Tian’ge?” Yu BingYan looked towards Ling Tian, “What's wrong with you? Why do you put on such a perverted smile? Are you sick?”
“Err ...” Ling Tian gasped from a daze and swallowed a mouthful of saliva before glaring at Yu BingYan, “Omong empty! How could this young noble be perverted? Little girl, don't talk nonsense to ruin the image of this young noble.”
Yu BingYan pursed her lips and muttered, “You are at most only a few days older than me. Why do you always act like you're old and call me ‘little girl’? I am seventeen years old! Right, Tian’ge, I've asked you this many times; how old are you?!”
Ling Tian moved his lips, “Why are you asking about this? You just need to know that I am your Tian’ge. A little girl like you just likes this nonsense. Am I not more talented than the other young nobles? ”
Yu BingYan's voice suddenly became higher, “Sister Chen and I naturally knew about your talent. However, it seems like no one else other than the two of us knows about it. I want to tell the world that Tian’ge is the most prominent person in the world.” He then shook Ling Tian's arm and whined, “Can I? Tiange!” His cry made Ling Tian shudder and he quickly raised his hand to surrender.
“Young master Ling, it looks like you have received an invitation as well. Are you planning to attend that meeting?” A soft voice sounded from the entrance of the courtyard. As the three of them turned their heads to look, they saw Xiao YanXue standing there. She was wearing a light yellow dress, standing near the entrance with a slight smile as her dress fluttered slightly in the breeze.
Traces of shock flashed in Ling Tian's eyes, “This is you? Miss Xiao, why are you here? ”
Yu BingYan, who was eagerly waiting for an answer, saw a trace of shock in Ling Tian's eyes. He then could not help but snort silently and stomp his feet in frustration.
As Xiao YanXue looked at Ling Tian, a complicated expression was seen on his face. It seemed to contain some traces of disgust, but some traces of shock and disbelief. After Ling Tian shocked the entire Sky Bearing City, how could the Xiao Family not know about it? From then on, they all knew that Ling Tian's true strength was unfathomable! It turned out that Xiao FengHan's words were completely true!
Originally, it didn't matter if Ling Tian's martial arts were at a profound level. To the Xiao Family who believed that money could do anything, Miss Xiao would definitely not put Ling Tian in his view if he was just a rude and straightforward man. But in just a few days, the Ling Family made a lightning-fast move to form ‘aliansi’ with the NanGong Family and obliterate all the traitors in their midst! The strength of their Ling Family was still increasing, and the authority of the family had actually passed through the War God and Fortune Goddess, landing right in Ling Tian's hands. How could he not be surprised?
Ever since he was young, Ling Tian had the title of number one silk pants in the Sky Bearing. How much tolerance did he need to endure such a title? At his young age, he was actually able to tolerate the humiliation of the world despite being more talented than his peers. What motive? How could he bear all that without having any ambition? Now that the heroes of the world were gathered in the Sky Bearing, it was time for a storm to appear and Ling Tian actually chose to reveal his current strength! What's the motive for doing that? Why did he not continue to hide himself further?
After seeing Ling Tian today, countless complicated emotions filled Xiao YanXue's head. He could already faintly sense that despite the fact that this teenager in front of him usually wore a calm face, there must be many secrets hiding behind that calm facade! Now, Xiao YanXue had the desire to uncover all of her secrets to see what was going on. With regards to Ling Tian, Xiao YanXue was filled with curiosity!
However, Xiao YanXue was indeed a strategist of his generation. He quickly readjusted his complicated emotions and lightly tapped on the white invitation in his left hand. Smiling, she said, “This sister has also received this invitation. However, I was afraid that I would fool myself, and I was very anxious. I never expected Ling Chen's sister to be talented in so many ways and she was like a scholar among us women. How could I bear to not use talent right in front of me? I would like to invite sister Ling Chen to attend this meeting with me.
Ling Tian replied with a smile, “However, I have also received an invitation and Ling Chen will naturally leave with me. For a housewife like her to not accompany her husband but go to a meeting with another woman, isn't that a little inappropriate?”
Xiao YanXue snorted in frustration. Ling Chen was a fairy-like creature but was actually reduced to a mere ‘housewife’ by Ling Tian. Xiao YanXue felt extremely disturbed upon hearing that and felt angry on behalf of Ling Chen. He then could not help but mock, “Oh, this is the fault of this little sister. I originally thought that with your great talent that young noble Ling would not accept the invitation. Who would have thought a scientific meeting could invite a grandmaster like you? It's amazing.. ah ah ah...”
The meaning of his words was simple: I never imagined that an incompetent sutra like you could also accept an invitation to a scientific meeting; this was simply too amazing! While Xiao YanXue knew that Ling Tian was not a simple silk, wiser than his comrades, and possessed an unfathomable martial art, he did not think that he would be able to excel in the literary arts. After all, how many people were talented in martial arts and literature?
The three of them were naturally able to comprehend the sarcasm in Xiao YanXue's words. Ling Tian was expressionless while Ling Chen revealed a hint of frustration in his eyes. However, he was trained by Ling Tian for many years and had a strong control over his mental state. Thus, a flash of frustration was quickly hidden, and he regained his composure.
On the other hand, Yu BingYan could not accept the sarcasm from Xiao YanXue's words. While the Xiao Family was the number one financial king in the world and was extremely powerful, how could a mere financial king compare to the number one martial family, the Yu Family! While Xiao YanXue was the daughter of the Xiao Family, Yu BingYan was also the only princess in the great Yu Family! By simply comparing their status, his status would definitely be higher than Xiao YanXue's. So, how could he resist someone mocking his lover in front of him?
