Chapter 229 (1/2)
”That's right, the NanGong Family is a famous family from the southeast region and all who come out from there will definitely live up to their fame!” Ling Tian almost burst out laughing and he raised his teacup to NanGong TianLong, ”Chen'er, bring the best wine in my room over. My mood is good today and this young n.o.ble will have a good drink with Family Head NanGong.”
”Young n.o.ble Ling is too polite,” after NanGong TianLong declined Ling Tian modestly, he remembered the reason he came here today, ”haiz, I am really ashamed. This old man is here to seek forgiveness from young n.o.ble Ling.”
”Oh?” Ling Tian's eyes lit up but his tone was still indifferent, ”What kind of a crime did Family Head NanGong commit? Besides, I am still young and belong to the younger generation. How can I accept such words from Family Head NanGong?”
NanGong TianLong's face contorted in misery, ”Let us not beat around the bush any further. For the past few years, our NanGong Family was foolish and listened to that old b*st*rd Yang KongQun. To think that we actually had covetous thoughts and violated your Ling Family. I hope that young n.o.ble Ling will forgive us.” As he said that, NanGong TianLong took out a small notebook and placed it on the table.
The moment they met, NanGong TianLong was already certain that Ling Tian wasn't someone easy to deal with. Before he even had a chance to open his mouth, Ling Tian had already led the conversation in a large round-about fas.h.i.+on.
With regards to the alliance between both their families and Ling Tian's conditions, NanGong TianLong was certain that Ling Tian would definitely lead the conversation in circles if he didn't mention it himself. While Ling Tian was in no hurry at all, his own NanGong Family couldn't wait any longer! Because of this, NanGong TianLong decided to be resolute and took the initiative to offer the notebook of names.
While he didn't seem to care much on the surface, he was already trembling under his robes! These people were elites that the NanGong Family had spent a large amount of effort to train! Once he handed them over, his NanGong Family would no longer be able to spy on the Ling Family's strength. Furthermore, their information net in Sky Bearing would also be completely dissolved! From today on, the NanGong Family would be blind in Sky Bearing without any source of information!
The losses and damage suffered by the NanGong Family couldn't even be estimated!
However, if they could form an alliance with the Ling Family, those losses could still be accepted!
With an expressionless face, Ling Tian took the notebook in his hands and casually flipped through it before throwing it to the side. It was as though Ling Tian felt that the notebook was completely useless.
NanGong TianLong's eyes narrowed as he thought,
This brat is really difficult to deal with!
”Family Head NanGong,” Ling Tian's appearance turned solemn, ”since we are now open with each other, let us not mix personal and business matters. However, we do have to be clear about some things. I believe Family Head NanGong also knows that in the current situation, the Yang Family surely wouldn't dare to touch my Ling Family no matter how bold he is. So, my Ling Family can be said to be without any worries and we definitely have the ability to watch the war from the sidelines! I wonder if Family Head NanGong has anything to say about that?”
NanGong TianLong let out a long sigh and said with a tinge of sadness, ”That's right. While the Ling Family does have some troubles, they aren't anything difficult to take care of. With young n.o.ble's wisdom, they definitely won't be a problem. This old man is still extremely clear about that.”
Ling Tian nodded his head with praise and said, ”With your NanGong Family's eagerness to seek revenge, it will only be akin to me finding trouble for myself if both our families were to form an alliance!” Ling Tian said with a sigh, ”I wonder what we should do?”
NanGong TianLong's face sunk as he said, ”If the Ling Family can lend my NanGong Family a helping hand, we will definitely give our thanks! Furthermore, the alliance is also extremely beneficial to young n.o.ble. If we can cause irreparable damage to the Yang Family, Sky Bearing will belong to your Ling Family. Furthermore, your Ling Family has close ties to the Imperial Family and even if the young n.o.ble… ah ah ah, it may not be impossible.”
Ling Tian smiled and shook his head, ”Family Head NanGong is wrong. To be honest, the present Yang Family isn't anything to be feared by me! If not for the fact that I cannot personally… besides that, it is definitely a taboo for my Ling Family to help your NanGong Family to deal with the Yang Family. The Imperial Family would definitely grow wary of us, and the consequences of that would definitely be great.”
