Chapter 370 (1/2)

Young n.o.ble is in danger! Young n.o.ble needs my aid! With a breakthrough in my strength, I can use my life in exchange for the green-robed expert's injuries! I will be able to help the young n.o.ble to seize an opportunity!

Ling Jian thought this to himself as he accelerated at full speed and disappeared like a wisp of smoke!

”Where are you going?” A frosty voice sounded by his ears. While the voice wasn't loud, Ling Jian stopped immediately upon hearing it.

”La.s.s Chen!” Ling Jian turned around, ”Good that you are here! I am going to help the young n.o.ble, and our chances will be bigger with you around!”

”You are going to save the young n.o.ble? I think you are going to harm the young n.o.ble!” Ling Chen snorted as she said with a fierce glare, ”Is there any meaning for you to go? With your martial arts, what can you do even if you find young n.o.ble?! Aren't you only capable of being a burden and creating trouble for young n.o.ble? Stay here in the courtyard, and you are not to go anywhere without my orders!”

”Bullsh*t!” For the first time in his life, Ling Jian scolded Ling Chen and flew into a rage. ”La.s.s Chen, what do you mean by that? Did young n.o.ble bring us up for nothing? Are we supposed to watch by the side when young n.o.ble is facing a life or death tribulation? Especially you! You are young n.o.ble's most beloved lady but you are actually asking me to ignore young n.o.ble at such a time?! What are your intentions?!”

PA!

With a swing of her arms, Ling Chen sent out a lightning-fast slap and Ling Jian did not even have a chance to react! Ling Chen's frosty voice then sounded, ”Ling Jian, do you still know that I am young n.o.ble's beloved woman? Isn't young n.o.ble my most beloved man as well? However, being rash isn't the way to solve our current problem! If we had a chance to beat Justice by gathering all of our forces, do you think that young n.o.ble will take the risk to leave Sky Bearing? If you are going to act so willful all the time, you will definitely eventually ruin young n.o.ble's plans! Let me ask you, who did young n.o.ble once say should be in charge when he isn't around?!”

Ling Jian held onto his right cheek that was slapped by Ling Chen with an incredulous expression.

Is this still that gentle Ling Chen? Is this still that la.s.s who would tremble when seeing blood? She actually dared to slap me in public?

Ling Jian was stunned silly and did not hear what Ling Chen said.

”Are you deaf?!” Ling Chen shouted, ”I am asking you, if young n.o.ble isn't around, who is in charge?”

”You will be in charge, but young n.o.ble…” Ling Jian snorted and turned around.

”What if someone defies my orders?” Ling Chen asked in a threatening manner.

”Kill without mercy!” Ling Jian lowered his head.

Looking at his expression, Ling Chen finally felt her anger dissipate slightly, ”At least you still remember! Do you know why young n.o.ble would take such a huge risk to lure Justice away? Do you know what kind of a crisis our Ling Family and Ling Family Courtyard are facing right now? Do you know what young n.o.ble's orders were before he left? Why aren't you talking? You don't know anything! You only know how to be ras.h.!.+ You, you have really disappointed me! But it doesn't matter if you disappoint me, do you know who you have disappointed the most? Young n.o.ble!”

”I…” Ling Jian lifted up his head and saw Ling Chen's frosty gaze. He then lowered his head and realized that he really didn't know anything at all. He only wanted to help his young n.o.ble with the hot blood he had! However, just what could he do to help his young n.o.ble?

Using his life? Even if he wanted to die, that wasn't the way! His life only belonged to the young n.o.ble! Just what was he thinking?

Only now did Ling Jian feel the stinging pain on his cheek. As Ling Jian rubbed his right cheek, a sudden thought appeared in his head,

This la.s.s has changed! Be it the way she talks or her actions, they are all exactly like the young n.o.ble! She has transformed into the young n.o.ble because he has left! She is indeed young n.o.ble's most beloved woman!

Ling Jian could not help but respect Ling Chen in his heart.

Seeing Ling Jian calm down, Ling Chen began to describe everything that happened in the past few days to him. Finally, Ling Chen said calmly, ”Before young n.o.ble left, he emphasized the fact that this will be the biggest challenge that we have faced! For himself, for the Ling Family, or for the Courtyard! The crisis that young n.o.ble is facing alone is also the most dangerous crisis! So, we must ensure that nothing goes wrong on our side so that the young n.o.ble doesn't have to be distracted. We can't give the young n.o.ble any additional burdens! Everyone must listen to my orders and no one is to act out of line! Anyone who goes against my orders will be punished severely!'

Then, Ling Chen glanced at Ling Jian, ”If anyone makes a rash move and spoils young n.o.ble's plans, he should know what outcome awaits him!”
