Chapter 346 (2/2)
”That's right!” Since the truth was as such, Shui QianRou saw no reason to hide it. If she tried to do so, then there wouldn't be any point.
”The second point is that even the Yu Family has been involved.” Ling Tian's expression looked as though he wanted to cry. ”That time, I was so concerned over your survival that I didn't notice and killed the two Yu Family elders! A dead man can't be brought back to life, so as long as Miss Shui goes out and proclaims it a little, I believe even the Yu Family would come seeking revenge. Both the Yu Family as well as the Shui Family are the same, they're all hegemons that I can't afford to provoke! And there's still Yan'er who will be angry with me…”
”What nonsense is this!” Shui QianRou couldn't help but retort. ”That time, the Yu Family were obviously running away, but you mercilessly went after them to ensure that they died! This has nothing to do with saving me, don't try to be hypocritical and blame it on trying to save me. There's always been the blood of both Yu and Shui Family on your hands, so don't try to twist the facts!”
Ling Tian laughed at her outburst. ”This young lady here, your joke is a little too cold! My feelings for Yu BingYan are almost known throughout the world! If not for Miss Shui, then I would've long ago invited the two elders back to my house to properly attend to them! After all, they're Yan'er's clansmen. But because of you, I had to send them over to King Yama instead. While I didn't intend to kill them, it's true that they died for me. In the end, it was because of you, Miss Shui. You can't just s.h.i.+rk responsibility just like that.”
”Hmph!” Shui QianRou snorted coldly. Right now, Ling Tian's tone was a little out of sorts, making her feel uncomfortable.
”The third point is that in the battle to protect my father, I killed many of your family's experts. Now this is a great blood feud.” Ling Tian sighed out loud, ”I'm actually a benevolent person by nature, even avoiding the ants when I sweep the floor. To have killed so rampantly, this really is a sin among sins.”
Shui QianRou was stunned beyond words. This was bringing shamelessness to a whole new level! To say such words and not even be a little bashful! She really wanted to kneel down in respect.
”The last matter is regarding Miss Shui staying here. While I can protect my secrets now, but once Miss Shui gets out, your mouth belongs to yourself, and thus I can't stop you from saying anything! Don't you agree?” Ling Tian looked more and more depressed by the minute. ”Don't even mention about an oath or something, that's for silly people! I'll never buy it. Anyhow, how can you actually guarantee your silence? And furthermore, if I release you, what benefits do I gain? Hais, so many points to consider. While I aspire to be a hero, I'm after all still an ordinary mortal. Since things have reached such a stage, I can only beg for forgiveness from you.”
Once this fourth statement had been spoken, Shui QianRou was shaken. Of course, she could guarantee her silence, but how could she prove it to Ling Tian? And that jerk even said it clearly that he wouldn't believe in oaths.
How could someone like him exist? Shui QianRou wanted to hug her head and scream out. She was left without a choice!
At this point, Die'er who was originally silenced with a look from Ling Tian suddenly came forward, whispering something to Shui QianRou. This was followed by Shui QianRou's eyes lighting up, as well as a light blush appearing on her cheeks.
”We're all direct people, and thus little sister also has no way to convince you. But I have a makes.h.i.+ft solution.” From her bosom, she withdrew a piece of jade, saying, ”This jade pendant is something that has never left my side, a pledge of love that my mother once gave to me. This is the heirloom of our Shui Family, the Heaven's Heart Jade. My mother mentioned this before, that whoever I give this to, will be my husband in the future! This concerns my lifelong happiness, so does young n.o.ble Ling think that this is good enough to serve as a promise?”
Ling Tian accepted it and felt a cold wave travel through his hand. This was actually a rare Yin-type jade! He didn't even look at it, instead placing it in his pocket, laughing out, ”Whether I believe in it remains yet to be seen, but at least this can help me to avoid the current hot weather!”
