Chapter 1: Ling Qing Yan

  The dawn of the sky gradually unfolded, and a new day has once again taken its first step.

  The Ling family in Moyun City has been subdued, and since the incident ten years ago, it has quietly suppressed the other two families in Moyun City. For a time, it can be said that they are like the sun at noon. The Ling family is the absolute local emperor in Moyun City on the outskirts of the Great Qin Kingdom!

  The rising sun shines through the window and into a room in the Ling family's courtyard, suddenly illuminating the originally dimly lit room.

  "Hmm..."

  Inside the room, a purple-shirted youth who looked like he was only fifteen or sixteen slowly opened his eyes, but then seemed to be startled by something and sat up with a jolt.

  And this big movement of his also startled a young beautiful woman who was lying on the edge of the bed.

  "Mother!" The young man's eyes widened as he saw the beautiful woman beside him, and a look of infatuation flashed across his face. He called out in surprise, then shook his head, "How did you end up here? I remember last night, my consciousness was blurry, and I fainted in the courtyard... it was you who carried me in?"

  She slowly opened her blurry beautiful eyes, and a trace of fatigue crossed the young woman's lovely face. Then, seeing the boy clearly in front of her, she instinctively stretched out her right hand to touch the boy's forehead. "Yan'er! You're awake! You've slept for a whole day and night, it's good that you're awake, it's good that you're awake."

  The young man saw the fatigue on the beautiful woman's face, and his heart ached. He grasped the hand that was stroking his forehead tightly, "Mother, you haven't rested well for two days, have you? Now I'm awake, go rest."

  "Stupid child," said the young woman, seeing her only son so sensible, and feeling relieved in her heart. "Now that I see you're awake, mother is no longer tired."

  The young man's heart was moved, his mouth slightly opened as if he wanted to say something, but a faint porridge fragrance wafted in from outside the room, and suddenly the young man's stomach growled. For a moment, looking at his mother, the young man felt embarrassed.

  "Yan'er must be hungry," the beautiful woman didn't smile, but instead stood up and walked to the door, saying to the outside: "Bring in breakfast, young master is awake."

  As the beautiful woman returned to the bedside, two young girls slowly walked in from outside and neatly placed the prepared breakfast on the wooden table beside the bed. The two then stood aside in an orderly manner.

  "Go down!" The beautiful woman looked at the two girls beside her and smiled.

  "Yes, mistress."

  Two girls heard the young woman's words and respectfully responded by walking out of the room.

  Young and beautiful woman, is the current master of the Ling family, Ling Ao's wife, also the only wife "Shangguan Yun". Shangguan Yun can be considered a heroic woman, usually helping her husband handle big and small matters in the family, deeply loved by the people in the Ling family.

  "Every time you faint, you have to sleep for a whole day and night. It's almost become a habit over the years. Alas, I don't know what's wrong with me. All these years, one after another, doctors came and said they could cure any difficult or complicated illness, each one of them sounded very convincing, but when it comes to diagnosing and treating you, every single one of them says you're fine. Fine? How is that possible when you keep fainting... Hmph! A bunch of quacks!"

  Shangguan Yun gently picked up the porridge from the table, sat down on the edge of the bed, and fed the young man in bed, speaking as she did so.

  "Mother, I'm really fine, look at me, so strong and sturdy! Where does it look like I've been sick?" The young man seemed to be afraid that his mother wouldn't believe him, and suddenly stretched out his right fist and pounded his chest.

  "How many years has it been?" Yu Gongyun's face showed a hint of worry, but her hands didn't stop moving. "From the time you were three until now, you've already fainted twelve times! I remember it clearly! Especially in the past three years, it's happened more frequently. This is the fifth time this year alone! How can you still say that nothing's wrong?"

  "Uh," the young man heard this and touched his own occipital bone, but a pair of eyes showed a hint of helplessness and hesitation, as if he wanted to speak but stopped.

