Chapter 337 (1/2)
”Yes!” Under the awe-inspiring presence of Yu ManLou, the black-robed elder could only feel as though his back was covered in cold sweat. Three hundred White Jade cultivators, and five hundred Purple Jade cultivators, that was almost 80% of the main force from the Yu Family! To think that their head viewed the Ling Family so highly. However, as though he had thought of something, the elder raised his head to speak, ”Head, however, based on the customs in Heavenly Star, the bride has to return to her family after the engagement, and only move over after they were formally married…”
Yu ManLou coldly snorted at this, ”I naturally have my own preparations for this. At that time, BingYan will suddenly develop a 'serious illness'. Thus the Ling Family cannot chase her out of their house! Furthermore, the Martial Order Medallion has already been used, so how long does Ling Tian still have? We can't delay this!”
”Family head has foresight!” The old man b.u.t.tered him up. ”This servant will get your matters done now.”
Yu ManLou waved his hands, ”Be quick!”
Following the old man's departure, a black-robed middle-aged man drifted in the window like a specter. This was the expert bodyguard that never left Yu ManLou's side.
”Wu Po, how goes things at Western Han?” Yu ManLou slowly walked to his desk and picked up his teacup, savoring a mouthful of tea.
”The latest news from Western Han is that the country is celebrating the victory in battle. Han TieXuan has been conferred the t.i.tle of North Marquis. He has effectively pressed down all the other generals, only leaving a minor influence under the XiMen.” The black-robed man replied. Even when facing Yu ManLou, his voice remained dead, not carrying any hint of emotion.
Yu ManLou was already well accustomed to his speaking and wasn't bothered by it. However, he was surprised by the content of the intelligence, ”Eh? With such a large merit obtained, why was so little conferred to him? This does not make sense!”
”The problem lies with the young n.o.ble of the XiMen Family. That kid somehow made his way to the battlefield after the war ended, and chatted up Ling Tian. It seems like he made a good impression with Ling Tian, and with his tacit consent, that kid collected all the spoils of war, making him the second greatest contributor after Han TieXuan!”
”XiMen Sa?!” Yu ManLou slapped the table and stood up, unable to restrain his anger. ”Another scheme from Ling Tian! He knows that Han TieXuan is under the command of my Yu Family and is unwilling to allow him to get the full credit, so he's even willing to let his enemies take advantage in order to spoil my plans! Ling Tian, what vicious methods you have! What an insane scheme, what foresight!”
Suddenly, he started to laugh instead, jubilantly saying, ”While you might have intelligence beyond that of a mortal, but even you won't be able to escape from the pursuit of the unrivaled expert of this generation! That is something this old man, whom even if I overturn the Yu Family, would not even dare to try. Ling Tian, you're dead!”
Thinking about that, Yu ManLou suddenly felt as though he was refreshed. When compared to the death of Ling Tian, Han TieXuan's matter suddenly seemed unimportant! Yu ManLou also felt a little smug at this point. If I can obtain the influence created by Ling Tian, then how could anyone be a match for the Yu Family? What Water of Heavenly Wind? Hehehe…
As for Ling Tian who originally wanted to have a good rest, he never expected himself to be immediately swamped with work to the point where he estimated even if he had four arms he would be hard-pressed to cope!
So G.o.d-d*mned busy! He had never been so busy even in his past life!
When Ling Tian was still twenty kilometers away from Sky Bearing, he could already see the people from his family coming over to greet him on horseback. However, before he could feel any relief or happiness at this, he was almost scared silly by the words that came out of Ling Dian's mouth.
”Aii, young n.o.ble, it's good luck you're back. If you hadn't returned by now, we probably would have collapsed!” Seeing Ling Dian crying in such an exaggerated manner, Ling Tian only felt depressed. Did something out of his expectations actually happen?
He heard Ling Dian continue, ”The house is about to flip, and we're waiting all this while for you to make a decision. Finally, you're back!”