With a cold sneer, Yu BingYan said, “With Miss Xiao's looks and talent, there will definitely be many ‘’ flower protectors willing to go with you. Do you still need sister Chen's accompaniment? ” His words were rather rude, mocking Xiao YanXue for having the intention to show off.
However, Xiao YanXue was not angry at all as she smiled, “This little sister is just an ugly individual. How can I compare to the little princess of the Yu Family? ”
Ever since he had come to Sky Bearing, Yu BingYan had always appeared with her original hidden appearance. None of them had ever seen his true appearance before and even Ling Tian was no exception. For Xiao YanXue to reply in such a manner, it was no different from him mocking Yu BingYan for being ugly! How could Yu BingYan not read the intent of his words? His eyes reddened in anger as he snorted and entered the room, not coming out anymore.
Ling Tian's face turned cold as his gaze swept over Xiao YanXue's body coldly. After she started to feel uneasy from her gaze, Ling Tian said, “Nona Xiao has inherited good looks and wisdom from your parents, but they should not be compared in such a way. Not only do words pollute our ears, but they also contaminate our own tongues. Miss Xiao should think about your words. ”
Xiao YanXue's face flushed red as she said in an apologetic tone, “I've gone too far now, forgive me.” After he said those words, he felt as if his words were too exaggerated. If Yu BingYan's original appearance was really like that, her words would be too damaging to Yu BingYan's self-esteem. Being scolded as an ugly person in front of her lover, which woman in this world was able to bear it?
Ling Tian never imagined that this little miss who had been pampered since young really knew how to apologize. He was shocked for a moment when he glanced at her again. He then said calmly, “Forget it, does Miss have anything else for me?”
Ling Tian's words had already signaled him to leave! If not for Xiao YanXue apologizing, Ling Tian would probably have immediately sent him out!
Xiao YanXue felt as if she did not have the face to stay any longer and said, “When young noble Ling arrived at Thea Smoky Tower for a meeting, the, You can find me in the Bright Light Room where the Xiao Family lives. . This sister will take him away. ”
While Thea Smoky Tower made arrangements for the various Great Families, she had never seen any special arrangements made for the Ling or Yang Families. If that was the case, wouldn't Ling Tian have to jostle with the crowd? Therefore, he invited Ling Tian to the Xiao Family out of goodwill. After he said those words, he bowed lightly with a smile and wanted to leave.
Ling Tian looked back with a smile that did not seem like a smile and said calmly, “Thank you, Miss Xiao, for your goodwill. However, the Heavenly Fragrance Chamber belonged to the Ling Family.”
It was actually the Heavenly Fragrance Chamber?! The Heavenly Fragrance Room that was never opened to the public?
Originally, Xiao YanXue had thought that the Smoky Thea Tower allowed the various Great Families to stay due to the orders of the Sky Bearing imperial family. Or perhaps, the imperial family paid the Smoky Thea Tower to allow the various Great Families to stay for free. After all, the various Great Families would stay in Sky Bearing for quite a long period of time and the amount of money spent would be huge. Thus, the Heavenly Fragrance Chamber that had never been opened must definitely be kept for the imperial family. Who would have thought that it was actually reserved for the Ling Family? If that was the case, where would the imperial family stay if they participated? What does that Ling Family action mean?! That they were above the imperial family?!
Just when Xiao YanXue was about to speed up, he suddenly stopped. With his back facing Ling Tian, he asked gently, “Young master Ling, that night ... are you the one?”
His words are so unclear. However, due to being involved in this matter, Ling Chen and Ling Tian both knew what Xiao YanXue was asking for. Xiao YanXue clearly asked if Ling Tian was the one who saved him back then.
Xiao YanXue waited for a moment and did not hear an answer. Turning around, he realized that there was no one behind him anymore. With a complicated expression, he bit his lips and thought for a moment, After stomping his feet, he then left the place.
Since ancient times, literary art was the first and martial art the second. The XiMen Family's scientific encounter has triggered a huge wave of excitement in the city. Not to mention the various talented young nobles and misses, even Ling Jian sent word from the Ling Family Courtyard that some brats there were interested in watching the event.
After Ling Tian received the news from Ling Jian, he did not know whether to laugh or cry while Ling Chen held his side while he died from laughing. You guys are a bunch of assassins, why would you want to join in the fun for a scientific meeting? Even if you know how to read and write or have a sense of literature, you are still far from joining a scientific meeting, right?!
247
However, Ling Tian understood the hidden intentions of Ling Jian and the gang. The group just wanted to take this opportunity to recognize all the talents from different noble families. Under Ling Jian's constant upbringing, this group had long regarded all the other noble families as enemies to be cleansed in the future! To have the opportunity to observe them closely, this would allow them to put their future targets into memory, which would save them a lot of time and effort in the future. So, Ling Tian did not object to their request, but added a condition: if anyone were to appear with a flat face that they used to kill, he would kick them out with his feet! Even if they don't know how, they should try!
As for this scientific meeting by the XiMen Family, Ling Tian had high hopes for it! When everyone got together, which families worked together, which families had formed alliances in secret, who was the outstanding talent of their generation, he said, and any kind of spider threads and horse tracks would be clearly visible to Ling Tian. Furthermore, he had a meticulous and intelligent Ling Chen beside him!
As for the XiMen Family, this might have been planned long ago by them, considering XiMen Qing was a fame seeker. Since they had suffered losses, they would definitely have to regain some sort of face, and also pull Ling Tian down by exposing him as an unlearned and savage silk trouser. For someone who had killed XiMen Zhang, this would also allow them to vent their frustration.
