Chapter 43 (1/2)
Mister Qin laughed heartily, saying, ”It’s rare to see Brother Xiao. Since we’re staying in the same residence currently, this Qin would like to take the opportunity to have a good chat with Brother Xiao, so I was impulsive in coming over. Brother Xiao, please understand.”
Xiao FengHan smiled slightly as he replied, ”What kind of words are those, Brother Qin? For you to grace my quarters with your presence is to overwhelm this little me with favor! Please, take a seat.”
Glancing at the side, Ling Tian had sat down on a chair long ago and even placed a leg under his b.u.t.tocks to cus.h.i.+on them while sitting down, being totally uncouth. Casually swiping the snacks on the table, he put them in his mouth and spat them out with a ”peipei” sound, saying, ”Not nice! Not nice!” Mister Qin turned towards the latter, coughing loudly twice.
Xiao FengHan felt even more unhappy and could only reluctantly hold his loathing in his heart as he spoke, ”Young master, to visit this old man in the night, may I know what matter you have?”
Ling Tian scratched his little head before replying, ”A moment ago, I just thought of it. Xiao… oops, Grandpa Xiao, you brought out the topic of annulling the marriage agreement today, this, this… it seems a little inappropriate.”
Thunder flashed across Xiao FengHan’s face as he retorted, ”What is inappropriate about it? This is already a foregone conclusion, and besides, it should be your grandfather coming to look for me instead!” He implied that as a kid, he did not have the authority!
Ling Tian, however, shook his head, ”Grandpa Xiao, you are mistaken. Whether the marriage goes through or fails is part of Ling Tian’s life blessings, so even if my grandfather were to intercede on my behalf, he would not be able to express my heart’s thoughts.”
This made Xiao FengHan blow up! Ever since he had taken the position of family head in the last decade, this was the first time someone dared to tell him in his face that he was wrong! His face immediately fell as he snapped, ”Then, according to you, what should we do?”
Ling Tian merely smiled, ”I heard that the marriage arrangement that year was facilitated by grandpa Xiao yourself, is that true?”
Xiao FengHan had an icy expression, ”Yes, that’s right! That year, it was this old man’s idea that both of us families become relatives.”
Ling Tian smiled brightly as he continued, ”That being the case, the arrangement was also cancelled by grandpa Xiao today, and this matter was also heard by all others there, including this little one, am I wrong for saying so?”
Xiao FengHan was growing ever impatient, and hearing him speak more nonsense, he wanted to pick him up and throw him out. Forcefully regaining his composure, he replied again, ”Yes! That was done by this old man.” However, he was thinking: If it wasn’t for the fact that you were too disappointing, why would I be the bad guy and do such a thing?
The same Ches.h.i.+re cat grin was still plastered on Ling Tian’s face as he pressed on, ”Thus, the reason why Grandpa Xiao wanted to annul the marriage was because Ling Tian is too disappointing, and you’re afraid that I would interfere with Miss Xiao’s happiness, am I correct?”
With a face of disdain, Xiao FengHan replied, ”Seems like you are not completely unaware of everything.” What he implied was that Ling Tian had hit the jackpot.
Ling Tian’s face fell and his body straightened up as he spoke, ”If that is the case, then grandpa Xiao would be engaging and annulling as and when he sees fit. For what reason, we shall not say, but the truth is that for both families’ matters, all decisions were made by grandpa Xiao alone, as though the clouds come when your palm faces up and the rain comes when your palm faces down. Doing whatever you like, totally uncaring of the feelings of the Ling family?” This sentence completely showed off Ling Tian’s ability, domineering beyond belief!
”Impudent!” Xiao FengHan would never have imagined that this little kid could actually come up with such a sentence. If this matter got leaked out, how much waves would it actually cause? Thus, he definitely lost control! Smas.h.i.+ng a palm down on the table in front of Ling Tian with a violent bang, the st.u.r.dy table actually turned into a pile of wood chips!
Inner strength!
Ling Tian’s pupils contracted, his heart seeming like it was struck with a heavy blow from a steel hammer! d.a.m.n it! Since when did this world have such a thing?! Why was it that this old fellow in front of him could use it as and when he liked?
Ling Tian believed his vision did not fail him, and that in his fury, Xiao FengHan had actually performed an internal cultivator’s inner Qi! It was only that it was conspicuously mixed, unable to hold a candle to the orthodox Qi produced by the Divine Shocking Dragon Formula that Ling Tian practiced. Furthermore, it did not look like his internal strength was deep, more like he had just scratched the surface.
