"His mother? Actually...I don't know very well."
Ling Weiran touched the texture of the armrest of the wooden chair and raised his eyes slightly, as if he was reminiscing.
"Back then, his father wanted to arrange a marriage for him, but he refused. The family was still worried that he was not interested in women. As a result, he even brought back his half-year-old child within a few years of leaving..."
Qiu Tianming held the tea lid and pressed the rolled leaves floating on the water:
"So... no one in the Ling family has ever seen his wife? So how are you sure that Ling Yao must be Ling Xingran's son?"
If this question were asked by an outsider, it would actually be a bit rude. After all, this is someone else's family matter, and in these words, there is quite a hint of doubt about Ling Yao's life experience.
However, the person who asked the question was Qiu Tianming, so that was different.
Not to mention that he is Ling Yao's mentor, he is almost half of Ling Yao's father; even he has no relationship with Ling Yao at all. After all, where is the realm of the peak of the sky, for the little Ling Weiran? Even if Xiao Dongxu Shuijie was asked how many wives he had, no one would dare to accuse him of being rude.
As expected, Ling Weiran was not dissatisfied at all and just answered:
"Yes. Although Xingran insisted that this was his child, there were still many rumors in the family that Ayao was not a descendant of the Ling family.
"After all, I have no children. If Ayao is really Ling Xingran's child, he will be the eldest young master of the master's family. The power of the head of the Ling family... will most likely be handed over to him. Alas, although this child, In fact, I have no interest in becoming the head of the family. I was looked down upon by others for nothing when I was a child."
As he spoke, Ling Weiran sighed, looking quite regretful.
"Then...? I think the people in the Ling family are quite convinced by him now, and there are many voices wanting him to become the head of the family. Isn't this just the reason why he became a disciple of the Jianmen? After all, if they don't If you think this is a member of the Ling family, no matter how powerful he is..."
Ling Weiran nodded:
"Indeed, although Ayao is capable, this alone cannot win the trust of most people in the Ling family. But...if at the beginning, there were still people who questioned whether Xingran just picked up a child and returned it , seizing the position of the head of the family; but when Ling Yao grows up, this voice will naturally disappear...
"After all, he and Xingran look so much alike. Apart from the age gap, they are basically carved from the same mold! What else can they be besides biological children? So, these people are just looking for trouble. , I don’t look at people’s kindness..."
Thinking of this, Ling Weiran still seemed dissatisfied and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
After Qiu Tianming listened, he took a sip of tea and asked again:
"Has Ling Xingran never mentioned Ling Yao's mother to you? Ling Yao himself doesn't know who his mother is?"
"Yes, there is. But Xingran only said that the woman was an acquaintance from outside and was no longer alive, and refused to mention anything else.
"Ayao would ask when he was a child, but Xingran had no intention of telling him. When he grew up, there were less rumors that he was a bastard. He didn't seem to want to know, and no one mentioned it. ”
Ling Weiran felt a little uncomfortable when he saw that Qiu Tianming seemed obsessed with the identity of Ling Yao's mother.
"Master, has Ayao done anything recently..."
Qiu Tianming interrupted:
"He is in Rukawa now. There are indeed some minor problems, but it is not a big problem. I just want to confirm whether he has any relationship with Rukawa from his life experience."
"This...should not exist."
Ling Weiran frowned,
"It is rumored that women do not marry outside, I still know this. Moreover, the appearance of Ruchuan people... is very distinctive. If Ayao's mother is indeed a Ruchuan person, there is no way that there is no distinctive feature in his appearance. "
Regarding this point, Qiu Tianming could only nod:
"That's true. Even if the Ruchuan people marry with foreigners, the children born will have the characteristics of the Ruchuan people, and ordinary people can recognize them at a glance. And Ling Yao..."
Ling Yao looks so much like Ling Xingran. If a person's appearance always comes from his father's and mother's family, Ling Yao looks like he only has a father and no mother.
If it weren't for the age difference, they looked exactly like the same person.
It seems that the Ling family has no clues.
Qiu Tianming put down his teacup and stood up:
"I'm sorry. I have something else to do, so I won't bother you anymore."
Ling Weiran quickly stood up to see him off. However, Qiu Tianming keenly noticed that the other party seemed to be hesitating whether to say it to him or not.
"What? Is there any difficulty? You are my disciples' clansmen after all. My Sword Sect can still take care of some small matters."
Ling Weiran grimaced, lowered his head and said:
"Actually, this is not just a problem for my Ling family. But I'm afraid... I'm afraid, it's not a trivial matter. What if we make a mistake..."
Qiu Tianming smelled an unusual smell:
"You tell me first. I can make my own decision."
Ling Weiran gritted his teeth:
"There are some abnormalities in the ground near Ling's house. Although there were problems ten years ago, there was heavy thunder and light rain. But this time it seems to be different...
"I'm worried...those are cracks that appear when demons invade!"
…
Ling Yao, who was resting in the Temple of the God King and waiting for the divine descending prophecy ceremony the next day, had no idea what the elders of his sect were busy with.
He was lying on the bed bored at the moment, listening to the chatters.
