Ling Tian had almost recited the whole of Pu SongLing's poem without missing a single word.

The six elders felt all of their hair stand up and gooseb.u.mps all over their body.

If this was said by someone else to praise Yu BingYan's relations.h.i.+p with Ling Tian, while it was flattery, it was still understandable. However, Ling Tian had actually bragged about it on his own and it was truly amusing.

"What does young n.o.ble Ling mean?" Yu XiaoRan quickly interrupted Ling Tian's endless speech and had the urge to cover his ears.

"I really can't bear to let her go." A look of pain could be seen on Ling Tian's face as though he was about to have a life or death parting with Yu BingYan. "This... BingYan is my wife! How can I bear to let her do something so dangerous?"

Yu XiaoRan's expression changed and he had already expected that Ling Tian would definitely create trouble for him.

He then heard Ling Tian continuing, "...However, since the Yu Family is pleading to me earnestly. I really shouldn't be stopping this matter but the pain in my heart is truly unbearable."

The six Yu Family elders cursed together in their thoughts, Who is pleading to you?! Do you think that you are worthy?!

Ling Tian looked at Yu XiaoRan and said emotionally, "Elder Yu, if you were in my shoes, could you bear to send your wife to her death?"

Yu XiaoRan was immediately enraged. What is the meaning of this?!

"...Besides that, there aren't any benefits either..." Ling Tian let out a desolate sigh, "Only a fool would agree to something so foolis.h.!.+ While I am not someone intelligent, I am definitely not a fool, right?!"

The six of them were angered by Ling Tian's shamelessness to the point smoke could be seen coming out from their seven orifices. After talking for so long, you just want to have some benefits? Rather than beating about the bush for such a long time, you might as well say it in a straightforward manner from the start. Your shamelessness is truly unmatched in the world!

"May I ask young n.o.ble Ling, cough cough, just what kind of benefits do you want? Just what must we do to let the little princess return with us?" Yu XiaoRan had a belly full of anger.

"Benefits?! What do you mean by that?!" Ling Tian flew into a rage, "Do you think that the relations.h.i.+p between me and BingYan can be measured by benefits? This is the biggest humiliation to our sincere relations.h.i.+p! This matter shall come to an end right now!" Ling Tian had an angry expression and he looked as though he was thoroughly enraged.

"Err... this old man didn't watch my words just now and I hope that young n.o.ble Ling will forgive me." Yu XiaoRan was filled with displeasure as he cursed Ling Tian for erecting a chast.i.ty monument despite being a wh.o.r.e. This brat in front of him was without a doubt the most shameless person in the world! "However, both of our families are in-laws with each other and if young n.o.ble Ling has a problem, you can just let us know. We are not outsiders after all."

"I see." Ling Tian calmed his 'anger' down. "If that's the case, I shall not stand on ceremony."

Since when have you stood on ceremony?! the six elders cursed together.

"A while ago, the Lei Family received news from an unknown source and found out that the little princess of the Yu Family was currently staying in the Ling Family Courtyard. These thieves actually had the guts to invade the Ling Family Courtyard in an attempt to kill BingYan! Our Ling Family fought a bitter battle in order to defeat the a.s.saulting enemies before being able to protect the safety of the little princess." Ling Tian had a look of grief on his face, "However, our casualties were heavy and our Ling Family Courtyard had been almost turned into a wasteland. The acc.u.mulation of three generations of our Ling Family was plundered by the Lei Family thieves and we had more than 100,000 casualties."

"Cough cough cough..." Yu XiaoRan began coughing incessantly.

How shameless! Too shameless! Yu XiaoRan finally understood what it truly meant to be shameless!

The Lei Family obviously intended to wipe out the Ling Family Courtyard, what has it got to do with the little princess of our Yu Family? Why is it such that their mission is suddenly to a.s.sa.s.sinate our little princess? Isn't the ability of this brat to turn lies into the truth too exaggerated?

Besides that, while your Ling Family Courtyard isn't small, holding 100,000 soldiers is complete nonsense! Not to mention having more than 100,000 casualties! If that was truly the case, your Ling Family would have probably been wiped out from the world already.

Besides that, the Ling Residence wasn't attacked at all and the acc.u.mulation of your Ling Family wasn't plundered in the slightest. As for the Ling Family Courtyard being turned into a wasteland... Yu XiaoRan let out a long sigh as he looked around. Have you ever seen such a beautiful wasteland?

"For the Lei Family to perform such a deed, they are indeed the enemies of the world! With such malicious intentions of theirs, they are the common enemy of both our Yu and Ling Family!" Ling Tian said with righteousness, "Thus, they must pay the price!"

"What young n.o.ble means..." Yu XiaoRan's face turned ugly. He could already guess what Ling Tian meant.

"We have already begun our revenge operation against the Lei Family but there is a portion of the Lei Family members in your Yu Family's territory. It really isn't convenient for us to take action." Ling Tian's smile became cold, "I want all the heads of those from the Lei Family!"

"Regardless of man or woman, young or old! Not a single less!"

Yu XiaoRan took in a breath of cold air and cold sweat filled his back.

"Our Ling Family has already made the necessary preparations and the rest would be your Yu Family's affair. However, your Yu Family still has not made a move until now and I am getting impatient." Ling Tian chuckled coldly, "If you want me to allow your Yu Family to bring BingYan back, you will have to first hand over the heads of the Lei Family! There isn't any room for discussion! Of course, you are allowed to reject me as well. The decision will lie in your hands."

Yu XiaoRan was immediately stuck in a dilemma.

He already knew that he would definitely face troubles in his trip to Sky Bearing but never expected for the trouble to be such a huge one!

The Lei Family attacking the Ling Family was under the orders of the Yu Family. However, Ling Tian's condition was for the Yu Family to hand over the heads of the Lei Family members. If the Yu Family agreed to it, who would dare to work together with the Yu Family again?

But if they did not agree to Ling Tian's condition, Ling Tian would use that as an excuse to keep their little princess behind and forbid her from taking part in the generational battle. While the Yu Family wouldn't necessarily lose because of that, they would be going back on their word. They had already fixed the partic.i.p.ants a few years back and Yu BingYan was the only lady in the Yu Family's younger generation. Wouldn't they become a joke for the world? Besides that, the Shui Family had an old enmity with the Yu Family and the Yu Family wouldn't be able to endure the humiliation from such a huge blunder.

Furthermore, their Family Head, Yu ManLou, wanted to make use of this opportunity to send Yu BingYan to her death so that the Ling Family and Water of Heavenly Wind would be enemies. If they did not succeed...

Ling Tian had insisted that the Yu and Ling Family were opposed to the Lei Family in his words. Could it be that he was supposed to jump out an admit that the Lei Family was working under the orders of the Yu Family? It was impossible for them to do that and if they did, it would be impossible for Ling Tian to allow Yu BingYan to go with them...

The expressions of the six elders turned bitter. Currently, they no longer had the effort to think about their previous humiliation and had their brows furrowed in frustration.

"Err... young n.o.ble Ling. Cough cough... the few of us will not be able to make such a decision." Yu XiaoRan could only choose to stall for time.

"Oh, that's alright. How about this, I will write a letter to your Yu Family Head for him to make a decision." Ling Tian chuckled, "There's no rush at all. I have plenty of time. After all, the decision rightfully lies in the hands of your Yu Family."

The six elders were about to burst out into tears. While you have plenty of time, we don't! Decision rights? What kind of dogsh*t decision rights do we have?!

Ling Tian's brush strokes were like a dancing dragon and his words were like the towering mountains. However, the content of the letter was extremely simple: I want the heads of the Lei Family! All of them!

Since the Yu Family said that they were rushed for time, Ling Tian decided to not call for his study attendant but write the letter on his own. As the six elders watched Ling Tian pen the letter, all of them looked as though they had eaten a mouthful of sh*t.

Ling Tian folded the letter and handed it over to Yu XiaoRan with a friendly tone, "All of you elders are truly the esteemed guests of our Ling Family. I shall make the arrangements to prepare the best guest rooms for all of you. Please do not stand on ceremony and eat whatever you wish. All of you elders can treat this place like your own home. Right, all of you don't seem to have a lot of time."

Ling Tian then paused for a moment before reminding them with a tinge of embarra.s.sment, "Even if all of you are busy, it is still important to take care of your physical needs. You will still have to rush back later! If you have some... special needs... do not stand on ceremony. While my Ling Family don't specialize in this industry, we are still understanding individuals. We aren't too far from the few brothels in the city and there is a secret location to fulfill all of your hidden fetishes... If Elders are interested, I can point the way for you. While our Ling Family members are concerned about our purity, it wouldn't be too much for us to point the way to you. Ah ah... of course, all of you are already getting older and your bodies probably aren't so needy. Err, I'm sorry for saying something in the wrong way. If there isn't anything else, I shall take my leave first. If your esteemed family head knew of the benefits that I am offering all of you, he would definitely thank me with a long letter. However, such basic hospitality is still necessary." Ling Tian said with righteousness.

Brothels?! Special needs?! Secret locations?! Physical needs?! Yu XiaoRan and the other elders were on the verge of exploding. Your Ling Family still dares to talk about your purity?! When they were about to burst out in rage, they heard about Ling Tian talking about their old age and did not even have the energy to blow up. Regardless of their age, as a man, how would they be able to accept someone talking about their inability? The few Yu Family elders had the urge to use the worst method to prove their abilities! However, they finally managed to suppress their anger with their willpower.
