With a carefree laughter, Ling Tian floated onto his horse without turning back, ”Wonderful! Wonderful! This is the outcome of you trying to s.n.a.t.c.h someone's wife!”
He then turned around and said gently, ”My dear wife, the matters have been settled and even if crown prince DongFang wants to s.n.a.t.c.h the wife of another in the future, he won't have the ability to do so . Shall we leave?”
Xiao YanXue responded with a soft 'Mmm' and the hands covering her face tightly eased up slightly . At the same time, her face flushed red upon hearing Ling Tian call her 'my dear wife' . Ling Tian then laughed heartily and grabbed the reins of Xiao YanXue's horse in his hands . With a light kick, both the horses began galloping forward .
Seeing how the guards in front of him were standing in a daze, Ling Tian exploded forth with killing intent and shouted, ”Are the rest of you not going to form up into a formation to send my wife and I off? Do you still want to compare notes with me?”
Xiao YanXue burst out laughing and scolded, ”Darn tyrant!” However, the way she looked at this 'darn tyrant' was filled with love and care .
The dozens of guards in front of Ling Tian trembled involuntarily and obediently split up into two groups . Their actions were extremely stiff as though they were wooden puppets .
”A bunch of idiots! The goose winged formation! Don't you guys know what the goose winged formation is? A bunch of useless idiots!” Ling Tian scolded, looking like a military instructor flaunting his prestige in the camps . He then left toward the horizon with Xiao YanXue by his side…
Along the way, Xiao YanXue had a big smile and was obviously in an extremely good mood . From time to time, she would look at Ling Tian sweetly with happiness welling up in her heart . Her beloved man had finally stood up to protect her today . Furthermore, his fury had also shown how much he cared for her . Thinking about that, Xiao YanXue grinned from ear to ear .
Xiao YanXue was truly satisfied to see the lecherous profligate being taught such a miserable lesson!
”Tian'ge, you are truly so mighty…” Xiao YanXue flattered .
”Cough cough…” Ling Tian began coughing incessantly . In his memory, the word 'mighty' shouldn't be used in this manner .
”After teaching this b*st*rd a lesson today, we shall see if he still dares to go out and s.n.a.t.c.h ladies!” Xiao YanXue was full of joy and made a funny face at Ling Tian's frowning expression .
”Err, even if he wants to s.n.a.t.c.h the ladies, he doesn't have any tool to use . ” Ling Tian burst out laughing, ”What is the point of talking about such trash?”
”Hehe, Tian'ge, I love it the most when you stand up for me . ” Xiao YanXue looked as though she was eager to jump onto Ling Tian's horse . ”When we are at Sky Bearing, shall we find a few more profligate young masters to teach them a lesson?”
Ling Tian rolled his eyes, ”La.s.s, the number one profligate young master in Sky Bearing is right before your very eyes . ”
”Ah… that's right… hahaha…” Only then did Xiao YanXue remember about Ling Tian's fame and burst out laughing .
Ling Tian looked at this reckless la.s.s beside him . You still want to teach the profligate young masters of Sky Bearing a lesson? When we are at Sky Bearing, this profligate young master here shall eat you up!
In front of them was the entrance to a mountain pa.s.s, and after this mountain pa.s.s, the road would be split into three directions . One would be to Sky Bearing, the other Northern Wei, and the last towards the southeast direction . If Ling Tian went along the path towards Sky Bearing, he would be on his way home .
All of a sudden, Ling Tian halted his horse and said, ”Stop! A large group of troops is approaching on horse . I wonder where they are coming from?!”
Xiao YanXue hurriedly stopped her horse and looked at Ling Tian with a pair of doubtful eyes .
With Ling Tian's cultivation and inhumane hearing, he was able to hear the troops who were coming from afar . The rumbling sound of horses coming from the southeastern direction .
Could they be from the Xiao Family? This was Ling Tian's first guess .
Thinking about Xiao YanXue's ident.i.ty, Ling Tian had no choice but to be careful . After all, this la.s.s had escaped from her house . Looking at her, Ling Tian said solemnly, ”They are coming from the southeastern direction and there are four to five hundred men . ”
”Ah?” Xiao YanXue grew fl.u.s.tered, ”Then… let us hide first . ”
Ling Tian was elated in his heart . This la.s.s was indeed afraid . The two of them then swiftly hid behind a few trees at a bend . While they would be able to see the incoming troops clearly, if the incoming troops did not purposely turn their head around, it would be impossible to spot them . In order to be safe, Xiao YanXue hastily covered both Ling Tian and her face up with a mask .
The sound of the horses' hooves rumbled and a group of more than a hundred horses galloped past them towards the road heading to Northern Wei's Bright Jade City . They came and left like the wind, kicking up a huge dust cloud behind them .
