The Road After Chapter 26

  Ling's family.

  "Big brother, is Yun'er's injury really nothing serious? He's grown up so big, but this is the first time he's been injured, and also the first time he's spent the night outside..."

  It was late at night, and Shangguan Yun once again turned over in bed, waking up her husband beside her, her voice full of worry.

  Her son had always been living within her sight, and since he was a sensible child from a young age, he had never made her worry before. But this time, she found out that he got hurt from her husband's mouth, and couldn't sleep at night.

  "It's alright, that afternoon a disciple of the Jianzong personally delivered a letter from the Sword-bearing Elder of the Tiansword Sect. The Sword-bearing Elder also mentioned it in the letter, saying that due to his sect's disciples, Yan'er was injured by someone, and his words were filled with remorse. Don't think about it anymore, go to sleep, the Tiansword Sect has no need to deceive us..."

  Although Ling Xiao seemed to be woken up by Shangguan Yun, the actual situation was that he himself was too excited to fall asleep.

  Since that afternoon, the disciples of Jianzong had been sending letters, and when the disciples of Tiansword Sect delivered the messages, they showed sufficient respect for him, which made his vanity swell!

  "Hmm," although she still had some worries in her heart, Shangguan Yun also knew that her husband's words were absolutely right, the Tianjian Sect had no need to deceive the Ling family.

  Lying back down, Shangguan Yun still felt a knot in her heart and couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Her mind was always thinking about her son, wondering where he was hurt, how badly he was injured, if it hurt...

  And beside her, Ling Hua was lying on his side with his back to her, a pair of eyes shining brightly in the night, and a smile filled his face.

  He didn't tell his wife about some things either, and he just wanted to surprise her later.

  This afternoon, the handwritten letter sent by the disciple of the sword-wielding elder vaguely praised my son's martial arts talent. Although it didn't explicitly state it, the words subtly revealed an intention to take my son as a disciple, and the tone was very polite towards me.

  The Tianjian Sect's Sword-Bearing Elder, who held such a high position, actually passed on the book to him and was so polite. Ling Hua wasn't a fool either, he naturally knew that his son's martial arts talent had been noticed by this Sword-Bearing Elder of the Tianjian Sect.

  A few days ago, in the conference hall, Ling Qingyan showed off his green-level primary martial artist's strength. That night, the eldest of the Ling family found Ling Chuo and directly stated that Ling Qingyan's talent might be an opportunity for the rise of the Ling family.

  Ling Wu also knew that his own son, at the age of fifteen, had reached the level of a Green Rank Martial Artist. Such talent was absolutely astonishing to hear, and even among the great sects on the Chongwu Continent, it was considered top-notch. After consulting with the elder of the family, the two of them also intended to let Ling Qingyan join any one of the three major sects around the Great Qin Empire.

  After all, once Ling Qingyan enters the Grand Sect, if he really becomes a high-ranking member of his sect in the future, the status of the Ling family will definitely soar like a rocket. As the saying goes, "One person achieves success, and the chickens and dogs rise to heaven."

  "That day, Jianzong's Xiezhen Elder, I also heard that he is a heavyweight figure in the Tianjian Sect. If Yan'er can become his disciple, it won't be a waste of her innate talent!"

  Ling Nu's smile grew thicker, and her sparkling eyes didn't have a hint of sleepiness. "Also, I heard from the sword-wielding elder that after tonight, all forces will withdraw from Moyun City, so we don't need to worry about the Ling family's safety anymore... I wonder if it's the Yuan family or the Ren family. Sigh..."

  As fellow members of the three major families of Moyuncheng, the Ling and Yuan families have always been on good terms with the Ren family. This time, due to the matter of the "Yong Huang Dian", one of the three families must be eliminated. Even if they are not annihilated, their vitality will be severely damaged.

  Ling Nu was also clear that no matter which family, once they got the "Yong Huang Dian", they would absolutely not just read it without practicing. And once they practiced the "Yong Huang Dian", it meant disaster was imminent under these circumstances.

  Deeply moved and filled with emotion.

  ………

  Welcome Inn.

  "Little brother, eat more."

  At this time, Liu Yanran was holding a bowl with one hand and a spoon with the other, sitting on the edge of the bed, feeding Ling Qingyan who was half-reclining.

  "I said, that... um, I'll just eat it myself, my left hand can move," Ling Qingyan seemed to be not enjoying himself at all, with a slightly childish face, continuing his fearless struggle.

  Everything finally came to an end after two quarters of an hour.

  Looking at the girl's back as she walked out with empty bowls and plates, Fan Yiran sat at the table sipping the fragrant tea in his hand, turned around and looked at Ling Qingyan on the bed, and chuckled: "Little guy, enjoy yourself?"

  "Elder, you'll know if you try it yourself," Ling Qingyan patted his own swollen belly, looking at the elder's teasing expression, and couldn't help but smile wryly.

  "Hey kid, I've got a question for you!"

  Fan Yiran put down the tea in his hand, sat up straight, and suddenly became serious, as if what he was about to say had a great deal to do with him.

  "Elder, may I ask!"

  Ling Qingyan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in response, her expression also becoming solemn.

  "What do you think about your future life? Will you continue to stay in this small Moyun City, guarding the Ling family's foundation; or will you leave this small Moyun City, break free from its shackles on you, and embark on the true path of a martial artist on the Chongwu Continent..."

  Fan Yiran almost asked word for word, clearly asking what he wanted to ask.

  He asked this question after careful consideration, as a martial artist, he was also unwilling to let such an unpolished jade be buried in the long river of history on the continent of Chongwu!

  Upon hearing this, Ling Qingyan suddenly became quiet and did not respond immediately.

  Since he came into this world, Ling Qingyan has been very happy, really very happy! He enjoys the sense of home given by the Ling family, and enjoys the deep love from his parents.

  All of this was something he never had in his previous life of loneliness.

  But just like this time, all the major forces gathered in Moyun City, and Ling's family being passive everywhere made him deeply feel the importance of martial power in this world. He also once hoped to become stronger and protect the Ling family!

  Although it's not necessary for the Ling family to become a big family, he must absolutely protect the Ling family and ensure that no one, regardless of their power or influence, can bully them at will.

  This was also his first pursuit in this world, and the first idea he wanted to realize.

  Get stronger!

  Possessing strength that surpasses many warriors on the Chongwu Continent, making anyone dare not underestimate the Ling family!

  On the other hand, Ling Qingyan also knew that if he continued to stay in the Ling family, it would be almost impossible to achieve his own wish, and the conditions that the Ling family could give him were too few, and the limitations on him were also very great!

  However, leaving the Ling family and Moyun City, he couldn't bear to part with them again!

  A home he never had in his past life; parental love he never had in his past life!

  Everything makes him reluctant to leave this life behind. He can't bear to part with the Ling family, nor can he bear to part with his parents.

  The eaglet that forever lives under the mother's protection will never learn to fly; only by completely leaving the mother's protection, daring to contend with heaven, can it truly learn to fly and soar through the vast sky!

  How could Ling Qingyan, who has memories of two lifetimes, not understand these principles?

  "Think carefully about it these few days and give me an answer," Fan Yiran said, looking at Ling Qingyan who was frowning and deep in thought, before lightly sighing and walking out of the room.

  Ling Qing suddenly raised her head and looked at Fan Yiran's back with gratitude.

  This Jianzong sect's elder, who was neither a relative nor an acquaintance of his, had done so much for him; the intention was obvious, how could he not understand?
