Yunzhou, Anhua City

Cao Ying received Lin Ying's message and rushed over from Zhongxing Sect. Originally, Cao Ying and Lin Ying didn't have a good relationship. After the Qingzhou War, the two of them, as the only ones in Yunzhou with intact bodies, often discussed Yunzhou affairs together. Their relationship quickly warmed up and they were as close as sisters.

"Xiaoying"

It was the big sand sculpture who greeted Cao Ying. When she saw Cao Ying, she smiled innocently.

"Sister Lin Yu"

Cao Ying rarely smiled when she saw the big sand sculpture. The big sand sculpture had warmed her childhood.

"Xiaoying, I'm telling you, the master is here"

"Uncle?"

"Yes, the master"

"I know"

Cao Ying nodded, then took out a bag of snacks and stuffed them into the big sand sculpture. They were all her favorite foods. The big sand sculpture happily took Cao Ying in.

In the hall, Lin Jiang and Lin Ying were talking about things. Xia Qingshan gave guidance to the Lin family and calculated their fate, but he couldn't let them know, so Lin Ying had to make clever arrangements. For example, if someone's opportunity was in Zhongzhou, he would be arranged to guard Zhongzhou.

"Xiaoying, you are here"

"Sister Lin Ying, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Hehe, nothing, it's just that my brother misses you"

Lin Ying said with a smile, but Cao Ying was silent in return.

The atmosphere became frozen at this moment.

"Okay, okay, I'm leaving, Big Sand Sculpture, follow me"

"No, I want to share snacks with the master"

Big Sand Sculpture took out the snacks given by Cao Ying, took out a dried fish from it and was about to stuff it into Lin Jiang, but she was quickly dragged out by Lin Ying. What kind of trouble is this?

"Uncle"

Cao Ying finally took the initiative to speak.

"Well, I'm here"

Lin Jiang felt that he was a little stuttering. He was very good at fooling people outside, but now he was going to fool Cao Ying, he felt guilty and felt that he was a scumbag.

If it was a scumbag to others, Lin Jiang would let it go, but he always couldn't bear to be a scumbag to his own people.

"Uncle, do you have anything to say to me?"

Cao Ying took the initiative to speak. Some things always had to be said, and she had made plans for the worst.

"I do have something to say. I heard from Lin Ying that your inner demons have not been resolved yet." "

Uncle, why do you ask when you already know the answer?"

"I called you here today to resolve your inner demons."

"Uncle, are you going to have mercy on me?"

Cao Ying said. At this moment, she felt a little pathetic. It turned out that she was still the one who wanted to be pitied.

"It's not pity, but I want to be frank with you. Cao Ying, do you know why I have avoided Yunzhou, the Lin family, and you for so many years?"

"Because of your lifespan."

"Yes, I live longer than you think. Let me put it this way. If I were in the same era as the Shenmu Patriarch, I would live longer than him."

"You..."

Cao Ying was a little shocked. She knew that Lin Jiang's lifespan was very long, so long that he could constantly use the secret technique of burning life during the Qingzhou War, but she really didn't know that Lin Jiang could live so long.

"You should know what this life span represents. I was still very weak at that time, and I didn't dare to expose myself. There are many examples of fathers killing sons, sons killing fathers, husbands killing wives, and wives killing husbands in the world

of immortal cultivation. I can only hide carefully and avoid all those who may know my secrets. Do you understand this feeling? "

"Then why doesn't uncle hide now?"

"First, I have a certain ability to protect myself, and second, I have lost a lot of precious things. While there are still some things now, I must hold on to them firmly, so as not to regret it for the rest of my life."

Lin Jiang said, looking around, how many relatives have died, the earliest mother, brothers, and then father, nephews, sisters, masters, brothers, partners, unknowingly, Lin Jiang has sent away too many people, and now there are only a few close friends around him.

"I understand your feelings. The master and sister who loved me at the beginning are also dead."

Cao Ying nodded. Her contemporaries in Zhonghang Sect are all gone. This feeling is not good.

"Yes, that's why I have lived for more than two thousand years and never thought about getting married and having children, because I'm afraid that if I invest my feelings in them, they will leave me"

"Uncle, can you explain it more clearly"

"What I mean is that in this world, only cultivation is eternal. Even if you and I love each other, after hundreds or thousands of years, there will only be one more heartbroken person. Only if you advance to the He Dao and overcome the tribulation to become an immortal, can you be with me forever. If our love is long-lasting, why should we be together day and night"

"Can I understand that after I advance to the He Dao, we can be together"

"If you advance to the He Dao, won't you be able to accompany me for thousands of more years? If you overcome the tribulation and become an immortal, won't we be able to be together forever?"

