How would Shui QianHuan be aware that not only was he maligning Yu ManLou, he had also wrongly accused the entire Yu Family . From start to the end, the Yu Family had merely acted out of self-preservation and defense, and the whole scheme was actually cooked up by the G.o.ddess in his heart, the one whom he regarded as his beloved, Miss Ling Chen! If he were to find out the truth, he would probably lose his will to live!

Furthermore, this was merely a small portion of the grand scheme had Ling Chen had come out with . . .

Shui Seven sighed once, before retreating in silence . As the hidden bodyguard of Shui QianHuan, how could he be unaware of the feelings his master had towards the maiden Ling Chen? However, no matter the case, there was no salvaging this situation . Even regarding the fact of Shui QianHuan expecting Ling Chen to lend her troops for his revenge, Shui Seven himself believed that there was not even athe tiniest chance that would actually happen!

Both our families are only working on the context of mutual benefits, and now that you have already lost your worth, to have Miss Ling Chen not kick you while you're down would already be good enough, how do you expect her to help you? This sentence was of course spoken silently in Shui Seven's heart, and not out loud . However, these were his true thoughts . Upon thinking of how Ling Chen had looked at his young master with the eyes as though she saw a repulsive toad, Shui Seven silently sighed to himself . To plead for help, forget about having the door, even the window would probably not be open to him!

He could not fathom, just how was it that all the guards around his young master could see the situation crystal clear, but his intellectually peerless young master could actually be such an imbecile at this time? Could he not see that this was an impossibility?

”You're awake?” Ling Tian blandly spoke . By his side, Ling Jian had just completed a cycle and was slowly opening his eyes .

”Yes!” Ling Jian struggled to get up, ”Many thanks to young n.o.ble for saving me . ”

”Lie down properly, are you really that eager for death?” By another side, the Little Miss Li Xue impolitely scolded, ”With such huge injuries, why are you struggling for?”

”Ling Jian has brought trouble to young n.o.ble and should have paid for it with his life!” Ling Jian coldly glanced once at Li Xue, his tone unchanging . While he did not know who this la.s.s was, and why she was together with his young n.o.ble, his deep-rooted thinking from young would not allow him to be lying down while his young n.o.ble could still stand . Even if he was injured, as long as he had that bit of strength, he had to be at least seated!

Disregarding the obstruction from Li Xue, Ling Jian still pulled himself into a sitting position . Due to the extreme loss of blood, he could only use his arms to prop up his weak body . The whole time, he trembled nonstop, as he guiltily spoke, ”Ling Jian has failed the expectations of young n.o.ble and even made you expose yourself to danger . I really feel extremely uncomfortable in my heart, may young n.o.ble please grant me punishment!”

Ling Tian indifferently stared at him as he used a hand to rub his own cheek, saying in a grave tone, ”Forget about it, there's no need to mention this matter anymore . This time, I also came over to Bright Jade City to scout the deployment and trump cards of the Yu Family . However, I never expected you to have already created such a scene before I arrived there . While it seems like you overestimated your capabilities a little, this also allowed us to see the true strength of the Yu Family . I guess this counts as a sort of achievement, so we can nullify your punishment . However, there's something that I must berate you about!”

”Many thanks to young n.o.ble! May I know what is it regarding? Please explain further!” Ling Jian gratefully replied, a faint concern suffusing his expression as he continued, ”Not sure how Ling Nineteen and the rest are faring now, I originally ordered them, that if they did not receive any news from me at 3 am, then they were to immediately retreat out of Bright Jade City . ”

”They'll be alright . ” Ling Tian drily replied, as he stepped forward and grasped hold of Ling Jian's shoulders . Sending a stream of internal energy in, he nodded with satisfaction upon seeing that Ling Jian's internal injuries had taken a turn for the better . He then continued, ”I've already sent them a hidden signal, telling them to conceal themselves properly . I estimate that by tonight, they would come looking for us . ”

”That's good, luckily young n.o.ble had reached here in the nick of time, otherwise I wouldn't know what those kids would do . ” Upon hearing the rea.s.surance, Ling Jian's taut nerves finally relaxed . With the aid from Ling Tian's energy, his body and spirit improved yet another notch .

”Ah'Jian, do you know what's the real reason that I want to rebuke you about?!” Ling Tian suddenly spoke .

”Young n.o.ble wants to blame Ling Jian for overestimating his own capabilities, jumping headfirst to spy on the dragon lair or tiger's den, right?” Ling Jian replied .
