"You saved hundreds of lives in a time of crisis. If you cannot be called a hero, then who can?" Ling Tian Qing hurriedly invited Ling Xian to sit down and poured him a cup of tea.
Ling Tian Qing frowned. Naturally, he was unhappy that he was interrupted in the middle of reminiscing. However, when he saw that it was Ling Xian who walked in, his dissatisfaction disappeared. He smiled sincerely and said, "Our hero is here. I was just about to visit you at your home."
Watching Ling Xian's back as he walked away, Ling Tian Qing remembered everything his sister had done for him. He couldn't help but sigh.
However, the more you don't want to happen, the more likely it is to happen.
The jade doll fell to the ground and made a crisp sound.
Ling Tian Qing was stunned. After a moment of silence, he asked, "You are leaving the City of Qing?"
They respected him for saving the city, but feared him for his capabilities.
Ling Xian exhaled softly. He knew what Ling Tian Xiang wanted to ask, but the current situation was like an arrow nocked on a bowstring. He could not afford to hesitate. If he wanted to avoid the question, it would be better to be straightforward.
"I'm fine." Ling Xian shook his head, hesitation flashed across his face.
"Ling Xian, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well? "Ling Tian Xiang asked.
"The Wan Jian House …" Ling Tian Xiang chewed on those three words. Her eyes flashed with determination, "The stage there is huge. It will brighten your future. With your natural talent, you will for sure stand out there and shine."
"Wait." Ling Tian Qing suddenly called out to him. Then, he let out a long sigh and said something that was calm but heavy.
The Sun hung high in the sky, shedding down warm rays of light. The wind blew by, adding a sense of coolness.
When they first met, she was being held hostage and her life was hanging by a thread. Her weak and pitiful look was deeply imprinted in Ling Xian's heart. When they met again, she was cute and full of hope. She invited him to enter the Hidden Territory with her, but he rejected her.
"Back then, the mysterious elder was truly unpredictable. One word from him could determine life and death. One word from him could reveal the secrets of the Heavens. He predicted that the Ling Clan would face a calamity. However, with the help of a great benefactor, not only did we avert the disaster, but we also profited from the disaster." Ling Tian Qing's eyes were full of nostalgia. He softly sighed as he reminisced about the past.
"I …" Ling Xian stared at the woman before him, unsure of what to say.
At this moment, he held his breath and concentrated. His right hand held the brush, and he lightly dipped it into the pine smoke ink before slowly writing a word on the plain white rice paper.
However, Ling Tian Xiang did not seem to notice. She continued to stare at Ling Xian with her limpid eyes. Slowly, her eyes became watery.
If it was anyone else dealing with these matters, they would probably have a headache and be exhausted.
"It's good that you're fine. Look at this." Ling Tian Xiang smiled brightly and took out a jade doll from her storage pouch. It was green in color with exquisite workmanship. A man and a woman were hugging each other. It was lifelike and lifelike.
Memories of the time he spent with Ling Tian Xiang surfaced in his mind. His mind raced, and his brows furrowed in helplessness.
Ling Xian smiled. He was no longer the boy who did not understand the ways of the world. He naturally understood what Ling Tian Qing wanted to say. "Do not worry, Leader. No matter where I go, the blood of the Ling Clan flows in my veins. I will never forget my roots. If the Ling Clan is in trouble in the future, I will not just stand by and watch."
In the beginning, Ling Xian was not used to this. However, as time went by, he let them be. After all, he could not gouge out other people's eyes.
"Aye, what an ill-fated relationship."
"The Wan Jian House. Maybe one year, maybe ten years." Ling Xian gave a very vague answer.
Ling Xian accepted the tea and took a sip. He felt a little emotional. Even though Ling Tian Qing's tone was calm and his demeanor was natural, he could feel that the leader of the Ling Clan respected him from the bottom of his heart.
Ling Xian drank the tea in one gulp and slowly stood up. "Thank you, Leader."
"Remember to visit my sister before you leave."
