Ming Qiao was a pitiable little sprout in the cultivation world, born sickly and without a mother. His father left to seek medicine to cure his illness.
Little Ming Qiao sat on a door stoop, ...
Chapter 138
Lingyan also wore a red wedding dress. She held Mingqiao on her lap. The two of them, big and small, wore clothes of the same color, which was pleasing to the eyes just by looking at them.
"It doesn't matter. If he doesn't come, forget it."
Lingyan had no ill will towards this uncle, and she would not feel much regret even if he did not show up today.
"Grandma, he said he would still look after me."
Ming Qiao leaned against her grandmother obediently, tilted her soft little face up, and talked to her grandmother: "Next time I see him, I'll bring him to you."
"good."
Lingyan smiled, took out the wedding candy from her pocket and fed it to Mingqiao.
She acted out the whole thing and even brought wedding candy.
Mingqiao's cheeks bulged as she ate the sweet wedding candy.
He curled his eyes due to the sweetness.
Just when he was almost done with the candy, his teeth suddenly started to hurt.
The pain only made him frown.
"What's wrong?"
She happened to be reading his spiritual words, so she held up his little face and asked.
Ming Qiao shook her head and swallowed the broken candy: "It's okay."
He felt it carefully and found that his tooth didn't hurt anymore.
A big and a small person sat in a sedan chair, pulled by a spirit beast, and arrived at the newly built Lintian Sect.
The Zhuling people are indeed a well-known group of people who pamper their cubs.
Ming Qiao said he wanted a Lintian Sect, so they really built a Lintian Sect that was no less powerful than the one in Cangxuan Continent in the shortest time.
On the huge plaque, there are majestic characters written.
When you look at characters like this, you can tell that the writer must be a great writer.
On both sides of the sect gate, there are stone lions with staring eyes.
This lion looks like it is made of stone, but when Ming Qiao looks at it, he always feels that the lion seems to be moving.
In addition, a formation was being set up at the sect’s entrance.
"Qiao Qiao, after some time, this place will be completely complete."
The tribesmen who were waiting at the door took Mingqiao out of the sedan chair.
They picked up Ming Qiao with a smile and took him to see the new Lintian Sect.
Ming Qiao was extremely satisfied with the Lintian Sect in front of him.
“How impressive!”
He looked at every scene and object of Lintian Sect, and the more he looked, the more he liked it: "Uncle, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, as long as you are happy."
If it can make the cubs happy, let alone building a Lintian Sect, even if they build a few more, the Zhuling people will do it without blinking an eye.
Many people came to the sect gate.
This time, even though it was the first time the sect was open to the public, and Lingyan was getting "married", their newly built sect was quite lively.
Lingsi also came over.
Qinglan and Juan came, but the adults in their family didn't come.
You Qing accompanied Ming Qiao, and he also wore red to suit the occasion. However, his handsome face was too cold and hard, and even in red, he did not look as festive as Ming Qiao.
There are so many people, the scene looks lively.
Mingqiao kept looking around. He wanted to see the uncle, but he knew in his heart that the uncle would not come.
"Brother, have you seen the uncle?"
"without."
You Qing was also paying attention, but he had not seen the uncle coming all the way until now.
The two of them were chatting, while the members of the Zhuling tribe and Wu Ye were supporting the party.
Shi Ze wanted to join in the fun, but Dalong lived in the treasury and didn't come.
In order to accompany Dalong, he simply decided not to join in the fun.
There were quite a few guests who came to congratulate.
The atmosphere was harmonious when a group of guests standing in the audience suddenly asked a question in an unfriendly manner.
"Now that the Lintian Sect is established, I wonder how many disciples it has?"
This question made Wu Ye on the stage's eyes darken.
"The number of disciples in Lintian Sect will naturally increase. Why do you also want to join my Lintian Sect?"
"Hahaha, of course I won't join. If I were to join, I would join a prestigious sect. When your Lintian Sect has more people, I will consider it."
The other party made no secret of his contempt for the Lintian Sect.
Wu Ye turned his head and asked the person next to him directly: "How did this arrogant idiot get in?"
