Seeing the stranger in this photo who he had never met before but who felt extremely friendly, Ling Yun could no longer suppress the cry in his heart. The tears accumulated in his eyes finally broke through the last barrier and flowed down Ling Yun's cheeks.
more than.
Seeing Ling Yun crying with excitement, the second elder and Anna kept silent in perfect agreement. The whole room became extremely quiet. Except for Ling Yun's sobs, there was no sound anymore.
Perhaps infected by Ling Yun's deep longing, the corners of the second elder's eyes gradually became moist, and Leah's figure slowly appeared in front of his eyes. From the first time he learned to walk as a child to the last farewell before separation, the scene was full of scenes.
Scenes of the past flashed before the eyes, and when the scene finally settled on Leah looking back and smiling when parting, the longing that the second elder had buried in his heart for more than ten years was completely vented, and the corners of his eyes that were already covered with wrinkles were filled with tears.
Tears and dry nose once again felt the sourness of seeing each other again after a long separation.
Staring at Ling Yun who was crying, Anna's heart seemed to be pulled by something. Nameless sadness came from her heart. She didn't know why she felt this way, but she vaguely felt in her subconscious that it was because of Ling Yun.
If this continued, she might even shed tears on the spot. After all, women are made of water, even a woman like ice like Anna was no exception. In order to prevent herself from losing her temper between the second elder and Ling Yun, she forcibly controlled herself.
Anna began to care about the metal box in Ling Yun's hand. She was really curious about what was in that metal box and how it could make such an outstanding person cry.
Runny nose!
Holding back the tears of excitement, Ling Yun focused his distracted eyes on the second elder again, and asked in a trembling voice: "Can you tell me...who is this person?"
The second elder took a deep breath. Although he repeatedly tried to control it, the words coming out of his mouth still had a slight vibrato.
"She is my niece, Leah!"
Leah... Ling Yun kept chanting this name silently in his heart. At this moment, he only had one persistent belief, that is, he must meet this person named Leah. Maybe she is the person Ling Yun has been thinking about day and night!
"Please tell me, where is your niece Leah now? I really want to see her, and please agree to my request. I am willing to pay no matter what the cost! Please tell me!" Ling Yun's eyes flashed.
With a firm light, he said with utmost sincerity.
The second elder sighed softly. He wanted to agree to Ling Yun's request. From Ling Yun's eyes, he saw not only perseverance, but also deep longing and expectation. Unfortunately, the second elder suffered from not knowing that Li
He could only smile bitterly and slowly shook his head.
"Why! Why don't you tell me? I said I can pay any price! These are true, please believe me! Please tell me!" Seeing the second elder shaking his head, Ling Yun thought that the other party was unwilling.
He told himself the whereabouts of Lia, and when he thought that Lia might be his mother, how could Ling Yun miss this rare opportunity? In desperation, he involuntarily used Wind Blowing Willow, and the second elder was unconscious.
Xia appeared strangely in front of him, grabbing the second elder's shoulder tightly with one hand, staring at the second elder's face hidden under the cloak with anxious and urgent eyes and shouting.
Realizing that his shoulder was grabbed by Ling Yun, the second elder's blank eyes suddenly became sluggish for a short time. Then the second elder came back to his senses and looked at Ling Yun in front of him in disbelief. He opened his mouth slightly and couldn't say a word for a long time.
.
Anna next to her was so surprised that she couldn't even close her beautiful lips. Oh my God! How did he do it? She just felt a breeze blowing by, and he appeared next to her like a ghost. Could it be that this
Is this his true strength? Maybe he hides more unknown strengths? Thinking of these speculations, Anna's heart was like a turmoil, and it was difficult to calm down, but deep in her heart, a strange feeling began to form.
It grows slowly without realizing it.
Seeing that the second elder just stood there quietly, letting himself hold his shoulder without saying a word, Ling Yun became more and more anxious, and the hand that grabbed the second elder's shoulder unknowingly increased his strength.
Perhaps Ling Yun unknowingly increased the force in his hand, causing the second elder to feel something strange on his shoulder and recover from the surprise. Only when he regained consciousness did he realize that his shoulder, which was grabbed by Ling Yun, had no feeling.
