Chapter 228 (1/2)
”What did he say?” Chu Ting'er asked with a frown.
”Young n.o.ble said… he will be waiting in his courtyard and the NanGong Family head can find him there.” after finis.h.i.+ng that sentence, her back was full of perspiration and her head lowered. Her young n.o.ble was just far too rude.
”That vile beast!” Indeed, Chu Ting'er flew into a rage, ”He actually dares to be so rude! I will go and…”
”Wait!” NanGong TianLong stood up, ”Ah ah, don't be mad, madam. This old man was the one who is here to pay a visit to him and I should indeed go over to find him. I thank madam for informing him previously.” NanGong TianLong knew that Ling Tian was flaunting his prestige in front of him. While he was extremely depressed in his heart, the present situation was much more critical. Thus, he still had a friendly smile on his face.
”Ah? Ah ah ah, Family Head NanGong is too polite. You are indeed magnanimous.” Chu Ting'er's face changed almost immediately, ”Chun Tao, what are you waiting for? Quickly lead the way for Family Head NanGong! Tell that darn brat that Family Head NanGong is the esteemed guest of our Ling residence and he mustn't mistreat Family Head NanGong.”
Seeing NanGong TianLong walk out with the maid, Chu Ting'er let out a sigh of relief. Her face then broke out into a smile as she muttered, ”You little b*st*rd, just see if I take care of you in the future! Hmph, you actually dared to keep me in the dark for so long! However, he is still much better than that wooden block father of his! This is what my son should be like!” She then returned to her room with satisfaction.
Ling Tian had an amiable smile on his face with his slightly rosy cheeks and suave appearance. He looked completely harmless with a harmonious smile in his eyes. He then calmly sat there as he sized up the Family Head of one of the Eight Great Families, NanGong TianLong.
NanGong TianLong had a squarish face, with a large nose and mouth and a face with a full beard. However, his eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with energy with along with a well built and burly body. On the surface, he looked exactly like Yu ManTian, a straightforward and brash man who didn't know how to scheme. However, his calm-like-river eyes and profound gaze told Ling Tian that he would be a complete fool to treat NanGong TianLong like a brash individual!
While Ling Tian was sizing NanGong TianLong up, NanGong TianLong was also doing the same.
Was this frail-looking teen who looked like he would shy away from a conversation the number one silkpants in Sky Bearing? Was this the young n.o.ble of the Ling Family who recently revealed his frightening might and cruel means?! Just how many other unknown sides does this teen have?
You really cannot judge a book by its cover!
They both let out a sigh in their hearts.
”It must be tough for Family Head NanGong to come from afar. How can I trouble Family Head NanGong to visit me personally? Quick, be seated.” Ling Tian stood up warmly and gave up his seat, ”Chen'er, serve some tea to let Family Head NanGong wash away his fatigue.”
In the room, Ling Chen acknowledged Ling Tian's words and walked out with a tea set.
”Family Head is probably here for brother NanGong Le's affairs, right?” Ling Tian took the initiative to start the conversation, letting out a long sigh as he continued with a solemn tone, ”While Ling Tian didn't have much interaction with brother NanGong Le, I greatly admired that straightforward manly vibe of his. For brother NanGong Le to come to Sky Bearing, I originally wanted to build a good relations.h.i.+p with him. Who would have imagined that the nightmare would befall so suddenly, and my brother was actually so brutally killed? For such a talent to fall, it is really the tragedy of the century! It really makes me extremely sad to hear about that. Ling Tian should be the one to visit you but I never expected Family Head to place such great importance on me and pay a personal visit. Ling Tian is really overwhelmed by the favor you show me.” Ling Tian's words were obviously no different from nonsense. For NanGong Le to have a 'straightforward manly vibe', he probably only displayed that in the brothel. As for when Ling Tian said 'for a talent to fall, it is really the tragedy of the century', it was no different from complete nonsense! NanGong Le couldn't even be compared to a coward, so how could he be considered a hero?
However, the effect of these words was still rather obvious, quickly closing the gap between the two. Especially after hearing someone mention the death of his son, NanGong TianLong revealed a painful expression, ”That's right, Le'er's death must be avenged! Our NanGong Family will never coexist with the Yang Family!”
Ling Tian responded with an 'oh' before asking, ”From what I have heard, the culprit who murdered brother NanGong Le had not been found up till today. How does Family Head NanGong know that the Yang Family was the culprit? Doesn't Family Head suspect that there is another party who is intentionally sowing discord between the two families to prevent your merger?”
”Young n.o.ble Ling is an intelligent man. Why do you have to test me like that?” NanGong TianLong let out a bitter laughter, ”After this incident, the Yang Family tried various means to cover it up and mystify the whole incident. But no matter what, they were unable to conceal the fact that the Yang Family was the culprit of that incident!”
”Oh?” Ling Tian was truly puzzled. In truth, he also didn't know why NanGong TianLong was so certain that the Yang Family was the culprit.
