THE LING TIAN LEGEND
episode 204

Ling Tian took a deep breath, his hand patted Ling Jian's shoulder while he looked at the rest, and spoke in a serious tone, “Brothers, what am I, Ling Tian, and I, need is not a bunch of merciless killers. I need a group of brothers that I can trust my heart and soul! Not only do you have to be able to work for me; you also have to accompany me. I'd like to see each of you get married and have children, to enjoy this world. You are all my brothers! Do you understand?”

It was almost noon by the time Ling Tian returned to his residence. He happened to meet Xiao YanXue, who was carrying various kinds of packages and was about to leave the residence with her bodyguards. “Miss Xiao, aren't you tired of playing every day? I'm worried about you!” she said.

Upon seeing Ling Tian, Xiao YanXue's face became slightly red, as if he was ashamed of something, before he snapped, “Is Young Noble Ling tired of playing around? Have you had fun today?”

Ling Tian started, thinking to himself, Has this girl gone through menopause in just these few days? Why did he have such a crazy mood change? One moment of embarrassment and the next moment of anger, it was an unusual sight.

Ling Tian did not know that after he had destroyed YanXue in their battle of words, calling him a frog inside the well, Xiao YanXue had locked himself inside his room for the next few days. After excessive research, he found that he really knew too little about the Seven-colored Sandalwood Pearls of the South Sea, and this made him shy and angry.

Xiao YanXue probably wouldn't be so angry if Ling Tian just boasted and didn't know anything. However, Xiao YanXue felt that she had lost the battle back then and deeply felt the loss of her face, so her anger flared up every time she saw Ling Tian.

Surprisingly, Ling Tian saluted Xiao FengYang who had just appeared, before turning to YanXue and saying, “Wow, Miss Xiao seems to be dressed neatly today. Don't tell... blind date?” Ling Tian deliberately dragged the words ‘Don't say’, then said the last few words, creating a sudden and awkward atmosphere.

Xiao YanXue actually raised her ears to catch what she was about to say, but the moment those words came out, her entire face flushed red and she hatefully spat out, “Blind date your head!”

Ling Tian laughed before walking past them. However, he suddenly stopped and asked, “Oh, Miss Xiao, may I ask if the auction will be held before or after the scientific meeting?”

The moment his words came out of his mouth, Xiao YanXue and FengYang both stopped in their steps, their expressions changed. Xiao YanXue carefully replied, “For today. Does Young Noble Ling have any suggestions?”

Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as he grinned widely, “Not really, I was just curious. An auction of that size, how could this young noble not be present?” However, in his heart he thought, What is the meaning behind their change of expression?

If the Xiao Family had not decided on a definite time, wouldn't it have to be after the scientific meeting? Ling Tian smirked to himself, as he looked at Xiao FengYang with hidden meaning. Ai, you better not have too much artistic talent, Second Master Xiao!

Ling Tian did not speak any further, instead returning to his courtyard. As his back was facing them, he felt Xiao FengYang's eyes staring at his back meaningfully as he left.

As he stepped into his courtyard, Ling Chen hurriedly greeted him. It was only through their conversation that she realized that the people from the imperial palace had arrived earlier and that Consort Ling had brought Old Lady Ling and Chu Ting’er into the palace.

Ling Tian could not help but feel depressed. They had actually agreed to go to the palace together before, but now they were leaving without him? When he was young, he was a man, so how could he walk into the concubine's palace alone?

He decided not to think about the matter anymore and instead shifted the chair under the wine rack. Raising his head to look at the shattered chaos around him, he let out an uncontrollable sigh. However, he could not help but smile when he thought of Third Master Yu. No matter what happens in the future, whether he becomes friends or enemies with the Yu Family, Yu ManTian is someone worthy of making friends as a friend for life!

Right now, he had a huge stack of reports which was an accumulation of intelligence on the great powers that had entered the Sky Bearing in the past few days and were visited by the Xiao Family! Ling Tian felt a burst of anger every time he saw this report. He knew that while the Xiao family was visiting them to invite them to their auction, the larger plot was about the Heaven Splitter sword. This was not the greed of a merchant, but the action of a great power that harnessed chaos to rule!

Leaning back, Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as a cruel arch appeared at the corner of his mouth. He had just thought of the heartless method with which he could confirm that the members of the Xiao Family currently here would never leave the Sky Bearing!

The relationship between the Xiao Family and Ling seemed harmonious on the surface, but it was clear to Ling Tian that the Xiao Family's ambitions could no longer be controlled! Once the Xiao Family took action, then whether the Ling Family helped or not, they would definitely get involved. The best result was the seizure of all the military forces of the Ling Family out of fear, but the worst was that the Royal Family would only choose to eradicate the Ling Family completely! If that was the case, then the Ling Family would face an unprecedented disaster.

However, the Xiao Family did not seem to be considering this, or rather, they were completely indifferent to the life and death of the Ling Family! Just this factor alone caused Ling Tian to be furious!

Even without talking about the friendship that Grandpa Ling had with Xiao FengHan and based solely on their family and business relationships, as well as the number of benefits that Old Madam Ling had given the Xiao Family, it could be said that the Xiao Family owed Ling. Family on the big road!

However, the Xiao Family clearly did not take this into account. Forget to return the favor, they practically used the Ling Family as a tool to cause chaos!

Repay for good with evil! No matter what lifetime, what Ling Tian hated the most were people like this! Two rays of cold light shot out from Ling Tian's eyes as he thought, Xiao Family, since you are heartless, then don't blame me for not talking about friendship! If you dare to provoke me, I will make sure that none of you are allowed to leave the Sky Bearing! You came to the Sky Bearing and even used the territory of this young master to create chaos, then you must be prepared for the consequences!

Ling Tian gnashed his teeth as his eyebrows shot up straight like a drawn sword!

Ling Chen sat quietly beside Ling Tian, and watched his brows furrow tightly, knowing that he was thinking about important things. She sat quietly without a word, only quietly getting up to make a cup of hot tea for him and gently placed it in front of him.

What was Ye BaiFei's relationship with what happened in Sky Bearing? Ling Tian's mind floated once more. If he didn't have a job, why would an assassin like him be so free to run to the Sky Bearing? To enjoy the view? If he had a purpose, who would it be? Yu Mantian's nemesis? Will it affect my plan? I think I should bother him again!

Light footsteps walked up to his ears as Yu BingYan and Wei XuanXuan approached. Ever since Yu BingYan opened her heart to Ling Tian, the two of them seemed to have improved their relationship by a higher level. However, Yu BingYan still looked shy. Thinking of how she openly shouted all her inner thoughts in front of her two sisters, she felt somewhat embarrassed. Now, looking at Ling Tian again, it was like a newly married wife seeing her husband for the first time; happiness, shame, and not knowing what to do!

Ling Tian restrained his smile as he looked at Yu BingYan, which caused him to subconsciously lower his head, both of his hands gripping the tip of his clothes as he glanced at Ling Tian. When their gazes met, he looked like a frightened rabbit and immediately lowered his gaze again. While Ling Tian could not see his face right now, he guessed it must be bright red!

Ling Chen and Wei XuanXuan looked at the two of them, their faces plastered with strange-looking smiles. Surprisingly, Wei XuanXuan's expression also looked a little envious, while Ling Chen's expression was a little jealous.

Just then the voice of a servant sounded from the entrance of his courtyard saying, “Reporting to the young noble, NanGong Yu from the NanGong Family is here to visit, and ask for an audience! He is currently in the big hall!”
