Chapter 233 (1/2)

Qian ShuiRou's eyes flashed with a chilly gaze as she said with cupped fists, ”Brother Ling, have a safe journey!”

Just as she cupped her fists, a dense wave of internal energy was sent out towards Ling Tian's back. In the short meal they had, Ling Tian had been on the attack with her in defense, and she was already extremely depressed from that. However, she never imagined that Ling Tian would take his leave so quickly after just ending their conversation! This made Qian ShuiRou, who wanted to find a chance to retaliate, even more depressed. Ever since she was young, she had been complimented as a peerless talent and had never suffered from such a miserable defeat before. Now that she saw Ling Tian leaving, she couldn't help but send out a probing strike!

Even if she were to lose in the scholarly arts, she must definitely make Ling Tian lose face with her martial arts!

Ling Tian continued to walk gracefully as though he didn't feel anything, but Ling Chen who was behind Ling Tian turned behind with a smile and flicked her sleeves, ”How could we trouble young n.o.ble Qian to send us off? We thank you for your kind intentions and may young n.o.ble return!” A soft inner Qi was sent out from her sleeves, like the gentle waves cras.h.i.+ng into the beach's sh.o.r.e!

When both the soft waves of inner Qi collided, not a single commotion could be seen and the waves were completely canceled out. However, the rain surrounding them disappeared completely! The rain surrounding Qian ShuiRou turned into fog while the rain surrounding Ling Chen turned into ice! This exchange ended without any winner or loser!

Qian ShuiRou's clothes fluttered slightly and her body shook slightly. She then couldn't help but look up at Ling Chen with shock in her eyes, together with elation from finding a worthy opponent.

After the two waves of inner Qi collided, Ling Chen left with Ling Tian without looking back. A chuckle could then be heard from the curtain of rain as both Ling Chen and Ling Tian melded into the scenery and could no longer be seen.

”Young… n.o.ble, are you alright? So he is Ling Tian? But young n.o.ble, why did you let him go? Isn't he one of our targets this round? Why didn't young n.o.ble…” The lady dressed as a man asked with doubt.

”Haiz!” Qian ShuiRou let out a long sigh, ”No wonder!” However, she didn't bother answering the question and entered into deep thought with a frown on her face.

I really never expected that Ling Tian was such an extraordinary individual! It seems like our goals may not be achieved this time!

Who would have thought that a random maid by his side would have such exceptional martial arts! Looking at the direction Ling Tian and Ling Chen disappeared off to, Qian ShuiRou remembered how Ling Tian seemed to have emphasized greatly on the words 'brother Qian' with a meaningful tone. Qian ShuiRou then couldn't help but mutter, ”Don't tell me… has he already seen through my disguise? That can't be right. Are his abilities really above mine?”

Thinking about this, her brows suddenly straightened as her eyes glowed with a majestic glare, ”It can't be! Even if Ling Tian is from Beyond Heavens, I don't believe that he can triumph over me! I must definitely kill him!”

”How was she?” Ling Tian turned behind and asked Ling Chen while wiping a raindrop off her face.

”Very strong! Really very strong!” Ling Chen's eyes were solemn, ”From that small exchange, Chen'er is certain that her inner strength is definitely above mine. I was only able to dissipate the force of the collision by taking a few steps back. However, she was able to receive 70% of my full strength without even moving a step.”

Ling Tian nodded his head and said, ”Let the Violent Wind Gang pay attention to these two individuals. However, they must not get into a conflict with either of them. That la.s.s's martial arts aren't weak and Ling San wouldn't be a match for her. In fact, if the two of you were to engage in a fair fight, you wouldn't be her opponent either!”

”La.s.s?” Ling Chen questioned, ”That Qian ShuiRou is a lady?”

Ling Tian nodded his head and laughed, ”A pair of la.s.ses!” he then continued, ”My Chen'er should have more confidence in herself. If she wasn't a girl, how could she s.h.i.+ft her gaze away from you so easily?”

”Young n.o.ble… you are really too naughty!” Ling Chen's face turned red as she hammered Ling Tian, ”You make it sound as though I'm a…” as she said that, she didn't want to finish her sentence and continued hammering Ling Tian, ”You're too naughty, too naughty!” At the same time, she felt unresigned in her heart,

Am I really weaker than her?

As both of them walked back to the Ling residence, Long Xiang who was here to pay Ling Ran a visit had already returned back to the palace. Knowing that Old Madam Ling was with Ling Ran, Ling Tian took the name list and went to find her.

Seeing Ling Tian arrive, Princess JiaoYue's face turned red as she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. Thus, she hid behind Old Madam Ling.

Old Madam Ling and Chu Ting'er were chatting happily with a look of joy on their faces. Even Ling Ran, who was currently on the bed, was full of joy with her face red from elation.
