Chapter 227 (2/2)

”Good! Since you're not afraid, then Ling Chen will be your superior from today onwards. If you can't complete your task for the day, then Ling Chen will tell you what your punishment is!” Ling Tian put an end to the topic!

As such, he could use this chance to develop a strong foundation in painting for Yu BIngYan, then use this to develop a martial skill. With Ling Chen by her side to guide and protect her, it was killing two birds with one stone.

The two ladies immediately agreed, looking at each other and smiling. Ling Chen, of course, understood Ling Tian's intentions in letting her do this, so her smile appeared weird. Ling Tian shot her a glare before coughing twice to hide it. Realizing that his objective had been met and that he had nothing else to do, he sat back down, before suddenly springing up as he remembered something. Turning to Yu BingYan he said, ”Yan'er, now that you're considered at the threshold, remember this. Whatever you draw in the morning should be with your heart and those in the afternoon, with intent! When you have reached the stage of having the heart but not the intention, that is when your Dao has reached the small success stage! These words on heart and intent are similar to the martial arts books, so you can slowly sift them out and learn. There are myriad beings and Daos in the world, with countless paths for everyone to walk, but all roads eventually lead to the same end. Remember this!”

Yu BingYan was long aware that Ling Tian was a hidden expert of the martial way and definitely wouldn't take his words as mere gibberish. She only mumbled to herself, ”Having the heart but not the intent…?” She seemed to have been thrown into deep contemplation.

A pretty maid walked over at this point, ”Young n.o.ble, Madam requests your presence in the hall.”

Ling Tian straightened himself, asking, ”What is it regarding?”

”The NanGong Family Head, NanGong TianLong has already arrived, asking specifically to see you.” The maid timidly replied.

”Oh,” Was all Ling Tian replied with before seating himself back down. ”NanGong TianLong specifically asked for me? Must I show him face now? What a joke! Just because he wants to see me, I've got to run over like a dog? Since when did the NanGong Family have such a big face?”

The maid stared in shock. For someone of NanGong TianLong's ident.i.ty, secretly coming over to Sky Bearing, personally coming over to the Ling Family, and 'requesting' to see the young n.o.ble, how much of an honor was that! However, their young n.o.ble seemed to totally not reciprocate that kindness!

”Go and tell the NanGong Family head that I'm waiting over here for him, and ask him to come over to find me.” Ling Tian continued in a lazy tone.

Since he's already delivered himself to my doorstep, haha, might as well go all the way!

The maid hesitated a little, not moving, instead stammering, ”But the Madam said…”

Ling Tian glared at her, ”Go! Now!”

The Madam of the Ling Family, Chu Ting'er, was even more confused over this whole situation. The head of the NanGong Family, one of the Eight Great Families, actually came over to visit them and was even courteous and polite to her! Luckily, her name as G.o.ddess of Fortune put her above the rest of the ladies, and while having some small talk with this big shot, she constantly looked at the door, wondering why that brat wasn't here yet.

While both of them were talking, they could tell that the other party was already showing signs of impatience, yet had no choice but to continue talking, making both of them equally depressed! His coming to Sky Bearing was supposed to be a secret, and coming over to visit Ling Tian was even more under wraps, so why did the Ling Family not feel as though this was an important matter! To even have the maid dilly-dallying along, how could the news of him stay under wraps?

Before long, the maid sent to report the news came rus.h.i.+ng over. ”Where's your young n.o.ble? Why is he not here?!” Seeing that she only came alone, Chu Ting'er asked with a furious expression.

The maid could only stammer, ”Young n.o.ble said, young n.o.ble said…” Sneaking a glance at her Madam's expression, she didn't dare to continue.
