Chapter 384: Operation Begins (1/2)

Ling Jian coughed out twice in embarra.s.sment, sounding like a chicken whose neck was being wrung. His plan had been completely seen through by Ling Chen. It did not matter to him if he would be sentenced to death for breaking the rules or be canceled off the name list of the First Pavilion, but if he lost his t.i.tle as a brother to the young n.o.ble, that was unacceptable! This was also the cruelest punishment for him!

On that night, the doors of the Ling Family Courtyard silently opened, and seven great steeds silently left the compound, each carrying a person clothed in black. The soft clopping of horse hooves broke the serenity of the night, as these seven figures full of killing intent rushed towards the north!

In the distant skies of the north, the clouds lazily drifted by, and under the light of the moon, they turned into a weird shade of red, almost like blood...

After sending the specialized secret missive to Ling Thirty, who was also known as XiMen Sa, Ling Tian began to slowly walk into the Western Sky Restaurant! Western Sky Restaurant, the biggest restaurant in Celestial Gathering City and was just beside the grand and magnificent main entrance of the XiMen Family! It was not yet lunchtime, so there were not many people inside the restaurant. Only a spa.r.s.e scattering of tables were filled which made the place seem even more s.p.a.cious.

Right now, Ling Tian's current image was similar to Ye QingChen's fortune teller image, and he had even pasted a beard to his face. Clad in a handsome set of robes, he displayed a demeanor that looked as though he had descended from the high heavens!

After asking for a seat by the window, Ling Tian leisurely took a seat, a heavy look on his face as his mind started to work. While he believed that he had temporarily put down the terror that was Justice, but having accidentally caused such a big event in Celestial Gathering City, it would be bound to attract Justice back here in a short while! By then, how could he resolve this matter? Was he wrong in making a move?

The sound of footsteps was heard, and following that was a respectful voice saying, ”Nice to meet you, Young n.o.ble XiMen.” After the standard greetings had been exchanged, a set of light footsteps were heard as a person walked towards Ling Tian. The footsteps sounded rushed and hurried, apparently the person was quite excited.

”Mister, young n.o.ble here has been facing some problems recently, could I beg Sire to divine for me my road in the near future?” A light-hearted voice sounded from beside Ling Tian.

Everyone was originally surprised as to why their youthful and pleasant little young n.o.ble XiMen Sa immediately walked towards the fortune teller when he came in. However, upon hearing his words, they immediately understood; how could it be just facing some problems these days? They were literally in the dumps! No wonder this young n.o.ble XiMen was leaning on spiritual support right now!

In a flash, Ling Thirty had already taken a seat opposite of Ling Tian, and on his handsome face there was a slight flush and a fiery excitement hidden in his eyes, full of respect and admiration!

”Haha, I'm not sure, what matter would this Young n.o.ble want to consult me about?” Ling Tian only indifferently laughed in response, but his eyes shot out a warning look.

”This young n.o.ble would request Sire to look into my life in the future! How will my luck be like? Will my house be in any danger, and would this danger be able to be solved?” While Ling Thirty still looked a bit unnatural, but at least he appeared more at ease right now.

”Haha, all of these are actually secretive matters. As the saying goes, 'The sayings of Heavens cannot be revealed, and the teaching of the Ways will never pa.s.s through six ears'. Under such a large audience, how could I reveal so many things?” Ling Tian purposefully increased his volume as he smiled.

Indeed, the moment he finished speaking, an attendant quickly ran over, stammering, ”Young n.o.ble XiMen, how about I get you a private room to continue your conversation with this esteemed Sire, would you be okay with that?”

Ling Thirty carelessly waved his hands, completely displaying his bearing as an aristocratic child, ”Lead the way!” After that, he turned to Ling Tian and replied, ”Sire, please!”

”I wouldn't dare, Young n.o.ble please go ahead!” Ling Tian smirked inwardly as it seemed like his gamble in choosing this kid had paid off! There was no hint of any of his thoughts on his expressions. He had originally thought that this kid was just a loyal follower who idolized him, but now it seemed like he was also good at acting!

”Thirty pays respects to the Young n.o.ble!” The moment they entered the private room, the proud air present on his face dissipated, and with a 'putong' sound, he kneeled on the floor, tears of joy already springing up in his eyes. He continued in a trembling voice, ”The moment I heard that Young n.o.ble was made a target using the Martial Order Medallion, Thirty felt that every day spent here was like a year, constantly worrying about your well being! To be able to finally see young n.o.ble today, it is a matter worth celebrating! With your miraculous ways of killing, how could a mere Martial Order Medallion owner be able to match up against you?!

”Come on, get up. You're already so old, why are you bawling so much for!” Ling Tian smiled as he stooped down to pick him up. ”If anyone were to see the grand young n.o.ble XiMen actually kneeling like a servant, there would be unwanted gossip. How's your side so far, is everything successful?”

Ling Thirty happily sat back down, and smiled bashfully, ”I just knew it, with young n.o.ble's peerless skills, the Martial Order Medallion owner would not be able to trump over you. However, I was still extremely unsettled at heart, please forgive me.”

Ling Tian nodded his head, but gravely spoke, ”That Martial Order Medallion owner, Justice, is extremely pedantic, and his martial skills are also at the top of the upper echelon. While I typically do not look up to anyone, but for this person, I can't help but admire and respect him!”
