The Knockout
Editor: Rainystars
The moment Ling Tian Jiao revealed that he was behind Ling Tian Nan’s rise, Ling Xian had thought of a trap.
Of course, the term ‘trap’ was not entirely accurate, better to be replaced with ‘strategy’.
According to his current status, both inside and outside of the Ling Clan, Ling Xian’s presence was more than enough to persuade Ling Tian Nan to hand over his daughter in marriage. However, Ling Xian was Ling Hu’s brother so Ling Xian would be using his stature for personal gain. Even if Ling Hu did marry into that family, he’d still be looked down on.
On a different note, Ling Xian was about to depart for a long time. During his absence, Ling Hu would be vulnerable to retaliation.
But Ling Tian Jiao was second-in-command at the Ling Clan. If he were to openly side with Ling Xian and become a witness to this union, Ling Hu would be protected even during Ling Xian’s absence.
