"What's going on? Why are you so emotionally unstable?" Jasmine suddenly asked. She could sense that Yun Che's emotional turmoil was unprecedentedly intense. She could even clearly hear the "thump, thump" sound of Yun Che's heart beating violently.
Cangyun Continent… 1999 Xuan Year… Ten years old… Su Ling’er… Scars… Same name… Similar face… And the exact same words…
All these things were mixed up in Yun Che's mind, causing his soul to tremble violently, because all of them were pointing to one possibility... He didn't care about scaring the girl, and immediately reached out to lift up her skirt and underwear. At the top of her white right knee, he saw two bright red moles side by side...
“Ling’er…you are Ling’er…you are Ling’er…you are Ling’er…you are Ling’er!!”
The moment he saw the two small moles, Yun Che's last emotional defense line completely collapsed. His whole body was filled with hot blood, and he almost fainted on the spot! Something in his heart and soul was violently stirring. Acid, astringent, bitter, and painful... swarmed up together, and his eyes were covered with misty tears in an instant. In the midst of his emotional collapse, he hugged the girl all of a sudden, hugging her tightly, as if he was hugging his entire world.
“Ah…” The girl, who had no idea that Yun Che’s heart was already in turmoil, was shocked by his sudden action and change of mood. However, she did not feel any repulsion at all for Yun Che’s sudden hug. After being stupid for a while, she said weakly: “Brother Yun Che, you’re hugging me so hard that it hurts, oo…”
At this moment, every word of the girl was like a dreamlike heavenly sound to him. Everything about her was closely connected to his soul and lifeblood. Hearing her voice, Yun Che almost panicked and relaxed his arms. But he was afraid that he would scare her, so he quickly loosened his arms. However, his hands still gently held her thin shoulders, as if he was afraid that if he didn't hold her, she would disappear from his sight.
She is Ling'er...my Ling'er...
So...is all this really just an illusion brought about by the evil god?
Even if it's an illusion! As long as I can see my Ling'er again, even if it's an illusion, I'm willing to never wake up again...
"Brother Yun Che, why are you crying all of a sudden?" The girl was confused, but when she saw the tears on Yun Che's face, her eyes were filled with heartache. She reached out her hand, met his gaze, and gently wiped away the tears on his face. She must not know how precious every tear of Yun Che was, and now it was like a spring flowing for her.
“I… I’m fine, it’s just… there’s just sand in my eyes.” Yun Che shook his head, making poor excuses, and tried hard to hold back his tears. In this world, the only person who could make him lose control of his emotions so completely was Su Ling’er… Even though, in his mind at this moment, all this was just an illusion. Because Su Ling’er couldn’t really appear before his eyes. His Ling’er had died in his arms, and he had buried her in that bamboo forest with his own hands.
“Ah? Will that hurt? Um… Can I help Brother Yun Che blow on it? When I was very young, sand got stuck in my eyes. Mother blew on my eyes for a while, and they were completely healed.”
As the girl spoke, she pouted her pink lips... The Su Ling'er in front of him was so innocent and carefree, with bright and clear eyes. Yes, now she was still under the care and doting of her family, and had not experienced the vicissitudes of life. She did not know what sadness, worry, hatred, and suffering were... The Su Ling'er in his memory, with her eyes that were always sad and lonely, made him feel pain in his heart every time he thought of her.
“It’s okay. The sand is gone. Look, it’s healed.” Yun Che blinked at her vigorously, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: “The most important thing now is the injury on Ling’er’s foot… It will heal soon and it won’t hurt at all.”
Yun Che once again held up the girl’s bruised calf, and the gentle profound energy along with the Sky Poison Pearl’s purifying power gently flowed into her, moistening her bruises bit by bit… Then, he took out another medicine bottle and applied the ointment inside to her calf and ankle… He then changed to another small bottle and applied the ointment inside to the two symmetrical scars on her feet.
Throughout the entire process, Yun Che's movements were very gentle, as if he was touching a beautiful but fragile crystal doll. This minor injury, which could hardly be called an injury, was not worth mentioning for Yun Che's medical skills, but in order to prevent Su Ling'er from feeling even a trace of pain, he concentrated all his energy, and every movement was concentrated with all his heart and soul. After the entire process, he was more tired than saving a dying patient, but he was happy to do it.
In less than half an hour, the bruises on Su Ling'er's ankles and calves had miraculously disappeared. Even the scars on her feet had faded a lot. It would be completely gone in three days at most. Su Ling'er tried to move her feet, and then exclaimed, "Wow! It doesn't hurt anymore! It doesn't hurt at all! Brother Yun Che, you are really amazing!"
The girl looked at him with twinkling eyes. Her admiration for Yun Che increased sharply.
