Chapter 447 So Dense
Each of them could not help but swallow hard, never having once thought that this person they had met in the past might have great background and power. Although Ling Tian might look like just another young man, he still couldn\'t help but stand out with his sheer presence alone.
And Ling Tian stood there, his expression calm as water, unperturbed even though they were talking about him.
Neither arrogant nor humble, Ling Tian truly had a unique personality that one wouldn\'t imagine.
"Looks like we\'ll have to do something about him..." Zhang Xinya whispered with a hint of pout on her face as she watched Ling Tian. If they didn\'t do something, there would be females waiting for the moment to pounce on this man once he showed himself.
"Let him wear a mask every time he goes out." Long Yuyin nodded beside her while the other women let out low giggles.
Ling Tian just shook his head with a small smile as he listened to the conversation of these women of his.
Jiu Ming was amused to see the jealousy and worries of these women, she could see that these women had a good heart and really loved Ling Tian. Ling Tian\'s look and smile evidenced that.
But mostly she felt happy to see that smile and happiness in Ling Tian when she looked and listened to these women. It was the first time Jiu Ming observed that kind of brightness in him. After all, although Ling Tian was very happy with his disciples who were his family and them too, he never really had that kind of love that developed between a man and a woman.
The first time he had an affair when he was very young and had not matured, but fate separated them and struck Ling Tian deeply when he lost them. The second time, Ling Tian let down his guard and began to have a slight interest in a woman, but the latter wanted to plot against Ling Tian and his female disciples, so in the end he himself killed her along with her accomplices for wanting to harm his family.
Now, it seemed that this was the third chance and Ling Tian finally found his life female companions.
Jiu Ming was happy for Ling Tian. She could imagine the happiness that would hit her husband once they met again and know that she was still alive and Ling Tian would be married.
"You are in for a great battle when we return to the Immortal World." Jiu Ming dropped one last bombshell as she looked at the five women and said, "If the females find out about you and find your identities, you might even be challenged by all of them to compete and prove that they are better than you. There was even once a tournament where hundreds and thousands of women participated to win the chance to meet Ling Tian..."
Zhang Xinya and Long Yuyin looked dumbfoundedly at Jiu Ming before gritting their teeth and glaring at Ling Tian. Tang Wanying let out a small teasing chuckle, but everyone could see that her gaze also matched Zhang Xinya and Long Yuyin\'s. Mu Shuiruo blinked several times before also looking at Ling Tian with a strange look. Yun Mengxin gently raised her eyebrow before grabbing onto the spiritual connection between her and Ling Tian and began to search through his memories again.
Ling Tian also couldn\'t help but be a little surprised before saying with a frown, "That\'s pure nonsense, h-how come I don\'t know about that?"
A women\'s tournament in order to meet him?
Ling Tian was aware that there were countless people who wanted to meet him, whether it was for his power, strength or prestige, but he never knew about women who would \'fight\' to meet him. At first there would be many women wanting to meet him and sending letters and invitations, but then they inexplicably disappeared for a while. Yes, he knew about his own charm and that he could attract women with his appearance, but he never worried about that and only aimed for the top of cultivation so that he would have a strength and protect his own family.
But looking into Jiu Ming\'s eyes, Ling Tian saw that she wasn\'t lying, so he began to doubt if there were really things that he even didn\'t know about despite his status and identity.
"Yu\'er and Yan\'er." Jiu Ming noticed the doubts in Ling Tian and said two names.
Yu\'er and Yan\'er?
Ling Tian furrowed his brow even more when Jiu Ming mentioned his two female disciples. Clearly they had always been good girls and never troubled Ling Tian in what they were doing. Could they have been the ones who organized that tournament? But if it wasn\'t, so what did they have to do with it according to Jiu Ming?
"It seems that our assumptions are true..." Tang Wanying spoke softly and Mu Shuiruo beside her even nodded with a small smile.
Jiu Ming saw that Ling Tian was still thinking and she shook her head inwardly. She was clearly aware of those two women\'s feelings, but apparently Ling Tian still wasn\'t. Even his women were more perceptive just by hearing their names!
