Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Only then did Ling Xiao seem to notice the passing of time. With a look of realisation, he said, "Ah, so it's already this late?" Looking at Ling Lan, he asked, "Are you leaving soon?"
Ling Lan really wanted to say that she had stayed here for too long and that someone was probably coming to visit her from the outside, but for some reason, Ling Lan could not bring herself to say that word.
Ling Lan's silence was actually also telling Ling Xiao that she could not stay here any longer.
"Don't forget, try to find time to come over this month!" Ling Xiao reiterated this point once more, as if afraid that Ling Lan would forget.
Ling Lan nodded solemnly. For the first time, she felt that leaving this place was so difficult, so reluctant...
"Let's go!" That said, Ling Xiao waved his hand, and Ling Lan felt herself being pushed out by a force. By the time she reacted, she was already outside the legacy space.
"Boss, let's go!" Not only was Ling Lan reluctant to leave, Little Four was also reluctant to leave, but they really did not have the time.
The two of them quickly returned to the recovery pods. Not even three minutes after their return, the recovery pods were opened, revealing Lan Luofeng's anxious and nervous face.
Ling Lan gave her mother a big smile and comforted her, "Mum, I'm awake. I'm fine!" Ling Lan wanted to smile brightly, but the tears in her eyes flowed uncontrollably...
Mom, do you know that Dad and I have been talking about you for the entire afternoon? Do you know that Dad's face would radiate a dazzling radiance when he heard about you? Do you know that Dad was suppressing his sorrow and regret when he heard that you missed him?
Two people who loved each other so much... why did they have to be so cruelly separated by life and death? For the first time, Ling Lan felt a heart-wrenching pain for her parents who had loved her so much in this lifetime.
"Ling Lan, does it hurt?" Ling Lan's tears scared Lan Luofeng, thinking that Ling Lan was in unbearable pain. Ling Lan shook her head and said, "It doesn't hurt. I'm just happy that I'm still alive … Mother, it's good to be alive, isn't it?" If Ling Xiao was still alive, would she have no regrets in her life?
"Mm, it's good that you're alive!" Lan Luofeng nodded firmly, tears flowing down her cheeks. As long as Ling Lan survived, she would be willing to die immediately …
Sometimes, Lan Luofeng would think that if Ling Xiao was still alive, no one would dare to hurt her Ling Lan. But Ling Xiao had sacrificed himself so early. Without his protection, those despicable and greedy people would not hesitate to lay their hands on their children. From a young age, Ling Lan had learned to shoulder everything by herself...
Ling Xiao, oh Ling Xiao, why are you willing to leave us? As much as I love you, I hate you as much! A trace of resentment flashed through Lan Luofeng's watery eyes. For the first time, she felt resentment towards Ling Xiao.
Ever since Ling Lan had woken up, her body had been slowly recovering in the recovery pod. This news had everyone in the Ling family overjoyed. If something were to happen to the head of a family, it would be easy for the family to collapse.
After Ling Qin found out that Ling Lan was fine, he began a new round of inspection at the Ling family mansion. As for the loyalists whose loyalty could not be guaranteed, Ling Qin cleared them out of the planet of Doha and sent them to other planets to expand the Ling family's business. He had to ensure that all the Ling family members on Doha were loyal and had no problems before Ling Lan returned to the Ling family mansion.
Ling Lan's consecutive encounters with danger had frightened the head steward of the Ling family. He did not want to let Ling Lan fall into danger again because of some carelessness. Ling Qin knew very well that one could only be lucky once or twice, but not three or four times. He had to take care of everything beforehand to ensure Ling Lan's safety.
At this time, Ling Lan did not know that because of her, everyone in the Ling family had begun to move, attempting to create a safe home for her to recuperate in peace. In this month, she had been busy sneaking into Ling Xiao's legacy space with Little Four to meet with him.
However, in this month, Ling Xiao was clearly much stricter than before. As soon as Ling Lan entered the legacy space, Ling Xiao would throw her into the assessment space to test all the abilities she had mastered. Even if she passed the assessment in some aspect, that did not mean that Ling Lan would be free. Because the next time, the assessment would still be there, but the content would be raised by an entire level...
This kind of stressful assessment allowed Ling Lan to gain a deeper understanding of all the abilities she had mastered. Initially, Guan Ke, who had been somewhat at the peak of Qi-Jin, had successfully broken through under the pressure of this month to officially enter the great perfection of the peak of Qi-Jin. As long as Ling Lan continued to accumulate energy, she would be able to pry into the mysteries of Domain.
However, Ling Lan had a vague feeling in her heart that she seemed to understand what the mysteries of Domain were, but right now, it was like a flash of inspiration that she could not grasp at the moment. Still, Ling Lan believed that as long as the energy in her body accumulated to a certain level, perhaps she would be able to understand what the mysteries of Domain were.
That great hurdle that blocked 99.9999999999% of all Domain masters from advancing from Houtian to Xiantian might not be that difficult for her...
