681 Fan Of The Assassin (1/2)

”What do all of you know?” Ling Tian shook his head in disagreement, ”To deal with an icy beauty like her, the first thing one must do is shatter that ice-mountain mask of hers. You must first reveal a gap in her heart's defenses so that you can enter her heart. This is something that Ling Jian is already successful in doing. The moment their two eyes meet, they will both fly into a rage within a couple of sentences. He is truly a genius for learning how to pick up girls without a teacher!”

”But he is complete trash after that. He actually wants to kill the other party!” Li Xue let out a sigh as she shook her head, ”How noobis.h.!.+”

Ling Tian suddenly burst out into laughter, ”Ah'Xue, based on your judgment, how do you think Meng FanYun from Above Heavens compares to Ling Jian?”

The moment this was mentioned, Xiao FengYang, Xiao YouHan, and Ling Jian's attention was drawn over. Xiao YouHan looked at Ling Jian and compared him to Meng FanYun in her memories. While the martial arts of this stone-faced fellow wasn't too bad, he was a young boy after all. However, Meng FanYun was the head of one of the three hidden sects. How could they even be mentioned in the same breath?

Indeed, Li Xue frowned and said, ”If our information isn't wrong, Meng FanYun's martial arts are above Yu ManLou's and Ling Jian probably isn't a match for him! There is definitely a gap between both of their martial arts.”

”What you mean is that Ling Jian will definitely not be a match for Meng FanYun if they fight in a face-to-face battle?” Ling Tian asked purposefully.

”Yes!” Li Xue replied.

”If that's the case, I will hand Meng FanYun over to Ling Jian. Ah'Jian, I want you to take off Meng FanYun's head. Are you able to do that?” Ling Tian asked coldly.

”Yes! I will definitely cut off Meng FanYun's head and present it to young n.o.ble!” Ling Jian swore.

Xiao FengYang and Xiao YouHan were both startled upon hearing that. Handing Meng FanYun over to him even though he wasn't a match for Meng FanYun? Isn't this forcing Ling Jian to his death?

Ling Tian looked at Xiao YouHan and smiled, ”Miss, Ling Jian offended Miss just now and I shall let him take this mission as a punishment. I wonder if Miss is satisfied?”

Xiao YouHan was dumbfounded. Why was I pulled back into the matter after such a round-about conversation? Is this stone-faced fellow going to accept a suicide mission because of her?

This, just where did this come from?

Xiao YouHan could not help but stutter, ”Crown Prince Ling Tian, isn't this a little inappropriate?”

Ling Tian replied with a low voice, ”What's inappropriate about that?”

Upon witnessing Ling Tian's displeasure, Xiao FengYang gave an eye signal to Xiao YouHan to indicate that she should stop talking. However, Xiao YouHan could not bear to see Ling Jian give up his life just because he offended her. Ignoring Xiao FengYang's eye signal, she said anxiously, ”Even if he has made mistakes, you can't just send him to his death, right?”

”Send him to his death?” Ling Tian raised an eyebrow, ”Why does Miss say that? I have only given him a challenging mission. Since when did I say that I was sending him to his death?”

Xiao YouHan was exasperated and said loudly, ”Our sect master's martial arts are a hundred times better than his, but you want him to kill someone that he can't kill? Isn't this akin to sending him to his death? Besides, he... he didn't even offend me or make any mistake. How can you do that?...”

The moment these words were said, Xiao FengYang's face turned blue. To think that she dared to reprimand the crown prince of an empire to his face...

”Oh?” Ling Tian was completely unbothered and looked at her with a profound gaze instead, ”It's such a pity. Since this young n.o.ble has given an order, I will not be taking it back! Miss's words are a little too late and even if he is wronged, he has no choice but to go.”

”Could it be that you are going to send your loyal subordinate to his death because of your face?” Xiao YouHan reprimanded with tears in her eyes. She never imagined that a small little argument with Ling Jian would send him to his death. Her heart was immediately in turmoil.

”A woman should not interrupt the matters of men.” Ling Jian frowned and scolded, ”Why are you babbling rubbish when this has nothing got to do with you? You are indeed my heart demon, you actually dare to try to stop my young n.o.ble from giving me a mission!” Ling Jian was originally extremely delighted that his young n.o.ble would give him the exciting mission of killing Above Heavens' sect master. However, Xiao YouHan spoke out to stop his young n.o.ble and had even said that he wasn't a match for Meng FanYun. How could he not be frustrated?

”You!” Xiao YouHan never imagined that her goodwill would be met with such a response from Ling Jian! She could not help but well up with grievances as tears flooded her eyes, ”Who do you think you are? Do you think that you are the First Pavilion Head? Do you know how high Meng FanYun's martial arts are? With just your substandard martial arts, how will you be able to kill him?”