As for whether the XiMen Family had other plans, Ling Tian was unaware of them. Thus, he could only play it by ear. However, just for precaution, Ling Tian sent an order to Gu XiYan, telling him to research every dish that would be done, including using a silver needle to dip into each vat of wine before sending it off! Ling Tian had a premonition that the XiMen Family would not let the matter of him killing XiMen Zhang just like that. Furthermore, with the two countries always at war with each other, wouldn't it be better for the one who attacked first? Ling Tian held his chin, silently thinking to himself.
***
In the morning three days later. A gentle breeze blew past, and small clouds dotted the sky. The perfect day.
Ling Tian lazily stretched and sat on his bed, touching beside him out of instinct. However, his hand touched the empty air, then he realized that Ling Chen who was usually curled up like a kitten beside him had disappeared long before he woke up. Being a person with two lives, Ling Tian was not only experienced but also had unceasing demands. After ‘tortured’ by her all night yesterday, that Ling Chen girl was supposed to sleep like a pig today. So why did he wake up so early?
As he opened the door, a gentle breeze blew in. In the east, the clouds are red, the sun is up.
In front of his wine rack, two white-robed women stood side by side, gossiping about something. A hint of a smile appeared on Ling Tian's face as he looked at the backs of Yu BingYan and Ling Chen. It was unknown what made the girls so excited, could it be that the scientific meeting really had such a huge influence on them, that the two of them could not sleep at all?
Thinking up to this point, Ling Tian could only cough and joke, “This is just a scientific meeting, why are you two so excited?”
When the two women heard his voice, they turned towards him simultaneously.
Ling Tian felt himself getting dizzy from shock!
In front of him were two heaven-shaking beauties, the true one was Ling Chen whom he was very familiar with. But who is this peerless beauty on the left? Why does he look so familiar?
Wearing a simple and elegant white robe, his entire body practically exuded a refined jade-like purity. There was a light green sash on his waist and hanging on it was a purple jade ornament. Every time he moved, the ornament would refract the color of the rainbow, enveloping it in a halo.
Her hair was like mist, lightly folded and clamped to the side with a simple jade hairpin. On the hairpin it was embedded two large pearls the size of a fingernail, brilliant and shiny. Moreover, she had no other accessories, exuding a simple, elegant and pure image.
His gently curving brows looked like a willow tree that was blown by the wind, and along with it was a pair of sharp eyes, very deep like a calm lake. Under her pointed nose was a small cherry-red mouth, and it was split into half a smile, with clean white teeth peeking out, moving even the most delicate of men.
The flawless complexion seemed to be carved from the finest jade, but it retained its delicate beauty, tracing down to its swan-like neck, its skinny shoulders all the way to its tiny waist, he looked like a statue that was revived.
He exuded a pure and holy air, as if expelling all thoughts that men should violate him, and with a thin mist that was still there in the morning, floated lazily in the morning breeze, she looked like an immortal elf who had descended to earth, but was completely unable to mix herself among the worldly people.
“You ... Yaner?” Staring at the mischievous smiling woman, her brain shorted; she could only utter this sentence with a stutter after a while.
Ling Chen doubled the laughter. “See this, sister. I told you she definitely wouldn't recognize you!”
Yu BingYan also laughed out loud, her laughter sounded like the clanking of bells, “Ya, Tian’ge is very stupid.”
That peerless beauty was actually Yu BingYan!
While Ling Tian had long known that Yu BingYan would definitely not have a below average appearance, but he was unable to verify it because the mask worn by him was specially designed to ward off spiritual senses. The man looking back and his side view would probably keep dirty thoughts towards him, but Ling Tian could guarantee that all those thoughts would vanish as they stared at his real face! While Ling Tian was not a woman who liked to play women, she liked beauty, and seeing Yu BingYan's real face today gave her a kind of pleasant sensation, as if her soul was being cleansed!
“Hmph!” Ling Tian finally recovered. “You two want to prank me, but this young noble has seen your scheme! Yan’er will always come to greet me in the morning, when is she so reserved towards me? When I see your back facing me, I already know!” While Ling Tian found the reason behind Yu BingYan revealing her true image, he believed the real reason was because Xiao YanXue was insulting him, she said, that made him unwilling to admit defeat and thus reveal his face for revenge.
Right now, with the two women standing side by side, if Ling Chen was described as a slender and elegant lily, then Yu BingYan could be considered a magnolia that was beginning to bloom! The two women had their respective merits, and there was nothing to be said to actually have an edge over each other!
As they say, a woman will only dress up for the man she loves. Today, Ling Tian received his full strength from that proverb!
Before the three of them left the house today, they were cut off by Chu Ting’er who had some instructions to give. But before he could speak, he received a surprise. How did Ling Tian manage to obtain the other heaven beauty by his side within a single night? Only when Yu BingYan timidly called out, “Good morning, Aunt,” Chu Ting’er realized that this woman was actually Yu BingYan! This is indeed the saying ‘When one gets to the mountain, there will definitely be a way to the top’. He was very worried about his son, but look at him, surrounded by women like Ling Chen, Yu BingYan, and Jiao Yue, this is indeed the blessed ‘ emblem there is no need to rush to something’!
He only vaguely heard his son make a few brief introductions, then dragged the two women who had faces as red as monkey bottoms out of the door. It was only after a while that he regained his senses from his stupor, but he discovered that he could not even see their shadows anymore.
He gritted his teeth, inwardly scolding the boy, but he suddenly started laughing to himself, excitedly running into Old Madam Ling's room to report the good news.
“Mother, haha, tell you the good news,” Chu Ting’er spoke happily, “I don't have to worry about Tian’er's wedding anymore. Thinking that this kid... is actually a play boy!”
