"Lingyu? Didn't she go to the Ning Family in Kunlun Mountain? What could have happened to her? "
Ling Yun feigned ignorance because Qin Qiuyue was still recuperating and he didn't want to make her worry.
Ling Yun originally had another intention when he flew to the Sky Sword Sect to rescue Qin Qiuyue.
That was, after rescuing Qin Qiuyue, Ling Yun wanted to thoroughly understand what happened to Lingyu before and after her birth, especially if there were any anomalies.
And the person who had the most say in these questions was, of course, Qin Qiuyue.
Ling Yun needed to understand these details to confirm whether there was anything wrong with Lingyu.
However, ever since Lingyu arrived at the Sky Sword Sect and Ling Yun witnessed her various performances, the doubts and doubts in his heart had long disappeared.
Especially last night, when Ye Xingchen had pointed out to his face that something was definitely wrong with Ning Lingyu before they parted.
It wasn't that Ling Yun didn't think of it, he just didn't want to admit it or face this cruel reality.
Since he had confirmed it, there wasn't much point for Ling Yun to ask Qin Qiuyue about the details of the past. He just needed to do his best to solve this problem.
To Ling Yun, this was an extremely important matter. He already had a comprehensive plan, so he didn't want to deal with it with great fanfare and make it known to everyone.
Especially Qin Qiuyue.
In this matter, Qin Qiuyue's identity was too sensitive. She was sandwiched between Ling Yun and Ning Lingyu, both sides were important!
"Yun Er."
Qin Qiuyue heard Ling Yun's words and sighed in her heart. She lowered her head and smiled. "Don't forget, you and Lingyu were brought up by me."
The subtext of this sentence was that no one knew a daughter better than a mother.
Ling Yun: "…"
He knew that he couldn't hide it anymore.
Qin Qiuyue turned around abruptly and stared at Ling Yun with her beautiful eyes. She stared at him for a long time until Ling Yun started to feel a little diffident. Then, she smiled and said, "Yun Er, just now, I asked you to tell me about your experiences in the past six months. Each and every one of them was truly heaven-defying. You were able to do the impossible and many of them could even be called miracles."
"However, do you still remember what happened when you were young?"
Originally, Qin Qiuyue wanted to ask about the things that Ling Yun had experienced before he turned eighteen. However, when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she changed them to "when he was young" instead.
Qin Qiuyue's eyes were filled with anticipation, but there was also a tinge of unconcealable nervousness. She couldn't help but clench her fists so tightly that her palms were sweaty.
She was afraid to hear the answer that she did not want to accept.
Ling Yun smiled and nodded to confirm, "Mom, I remember. Except for the things that happened when I was very young, I remember everything."
Qin Qiuyue's tensed body suddenly relaxed. She leaned against the railing behind her, making a sound of impact.
"As long as you remember."
Qin Qiuyue smiled and brushed this question aside. She then said, "Yun Er, you've always been exceptionally intelligent when you were young. You even surpassed your sister Lingyu in many aspects."
"However, not long after you were born, your Yang Heel Meridian was destroyed by Si Kongtu. That was a terrifying technique. Even a miracle doctor couldn't save you. If you didn't have a miraculous encounter, you definitely wouldn't have lived past the age of twenty."
"Of course, you already know about this matter now. Moreover, you've already killed your enemy, the culprit, Si Kongtu."
"However, not long after you started to understand things, you noticed the abnormality in your body. You knew that you were different from other children."
"I've never told you about the problems with your body before. With my abilities, I can't save you at all. I only hope that you can live happily and carefreely until you're twenty, maybe even longer."
Qin Qiuyue's eyes started to turn red as she spoke.
"However, your maturity has far exceeded my expectations."
"When you were six, no matter what delicious food I gave you, you would not eat it. Instead, you would secretly put it in Lingyu's pocket."
"When you were seven years old, regardless of whether it was the children on the streets or the students in school, you would not hesitate to fight back when they bullied your sister. You would protect Lingyu."
"When you were in primary school and started to learn how to read, you secretly flipped through the medical books in my clinic, hoping to find a solution to your body's problems."
"Then, junior high, senior high … After you finished reading the western medicine books in our clinic, you secretly learned Chinese medicine, 'Compendium of Materia Medica', 'Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases', 'Classic of Medicine', 'Shennong's Materia Medica', 'Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine', 'Treatise on Acupuncture' and so on."
Hearing this, Ling Yun's eyes were already red. He murmured, "Mom, so you already knew about all of this …"
Qin Qiuyue floated forward and caressed Ling Yun's hair. "That child, Lingyu, has always been strong since she was young. After she turned twelve, she started to look down on you more and more. However, I know that from then on, just based on your medical knowledge alone, you have long surpassed her. It's just that you have never been able to find a way to save yourself from those medical books."
"Mom, at home, the money under my pillow was secretly placed there by you, wasn't it?"
Qin Qiuyue smiled without saying a word. Her eyes were filled with gratification.
"Shennong tasted a hundred herbs."
Qin Qiuyue suddenly said, "You were able to obtain the Earth Emperor's Book, the Shennong Cauldron, and also inexplicably be transported to that mysterious medicinal valley in Shennongjia. It seems like all of these were fated. Those ancient almighty beings definitely did not choose their inheritors randomly."