Oh, maybe it would be more appropriate to call it "Brother Qian's Small Class Opening":
[Usually, stories are composed of copies. For example, Branch Academy Summit is a dungeon, Misty Forest is a dungeon, Main Academy Power Struggle is a dungeon, Exchange Tournament is a dungeon, and Rukawa is also a dungeon. If you want to retain readers and make people want to read further, you must connect the copies together. The clues that can run through every copy of the text are called "main lines."
[In some types of stories, the main line is relatively clear. For example, a protagonist wants to pry into the truth of an incident, the unknown true face of the entire world, or the mystery of the protagonist's life experience. In more stories, this "main line" is usually the protagonist's character growth, strength enhancement, or emotional development - which will also give readers a desire to understand more. But these are just the basics.
[In order to enhance the connection between dungeons and dungeons, authors usually leave suspense in the previous dungeon - a mysterious important character, a powerful but unknown magical prop, a big unknown whose full picture is unknown. event. Readers are curious about their true identity, but that will not be revealed until the next copy. This prompts the reader to learn about the story in the next copy. Repeating this process over and over again is the author's secret to retaining readers. 】
[That’s what I said, but if there is an error in any copy in the middle, it may cause the reader to get lost. How to keep readers until the end is still a big test. 】
[Leave some suspense, it is indeed a technique that has been used all over the world. 】
[Learned, learned. But that said, this book suddenly inserted this plot to lead to the next copy? Then I scolded him wrongly? 】
Ling Yao regained his composure: What's the plot? What new copy? This is important information!
[No, this insertion is indeed very strange! What about Yin Ruobing? She has no previous appointment with the protagonist, and has no cooperation with Shenlong Academy. Her current behavior has nothing to do with the dungeon of Liuchuan. She is inexplicably written to go to the Ling family. Who can blame this plot? ? 】
[Ah, could it be a door-to-door marriage proposal... Forget it, I'll embarrass myself if I tell you. WTF. 】
[Although I think her character is a true palace, she had almost no interaction with the protagonist before! The hero saved the beauty for a little while, and drank tea alone for a little while. The two of them haven’t seen each other for three years! This little thing can attract the attention of a beautiful woman, and even lead her to the protagonist's hometown. Am I still single now? ! 】
[Dear old pigeon, wake up. The most critical issue is that you are not the protagonist. 】
[Yes, what if this author just likes to write about beautiful women who hate to get married, and makes pointless comments? 】
[Actually, there are quite a lot of female characters who are being criticized without thinking. Although after watching it too much, I feel it is very low-level. 】
Ling Yao, who was "listening" carefully, had question marks written all over his forehead:
Ling family? Yin Ruobing? Why did these two people who couldn't fight get together?
And listening to this posture... why does it look like Ling Linhan's next copy will be the "Ling Family"? ?
[Didn’t the protagonist say that he would not leave Rukawa? Are you going back to Ling's house later? 】
As soon as Ling Yao sent out this "news", he felt a little regretful.
Although Ling Linhan said personally that he didn't want to leave, Bao Buqi didn't tell these complainers about that [no such person found]!
Maybe after people heard this, they still felt that they were baffled.
But...it was obvious that he was overthinking:
[Hey, that’s what I say, but is it possible that the protagonist’s highest state in this life is to become the king of Rukawa? That’s too low! 】
[Even if the protagonist really "doesn't want to leave," isn't this plot development going to make him "have to leave" in a different way? Liuchuan really has no future. It would be best to just throw down the burden and leave a few times. If you stay there for a long time, you may develop into a Xiangxi style farming story. 】
[Actually, I think if it really has the style of Xiangxi, it seems to be quite exciting... What about poison, driving away corpses, female ghosts, balabala]
[Besides, the five-year agreement has not been completed yet! How could the author let go of the villain 01! 】
Ling Yao: ...the protagonist’s mouth is deceptive. Fortunately, he thought it was easy to pull out the flag, but in the end he couldn't escape.
However, even if the "plot" is constantly changing, Ling Linhan finally leaves Liuchuan and returns to the Ling family. He is not worried that the other party will suddenly become hostile to him again and start a fight to the death.
After all, the external environment may change suddenly, but people will not change without warning.
Now that Ling Linhan knows that she was taken advantage of in the first place, she will not continue to stupidly use her as a knife.
Oh, except for the little kid who suddenly lost his memory.
...That’s not how bloody dramas are written!
And if it doesn’t work, just fight! Could it be that he could still lose?
In short, he was more worried about the reason why Ling Linhan "had to leave" than Ling Linhan and himself were fighting again.
Is Shenlong Academy putting pressure on you? No, this possibility is very low. After all, if Shenlong Academy really does this, it will obviously break up with the "Heavenly Favored One".
Something happened to Ling Linhan's relatives? But if it's just such a small thing, although it can make Ling Linhan "go home", it may not be able to form a "copy", let alone lead to the Ice Spirit Fairy Yin Ruobing of the Purple Immortal Pavilion.
So...a foreign invasion?
This possibility is the greatest. This is also what Ling Linhan is most worried about. Because this may affect the lives of the master’s family—his relatives.
"It seems that after things here are over, I have to go back again..."
Ling Yao murmured to himself, turned over and closed his eyes.
"Tomorrow's prophecy ceremony...well...will be over soon..."