Yun Che used his profound energy to drive away the dust on Su Ling'er's shoes and socks, and then carefully put them back on Su Ling'er's feet. Su Ling'er did not resist, did not refuse, and was not even embarrassed. In her heart, there was only a warm joy, and a strange feeling that she could not explain... Even she herself did not know why.
"Ling'er! Ling'er...where are you? Ling'er..."
Suddenly, anxious shouts were heard from a distance. It was Su Ling'er's name that was being shouted.
Yun Che heard it before Su Ling'er did. His brows twitched and he glanced over to see a middle-aged man walking towards them in a hurry. He looked panicked, his hair was messy, and his clothes were a little messy, but one could still glimpse the temperament of a superior who was intimidating without being angry from his face.
He is... Ling'er's father?
The middle-aged man walked quickly and soon approached. Upon hearing his voice, Su Ling'er's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "Daddy... It's Daddy's voice!"
She stood up all of a sudden and trotted towards the middle-aged man, but after running a few steps, she looked back at Yun Che and stopped again. She stood there and waved vigorously at the middle-aged man: “Daddy! I’m here, I’m here!!”
“Ling’er!” The middle-aged man was overjoyed and rushed over as fast as he could. He grabbed Su Ling’er’s shoulders and said nervously, “That’s great, that’s great… Ling’er, why did you run so far away? Are you injured anywhere? Is there anyone trying to arrest you?”
“Don’t worry, Daddy. Although there were bad guys, it was Brother Yun Che who saved me. Brother Yun Che is really amazing. Not only did he beat those bad guys away in one go, he also made the place where I fell not hurt at all.”
The middle-aged man was thinking about comforting Su Ling'er, and when he saw her, all his attention was focused on her. Only then did he notice Yun Che's presence. He took a step forward and said with gratitude, "My dear little brother, thank you for saving my daughter. Su is really grateful."
With Yun Che's arrogant nature, he would normally deal with a middle-aged man, let alone a respected elder, without changing his expression. But the person in front of him was Su Ling'er's father, so it was completely different. He quickly returned the greeting and said, "Senior Su, you are too polite. Ling'er is kind and lovely. Anyone who sees her will help her. It's just a small favor for me."
From the middle-aged man’s expression, Yun Che saw a deep concern for Su Ling’er. At least, his fatherly love for Su Ling’er was pure and without any impurities.
Yun Che's modesty impressed the middle-aged man. He smiled and said, "I must be very happy to receive such praise from you, little brother." At this time, he noticed Xia Qingyue lying there quietly. Although she was just lying there quietly, she still had a fairy-like appearance that made people intoxicated. The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then he immediately came back to his senses and asked, "Little brother, is this your friend? Judging from her face, is she seriously ill?"
Yun Che nodded slightly: "This is my wife. She has caught a cold and her vitality has been severely damaged. She may be in a coma for a long time."
"So that's how it is..." The middle-aged man nodded, and in his heart he was amazed: the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, what a perfect couple! Their backgrounds must be extraordinary. Especially this woman, how could an ordinary family raise such a fairy-like daughter. This man looks only seventeen or eighteen years old, but his profound energy has reached the spiritual realm. He must be a disciple or even an heir from a top sect...
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man said: "Little brother, you must have come from outside, right? Do you have a place to stay now? If you don't mind, how about staying at our Taisu Sect for a few days? It will also allow Su to express his gratitude."
Yun Che’s heart moved. He glanced at the unconscious Xia Qingyue, then glanced at Su Ling’er, and said, “This junior really needs a place to stay to heal my wife’s injuries… In this case, I will trouble you for your kindness, Senior.”
"Hahahaha, you don't have to be polite, little brother. Compared to the great favor you gave me in saving my daughter, this is nothing." The middle-aged man laughed gently, "By the way, my last name is Su Hengshan, little brother Yun, please come in."
"Brother Yun Che is going home with us? That's great, that's great, that's great!!" Su Ling'er jumped up excitedly. Su Hengshan was somewhat puzzled by her unusually happy look. He smiled dotingly and said, "Brother Yun is not only our benefactor, but also our guest now. You have to learn to be polite. It's not very nice to shout like this."
“Hehe! Daddy is so nagging. Brother Yun Che is the best person. He won’t blame me.” As she spoke, Su Ling’er ran over and grabbed Yun Che’s hand. She said with a grin, “Brother Yun Che, you agreed to go home with us. You can’t run away halfway.”
“Okay!” Yun Che smiled and reached out to touch the tip of Su Ling’er’s nose… He really wanted to know what kind of family Su Ling’er was born into and grew up in.
Su Hengshan was confused for a moment... In terms of time, Ling'er and Brother Yun had only been together for at most fifteen minutes, so how could they be so familiar with each other? And looking at Ling'er's appearance, she usually didn't like to meet strangers, but she seemed to like Brother Yun very much... It was really strange.
Yun Che picked up Xia Qingyue and followed Su Hengshan towards the “Tai Su Clan” where Su Ling’er grew up.
