Chapter 93 (1/2)
Ling Tian and Ling Chen were on horseback, rus.h.i.+ng back to the Ling Residence.
”Chen’er, how was it just now?” Seeing Ling Chen’s flushed cheeks, full of joy, Ling Tian could not resist laughing.
Ling Chen pouted in response, ”Those few jerks are becoming more and more sly, it took me a lot more trouble to beat them up this time.”
”Hahaha, how easy did you expect it to be?” As Ling Tian thought of how the five of them lying on the ground in miserable conditions when he and Ling Chen left, he could not help but laugh out loud. Even though those fellows were mostly pretending, it was no lie that they did suffered under the hands of Ling Chen! Ling Tian had merely given them a few tips before he left the courtyard with Ling Chen.
Ling Chen shook her waist, rolling her eyes flirtatiously at him. Then, she giggled and urged her horse forward, rus.h.i.+ng in front.
Ling Tian laughed as he chased after her. Their conversation was faintly discernable, drifting about in the wind, ”Tonight, you can go try out that secretive…”
In the Rites Minister’s Residence.
The lanterns were lit in the early evening, turning the residence into a ma.s.s of flickering lights.
Within a specially constructed courtyard, a few people sat facing each other with grim expressions on their faces.
With the same disguised face, the little princess of the Yu Family, Yu BingYan, sat between two parties, a hand propping up her chin with her expression filled with worry.
Those two middle aged women who had accompanied her during the daytime were sitting by one side. Inside the room, there were another five to six more people, all seated in an orderly position. In the shadows of the room sat another indistinct silhouette, without uttering a single word.
”...that Young n.o.ble Ling definitely hidden himself very well. Someone so knowledgeable yet able to conceal himself so well, this is the first time I met someone like that.” One of the middle aged women was talking. In her tone, one could sense traces wariness as well as an unrestrained admiration.
”That’s right. Although this man is well-learned and cultured, his schemes run deep. This humble one feels that little princess should maintain your distance from him.” The other middle aged female bodyguard replied.
Yu BingYan's brows knitted in hesitation before turning to the silent figure enveloped in darkness, ”Uncle Xue, you’ve always been by my side, what do you think of this?”
The shadow at the corner shook, and it was only after a long while did he finally reply. His voices was sonorous and grating, much like two metals colliding with each other, ”I am unable to see through this person. He feels, very dangerous!”
”Dangerous? Uncle Xue, could you possibly be mistaken? He is only a feeble scholar, how could he let you feel danger? And where would the danger be from?” Yu BingYan giggled as she spoke.
”He, definitely feels dangerous!” Uncle Xue, who was in the shadows, did not attempt to refute her, and only heavily repeated what he just said before closing his mouth.
Yu BingYan pondered deeply for a while before revealing a desolate expression in her eyes, ”Even though he might be dangerous, but what else can I do? I only wish to learn painting from him, what else could I amount to with my body, my status, as well as my incoming fate?”
Everyone turned solemn at this, as they looked towards Yu BingYan with concern in their eyes.
One of the middle aged women could not help but comfort her, ”If Little Princess only wishes to learn painting from him, that can be easily settled. The celebration will go on for another three days and he will definitely reappear. At that time, if Little Princess could request for him to teach you together with Lady Wei, I’m sure he won't reject you right?” Although this was phrased as a question, the woman’s tone was full of confidence.
