Xiao YouHan’s face turned red and she turned shy. However, she quickly lifted her head up and her face returned back to her chilly self, “That’s right! The First Pavilion Head roams unhindered in the world and is an unparalleled existence in the world. How can he belong to YouHan alone? There are numerous individuals who have such a hero in their hearts! Is it wrong for me to admire such an expert?!”

“I see!” Ling Tian smiled, “Miss, I have seen the First Pavilion Head who you were talking about before. It’s true! I have even worked together with the First Pavilion before. From the few assassination missions that I arranged, it should be easy to tell that I have worked with the First Pavilion Head before. Ah ah… actually, it isn’t too surprising for the member of a Great Family to meet the First Pavilion Head…”

He then paused with a smile on his face which didn’t seem like a smile. Xiao YouHan’s eyes lit up immediately and she dashed over losing all composure, “Really? Have you seen him before? How does he look like? He must be very handsome right? How tall is he? Is his face always frosty and expressionless? Does he have a dense and sharp killing intent all over him? Is he like an arrogant lotus resting at the peak of an ice mountain? He shouldn’t be too young anymore and it would be best if he isn’t more than 40…”

“Cough cough cough…” Ling Jian began coughing pathetically.

Xiao YouHan’s gaze swept past Ling Jian before she said to Ling Tian, “Young noble Ling Tian, how can your subordinate be so rude?!”

“Err… errr… I will definitely teach him a good lesson.” Ling Tian was caught off guard by the series of questions and his sides were already aching from holding in his laughter. “I didn’t notice all of these things but the First Pavilion Head is probably someone pleasing to the eye. He has quite the character and I don’t think that he is even thirty.”

Nonsense, if he wasn’t pleasing to the eye, why would I bother keeping him beside me for ten plus years to groom? He is indeed less than thirty years and probably no more than one to two years older than young noble Ling Tian. It seems like he is even less than 20!

However, Ling Tian finally understood where this lass’ frosty expression came from. It turns out that she heard about the First Pavilion Head’s frosty personality and wanted to mimic him…

Ling Tian wasn’t the only one who guessed this and Ling Chen, Li Xue, and Xiao FengYang had a look of understanding on their faces. No wonder this lass had such a huge change in her personality a few years back! To think that the family assumed that Above Heavens had tortured her…

This celebrity chaser was truly too crazy! Ling Chen winked at Ling Jian and Ling Jian’s face flushed completely red.

“Not even thirty? Wouldn’t that mean that he is extremely young?” Xiao YouHan’s eyes glimmered as though she was shot by cupid’s arrow. “Really? Is he really so young???”

“I am certain about this! That First Pavilion Head is definitely less than thirty and may not even be twenty. Furthermore, he is still unmarried,” Ling Tian said solemnly before adding on, “Furthermore, I have never seen any ladies appear by his side before!”

“Really?!” Xiao YouHan had the urge to jump up in excitement. “This is great! Hmph! I knew it! A hero like him would not have ordinary ladies in his eyes!”

Xiao YouHan had already gone into complete fan-girl mode and completely didn’t notice that Ling Tian’s words were pretty incoherent.

“That’s right, only a beauty like Miss would be a match for someone like the First Pavilion Head.” Ling Tian said with sincerity.

Xiao YouHan immediately squirmed with awkwardness and said expectantly, “I… I also…” All of a sudden, her eyes lit up with a bright glow and she pleaded, “Young noble Ling, I wonder if you are able to give me the opportunity to meet him once? I really want to meet this amazing talent!”

Ling Tian immediately frowned with frustration in his eyes as though he was extremely troubled, “This…”

“Young noble Ling definitely has an idea, hehe.” Xiao YouHan took up the teapot and began filling up Ling Tian’s teacup with an expectant gaze.

Ling Tian drank the cup of tea calmly and the moment he placed the cup back on the table, Xiao YouHan quickly filled it up again as though she was afraid that she wasn’t taking care of Ling Tian properly.

Ling Tian frowned, “It is difficult to talk to that person…”

Ling Jian was speechless. While it isn’t easy for others to talk to me, for young noble…

Xiao YouHan almost burst out into tears.

Seeing that Ling Tian was going a little too far, both Ling Chen and Li Xue stretched their hands out to Ling Tian’s waist and were about to pinch down with all their strength.

Ling Tian pretended as though an idea came to his mind and quickly changed his tone, “… however, it isn’t as though there isn’t a way at all. Since we are all of the same family, I shall just ignore this face of mine and help Miss with this matter! Besides, I believe that the First Pavilion Head will like someone as adorable as Miss.”

“Thank you young noble Ling, thank you young noble Ling. You are really a good person!” Xiao YouHan was filled with boundless joy and looked as though her long-standing wish was finally fulfilled.

“However…” Ling Tian said with difficulty.

“However what?”

