Chapter 545: How to Comfort
Translator: DavidT Editor: DavidT, Rock
With regards to the first and third matter, one was extremely brain taxing while the other required a lot of strength . Both of them weren't easy matters to solve and even the slightest mistake would screw matters up completely . Naturally, Ling Jian's matter would become the second matter . Ling Tian completely intended to treat Ling Jian's battle with Li Xue like a show for him to enjoy . It would be like relaxing with a good show after a day of hard work…
With regards to the battle between the two, even if Ling Tian did not think highly about Ling Jian, it was still necessary to allow Li Xue to force out Ling Jian's potential . After all, it wasn't easy to find someone capable of suppressing Ling Jian completely with his current strength . Even if there was, Ling Jian would definitely have to put his life at risk and if something were to go wrong, the losses would far exceed the gains! While Ling Tian would be considered someone who could suppress Ling Jian, Ling Jian would have his hands tied when facing him and would never be able to unleash all of his strength… Furthermore, there was another reason for Ling Tian to agree to this battle . He wanted to see just what level Ling Jian was at so that he knew how to guide him from now on .
Of course, regardless of whether it was Li Xue forcing out Ling Jian's potential or allowing Ling Tian to observe Ling Jian's strength, there was one condition which had to be fulfilled: Ling Jian must definitely be wasted by Li Xue . The only thing that Ling Tian could do would be to control the matter such that Ling Jian's prestige in the Courtyard would not be affected . Thinking about how Ling Jian had already prepared the goldthread, Ling Tian could not help but laugh . Ling Jian who was so eager for revenge must have definitely prepared a large amount of goldthread . Who knows if he was aware that this goldthread was actually prepared for himself?
Thinking about how Ling Jian's valor would land him with a bunch of bruises while 'enjoying' his goldthread drink, Ling Tian suddenly felt that life was extremely wonderful . While he was extremely busy right now, there would always be someone in the world suffering more than him . When comparing his plight to Ling Jian, he was naturally in a much better situation…
Hearing a soft groan coming out from the room, Ling Tian slapped his forehead . Time to get busy! He then hurriedly walked into the room .
The one who let out the groan was naturally Miss Shui QianRou . Her injuries from the battle weren't too heavy and she had only overused her inner qi . But after witnessing the repulsive actions of her family's Elders, she was completely disappointed with the att.i.tude of her family and could no longer see any hope for the future of her family . At the same time, the conviction that she had held onto all her life had also collapsed . Under a state of over-exhaustion, she could no longer battle the demons in her heart and collapsed .
The fatigued Shui QianRou was struck down by the internal and external a.s.saults of her mind and body . It was also Ling Chen's mind-calming medicine that allowed Shui QianRou to rest and recover . After a long rest, Ling Tian was certain that Shui QianRou's situation should be better .
”It's you? You're back?” On the bed, an extremely weak Shui QianRou looked at Ling Tian with shock . At the same time, a trace of joy flashed past her eyes and her face flushed red . But upon thinking about the things that had happened recently her mood could not help but turn dull again .
”It is me indeed . ” Ling Tian walked in with a chuckle, ”Miss Shui, we are truly fated . Every time we meet, you would be lying on the bed . ”
Shui QianRou let out a melancholic smile and forcefully lifted herself up as she said in a lonely tone, ”Ling Tian, congratulations for coming back safely . You should be very happy to see me like this, right?”
”That's right . ” Ling Tian dragged a chair over to the bed and sat with his legs crossed . He then looked her through the corner of her eyes, ”Especially when seeing someone sink into hopelessness because she had been abandoned by the family that she had devoted her all to . When I see someone incapable of finding hope in their future, I would definitely laugh . ”
Shui QianRou smiled with hopelessness, ”That's right, you have a reason to laugh because you are the victor . Furthermore, you have successfully escaped from the number one expert in the world and shocked the world with your name . I believe that there wouldn't be anyone in the world that you don't dare to laugh at . I… should I congratulate you?”
”I accept your congratulations, even if you are not sincerely congratulating me but ridiculing me . ” Ling Tan looked at her with a smile, ”But I will treat it as an abandoned person being envious and jealous of a victor . ”
”You!!!” Shui QianRou sat up in anger with the intention to curse at Ling Tian but just did not know what to say . She then collapsed back into bed and said with a disheartened tone, ”I wouldn't dare to be jealous . However, young n.o.ble Ling's accomplishment is truly worthy of my envy . ” As she said that, she turned away from Ling Tian and faced the wall as a tear rolled down her cheek . She refused to show Ling Tian her weakness .
Ling Tian laughed coldly but his tone suddenly became gentler, ”There is someone who was betrayed by his friend and abandoned by his family and loved ones . He was left with nothing and was injured in both body and spirit . A few days later, his parents were harmed by their enemies and also pa.s.sed away,” Ling Tian said with a tinge of mockery . At this moment, he actually began telling Shui QianRou a story .
Shui QianRou didn't know what Ling Tian's intention was but upon hearing the words betrayed and abandoned, she thought that Ling Tian was trying to describe her . With a grunt, she turned around and covered her ears refusing to listen to Ling Tian . However, even when she covered her ears, Ling Tian's voice still entered them clearly . ”As such, this person experienced all the misery of life and was filled with hopelessness in his heart . He cried every day, every night, every month and every year . Apart from eating, he did not do anything else but cry . In the end, after crying for a few months, he actually had a huge harvest . Can you guess what his harvest was?”
Shui QianRou snorted and felt that Ling Tian was just too irritating . To think that he would actually mock her at such a moment . He was far too ungentlemanly!
She then heard Ling Tian feigning shock . ”He cried every day and not only did his friend return, his friend even paid him back for all his losses and apologized to him earnestly . ”
”Ah?” Shui QianRou turned around and was filled with incredulity .
”The moment he realized that crying was effective, he continued to cry every day . All of a sudden, even his family accepted him and even allowed him to become the Family Head . At the same time, his lover also returned to his side and everything returned back to normal . ” Ling Tian said with a serious expression .
” . . . ” Shui QianRou's mouth widened in speechlessness .