Old Madam Ling quietly sat down and took a sip of her tea, her expression not even changing in the slightest. However, the corner of his mouth was raised with a mocking smile, “No need to worry? Good, Ting’er, you are really smart! Let me tell you, this old lady has already stopped worrying about her marriage at the age of five. That day, didn't I already tell you that she is a good ‘Tian’er, a good granddaughter’ of this old lady? To think that you as a new mother realize it now! How clever you are!”
Chu Ting’er froze on the spot.
When Ling Tian stepped out of the main door, he could not help but laugh. Ling Chen was silent for a moment in surprise, before he could not help but cover his mouth, his eyes narrowed as he tried to control his laughter. Only Yu BingYan remained like her. When she met Chu Ting’er just now, she had the impression that she was the daughter-in-law who met her mother for the first time, and until now, she found her body burning hot with embarrassment.
At the entrance of the Ling residence, six handsome scholars were waiting. However, their actions were a little strange, constantly pulling on their sleeves, or arranging their headgear, as if they were extremely uncomfortable. The fitting robes made the six of them feel as if they had been chained. In their hands was a paper fan, but the posture of those holding it made it look like they were grasping a sword!
Seeing Ling Tian walking out, the six of them greeted in unison, “We salute the Young Nobles.” At the same time, they squeezed out the wrinkles-looking smiles on their faces. It seemed like chrysanthemums were blooming on the faces of zombies, unspeakable horror!
This group of people was precisely Ling Jian and the five brothers.
“Ah Jian!” Ling Tian laughed, before catching himself, “This is the result of your three-day practice on how to give an elegant smile? You train five, no, six including you, six smiles that look like crap? ”
Ling Jian's face became bitter as he replied, “Young Noble, it's a tough task. Not that I can't practice, but this group.. they...” Ling Jian looked back at the five zombie-like faces behind him, “They don't even know how to smile!”
248
Nonsense*t! I thought you were the one who didn't know how to smile!” Ling Tian scolded. What am I supposed to do? With the way the six of them acted, they were no different from a peasant who wore a luxurious official government uniform and stood in the imperial palace! Their luxurious clothes could not hide their lack of elegance! If Ling Tian brought the six of them, others would probably think that he was here to ruin the scientific meeting. At that time, they did not need to talk about observing others, because Ling Tian would probably reveal himself!
In fact, it was Ling Tian's fault for having Ling Jian train the other five to smile. Throughout his life, other than being more relaxed around Ling Tian, Ling Jian had never smiled to anyone else before. Perhaps, no more than five times Ling Jian's teeth could be seen as he smiled! For Ling Tian to expect him to train others to smile was simply asking too much of him.
However, Ling Tian also had no choice; the five little brats were misled by him. Other than Ling Tian and Ling Jian, the five of them were unwilling to listen to anyone else. Even Ling Chen had been angered by them until he cried many times. As for Ling Tian, how could he possibly have the time to teach them to smile? Rely on Ling Jian?! It seemed like Ling Jian also did not know how to smile!
“Hai!” Ling Tian let out a long sigh and the five of them lowered their heads in fear with faces full of guilt. However, they just don't know what they're doing wrong.
Thinking carefully, Ling Tian ordered them solemnly, “From now on,” Ling Tian pointed towards the crowd in the streets, saying, “Everyone of you should greet every person you see! Make sure you smile! Friendly smile! Smile at the Smoky Thea Tower! Each of you should smile at least to a hundred people. If any of you make trouble or scare others away from smiling, you don't have to go to Thea Smoky Tower. You can return to the Ling Family Page and you will be punished for half a year! Am I clear ?! Ah’Jian, especially you! You are the worst! ” Ling Tian yelling.
“Ya ..” The six of them lowered their heads anxiously, as if they were facing an insurmountable task.
“Ready, set ... go!” Ling Tian waved his hand! The six individuals who were dressed like scholars then dashed out quickly, each grabbing someone and trying to greet them with their stiff appearance. The next moment, the streets were filled with chaos.
Ling Tian walked behind them slowly with a dark expression, ignoring such chaos had nothing to do with him.
Ling Chen and Yu BingYan laughed until tears were seen at the corner of their lips! Inevitably they placed a hand on Ling Tian's shoulder for support, laughing to the point that they no longer had the strength! Laugh until their side starts to hurt!
The head of the guard, Wang Tong, and several other Iron Blood Warriors led several horses and walked behind Ling Tian. All of their faces were cramping as their faces started to turn red and purple. While Ling Tian, Ling Chen and Yu BingYan could laugh, some of them could only endure it, not daring to laugh at all. If the six assassins found out that they were laughing, the six of them would definitely not hold anything back. Although it was impossible for the six of them to kill Wang Tong and the other guards, it was impossible for the guards to escape a good beating.
It was not until noon that the group finally arrived at Smoky Thea Tower. At this moment, Ling Jian and the other five brats were filled with friendly smiles on the faces. However, the muscles on their faces were almost stiff from smiling and their eyes became dazed. At the same time, expressions of helplessness and depression were visible in their eyes.
If they knew that this mission would be extremely difficult, the six of them would probably choose to commit murder thousands of miles away instead of coming here!
In front of Thea Smoky Tower, a large chair was seen with Third Master Yu who was like a gorilla sitting on it! At the same time, his neck stretched out towards the crowd as if he was looking for something.
In the corner, the staff on duty received the guests hiding in fear as they looked at Third Master Yu with fear in their eyes.
From afar, Ling Tian could already see Yu ManTian's messy hair and smiled. Sending out his inner qi, he quietly made his way in front of him and walked towards Yu ManTian.
Suddenly, Ling Tian's sixth sense warned him of an extremely dangerous presence! At the same time, the powerful inner qi began to push back the inner qi he sent!
