THE LING TIAN LEGEND
episode 52

The emperor's decision was swift and wise.

He ordered Yang Kong Qun to take back his grandson and discipline him well. Not only did he not punish her, he rewarded her with ten taels of gold. He then comforted Yang KongQun kindly, “This is all just words spoken by children. The uprising? Hahaha, isn't this just a joke? Are both of your parents here to make jokes with us? ” This is what the emperor said. Actually, it has a subtle meaning: There is no need for you to trouble me just because of this little incident. It was as if the emperor was completely unperturbed by this affair.

He then ordered Ling Zhan to bring his grandson back and raise him well. At the same time, he rewarded her with ten taels of gold and a piece of Ruyi White [1], saying that it was to appease the boy. Before she sent them away, she also added casually, “Oh, my empress has told us that she has not visited her relatives for a long time and wants to travel home.”

Besides, he didn't say anything else.

The two old men brought their grandchildren out of the palace together. One of them was filled with black lines all over his forehead, along with a ferocious look in his eyes as if he wanted to eat someone alive. Another one was filled with smiles and was in a very good mood.

Although the emperor did not say much, he revealed his stance by comforting Yang Kong Qun. In this entire incident, it was clear that Ling Tian was the one being bullied and the Ling family was the one that needed to be entertained. However, the emperor did not say anything to the Ling family but comforted the party who was the culprit. Here's where it gets weird.

Especially in Yang Kong Qun's heart, it was completely filled with a myriad of mixed feelings. How could the cunning and wise Yang Kong Qun not realize something strange? She thought in her heart, “She comforted me, but gave her an extra White Ruyi. What do you mean by Ruyi? It clearly meant that what the Ling family did was to his liking. In other words, she is not happy with what my Yang family is doing?” The more he thought about it, the more he felt bad. If the daughter of the Ling family wants to return to visit them, why do you have to say it in front of me?

When they left the palace, Yang Wei's triangular eyes stared at Ling Tian viciously. However, Ling Tian ignored him completely as he thought, “Nak, you are too gentle. You are far from fighting me. ”

Duke Ling left the palace in an excited mood, letting Ling Tian ride on his shoulders while calling his beloved Ling Tian. It was as if he had completely forgotten about how Ling Tian caused the Xiao family to reject the marriage …

Under Ling Tian's insistence, Ling Tian still followed Master Qin out to visit his friend. It's just that time's been delayed all afternoon.

Ling Tian sat on the carriage with a smile as he looked at the brilliant expression on Master Qin's face as if he was laughing at Master Qin's misfortune.

Master Qin is now extremely depressed! The entire incident was caused by Ling Tian and it was also Ling Tian's idea that guaranteed them the greatest advantage. From start to finish, he did nothing and just sat in the carriage. But in the end, he became the biggest contributor to the whole event! Duke Ling almost wanted to adore him…

As for the high-officials who were usually very proud and aloof, they looked at him like a teacher with respect, treating him as if it was all part of his heavenly plan.

If he really played such a role, he would not be bothered by it. But the thing is, he received a compliment for something he didn't do. With the character of Lord Qin being stiff and straight, not only was this not considered a glory, it was also considered a torture for him! In just a few hours, Master Qin was already exhausted.

He then quickly left as he completely escaped from Ling's house, allowing him to have time to wipe away the sweat on his face. At this moment, he saw that the mastermind of this entire incident was laughing at his misfortune. In a moment of anger, he did not care about anything else and caught Ling Tian, wanting to give him a good punch in the butt.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ling Tian quickly said in a doubtful tone, “Today's problem is very strange. There is something I cannot understand.” As Ling Tian said that, he scratched his head with a doubtful expression on his face.

Ling Tian laughed in his heart as he rose from Mr. Qin's knee and said, “The more I think about it, the more I don't understand. In fact, this was the first time I had left the city since I was born. But in this first time, I coincidentally met the young master of the Yang family to fight with me on the road. Isn't this too coincidental?”

Master Qin was first stunned before asking nervously, “You tried to say that there are spies in the mansion? It must be something big.”.

Ling Tian almost laughed out loud as he thought to himself, “If this is something the Yang family has planned in advance, how could I possibly win so easily? Moreover, they would definitely not send an idiot like Yang Wei.” But, his face was completely silent as he continued spitting out trash. Perhaps he was too good at speaking, making Master Qin very serious as he played his beard in deep thought.

Ling Jian was still sitting on the carriage and did not seem to hear anything the two of them said. However, the trace of laughter in his eyes proved that he understood Ling Tian's intent.

Following the respectful greetings from the city guards, the carriage exited the city and headed south.

In front was Green Willow Lake.

In the willow forest, there was a small river that was about twenty feet wide. The surface of the river was already frozen and looked like a beautiful white jade pathway that scattered all over the earth without a sound.

Across the river, there was a rundown house that was King Fu's Courtyard.

Ling Tian poked his head out of the carriage as he looked at the huge willow forest with ridicule. Mmm, if it's not wrong, Ling Kong will take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of me. This will be the best time.

The carriage moved slowly on the ground surface as it let out a creaking sound. The guards surrounded the left and right of the carriage as they looked around carefully while slowly approaching the willow forest.

Suddenly, a whistle rang out as dozens of white-clothed men with bows and swords jumped out from the forest. In the blink of an eye, they were only 300 feet away from the carriage.

The person leading the group then waved his hand as he ordered, “Serang! Kill them all and don't let anyone live!”

With a swooshing sound, dozens of arrows with steel tips shot out like locusts in the sky. The tip of his arrow was sparkling blue, clearly smeared with poison!

[1]: Ruyi White is a piece of white jade. What Ruyi means in Chinese is ‘according to one's wishes’.
