"Sister Lingxi, smile."
In a remote town, a little boy stood at the pier, making faces at the girl next to him.
The girl looked away from the bamboo slip in her hand, raised her beautiful eyes to glance at the boy, and then withdrew her gaze, without any change in the expression on her face.
The little boy pursed his lips in frustration.
This was already the 237th time. If he hadn't been determined, he would have been defeated by repeated failures.
"you are boring?"
The girl called "Sister Lingxi" made a pleasant voice and said lightly.
"Of course."
The little boy sat cross-legged on the wooden board of the dock, looked at a ship sailing away in the distance, and answered.
"Not everyone is like Sister Lingxi, who can read "Basic Explanation of Spiritual Array" for a whole day."
"You should learn it too."
The girl moved her somewhat stiff neck and said to him.
When it comes to memory and learning ability, the guy next to her is more talented than her.
"Don't be kidding. It's not like you don't know. I've never been interested in such troublesome things."
The boy stretched and leaned on a wooden post.
For him, happiness is the most important thing, and troublesome things must be thrown aside.
"Not trying to make progress."
The girl imitated Aunt Jing and said softly in a still green voice.
But after she finished speaking, she only saw the teasing smile on the boy's face, presumably because he saw where the imitation was.
The girl's cheeks blushed slightly and she quickly looked away.
It's so embarrassing to be discovered by this guy every time.
At this time, the boy's chest lit up slightly. He put his hand in, and a white jade token appeared in his hand.
The jade plaque kept flashing white light and never stopped.
"Let's go."
The boy stood up from the board and dusted himself off.
"Aunt Jing is calling us."
The girl put away the bamboo slips in her hand, turned around and walked towards the back of the pier without saying hello to the boy.
Seeing this, the boy smiled and shrugged.
It's been more than two years, and this girl still hasn't changed.
He turned back to look at the calm sea. The sunlight hit the water, casting a crystal white light and sparkling waves.
"It's been almost three years..."
"Hey, come on."
Hearing the girl's faint voice, Bai Ye turned around and saw the girl standing not far away, looking at him like this, with no intention of leaving first.
Bai Ye smiled.
Walking towards her position, he knew a long time ago that his sister was a pure tsundere.
"Let's go."
…
"You won't come back until I call you. Did you encounter something interesting again?"
Just as they entered the house, a voice that was familiar to both Lingxi and Bai Ye came over. Bai Ye raised his head, with a black hair and a pretty face. A gentle and beautiful woman stood in front of the two of them, looking at them with a smile.
It's like a mother waiting for her child to come home.
"It's him. He has been sitting on the shore watching the sea and wasting time."
Lingxi pointed at Bai Ye beside him and said lightly.
This look is not at all as cute as when she ignored him.
"It's not like you want to go there to read."
Bai Ye muttered softly.
"Okay, wash your hands first, then come over and eat."
Looking at the two people, Qing Yanjing smiled slightly, and the smile contained a lot of warmth.
Bai Ye and Ling Xi walked towards the place where they washed their hands. On the way, the two of them exchanged words with each other from time to time.
Looking at this scene, Qing Yanjing nodded quietly in her heart.
I really can't tell that these two little guys had awkward personalities three years ago. It seems that I have been qualified as a "guardian" during this time.
only……
"Almost there."
Qing Yanjing cast her gaze out the window and towards the northwest of the house.
Even though she had tried her best to prolong her return to the clan, this day was inevitable and she could not escape it.
The distance from that place was not far away. She didn't know what she would face if she went back, but she thought it wouldn't be too good.
However, in order to protect the father and son, she could only do that.
"Aunt Jing, let's eat."
When Qing Yanjing came back to her senses, she saw Bai Ye standing there with a calm face, looking towards her.
Looking at him, Qing Yanjing couldn't help feeling a little warm in her heart.
I am really grateful to these two children for allowing her to experience the feeling of being a mother in these few years.
"Um."
Qing Yanjing nodded and led him towards the dining table.
…
At night, the moonlight slowly falls with its beauty, shining on every corner of this small border town.
The light on the pier is particularly shining, and the white light reflects on the sparkling water, illuminating the surrounding environment one by one.
Quiet and beautiful, it always makes people feel happy.
Maybe this is why Qing Yanjing chose to settle down with her two children for a while after coming here.
Bai Ye sat on the window, looking at the sea in front of him from a distance, his eyes lost.
"What are you thinking about?"
Lingxi was wearing a nightgown and standing behind him. She had just extinguished the candle and was getting ready to go to bed when she saw this guy sitting in front of the window in a daze.