"Both girls were also annoyed to see all those females wanting to get close to you that in the end they arranged on the surface a tournament to keep them all in stripes in which they both said that those who won and showed a good performance could meet you." Jiu Ming raised her hand to her mouth as she laughed and added, "Although somehow both girls made those battles and everything about the tournament drag on and so the result would be that none of those women would ever pile up and bother you again in all this time. Especially since they didn\'t want any of them to come near you..." Jiu Ming remarked the last words as she tried to express another meaning to Ling Tian.
Ling Tian\'s frown deepened further for a few seconds before he sighed, "It seems like those girls really have done a lot of things that I didn\'t know about..." But his eyes shone mysteriously for a moment that even Yun Mengxin couldn\'t see through, as if he wouldn\'t let anyone be able to observe his thoughts.
However, Long Yuyin and Zhang Xinya\'s pouting grew larger.
Ling Tian is so dense!
Although nothing more was said, most could grasp the meaning of Jiu Ming\'s last sentence.
It seemed that there were actually more women with feelings towards Ling Tian...
Ling Tian noticed the various kinds of looks he was receiving, but he didn\'t care. Lan Yin and Qing Sha on his lap were eating various kinds of sweets that they took out of their storage rings while happily leaning on Ling Tian and not caring about the topics they discussed.
"My brother would be very happy if he knew you were alive." Ling Tian changed the subject and mentioned Jiu Ming\'s husband.
Jiu Ming\'s eyes clouded over and an obvious longing and nostalgia filled her gaze. The love she has for her husband could really be seen in her gaze.
"H-how is he? A-and my sisters?" For the first time, Jiu Ming couldn\'t stop her voice from trembling as she asked about her husband.
Ling Tian looked at her for several seconds before saying, "He was deeply depressed all this time. He was devastated about losing you. Hanyan and the others were also sad and desolate. Although Yingshi and I were encouraging them many times, Chu Kang still couldn\'t get over it. In the end I told him and your sisters to take a trip to a place I know so that they could find some peace and comfort in themselves. I intended to go and see how they were all doing after more than 10 years had passed."
The sadness in Jiu Ming could be noticed. Her tears could not help but show as she thought of the pain her husband and sisters suffered all this time.
Chu Feng watched his mother\'s expression and realized her deep feelings for his father. He took her hand and hugged her, trying to comfort his mother.
Jiu Ming smiled at her son\'s intention and hugged him too.
Ling Tian\'s eyes rested on his beloved women, looking at them with affection and love. He would do everything he could to protect them so as not to lose them. He would not know how he could go on if anything happened to them.
But those eyes easily captivated and destroyed all kinds of barriers and layers in the hearts of the five women. Zhang Xinya and Long Yuyin\'s pouts faded away and they stopped thinking of ways to keep the women away from him or at least hide his handsome face and they smiled in happiness when they saw his look of love.
It seemed that in Ling Tian\'s gaze there was a deep love immeasurable love. They could even feel that there was something else in his gaze that they had not seen before, an intense and mysterious feeling that completely captivated them.
Ling Tian blinked once more and lifted the corner of his lips with a trace of mischief.
The women emerged from that state and looked intently at Ling Tian as they saw that he pierced through their defenses and had caught them with ease. Yet their hearts were beating intensely as if the love inside them for Ling Tian kept growing and growing constantly without end.
Hao Zhentian and his brothers caught this and looked at each other, showing happy expressions for their Master. It seemed that Ling Tian had finally found his companions after surpassing that tragedy...
"By the way, how is it that you are on the lower plane?" Jiu Ming took a deep breath before asking. She was still alive, so she would undoubtedly be able to reunite with her husband and sisters again.
"Did you manage to completely break through the void and descend? Or was it by chance that you fell?" Jiu Ming frowned as she thought about Ling Tian\'s chances of having descended to the lower planes.
Even a Supreme couldn\'t easily tear through space to be able to travel in the void. Much less could they descend to the lower planes. Heavenly Law prevented anyone from being able to descend and, if anyone succeeded, they would be extremely repressed to the point where they could be expelled and returned back to their former place.
Looking at Ling Tian\'s state, it should have been because of special circumstances...
Ling Tian looked at Jiu Ming again and only said two names.
"Han Lushuo and Zhin Huizhen."