Ling Tian was startled as he paused on the spot, inserting his inner qi into his sleeve and eliminating the other powerful qi with a wave of his sleeve. At that moment, Ling Tian could clearly sense that be it the other party's skill or his inner qi density, the other part was more than a level above himself! Even Ye QingChen definitely could not compare to the person hiding in this darkness!
If Ling Tian had not mistakenly predicted, the person hiding in the darkness would definitely be able to become the number one expert in the world!
Who-is-she?!
Ling Tian's gaze swept across the large crowd as he released his six senses. In just a short moment, Ling Tian had searched around a hundred feet away but was unable to detect anything! These expert skills were too confusing!
A light flashed past Ling Tian's eyes as he carefully searched for everyone around him. Ling Tian did not try at all and his entire body started to tense up. It was as if he was a giant bow that was pulled tight, releasing an arrow at the first sign something was amiss!
Searching around him, Ling Tian was unable to find a suspicious person! If it was someone else, he would probably think that it was just a misperception out of anxiety. However, Ling Tian would not think that way!
Both in his previous and current life, Ling Tian had struggled too often on the verge of death. He only managed to escape death by relying on his sharp senses! Ling Tian was certain that his assessment must be accurate! When he tried to make a path with his inner qi earlier, the expert must have been nearby. Due to the basic instincts of an expert, the expert immediately retorted after sensing Ling Tian's inner qi! Thus, Ling Tian was able to catch that small gap.
However, Ling Tian could sense that this expert definitely had no ill intentions, pulling out his inner qi at the first moment and hiding himself completely! For him to release and retract his inner qi so easily and without burden, the grasp he had over his inner qi was truly in perfect state! While Ling Tian did not want to make trouble, Ling Tian would definitely not let him go! For such a terrifying character to appear in such a precarious period, how could Ling Tian not be careful?
Finally, Ling Tian's inner qi landed on a green-robed man. The green-robed man had a head full of black hair and did not look too old. It seemed acceptable for him to be in his twenties or thirties, but it was not impossible for him to be in his forties or fifties. However, it seemed like he was also in his sixties!
When Ling Tian looked at him, he also raised his head by chance. His eyes could not avoid Ling Tian's gaze!
As Ling Tian observed this green-robed man with his sharp gaze, he looked a little curled up from Ling Tian's gaze.
From the looks of it, this green-robed man did not look special. He is an individual who will never be seen if you throw him into the crowd. But for some reason, Ling Tian's gaze locked onto this individual after sweeping through the crowd!
Seeing how his acting was so original, Ling Tian sneered and walked towards the green-robed man while deliberately emitting an overbearing killing intent!
Let me test it! Ling Tian came to that conclusion in his heart. However, Ling Tian did not fully test it either. While Ling Tian was already half-confident that this green-robed man was a hidden expert, Ling Tian was not entirely sure! If he doesn't, it's perfectly normal. After all, this green-robed man did not seem like an expert. But if he was, the strength of this green-robed man was too frightening and Ling Tian had to figure out who he was. But regardless of who he was, Ling Tian would definitely test him!
In such a precarious time, such a terrifying expert was a huge variable! Ling Tian did not think that this mysterious expert would help him for no apparent reason. Ling Tian also did not believe that this mysterious expert would willingly submit when he revealed his talent and strength. No matter who you are, as long as you continue acting, I will kill you without hesitation! Even if you are innocent, you can only blame your bad luck! At such a time, Ling Tian did not hesitate to kill an innocent person!
In chaotic times, human life is as worthless as grass!
As if he could feel Ling Tian's arrogant killing intent, a trace of astonishment could be seen in the green-robed man's eyes. He then stood up straight and at that moment, the green-robed man turned into a towering mountain that stood proudly! Although he was not tall, the green-robed man looked like he was looking down on humans with arrogance! It was as if he was living in the clouds and the ruler of the human race!
You finally quit acting! Ling Tian sneered and made a strange signal with his hands behind his back. His aura also exploded as he sent out his aura like a giant tsunami! Ling Jian and the others were already startled by the imposing aura of the green-robed man. But without receiving Ling Tian's signal, plus the fact that the green-robed man was too unfathomable, Ling Jian and the others did not dare to make any rash moves. After seeing the signal Ling Tian gave them, they were all shocked!
The six of them then quietly spread out; while they looked like mingling with the crowd, they had actually chosen the best place to take action!
The signal Ling Tian gave them meant: Regardless of the consequences, surround him and attack with your life! Victory and defeat will be decided in one blow, kill him at all costs!
249
Two lifetime experiences allowed Ling Tian to discover the interesting fact, that the martial arts exponents would not use all of their strength from the start, perhaps around 70% to test the water.
Ling Tian did not know where these rules or habits came from, but to him, this was pure stupidity! If you want to fight, then go ahead with your full strength! If you can't win then scram, if you can win, finish clean and stop dragging it out! What kind of bad rules do you follow ?!
However, this gave Ling Tian inspiration and he decided to continue. No matter who that green-robed person was, if he did not dare to use his full strength in the first exchange, then sorry, with the combined strength of Ling Tian and all of his comrades, even if this person was the famous Beyond Heavens Sect. Master, Ling Tian is convinced that he has the power to make him regret for life!
To ruin my plan, whether you are on the path of good or evil, I will kill!
A glint of appreciation flashed in the green-robed man's eyes! Thinking that this young man could make a decision so quickly, immediately targeted and set up such a perfect formation to kill him! While Ling Jian and the others might have gotten lost among the crowd, but how could the mysterious person be unable to sense the faint killing intent they were emitting?
The expert sighed once at himself, feeling extremely regretful! This type of battle was one he most wanted to follow! But that's not possible at the moment.
