Chapter 96 (1/2)

”Oh? Sister, don’t tell me you like that silkpants?” Wei XuanXuan looked at Yu BingYan teasingly.

”Ah… you, sister… what are you talking about?” Yu BingYan’s face turned red as she stomped her feet on the ground. However, she forgot that she was in a sedan, making the sedan shake unsteadily as the porters began to groan.

”Hehe… sister, from how this fellow is able to endure so well, he is probably someone who will accomplish much in future. You.. should also consider him.” Wei XuanXuan eyes flashed. While she was saying that with a teasing smile, she meant something else within those words.

”Haiz!” Yu BingYan sighed and said, ”How is it possible for me to not know that? Young n.o.ble Ling is of such a young age but has such a resolute character. How can it possible for him to be someone ordinary?”

Wei XuanXuan then approached her ears and whispered, ”While the Ling family does not have any real strength now, the Ling family is still the biggest family in the Sky Bearing Empire. Furthermore, with someone like Ling Tian in the Ling family, this sister feels that you should seize the opportunity.”

Yu BingYan’s eyes turned serious as she considered the matter for a while before replying, ”While it may be of some help, it wouldn’t be of much effect. You should also know, a battle fought at that level is not something which families like the Ling or Yang can take part in. Besides that, it will only harm him. I cannot.”

Wei XuanXuan then exclaimed softly before quickly covering her mouth as she said nervously, ”BingYan, you… can’t possibly be really moved right?”

Yu BingYan’s eyes revealed a dim glow of depression as she said, ”Even if I am moved, what can I do? You should also know about my body; how can I even find that person? Even if I find him and he agrees to help, I only have a few years left. A mere three years! Since I already know the ending, why should I drag another person down into bitterness with me? Whether or not I am moved, I will never do this. I only wish for him to pa.s.s by these few years well…”

Wei XuanXuan’s face turned dim as she thought for a moment, ”Actually, there is a way…”

As she said that, Yu BingYan interrupted her with a wave, ”Sister, you do not need to say any further! I, Yu BingYan, will rather die then do that!”

Wei XuanXuan hurriedly said, ”But...but they already have men in the Sky Bearing Empire! This is the best excuse! Wouldn’t it be a waste for you to miss such an opportunity?”

Yu BingYan then said coldly, ”I have already decided, you do not need to say anything else!” Wei XuanXuan’s face turned serious and did not say anything else.

As though Yu BingYan felt bad, she said in a gentler tone, ”Sister, the both of us are actually just pitiful ladies who are under the arrangement of destine. Why should we create more troubles?”

Wei XuanXuan then sighed, ”You are just too kind. I have always found it strange as to why the old ancestor will give you such a name? With jade and ice in your name, making you sound like a cold and callous individual. But, you are instead someone with such a benevolent heart!” [1]

Yu BingYan then smiled, ”This, you better ask the old ancestor to find out.”

Wei XuanXuan stuck out her tongue and said, ”Hehe, I won’t dare to.” The two ladies then laughed, was.h.i.+ng away the previously tense atmosphere.

Ling Tian took Ling Chen who was dressed as a man, approaching the door sneakily. With regards to Feng, Yun, Lei, Dian and Chi, Ling Tian had already taught them whatever he could and the rest was up to them. But in the past two days, Ling Chen trained with the five of them everyday and grew more excited by the day. Seeing how the five cold blooded killers would first not know whether to laugh or cry, then grimacing in pain, then begging for mercy with bruises all over and finally lying on the floor unable to move, Ling Chen felt extremely carefree and enjoyable. Everyday, she would plead to Ling Tian to go again the next day when they just reached home. After a few days, the few a.s.sa.s.sins did not dare to voice out their grievances. As they were trained by Ling Chen’s cruel beatings, they also experienced a great increase in their strength!

With regards to the strange hobby which Ling Chen developed, Ling Tian also chose to stay silent about it. Today morning, Ling Chen had already prepared fully and pulled Ling Tian out of the blanket which he was comfortably snuggled in.

When the gates of the Ling family mansion was already in sight, the few servants guarding the gate had already greeted Ling Tian from afar. Ling Chen could not help but reveal an excited expression as she thought to herself, ”I can finally torture those few brats good again!” Thinking about the few moves which Ling Tian taught her last night, Ling Chen wished that she could grow wings to fly to those brats and torture them immediately.

”Stop there! Where are you going?!” A familiar voice sounded as Chu Ting’er questioned with anger. At that moment, both the faces of Ling Tian and Ling Chen sulked as they heard the voice.

After turning around slowly, Ling Tian forced out a smile, ”Haha, good morning mother. The morning air is so fresh today. The birds and singing, skies are clear… it is really such a beautiful day. Even the most unpleasant mood would be lifted with such a beautiful weather...hehe.”
