It was a deserted hut .

A black-dressed Ling Jian held onto a small slip of paper in his hands and had a bitter smile on his face . ”La.s.s Chen really knows me so well . She knows what I am afraid of the most . However… even if this is the case, I will…”

Ling Feng and Ling Yun gathered closer to take a look at the note and after reading it, Ling Feng persuaded, ”Brother Jian, I know what your plans are but I think that you should think through it carefully . The Yu Family can't be compared to the interior of an imperial palace, and even the security of Beyond Heavens probably can't be compared to the Yu Family! Since sister Chen gave you such a condition, she obviously doesn't want you to take the risk . If you were to insist on going, I'm afraid…”

”No! It is the opposite . ” Ling Jian shook his head confidently, ”If she doesn't want me to go, the message in my hands would be for my swift return . Chen'er also can't make up her mind right now . She doesn't want anything to happen to me but isn't willing to give up such a good opportunity . Thus, she would give me such a condition . On one hand, she is giving me approval but on the other hand, giving me pressure and asking me to be careful . ”

Ling Jian's gaze then swept past Ling Feng and he said with a smile, ”All of you can also tell but purposefully misinterpreted her meaning right?”

”Besides, things have already developed to a critical stage . If we can't be decisive at such a moment, we will only suffer in the future . The Yu Family has continuously revealed an unknown source of strength and no one knows how much more strength they have hidden . While it doesn't matter now, the battle will definitely begin when young n.o.ble returns . At that time, we will be stationed by his side and will no longer be able to bother about these things . However, these hidden strengths of the Yu Family will be a destructive force towards our Ling Family and will definitely be a wild card . We can't afford such a loss!”

Ling Jian said with a solemn expression, ”Young n.o.ble always says that we have to look at everything with a pair of strategic eyes and look towards our final goal . Every single step we take is for our final victory! The hidden strength of the Yu Family will definitely be a hindrance to our plans, and we won't be able to sleep peacefully if we don't get to the bottom of this! Furthermore, Ye BaiFei was able to retreat fully after attempting to a.s.sa.s.sinate Yu ManLou, and my present martial arts are far superior to Ye BaiFei's! Nothing will happen to me for sure! Even the thousand-year-old Yu Family may not be able to keep me from leaving!”

”If that's the case, brother Jian must be careful . This little brother will not say anything else . ” Knowing that it was impossible for him to persuade Ling Jian, Ling Feng let out a sigh and left .

”So what if it is the Yu Family . Even if I have to enter the dragon's nest or tiger's lair, would I, Ling Jian, be trapped?” Ling Jian let out a chilly smile, ”If I don't go, do I expect young n.o.ble to take action personally? Is young n.o.ble feeding us for nothing?”

”At night, the six of us will be your lookout, and we must fully investigate the Yu Family! We just don't have to tell sister Chen!” Ling Yun proclaimed . As Ling Yun said that, the five others brimmed with battle intent as they looked at Ling Jian .

”Definitely not!” Ling Jian rejected, ”La.s.s Chen had said clearly that none of you are to go! Are all of you going to defy her orders? Do you know why she would give such an order?” Ling Jian's cold gaze swept past the six of them, ”It is because all of you are still unable to aid me! Even if the Yu Family can't keep me from leaving, the Yu Family may be able to keep the rest of you! You have to remember, when young n.o.ble isn't around, La.s.s Chen's words are equivalent to young n.o.ble's words! I don't want to hear any of you defying her orders! I don't want such a thing to happen again!”

The six of them lowered their heads in guilt . Especially Ling Yun, whose face turned completely pale and whose clothes were drenched in sweat .

”Talking about laying an ambush and a.s.sa.s.sinations, all of you are undoubtedly top-notch experts! In the field of a.s.sa.s.sinations, young n.o.ble has personally mentored all of you, and all of you are definitely far superior to the a.s.sa.s.sins in the continent . If the six of you were to catch Yu ManLou off guard, it wouldn't be impossible to a.s.sa.s.sinate him!” Ling Jian said coldly, ”However, when we talk about an upfront battle, the six of you are still greatly lacking! It would be an achievement if the six of you can even beat Yu ManTian . There are far too many capable individuals in the world, and after we return to the Courtyard, all of you will be receiving special training!”

The six of them lowered their heads and didn't dare to say anything .

Ling Jian then turned around and said in a low voice, ”I will enter the Yu Family at midnight tonight! If I don't return in two hours, all of you are to leave immediately and return to Sky Bearing! You must not delay for even a moment! There isn't a need to bother about my life or death!”

”Brother Jian!” The six of them lifted their heads up with their eyes turning red!

”My mind is set . There isn't a need for words!” Ling Jian hollered, ”Did all of you hear what I said?! Are all of you going to defy orders again?!”

The six of their eyes were reddened and fixed on Ling Jian but none of them said a word .

Ling Jian said coldly, ”If I don't return, this will be my final order . Are all of you going to defy it?!”

Ling Feng took a step forward and said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, ”Rest a.s.sured brother Jian, us brothers will definitely obey your orders . Brother Jian is blessed by the heavens and will definitely return victorious!”

”Blessed by the heavens?” Ling Jian said with an odd smile, ”Ever since I was nine, my hands were stained with blood . I became the Pavilion Head of the First Pavilion and held the lives of others in my hands for a full six years! In the past six years, more than a thousand individuals have died under my sword! Young n.o.ble had once said, 'killing one is a crime, killing ten thousand is a hero and killing a million makes one a hero amongst heroes'! I have lived my life according to that code and I have no regrets!”