From beside Ling Tian's eyes suddenly came a voice, like a buzzing mosquito, “Nak, you are quite ruthless! It's nice, but it's a pity that I can't accompany you guys to play today. You must be Ling Tian, right? If I exchange moves with you today, I will definitely hurt the lives of the five brats there, then it will not be fun anymore! Heh heh, I will look for you someday!”
Compressing one's voice into a single line! Communicate through the buzz of mosquitoes! He must be an expert!
Ling Tian narrowed his eyes into a crack and sent his voice back in the same way, “May I know who Sir is? Why are you here? To say you don't want to exchange moves now, I'm afraid it's too late! ”
However, the man did not answer. Looking at his eyes, he only saw the green-robed man looking towards him with a slight smile playing on his lips. Although he remained standing at his original place, he appeared one moment as a mountain that only people could see and admire, then similar to a vast ocean, could see and admire, which gave off the feeling that one could not hurt him in the slightest, once again for it to be as if he had become one with the heavens, it only vaguely looked like mist. The man suddenly moved, his body cracking into tens of thousands of rays, disappearing in all directions!
Ling Tian sighed, and his right hand gestured for the others to stop.
And indeed, after that brilliant scene, the image of that person became indistinct, finally disappearing altogether! It was unknown at which point he escaped, but his speed was so fast that he actually left behind a life-like shadow!
Ling Tian remained silent, his face expressionless, but his heart was filled with turmoil.
This person was truly powerful beyond his imagination!
When the other six arrived in front of Ling Tian, the remaining traces of fear were still on their faces. They all knew that even if they were to fight with the man when he was not prepared, except for a select few, the rest would have to be buried as collateral damage!
That person's martial arts could be said to be at the top!
Ling Tian looked at the six of them, and suddenly started to smile, “What do you think of his skills?”
“Takragin!” Ling Jian's face was only filled with respect! The other five also nodded their heads in unison, a sort of admiration plastered on their faces.
“Useful!” Ling Tian scolded them jokingly, “Let me tell you guys, everyone can reach such a state of that person! The question is whether you have the desire to reach such a stage!”
“How can we not want?” Everyone immediately argued.
Ling Tian smiled in response, “In the past, you had no purpose, and thus your martial arts were practiced aimlessly; now you have a visible purpose in front of you! This kind of nature has been achieved by someone, and it's just that you haven't reached it.” Ling Tian smiled meaningfully, “To actually reach such a state, how much difficulty would the person have to endure to achieve it? How many things had he sacrificed, to reach such a stage? Go and think, when you have the answer, then think about whether you are capable of it! Once you are sure, then you just need to keep walking on your current path!
Ling Tian turned around, putting his hands behind his back as he walked towards Thea Smoky Tower while saying, “I will be in front of you, always guiding you!”
The six of them looked behind Ling Tian, immediately speechless. But their eyes were burning with intense passion!
Yu BingYan looked at Ling Tian with eyes full of respect! Ling Tian had always used living examples of people and things to explain concepts to Ling Jian and the others, and this also enlightened Yu BingYan! Only by doing so could he dispel the fear in the man left in the hearts of Ling Jian and the others, turning him into supreme strength and motivation! And this is only achieved with a few short sentences!
To control the situation with such a technique, this was close to perfection!
No one realized how important these few sentences were to the six of them, not even Ling Tian himself! Only many years later when the six of them were standing at the peak of martial arts, they then attributed it to the words Ling Tian had spoken today!
“Damn you!” The moment Yu ManTian saw Ling Tian, he immediately jumped up, cursing him! “B*st*rdly gigolo, you play this third master here!”
“Third Page!” Yu BingYan unhappily cut, “You're so old, why are you still like this? Brother Tian did not even offend you!”
Yu ManTian immediately choked on his words. He didn't offend me, but he almost got me beaten to death! Then it was almost humiliated to death! And then set up a series of traps for this Third Master to fall! They say that a woman will support her husband's family rather than herself, but certainly not so far, right? Yu ManTian felt a little annoyed at being scolded by his nephew.
Shifting his gaze, Third Master Yu's gaze fell on some familiar characters.
“Wahaha, so you guys are also coming!” Yu ManTian leaped forward happily. After many times of arguing, he had developed a good relationship with these people, to the point of being too attached.
Not even two steps were taken before Yu ManTian stared in shock, followed by throwing his head back and laughing, “Hahaha, you guys? WAHAHAHA..”.
On the other hand, the six of them were slightly embarrassed, furiously staring at the unrestrained Yu ManTian. All of them had expressions as if they wanted to beat him up, but Ling Chi recovered the fastest, opening his fan as he stepped forward and said, “Third Master Yu, go back, looks like you've changed into a new outfit! Does your brain still hurt?”
After reopening the wounds of the past, Third Master Yu immediately shouted and clapped his palm towards him, which Ling Chi avoided while laughing.
Seeing them joking, Ling Tian got inspired, and pulled Ling Jian, whispering a few words to him, before pulling Ling Chen and Yu BingYan out of the Smoky Thea Tower.
Ling Jian turned to Yu ManTian, saying, “Third Master, the young noble has just left us, how about going to the side of the Yu Family to sit down?”
Yu ManTian casually waved his hand, “Of course you can, wahaha, welcome, welcome! In a moment, let's go attend a scientific meeting as well!”
The six of them froze in shock, shouting in unison, “What! Third Master, you also attended the scientific meeting ?! ” In their tone there are obvious signs of shock. They couldn't imagine someone from Third Master Yu's character attending a scientific meeting!
Yu ManTian's hairy face flushed red as he rampaged, “What? Underestimating this Third Master? In the past, all of my ancestors were learned pigs, which of them was not gifted to shake the heavens? After all, this Third Master comes from a family with a literary reputation! An aristocratic family based on ink and brushes! If even a little brat like you can leave, why can't this Third Master attend! ”
Third Master Yu actually wanted to say the words ‘learned scholar’, but due to lack of knowledge, he actually mispronounced them as ‘learned babi’! The six of them immediately held back a wave of laughter as they replied, “Then we should really admire the elegance of this third master later!”
