Chapter 76 (1/2)
Ling Tian rolled his eyes, saying, ”Not interested! I’m definitely not interested!”
”Oh?!” w.a.n.g Bo’s eyes flashed as he said, ”I heard that young n.o.ble Yang as well as the Crown Prince would be there, isn’t brother Ling interested in joining them for some fun and games?”
Ling Tian’s eyes brightened at this as he thought, ”Turns out that these few playthings will be present too! This is getting more interesting! Since I have nothing on my hands right now, might as well look for them to seek for pleasure! Maybe I would be able to find something of value from this few idiots…”
Having affirmed his decision, Ling Tian let out a hearty laughter, ”Since there are so many ladies from all those prestigious families waiting for this little brother here, it would be rude of me not to pay them a visit. How about this, little brother here will be there at the agreed time, but Brother w.a.n.g, you must not s.n.a.t.c.h any beauties with me!”
w.a.n.g Bo could not help but roll his eyes, innately scolding himself for being a busybody. Based on the att.i.tude of this little guy, how would he fail to turn up at a place full of beauties?
Thinking about it, he still decided to warn Ling Tian, ”Young n.o.ble Ling, don’t forget to come with guards. All those people there are of high positions, if a fight happens to break out, being alone and defenseless would make you an easy target!”
Ling Tian rolled his eyes, saying: ”Don’t tell me I’m that easy a target?”
w.a.n.g Bo was first stunned. Then, he remembered the fact that sitting in front of him was actually the person who was given the t.i.tle of 'Top Silkpants under the Heavens'. For such a matter, there was of course no need for him to worry! w.a.n.g Bo then coughed dryly a few times. Seeing as there was nothing more to do, he decided to take his leave.
Ling Tian could not muster up the enthusiasm to ask the person to stay for a meal, and so followed the flow to send him out politely. Only when he had walked far did Ling Tian finally heave a sigh of relief.
Rus.h.i.+ng back to his little courtyard, he realized that Ling Chen had long ago came out of the room, smiling mischievously at him.
Ling Tian stared at her, saying, ”What’s so funny? Is there a meaning in watching me play sham gestures of politeness with those silkpants?”
Ling Chen let out a peal of laughter at that. ”It seems like young n.o.ble is the limelight of all the silkpants in the capital, how did he end up hating the silkpants?”
Ling Tian only glared viciously at her, before letting out a long sigh and collapsing on a rattan chair, putting his legs up and crossing them.
Ling Chen could see that his mood was not good, and did not dare to poke fun with him any longer. Instead, she walked slowly towards him, furrowing her brows as she spoke, ”Young n.o.ble, in actuality, you need not continue pretending any longer with our current strength. Young n.o.ble is being too unjust with yourself, Chen’er does not understand, why does young n.o.ble not carry out the operation right now?”
Ling Tian let out another sigh before opening his mouth, ”The reasons are many, but the primary one is that I do not dare, not that I can’t. Furthermore, this is not the best timing!”
Ling Chen stared with wide opened eyes. ”You don’t dare? In this world, whom or what can make my young n.o.ble so apprehensive?”
Ling Tian sat up straight, before solemnly saying, ”Chen’er, your young n.o.ble is not infallible! In this wide world, all sorts of talent and marvels can appear, all beyond our own imaginations! Firstly, all the countries are recruiting but not moving out, waiting for a catalyst to break the balance. The first to mobilize, would definitely end up as the target for the others. Thus, n.o.body wants to be the scapegoat and go first! Secondly, while the radius of our intelligence report might be growing more and more robust, but have you noticed? There is consistently one part which has not seen improvement, and it is a crucial and serious point!”
Baffled, Ling Chen questioned, ”Which part is that exactly?”