At the end of her sentence, Ling Tian Xiang's eyes were moist. She sounded like she was about to cry.
However, Ling Xian was not in the mood to pay attention to them. His heart was heavy because of what Ling Tian Qing said. It was as if there was a giant rock weighing down on his heart. The closer he got to Ling Tian Xiang's residence, the heavier the rock became.
The scenery here was beautiful, peaceful, and peaceful. Usually, many people came here to admire the scenery. Therefore, when Ling Xian appeared, four to five young girls noticed him. Gazes of curiosity, jealousy, and fear converged on him. Nobody knew what they were talking about.
Slowly walking on the cobblestone path, Ling Xian placed one of his hands behind his back and ignored all the respectful gazes around him. Ever since he killed the two foundational cultivators in front of everyone, these heated gazes have been fixated on him.
"What a coincidence." Ling Xian forced a smile. He knew he had to be straightforward, or else Ling Tian Xiang would fall deeper and deeper. However, he could not bring himself to say the words.
"Pata!"
"Farewell?"
Ling Tian Xiang's facial features were exquisite. Hearing that Ling Xian was here for her, her cheeks flushed. She said shyly, "Actually, I was going to look for you too."
Inside the ancient study room, Ling Tian Qing was wearing a white robe. He looked gentle and elegant, as if he had been through many trials and tribulations.
Ling Xian was silent for a moment. Looking at the beautiful woman in tears, he felt a tinge of regret. However, the words had been spoken, and he could not take them back. He had to harden his heart and say in a low voice, "I said, I am here to say goodbye."
Ling Xian's heart warmed. He knew how much Ling Tian Xiang cared for him and how much she cared for him. But he could not go against his heart, and he could not lie to this woman. He could only sigh and say something to put some distance between them.
Then, Ling Xian fell into a coma due to his heavy injuries. Ling Tian Xiang held onto him for three days without moving. How could he ever repay her kindness?
"Leader, please don't compliment me. I am shy. I will feel embarrassed." Ling Xian smiled shyly. However, upon closer inspection, he did not feel embarrassed at all. After living in the Lost Territory for a hundred years, his mind has matured and his skin has grown thicker.
Ling Xian nodded with a smile.
…
Ling Xian frowned. Perhaps it was because he was afraid of seeing Ling Tian Xiang's tearful face. He stopped and did not want to go any further.
A voice full of excitement rose beside his ear, disrupting his train of thought. He raised his head and saw Ling Tian Xiang standing before him. Her eyes were as clear as the autumn waters, staring at him unblinkingly. They were full of joy and tenderness.
"Ling Xian, why are you here? Are you here for me? "
"Congratulations.
"That's right. A completion leveled elder came to my house and wanted to take me to the Wan Jian House. He said that once I enter the House, he will give me the status of a direct disciple." Ling Xian sipped on his tea.
Not long after, he arrived at a famous scenic area of the Ling Clan. It was not far from where Ling Tian Xiang lived.
Sighing, Ling Xian suddenly had the urge to turn tail and run. However, he knew very well that if he did, the girl's heart would shatter. Therefore, he had to bite the bullet and said, "Yes, I am here to find you."
Looking at the beautiful doll in front of him, Ling Xian was touched. He also knew that he could not hesitate anymore. He gritted his teeth and said, "I am here to say goodbye."
"Speak."
"I knew it …" Ling Tian Qing exhaled slowly. The way he looked at Ling Xian was full of envy. He sighed, "Years ago, I knelt at the foot of the Wan Jian House's mountain for half a month. However, my efforts were futile and I could only return to my clan. I cannot believe that after so many years, an Elder from the Wan Jian House would personally invite you and promise you the status of a direct disciple. How envious."
To be honest, he did not want the young man in front of him to leave the City of Qing. After all, Ling Xian was the strongest powerhouse in the City of Qing. As long as he was in the Ling Clan, no one would dare to invade. However, Ling Tian Qing knew very well that Ling Xian would not stay in the City of Qing forever. His talent was unparalleled and his future was bright.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
This word also expressed his feelings at the moment.
