Duan Lingtian knew in his heart that his mother and his cheap father had been separated for many years, and they must have a lot to say to each other...
So, he wisely left the backyard without disturbing him.
"I really didn't expect that I would recognize this 'father' by some strange coincidence..."
Thinking of the scene that just happened in the Duan family, Duan Lingtian was still a little incomprehensible and unbelievable.
At that moment, before he even had time to react, he called Duan Rufeng "Dad" for no apparent reason.
"Perhaps this is 'blood connection'."
Duan Lingtian's heart moved and he thought to himself.
However, no matter what, Duan Lingtian is very happy that Duan Rufeng can come back.
Not happy for himself.
He has long been accustomed to his current life. Whether his cheap dad comes back or not will not have much impact on him.
He is happy for his mother.
Over the years, his mother has worked hard to raise him. As a woman with no support, one can imagine the hardships she must bear.
Therefore, Duan Lingtian has always felt sorry for his mother.
Now, the man his mother has been longing for is back, which means that from now on, his mother is no longer alone.
"Zhizhi~~"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian heard the cry of the little golden mouse.
"Xiao Jin, what's wrong?"
Duan Lingtian looked at the little golden mouse in confusion and asked curiously.
The little golden mouse blinked a pair of green eyes and stared at Duan Lingtian. Yuan Li condensed his voice and said: "Brother Lingtian, when your father looked at me just now... I felt a terrible aura sweeping over me! That terrible aura.
The breath is very similar to what I sensed in the 'Death Swamp' last time."
Death swamp?
Duan Lingtian raised his eyebrows.
He remembered clearly what happened last time.
It was precisely because the little golden mouse sensed that terrifying aura that it led him to the underground palace hall embedded deep in the ground.
However, according to the little golden mouse, that terrifying aura was short-lived at the moment when the powerful soul wanted to defeat his soul and seize his body.
"That terrifying aura is obviously emanating from that powerful soul."
Duan Lingtian guessed it that day.
"Xiao Jin, I think you must have sensed something wrong...the owner of the aura you sensed will never appear."
Duan Lingtian shook his head, thinking that the little golden mouse's senses were wrong.
When the little golden mouse heard this, he shrugged his little head and did not refute.
After all, it only sensed that terrifying aura the moment Duan Rufeng looked at it.
That breath disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, even it itself is not sure whether it is its illusion...
It wasn't until night fell that Duan Ling heard Li Rou calling him.
Duan Lingtian took the little golden mouse into the backyard.
Only then did he realize that his mother, Li Rou, was leaning on the side of his cheap dad, Duan Rufeng, with a blush on her beautiful cheeks and a pair of watery eyes that seemed to melt everything.
"Mom, congratulations on getting what you wanted."
This was the first time Duan Lingtian saw his mother so happy, and he couldn't help but smile.
He could see that his mother was really happy and beaming with joy.
"Tian'er, come here quickly and let your father take a good look at you."
Li Rou greeted Duan Lingtian and came closer, her smile as beautiful as a flower.
Duan Lingtian walked over.
"Rou'er, you have worked hard these years... I already know what you and Tian'er have gone through these years. I promise, I will never leave you again!"
Duan Rufeng looked at his wife beside him. Thinking of his wife's experiences over the years, he felt full of guilt.
Li Rou nodded slightly, with a happy look on her face.
A family of three, enjoying themselves happily.
During this period, in order not to worry his mother, Duan Lingtian did not mention the fact that his father had lost his energy. He only used it as a foil to listen to his father and mother talking about the past...
These past events are mostly from when his father and mother were young.
At that time, he didn't exist yet.
"I actually have two future daughters-in-law?"
When Duan Rufeng heard Li Rou mentioning 'Ke'er' and 'Li Fei', his eyes lit up and he looked at Duan Lingtian with a smile, "Tian'er, it's not bad... In this aspect, you are better than your father and me."
"What? Brother Feng, do you also want to hug me?"
Sitting next to Duan Rufeng, Li Rou's voice was as gentle as water, with almost no strange emotions audible.
But Duan Rufeng's face completely fell, "Rou'er, I said the wrong thing, I didn't mean it... I really didn't mean it!"
Seeing Duan Rufeng busy explaining to Li Rou, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but laugh.
A while passed.
"Brother Feng, Tian'er, you two should have a good talk and cultivate your relationship... I'll cook tonight."
When Li Rou left the backyard, her cheeks were flushed and she was very happy.
People feel refreshed when happy events happen!
I’m talking about the current ‘Li Rou’.
For Li Rou, nothing makes her happier than the return of her husband, who has been missing for more than 20 years.
"Dad, what happened to your Yuanli? I found that your Dantian doesn't seem to have any signs of damage... Can you still practice again?"
Duan Lingtian looked at Duan Rufeng and asked.
"Tian'er, you don't have to worry about daddy... I'm very happy to be able to return to your mother's side this time. As for other things, they are not important to me."