The person next to him: “…”
The person next to him replied: "He said he came to congratulate."
Wu Ye: "Okay, next time when you welcome guests, be careful and don't let anyone in. Letting people like this in will pollute everyone's eyes."
Wu Ye's disregard and humiliation made the person who had just caused trouble blush.
"How dare you scold me?!"
Wu Ye: "Huh? What's wrong with me scolding you? Come and fight if you don't agree."
When it comes to arrogance, Wu Ye has never lost to anyone.
The guests below didn't make a move. He just sneered and threw out a golden tactic.
"Now that the Lintian Sect is established, it should know the rules between sects."
"I, on behalf of Wukongmen, challenge you to a duel. Will you accept it?"
In the Tianjun Realm, there are competitions between sects. Some of these competitions are spontaneous, while others are passive.
Through their performance in the competitions, the strengths of these sects will be compared and ranked.
Of course, you don’t have to participate in the competition.
However, if they do not respond, from now on they will be regarded as a sect without courage and strength, which will be very detrimental to the sect's reputation.
"Hey, isn't it inappropriate to make a tactical move right after Lin Tianzong was established?"
Wukongmen is an old sect, and it has a very good relationship with the Qin family.
Now, Wukong Sect is using tactics against Lintian Sect, which makes it clear that it is deliberately bullying the Lintian Sect because there is no one in the sect.
As everyone knows, the Zhuling people do not join any sect.
Without the Zhuling Clan, Qingheng and Wu Ye, who had not yet fought in the Tianjun Realm, were just people from the lower realm who had just ascended to the sky in the eyes of outsiders.
Few people are optimistic about their strength.
Someone started to smooth things over: "Today is a good day, everyone should calm down."
"Brother Chen, put away the letter of challenge. Let's have a drink later."
The person who tried to smooth things over knew both sides, but unfortunately, what he said was of no use.
The letter of challenge was floating in the air and the man surnamed Chen did not take it back.
Wu Ye looked up and reached out to take the letter of challenge.
Ming Qiao's face puffed up when he saw this scene. He climbed onto the stage and stood next to his father.
He and Daddy form a united front!
"In half a decade, Wukongmen will be waiting for you."
The declaration of war was accepted, and the man surnamed Chen did not stay long.
He turned and left.
Ming Qiao stood on the stage, looking at his back, and said angrily in a baby voice: "Just wait and see!"
His Lintian Sect will never be afraid!
This chaotic episode caused everyone's mood to change a little.
But fortunately, Wu Ye quickly took control of the situation.
He prepared quite a few procedures, enough to keep everyone from getting bored.
As time passed little by little, in the peaceful sect, Lingyan's auspicious time arrived.
This time, the person who pretended to marry her was a friend of hers.
My friend is a man, but he has always considered himself a girl. He rarely goes out and is a bit like a hermit.
Ling Yan really put in a lot of effort to get him out this time.
The auspicious time has arrived.
The friends Lingyan invited should come out and marry her.
Mingqiao was waiting in the bridal chamber, waiting for this man to come and pick up her grandmother to go to the wedding hall.
He waited for a while, but no one came.
"Grandma, why hasn't anyone come yet?"
Ming Qiao, who was tired of waiting, lay down on his grandmother's lap. He rubbed his little face against her and his voice was unclear, as if he was a little sleepy.
Lingyan rubbed his head and had a guess in his mind.
"Maybe something happened."
She still remembered that she and Qin Bei didn't get married last time.
Although Lingyan didn't say it directly, the smart guy heard it at once.
"Is it the uncle? Is the uncle here to cause trouble?"
Ming Qiao was sleepy one second, but became energetic the next.
He raised his little face instantly, his beautiful eyes sparkling.
"Grandma, let me go take a look!"
Mingqiao wanted to go out and confirm if anything had happened.
He said something to Lingyan, then got up and ran out.
As soon as he ran away, someone came into Lingyan's room.
The other person was wearing a mask, a very ordinary mask, as if he had bought it casually on the street. He walked into the room and stood in front of Ling Yan.
"Is this marriage fake?"
