659 Arrival At The Shui Family (2/2)
The only reason why the Shui Family ended up in its miserable straits was because of Shui ManKong's mercy! Even if he hated his enemy to the bone, he could not bear to uproot his enemies from the root.
With regards to his character, Ling Tian was completely speechless. No wonder his daughter and son would think of going to Heavenly Star in an attempt to save their family.
Helpless, Ling Tian could only agree to Shui ManKong's request. As long as Shui ManShu was wise enough, Ling Tian would only kill a few individuals to scare him. Upon hearing that, Shui ManKong felt a burden being lifted off his shoulders and quickly agreed.
A pity Shui ManKong was wrong.
Ling Tian had already predicted that Shui ManShu and his gang would definitely not be wise. They wouldn't shed tears if they didn't see the coffin!
Ling Tian had already decided that regardless of Shui ManKong's choice, all of them would have to die!
Indeed, Shui ManShu, Shui ManPing, and the others were even more foolish than Ling Tian had expected! Their words and actions went completely overboard and they were like beasts struggling in a cage!
In Ling Jian's words, ”Even if a coffin is in front of these people, they won't be able to stop themselves from jumping into the coffin to test it out!”
The intense argument from within the Shui Family's hall was one that could be heard from even a mile away. This made Ling Tian who was seated in the side hall extremely impatient. This was originally a problem that could be easily solved with a simple ma.s.sacre but Shui ManKong and Shui QianRou were both vehemently against that idea. However, these two individuals were people who Ling Tian had no choice but to show some face to.
Both father and daughter felt that after Shui WuBo's and Shui ManCheng's death, it shouldn't be too difficult for them to wrestle back the authority within the family. However, they never expected Shui ManShu and Shui ManPing would gather all of the Elders to question and provoke their authority.
The 'incompetence' of the Shui Family had always been Shui ManKong's biggest flaw and Shui ManKong was also blamed for the internal mess within the Shui Family. In their mouths, everything that went wrong in the Shui Family was a result of their Family Head's incompetence and their family head should give up his seat!
As such, emotions flared up and all the Elders of the Shui Family demanded that Shui ManKong fulfill the promise he made before the generational battle and give up all authority in the family before receiving the punishment of the family! The Elders in Shui ManKong's faction naturally refused to back down but were inferior in number. With the argument growing more and more intense, all of their faces flushed red and it seemed as though a chaotic battle was about to break out.
”Ah? Is this the thousand-year-old Shui Family or is this a market?” Why does it seem like I came to the wrong place?” A young voice sounded with disdain in his voice. While the voice wasn't loud, everyone in the hall could hear his voice despite the commotion. Furthermore, every one of them felt as though that young voice was directed at them.
Just what kind of cultivation would be required? Just what kind of means did this individual have? After losing their number one expert, how could the Shui Family not be shocked!
The entire hall immediately fell silent and everyone turned to look at the door.
The door was opened and a young white-robed teen was standing outside the door with a smile on his face. At the same time, his eyes were filled with unconcealed disdain. Behind him, there were a couple of white-robed men standing upright in an orderly fas.h.i.+on. However, right at this moment, everyone in the hall could only see Ling Tian and not anyone else.
Just like on a night with a full moon, regardless of how many stars there are in the sky, everyone's attention would immediately be captured by the moon the moment they look up at the sky! The brightest moon!
This foreign white-robed teen was like the full moon in the sky!
He was like a gigantic magnet attracting all of their gazes.
By Shui ManKong's side, the eyes of the originally enraged Shui QianRou lit up immediately and she was overjoyed. With regards to the stunning effect that he created, Shui QianRou only felt pride! This is my beloved man! My beloved man who loves me!
”Who are you? Why do you dare to barge into my Shui Family's residence! Do you want to become enemies with my Shui Family?” A middle-aged man asked with a solemn expression. He was Shui ManShu.
”Ling Tian! He is Ling Tian from the Ling Family!” A young man cried out with a fl.u.s.tered expression. The one who cried out was Shui QianHai who saw Ling Tian back in Heavenly Star.
Everyone was startled!
Ling Tian, one of the two hegemons in Heavenly Star capable of being a match for Yu ManLou. He was also the widely known number one demon of killing who brought five individuals to fight his way through a million soldiers. To think that such a character would appear before their eyes!
Of course, Ling Tian was also widely known for something else that everyone had already forgotten: He was the number one profligate son in Sky Bearing...
”So it is the arrival of young n.o.ble Ling. Please forgive this Shui for not receiving you.” Shui ManYun cupped his hands and said with a smile. At the same time, he grumbled in his heart, One hegemon has just left and another is here again. For these two opponents of Heavenly Star to appear in Heavenly Wind at the same time, could it be a coincidence? Furthermore, what is Ling Tian's purpose for visiting Heavenly Wind?
”Ah'Jian, was the one who spoke to this young n.o.ble Family Head Shui ManKong?” Ling Tian raised his head up slightly pretending as though he could not hear Shui ManYun's words. Since he was here to seek trouble with them, how would he treat them politely?
”Reporting to young n.o.ble, I heard that Family Head Shui is a heroic figure with an imposing disposition. A figure like him with a cunning pair of eyes would never be the family head of the Shui Family. At the very most, he can only belong to someone from the side branch. Someone like him will never have the rights to be a direct descendant of the family. Young n.o.ble, I am truly sorry! We would not have any information on such a figure. May young n.o.ble forgive me.” Ling Jian rubbed his head and replied respectfully. Ling Jian naturally knew how to work together with his young n.o.ble to blow things up. After all, if he didn't blow things up and a fight didn't break out, wouldn't he have nothing to do?
”A figure like you dares to talk instead of the Shui family head? Is this the way a thousand-year-old family treats its guests?” Ling Tian bellowed in anger before looking at Ling Jian, ”Are you becoming stupid? Why are you not chasing trash like him away? You made this young n.o.ble waste my saliva for no good reason!”
”This subordinate is in the wrong. This subordinate will do so immediately.” Ling Jian acted like a fl.u.s.tered subordinate.
As Shui ManYun heard the conversation of the two individuals, he was almost angered to death! His body trembled from head to toe with his previously fair face turning ashen from anger.
”That who... I am sorry, I don't know your name,” Ling Jian said apologetically but not a tinge of apology could be seen on his face. ”My young n.o.ble wants to talk to your family head. Please step aside. Even if you are from the side branch, you are still a disciple of an aristocratic family. Why don't you know the basic rules? If this happened in the Ling Family, you would definitely be beaten to death for your crimes!”
Shui ManYun finally exploded! This wasn't the way to bully someone! His lips were trembling and even his tone changed, ”Ling Tian! You actually dare to act in such an arrogant manner?! Even a slave of yours dares to humiliate an important member of my Shui Family? So what if you are a hegemon in Heavenly Star? We are now in Heavenly Wind and in the premises of the Shui Family! My status would only be higher than your Ling Family! What right do you have to say such words? What right do you have to humiliate me as such? If you do not give me a reason, my Shui Family will not let you off!”
Ling Tian lowered his head and snapped his fingers. With a frown, he did not even lift his head up to look at Shui ManYun, ”Reason? Not letting me off? Even a character like you can be considered an important member of the Shui Family? You can actually represent the Shui Family? What a fool! If the Shui Family is filled with characters like you, you are truly tarnis.h.i.+ng the name of a thousand-year-old family!”
From Shui ManYun's faction, seven to eight elders stormed out angrily. ”Little junior! Do you know the price of humiliating my Shui Family?! You are going to pay a price for your arrogance today!”
