Seeing Xiao YanXue's look of worry, Ling Tian could not help but be moved in his heart . Then, he suddenly pulled Xiao YanXue over from her horse and gave her a kiss on the cheek . At the same time, he kicked his horse and roared out loudly, ”I, Hu HanSan, am back again… ” 1
Amid Xiao YanXue's complaining, the two horses gradually disappeared into the distance .
If Li Xue was really mad, the consequences would be dire! Ling Tian knew that someone would definitely be in trouble for sure! This great aunt's methods were truly devious and merciless . Anyone who provoked her would definitely not have a good ending . Ling Jian was cool enough but was toyed with to the point that he almost cried . Ling Chen's status was high enough, but she was still forcefully trained! Even if Ling Tian was around, if he accidentally provoked her, he would definitely be taught a good lesson as well!
A ferocious character like her was one that no one dared to provoke…
In this period of time, the horrendous behavior of the Shui Family members made Li Xue and Ling Chen to be fed up to the extreme . These two women had truly witnessed first hand what the saying 'incapable of accomplis.h.i.+ng anything and only capable of ruining things' meant! If not for the fact that the two ladies had to consider the effects these people had on Ling Tian's plans, the two of them would have definitely slaughtered all of the Shui Family members! The two ladies had actually agreed on this point with complete harmony!
At the same time, under the patient guidance of Li Xue, Yu BingYan also had some accomplishment in melding martial arts into painting and painting into martial arts . She was currently in a state of sudden enlightenment and was cultivating in seclusion . It wasn't surprising to see her disappear for a few days, and she was fully focused on her painting and martial arts only . This carefree lifestyle of hers had made both Ling Chen and Li Xue extremely envious .
After Ling Chen and Shui QianRou had fixed the plan in the Courtyard, Shui QianRou excitedly returned to where her Shui Family was residing and gathered her cousins and elders to discuss the matter . After describing the plan of working together with the Ling Family to ambush the returning Yu Family's forces, she never imagined that her three cousins and the six elders were completely disinterested in the matter . It was as though she had been doused with a bucket of water .
”Since both of our families are working together, why won't the Ling Family send any men? If our Shui Family is to be fully in charge of a.s.saulting the Yu Family's troops, wouldn't it be equivalent to working for the Ling Family? Are you trying to trick a little child?!” These were the original words of Shui QianHu .
”Since we are working together, both parties must display their sincerity . On what basis can the Ling Family not send any men but only provide us with information? Do they take us to be blind and deaf, incapable of getting information on our own? Don't they know that we can also send out our scouts? What is the point of working with the Ling Family if they aren't going to contribute anything?” These were Shui QianJiang's words .
”Furthermore, the Ling and Yu Families are in-laws in name, so how would we know if this is just a plan to trap our Shui Family? We have to be extremely cautious at this moment, and it doesn't pay to be careless!” This was Shui QianHai .
”Even if their information is extremely accurate and they have the sincerity to work with us, the Ling Family is only a nouveau riche family that we can wipe out with a snap of our fingers . What right do they have to work with us? Alliance partners? Is their Ling Family even worthy? QianRou, you and your brother made a mistake when deciding to form an alliance with the Ling Family . We are a family that has been around for a thousand years and not any random family is fit to work together with us! The two of you have truly thrown the face of our Shui Family!” This was what a few of the elders said . These old men were obviously still holding onto the former glory of the Shui Family and were unfamiliar with the present circ.u.mstance of the world!
Only the fifth elder did not say anything nasty but said in a solemn tone, ”We are in the midst of chaotic times and this matter must be discussed further . We cannot make rash decisions . ”
Shui QianRou felt an endless grief and disappointment . For herself, for the people in front of her, and for the Shui Family! A thousand-year legacy, a thousand years of glory, and a thousand years of stability . Why have things developed to such a state? Why doesn't anyone in the family have any foresight? Why are they all so arrogant and full of themselves? Such a family was far too different from the ideal family that she was loyal to in her heart!
Complete disappointment! This was her only feeling . The Ling Family isn't worthy? Then who is? In truth, probably the Ling Family is the one who has the right to say 'you aren't worth to form an alliance with my Ling Family' in the Heavenly Star Continent . To think that her Shui Family actually had the cheek to say that the Ling Family wasn't worthy . Wasn't that too foolish of them?!
Who was the one who isn't worthy?!
Discuss the matter further? The Yu Family members would retreat in three to five days time! How long were they going to discuss the matter? Discuss the matter until the point where the Yu Family is safely tucked into their beds in Bright Jade City before taking action? What was the point of the mission then? Was it for us to go out and be slaughtered?
The Shui Family had a thousand years of foundation and was the number one family of the Heavenly Wind Continent . When were they reduced to such a state? Was it because they could rule over the Heavenly Wind Continent smoothly without anyone to oppose them? Were they no longer used to forming an alliance of equal status?!
