Chapter 631 The Start Of A Journey (1/2)
”Father...” Yu BingYan stopped walking and looked at her father with her eyes hazy. She then pounced into her father's embrace with tears streaming down her cheeks.
Yu ManTang hugged his daughter tightly and was immersed in the feeling of holding his daughter in his embrace.
A long while later, Yu BingYan finally stopped sobbing and said softly, ”During this trip to Heavenly Wind, while I do not dare say the same about the others, BingYan will definitely not be in the slightest bit of danger. Father can be at ease.”
”'Oh?” Yu ManTang frowned for a moment before breaking out into a big smile, ”Did Ling Tian make an arrangement?”
”What Ling Tian? Tian'ge is your son-in-law.” Yu BingYan said shyly.
Yu ManTang laughed heartily, ”Haha, that's right. Did my son-in-law make an arrangement?”
”That's right, everything is under Tian'ge's control.” Yu BingYan's face reddened as she said.
Everything is under his control? As Yu ManTang heard those words, he could not help but doubt in his heart.
Since when did Ling Tian have such abilities? Yu ManTang was filled with a tinge of doubt in his heart but after seeing his daughter's confident appearance, Yu ManTang knew that he should not say anything else. However, he was no longer as worried as before.
Since Ling Tian had made preparations, BingYan's life would definitely not be in danger. As for the preparations that Ling Tian had made, it would be the best for him to be kept out of the loop, lest he accidentally divulge it. While Yu ManTang was confident in himself, he knew that he couldn't match up to his big brother's scheming and the best way for him to keep a secret would be to remain ignorant.
Yu BingYan lifted her head up and said, ”Father, I hope that you can be a good host to the 500 guards that Ling Tian sent. After allowing them to tour Bright Jade City for a day or two, I will keep a few personal guards back and send the rest back to Sky Bearing.”
”Naturally.” Yu ManTang chuckled before asking his daughter, ”These 500 guards are all br.i.m.m.i.n.g with energy and are definitely talented individuals. The few personal guards that my son-in-law picked out for you should be extremely skilled right? My son-in-law is truly generous!”
Yu BingYan's face turned red and she nodded her head with agreement, ”I do not dare hide things from Father and any one of their martial arts would be comparable to Third Uncle.”
Yu ManTang took in a deep breath of cold air! Every one of them is comparable to Yu ManTian?!
That meant that there were at least three or four individuals with such strength! Yu ManTian was already nearing the middle Gold Jade Rank. Apart from the few old fellows in the Yu Family, there were less than ten who were capable of winning against Yu ManTian! For a nouveau riche family like the Ling Family, it would be already an amazing feat if Ling Tian was able to send out four peak HouTian experts at once. However, Ling Tian had actually sent out four middle Gold Jade Rank experts at once just for Yu BingYan. It could be seen just how much Ling Tian doted on Yu BingYan!
Yu ManTang felt that the strength of his son-in-law was becoming more and more mysterious. Only at this point could he truly be at ease about Yu BingYan's safety. At the same time, he was also extremely grateful on behalf of Yu BingYan. Just from how Ling Tian was willing to send out so many experts to guard Yu BingYan, it could be seen how happy her life was in the Ling Family.
Yu ManTang twiddled with his beard and muttered, ”If that's the case, then you should leave a few more of them behind. Apart from your few personal guards, you should leave a few dozen guards behind to pull the wool over everyone's eyes. Even if they are capable of retracting their aura, it is best to be careful. If the family notices that they are all top-notch experts, it may cause some troubles instead. With your first uncle's personality, he may come up with a sinister plan.”
”Yes, Father has truly thought things through.” Yu BingYan felt her heart shake and agreed solemnly. She originally only planned to keep Feng, Yun, Lei, and Dian behind, but after her father's reminder, she realized that her original plan was extremely inappropriate. With her first uncle's character, if he found out that there were such experts in the Ling Family, he would definitely come up with a plan to exterminate them!
Under Yu ManTang's arrangements, Ling Feng and the rest entered the Yu Family in a low-profile manner. After some serious considerations, Yu BingYan kept sixty guards behind and stationed them in the courtyard where she and her father stayed. The guards were split into four groups with Feng, Yun, Lei, and Dian each leading a group. They surrounded Yu BingYan's room with a water-tight defense.
The Ling Family was currently enemies with the Yu Family in the Heavenly Star Continent and the presence of the Ling Family guards naturally dissatisfied the Yu Family members. Thus, conflicts between the two groups were inevitable but Ling Feng and the rest chose to endure the humiliation rather than have conflicts with the Yu Family members.
Such a powerful mental resilience made Yu ManTang gasp with admiration. It was easy to draw the sword but difficult to bear with humiliation! Even after a month, Yu ManTang could not tell who the experts among the group were!
While the Ling Family guards moved into the Yu Family in an orderly fas.h.i.+on, ever since these guards entered the Yu Family, Bright Jade City was thrown into chaos. Despite it being winter, houses would catch fire all around the city for no good reason and many would complain about thefts in their homes. The whole Yu Family was filled with an extremely dark atmosphere.
The Yu Family monitored the movements of the sixty guards day and night but was helpless as they realized that these sixty guards were completely stationary when all of these bizarre events occurred. Because of that, they could only helplessly proclaim them as innocent. In this winter, Bright Jade City seemed to have been through a war and the whole city was completely devoid of energy.
Finally, just when everyone was leading bitter lives, the spring winds began to blow.
The atmosphere in the Yu Family became even tenser.