"Well, it's fake."
Lingyan admitted it openly. After she admitted it, she looked at the masked man in front of her with a straightforward gaze.
"Are you here for me?"
The man didn't say anything.
Lingyan raised her eyebrows and continued to stare at the man. Her scrutinizing eyes made the man avoid her gaze.
One of them was sitting and the other was standing.
Ling Yan was certain that this man came for him, so the next step was naturally to confirm his identity.
"Who are you?"
The man still didn't answer.
His silent attitude made Ling Yan more suspicious.
"You don't want me to get married, and you keep stopping me from getting married..."
"If you refuse to tell me the reason, believe it or not, I will get married again?"
After Ling Yan finished his last sentence, the man's expression under the mask changed slightly.
He knew that these marriages were fake, but he still couldn't do it——
Turn a blind eye to these fake marriages.
Ling Yan pressed the issue again and again, but couldn't get anything out of him.
She finally couldn't hold back any longer and stood up and walked over.
She walked closer step by step, and the man stepped back step by step.
After walking a few steps, Ling Yan lost his patience.
She suddenly moved closer and raised her hand to take off the mask.
"Let me see your face."
The man turned sideways and didn't let her pick it.
Seeing this, Ling Yan attacked him directly.
The two men started fighting in the room.
After only three moves, Ling Yan suddenly stopped.
She froze in place, as if she recognized something.
“Xie Jing?!”
She called out the name in disbelief, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment.
The man didn't take off his mask and didn't speak.
But Lingyan recognized it.
After the name was called out, the man's body suddenly froze.
He moved his lips, wanting to deny it, but Lingyan's hand reached out again.
He wanted to hide, but Ling Yan's face changed and he slapped him in the face.
He received a solid slap in the face.
After Lingyan slapped him, he continued to take off his mask.
This time, she successfully took off the mask.
Under the mask, a familiar handsome face came into her sight.
The person she thought had been dead for many years appeared in front of her alive.
At this moment, Ling Yan felt both sad and happy.
"It's really you."
Lingyan's hands were shaking slightly. When her fingertips touched this familiar face, tears rolled down her cheeks unconsciously: "So you are not dead."
"You're not dead, why don't you come to me? You hate me, right?"
"You hate me for bringing disaster to you, and you don't want to see me."
As Lingyan spoke each word, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
Xie Jingquan saw her pain.
"no."
Xie Jing's voice returned to normal. He used a voice that Ling Yan was familiar with and explained in a low voice: "I don't hate you."
"I should have died that year, but someone took me away and saved me."
"He said that since my whole family had died, I was very suitable to follow him in cultivation."
"He asked me to cultivate the ruthless path."
"I followed him and practiced for many years. I don't know if it was because I was unlucky, but he died later."
"He sent me to the Tianjun Realm, and I have been living here ever since."
"I thought you were gone."
As Xie Jing spoke, his voice became hoarse.
"I met Qiao Qiao and I saw his little flower."
The little flower on Ming Qiao's butt made Xie Jing's ruthless heart waver for the first time.
He learned from Ming Qiao that his children were all fine. He also learned that his enemy was here.
He started to investigate his enemies.
He didn't know how to face Ming Qiao, his children, and even Ling Yan who appeared later.
The person who led him in spiritual practice said that the ruthless way cannot give rise to any emotions.
Since he has chosen this path, he has to remain single until the end.
He was ready to be single, but when he heard the spiritual words about marriage—
Lost my mind.
He didn't want her to get married.
Xie Jing whispered about all his experiences, his struggles, and his torment.
At the end, he raised his eyes and looked at Ling Yan, his eyes full of pain: "Ah Yan, if I don't practice the ruthless way, how can I take revenge?"
If he practices the ruthless way, he will lose all his family members.
Ling Yan: “…”
Lingyan raised the back of her hand and wiped away her tears.
She looked at Xie Jing expressionlessly and asked him a soul-searching question.
"If you can't even see me get married, why are you practicing the ruthless way?"
Xie Jing: “…”
Xie Jing was stunned.
