”Alright, alright,” Li Xue raised her hands in surrender and said helplessly, ”you have a habit that has not changed from your previous life . I made my deduction from that habit of yours . ”
”Habit? A habit in both my lives?” Ling Tian was truly puzzled, ”What habit? Why don't I know about it?”
”Do you remember that you always wore a thin ring on your right index finger in your previous life?”
”Ring?” Ling Tian fell into a daze, ”How could I forget about it? It was the only item my mother left for me . ”
”Yes,” Li Xue's voice turned hoa.r.s.e, ”in your previous life you treated that ring as the most precious treasure of yours and also as a protective talisman . This is something that you also told me before . Before you embark on a mission or if you are uncertain about something, you subconsciously twiddle with the ring on your right finger . You once said that it would calm you down and ensure success in your mission!”
Li Xue's eyes then turned gentle, ”When you entered Bright Jade City this afternoon, while you were no longer wearing the ring on your right finger, you still subconsciously twiddled with your right finger . Furthermore, the look in your eyes was exactly the same as it was in your previous life . So… I managed to guess it . ”
”I see!” Ling Tian came to a realization but suddenly felt mournful . The ring from his previous life was the only item his mother left behind for him . Whenever he twiddled with it, Ling Tian could feel the deep love of his mother emanating from it, bringing him a boundless energy . Every time he twiddled with the ring, Ling Tian's heart would be filled with calmness . Thus, whenever he felt frustrated, Ling Tian would twiddle with it to calm himself down . This subconscious action of his was something that even he didn't notice .
”It's no wonder that I lost in my previous life . ” Ling Tian laughed bitterly . For Li Xue to understand him better than he understood himself, it wouldn't be a difficult matter for her to lay a trap for him . Ling Tian had always felt that he had fallen to a sinister trap and was framed . Only now did he understand that the trap was specially targeted at him and it would be impossible for him to avoid it .
”Tian'ge . ” Li Xue said with guilt in her eyes, ”While spending more than ten years in the mountains, I found some metal similar to your ring in my free time . After forging it over and over again… take a look at this, do you like it?” Li Xue's palm opened up and a black ring could be seen in the center of her palm .
”Thank you . ” After seeing the ring, the motherly love from both his life surfaced in his heart and an emotional look could be seen on Ling Tian's usually calm expression . Ling Tian looked at this ring which was identical to the one in his memory .
”Let me help you put it on . This is my most sincere apology and my greatest blessing to you . ” Li Xue smiled and placed the ring on Ling Tian's right finger . She then let out a satisfied smile, ”Aren't they almost identical?”
After that, Li Xue did something that made Ling Tian not know whether to laugh or cry . She took out another identical ring from her bosom and placed it on her right ring finger . With a crafty smile, she hid her hand behind her back and said shamelessly, ”Hehe, I made a pair of these rings, one for you and one for me . ”
Seeing Ling Tian glare at her, Li Xue chuckled and showed two fingers to Ling Tian, ”I only made two of them,” purposely emphasizing the word 'only' .
Ling Tian gave a warm smile as he twiddled with the ring fondly, ”Anything . ”
”Really?” Li Xue said excitedly .
Before Ling Tian could reply, a loud bang sounded from outside the window .
”Someone is fighting . ” Ling Tian's face turned solemn, ”Furthermore, they are top-notch experts! What a miserable battle!”
”The battle is to our west and it shouldn't be too far away . ” Li Xue added on, ”Shall we take a look?”
”Of course we have to go!” Ling Tian slipped into black robes and said hastily, ”To dare to fight openly in Bright Jade City at such a critical period, it would either be the Shui Family or Ling Jian . No other power would be that bold or powerful . I will only be at ease if I take a look personally . Even if I don't want to take action, I would be able to see the Yu Family's defensive arrangement! You are truly prepared . You have already put on the right outfit and can spring into action after putting on a mask . I truly admire your foresight . ”
Li Xue could obviously tell that Ling Tian's words were meant to tease her about how she was clinging so tight to him . Thus, she stuck out her tongue and made a funny face as she grunted, ”So what if I have foresight, it would be better than jumping out of the window without being fully dressed!”
Ling Tian placed on his mask as he grumbled, ”If not for you making trouble for me, I would already be gone by now . To think that you still have the cheek to make sarcastic remarks!”
