Long Xiang had gathered some court officials to discuss, and they concluded with Ye QingChen's visit that Ling Tian should be the hidden successor to the Beyond Heavens Sect! Being disciples meant that they could not involve themselves in the affairs of the country, and were even more unable to go against the Imperial Family. Therefore, Long Xiang loosened his guard against the Ling Family! He thought that even if they had ambitions, they still had Beyond Heavens to stop them!


With all these factors put together, Long Xiang felt safe behind the strong backers! But little did he know that this was a fortuitous tactic caused by Ye QingChen! This misunderstanding would make him commit the worst mistake of his life, and also the biggest reason why the Sky Bearing collapsed in the future!

Just when Ling Ran was worried about Yang Xue taking a chance when he and unable to ‘loved’, he heard the suggestion that Long Xiang had put forward. It could be said to be the perfect plan and he agreed without hesitation. The way he saw it, Ling Chen was nothing more than a servant in the Ling residence and it was a common practice for noble families like them to give their servants. Why is there a need to create a big problem? Furthermore, if Ling Chen could be favored by the emperor in the palace, Ling Chen's status would greatly increase and it was definitely an incredible opportunity. Even if his position was threatened in the future because of Ling Chen, Ling Chen was still a servant sent from their Ling Family. It would definitely be easy for him to take care of Ling Chen! At this moment, this was clearly a good move to deal with Yang Xue in the palace. Ling Ran thought that the moment he suggested this plan, everyone would agree without hesitation. However, he never expected to make a beehive by making such a suggestion!


He had never dreamed of the fact that Ling Chen was Ling Tian's concubine! Furthermore, Ling Chen had saved his life!


To think that her husband was nothing more than a pervert against his own nephew's concubine! He was actually very supportive of something like this in his ignorance and was at odds with Ling Tian over this matter! Now, Long Xiang's despicable actions and his ungrateful actions gave him a bad reputation that was hard to deny!


If this matter were to be spread, how big would the scandal be? How could Ling Ran accept such a scandal? His originally weak body could no longer endure the embarrassment and anger and he fainted on the spot.


Everyone became anxious and quickly placed him in bed. Chu Ting’er then stabbed him several times right under his nose and Ling Ran gradually regained consciousness. When she woke up, she cried, crying with all her might because she had never felt this kind of shame before in her life.


Princess JiaoYue's heart turned sour as the sadness in her heart also exploded. Princess JiaoYue then started moaning and dived into Ling Ran's chest, crying as much as she could with Ling Ran.


While this mother and child couple were crying together, the reason they were crying was very different. Being someone from a noble family and empress in the palace, how could Ling Ran survive without a plan? As she cried, she began to set her mind about the entire affair. While the child in his womb had the chance to become the crown prince, if he did not have the support of the Ling Family or if the Ling Family weakened, this was certainly impossible! Furthermore, he was also a member of the Ling Family and his fate was entangled with the family!


While he was wrong today, the problem only resulted from a combination of many strange factors. First up was Long Xiang. While he should not have acted against his nephew's own wife, his own lack of obedience was also to blame. He had made a hasty decision before he was convinced of the situation. It was the combination of all these things that caused the anger of the Ling Family. While this incident was extremely damaging to the reputation of the imperial family, there were only a few people who were aware of it! As long as he could calm down his family members, it would definitely be easy for him to suppress this incident! None of them wanted the matter to be made public since the matter concerned the faces of both parties.


As for Long Xiangs full thoughts, they should definitely be eliminated! Otherwise, judging from Ling Tian's reaction today, it was no wonder for him to be angry at Ling Chen! Especially the fact that Ling Tian was very likely to be an Beyond Heavens disciple, how could a thin emperor compare to such a status? If Ling Ran knew that Ling Chen was Ling Tian's concubine, he would immediately reject Long Xiang's suggestion!


But it is too late to regret.  Long Xiang had caused a huge rift between him and Ling Tian! In order to repair their relationship, a great price and effort had to be paid! Furthermore, his own daughter was already nothing more than a chess piece in Ling Tian's heart. Now that Long Xiang had betrothed Princess JiaoYue to Ling Tian, this matter could no longer be changed! This would definitely affect the happiness of his own daughter! If he caused his daughter suffering because of this incident, how could he live with himself? While the imperial family was heartless, Ling Ran only had a single daughter. If she personally ruined Princess JiaoYue's lifelong happiness, she would definitely regret it for a lifetime!