The cool night breeze slowly blew in, adding a bit of comfort to the hot summer night. Lingxi came behind Bai Ye, wanting to see what he was looking at.
"Guess, I'll give you a reward if you guess right."
Bai Ye turned around, looked at Lingxi's pretty face, and showed her signature smile,
"boring."
Lingxi turned around and left, going to his bed.
I don't know if it was to ease the relationship between the two little guys, but Qing Yanjing often assigned them to the same room when they were very young.
There are two beds in the room, the one on the left is Gui's sister Lingxi, and the one on the right is where Bai Ye is.
But Bai Ye didn't quite understand it. She didn't know why. About half a year ago, Lingxi installed tulle on her bed. The reason Lingxi gave at the time was because it was "good-looking", but Bai Ye always felt that Something is not quite right.
However, he thought for a long time and couldn't think of the reason, so he gave up the problem.
Giving up was the first thing Qing Yanjing taught Bai Ye.
Sometimes giving up is more important than persisting.
“I’ve learned a lot in these three years.”
Looking at the moon in the sky during the white night, the six-year-old child is remembering the past.
This look seems a bit inconsistent.
"Bingyu, this is today, right?"
The boy asked softly, knowing that no matter how quietly he spoke, someone would always hear him.
"yes."
A cold and clear female voice sounded in Bai Ye's heart.
"Well, that must be very uncomfortable."
A long time ago, he learned about the hidden dangers of his body from Bingyu's mouth.
The ancestral lineage is powerful, and it is an extraordinary talent that is rare to see in millions of years.
However, strength will mean a price, God's gift will be accompanied by God's punishment, and excessive benefits will always have excessive disadvantages.
In the bloodline inheritance of the Imperial Crystal Ice Phoenix, it was recorded how the Ice Spirit Emperor from ancient times climbed to the top step by step, so Bingyu knew a lot about his story.
And in Bai Ye's atavistic bloodline, he also has the same problem as him.
The Ice Spirit Tribe is called the Ice Spirit Tribe because of the ice spirit veins contained in the blood of the children of this tribe.
This kind of spiritual vein makes them very handy when cultivating ice attribute spiritual power, and the stronger the spiritual vein, the more outstanding this effect will be.
The same goes for the ancestral veins in Bai Ye's body.
However, if it is too full, it will overflow. Once such attribute talent exceeds a certain limit, it will have backlash on itself. Such backlash will cause great pain to the body from the inside out.
As one grows up, the body's spiritual veins will continue to grow, and the pain will accumulate bit by bit. One day, it will reach a point where it cannot be added any more.
The former Ice Spirit Emperor narrowly escaped death more than once because of such backlash. Bingyu could feel the pain one by one from the perspective of his ancestor.
She had hoped countless times that Bai Ye's ancestral veins would not have such side effects, but now it seemed that this was just an extravagant wish.
"You can ask that woman for help."
Bingyu said crisply.
Although, she doesn't really like Qing Yanjing.
Bai Ye shook his head.
"Why, are you afraid of causing trouble to her? With your relationship, she will definitely agree to such a request."
Where Bai Ye couldn't see her, the beauty frowned slightly and Bingyu said slowly.
Bai Ye still shook his head.
"Why exactly?"
Bingyu's tone was somewhat doubtful. The little guy had a lot of trust in Qing Yanjing. It shouldn't be to hide his secret, right?
"I do not want to say."
"You have to say it."
Bai Ye was slightly silent, Bingyu waited for a reply, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
After a long time, the boy's voice gently sounded in Bingyu's ears, breaking the silence.
"Because Bingyu doesn't want Aunt Jing to know your existence."
Hearing the boy's words, Bingyu was stunned.
This was the reason she told the boy three years ago. At that time, the boy was like a blank sheet of paper that didn't understand anything.
But after three years of traveling, this reason was still in the boy's mind, and it sounded like he already understood its meaning.
Bingyu's heart seemed to be filled with a warm current. This feeling was very complicated, including a special touch and the relief of taking care of her children.
"I have no problem, you go find her."
Although it was very warm, Bingyu still said it coldly.
With her current abilities, she couldn't provide much help to Bai Ye. Choosing Qing Yanjing was the best way.
Bai Ye shook his head.
"Don't be so stubborn."
Bingyu was a little angry when Bai Ye refused again. Could it be that if Bai Ye could keep his promise, couldn't she try to take a gamble? Don't underestimate the maternal love of a female bird that has been single for several years.
"That's too late."
"What?"
Bingyu was shocked, but the next moment, Bai Ye told her the answer.
"It's really, really uncomfortable."
The boy smiled, then curled up.
