Ling Tian and Ling Chen were on horseback, rushing back to the Ling Residence.
“Chen’er, how just now?” Looking at Ling Chen's flushed cheeks, full of excitement, Ling Tian could not help but laugh.
Ling Chen pouted in response, “Some of those jerks are becoming more and more cunning, I need more trouble to defeat them this time.”
“Hahaha, how easy did you expect?” As Ling Tian thought about how the five of them were lying on the ground in such a miserable state when he and Ling Chen left, he could not help but laugh. Although those people were mostly pretending, it was no lie that they were suffering under Ling Chen's hands! Ling Tian only gave them a few tips before he left the courtyard with Ling Chen.
Ling Chen shook his waist, rolling his eyes flirtatiously towards him. Then, he giggled and pushed his horse forward, rushing forward.
Ling Tian laughed as he chased after him. Their conversation is faintly visible, drifting in the wind, “Tonight, you can try the secret ..”
The Residence of the Minister of Rites.
The lanterns are lit in the afternoon, turning the residence into a cluster of twinkling lights.
Inside the specially constructed courtyard, several people sat facing each other with grim expressions on their faces.
With the same disguised face, the little daughter of the Yu Family, Yu BingYan, sat between the two parties, a hand propping up her chin with an expression full of worry.
The two middle-aged women accompanying him during the day sat on one side. Inside the room, there were five to six more people, all of them sitting neatly. In the shadows of the room sat another obscure silhouette, without saying a word.
“... That Young Noble Ling must have hidden herself very well. Someone who is very knowledgeable yet is able to hide himself very well, this is the first time I have met someone like that.” One of the middle-aged women was talking. In his tone of voice, one could feel a trace of unrestrained vigilance as well as admiration.
“One stop. Although this man was educated and cultured, his plans went deep. This humble one feels that the little princess should keep her distance.” The other middle-aged female bodyguard replied.
Yu BingYan's brows furrowed in hesitation before turning to a silent figure shrouded in darkness, “Uncle Xue, you've always been by my side, what do you think of this?”
The shadow in the corner trembled, and only after a long while did he finally reply. His voice was loud and grating, like two metals colliding with each other, “I can't see through this guy. He feels, very dangerous!”
“Dangerous? Uncle Xue, could it be that you were wrong? He's just a weak scholar, how could he let you sense danger? And where is the danger?” Yu BingYan giggled as she spoke.
“Dia, definitely feel dangerous!” Uncle Xue, who was in the shadows, did not try to refute him, and simply repeated what he had just said before closing his mouth.
Yu BingYan pondered for a moment before revealing a sad expression in her eyes, “Although she may be dangerous, but what else can I do? I just want to learn to paint from him, what else can I do with my body, my status, as well as my upcoming fate?”
Everyone became serious on this, as they looked towards Yu BingYan with attention in their eyes.
One of the middle-aged women could not help but comfort her, “If Little Princess just wanted to learn to paint from him, it could easily be resolved. The celebration would last for three more days and he would definitely reappear. Back then, if Little Princess could ask him to teach you along with Miss Wei, I'm sure he wouldn't have rejected you right?” Although this was expressed as a question, the tone of the woman's voice was full of confidence.
The way he asked had no head or tail, but it was clear that everyone present understood his point. The other female bodyguard moved her mouth, but no sound came out of her. Finally, he lowered his head.
Yu BingYan simply replied calmly, “It's okay, just say your thoughts. The results have long been established, what makes you hesitant? ”
The female bodyguard in question replied in a low voice, “Based on the report, Miss Shui is blessed with incredible intelligence and is already a top-class expert. He started practicing the family sword arts.
Yu BingYan smiled lightly as she said, “He has already started the family sword arts? Haha, most likely he has already mastered it, right?” Lowering his head with a sigh, he continued, “I have long wanted to visit him and speak from heart to heart with him. After all, we both had the same fate, who knows, we might actually end up as friends. Haha, then this will be a great story. Three years. There are still three years! There are only three years ..” In the last part, he sighed once more.******* what was left was heard from his fragile and delicate chest, filled with helplessness and sadness.