Ling Ran was convinced that he had to suppress this matter quickly and calm Ling Tian's anger! While Ling Tian was exaggerating with his words and it could definitely be considered treason, Ling Ran had to put himself in Ling Tian's position. How could there be a man in this world who accepted his wife being snatched away? Even if Long Xiang was the emperor, there was no reason for him to do anything he liked! At this point, Ling Ran could not help but curse Long Xiang in his heart!


Old Madam Ling then stood up slowly and said in a gentle tone, “Ran’er, your imperial family must definitely resolve this matter regarding Ling Chen quickly! You haven't been home too often over the last few years and there are things that aren't clear to you. But as a mother, I can only give you and the emperor a friendly advice: the Tian’er power is not something you can afford to provoke! Even if you were the master of the Sky Bearing, there would be no such thing as luck! If he really wanted to touch the imperial family, you guys would not have the chance to retaliate at all! If not for his grandfather, father and you, how could the mere Sky Bearing imperial family force Tian’er to hide himself for so many years?


Ling Ran's face changed as he replied, “This child will definitely remember mother's words. However, Tian’er's words were indeed outrageous. As a subject, how could he slander the ruler? If the emperor heard about this, then .. “


Old Madam Ling was stunned for a moment before replying, “Ran’er, you really became a fool for staying in the palace for so many years. Don't you hear me clearly now? The winner is the king and the loser is the thief! This is something that will never change! If Tian’er had any intention of rebelling, the Sky Bearing imperial family would definitely not have the surname Long!”


Ling Ran was surprised, “This empress watched Tian’er grow up and I am sure that I know her well. Why didn't I know that he had such a strong power behind him? Is he really the successor of the number one sect, Beyond Heavens?!”


Old Madam Ling then laughed bitterly, “You know Tian’er well?! Tian’er always knows others well and others do not know Tian’er well! Don't you think that Tian’er was too easy to see in the past? If you are someone with sharp eyesight, you will realize that everyone's understanding of him is different. This is because you will only be able to understand the side that he wants you to see. From young until now, not to mention you, even his parents or I have not fully understood it!”


With Old Madam Ling's experience, she knew that there were many things that she could not tell this daughter anymore. Therefore, he deliberately avoided Ling Ran's question of Ling Tian as the successor of Beyond Heavens.


As Old Madam Ling spoke, she walked towards the exit and sighed, “I have to visit Tian’er, lest she do anything rash! If that happens, it will be late!”


Old Madam Ling had already disappeared from the room but her words ringed in Ling Ran's head like a buzzer echoing! Tian’er's power was enough to shake Long Xiang's rules! Tian’er actually had a strong support at such a young age! Ling Ran knew that his mother would not say something he was not sure of. His mother was clearly not trying to scare him. Furthermore, from the strength that Ling Tian revealed while removing the poison within him, he knew that Ling Tian's strength was not something that ordinary people possessed! It seemed that regardless of whether Ling Tian was the successor of Beyond Heavens, the imperial family needed to adjust their relationship with the Ling Family!


Ling Ran let out a long breath. When she was a daughter of the Ling Family, she was already married and became someone else's wife. Moreover, she even had a child in her womb. While Long Xiang could be considered a competent ruler who had his plans, he still lacked the charisma and courage that a ruler needed! With Long Xiang already being extremely wary of the Ling Family, Ling Ran was in a dilemma if he had to tell Long Xiang about the matter. What kind of reaction would he have if he found out? Did he…


Ling Ran felt helplessness in his heart …


Old Madam Ling managed to find Ling Tian so easily because Ling Tian had never gone too far, waiting for him nearby. Ling Tian knew that his grandmother would definitely come and find him. It's time for a few words to be said. Although this was not the best time, it was still quite a suitable time.


“You little boy!” Old Madam Ling slapped Ling Tian on the shoulder and scolded while laughing, “You really scared your aunt today. His body is still weak and he needs to rest well, but you are really rampaging and taking out your bloodlust. Can't you think about her son? After all, her son is your cousin.”


Ling Tian chuckled before replying with a cold gaze, “Grandmother, you know me very well. I'm not kidding with my aunt right now. This is something you should be very clear about! Why should you be a peacemaker? Since Long Xiang had such thoughts, he deserved to die! I won't let go so easily for sure.”


Old Madam Ling was silent for a while before finally saying, “You should handle this matter carefully. After all, your aunt's son has just been promised the crown prince title. If he's a boy, then..”


Ling Tian sneered, “With grandma's wisdom, how could you not be aware of the fact that chaos is imminent? With the strategic geographical location of Sky Bearings, Sky Bearings will definitely be the target of many kingdoms. Does the position of the thin crown prince really matter? Even if aunt has a son, even if she can become emperor with the support of our Ling Family, then how?”