  That's right! Wanted to say but stopped myself!

  It seems that the young man knows something about his repeated fainting spells over the years. Yet, he appears to be holding back, unable to speak out even to his closest mother in front of him.

  ………

  "Alright, Mother, I'm full!"

  The young man finished his last bowl of porridge, looked at Shangguan Yun beside him, "Mother, you should also go eat breakfast soon, and then lie down on the bed to sleep well. I'm fine now!"

  Shangguan Yun looked at the young man, seemingly still a bit uneasy. The young man saw this and suddenly became anxious. Seeing his son's increasingly red and tender face, Shangguan Yun felt moved in her heart, and then she could only leave the room.

  She knew that her son was different from the start, he didn't even cry when he was born! Since learning to speak and walk, he has shown his cleverness and is sensible everywhere, she doesn't need to worry at all.

  However, she knew that her son had been a very opinionated person since he was young, and for some things, he could even be stubborn. At this time, seeing her son like this, the tired her could only compromise and retreated.

  After Shang Guan Yun left, the boy's face lost that hint of childish smile, his slightly tender cheeks were expressionless, and his eyes seemed to hold a deep sadness, completely not matching his age.

  "I didn't expect it, but last time I lost control of my emotions again and fainted," the young man shook his head. "Over the years, every time I fainted, my consciousness sank into the depths of my subconscious mind. However, what are the 'Crimson Snake' and 'Snow White Qilin' that have been constantly battling like arch-enemies in my subconscious mind? How did they end up in my subconscious?"

  "I didn't expect that the heavens would play a joke on me, after failing to snatch the jade and dying in my previous life. I've come to this world which is completely different from my previous one, and become a young master of a noble family. After my brother and I died, I don't know what happened to our brothers in the gang..."

  Young man, he is the son of Ling Jia's master, Ling Chuo - "Ling Qingyan", and also the next generation of Ling Jia's family heir in line to inherit!

  Ling Qingyan was different from other children since childhood, exceptionally intelligent and sensible. While this brought comfort to Ling Hua and his wife, it also made them feel somewhat helpless, as the child was too independent and had never had a playmate from young to old. Moreover, what was most peculiar about their son was that he had always disliked noisy scenes since childhood and preferred to hide in a corner alone, deep in thought.

  Extremely introverted!

  The Ling couple didn't know that apart from having fifteen years of memories in this life, Ling Qingyan also had twenty-two years of memories from his previous life.

  Not bad! It's from last life!

  Ling Qing was reborn into a new life, still named Ling Qing. Since childhood, he had been an orphan, lonely and helpless. At the age of 15, he met his older brother "Tie Shan" and joined the underground forces. Relying on his ruthlessness and mastery of the internal energy cultivation method taught by Tie Shan from their previous life in the Eastern Country, they unified the city's underground forces seven years later. The brothers' "Qing Shan Gang" was at its peak for a time.

  At that time, the authorities found them and asked them to retrieve a ancient jade "Qilin Jade" from an English royal family member who was visiting their city. The jade had been lost for decades in the Eastern country. Due to various entanglements with the authorities, the two brothers could not refuse and took matters into their own hands. However, they ended up losing their lives!

  Although Ling Qingyan had obtained the Qilin Jade at that time, he was killed by two people beside the British royal family in the blink of an eye. Just before losing consciousness, Ling Qingyan learned from their conversation that the two were actually two of the Twelve Round Table Knights who had been guarding the British royal family for generations.

  The Twelve Knights of the Round Table! Ling Qingyan was well aware that they were the top existence among all the capable people in the world.

  At the same time, Ling Qingyan was also furious. How did the official investigate? What a ridiculous ordinary royal family member! The royal family members guarded by the Knights of the Round Table, known as the guardians of the English royal family, could they be ordinary royal family members?

  Damn it!

  Didn't investigate clearly and called us brothers up, isn't this intentionally harming people?