Then I realized that Ling Yun's seemingly soft and white hand actually had surprising power.
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I really don't know where Leah is. She has been out training for more than 20 years. In these 20 years, she has not sent back any news, and we have no idea where she is.
I have been looking for her whereabouts. Hey~~" After saying that, the second elder showed a bitter smile, which revealed a bit of bitterness, a bit of helplessness and a bit of loss.
"What? You don't know where she is? How could this happen!" Ling Yun stood there blankly as if struck by lightning. The hand on the second elder's shoulder instantly lost all its strength, and unknowingly
slipped from his shoulders.
Seeing Ling Yun standing there in despair, Anna's heart suddenly felt sour. She actually had an urge to comfort Ling Yun, but Anna resisted and did not make any move, because she knew that she did not
No one is qualified to comfort Ling Yun. She and Ling Yun are just strangers at this moment.
After a while, Ling Yun regained some of his vitality. After experiencing too many setbacks and too many mixed joys and sorrows, Ling Yun was used to it. At least he now had one more clue to find his relatives. This was already something to be happy about.
It's already happened, so why bother to hold on to it? Thinking of his reckless behavior towards others just now, Ling Yun secretly smiled bitterly.
Although Ling Yun's originally excited mood plummeted and fell silent again after hearing the second elder's words, Ling Yun still sincerely apologized to the second elder for his reckless behavior this time.
"I'm sorry, I was too impatient just now, so I misunderstood you!"
"Hey~ It's okay. In fact, I also hope to find some clues about Leah from you. After all, she has been away from the family for too long. We all hope that she can return to the clan as soon as possible." The second elder said sadly.
said.
Clan? Could it be... After hearing the last words of the second elder, Ling Yun, who was originally depressed, felt as if he had discovered a new world, and hurriedly asked: "Are you all members of the same family?"
The second elder was surprised and replied: "You can think so, but our family is much bigger than you think!"
"Then Leah also has the ability to perceive, right?" Ling Yun's eyes were filled with impatience.
"You are right, Liya does have the ability to perceive!" When mentioning Liya, the second elder's eyes always become softer, and the eyes he looks at Ling Yun are also full of care.
"So is the ability to perceive a special ability unique to your family?" Ling Yun's eyes revealed anticipation, and he seemed to have found evidence that better explained the relationship between himself and Leah.
"Perception is not a unique ability of our clan!" the second elder said seriously, but a strange smile flashed at the corner of his mouth.
Hearing these words, Ling Yun's eager heart felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him. He was like a deflated rubber ball, standing there blankly. The words of the second elder made his full expectations shattered again.
.
"However... only those with abilities who have reached level 10 will have the ability to perceive. Among those with abilities below level 10, only our clan has the innate ability to have this kind of perception. In other words, in a certain way,
The ability to perceive to a certain extent is the unique ability of our clan, do you understand?" With the words of the second elder, Ling Yun rekindled hope for the speculation in his heart that he no longer had any illusions, because the second elder said this
His words further strengthened Ling Yun's determination to find Leah. As long as he found Leah, Ling Yun might have found the mother he had missed countless times. With this determination, Ling Yun finally had a goal to pursue, and no longer had to look like a lost person.
Children who are clueless on the road to find their relatives do not have to rely on fantasizing about their parents in their dreams to ease their longing. Now, Ling Yun is more clear about his goals, which undoubtedly makes him
The happiest thing about Ling Yun was that despite the fact that the second elder and Anna were by his side, Ling Yun actually started dancing happily. At this moment, Ling Yun finally temporarily removed all the burdens and opened his heart to laugh heartily. This moment was Ling Yun's happiest moment.
The real side is also his most simple side.
Seeing Ling Yun's undisguised joy, the second elder was filled with emotions. Since Leah left, he had missed his beloved niece more than once. It can be said that he loved Leah as much as he did himself.
The children's love. But it has been twenty years since Leah left, and the second elder has suffered from missing her for twenty years. When the second elder saw Ling Yun for the first time, he felt like seeing Leah again.