"What are you thanking me for? If you want to leave, I can't stop you. " Ling Tian Qing waved his hand and said, "You are a hidden dragon, a young God. You are destined to conquer the world. The small City of Qing is no longer enough for you to spread your wings. You need a bigger world where you can fly freely."
The calligraphy was like a dragon and the phoenix was dancing. It was obvious that his calligraphy skills were extraordinary.
In reality, ever since the two foundational powerhouses were killed by Ling Xian, Ling Tian Qing had been in a state of excitement. He reorganized his troops, gave out orders, took over the two Clans, swept across the city, and used different methods to deal with different people. Sometimes he suppressed them with thunder, sometimes he comforted them with gentle words. He alternated between being ruthless and being gentle.
This was the change brought about by strength.
It was finally here.
"Aye …" Ling Tian Qing let out a long sigh. "The truth is, when you killed two foundational cultivators, I knew that the small City of Qing could no longer keep you. If you continue to stay here, you will be like a dragon swimming in shallow water. You will never achieve anything great. Therefore, I will not keep you."
"What kind of hero am I? Clan Leader, please don't flatter me." Ling Xian smiled.
"You don't have to say anything. Your decision was right. The Wan Jian House can give you a bigger sky. If I were you, I would have made the same choice." Ling Tian Xiang was kind and considerate. Even though she was reluctant, she did not want Ling Xian to give up his bright future.
"Farewell …" Ling Tian Xiang mumbled and forced a smile, "Where are you going, and how long will you be gone?"
Pausing, she continued, "The truth is, when you killed the two foundational powerhouses, I knew that one day, you would leave. The City of Qing is too small. It cannot contain your wings, and it cannot allow you to soar through the nine heavens. I just didn't think, I really didn't think, that this day would come so soon."
Ling Xian silently sighed. Looking at the smiling Ling Tian Qing, he said, "Clan Leader, I am here to say goodbye."
Ling Tian Xiang shook her head. Her expression suddenly became determined. In a low voice, she said, "Ling Xian, I want to ask you something."
After a long time, Ling Tian Xiang's eyes reddened. She suppressed the sadness in her heart and said, "What did you say? Say it again! "
"It was all luck. I just happened to meet the Elder who came to the City of Qing." Ling Xian smiled.
Ling Xian stopped in his tracks and stood there for a few seconds. Then, he strode out of the study.
"You, do you like me?"
Ling Tian Xiang's skin was smooth like jade, her eyes were clear like autumn water. She stood up straight and raised her head. Her eyebrows were slightly raised, giving off a sense of heroism.
"Really?"
He turned around and walked out of the study.
Ling Tian Xiang loved him deeply, but he was destined to let her down.
Ling Tian Qing's heart skipped a beat. His eyes flashed with disbelief, "Are you from the Wan Jian House, one of the nine Houses in Yunzhou?"
"I believe that even without me, under the leadership of the Clan Leader, the Ling Clan will continue to prosper and prosper." Ling Xian bowed politely and paid his respect, "Since everything has been explained, I will leave now."
"Thank you."
As expected, the moment Ling Xian's voice trailed off, Ling Tian Qing's frown disappeared. He laughed, "Good, good. I am relieved to hear that. As long as you are here, the Ling Clan will prosper for a long time and we will dominate the land."
"Come in."
The atmosphere was eerily silent.
"That was because he was moved by your talent. That's why he wanted to bring you back to the Wan Jian House." Ling Tian Qing shook his head and exclaimed, "Ling Xian, with your unparalleled talent, you will have no problem entering any of the 10 dynasties and nine Houses. Even if you become a candidate for the Supreme Headmaster position, you are more than qualified."
Then, a trace of hesitation flashed across his face. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but stopped himself.
However, Ling Tian Qing did it with ease. It was obvious that he was born to be a leader. The reason he became the Clan Leader was not because he was the eldest son of the previous Clan Leader.
