1719 Slander, they should not be killed

It's very cold and windy on the top of the mountain. A handsome young man like Ling Tian would choose to stand in a place facing the wind. In this way, his robes would flutter when the wind blew, and his original three points of elegance would become seven points.

Therefore, on Tianqiong Mountain, the best position was the one facing the wind. Those who were not of high status or came late did not have this privilege. They could only choose the places that others did not want. When the wind blew, not only could they not look elegant, but it was also a problem whether their hair could cover their faces.

Due to Ling Tian's status, he had no seat at Tianqiong Mountain, so he could only stand. However, the places where he stood were all good seats, which were reserved for people of reputation. Although these seats were not filled up early in previous years, it was the first time that they were still empty right before the start.

Everyone looked puzzled and looked around from time to time to see who was leaving such a good seat unattended.

Lord Ling looked at the five empty seats, showing a bit of dissatisfaction on the surface, but he was actually secretly happy in his heart.

Lord Ling didn't care whether the two seats in Xiling were vacant or not. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Princess Xiling came for Feng Qingchen. What satisfied him was that no one was sitting in the seats belonging to Dongling and Xuanxiao Palace.

Since no one was sitting in these three seats, it meant that the three people could not come, and his plan was successful.

Lord Ling glanced at Lord Xuanyue Palace without leaving a trace. Lord Xuanyue Palace was also feeling proud. When the two old foxes' eyes met, they both looked away with satisfaction.

When Li Xuanyue and Hongxiu saw this scene, their eyes turned red with sadness. Li Xuanyue felt even more regretful and hated himself for not stopping Xuan Shaoqi at the foot of the mountain.

The great event was accomplished, and Lord Ling was in a very good mood. Seeing that the sand in the hourglass was about to run out, Lord Ling stood up and announced loudly: "Master Wulin..."

In the middle of his words, Lord Ling suddenly stopped, his mouth wide open, unable to utter the rest of the words. He looked at the three people who were getting closer and closer in astonishment: How is it possible, how could they appear?

What happened?

Everyone looked up and saw two men and one woman walking with the wind. Their hair was flying in the wind, almost covering their faces, but everyone recognized who these three people were at a glance. After all, the temperament of these three people is rare in the world.

"That's good that you're here." Bu Jingyun and Bu Fan, who had been worried all the time, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince were safe and sound. They continued to keep a low profile and only planned to take action at the critical moment.

"Ninth Uncle, Palace Master Xuan?" Someone exclaimed, "Why did they arrive at this time? It shouldn't be this late."

"Yes, I also find it strange that the three of them haven't arrived yet. I heard that they went up the mountain with Young Master Ling. Logically, these three should have arrived earlier than Young Master Ling."

…

A group of people were talking to each other, but Ling Tian couldn't hear anything. His handsome face turned pale and blue, his hands were clenched tightly, and his lips were trembling: How is it possible? How is it possible? I can't die like this?

Feng Qingchen and the other two walked closer step by step, taking in everyone's expressions. Castle Ling Lord and Palace Xuanyue Lord were fine. Apart from being shocked at first glance, these two old foxes quickly returned to normal. However, Ling Tian and Li Xuanyue were a little worse. Until Feng Qingchen and the other two approached, they still had one in disbelief and the other with a complicated expression.

"What? Am I late?" The Ninth Prince stopped and cast a cold gaze at Lord Ling.

Lord Ling knew that the Ninth Prince must have known something. He was nervous but did not show it. He smiled and said, "Ninth Prince, you are joking. You came at the right time."

Lord Lingbao pointed to the hourglass behind him, and at that moment the last grain of sand fell...

"What a coincidence! Tianqiong Mountain is a good place." The Ninth Prince's words were full of sarcasm. The smile on Fort Ling's face was a little stiff. He could only laugh dryly twice and personally led the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen to sit down.

Looking at the dark face of the Ninth Prince, one could tell that he must have guessed something. Fort Ling secretly regretted not adding more manpower, allowing the Ninth Prince to escape. At the same time, he quickly calculated the chances of winning after the martial arts conference.

As long as they fight once, the two sides will become mortal enemies. In order to take the life of the Ninth Prince, Lord Lingbao will spare no effort at any cost.

Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince were not polite and directly treated Lord Ling as a servant to lead the way. Xuan Shaoqi followed slowly and politely behind him, glancing at Ling Tian on the side with a meaningful smile.

Ling Tian was stunned, his face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on his back. Lu Qing hurriedly stepped forward, blocking Xuan Shaoqi's sight by means of a salute, and secretly reminded Ling Tian that this happened in public.

Ling Tian came back to his senses and nodded to Lu Qing, indicating that he was fine. But he didn't dare to look directly at Xuan Shaoqi, so he turned his face away pretending not to care. However, this look made Ling Tian even more angry.

His maid Hongxiu actually looked at Xuan Shaoqi with an infatuated look on her face, her eyes full of excitement and admiration.

This woman...should have died long ago.

Ling Tian's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but Lu Qing saw it but did not remind Hong Xiu. If you don't seek death, you won't die. Hong Xiu asked for it, so she really can't blame her.

"It's so lively. Tianqiong Castle is really interesting. With Young Master Lingtian and Miss Hongxiu in Tianqiong Castle, I don't want to leave. There's something to watch every day." Feng Qingchen had a playful look on her face. She was sitting a little distance away from Lingtian. Although they were sitting in the same direction, she could still see the interaction between Lingtian and Hongxiu.

What's the meaning?

Everyone followed Feng Qingchen's gaze and caught the dissatisfaction on Ling Tian's face and Hong Xiu's infatuated look. Someone took the opportunity to joke, "The maid in your castle is really interesting."

"I heard that Young Master Ling raises his maid as a lady, and it's true." This was certainly not a compliment.

A maid is a maid. A woman who sold herself into slavery is treated as preciously as a young lady and compared with young ladies from wealthy families. How can a young lady from a noble family feel about this?

Lingbao Lord is indeed an old fox. Hearing this, his expression did not change. He just said, "Tian'er lost his mother when he was young. When I was young, I was busy with other things and had no time to take care of Tian'er. Tian'er was served by loyal servants. Tian'er was nostalgic and looked up to these people."

The words revealed that it was not Ling Tian who doted on the servants, but the servants who took advantage of the doting and became spoiled, and Ling Tian just couldn't bear to punish them because of the nostalgia. If it were any other time, this excuse would have been acceptable, but Feng Qingchen happened to meet him.

Feng Qingchen was ambushed by Tianqiong Castle and Xuanyue Palace and was covered in wounds. He was so angry that he had no place to vent, so how could he let Castle Master Ling go easily?

Half joking, half serious, Feng Qingchen told the story of Ling Tian condoning Hong Xiu's trouble in Dongling.

“A servant insulted a noble lady of the imperial court in public. This crime can be a big one or a small one. For the sake of Young Master Ling Tian, ​​I will not care about it. I will only ask Miss Hongxiu to apologize so that I can give an explanation to the noble ladies of Dongling. Otherwise, people will think that we noble ladies of Dongling are easy to bully.

I didn't expect that Master Ling Tian agreed, but Miss Hong Xiu was not satisfied. When she apologized, she complained against me, and almost said that I tortured and killed her in front of the Ninth Prince and the eldest son. In my opinion, Master Ling is really kind. This is not just a little bit of overestimation, but he can't control them at all. "Let's not talk about Ling Mo's matter. Just because Tianqiong Fort is related to Beiling, Tianqiong Fort should be destroyed. However, before it is destroyed, Feng Qingchen doesn't mind tarnishing Ling Tian's reputation.

Even the maids wouldn't listen to him. No matter how good Ling Tian's reputation was before, it would still make people doubt him.

Everyone connected the matter with what they had just seen, and after a brief thought they realized that although Feng Qingchen's words were exaggerated, they were also seven points true. At that moment, they saw that something was wrong with Ling Tian's expression.

Lu Qing secretly thought that something was wrong, and stood behind him with her head lowered and behaved in a proper manner. As for Hong Xiu? Her whole heart was on Xuan Shaoqi, and she didn't notice anything wrong.

Ling Tian was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He stood up and opened his mouth to explain, but he smelled a burst of flower fragrance...