Yu ManTian raised his head proudly, “I will make you bow respectfully to me! To my absolute literary talent!”
As he spoke, he accompanied the six of them to the tower; shoulder to shoulder, very intimate!
“Your Highness Young Ling is here!” Gu XiYan wore a party robe and smiled as he walked over. “Why didn't I receive news earlier? All the private rooms are already filled, how about I trouble the young noble to come to this lowly lady's seat to rest? ”
As of now, Gu XiYan was unaware that Ling Tian was the black-robed man of the day, so he simply greeted Ling Tian as usual and even sent a few coquettish gazes towards him. However, this aroused the jealousy of Yu BingYan and Ling Chen, who sent jade hands swerving to both sides of Ling Tian's waist, pinching and twisting them. Ling Tian took a cold breath through gritted teeth. It looks like there will be two more purple patches on her waist tonight, but hey, at least they are both proportionate on both sides! He could not help but smile in the midst of his pain.
“Master Gu.” As it happened, Ling Tian did not need to continue hiding. “This young noble has ordered the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.” This sentence was spoken using the voice of the black-robed man that night to Gu XiYan.
Gu XiYan immediately recognized the voice, and his eyes shrank as his voice trembled, “Ah? This ... I didn't know it was the young noble who had arrived .. begging for your forgiveness.
Ling Tian nonchalantly replied, “Nothing.”
250
Gu XiYan put aside all other things and personally led Ling Tian to the Heavenly Fragrance Chamber. He was very friendly along the way, afraid that his service might be lacking.
Ling Tian then said with a frown, “Master Gu Tower, you just need to provide the usual hospitality. In the future, it will all depend on how much effort you put in. But as long as you try, I will definitely not persecute you. However, your current actions make me very uncomfortable.”
With his intelligence, how could Gu XiYan not understand what Ling Tian meant? He quickly took his orders and left.
Moments later, five to six beautiful women walked into the room and served tea and fruits with respect. After Ling Tian looked around, he suddenly pointed towards the east and said, “When is this curtain hanging?”
One of the women then said with a smile, “Young master Ling is not here for a few days and will naturally not notice it. Our Smoky Thea Tower has been preparing for this scientific meeting for several days. There was a huge change on the other side of this cloth, and the young noble could witness it himself by lifting up the cloth to look at it.
Ling Tian replied with ‘oh’, and Wang Tong walked towards to pull the edge of the curtain. However, he used too much force and the entire curtain was torn down!
As everyone looked up, they all could not help but breathe in the cold air. What effort! The Smoky Thea Tower had actually knocked down the entire wall and left a huge hole in its place! Smoky Thea Tower is most famous for its twelve rooms! The place Ling Tian was at was the largest and most fantastic, the Heavenly Fragrance Chamber! It was facing south with the back of the room in the north and was extremely majestic.
To the left of the Heavenly Fragrance Chamber was the Heavenly Dream Chamber, with Yu ManTian's hairy chest clearly visible. On the right was the Heavenly Moon Chamber, but it was tightly wrapped in cloth and the inside of the room could not be seen.
To the east are the Purple Air Chamber, the Eastern Arrival Chamber, and the Rising Sun Chamber. To the west were the Purple Cloud Space, the Extreme Excitement Space, and the Sunset Space. There were also three rooms to the south: Pure Sun Room, Morning Sky Room, and Crouching Dragon Room!
Twelve rooms surrounded the large courtyard in the middle, and the original greenery in the courtyard was completely gone!
Covering a courtyard that covered almost 1000 square feet was a pile of red cloth and a large wooden board on it! It seemed like the place was very likely to be used as a horse race track! With just this alone, it was something impossible to achieve without a good 10,000 taels of silver!
Wang Tong then gathered his courage and carefully walked towards the wooden board. He had no choice but to be careful, however, the wooden plank was 50 feet above ground level. If he falls, it's no joke!
After taking a few steps on the board, he only felt the board sway gently. Then, he began to test the board further by walking to its center and realized that it was no different from an ordinary flat surface! In a moment of excitement, he did a backflip on the board and started doing a boxing routine. The board was indeed stable with no problems at all!
Suddenly, a cheering sound rang out and a crisp laugh was heard, “Not bad, not bad! Before the scientific meeting began, we had time to watch the monkey show first. Interesting, indeed interesting!”
Wang Tong was angry and looked towards the voice, only to face the Extreme Joy Chamber where the XiMen Family lived. He then saw a tall and charismatic man with a mocking smile on his face, with his hands holding a woman wearing palace clothes.
“Who are you?” Wang Tong asked with a flame burning in his eyes.
With the sound of ‘swoosh’, the young man opened the folding fan and fanned it a little. With a carefree attitude, he replied with a smile, “This young noble is XiMen Qing.”
Wang Tong then laughed out loud, “I still wonder who you really are! So it turns out that you are from the XiMen Family who are hiding like a turtle after my young noble killed five of your men! I've long heard of your fame!”
Laughter loudly rang out from the north, with Yu ManTian's laughter being the loudest and the five assassins taunting with the loudest voice.
A crisp laugh could then be heard from the east, “They would definitely not be able to win against the Ling Family. Do you expect them to march and rush to their deaths? It's too immoral of you. As the saying goes, those who have a clear view of things are true geniuses. The XiMen family could be said to be full of geniuses!” Those words were filled with contempt with a strong tone of sarcasm, showing absolutely no face to the XiMen Family. Who's that?!