"This also coincidentally proves another saying, 'Heaven never bars one's way'."
Ling Yun was shocked.
Even though this conversation between mother and son had a tacit understanding, Ling Yun's judgment was basically correct. His true origins were no longer important to Qin Qiuyue.
That was why Qin Qiuyue had never asked him about it. Furthermore, at the start of the conversation, Qin Qiuyue had told him to say what he should and not mention what he shouldn't.
"In the past six years, the two of you have gradually drifted apart. Mom knows that it's all Lingyu's fault. That's why I only talk about her and not you."
At this point, mother and son looked at each other and smiled knowingly. Then, Qin Qiuyue continued, "That weekend at the end of March this year, the two of you went home together. After seeing your nature-defying performance, I couldn't imagine how happy I was!"
"Mom, I …"
At this point, Ling Yun truly felt the greatness of a mother's love!
Qin Qiuyue immediately interrupted him. "I've said it before, don't say a word to me about what you shouldn't say."
She lowered her head and looked at Ling Yun lovingly. "Through Lingyu and Dong Xue, as well as what you've said just now, I know that you've taken good care of Lingyu for the past six months. It can be said that as a brother who has no blood relations with her, you've done your best!"
"Half a year ago, your body was already very weak and you had gained a lot of weight. Even your mental state had a big problem. Even so, you still cared about Lingyu and took care of her in every aspect."
"In the past six months, you've defied the heavens and rose to prominence. Even when I wasn't home, you still took good care of her."
"Mom knows that your pure heart has never changed. It's Lingyu who has been changing. You've done … very well! "
At this point, Ling Yun was already starting to become speechless.
"Tonight, Mom only wanted to hear about your experiences in the past six months. In the end, you told me all your secrets and were very honest with me. I'm really happy!"
"But!"
"You can't hide Lingyu's matter from me even if you want to!"
Qin Qiuyue glanced at Ling Yun again, causing him to scratch his head in embarrassment. She then said, "Lingyu is a piece of flesh that fell from my body."
She suddenly raised her head and looked in the direction of the Tianshan Mountains in the northwest. "That lass, after arriving at the Heavenly Sword Sect, the moment I saw her, I knew that something was wrong with her."
Ling Yun was moved. "Mom, you saw that she was hiding it?"
"That wasn't hiding it, nor was she acting."
Qin Qiuyue shook her head decisively. "If that's the case, it'll be easier for us."
"Then, what do you think is wrong with Lingyu?"
Qin Qiuyue retracted her gaze and asked Ling Yun seriously, "Yun Er, let me ask you, when a cultivator reaches a certain level of cultivation, will there be a huge change in their temperament?"
Ling Yun shook his head and said, "That won't happen. The more you cultivate, the more true you become. What you pursue is your true nature. As your cultivation level increases, you will return to your true nature. It's impossible for your personality to change drastically."
It was easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's character. Otherwise, when everyone cultivated to the end and became the same character, what would be the point of becoming a deity?
Ling Yun muttered, "Unless …"
"Unless what?"
"Unless her cultivation went astray, like …" Ling Yun stopped abruptly.
Qin Qiuyue said indifferently, "Like your Uncle Ning, who suddenly changed his cultivation to demonic arts, right?"
Ling Yun answered honestly, "That's right."
"But after I arrived at the Heavenly Sword Sect, I didn't feel any huge change in Uncle Ning's temperament."
"That's because he didn't master it."
Qin Qiuyue nodded. "If that's the case, then does Lingyu have such a chance after successfully cultivating to Qi Cultivation Stage Six?"
Ling Yun smiled. "Mom, I'm also at Qi Cultivation Stage Six now."
Qin Qiuyue spread her hands. "That's it. Lingyu's biggest problem now is that she didn't hide it or put on an act. The Lingyu we saw at the Heavenly Sword Sect is the real her. However, the way she speaks, the way she does things, the way she treats us, the way she treats her enemies, the way she treats the Qin Family and the Ning Family. It's not something the Lingyu of the past could do. "
Ling Yun's mind flashed. His mother was indeed his mother. She had hit the nail on the head.
"The Lingyu of the past, when you saw someone so important to you for the first time in the mourning hall at the Heavenly Peak, would she have hit him without any explanation?"
Ling Yun smiled bitterly. "Definitely not!"
"It's good that you understand."
Qin Qiuyue nodded again. "Yun Er, Mom will tell you something very important."
"When your Uncle Ning was on the brink of death, he had a moment of lucidity. At that time, he was already on his deathbed. He seemed to be hallucinating. He actually said that he saw Lingyu and had something very important to tell me. However, before he could say it, he …"
Ling Yun stood up in shock!
"Mom, can you, in full, repeat what Uncle Ning told you to me?"
Qin Qiuyue naturally wouldn't reject this request. The scene of Ning Tianya's death was too deep in her mind. Thus, she demonstrated it to Ling Yun.
After watching it, Ling Yun fell into deep thought for a long time.
"Mom, you don't have to worry about Lingyu in the future. Leave it to me. We still have enough time."
After a long time, Ling Yun said, "As for Lingyu, from now on, treat her the way you used to. Don't hold any grudges."
"Mom, I'll listen to you."