"You are right, I am narrow-minded"

Cao Ying felt as if something suddenly became clear. Yes, if she could overcome the tribulation and become an immortal, then wouldn't the two of them be able to be together forever? No matter it is family or love, they will be together in the end.

"Xiaoying"

Lin Ying waved to Cao Ying, and Cao Ying walked to Lin Ying's side.

"Sister Lin Ying"

"Xiaoying, did my brother make it clear to you?"

"Yes" "

Then do you still want to be my sister-in-law?"

"Yes"

Cao Ying nodded shyly.

"You don't blame my brother anymore."

"When have I ever blamed him?"

"My brother has actually had a very hard time these years, with a lot of secrets that he can't tell anyone."

"I know."

"So I'm entrusting my brother to you."

"Sister Lin Ying, this..."

"Since there are no outsiders here, I'll tell you something from my heart. You know my Lin family's situation. I had many brothers and sisters when I was a child, but I wasn't close to the others. My eldest brother and second brother were several dozen years older than me. Only my brother and third sister were good to me. Apart from my mother, they were the best to me.

My brother has good luck and has a very long life span. He can live a long time, but I will definitely die before him. If I die, my brother will no longer have anyone close to him. I'm also worried about other women. What do you think will happen to my brother if he meets a vicious woman? Maybe my brother will become a human pill. I only trust you.

Xiaoying, you must break through the Hedao, you must become an immortal, so that you can stay with my brother forever, understand?"

"Xiaoying, it doesn't have to be like that. You can also..."

"Family members know their own affairs. I am not talented enough. Returning to the Void is my limit,"

Lin Ying said. She was very open-minded about this. If she had not been born early and was the second generation of the Lin family, she would not have been able to enjoy so many resources. With her talent, the Nascent Soul stage would have been the limit. Now she enjoys more resources than ordinary people and has gone further, but it has also reached the end.

"Sister Lin Ying, I..."

"Xiao Ying, actually what my brother said to you today was instigated by me, you know?"

"Yes"

"I asked my brother to tell you a white lie, but I won't lie to you. Actually, I don't know what your feelings for my brother are, whether it is family affection or so-called love, but you have to know one thing, my brother is lonely. After thousands of years, we will all die, and he will be alone. As long as you live long enough, no matter what kind of feelings you have, you can support each other, and it has always been like this."

"Sister Lin Ying, actually..."

Cao Ying didn't know how to answer. In fact, she couldn't tell what family affection was and what love was. She only knew that Lin Jiang occupied a very important position in her life.

Lin Jiang not only gave her a carefree childhood, but was also the first person in her memory who was truly selfless to her. She had encountered many intrigues and deceptions in Zhongxing Sect. The more she experienced, the more precious this sincere feeling became, which was enough to give birth to the inner demon of Cao Ying.

"I understand, I understand. Love will eventually become family affection. In my life, I have seen through the so-called love, so I choose not to get married for life, but I really hope that I can have a purer family affection, the kind without interests."

"Sister Lin Ying, I..."

"Don't say more, I know everything. Don't think too much. Just remember that cultivation is the best way to solve your life problems. When you have cultivated to a certain level, you can get all the happy life you think..."

Lin Ying said. Lin Jiang gave her a promise, which could solve all of Cao Ying's worries. She hoped that Cao Ying could solve the inner demon from then on.

········

"I didn't expect that Brother Li had such a story."

Xia Qingshan said to Lin Jiang in a pavilion in the distance. From this position, the figures of Lin Ying and Cao Ying could be seen.

"A bad fate, ah"

"Bad fate can also turn into a good one, Brother Li, it's not easy for us men to meet a woman who is so devoted to us, you have to cherish her"

"Brother Xia, I didn't ask you to talk about my personal affairs, let's talk about Cao Ying's face"

Lin Jiang said, he had already done something stupid, as for the future, we will talk about it later, we will take it one step at a time, now we have to talk about business.

"Cao Ying's face is actually very good, she has the help of noble people, but if you ask me how she can achieve the unity of the Tao, then I really can't say it, don't forget, I am only a spirit, the level is not yet up to it"

"Ah"

Lin Jiang sighed, Xia Qingshan couldn't say it either, he had no choice.

“Brother Li, don’t worry too much. I have met the senior executives of your Lin family. Many of them have great potential. A mere Hedao will not be a problem for you.”

“You yourself said that this is an era of great contention. I’m afraid it’s too late.”

“Brother Li, an era of great contention is an era, not just three to five years. There is still time for everything,”

said Xia Qingshan. During this period of time, he understood a lot of things. Perhaps it was God’s will. He should have a share of the credit for this era of great contention.
