For such a scenario, if Xiao YanXue were to actually question Ling Tian, he probably would not be able to answer either. In real life, achieving such wealth through official channels wasn't actually possible. If Xiao YanXue found out that the most infamous bandit groups within Heavenly Star all belonged to this Young Noble Ling, then she wouldn't be so surprised anymore!
As for saying that nobody was corrupt, what was supposed to be an impossibility could also become a possibility if you were like Ling Tian, instilling all sorts of loyalist mentality into them since they were young. Just look at Ling Jian, Ling Chi, Ling Twenty, XiMen Sa, and the rest, and nobody would find it astonishing!
