"I am 14 and a half this year, soon to be 15," the young girl said softly and extended her wrist.
This startled Ling Xian. Then, he revealed a happy and relaxed smile.
This was because there was a red mole on the girl's left wrist, which matched her age. In other words, she was the Great Elder's granddaughter.
Therefore, why wouldn't Ling Xian be ecstatic?
Originally, he thought that the Great Elder's granddaughter had already died in the hands of the spirit body. Now that he had confirmed that she was not dead and was standing right in front of him, he naturally relaxed.
"I've finally fulfilled my promise."
Ling Xian softly grinned, startling the girl, "What promise?"
"Do you know why I came to Bright-Heart Island?" Ling Xian softly smiled.
"To investigate the Flowing Wind Tribe," the girl answered naturally.
"Not exactly. To put it more accurately, I am here for you." Ling Xian shook his head. After a moment of silence, he decided to hide what happened to the First Elder.
First, it was because the Great Elder didn't want the young lady to know the truth. Second, he didn't want the young lady to live in hatred.
"You came for me?" The young lady was stunned, not understanding what was going on.
"That's right. I was entrusted by someone, by your grandfather."
Ling Xian nodded softly, "We were friends. Before he died, he asked me to find you and take care of you."
Hearing this, the girl was even more confused. In her memory, her relatives were all in the Flowing Wind Tribe. How could there be a grandfather?
Seeing this, Ling Xian explained, "I think you still remember that the spiritual body said you are not a descendant of Tian Wu. That is the most convincing evidence."
"Not bad."
The young girl frowned and said, "But why would I have a biological grandfather? Since you are my grandfather, why did you send me to the Flowing Wind Tribe? "
"I'm not too sure about that. I think he was in danger and couldn't take care of you. That's why he sent you to the Flowing Wind Tribe." Ling Xian was helpless. He couldn't explain this. He couldn't tell her the truth, could he?
In that case, it would be impossible for him to fulfill his promise. The girl would never leave with him.
"This matter is too shocking. Give me some time to digest it." The young girl shook her head with a bitter smile, finding it hard to accept.
Ling Xian expressed his understanding towards this. Anyone would not be able to accept this in such a short period of time.
Therefore, he didn't speak anymore and waited patiently.
After a moment, the girl hesitated and said, "Senior, is what you said true?"
"Firstly, there's no need for me to lie to you. Let alone the fact that you don't have what I want, even if you did, I wouldn't need to weave a lie. I could just threaten you with force. "
Ling Xian softly grinned, "What do you think?"
The young girl nodded lightly when she heard this and said, "Senior is right. I don't have any room to resist."
"Secondly, the soul body said that you're not the descendant of Tian Wu. This proves that your true blood relative is someone else."
Ling Xian had a smile on his lips, "Am I right?"
"That's true." The young girl nodded, unable to refute.
"Thirdly, why should I look at your left wrist? That's because I knew beforehand that there was a red mole on your left wrist. "
Ling Xian smiled warmly, "Or rather, my old friend's granddaughter has a red mole on her wrist."
Hearing this, the young girl fell silent.
All three pieces of evidence were facts. She had nothing to refute.
"I know this is hard to accept, but this is the truth. No one can deny it."
Ling Xian spoke softly, "I won't make things difficult for you. I will give you enough time to decide if you want to leave with me or not."
"Leave with you …" The young girl frowned and fell into silence.
At this, Ling Xian didn't say anything else. He has said what he needed to say. Now, all he had to do was wait.
Then, he shifted his gaze towards the golden ship and his eyes flashed with a smile.
Now that the spirit had dissipated, the golden ancient ship had become a masterless object. No, it was now his.
"The crafting method of this ship is terrible and its realm is not high. However, the Soul Attracting Stones on this ship are all invaluable treasures." Ling Xian grinned, very happy.
The Soul Attracting Stone was a rare material. Even if it was only the size of a palm, it was priceless. How could an entire ship be worth it?
Immediately, the space between his brows began to emit light and erased the soul body's imprint on the ship. At the same time, he imprinted his own imprint on the ship.
From this moment on, the mysterious golden ship in everyone's eyes was now Ling Xian's.
"Sadly, I cannot take the body of a real immortal. Or else this trip would be perfect." Ling Xian softly sighed.
Though he didn't go and investigate, he knew this even if he thought with his toes. With his current level of cultivation, he couldn't even take out a piece of bone, let alone the body of a real immortal.
However, after feeling regretful, what replaced it was anticipation and determination.
Just because he couldn't move it today didn't mean he wouldn't be able to in the future.
Therefore, Ling Xian made up his mind and vowed that one day, he will take the body of a real immortal!
Just then, the young girl suddenly raised her head and uttered out a statement that made Ling Xian even happier.
"I am willing to go with you."
After those words, Ling Xian's heart finally calmed down. Then, he smiled warmly like the sun in March, warm and bright.
"This is the right decision. Trust me, you will not regret it."
"To be able to follow by your side is my honor." The young girl revealed a smile. However, her face was covered by a veil and her smile couldn't be seen.
"Take off your veil. I still don't know what you look like." Ling Xian softly grinned.
"Okay."
The young girl nodded and took off her veil, revealing a pure and elegant face. Even though she was still a child, her beauty had already been revealed.
It wasn't hard to imagine how beautiful she will be one day.
Even for Ling Xian, who has seen many beauties, his eyes flashed with awe.
This made the young girl blush and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Right, what is your name?" Ling Xian asked.
"Xiao Die. That's what everyone in the tribe calls me," the young girl answered in a low voice.
"Then your full name is Wang Xiao Die."
Ling Xian said, "Your grandfather's surname is Wang."
"Wang Xiao Die …"
The young girl mumbled to herself and revealed a bright smile. It was obvious that she approved of this name.
"Alright, everything is settled. Follow me." Ling Xian smiled and placed the golden ship into his storage pouch. He was ready to leave.
Since this trip was a success, it was time to leave. However, just as he was about to step out, he was stopped by the young girl.
"Senior, can you let the Flowing Wind Tribe take a look?" Xiao Die asked in a low voice, clearly a little nervous.
This made Ling Xian shake his head and chuckle, "You don't have to be so scared of me. Your grandfather and I are good friends. Just treat me like family."
Pausing, he continued, "Your request isn't too much to ask. I have no reason to say no."
Hearing this, Xiao Die revealed a smile. She was cute and charming.
"Lead the way. Let's go to the Flowing Wind Tribe first." Ling Xian smiled and leaped into the air with Xiao Die. Then, they headed northwest.
Three days later, the two of them arrived at a dense forest.
After Xiao Die displayed a strange technique, the hidden ruins finally appeared before Ling Xian.
Then, he revealed a look of surprise.