Ling Yan continued, "There are three thousand great ways. In addition to the ruthless way, there are other ways."
"Are you crazy to leave your home behind?"
Every word of Ling Yan was an attack, without a trace of warmth in his words.
But Xie Jing heard the struggle in his eyes and it all dissipated.
They looked at each other, and finally, Xie Jing seemed to have finally figured something out, and he took a step forward.
"Yes, I have another way..."
Apart from the ruthless path, he always has other ways to go.
If he gives up his home and his wife, they will no longer belong to him.
This realization made Xie Jing's heart, which had been tormented for many days, clear up.
"Ayan, I'm sorry."
"You should apologize."
Ling Yan was never a delicate and docile girl. The fact that she gave birth to a troublesome eldest son like Xie Qingyun and a tough second son like Qingheng showed that her temper was not particularly good.
My lover went to practice the ruthless way, but she still didn't see me after practicing it. Although there was a reason of revenge, it still made people angry.
"There should be no rule in this world that says you have to accept an apology."
"I don't accept your apology. Please go away. I need to calm down on my own."
Ling Yan immediately ordered them to leave.
Although her face looked expressionless at the moment, her emotions were still fluctuating and she really hadn't calmed down.
She didn't want to see Xie Jing very much.
She knew that Xie Jing's personality was a little weird.
Just like when she pursued Xie Jing, but this guy still didn't agree after pursuing him for a long time.
Later, she quit and said she wanted to leave with someone else. Only when she forced the man into it did he confess his feelings to her.
After many years, Ling Yan forced people out again.
But this time, she was not as good-tempered as before.
"Ayan."
Xie Jing wanted to say something, but Ling Yan didn't want to listen.
"Are you going to leave or not? If not, I will beat you until you leave!"
Lingyan started pushing the person as she spoke. She pushed the person to the door, and seeing that the person was still standing there like a pillar, she couldn't help but kicked him.
"Walk!"
Ling Yan was rushing around, and Xie Jing looked at her angry expression and thought that she really didn't want to see him.
"Okay, I'll go first."
Xie Jing pursed his lips and said, "I'll come see you again when you calm down."
After Xie Jing finished speaking, he flew away.
Before leaving, perhaps his mind had become a little clearer.
He hugged Lingyan despite her resistance.
After a hug, he disappeared on the spot.
Ling Yan's face became even uglier as he looked at the missing figure.
They were pulling each other here, and not far away, the little boy in red clothes was dumbfounded.
He rubbed his eyes hard, suspecting that he had made a mistake.
Standing in this place and at this angle, he could clearly see the door.
He looked at the man who was hugging his grandmother at the door. Although he only saw his back and profile, the more he looked, the more he felt that he looked like an uncle.
"wrong."
The doubtful kid stood there, muttering, "Uncle has never seen grandma."
How could he hug his grandmother!
Mingqiao looked at her grandmother, the only one left at the door. Her eyes were red and she seemed reluctant to let anyone go.
This scene was even more confusing for Ming Qiao.
Grandma said that she only has grandpa in her heart.
She will not find a stepfather for her mother and uncle.
Now...it seems that the situation has changed.
Ming Qiao stood there until his legs became numb, and then he calmed down a little.
He shook his head, forced himself to calm down, then walked forward to check.
"grandmother!"
He called grandma, but he walked with a limp.
When Lingyan heard his voice, she came back to her senses from her previous emotions.
"Jojo."
She calmed down and looked at Ming Qiao: "What's wrong with your leg?"
"My legs are numb."
When Mingqiao’s legs felt numb in the past, he would stand there and call for someone to massage his legs.
This time he didn't call for help, but continued walking unsteadily.
"Grandma, did you cry? Your eyes are red."
"No, grandma was blinded by the wind."
Lingyan didn't want to reveal her emotional problems in front of her little grandson.
She made up a lie and then picked Mingqiao up.
She carried Mingqiao into the house and pinched his chubby legs.
"Grandma, there is no way to get married. Your friend is gone."
"Yes, I understand."
Lingyan's tone was calm, she knew it was Xie Jing who did it.
"Grandma, is the uncle here?"
