Chapter 43 – Asking the young master to take me as a servant
Ling Xiao pulled Yu Xi for a few steps, his eyebrows a bit slanted as he spoke: “Don’t you feel tired following us for such a distance? Still not coming out yet?
Tiger Six and Tiger Seven became alert at once. During the journey they didn’t feel anything out of place. However, when their young master said so, as they have known so well their master’s outstanding ability, they were really convinced of his words.
Indeed, at a secret corner, Solitary Eagle jumped out.
At this time, Tiger Six and Tiger Seven immediately wanted to fight. They supposed that this Solitary Eagle definitely wanted to cause trouble to the young master.
“Don’t do anything, Ling young master. I’ve come to rely on you.” Solitary Eagle backed off a step, and waved his sleeve as he shouted to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao looked at Solitary Eagle with such interest: “Rely on me? How are you qualified?”
Ling Xiao was not the kind of dandy who was hot headed that thought too much of his own personal qualifications to take in a person with an unclear profile.
Solitary Eagle seemed to have prepare from earlier as he got from inside him a brocade box: “Young master Ling, this is a strange medical roots I accidentally get my hands on from Huang Cong mountain, hopefully young master Ling would love it.”
Ling Xiao directed his glance for Tiger Seven to go collect the brocade box from Solitary Eagle. Then Tiger Seven opened and brought it in front of Ling Xiao.
“This is?” Ling Xiao looked at the root which emitted a faint grey light in the box. Its stem was especially slim, while the leaves were very large. On top of it there bloomed an ashe grey flower; in that moment, Ling Xiao was unable to remember what this root was.
In fact, even the Solitary Eagle didn’t know what was this root called or which level it belonged to as he just stole it from those adventurers’ hand. In fact, he planned to sell it at the Spiritual Herb Hall yet in order to win the heart of Ling Xiao he couldn’t withhold it, despite not knowing if these were real premium spiritual grass or not and he thought he wouldn’t have any loss.
Ling Xiao closed the box then spoke to Solitary Eagle more seriously: “You want to follow me?”
Solitary Eagle repeatedly nodded his head nonstop: “Yes, young master Ling.”
“With your ability, you could become a deacon by joining whichever family you wish, so why choose me?” Ling Xiao asked.
“Ack… I believe in my feeling. The young master is like the dragon and phoenix. I believe that one day, as I followed you, I would become famous across the whole Jiangxi City.” Solitary Eagle hesitated before answering.
Ling Xiao didn’t say right or wrong; he just laughed: “Maybe according to me, but you must really mean it.”
Solitary Eagle looked passed Ling Xiao and without hesitation he knelt down strongly: “Please young master, take me as your servant!”
“Haha, so from now on you’d become my servant. Just make me feel satisfied, I won’t treat you so badly.” Ling Xiao smiled as he received the box back.
“Praise to young master!” Solitary Eagle responded.
…
North wall, Li family, inside an isolated mansion.
“Damnit, so who killed my daughter?” A sonorous voice roared.
In the room, there was just an old man who seemed to be about fifty years old standing. His face was angry and both eyes filled with anger as he was looking at his daughter’s corpse on the ground. He was Li Qingqing’s father, Li Yuanlong.
Next to him, there was a woman who never ceased crying; she was Li Qingqing’s mother, Zhao shi.
Zhao shi pulled Li Yuanlong’s arm as she cried: “Yuanlong, you must definitely destroy the bastard that killed our daughter, destroy his whole family, and make him dead without peace.”
Zhao shi said in such malicious manner. Li Qingqing had taken this trait from her own mother.
“Li Jun, tell me what has in fact happened?” Li Yuanlong patted his wife’s shoulder before asking Li Jun in a lower tone.
“Here… it was the Ling family’s member doing.” Li Jun hesitated for a moment before he disclosed to Li Yuanlong.
“Ling family!” Li Yuanlong was startled. Then, as the anger on his face didn’t diminish, he waved his hand which caused a nearby thousand-year old mahogany chair destroyed in a blink.
“Pop!”
“They look down on us too much; don’t suppose that our Li family was easily bullied!” Li Yuanlong shouted in anger.
Three big families, Ling family and Li family had always had tension from before; only the Luo family stood in the middle didn’t do much against both of them. Though the young people from both Ling and Li family sometimes had many encounters, none ever took it down to kill anyone as both families didn’t want to pick fights as only the Luo family would gain advantage.
Yet today Li Yuanlong’s daughter had been murdered by Ling Xiao. Li Yuanlong was the eldest son of the head of family this generation, and also the one who would took place as family head for the next generation at the same time. So no matter what, he couldn’t let this incident pass and would definitely require Ling family to give up the culprit; otherwise…
Jiangxi City, Lan family!
Lan family was the family founded almost two hundred years, but had grown more quickly than a few families with older history. It was because each generation of Lan family had such strong ambitions as they wanted to quickly penetrate into the ranks of the five large families. Beside reinforcing their own abilities, they never stopped creating more in-law relationships with other small and middle families, with the purpose of making a good relationship network for Lan family inside Jiangxi City. Of course that wasn’t the real reason why Lan family had developed so quickly.
Mainly it was because each generation of Lan family, the head of family all had such strong and unpredictable abilities. In fact, to be the head of Lan family, one of the top condition was to have one’s ability reaching Linh Shi level to be qualified to lead the family. Therefore, each generation of Lan family would have so many talents that appeared; mostly they competed fiercely against each other with each believing that they were able to fight for the head position. Once they couldn’t get the breakthrough to Xuan warrior level, they lost the chance for the head position forever; even an elder position was difficult to attain.
Lan Kuang Sheng was the most outstanding person among the new generation of Lan family; except for his own effort and talent, more importantly he was the nephew of the current Lan family’s head. Since he was young, he had received many resources for training as compared to a normal Lan family’s disciple. Hence, all of those had given him the ability to breakthrough to the Xuan warrior level at just twenty five years old.
Unfortunately, he had yet to enjoyed that pleasure brought by this new Xuan warrior level before he lost his life.
It had been late afternoon when the Lan family received the news of Lan Kuang Sheng’s death.
“Boom!” In the hall, as the the head of Lan family this generation heard the news that his nephew had been killed, he was so angry that he broke the tea table into small pieces with just one punch.
“Ling family has despised us too much!” Lan family’s head squinted his eyes and gritted his teeth as he said; his eyes showed an intense murderous aura.
“Father, Sheng could not die in vain like that!” From below, a middle-aged man with such miserable expression begged. He was Lan Kuang Sheng’s father, Lan Ding San.
Lan Ding San only had one boy and one girl, and he had been extremely fond of the boy. Since young, he had been very strict to the boy with the hope of training him into the heir to take the head position in the future. Yet unexpectedly, the old man must bid farewell to his kid, thus he felt so furious inside that he decided to definitely kill Ling Xiao of Ling family to take revenge for his child.
Hatred had clouded his rationale. He didn’t know that by doing so he might bring about the extinction to their family.
The head of Lan family exhaled deeply and heavily. After he walked back and forth with hands behind his back, he turned to Lan Ding San: “Does Li family have any reaction?”
“Head of Li family hoped to come with you to seek justice from Ling Cang” Lan Ding San answered.
“Hmm, what benefits would that bring, if Ling Xiao was still some cripple then perhaps Ling Cang would sacrifice his family member for the big cause; yet currently Ling Xiao has been taken in by the immortal Ling master to be the disciple, heir to Ling family. Thus they would be determined not to deliver Ling Xiao”. Head of Lan family said coldly and then “Anyway this trip is the one I must go, otherwise they would suppose that us Lan family and the Li family are afraid of them.”
…
The news that Ling Xiao had fought a battle at the Aromatic Intoxication house had been spreading across the whole Jiangxi City. Every one knew that genius of Jiangxi City had indeed returned again and used the middle-level Xuan warrior’s ability to slash two middle-level and two upper-level Xuan soldiers of Li family, a new strong warrior of Lan family, Lan Kuang Sheng had been halved by his own sword, then Murong Gu who was also call Lone Wolf had also been killed. Then there was even a high class lady of Li family executed right in front of two deacons from Li family.
While Ling Xiao’s fame had been shaking the whole Jiangxi City: angry for a beautiful lady that he went against two large families. Such a decision wasn’t easy for anyone to make.
Until now at Jiangxi City, Ling Xiao had his own banner “Laughing Overlord”.
That day in Ling Xiao’s house he welcomed another guest, Luo Qing Shuang from the Luo family.
Luo Qing Shuang’s red satin embodied her graceful figure that was also sophisticated. The attractively busty body could make any man turn beastly. Then it was just a thin sword around her waist that acted like a poisonous snake to deter men.
Luo Qing Shuang’s spirit had indeed become much more beautiful and on her hair there was a beautiful red butterfly hair scarf which seemed to be extremely heart-moving. Her pupils appeared watery and seemed to emit such sharp light. Thus it didn’t have to state out loud that her training had certainly had great improvement.
The person who sat in the hall of Ling Xiao’s house was his mother, Meng Xi Yun. She looked at the pretty Luo Qing Shuang with a satisfying smile: “Luo Lady came to see our Xiao?”
Luo Qing Shuang was so embarrassed as she was stared at intensely by Meng Xi Yun: “I… I heard that he… Yesterday he had faced with some incidents, so I came here to visit a bit.”
Meng Xi Yun was kinda stunned, then she asked nervously “I… What happened to my son?”
As Ling Xiao saved Bai Yu Xi, he basically didn’t return home but went to the back of the training mountain. He didn’t mention about Bai Yu Xi’s incident to his mom, and then Bai Yu Xi also didn’t say a word to Meng Xi Yun after getting back. In fact, it wasn’t actually anything good, so it might only make Meng Xi Yun worried more.
Luo Qing Shuang was surprised: “Ah, don’t you know what have Ling Xiao done the day before?
Meng Xi Yun shook her head, with a worrying look then asked her little servant to call Bai Yu Xi over.
Bai Yu Xi rushed to the room as soon as she heard. Then as she saw Luo Qing Shuang in the room, there was a sense of discomfort rose, then she turned to Meng Xi Yun: “Mother, you’re looking for me?”
Meng Xi Yun went straight into the matter by asking “Yu Xi, be honest with me, what has the young master done the day before?”
Bai Yu Xi saw the seriousness of Meng Xi Yun so she bowed and hesitated a bit, before telling about the incidents disruptively.
“Mother, don’t blame the young master, he killed others to rescue me” Bai Yu Xi turned so emotional as she spoke; tears streaming down her eyes as she begged Meng Xi Yun. She was only concerned Meng Xi Yun would take blame on Ling Xiao.
After hearing so, Meng Xi Yun knew nothing happened to Ling Xiao then she exhaled before reaching out to hold Bai Yu Xi’s hand: “Sweet lady don’t cry, You didn’t do anything so how could I blame him. I was just worried if there’s anything that happened. From now on, don’t walk outside alone by yourself anymore, okay?
Bai Yu Xi ceased crying and nodded repeatedly.
“Auntie, could I see Ling Xiao for a moment?” Luo Qing Shuang asked while blushing.
Meng Xi Yun said right away “Of course, I’ve sent people to go call him back; it’s been more than half a month since I last saw him.”
“Big bro, big sis are you all here?” Then, a quick greeting came from outside.
“Third brother, you have arrived, what happened outside for you to be so hurried?” Meng Xi Yun quickly came out to ask.
