Duan Lingtian knew clearly in his heart that his mother and that deadbeat father of his had been separated for so many years, and they surely had many things to say to each other …
So, he sensibly left the rear courtyard and didn't disturb them.
"I truly never imagined that I would actually recognize this' Father 'as a coincidence …"
When he recalled the scene that occurred in the Duan Clan earlier, Duan Lingtian was still slightly unable to understand and find it hard to believe.
At that moment, he didn't even have the time to react before inexplicably calling Duan Rufeng 'Father.'
"Perhaps, this is the connection of bloodlines."
Duan Lingtian thought in his heart.
But, no matter what, Duan Lingtian was extremely happy that Duan Rufeng was able to return.
He wasn't happy for himself.
He'd long since gotten used to his current life, and whether that deadbeat father of his returned or not didn't affect him too much.
He was happy for his mother.
During these past few years, his mother had painstakingly raised him up. A woman, a woman that didn't have anyone to rely on, the hardships she carried could be imagined.
So, Duan Lingtian had always loved his mother dearly.
Now that the man his mother yearned for day and night had returned, it also meant that from today onwards, his mother wouldn't be alone any longer.
"Squeak squeak ~"
Suddenly, the little gold mouse's cry sounded out by Duan Lingtian's ears.
"Little Gold, what's wrong?"
Duan Lingtian looked at the little gold mouse in bewilderment and asked curiously.
The little gold mouse blinked her jade green eyes as she stared at Duan Lingtian and said via voice transmission, "Big Brother Ling Tian, when your father looked at me earlier … I sensed a terrifying aura sweeping over! That terrifying aura was extremely similar to the aura I sensed at the Swamp of Death the last time. "
Swamp of Death?
Duan Lingtian's brows raised.
He clearly remembered what happened the last time.
It was precisely because the little gold mouse sensed that terrifying aura that she was able to bring him to the underground palace that was embedded deep underground.
But, according to what the little gold mouse said, that terrifying aura only appeared briefly at the moment the formidable soul wanted to crush his soul and seize his body in the end.
"That terrifying aura was obviously emitted by that formidable soul."
On that day, Duan Lingtian had guessed it.
"Little Gold, I think you've surely sensed wrongly … The owner of that aura you sensed will never appear again."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and thought that the little gold mouse sensed wrongly.
The little gold mouse's head drooped and didn't refute.
After all, it had only sensed the terrifying aura when Duan Ru Feng looked at it earlier.
In the blink of an eye, that aura.
At this moment, even she herself wasn't sure if it was a misconception or not ….
Only when night fell did Duan Ling Tian hear Li Rou call out to him.
Duan Lingtian brought along the little gold mouse to walk into the rear courtyard.
Only now did he notice that his mother, Li Rou, was leaning by the side of his cheapskate father, Duan Rufeng. Her beautiful cheeks revealed a wisp of crimson, and her watery eyes even seemed to be able to melt everything.
"Mother, congratulations on getting what you wanted."
It was the first time Duan Lingtian had seen his mother so happy, and he couldn't help but reveal a smile.
He was able to discern that his mother was really happy, and her happiness was written all over her face.
"Tian 'er, quickly come over and let your father take a good look at you."
Li Rou called Duan Lingtian over, and her smile was like a flower that was beautiful and moving.
Duan Lingtian walked over.
"Rou 'er, it's been hard on you these past few years … I've already found out about what you and Tian' er have experienced these past few years. I guarantee that I won't leave you half a step in the future! "
Duan Rufeng looked at his wife by his side, and his heart was filled with guilt when he thought of his wife's experiences these past few years.
Li Rou nodded lightly with a face full of happiness.
The family of three was joyous and harmonious.
During this period of time, for the sake of not causing his mother to worry, Duan Lingtian didn't mention the matter of his father losing his Origin Energy, and he only acted as a foil and listened to his father and mother speak of past matters …
These past matters were mostly matters of his father and mother when they were young.
At that time, he still didn't exist.
"I actually have two future daughters-in-law?"
After Duan Rufeng heard Li Rou mention Kerr and Li Fei, his eyes lit up, and he smiled as he looked at Duan Lingtian. "Tian 'er, not bad, not bad … You're stronger than your father in this aspect."
"What? Big Brother Feng, you want to hug one in each hand as well? "
Sitting next to Duan Rufeng, Li Rou's voice was as gentle as water, and almost no strange emotions could be detected from it.
However, Duan Rufeng's face completely collapsed. "Rou 'er, I said the wrong thing, I didn't mean that … I really didn't mean that!"
Seeing Duan Rufeng hurriedly explaining to Li Rou, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but laugh.
After a while.
"Big Brother Feng, Tian 'er, you two have a good chat and cultivate your relationship … I'll cook tonight."
When Li Rou left the backyard, her cheeks were flushed, and she was very happy.
People were in high spirits when faced with happy events!
This was the current 'Li Rou'.
To Li Rou, nothing could make her happier than the return of her husband who had been missing for more than twenty years.
"Father, what's wrong with your Origin Energy? I noticed that your dantian doesn't seem to have any traces of damage … Can you cultivate again? "
Duan Lingtian looked at Duan Rufeng and asked.
