Chapter 2133: Chapter 2130: Langya Pavilion (Part 2)
"Are you talking about Situ Yufeng’s sister?" Lin Tian sneered, recalling that unruly and vicious woman. Though of the same age and similar family background, Ling Shuiyao in front of him was much better.
Ling Shuiyao, while unruly, knew her limits, could distinguish right from wrong, and knew when to stop. However, Situ Ruoling was without any bottom line when she got unruly. Lin Tian had even tied her up once, forming a grudge.
Of course, Ling Shuiyao also had conflicts with Situ Ruoling. With similar ages, Situ Ruoling was overshadowed by Ling Shuiyao both in appearance and strength, which naturally led to jealousy and resentment.
"If not her, then who? Forget it, let’s not talk about her; it affects the mood. Let’s talk about you instead. Lin Tian, are you participating in the martial arts competition?" Ling Shuiyao didn’t want to mention her and turned to ask Lin Tian.
Lin Tian shook his head with a smile, "I haven’t even received an invitation for the competition, so how could I compete?"
"Really? You’re not participating? Then who will hold down Ji Zimo? You may be not great, but you have some skills. Compared to him, I’d rather you win." Ling Shuiyao looked disappointed, and just as she finished speaking, a three-way intersection appeared ahead.
"Turn right!" She suddenly added these two words at the end, and only alerted him just before they reached the intersection.
But Lin Tian didn’t even brake, he lightly steered, and the car smoothly drove along the road. It was astonishingly stable, as if he already knew the route.
Ling Shuiyao was slightly surprised, wondering if Lin Tian had been to Langya Pavilion before. His driving was too steady.
Lin Tian seemed unfazed, continuing, "Even if you want me to win, it can’t be helped. Those old men definitely won’t allow me to compete. Actually, I’m not too concerned about it."
"You’re really strange, young people my age often are competitive, but you act more carefree than anyone." Ling Shuiyao said curiously.
"It’s not being carefree, just lacking interest." Lin Tian said lightly.
Lin Tian doesn’t look down on the Ancient Martial competition. At least it can stimulate the potential of the participants, allowing insights into higher realms. After the competition, many are sure to improve their strength.
"By the way, you’ve been following Zishan Pavilion Master for many years, you should understand her character. She wouldn’t hold such an Ancient Martial competition without reason, yet she’s doing it now. Is there a purpose behind it?" Lin Tian voiced a doubt.
Ling Shuiyao pouted, "You’re already here, why don’t you ask Aunt personally." Clearly, she wasn’t going to tell.
"Lin Tian, there’s a junction ahead. Do you want something exciting, otherwise, you won’t show your skills." Ling Shuiyao continued to provoke. As they approached the junction, she suddenly said, "Turn left."
Lin Tian swiftly turned the steering without slowing down, instead accelerating. Following, he lightly pulled the handbrake, quickly released it, stepped the clutch, lowering the gear, a string of operations made the rear wheels instantly lose grip, swerving sharply.
Several beauties were startled, but with two ancient martial artists present, they weren’t flustered. Lin Tian didn’t accelerate, instead he floored the gas pedal, then steering the wheel.
The entire car body, as if a soul walker, drifted across, within seconds, a beautiful drift, rounding the bend, shifting gear, accelerating, quickly moved away.
A cumbersome off-road vehicle, with Lin Tian’s drift driving, resembled a ballet from a fat man, yet very precise and harmonious.
Ling Shuiyao’s eyes sparkled, her small mouth wide open, only after a while did she say, "Are you a professional racer?"
"No, I’m just an ordinary student." Lin Tian said lightly.
"How is it possible! Your operation just now was so smooth, if racing techniques were graded, yours is already at the Innate Realm!" Ling Shuiyao exclaimed, filled with excitement.
Xiao Manxuan laughed, saying, "Shuiyao, don’t test his driving skills anymore. Back then, he defeated many playboys in Zhonghai City, even won a Bugatti from a Japanese, you can’t beat him."
Miss also smiled, besides women giving birth, there seemed nothing Lin Tian couldn’t do.
Ling Shuiyao felt the same, muttering, "Knowing ancient martial arts, refining medicine, racing, are you really only eighteen?"
"To be accurate, after the New Year, I’ll be nineteen soon." Lin Tian corrected her, chuckling.
"I’ll be nineteen soon too, my ancient martial skills aren’t as good as yours, nor can I refine medicine." Ling Shuiyao said, feeling quite unwilling.
"You look prettier than me at least." Lin Tian joked.
This comment garnered a collective eye roll from the beauties, as if saying, "You’re a man, how do you compare?"
However, Ling Shuiyao gave up on provoking, obediently giving directions. Lin Tian inwardly noted, getting this Ling family little princess to behave truly wasn’t easy.
Under Ling Shuiyao’s guidance, Lin Tian drove, gradually exiting Tu Zhong City, stopping at the foot of a mountain, more accurately a mountain range.
Tu Zhong City’s mountains are different from Jinghua City’s. Jinghua City’s mountains are big and tall, endless, like dragons, some ranges even span half of Huaxia, magnificently.
While Tu Zhong City’s mountains have peculiar peaks and beautiful stones, sheer steep cliffs, some encircled by streams, shrouded in mist, looking like an immortal realm. Plus, Tianlang Mountain being in the south, when trees in the north are still bare, the forests here are lush with green foliage.
"You ancient martial families and sects, occupy the best mountains and forests in Huaxia, rich in spiritual energy. Those wealthy people’s estates and villas are nothing compared to these families and sects."
Lin Tian stood in front of a large archway gate, slightly feeling emotional. The Yun family’s estate having springs, the Ou family’s estate situated on an island surrounded by the sea. Though he hasn’t been to the Li family’s residence, he’s certain it’s no less.
But compared with the Qingshuang Pavilion and the scene in front of him, the Ling family, it’s way outmatched. Not even in terms of millennia of heritage can they compare. The Xiao sisters and Yun Xiaotian nodded in agreement, deeply feeling the truth.
"Welcome to Langya Pavilion, come with me." Ling Shuiyao smiled slightly, gesturing to let them proceed.
They walked through the gates, stepping onto the ancient bluestone steps. At a corner of the steps, they suddenly felt a gust of water vapor, as there was a large lake to the right front.
The lake was shrouded in faint water mist, sparkling waves vaguely visible, as if immortals were stepping on the waves.
"That’s Vermilion Bird Lake. It’s said the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast, upon seeing Tianlang Mountain’s enchanting scenery, stayed here, thus it was named. Elders say the shape of Vermilion Bird Lake somewhat resembles the Vermilion Bird itself, the place where mountains and waters pour in resembling the bird’s head, and the outflowing place like the Vermilion Bird Feather, but I can’t really tell what it resembles."
Ling Shuiyao introduced to a few people, but her last sentence amused Lin Tian; it was straightforward enough.
The steps turn in direction, climbing along a mountain stream, crossing ancient stone bridges, mountain paths, gradually merging into the mountains and waters. The streams flow gently in the mountains, occasionally birds chirping joyously, the ethereal atmosphere washing away mundane dust.
Suddenly, a voice came from ahead, breaking this atmosphere, seemingly someone was arguing.
