Chapter 503: The Time is Not Right

Upon hearing Jiang Tiantian's words, Lv Liang hurriedly said loudly: "Please come in quickly."

"Auntie Wang, please brew a pot of Bi Luo Chun tea, and prepare a fruit platter and the nuts that Miss Jiang likes."

In order to avoid any impropriety and demonstrate his high moral character, Lv Liang turned on all the lights and had the servants stand nearby.

"Tiantian, do you have anything to say now?" he gently asked.

Jiang Tiantian was suddenly a little annoyed.

With such a beautiful night, couldn't they just spend some nice time together and have a good talk?

With so many bright lights on and several servants standing around, it felt very awkward.

She admired Lv Liang's gentle and refined demeanor, but sometimes she truly felt that he was too old-fashioned.

She bit her lip and suddenly grabbed Lv Liang's hand.

"Brother Lv Liang, the commercial alliance of the Seven Southern Provinces is about to be established. Do you want to be the leader?"

Lv Liang was a little ill at ease and reflexively pushed Jiang Tiantian's hand away, saying, "Tiantian, why do you say that?"

"Don't you know that I have never been interested in these worldly titles and benefits?"

"I understand now. Did your father send you to test me?"

"If he wants to be the leader, I do have one vote."

Jiang Tiantian's eyes lit up. "Brother Lv Liang, can you support my father?"

"My father said that as long as he becomes the leader, then-"

She suddenly became shy and blushed, unable to continue.

Lv Liang smiled. "Tiantian, what did your father say?"

Jiang Tiantian bit her lip and whispered, "He said he doesn't really care about the leader position."

"However, I'm his only daughter. For my sake, if he really becomes the leader, then this leader position will be my dowry-"

"Brother Lv Liang, what do you think my father means?" She pretended not to understand, looking at Lv Liang with hopeful eyes.

Lv Liang smiled. "The meaning is simple. Whoever marries you not only gains a beautiful wife, but also inherits the leader position."

Jiang Tiantian whispered, "So do you want to inherit the leader position?"

This was already a very overt confession.

The servants nearby were anxious for Lv Liang. Such a good girl was hard to find! This young master's ethics were so lofty as to be prudish.

"Tiantian, let's not talk about this for now."

"Moreover, just my one vote is not enough for your father to become the leader."

"Brother Lv Liang, don't worry!" Jiang Tiantian hurriedly said.

"My father has already obtained Chen Teng's support. I heard them say that he seems to have secured the votes of two other provinces as well."

"Now, there is one variable - a man named Qin Tian. But Chen Teng has already represented my father to negotiate with Qin Tian."

"Brother Lv Liang, with your vote added, my father will definitely be elected leader!"

A strange look flashed across Lv Liang's eyes.

"The Chen family is very powerful. With their support, your father will surely be elected leader smoothly."

"Tiantian, don't worry. I absolutely won't disappoint you."

"So you've agreed?"

"Brother Lv Liang, thank you!"

Jiang Tiantian was so excited that she suddenly moved close to Lv Liang and gave him a fleeting peck on the cheek.

"Brother Lv Liang, I won't disappoint you either!" She said and fled away with a red face.

"Congratulations Young Master!"

"A girl as good as Miss Jiang is truly rare."

"What's more important is that her devotion to the Young Master is so moving that even we feel it."

The servants smiled and offered congratulations.

Lv Liang was a little embarrassed and waved his hand. "You've worked hard.

"It's getting late, go rest."

After the servants left, Lv Liang turned off the lights. In the darkness, his face regained its cold look.

His eyes were like two bottomless pits, unfathomable.

"Young Master, Jiang Shao has made his move."

"He and the Chen family have sent Blind Man and Three-Eyed King to deal with Qin Tian."

"If Qin Tian can't withstand it and goes over to their side, won't the situation become unfavorable for us?"

The bronze man silently appeared, asking worriedly.

Lv Liang coldly laughed. "Do you know Qin Tian's true identity?"

The bronze man was startled. "Isn't he just a martial artist?"

"He was able to gain An Guo and the Zhao family of Flitz's support because he helped them quell rebellions."

Lv Liang sneered.

"Just a martial artist? If Qin Tian really was, he wouldn't even be worthy of being my opponent."

"Bronze man, this time, we will all meet our matches!"

The bronze man was clearly somewhat dissatisfied. In a low voice he said, "Young Master, just give the order and I am willing to go meet this Qin Tian!"

"I don't believe he could defeat me!"

Lv Liang sneered. "Some things don't need to be hastily verified."

"This grand game has begun. Let's just watch the changes unfold."

"Go tell Yang Yuanging that the Jiang and Chen families have allied. Next, it's time for him to formally step in."

"Yes!"

The bronze man turned to leave.

"Right-" Lv Liang seemed to think of something, with a complex expression.

He hesitated, then said in a low voice, "Contact the airline and tell them to pay attention to the passenger list from Australia recently."

The bronze man was startled, then understood and said softly, "Is the young miss coming back?"

Lv Liang headed towards the bedroom.

His whole person blended into the darkness and his expression could not be seen.

"Tell them, upon seeing the young miss's name, inform me immediately."

"Yes!" The bronze man bowed again and swiftly left.

Tonight was destined to be an unsettled night. The news that the Seven Southern Provinces would form a commercial alliance had just been announced this morning.

Starting tomorrow for the next ten days would be the official scramble and contest for votes.

Tonight was the prelude for all parties to adjust their strategies and lay out their plans.

In the Yang family, Yang Yuanging entered an underground cellar.

The cellar was at least several hundred square meters with granite reinforced walls all around.

There were no modern lights, only four torches blazing on the four corners.

In the middle of the stone platform sat a person cross-legged. His hands and feet were actually bound by thick iron chains.

He had been here for who knows how long. His whole body was deathly pale, like a whitehaired zombie.

"The Yang family head has personally come. Is it time to kill Qin Tian?" Seeing Yang Yuanging, he said indifferently.

Bai Sha, Shadow's elder brother, was also the strongest advanced cultivator secretly raised by the Yang family.

Previously, Yang Yuanging had his son Yang Kun relay the news of Shadow's death by Qin Tian's hands to Bai Sha.

He told Bai Sha but did not allow him to seek vengeance, precisely to accumulate Bai Sha's wrath.

Only this way was there a possibility to thunderously destroy Qin Tian in one strike.

As for the iron chains on Bai Sha, he had actively asked for them to lock his heart and prevent him from impulsively rushing out halfway through the arduous cultivation.

In fact, having the extra chains was equal to overload training and greatly beneficial for improving his skills.

Although he was a cultivator raised by them, each time Yang Yuanging saw Bai Sha, he felt a little chill down his spine.

Sometimes, he truly did not understand why these martial artists desperately cultivated and improved themselves.

No matter how powerful their cultivation, in the end weren't they still selling their skills for him and others with money?

What a foolish bunch.

"It's not yet time to kill Qin Tian."

"However, the game board has been set up."

"Brother Bai, I want you to go pay Qin Tian a visit tomorrow bringing generous gifts on my behalf." He sinisterly laughed.
