Chapter 5350: Friends who share life and death
Teng Yun and the others were slightly surprised when they saw Teng Yu reveal the Teng family’s Secret so easily. However, their expressions quickly returned to normal, and no one said anything.
“Teng Yu, you shouldn’t have told me this.” Ling Chuxi said with a bitter smile.
If such a secret were to fall into the ears of someone with ulterior motives, it could very likely become the Teng family’s most fatal weakness. Teng Yu really should not have told her, and moreover, she had done so so casually and without any precautions. From her previous understanding of Teng Yu, although this girl had a straightforward personality, she was not a brainless person. How could she be so careless?
“In fact, it’s nothing. You and we are friends who have gone through life and death together. Our lives were saved by you, so it doesn’t matter if I tell you. Besides, if you really want to harm the Teng family, it’ll be the same whether I say it or not. ” Teng Yu said disapprovingly.
Only then did Ling Chuxi understand that the reason why Teng Yu was not wary of her at all was entirely because of his trust in her. His trust in their friends.h.i.+p was also his trust in her strength.
In her opinion, with their friends.h.i.+p of going through life and death together, Ling Chuxi would definitely not harm the Teng family. If she really wanted to harm the Teng family, with her talent and strength, the result would be the same whether she knew this secret or not, so there was no need to be on guard.
Teng Yun and the others clearly understood this as well, so after a brief moment of surprise, they quickly recovered and didn’t even bother to say a word to her. In fact, they had the same mentality as Teng Yu.
It turned out that they had so much trust in her. Although her interaction with Teng Yun and the others was not as telepathic as with LAN Xinyu and the others, this trust still made Ling Chuxi deeply moved.
Teng Yu didn’t know that their unreserved trust in Ling Chuxi and a few casual words would bring so many benefits to the Teng family.
The reason why Ling Chuxi was able to comprehend the sword traversing nine provinces through the Dragon trapping sword array was because she felt that the sword array had some subtle connections with the heaven’s path sword technique of the nine provinces mountain and river diagram. Although they were not exactly the same, if it was the other way around, it should be possible to use her heaven’s path sword technique to perfect the Dragon trapping sword array.
However, she was only guessing and wasn’t sure yet, so she didn’t dare to be too sure.
Seeing that qus.h.i.+ de was dissatisfied with Ling Chuxi and was looking for an excuse to find fault with her, Teng Yi and the others did not dare to ask her to refine any more weapons. However, they did not leave and instead gathered around her, lowering their voices to chat with her.
Of course, Ling Chuxi had nothing much to chat about with these children. However, this kind of scene made her feel as if she had found her brothers and sisters gathered together in a happy and harmonious place. It was an unusually warm feeling. Talking and laughing with the group of children made her feel even closer. On the other hand, Teng Yu and the others were left to the side.
If one didn’t know better, they would think that she was the big sister of the Teng family and that Teng Yu and the others were guests who had been invited back.
Seeing the kind and adoring gazes of the Teng family’s juniors, qus.h.i.+ de felt even more displeased. However, no matter how displeased he was, he was too embarra.s.sed to lose his temper at a group of brats. He snorted coldly and continued walking forward.
“The guest hall is right in front. The two masters must be tired from the journey, so please have a few cups of fragrant tea and rest for a while.” When they arrived at the guest hall, Teng Mingyuan said to the two of them.
“I’m indeed a little tired. Why don’t I go back to my room and rest first?” Ling Chuxi declined as she had no interest in staying with qus.h.i.+ de and observing his expression. This old man who had made a mistake himself was really narrow-minded.
