Ling Chen nodded once, then immediately left to deliver the message.

Ling Tian had a grave expression as he looked at Ling Jian, ”Ah’Jian, who is the fourth target?”

An expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry appeared on Ling Jian’s face as he stuttered, ”Cough… actually, the fourth target is of nearly negligible strength, so he’s used mainly as a backup. Because General Ling is heavily guarded, the a.s.sa.s.sins might not be able to execute their task. They decided that in the event they couldn't a.s.sa.s.sinate the general, then they would settle for someone else, then push the blame to another family to create chaos. However, because this person is too easily killed, the rewards are divided in half!”

Ling Tian opened his eyes wide in astonishment, finally bursting into crazed laughter, ”So… the fourth target, isn’t it the Ling’s young n.o.ble, which is me?”

Ling JIan let out a bout of laughter as well. ”That’s right, the target is you, young n.o.ble! To think the young n.o.ble not only isn't important enough to be in the top three, but also…”

”... and also has the reward cut in half!” Ling Tian replied a little grumpily. ”Is this young n.o.ble really not worth anything?” He felt a little depressed in his heart. All of them were worth ten thousand taels of gold, but he alone was only worth five thousand! And the worst part was that he didn't even make it into the first three targets, but was just a backup plan. They were looking down on him too much!”

Ling Jian held onto his stomach as he laughed non-stop, gasping for breath. When he had first received this news, he had collapsed on the floor in laughter, together with the other Ling brothers. Upon hearing this again, he couldn't help but let out another bout of crazed laughter.

Ling Tian cursed, followed by helplessly laughing as he said, ”This plan isn't bad. I just realized that I’m actually such an important figure! To think that my influence could actually be so huge, I should feel honored! Too honored! When the time comes, I want to see who is the person who has the honors to actually try to a.s.sa.s.sinate me!”

At this moment, Ling Chen walked in, and after hearing Ling Jian describe the situation to her, she also couldn't help but to double over in laughter, saying, ”This Crown Prince from Northern Wei is really too funny. Young n.o.ble, your life is actually only worth half of theirs, hahaha, this is going to kill me!”

”Just from the perspective of their plan, this isn’t funny for them!” Ling Tian’s face grew grave as he commented, ”While this plan sounds insane, if they actually succeed in killing Yu ManTian and Yu BingYan, then all the major powers in Sky Bearing would be dragged into the muddied waters, unable to escape! As for my side, once something happens to my father, chaos will ensue in the entire Sky Bearing internal section! If they a.s.sa.s.sinate my father, then the troops will be like a group of dragons without a head, and it will lead to a mess. However, if they kill me, my father would also have no heart for the upcoming battle. If they managed to use the Yang Family as scapegoats, then without Northern Wei’s interference, Sky Bearing would immediately split up into numerous factions! At that time, with all the different factions embroiled in conflict, Northern Wei just has to swoop in from the side and it can completely swallow up Sky Bearing!”

”What a sinister plan!” Hearing Ling Tian break it out for them, Ling Jian couldn't help but be tongue-tied.

”While it is sinister and vicious,” Li

ng Chen’s face took on a pondering expression, ”this plan has a heavenly huge loophole. How could Wei ChengPing have neglected it? If he were such a person, then how could he even talk about victory?”

”Oh? Tell me more.” Ling Tian’s eyes hid a glimpse of happiness as he looked towards Ling Chen, encouraging her to voice her thoughts.

”The linchpin of this entire plan lies in the Yu Family! The Northern Wei crown princes schemes to a.s.sa.s.sinate Yu ManTian as well as Yu BingYan, to incite the entire community into chaos. This is their strongest point, but also their weakest link, the central axis at which the whole plan revolves around!”
