As it turned out, what followed was even more outrageous, making them wonder if they hadn't yet broken free from the tradition.

So much so that I'm hallucinating again?!

The usually cold-faced Celestial Venerable Tianqi looked at the girl with tenderness in his eyes, and even raised his voice to say, "Tianning... I've been looking for you for so long... I thought I'd never see you again..."

Everyone: "..."

Accustomed to the Immortal Venerable's usual disdainful attitude, no one dared to utter a sound for a moment.

After witnessing another side of the Immortal Venerable, won't I be silenced afterwards?

"Tianning, come back with me. I've become very strong over the years! No one will dare to bully you again!"

Sitting in this position for too long, he even felt that life was meaningless. If it weren't for that little bit of obsession in his heart, he would rather be dead.

Now that he has someone to protect, the five-thousand-year-old tyrant is as happy as a young man experiencing first love, and after speaking, he obediently waits for the other party's reply.

The goddess Lingyue's face was extremely ugly!

No way! If this is an ambitious scoundrel, he'll definitely seize this opportunity to climb the ranks!

"Immortal Venerable..."

"Shut up!"

Tianqi didn't even glance at her; his eyes were only on Tianning from beginning to end.

He just wanted to hear her answer!

But Tian Ning's answer was destined to disappoint him.

As someone capable of creating countless identities for himself, Tian Ning blurted out, "You've mistaken me for someone else, Immortal Venerable. The person you're referring to should be my great-great-great-ancestor."

Tianqi: "???"

Tian Ning said earnestly, "I am just an ordinary descendant of the Tian family. As for the person you described who is beautiful, gentle, dignified, pure and kind... that is naturally my great-great-grandmother!"

Everyone: "..."

The Immortal Venerable hasn't said anything yet!

"You lied to me!" Tianqi frowned, his face full of hurt. "You're still blaming me for abandoning you back then, aren't you? But I had no choice. You didn't want to come with me. I was too weak back then; I was no match for that old beast..."

“No, you’ve definitely mistaken him,” Tianning said bluntly when he saw that he didn’t believe him. “If my great-great-great-ancestor were still alive, he would be five thousand years old and his strength would definitely be very great.”

"But look at me, I'm only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and I'm not even twenty years old yet. How could I possibly be the person you're looking for?"

What she said makes perfect sense.

"Liu Yi!"

Tianqi called out a name, clearly already somewhat shaken.

The girl before them was indeed only at the Foundation Establishment stage, just slightly stronger than when they first met. The similarity in their Foundation Establishment stage was striking…

It's as if five thousand years have passed, and the past Tianning is standing right in front of me!

The male cultivator called Liu Yi immediately stepped forward. After carefully examining Tian Ning's face, he respectfully said:

"Immortal Venerable, her bone structure does indeed suggest she is only of marriageable age, while the person you are looking for should be five thousand years old. She... is not..."

Liu Yi uttered the last three words with trepidation.

The Immortal Venerable has been searching for his white moonlight for so long, and now that his hopes have been dashed, he won't hold a grudge against everyone...

Yes, if she were still alive, she wouldn't be so small, nor so weak...

"You may leave."

Although there was disappointment in Tianqi's eyes, she still managed to control her emotions.

He didn't know why, but he just didn't want to show his bad side to the child.
