Chapter 245 (2/2)

Seeing that the two of them were about to come to blows, Ling Chen stood by the side worrying helplessly, but she couldn't do a thing. On the other hand, Yu BingYan was curiously looking at her prospective father-in-law with a look of disbelief on her face as she spoke, ”Sister Chen, that's Ling Tian's father, the Sky Bearing G.o.d of War? Ling Xiao?! Grand Marshall Ling?!”

”This is… yes, yes he is, haiz!” Ling Chen tried to divert the topic but failed, and could only admit it. She couldn't help but feel embarra.s.sed for Ling Tian. Between family members it would be fine, but you just had to do it with two of your future daughters-in-law spectating by the side; in the future, how are you going to be a fatherly figure? This was the saying, 'throwing away your face, throwing it all the way outside your country'!

Seeing that the situation was not in his favor, Ling Tian immediately wriggled free and made a break for it. Ling Xiao hesitated for a while, eventually picking up the two jars of wine and chasing after him, hollering all the while. Just like that, the Ling Residence was plunged into chaos in the early morning.

The chase of the father and the running of the son finally caught the attention of all the higher ups!

Old Madam Ling and Chu Ting'er immediately came out to put a stop to it. After asking about the situation, they immediately berated Ling Xiao and severely warned Ling Tian never to hand over any of his wines to Ling Xiao, ever! Ling Xiao was only allowed to drink a few cups during celebratory occasions, and even had to go through approval by Old Madam Ling! Ling Tian was all smiles when he heard that, nodding his head repeatedly like a hen pecking for food.

As for Chu Ting'er, she was even crueler. She immediately wrestled the two jars of wine away that Ling Xiao was holding in his bosom, making him so heartbroken he kept grinding his teeth. However, he had no say in this matter, and could only stare.

Ling Tian had obtained an overwhelming victory this time. Just as he was delightedly going back to his little courtyard, a servant rushed up to them. ”Reporting to Old Madam, Sire, Madam and the Young n.o.ble! The XiMen family has sent an invitation over!”

Old Madam Ling glanced drily at Ling Tian, ”Probably some mess you created, right? Go solve it yourself.” She then dragged Chu Ting'er, together with the two jars of wine and left the scene.

Ling Xiao stared wistfully at the two jars being taken away and could only let out a long sigh. Seeing that the servant was staring at him, he snapped, ”Whoever created the trouble should go solve it, so why are you looking at me!” After which he stared daggers at Ling Tian, ”Little brat, you wait for this old man, see how I take care of you!” Then he walked away looking like a rooster which was just defeated!

However, this phrase of Grand Marshall Ling had been repeated for at least a few hundred times, but he never carried it out once!

Ling Tian could only bitterly laugh and accept the invitation.

Returning to his little courtyard, a faint smile hung on his mouth.

”Young n.o.ble, what are you so happy about?” Ling Chen asked as she approached him with Yu BingYan in tow. Yesterday, the two ladies had fled like frightened rabbits back into the carriage when they had heard the pitiful wailings and did not see the actual b.l.o.o.d.y scenario, so their mental states were particularly good. This was especially so for Yu BingYan, who considered herself privy to the internal matters of the Ling Family, and could already be considered approved by the Lings, thus she was in her own land of happiness.

”Oh, it's because of this. Take a look.” Ling Tian pa.s.sed over the invite, and the two ladies huddled closer, craning their necks to take a look.

”... thus all talented heroes under heavens, converge like bright gems;

the golden opportunity of a lifetime goes to them.

Taking step by step for a thousand miles, boiling tea at Smoky Thea;

how much of a pleasure it would be if all heroes were to swap sword for pen to challenge me!

I've long heard that young n.o.ble is well-versed scholarly, and creative in wit, truly a talent of Sky Bearing! If I could get the young n.o.ble to grace me with his presence, and exhibit your graceful demeanor, I believe this scholarly meet would be enriched by twofold! Young n.o.ble has a refined temperament, which leaves us desiring to raise our heads to look at you as well as to hear your poetry! Yours Sincerely, Junior XiMen Qing!” Ling Chen read out loud, and before she had finished reading, both the ladies' eyes were already s.h.i.+ning!

”Hey! Brother Tian, it's a scholarly meet! Let's go let's go!” Yu BingYan immediately stepped forward, grabbing onto Ling Tian's arm and swinging it back and fro. ”I really want to see all the literary experts gather together and see how much poetry they can write that will be pa.s.sed down for eternity!”

Ling Chen, whose hand was clutching onto the invite, also smiled sweetly at Ling Tian, the desire in her eyes apparent.

Ling Tian could only shake his head helplessly. He already predicted that the scholarly meeting would be a hard to resist temptation for the two ladies, and he was right! He couldn't help but think,

Seems like poetry and songwriting are popular no matter which world we're in. No wonder those main characters from reincarnation books can have droves of females throwing themselves at them with just a sentence! Wait a minute… does that mean that this young n.o.ble can also give it a try…? Heheheheheheheh!

Stroking his chin, he began to wickedly smile to himself. The two ladies by his side immediately got the gooseb.u.mps when they saw his smile!
