Ling Jian's letter:

” . . . I originally planned to follow the plan and make my retreat but Shui QianHuan offered a new business deal to kill the other two sons of Yu ManLou . After thinking about the matter for a long time, I can't come to a decision! Ever since the Courtyard was built and the First Pavilion established, every member who has tried to infiltrate the Yu Family was discovered and killed! Our First Pavilion and the Yu Family are destined to become enemies! The airtight defenses of the Yu Family have rendered us incapable of digging out the Yu Family's trump cards!

The world is about to fall into chaos, and if we are still unable to investigate the hidden strengths of the Yu Family, it will definitely be detrimental to the ambition of our young n.o.ble! Young n.o.ble is currently in danger and being pursued by the Martial Order Medallion . But the moment he returns, it would be akin to a dragon returning to the ocean or a tiger returning to the forest and the storm clouds will definitely be stirred . If we are still unable to settle this matter by the time young n.o.ble returns, are we going to trouble young n.o.ble to take action personally? If that's the case, Jian will not have the face to continue living in this world!

Jian plans to spend a few days to visit the Yu Family in the night . If I can kill them, I will spare no effort in doing so . If I can't kill them, I will focus my effort on investigating the Yu Family . Even though there are some risks in doing so, this life of mine belongs to the young n.o.ble I don't dare to let him down . As such, I have sent a note to Sky Bearing to seek permission .

Jian will be waiting for a response in Northern Wei . The forces of the Yu Family are presently thinly spread and such an opportunity will not come again . I hope for a quick response . ”

”Quick response? My dear Ling Jian, you have really given me a huge dilemma!” Ling Chen let out a sigh as she paced around in frustration .

While Ling Jian's suggestion seemed to be extremely rash and without any benefits, Ling Chen knew that the Ling Family had never succeeded in spying on the internal affairs of the Yu Family . In fact, it wasn't just the First Pavilion . All other powers had definitely tried spying on the Yu Family before, only to have all of their spies eradicated!

Just as the saying goes, 'Knowing your enemy as thyself will lead to success every time' . Without a proper grasp of the enemy's strength, mistakes in judgment would definitely be made . In critical times, the outcome of the whole battle may even be determined as a result of a mistake! From this aspect alone, Ling Jian's suggestion was definitely an appropriate one .

Currently, there wasn't anyone more suitable for the task than Ling Jian . Furthermore, Ling Jian was presently stationed in Northern Wei . As long as Ling Jian could successfully enter and leave the Yu Family, the internal affairs of the Yu Family would be easily deduced even if Ling Jian didn't investigate anything in particular .

However, the undercurrents in Northern Wei were surging, and the situation was currently extremely unstable . The Yu Family would definitely be much more careful at this time . Trying to spy on the Yu Family now was definitely far riskier than usual! However, this was also the time where the forces of the Yu Family were the most thinly spread! Everything had an advantage and disadvantage, thus trapping Ling Chen in a dilemma .

It was a gamble, but the stakes of this game was Ling Jian's life! However, Ling Chen and the rest were presently stationed in Sky Bearing and couldn't be of any help!

Deep within her heart, Ling Chen was definitely unwilling to allow Ling Jian to take such a risk . After all, Ling Jian was the second closest person to her after Ling Tian . It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Ling Jian was like a close brother to her . If Ling Jian were to meet with misfortune, it would definitely be a huge loss to the First Pavilion, the Ling Family, and Ling Tian!

Such a wager was something that Ling Chen didn't dare to place! Neither was she qualified to place it! But if she let this chance pa.s.s, would that mean that she would need Ling Tian to take action personally in future?

This was the biggest dilemma Ling Chen had faced ever since she had taken over the courtyard!

Just what should I do? If young n.o.ble was here, what would he do? Ling Chen questioned herself over and over again . After a long while, a sharp glare suddenly flashed past her eyes and startled Ling Chi who was awaiting her decision .

Ling Chen had finally made her decision!

She lifted up her head and looked at Ling Chi, ”Send this message to Ling Jian: Only you are allowed to go! No one is to follow you . Those who disobey my orders will be executed without mercy . Furthermore, no one will be allowed to be on the lookout for you . I will only give you two hours and you have to make your retreat when the time is up! If you are late for a single second, you will be heavily punished! No matter what, you have to make a safe retreat! If you were to die on this mission, you will be expelled from the Ling Family and your tablet will never enter the ancestral hall of the Ling Family!”

Ling Chi felt his body tremble and had an incredulous look in his eyes!
