Chapter 293 (2/2)

While the Ling Family has Ling Tian with their prestige in Sky Bearing growing every second, they were still no more than an infant family. No matter how strong Ling Tian was, he wouldn't be able to hold the fort all by himself. The way Xiao YanXue saw it, even if the Ling Family could control the whole Sky Bearing, the Ling Family wouldn't be able to escape destruction when chaos broke out due to the Heaven Splitter!

Xiao YanXue's promise was akin to giving the Ling Family a protective talisman! Even when her family had given up on the Ling Family, Xiao YanXue had still made such a promise without obtaining approval from her family.

However, Ling Tian replied with a cold laugh and said with a perfunctory tone, ”Ah ah, if there is really such a day, I will naturally seek a.s.sistance from Miss Xiao. Ling Tian gives my thanks in advance. To thank Miss Xiao for your kindness, Miss Xiao can also send me a message when you are in danger. Regardless of the distance, I will definitely be there to aid you.” Ling Tian's words were full of sarcasm and mockery.

After leaving Ling Tian's courtyard, Xiao YanXue was actually at a loss for a moment. After taking a few steps forward, she couldn't help but turn back and look at Ling Tian's courtyard. Ling Tian's teasing could be heard from the inside accompanied by Ling Chen's giggles. As Xiao YanXue heard that, she felt that it was so friendly but yet so far away. Thus, she couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation in her heart. Even if she was the little princess of the continent's largest financial magnate and possibly would become the princess of a nation in future, she would never be able to obtain the feeling of being protected by the man she loved! As for Ling Chen, even if she was talented and beautiful, she was still no more than Ling Tian's maid. However, this maid was able to enjoy the happiness which she would never be able to enjoy.

Standing there in a daze, Xiao YanXue felt her thoughts to be completely jumbled up. After I leave, the fight over the Heaven Splitter will probably turn this place into a pile of rubble, right? What about the guy in my heart? What would happen to him?

With Ling Tian's arrogance and pride, why would he lend a helping hand to a weak lady like me when I was in trouble? Xiao YanXue stomped her foot in frustration as she thought, It seems that I have to be extremely wary.

Xiao YanXue then looked towards the courtyard with reluctance again before finally leaving.

By the gates of the Ling residence, Duke Ling and the others of the Ling Family were already bidding their farewell to Xiao FengYang. However, both parties had complicated looks on their faces. Xiao YanXue stood by the side with her head lowered, glancing around every once in a while. However, Ling Tian's suave figure had never appeared from the start to the end. Finally, everyone from the Xiao Family got on their horses as an empty gaze could be seen in Xiao YanXue's eyes. That former fiance of mine, why didn't he appear? Am I really so insignificant in his heart? Am I really incomparable to a maid?!

Xiao FengYan let out a sigh as he said with a trace of sorrow in his eyes, ”Xue'er, get on the horse.” With regards to Xiao YanXue's thoughts, Xiao FengYan was also aware of them but was completely helpless! In his trip to Sky Bearing, he had personally witnessed Ling Tian's talents, martial arts, and powerful means. With regards to Ling Tian, his original disdain transformed into admiration as he felt a trace of inferiority deep in his heart. However, the situation was already set in stone, and it was time for the relations.h.i.+p between the Ling and Xiao families to be paused. With regards to Xiao YanXue's feelings, he could only let out a helpless sigh. If things were to develop as they had predicted, it was impossible for the Ling Family to survive and for Ling Tian to survive. After a while, Xiao YanXue's feelings would probably turn into no more than a desolate memory.

An hour later, the Xiao Family's calvary sped out of the city's southern gate with a large cloud of dust being formed by the galloping horses. Xiao YanXue's horse was right at the end of the troops and she stopped her horse after traveling out a distance. Turning around to take a look at the city's thick walls, a stream of tears flowed down her cheeks.

You must live on well! Nothing must happen to you! Be it for the one you love or for any other reasons, you must definitely stay alive!

Xiao YanXue's lips trembled as she muttered under her breath with tears flowing down like rain. The sun was setting as a long desolate shadow could be seen, with the troops of the Xiao Family waiting afar with complicated expressions.

A long while later, Xiao YanXue suddenly turned her horse around and whipped it once. With a loud neigh, the horse sprinted out like an arrow shot out from a bow. The others from the Xiao Family then sped up their horses and chased after her.

These feelings can turn into memories and a mere frustration of my past!