This feeling was very strange, as if her body's instincts were telling Ling Lan. This made Ling Lan overjoyed. Initially, she had thought that advancing to Domain stage would depend on luck and coincidence, perhaps stopping at this hurdle for 5 years, 10 years, or even a lifetime. Unexpectedly, the heavens were so merciful to her, granting her such a golden finger...
In her excitement, Ling Lan told her father, Ling Xiao, about her feelings. Ling Lan's strange feelings also surprised Ling Xiao, but Ling Xiao did not think that these were untraceable, so he very carefully asked her about what had happened previously. When he heard that someone had borrowed her body to unleash Domain energy, Ling Xiao understood a little.
Ling Xiao guessed that it was very likely that Ling Lan's body had truly experienced Domain energy before, so her body had produced a kind of memory of Domain energy. And this memory would help Ling Lan grasp the mysteries of Domain energy, thus allowing Ling Lan to truly become a Domain master. Regarding this, Ling Xiao could not help but admit that Ling Lan's luck was extremely good. Even in that kind of situation, she was still able to profit from a disaster.
However, Ling Xiao also believed that the body's memory would disappear with the passage of time. Thus, if Ling Lan wanted to successfully advance to Domain stage, she needed to advance before the body's memory completely disappeared. Otherwise, if too much time passed, the body's memory would disappear, and this opportunity would also be lost. At that time, if Ling Lan wanted to advance to Domain stage again, she would have to be like everyone else, continuing to search for opportunities and coincidences to find the possibility of an epiphany.
Ling Xiao's words gave Ling Lan both a pleasant surprise and a great deal of pressure. Indeed, this was her opportunity, but whether or not she could grasp this opportunity would depend on her hard work.
One month passed quickly. On this day, Ling Lan once again came to Ling Xiao's legacy space. Ling Xiao was not like before, tossing Ling Lan into the assessment space, or giving pointers on Ling Lan's combat weaknesses and learning problems. At this time, he was sitting behind his desk, thinking about something.
Seeing Ling Lan arrive, he stood up and slowly walked over to Ling Lan's side to hug her gently. "Ling Lan, my child, in this past month, you've worked very hard. I'm very happy to see you grow."
Ling Lan was held in Ling Xiao's arms. Her father's warm breath enveloped her entire body, causing Ling Lan to inwardly suck in a breath. This was the first time Ling Xiao had held her in his arms, and the feeling was so wonderful that she almost drowned in it.
This kind of safe and warm embrace was so distant in Ling Lan's memories that she had almost forgotten it... experiencing it again, only then did Ling Lan know that she had actually always had this kind of desire in her heart. She had longed for all of this... she was still a girl after all, a little sentimental! This was really not a good thing. With her current status, she could not afford to be weak...
But, just this once, let her be unbridled for once. Let her completely be a little girl for once, unrestrainedly enjoying her father's warm and safe embrace. It was as if the wind and rain outside would be blocked by this strong and gentle man in front of her, and she could peacefully hide in her father's arms.
"Time passes so quickly. I feel like I can't bear to part with it..." Ling Xiao's embrace suddenly tightened, and his entire aura changed from its original warmth to a chilly one. "But, a baby eagle will eventually have to leave the nest and fly alone..."
Ling Xiao slowly pushed Ling Lan away. "What I should teach you, I've already taught you. Finally..." Ling Xiao slowly reached out his right hand, and his finger lightly tapped Ling Lan's forehead. Ling Lan was stunned for a moment, and then she felt a wave of unfamiliar memories rush into her mind, including some of the things Ling Xiao wanted her to do next.
Ling Lan looked at Ling Xiao in surprise, not knowing why he would use this method to leave behind his final instructions.
Ling Xiao smiled slightly, and his finger lightly pressed against his lips, making a shushing gesture, indicating for Ling Lan not to say anything and not to ask anything. There was even a hint of cunning in his eyes.
"I believe that the military has been monitoring this place all this time. In fact, I also felt the presence of an unfamiliar spiritual entity, but that spiritual entity did not have any malicious intent, so I ignored it. However, there are some things, some legacies, that cannot be known by others... It's fine as long as you understand, don't say anything."
At this moment, Ling Xiao's message rang out in Ling Lan's mind. It was the spiritual entity that Ling Xiao had just entered into her mind.
Ling Lan discreetly wiped away the sweat on her forehead, unsure whether she should tell Ling Xiao about Little Four's existence. However, Ling Xiao did not give Ling Lan a chance to speak. He suddenly raised his head to look outside the room and said, "Although I really can't bear to leave you, for your safety, I have to disappear..."
Ling Xiao lowered his head, and once again focused on Ling Lan, his eyes filled with gratification and joy. "Ling Lan, I am very proud that I am your father. One day, you will create your own legend. Daddy is proud of you!"
After saying this, Ling Xiao smiled. This smile was brighter than any other, dazzling and enchanting. However, Ling Lan did not lose her focus this time, because an indescribable sadness was rising in her heart. She could actually see the sadness and regret hidden deep within Ling Xiao's smile. If possible, Ling Lan believed that Ling Xiao did not want to die at all. He did not want to disappear from this world.