As if infected by the melancholy mood of the little princess, the crowd was drowning in silence. Thinking of the fate of the little princess, everyone instantly felt as if they were being pressed down by a heavy stone slab, pressed down to the point of being unable to breathe.
From the window outside, suddenly came the rustling sound of clothes, followed by a light laughter that resounded in everyone's ears. The shadow figure hidden in the corner suddenly twisted his body. Sword light flashed past the eyes of the crowd, as the human and sword, combined into one, pierced through the window! This was followed by the sound of ‘ding ding’ as weapons clashed against each other outside, as if a torrential rain had started!
A group of people all ran into the courtyard, raising their heads to look at the unknown intruder. What they saw made them all breathe cold air.
A black and white mist flashed past each other. For a moment, no one could tell them apart. They only knew that the floating black shadow was a shadow figure belonging to their side. But, that nimble white shadow was unclear and they could only assume that it was a woman from that party's lithe figure.
The two swords flashing in the night sky were incredible. Occasionally, the two figures would soar through the air and exchange a few blows, then stagger apart from each other. However, at the next moment, the two parts would rejoin into a single entity. Their movement skills were extremely beautiful beyond belief. Suddenly to the left, then to the right; to the south, then to the north, similar to a spirit.
“Dan!” A sharp sound from the clash of weapons rang out, as sparks flew in all directions in the air. The two sides did an aerial flip, parting with each other and landing far apart with the sword still leading to the other person. Two pairs of eyes gave off the same icy-cold expression, staring at each other without blinking.
Only then could the audience see that the white shadow was actually a masked person dressed all in white, with a tall stature and smooth curves. Behind the mask was a pair of clear eyes similar to autumn water and long hair like a waterfall flowing down. This elegant figure of a woman stood on the roof, looking like an immortal being that had descended to Earth; the sword in her hand looked like a river under the moonlight. Even after such a fierce confrontation, he actually remained relaxed, unrestrained and elegant.
The black shadow stood upright with the sword pointed forward, the tip of the sword shaking nonstop, leaving a shadow behind. Evidently, all of his energy had been condensed into the sword he was holding. Once he made a move, it would be like a flash of lightning!
After that short exchange, both sides had a rough estimate of the strength of their opponents in their hearts. Even though the girl in white was still young, she could be considered one of the most skilled experts that the man had encountered in his life! Now that the little princess was living in the Celestial Bearing Empire, the presence of such an expert was definitely a huge threat! The black shadow had made a firm decision in his heart: No matter the consequences, I cannot let this girl go tonight!
A cool breeze blew gently, the robes of both were waving within. The body of the white-robed girl seemed to follow the gentle breeze to soar upwards, and with a flick of her slender wrist, the sword in her hand turned into a dazzling brilliance, tearing apart the night sky! To think he took the initiative to attack! His sword was like a gazelle horn that stuck forward, leaving no marks. The sword intent flowed like water in a spring, continuously and unbroken!
The black shadow, who was about to release his own movements, suddenly became sluggish as he exclaimed in shock, “Heavenly Wind Water ?!”
After this sentence was spoken, all the experts in the Yu Family crowd had a complete change of expression! In the corner of the small courtyard, another black shadow suddenly rushed towards the sky like an electric arc. The sword in his hand looked like a viper, pointing towards the back of the white-robed lady! It was as if hearing the four words ‘Heavenly Wind Water’ had triggered some sort of response within him, making him attack regardless of his own safety! With one in front and one in back, the two black-robed men attacked at the same time in a pincer attack!
The white-robed girl flipped upwards, dodging the sword in front of her. With a flash of his sword, like a bolt of lightning, the sword collided with the sword behind him. The man behind him had urged with his full strength, but discovered, to his surprise, that his sword did not seem to have any strength, as light as a feather! He could not help but exclaim in his heart, “I was fooled! ”
What happened next was even more shocking. After receiving the sword directly, the white-clothed woman did not rely on strength to separate their distance. Instead, he jumped up 30 feet into the air! Right now, he had nothing to rely on to get support in the air. With the old power fading away and no new power being applied, he was in a dangerous situation. Seeing how he had actually dug his own grave, the two black-robed men were flabbergasted. But, they raised their swords to wait for the moment he fell, because it would be the time for him to go to the Yellow Springs!