“However, it is truly difficult for this brother of mine to assassinate Meng FanYun… Since Miss is extremely familiar with Above Heavens, I wonder if… you can give us some aid?” Ling Tian said with embarrassment.

“Cough… this…” Xiao YouHan quickly came to a conclusion, “No problem! He is carrying out this mission for my Xiao Family and it is only right for me to help him! You can call me along when you are about to take action. Mmm… as long as he doesn’t die on the spot, I will have a way to save him!”

Ling Jian rolled his eyes. Before even starting the mission, this young Miss is already thinking of how to save me… doesn’t she have too little confidence in her idol?

“If that’s the case… Thanks! I will definitely try my best to have the First Pavilion Head repay your gratitude!” Ling Tian said with gratitude.

“It’s nothing much.” Xiao YouHan said in embarrassment before asking excitedly, “Then… when will young noble Ling allow me to…” As though she thought of something, her face flushed completely red.

“When this matter is over, I will immediately contact that First Pavilion Head.” Ling Tian purposefully emphasized the words ‘First Pavilion Head’ and said with a righteous tone, “Miss should know that I, Ling Tian, will never go back on my words.”

“That’s… of course.” Xiao YouHan seemed to have something else to say but decided to remain silent.

“Rest assured Miss,” Ling Tian promised, “I am good friends with that First Pavilion Head and he treats my opinion with great importance. If I say anything, he will definitely consider it carefully. Even if I want to be a matchmaker, I believe that he will not reject me. I will definitely put in a few good words for Miss.”

“Really?” Xiao YouHan cried out with excitement and began her imagination, “If… if… it would be great…” She then suddenly lowered her head with her entire face red. At the same time, she did not forget to roll her eyes at Ling Jian. In order to see my idol, I can only let you off with some benefits! Hmph!

By the side, Ling Jian was completely helpless and did not know where to hide his face…

“WAHAHAHA… this is too hilarious! She is too cute!” Ling Tian burst out into laughter.

“He is so young? Do you really mean that he is still so young? He he he… he is still a young man??? This is great! Hmph, I knew that a hero like him will not place ordinary ladies in his sight!” Ling Chen mimicked Xiao YouHan’s voice and teased Ling Jian.

“Have you seen him before? How does he look like? He must be very handsome right? How tall is he? Is his face always frosty and expressionless? Does he have a dense and sharp killing intent all over him? Is he like an arrogant lotus resting at the peak of an ice mountain? Is he… is he…” Li Xue burst out into laughter.

“You two young Misses, I was wrong, please let me off…” Ling Jian almost wanted to find a hole to hide in.

“This is the first time I realized that Ah Jian is an expert at picking up girls.” Ling Tian and the others were naturally back in their own tent and they were speaking in hushed voices, “How magnificent! Without even saying a word, you already captured the beauty’s heart. You are indeed the best example for lechers.”

“It is a pity that this lecher does not know how to date!” Li Xue clicked her tongue and said, “Ling Jian, you are truly too useless. You actually treated her as your heart demon and even said that you wanted to kill her. Hahahaha… I am going to die from laughter.”

The moment these words were said, all three of them burst out into laughter again.

A long while later, Ling Tian finally managed to stop himself from laughing, “Ah Jian, I have already given you the chance. It is up to you to grasp it.”

Ling Jian rubbed his head and said, “Young noble, you mean to say that… I really… like her? It isn’t my heart demon making trouble?”

Ling Tian let out a long sigh and covered his face.

“Will your heart race when you see her?”

“Err… yes.”

“Do you think that she is extremely pretty?”

“Err… yes.”

“Do you have the urge to hug her when you see her?”

“Err… yes… a little.”

“Do you really want to become closer to her?”

“Err… yes.”

“If there is someone who wants to bully her, beat her, or kill her, what will you do?”

“Who dares to?!” Ling Jian roared with killing intent exploding, “I will dice the person into shreds!”

“If she marries someone else and sleeps with someone in the same bed…”

“Impossible!” Before Ling Tian could even finish, Ling Jian’s eyes turned red, “She is mine!”

“Scram!”

“Ah!”

“Scram! Scram scram scram!”

“Why?”

“After saying so much, let me ask you, is she your heart demon or do you like her?”

“Err… I think that I like her…”

“Then why aren’t you going to scram?”

……

Ling Jian left pathetically.

In the tent, Ling Chen and Li Xue were holding on to their stomachs as they panted heavily. “He is truly too… too amazing.” Li Xue laughed to the point tears flowed out of her eyes as she rolled on the bed without the slightest appearance of a lady.

Ling Tian chuckled and pounced on the two ladies like a starving wolf, pinning the two of them under his body.

“AH!! Lecher!”

“Scram hoodlum!”

…

“How about it? Did you overestimate yourself and receive a scolding?” Just when Ling Jian left the tent, a cold face looked at him with a tinge of disdain and delight in his misfortune. Xiao YouHan had returned to the cold appearance that she had picked up from the First Pavilion Head.