"Tian 'er, you don't have to worry about me … I'm already very happy to be able to return to your mother's side this time. As for other things, they're not important to me. "
Duan Rufeng's words came from the bottom of his heart.
It was as if losing his Origin Energy would not affect his mood at all.
Duan Lingtian was silent.
Could it be that his father really couldn't cultivate again?
Although he didn't know the reason, based on his father's current attitude, it was obvious that he didn't intend to cultivate again …
Or perhaps it was because of some reason that his father couldn't cultivate again!
Soon, Duan Lingtian seemed to have thought of something, and he didn't ask any further.
"Father, it doesn't matter if you can cultivate again or not … Even if you don't have your cultivation base, you're still my mother's husband, and my father, Duan Lingtian!"
Duan Lingtian smiled. "Just like what Fourth Uncle said at the Duan Clan Estate today … In the future, you just have to accompany by Mother's side and properly enjoy life. I don't dare guarantee anything else, but I still dare guarantee that I'll give you and Mother a stable life. "
"Tian 'er."
Duan Lingtian's words caused Duan Rufeng to go silent for a long time before slowly speaking.
However, even if he spoke, he seemed to not know what to say, and he only lightly called out 'Duan Lingtian' …
His tone was filled with gratification.
All those years ago, the child that was still in his wife's womb had already grown up and was successful and well-known now.
As a father, he was happy for Duan Lingtian.
Not long after, Li Rou brought along the servant girls to carry the food into the rear courtyard, and the family of three gathered together to eat happily.
"Squeak squeak ~"
During the process of eating, the little gold mouse poked its nose in and added a great deal of fun.
Duan Lingtian ate this meal with incomparable warmth and happiness.
But, after the meal, as he sat alone at the side, his gaze became slightly misty …
"I wonder where Kerr and Little Fei are now, and how they are."
Besides his mother, the two little girls were the greatest worry in Duan Lingtian's heart.
Especially now when he saw his mother happily snuggling up by his father's side, his feelings were even greater. "Logically speaking, no matter how far they went … They ought to have returned by now, right?"
Deep into the night, it was rare that Duan Lingtian didn't cultivate, and he lay on the bed as he thought of the two little girls.
Unknowingly, he'd fallen asleep.
On this night, he had a dream, and he dreamed that Kerr and Little Fei had returned …
But, when he woke up the next day and stretched out his arms, the empty feeling undoubtedly told Duan Lingtian that Kerr and Little Fei hadn't returned yet.
"With Peak Master Qin Xiang by their side, they ought to be fine."
Duan Lingtian consoled himself, but he still couldn't help but think of the two girls in his heart.
Finally, five days later.
Duan Lingtian's home welcomed a guest from afar, a beautiful woman that was travel-worn …
It was precisely the Peak Master of Alkaid Peak, Qin Xiang!
Presently, Qin Xiang's beautiful face seemed to be covered in a layer of frost, and her pair of beautiful eyes seemed to contain a slight trace of scarlet red mixed within.
"Peak Master, you … You know everything?"
When Duan Lingtian saw Qin Xiang's current expression, he knew that Qin Xiang surely knew what had occurred in the Seven Star Sword Sect, and he couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
Qin Xiang nodded, and the killing intent in her eyes was awe-inspiring. "I never imagined that I'd only left for a little over a year, and so many things had happened in the sect … Azure Forest Tri-Sect, what an Azure Forest Tri-Sect!"
The Seven Star Sword Sect could be said to be Qin Xiang's home.
Besides the contribution of that Big Sister of hers, Qin Xiang was able to have her current achievements was mostly because of her Master's wholehearted fostering.
Her Master was an inner court elder of the Seven Star Sword Sect.
He was one of the few existences at the fourth level of the Void Initiation Stage or above in the Seven Star Sword Sect.
Even though her current cultivation had already surpassed her master's, she was still very weak.
But in her heart, a master for a day was a father for life!
Now, her Master had been killed.
The sect that fostered her into a genius had been annihilated.
"Peak Master, don't worry. What the Azure Forest Tri-Sect owes us, what it owes the Seven Star Sword Sect … It'll be returned sooner or later. "
A strand of frightening killing intent flashed within Duan Lingtian's eyes, and he said word by word, "A debt of blood must be paid with blood!"
"Well said! A debt of blood must be paid with blood. "
Qin Xiang nodded, and her eyes flickered with cold lights.
"Peak Master, where's Kerr and Little Fei? Why didn't they return with you? "
Duan Lingtian looked at Qin Xiang and asked.
The cold lights in Qin Xiang's eyes weakened slightly when she heard Duan Lingtian, and she squeezed out a trace of a smile. "Don't worry, they're in an extremely safe place … No one can harm them."
"Hmm?"
Duan Lingtian looked at Qin Xiang in bewilderment, and his brows frowned slightly. "Peak Master Qin Xiang, they didn't return with you?"
"No." Qin Xiang shook her head.
Qin Xiang shook her head. "They're still in the 'Foreign Realm' … I returned half a month ago. As soon as I returned, I noticed the sect had completely changed, and only after investigating in secret did I find out that the sect had been annihilated by the Azure Forest Tri-Sect that was formed from the Origin Convergence Sect, the Demonic Lotusblade Sect, and the Snow Moon Sect!