Seeing that grandma didn't speak up, Ming Qiao hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Was this accident caused by uncle?"
Ling Yan lowered his eyes, paused for a few seconds, and nodded slightly.
She didn't deliberately hide the fact that Xie Jing had been there.
After all, this man is not only her husband, but also the father of her child and Mingqiao's grandfather.
Ming Qiao's heart skipped a beat when he heard that it was really an uncle.
Uncle, grandma.
He thought about his uncle and then about his grandmother, and he felt that not only his legs were numb, but his heart was numb as well.
"Grandma, how was your meeting with the uncle?"
"Not very good."
Lingyan couldn't help but blurt out.
After she finished speaking, she realized that something was wrong, so she changed her words and said, "It's okay."
"The adults are chatting, don't worry about it."
Ling Yan hadn't figured out what was going on between her and Xie Jing yet. She didn't know how to talk to the little guy, so she simply changed the subject.
Ming Qiao nodded: "Okay."
He stopped asking.
He obediently let his grandmother massage his legs, and as she did so, he looked at her eagerly.
Lingyan was looked at by him with such a little look that she felt it was impossible not to see it.
After being stared at for a while, Ling Yan said, "You are allowed to ask one last question."
Ming Qiao: “!”
Ming Qiao immediately asked, "Grandma, were the last and this weddings ruined by Uncle just for you?"
I have to say, Mingqiao’s little brain is very useful.
After seeing Baobao, he suddenly had many thoughts in his mind.
Lingyan said that he was allowed to ask a question.
So, Lingyan answered this question.
She hummed and admitted it.
Ming Qiao: “…”
Ming Qiao sniffed: "I was just being sentimental!"
He thought that the uncle did it for him.
He thought that the uncle was so nice to him because of their friendship as beggars.
It turns out that the uncle’s goal is to be his grandfather.
"You're not being sentimental."
Lingyan couldn't bear to see her child being hurt, so she pinched the child's chubby legs and then pinched his chubby face: "He did it partly for you."
"He protected you before because you were Qiao Qiao."
Even if she was not there, Xie Jing would not let anyone bully his own grandson.
Ming Qiao still lacks confidence.
"Uncle doesn't like me very much now. I was kidnapped, fell off a cliff, and collapsed on the street, but he didn't care about me."
Ling Yan: “…”
Lingyan thought about the drama her little grandson was busy with, hesitated for a long time, and finally told the truth.
"Qiao Qiao, is there a possibility that he doesn't care about you because he can see that you are acting?"
"But grandma's marriage was also fake!"
Ling Yan: “…”
Lingyan was speechless.
The uncle's double standard behavior made the cub, who missed him, look sullen and said that he would bear the grudge for a while.
"Okay, let's change our clothes and go out for dinner."
The purpose of the fake marriage was achieved and the person was lured out.
Lingyan took off her wedding dress and stopped acting out the drama.
She and Ming Qiao changed all their clothes.
When I walked out of the room, someone came to ask, "Is anyone here?"
Ling Yan responded: "Let's talk about it later. Qiao Qiao is hungry and wants to eat."
Ming Qiao: “?”
Ming Qiao's face was confused, but he was not very hungry.
Lingyan used Mingqiao as a shield to temporarily block other people's questions.
After dinner, Ling Yan still didn't say much.
She found another excuse and hid away.
Lingyan's abnormal behavior puzzled Qingheng and Wuye.
The night is dark, and the dim light in the bedroom is warm and cozy.
Mingqiao was wearing pajamas and lying on the bed.
He didn't sleep with his brother tonight, but slept with his father and mother.
Qingheng and Wuye, who had also packed up, changed into pajamas. The two adults looked at each other and realized that something was wrong tonight, not only Lingyan, but also their son.
These two, one big and one small, seemed to be holding back on something.
"Qiao Qiao, tell me, what happened?"
Qingheng picked up his lying son and asked gently.
Ming Qiao is a person who can't keep secrets.
He pursed his lips, and under his mother's gaze, he still said, "Mom, you're going to have a stepfather."
The author has something to say:
