Chapter Eighteen: The Coquettish Girl

  "After all, our Ling family is too weak, otherwise, how could we be so passive!"

  Leaving the council chamber, Ling Qingyan walked slowly towards the gate, and after the discussion in the council chamber just now, Ling Qingyan's mood had been somewhat low.

  In the previous life, in the city where his own forces were located, he couldn't be said to have the power to summon the wind and rain, or be all-powerful.

  At least no one dares to ride roughshod over me!

  Of course, Ling Qingyan also knew that the world he was in this life was completely different from the previous one. It was impossible to dominate a region simply by having more people and being cruel like in his previous life!

  In this world, if you want to be revered by others, there is no other way but to rely on that supreme martial power!

  "The boat goes straight to the bridgehead! I hope that the checks and balances between those in power can be maintained until they find out which family the 'Yong Huang Dian' is in..."

  Moyuncheng, although due to the arrival of several upper forces, the local three families were frightened, but it did not affect the lives of ordinary people at all.

  "If I were born into an ordinary family in this life, would I have lived a plain and ordinary life..."

  Looking at the busy figures around the street, Ling Qingyan had thought so more than once.

  "I don't know whose daughter she is, but she's so lovely, what a pity that she'll be ruined by that scoundrel from the Yuan family."

  Suddenly, a woman's voice came from beside her ear.

  Ling Qing hastily walked a few steps forward and saw a large crowd of people gathered at the corner of the intersection ahead, pointing and discussing.

  Ling Qing furrowed her brow slightly and walked forward a few steps, squeezing through the crowd.

  "Who's there! Squeeze what—"

  A young man saw someone squeezing him and was about to shout out in anger, but when he turned his head to see who it was, he swallowed his words.

  The locals of Moyuncheng naturally recognized Ling Qingyan, the young master of the Ling family!

  "Miss, you really don't want to come to my home as a guest?"

  Just squeezing into the crowd, a voice that made Ling Qingyan extremely disgusted and familiar came over.

  Ling Qingyan took one glance and saw a slender, blue-clad young girl standing in the courtyard, staring fiercely at Young Master Yuen Shi of the Yuen family!

  Ling Qing sighed secretly in her heart. This Second Young Master of the Yuan family was still as stubborn and unchanging, with no memory at all!

  "You said you wouldn't go and now you're not going, how rude of you. If you continue to be unreasonable, don't blame me for being impolite..."

  Liu Yanran angrily stared at the young man in front of her with a sly and cunning look, who was obviously not a good person at first glance.

  If it weren't for Shibo saying that she shouldn't stir up trouble in Moyun City during this period of time, she would have kicked him with one leg a long time ago.

  As the proud master of the Tianjian Sect's most beloved and cherished closed-door disciple, how could she have ever been so humiliated?

  "Smelly uncle, rotten uncle!"

  At this moment, Liu Yanran could only scold her master's senior sister with all the swear words she knew in her heart.

  "Huh?"

  Ling Qingyan looked at the girl in the arena, and his eyes lit up involuntarily. In this life, he had never seen such a lively and charming girl before, although there were many girls like her in his previous life.

  "You're welcome, what's there to be polite about?"

  Only then did Yuan Shizi, the second young master of the Yuan family, hear Liu Yanran's words and become even bolder, scanning her entire body with his eyes, almost drooling.

  He was originally humiliated by the young master of the Ling family a few days ago, and his mood has been very depressed ever since. He has been staying at home these days, venting his anger by smashing household furniture.

  Today I originally intended to come out and relax, but unexpectedly encountered such a high-quality product. Yuan's mind suddenly had an idea, and the gloom in his heart was swept away. At this time, he thought about how to deceive the little girl in front of him into going home with him.

  "Haha! Young Master Yuan, you're getting more and more accomplished, now you're even boldly abducting civilians on the street..."

  Just as Yuan Shi was still thinking about how to trick the little girl in front of him into going home, the voice that had been appearing in his nightmares over the past few days suddenly came from beside him.

  Whoosh!

  Yuan Shi's face suddenly changed and became extremely pale!

  With difficulty, Yuan Shi's voice was weak and accompanied by a hint of fear, "Ling Qingyan, don't talk nonsense! I just wanted to invite this young lady home as a guest."

  "Master Ling!"

  Yuan Shi's bodyguard, Yuan Yong, slightly bowed to Ling Qingyan. He was still grateful for Ling Qingyan's mercy that day.

  "Everyone disperse!"

  Ling Qingyan looked at the crowd surrounding him and waved his hand.

  The Ling family still has a good impression in the hearts of the people of Moyuncheng, especially Ling Qingyan, the young master of the Ling family. He doesn't put on airs as a young master outside and often lends a helping hand to some people in need without asking for anything in return.

  Before long, the crowd had dispersed. Only Ling Qingyan, the master and servant of the Yuan family, and the girl were left.

  "Ling Qingyan? Young Master Ling?"

  Liu Yanran looked at Ling Qingwan's slightly immature face and couldn't help but wonder, "He should be the young master of the Ling family in Moyun City! But why does this Young Master Yuan seem to be afraid of him? This Young Master Yuan looks like he's at least six or seven years older than him?"

  For a moment, Liu Yanran was filled with curiosity towards the boy in front of her who looked younger than herself by several years.

  "What? Yuan Shi, are you still thinking of inviting this young lady home as a guest?"

  Ling Qing's face wore a smile as he looked at Yuan Shi, but the cold glint in his eyes completely betrayed the expression on his face.

  "Ling Qingyan, you......you......"

  "Get out of here!"

  Ling Qing's eyes widened suddenly, and she opened her mouth to scold, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes at the same time!

  For people like this, Ling Qingyan has always been completely dismissive. He is not afraid that the other party will secretly make trouble for him, after all, in Moyun City, the Yuan family does not dare to easily provoke the Ling family.

  Yuan Shi's figure disappeared into the distance with Yuan Yong's support, her back still stiff. Ling Qingyan smiled faintly and followed suit, taking a step forward.

  "After this, no one else from your family is allowed to run around randomly."

  Ling Qing said this before leaving, obviously referring to that lovely girl.

  "Hey! Qingyan, little brother, wait!"

  Liu Yanran saw the boy who had just helped her was about to leave, and she quickly ran up to him. For the past two days, she had been wandering around the city alone, feeling very bored. Now that she had finally met a boy who interested her and was about the same age as herself, she was not willing to let him go easily!

  "Little brother?"

  Ling Qing turned his head and looked at the lively girl in front of him, full of energy, and couldn't help but be stunned. When did he become her younger brother?

  "Of course," the girl heard Ling Qingyan's confusion, stretched out her right hand and curled up the cyan silk that fell on her right shoulder, and said naturally: "One look and you can tell I'm older than you, so you're my younger brother..."

  Since she was a child, she has been taken as a disciple by the master of the Tianjian Sect and has spent almost all her life in the sect. The young girl who rarely goes out naturally doesn't know how abrupt her behavior is.

  Ling Qing was shocked and wondered if there was still such a reason in this world?

  However, from the girl's tone, Ling Qingyan also sensed her stubbornness, and turned back to head forward again, quickening his pace unintentionally.

  "Hey younger brother, where are you going? Wait for me!"