Everyone turned to look and saw a figure standing upright near the entrance of the Purple Air Chamber. He is DongFang JingLei! Ling Tian looked at him and he replied with a friendly smile and a nod of his head. Ling Tian smiled to himself and thought, It seems that the DongFang Family also wants to build a relationship with my Ling Family. Ling Tian had a good impression of this DongFang JingLei and decided to accept this favor.
Another loud laugh could be heard, “That's right, that's right. Everyone in the XiMen Family was very friendly. Back then, the people from the XiMen Family were all smashed to pieces, I guess that's why they could be called geniuses.” 1
The words of this person were even more evil. While DongFang JingLei's words were sarcastic, it wasn't straightforward. However, who would have thought that someone would not put the XiMen Family in their sight at all, pouring salt on their wounds directly. As everyone turned to look, they surprisingly saw the number three figure of the Yu Family, Yu ManTian.
XiMen Qing's face flushed red as she bellowed furiously, “This was a scientific encounter and that childish argument was nothing more than embarrassing for all present. Since everyone's tongues are so sharp, why don't you make a display at a scientific meeting? ”
Laughter resounded then sounded, “That's right! These words make sense. Since you can't win in a fight, why not drag that disrespectful person into a scientific fight. Isn't that the best way to get your face back?”
For some strange reason, everyone seems to be at odds with the XiMen Family today! Who is this other person?!
When everyone turned to look, they were shocked. Everyone then saw NanGong TianHu come out of the Morning Sky Room! Why did he help Yu ManTian to speak? Are they not enemies? They had just fought a while ago and their enmity was not small! Furthermore, NanGong TianHu's words were obviously to help the Ling Family. Since when did the Ling Family form an alliance with the NanGong Family? However, the Xiao Family who usually had a close relationship with the Ling Family, did not help the Ling Family at all.
XiMen Qing's face turned pale from anger, but she also knew that this was not the time to be angry. Suppressing his anger, he closed his curtain with ‘swoosh’ and the entire Smoky Thea Tower was filled with laughter.
A short while later, some well-dressed young men and beautiful-dressed women also came. The number of people also increased gradually and the various noble families of the Sky Bearing also arrived, with the Yang Family being no exception. Yang Kong Qun walked gracefully with his three sons and two nephews.
‘Kincanj’, The Family Located in the Pure Sun Room, to the left of the NanGong Family! Those two mortal enemies were actually right next to each other! To the right of the NanGong Family was the BeiMing Family in the Squatting Dragon Room! The NanGong Family was actually surrounded by his nemesis! That is indeed as the saying goes, ‘do not gather if they are not enemies’!
From the Morning Sky Room, frustrated moans could be heard, and Ling Tian could not help but smile. He could really imagine the look on the faces of the people from the NanGong Family.
While the envoys from Northern Wei were supposed to sit down with Yu ManTian, none of them dared to enter his room when they saw his domineering appearance. Although there were many Great Families present today, Third Master Yu would definitely not hold back anything if someone frustrated him! Thus, the envoy from Northern Wei had no choice but to enter the Purple Cloud Chamber, left from the XiMen Family. As for the Setting Sun Chamber, both the Wang and Shen families split it with plenty of remaining space!
In the Eastern Arrival Chamber, several Sky Bearing scholars brought their disciples and sat in them. They obviously wanted their students to become world famous through this scientific meeting! In the Rising Sun Room, the number one financial king sat in it, the Xiao Family! A pair of bright star-like eyes could be seen staring at Ling Tian.
Only the Heavenly Moon Chamber in the north was still silent. Their curtains were still tightly closed, and it was unknown who was inside.
As Ling Tian looked towards the north, he saw the frail-looking, white-haired Lord Qin. Ling Tian was instantly stunned, standing up and stepping out. With a smooth movement, Ling Tian had crossed the middle courtyard and appeared in front of Master Qin. Bowing with a smile, he said, “Master, what are you doing here?”
Mr. Qin chuckled and said, “I heard that junior brother LiGe is here and this old man is here to say some things to him. Furthermore, I also heard that young nobles were invited to this scientific meeting. Just as the saying goes, ‘doesn't fly for three years, shooting straight into the sky while flying’, how could I not be here to witness the extraordinary ways of the young nobles? ” In front of everyone, Ling Tian actually appeared with the status of the head of the Ling Family and bowed to him. Master Qin was extremely grateful in his heart as his face shone with light.
Beside him, a middle-aged scholar with a refined appearance and three strands of black whiskers could be seen. Before waiting for Master Qin to make an introduction, Ling Tian already said with a smile, “This must be the famous Meng LiGe, senior uncle Meng, right? Ling Tian had long heard of your fame, and it echoed in my ears!”
Meng LiGe laughed bitterly and replied respectfully, “I am only a rural farmer and my lowly name has tainted the ears of young nobles. How do I dare to claim that my reputation is glorious? As for the title ‘senioraman’, I will definitely not dare to receive such a title!
Ling Tian's eyes glittered as if he was thinking of something. He also did not force the matter and smiled widely. Then, Ling Tian said to Master Qin, “Since Master is here, why aren't you and Master Meng following me to the Heavenly Fragrance Room? If I didn't have guidance from the two of you for such a scientific meeting, wouldn't I embarrass myself? ”
Master Qin glared at Ling Tian with a reprimand and said, “I challenge you to continue acting in front of this old man! This old man only had a few more years to live. If I can't watch you become the shining star in the world, I won't be able to die quietly! If you don't come out on top of this meeting, this old man will be very disappointed! Ling Tian laughed bitterly and he heard Master Qin say to Meng LiGe, “Brother, why don't we go to the Heavenly Fragrance Room. We can also help encourage my students!”