, this feeling is very strange, just like when Ling Yun saw Lia's photo, the second elder felt that Ling Yun and Lia had too many similarities. In addition to similar appearance, they could be vaguely seen in Ling Yun's occasional words and deeds.
To the shadow of Leah back then.
Therefore, the second elder hopes to bring Ling Yun back to the clan, not only to discover clues to find Leah, but also to pin all the thoughts of Leah on Ling Yun.
It seems that the care that should belong to Liya was invested in Ling Yun in advance. At this time, in the eyes of the second elder, Ling Yun has been regarded by him as Liya's flesh and blood. As for whether this is the case, he is no longer willing to think about it.
At least at this moment, Ling Yun is his grandson. The second elder, who has not experienced the joy of family relationships for a long time, cherishes the time in front of him. He, who is known for being strict, actually played a child's trick and grabbed his shoulder in order to retaliate against Ling Yun.
Damn, that's when I gasped for breath.
After laughing wildly for a while, Ling Yun stopped dancing, slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath and gradually entered a peaceful silence, as if his whole person was completely integrated with everything in the room. After a moment,
, Ling Yun opened his eyes, and a powerful light disappeared in an instant. Compared with just now, Ling Yun was much more energetic now, and the calm and confident smile of the past appeared on his face again. Compared with those who have to reach level 10 ability and
After retrieving the necklace as a token, it became easier to find Leah. Now that he knew the path he wanted to take and what he wanted to do, Ling Yun had relieved his mental burden and became much wiser!
With an indifferent smile, Ling Yun walked up to the second elder and Anna again and said, "Can you tell me your identities now?"
Feeling the change in Ling Yun's temperament, the second elder was very pleased.
"If you are willing to go with us, I will tell you everything on the way!" the second elder said with a smile.
Ling Yun shrugged his shoulders and said casually: "Okay, can you tell me how long I will be away from you?"
"This... may take a long time. Maybe you will stay there forever!" the second elder said hesitantly.
Phew! Ling Yun took a deep breath and said calmly: "Can you give me some time? I will go with you tomorrow morning!"
"Okay, I will pick you up tomorrow morning. Don't tell anyone about the fact that we came to see you. If you want to say goodbye to your friends, do it as soon as possible! There are still two people outside the door with us.
After we leave, we will return to normal! My child! See you tomorrow!" the second elder said with deep meaning.
Hearing the change of the second elder's title to him, Ling Yun also showed a knowing smile and said: "I understand, although I don't know how to address you yet, but according to custom, it is not an exaggeration for me to call you grandpa.
?Then...see you tomorrow!...Grandpa!"
"Okay!" The second elder seemed very happy that Ling Yun called him that. One simple word expressed the excitement in his heart that could not be concealed at this moment.
Patting Ling Yun on the shoulder, with a delighted smile, the second elder walked slowly towards the door.
Anna saw the second elder leaving and followed him outside.
Turning around and watching the two of them leaving, Ling Yun remembered that he was still holding the metal box with the photos in his hand, and couldn't help but ask: "This metal box..."
But the second elder did not stop, he just waved his hand and said with a smile: "Just keep that thing with you! You are the most qualified person to save it!"
Ling Yun was grateful from the bottom of his heart for the second elder's understanding. Looking down at the old photo, Ling Yun's eyes were filled with the feeling that the metal box in his hand was so heavy.
Just when Ling Yun lowered his head, Anna, who had already walked to the door, suddenly stopped there and quietly turned her head to look at Ling Yun. Seeing Ling Yun looking at the metal box in his hand affectionately, Anna felt something in her heart for no reason.
Feeling a slight sense of loss, I sighed slightly.
Looking at the second elder who had already moved a few steps away, Anna caught up with him a few steps without leaving a trace, and followed him. Seeing that there was nothing unusual about the second elder, Anna couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of Ling Yun's affectionate expression just now.
Look, Anna's cold face was actually covered with a layer of blush.
The eyes of the second elder walking in front were a little dazed, and he was obviously not looking forward. When Anna quickly caught up with him, the second elder calmly showed a mysterious smile.
