”AH?! YOU?!” Xiao YanXue gasped with her hands covering her mouth and a look of incredulity . Following that, the gossiping nature of a lady erupted… after all, this was the gossip of the Yu Family Head…
”Hurry hurry hurry hurry… tell me, what happened? How did you egg him on?! Amazing! Hehehe, I think that you can become a matchmaker . ” Xiao YanXue's breathing became ragged as she grabbed onto Ling Tian's arm and shook it vigorously .
”It happened like this…” Ling Tian said with conceit . After all, not anyone in the world would be able to render Yu ManLou speechless with pent-up grievances . He then began to slowly ill.u.s.trate what had happened .
Xiao YanXue burst out laughing and her eyes were narrowed to the point they formed a slit .
However, she suddenly stopped laughing at the very end and her expression also grew serious . She then looked at Ling Tian with a solemn expression and said coldly, ”Are you very delighted?”
”Ah… err…” Ling Tian said awkwardly as he looked at Xiao YanXue while wondering what was up with her again . Why would there be such a drastic change in her expression in such a short instant? No wonder there was a saying: A woman's heart; needle in the ocean . Just the way her expression changed so rapidly was something that an ordinary person wouldn't be able to bear .
Ling Tian lamented in his heart, Women! Women! A species that just cannot be understood!
Xiao YanXue was both angered and anxious as she tapped on Ling Tian's forehead lightly, ”Haiz, you were wise for a lifetime but foolish for an instant . ”
Ling Tian suddenly felt that something was definitely wrong and grew solemn as well . ”Can I seek your teachings?”
”Haiz . ” Xiao YanXue let out a sigh, ”If you were Yu ManLou and the son with the brightest future had pa.s.sed away with only two wastrels left behind, how would you feel? The three miseries of life: death of parents when young, death of spouse during the middle-aged days, and death of son when old . Yu ManLou can already be considered to be an old man and such a blow was something that not many people would be able to endure! Even if Yu ManLou had great control over his emotions, his state of mind would definitely be affected because he could no longer see any hope . ”
”True . ” Ling Tian's face grew ugly . It seems like he had unknowingly made a huge mistake! He had given his biggest opponent a glimmer of hope!
”Currently, the most important thing to a person like Yu ManLou isn't the extension of his life but for his family lineage to carry on . ” Xiao YanXue said hatefully, ”Yu ManLou originally did not have any thoughts about that and only wanted to live the last segment of his life with brilliance . He originally did not have any hope for the younger generation of the Yu Family but you actually gave him such a huge hope at this period! You reminded him that he can have another child…” Xiao YanXue's face blushed slightly and she continued, ”With Yu ManLou's status and age, he would not have thought of that for sure . However, you in an attempt to give him a blow, you gave him a huge reminder!”
”This reminder of yours helped him to walk out of the trap he would have never walked out of . Furthermore, he will be filled with even greater fighting spirit to gain hegemony over the continent . You gave him a new hope and target while filling up his originally fatigued heart again . This opponent that was already difficult to deal with will become even more troublesome! As long as someone has a change in the state of his mind, there would definitely be a huge chain effect!” Xiao YanXue glared at Ling Tian angrily, ”And you are still feeling delighted over your actions!”
Xiao YanXue was indeed a genius who was able to deduce such frightening consequences from Ling Tian's short description! At the same time, Xiao YanXue could not help but grow anxious . The stronger Yu ManLou was, the more Ling Tian and her Xiao Family would be in danger . It was impossible for Xiao YanXue to let go of these two families!
Ling Tian was visibly impacted and he let out a sigh, ”That's right, it was my mistake indeed . A grave mistake!” From the moment he told Yu ManLou those words, he could vaguely sense that something was wrong . However, he just didn't know what was wrong . After Xiao YanXue broke down the matter for him in such detail, he truly realized his mistake! Furthermore, such a grave mistake!
The considerations of a wise man would definitely miss something .
However, even if he realized his mistake, it was far too late already . Yu ManLou was already like a reborn phoenix under his provocation and walked out of hopelessness . While there was a trace of regret in his heart, Ling Tian was filled with more craziness and excitement!
Seeing Ling Tian admit his mistake, Xiao YanXue felt her heart ache and consoled, ”Even if this is the case, it wouldn't be too serious . Let the generals block the soldiers and damp block the flood . We may not end up losing to Yu ManLou . Furthermore, he is almost turning fifty already and would it be that easy for him to have a child? Perhaps it may be a daughter?”
Ling Tian let out a chuckle and said with ease and even excitement, ”Nothing is absolute in the world . However, so what if Yu ManLou can walk out from his hopelessness? Don't you think that things are more interesting that way?”
