Chapter 357 (2/2)

He gestured for the two seniors to take a seat, before looking all around him. He suddenly let out a laugh, ”Old Justice, everything turned upside down the moment you arrived. If an outsider was to look at this scene, who would believe that this was the residence of the great Ling Family? Everyone would think that this was a beggar's nest!”

Justice laughed along, but suddenly fell into silence as he stared at Ling Tian, ”I've killed many people, but this is the first time that I'm going to have wine with someone I'm about to kill! You're actually different from all those I've killed. No wonder Brother Ye looks up to you.”

”Oh? Is that so? I thought you had discovered it early on, but it seems like you never noticed.” Ling Tian smiled carelessly towards Justice. He maintained an easy and confident stance, as though nothing could affect him.

Justice sank into deep thought for a while before suddenly speaking out, ”You seem as though you are rather confident of escaping from my hands? From your att.i.tude and words previously, can I a.s.sume that?!”

”No, it's not that I'm rather confident,” Ling Tian slowly nodded as he smiled, ”But that I have absolute confidence! You will not be able to kill me!”

”HAHAHA…” Justice burst out into crazed laughter, a finger pointing towards the heavens. ”Kid, you know what? I'm liking you more and more right now. Your arrogance and pride are really unmatched under the heavens! You thick-skinnedness really makes one gasp in amazement.”

At this point, Ling Chen was carrying a few jars of wine using a broken piece of a door as a tray. In a soft and charming voice, she spoke out. ”Senior Justice, your confidence and pride are also number one under the heavens!”

Ye QingChen and Ling Tian laughed at that, with Justice pausing in shock. He too couldn't help revealing a smile in response.

Ling Tian took a jar and broke the seal with a well-placed palm as he beckoned, ”Chen'er sit down with us. You won't get many chances to drink with these two esteemed figures from Beyond Heaven. Furthermore, one of them is even the self-proclaimed number one under the heavens!”

Ling Chen chuckled at his words. ”In my heart, there is only one person worthy of that t.i.tle, and that is you, young n.o.ble.” She then sat down, but surprisingly, she chose her seat to be in between that of Justice and Ling Tian. Justice glanced once at her, and could only let out a bitter smile in his heart. Silly la.s.s, since I have already promised brother Ye, I definitely will not make a move now! However, he couldn't help but admire her loyalty and devotion.

The dark red wine was poured into four beautiful white jade goblets, and the rich fragrance of the wine suffused throughout the entire courtyard. Ling Tian raised his goblet up, and smiled, ”It's rare that we have such a chance to congregate and share a cup together. Justice, do you dare to drink my wine?”

Justice merely smiled and downed the contents of his cup in one go. Laughing, he replied, ”So what if there's poison? In this world, is there any poison that can still affect me? I'd rather it be poisoned, so I could kill you sooner and clean up the entire matter!”

The pupils of Ling Tian shrank, but he hid it with a laugh, ”Bold indeed! Ling Tian admires you. However, Brother Justice, you're destined to not get your way.” He too downed the contents, before getting Ling Chen to refill their goblets.

Ye QingChen looked at the two of them and suddenly sighed. The strong taste of premium wine that he had incessantly thought about for the past half year suddenly turned bland and dull to him.

After drinking another cup, Ling Tian suddenly stood up. ”My two seniors, please continue, I'll be speaking to my wife in private.”

Ye QingChen immediately took the chance and cut in, ”No worries, it's ok if you take more time.” Justice didn't reply but only had a smile hung on his lips. He didn't pay attention to Ye QingChen trying to outvoice him.

Ling Tian tugged Ling Chen to a corner, before speaking in a low tone, ”Chen'er, remember everything that I will be saying next! You cannot allow any negligence, or the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Ling Chen only thought that Ling Tian was leaving behind a will, and felt thoroughly broken-hearted, almost crying out loud. With tears welling up in her eyes, she stared dumbly at Ling Tian, as though she could never get enough of him. How could she still bother as to what Ling Tian was about to say?

Ling Tian helplessly sighed, and could only explain slowly, ”As you saw, we cannot overcome him through encirclements. If we make a move here, not only will I be hindered, but we will also injure the people in the Ling Residence. Thus, I'm planning to lure him outside. I'll think of an idea that will allow him to accept a bet from me and set a time limit for him to kill me. If this doesn't work out…” Ling Tian caught himself and glossed over it. ”I'll need you to take care of the family, so I will not have any hesitations and can go all out to contend with him.”

Ling Chen immediately stopped crying. Could it be...
