”Be buried with him?” Tears could be seen in NanGong Yu's eyes as she coldly laughed, ”We don't even possess the strength to allow Ling Tian to be buried with us! The moment we rush indiscriminately into action, the only thing that will be buried with us is the family that we've run for centuries! Second Uncle, this niece begs you to be more realistic! Be patient and endure for a while more . Father's death will not be in vain!”
”No!” NanGong TianHu burst into a rage, pulling at his hair . Strands of frizzled hair flew all over the place as he painfully replied, ”He killed my elder brother! Killed him! I can't wait even a second longer, I'm going to kill him now! Sacrifice him to my big brother in heaven!” NanGong TianHu's face contorted into a ferocious expression, and he suddenly grabbed on NanGong Yu's throat . He started strangling her as he screamed with bloodshot eyes, ”NanGong Yu! If you're going to stop me from avenging my brother's death, then this old man will first settle you!”
”Cough cough…” NanGong Yu struggled to breathe . Seeing that her uncle did not have any thoughts of placing her down, she could only weakly sputter out, ”Ok… If you're willing to listen to my arrangement, then I can implement the revenge plan against Ling Tian, against the entire Ling Family!”
Peng! TianHu immediately threw her onto the ground, urging, ”Hurry, tell me your plan now!”
As NanGong Yu picked herself up, a hint of despair could be seen in her eyes . However, she calmly replied, ”Second Uncle, you need to first promise me that in this entire operation you will only listen to my orders . Only then will we even have the slightest chance at succeeding . If you decide to act alone, then I would rather use my authority as the Family Head to dissolve the NanGong Family, then to cause disaster! Or you could kill me now so that at least the NanGong Family will not be annihilated by my own hands!”
NanGong TianHu threw himself onto a chair, breathing heavily . Finally, he directed his ferocious gaze onto his niece, spitting out a long breath, ”Say it! I'll follow all your orders! I only wish for revenge!”
”All along, we've been working together with the Ling Family and furthermore have obtained quite the bit of benefit . While we've paid a hefty price to do so, we've managed to destroy the killer of my third brother, the Yang Family . Without the support from the Ling Family, it would be an impossibility of us to achieve that matter, let alone being able to take over their businesses afterward! We've obtained quite a bit in return, does Second Uncle agree to that?” As she spoke, NanGong Yu rubbed her neck . Under the force of NanGong TianHu, there was already a bruise forming .
”So what?” NanGong TianHu bl.u.s.tered, ”Just for that little bit of benefit, how could it compare to the life of my brother? He is no longer in this world, so how could having so much benefit amount to?!”
Another hint of sorrow pa.s.sed through NanGong Yu's eyes . But upon seeing TianHu gradually compose himself, able to use his brain to think, she relaxed because she knew that she could finally get to him . ”The cooperation between the two families is in the end based on benefits, and even in the end, the Ling Family made use of the Yang Family to destroy a large portion of our forces . To that point, we can say that it was our own just desserts since we did not harbor any good intentions . Do you agree with this too?”
NanGong TianHu only snorted as he looked away .
”If it's just like that, then that would be acceptable . After all, although we've sacrificed a lot, we have also benefited equally . NanGong Yu's eyes were downcast, and it was unknown as to what she was thinking in her heart . However, the words coming out from her mouth were distinct and clear, ”But, father just had to attempt to get a share of the profits when Justice was in pursuit of Ling Tian . This could be said to be a little insatiable . ” Upon seeing that her uncle was about to leap up, she immediately stretched her hand to gesture to him to sit back down, ”I know what father intended . Sky Bearing had already fallen, becoming the land of the Ling Family, and the huge benefits it offered would only benefit the Ling Family . Without Ling Tian, they would not be able to hold onto Sky Bearing for long . Furthermore, because we worked with him before, we understood his strength and acc.u.mulations . So long as he died, then with our partners.h.i.+p, we could take over a lot of businesses, and we would then rise to become a first-rate aristocratic family, comparable to the Yu and Xiao Families . ”
She then sighed, ”I know that you two had this plan, and it was a good plan . Ling Tian escaping on his own, without any support, so long as he died, no one would know who killed him . Thus, so long as we played the part of the pursuers after Ling Tian, we would obtain the most benefits . Father was thinking for the Family, thus even though the plan was a little unscrupulous, it was acceptable . ”
”But now, Ling Tian has yet to die, but Father has already met his demise . ” NanGong Yu coughed twice, coldly remarking, ”This matter was in the first place our fault, and I a.s.sume that Ling Tian already has implacable hatred towards us . Our two families are already conflicted with each other, and now my concern is that he will knock on our door at any time for revenge . I'm thinking of how to protect the entire family, the thousands of lives in our family, but Second Uncle you are already thinking of taking revenge?”
”Such a deep hatred, who does not want revenge? However, our opponent is Ling Tian . Do you have any a.s.surance to win?” NanGong Yu looked at her uncle . ”You've also eaten his techniques before, so I won't request so much . So long as you have a 30% chance to kill Ling Tian, I'll mobilize all the family's strength to take revenge for you! But do you have that 30%? You have to be honest!”
NanGong TianHu angrily grumbled, the flames of hatred in his eyes seemingly about to materialize, but he finally lowered his head in defeat . Forget about 30%, he did not even think of having half a percent chance of dealing with Ling Tian! Even if he wanted a pyrrhic victory, he needed a certain degree of strength . A pity, NanGong TianHu did not possess such strength, and even combining the entire strength of the NanGong Family, they might not even possess that capability!