Duan Rufeng’s words came from the bottom of his heart.
It was as if without his 'original power', his mood could not be affected at all.
Duan Lingtian was silent.
Could it be that dad really can't practice cultivation again?
Although he doesn't know the reason, judging from his father's current attitude, it is obvious that he has no intention of practicing again...
Or maybe, for some reason, his father can't practice again!
Soon, Duan Lingtian seemed to remember something and didn't ask any more questions.
"Dad, it doesn't matter whether you can practice cultivation again... Even if you don't have a whole body of cultivation, you are still my mother's husband and my Duan Lingtian's father!"
Duan Lingtian smiled and said: "As my fourth uncle said today when we were at the Duan family's residence... From now on, you just need to stay with your mother and enjoy your happiness. I dare not say anything else, but I want to give you and your mother peace of mind."
I still dare to guarantee my life."
"Tian'er."
Duan Lingtian's words made Duan Rufeng silent for a long time before he slowly spoke.
However, even if he spoke, he didn't seem to know what to say. He just called Duan Lingtian softly...
The tone was full of relief.
The child who was still in his wife's womb back then has now grown up and become famous.
As a father, he was happy for Duan Lingtian.
Not long after, Li Rou brought the food into the backyard with her maid, and the family of three gathered together to eat, enjoying themselves.
"Zhizhi~~"
During the meal, the little golden mouse stepped in, which added a lot of fun.
Duan Lingtian enjoyed this meal with great warmth and happiness.
However, after the meal, sitting alone, his eyes became a little misty...
"Ke'er and Xiao Feier, I don't know where they are now or how they are doing."
These two little girls are the biggest concern in Duan Lingtian's heart besides his mother.
Especially now that he saw his mother happily clinging to his father's side, he was even more touched. "It stands to reason that no matter how far they go... they should be back by this time, right?"
Late at night, Duan Lingtian rarely practiced, lying on the bed, thinking about his two little girls.
At some point, he fell asleep.
That night, he had a dream, dreaming that both Ke'er and Xiao Feier were back...
However, when I woke up the next day and stretched out my arms, the feeling of emptiness undoubtedly told Duan Lingtian that Ke'er and Xiao Fei'er hadn't come back yet.
"With Peak Master Qin Xiang by their side, they should be fine."
Duan Lingtian comforted himself, but he still couldn't help but miss the two girls.
Finally, five days later.
Duan Lingtian’s home welcomed a visitor from afar, a ‘beautiful woman’ who had come from afar...
It is none other than the master of Yaoguang Peak, Qin Xiang!
Today, Qin Xiang's beautiful face seems to be covered with a layer of frost, and there is a hint of blood in his autumn eyes.
"Peak Master, you...you know everything?"
Duan Lingtian saw Qin Xiang's face now and knew that Qin Xiang must have known what happened to the Seven Star Sword Sect, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Qin Xiang nodded, with killing intent in his eyes, "I didn't expect that so many things had happened to the sect after I had only been away for more than a year... The Three Qinglin Sects, what a 'Three Qinglin Sects'!
"
The Seven Star Sword Sect can be said to be Qin Xiang’s ‘family’.
Qin Xiang is where she is today, not only because of her 'sister', but also because of her master's dedicated cultivation.
Her master is the inner sect elder of the Seven Star Sword Sect.
He is also one of the few beings in the Seven Star Sword Sect who are above the fourth level of the Void Realm.
Although, her current cultivation level has surpassed that of her master.
But in her heart, once she is a teacher, she will always be a father!
Now, her master has been killed.
The sect that trained her to become a talented person was destroyed.
"Peak Master, don't worry. Whatever the three Qinglin Sects owe us, what they owe to the Seven Star Sword Sect... they will be paid back sooner or later."
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed with a frightening murderous intention, and he said word by word: "Blood debt must be paid with blood!"
"Well said! Blood debt must be paid with blood."
Qin Xiang nodded, his eyes flashing with cold light.
"Peak Master, where are Ke'er and Xiao Fei'er? Why didn't they come back with you?"
Duan Lingtian looked at Qin Xiang and asked.
When Qin Xiang heard Duan Lingtian's words, the cold light in his eyes weakened a bit, and a smile appeared on his face, "Don't worry, they are in a very safe place...no one can hurt them."
"Um?"
Duan Lingtian looked at Qin Xiang in confusion, frowning slightly, "Master Qin Xiang, they didn't come back with you?"
"No."
Qin Xiang shook his head, "They are still 'outside the territory'... I came back half a month ago. As soon as I came back, I found that the sect had completely changed. After a secret visit, I found out that the sect had been replaced by the Guiyuan Sect.
The 'Three Qinglin Sects' formed by the merger of Demon Lotus Sword Sect and Xueyue Sect have been destroyed!"
"Then, I inquired and heard that you were sent away by Mr. Peng... I remembered that Ke'er told me that you are from the Chixiao Kingdom, so I came to the Chixiao Kingdom."
