She explained somewhat uneasily why she went out that day.
Lin the Blind nodded gently: "I know you're a good child. Your master just came to tell you that you can wait for your master to come out of seclusion."
He knows best whether his own son is good or not.
There's nothing wrong with Su Tiantian wanting to go out and have fun; the problem lies with those who have ulterior motives.
Su Tiantian is a dragon, but she also has a human body, which means that she has to grow up with both identities.
Su Tiantian's desire to go out and play stems not only from her childlike nature, but also from the call of heaven and earth. She is a dragon, destined to soar through the skies and plunge into the sea.
The laws of the world require her to experience and comprehend them; if she remains confined within the human body, she will be unable to comprehend them.
She not only wants to go out and play, but also wants to travel all over the world. Mountains, rivers, seas, and skies are all her playgrounds.
She can go play as she pleases; her safety is only protected by him, her master.
Lin the Blind Man went into seclusion as he pleased.
Every day, I just deliver the food to the designated location, but I never see him.
After Lin the Blind went into seclusion, Su Tiantian got up early every day to cultivate. Before, Lin the Blind had to call her, but now that he didn't call her, Su Tiantian didn't slack off.
Su Tiantian couldn't help but wonder what Lin the Blind was up to, so she stopped playing with mud, which was her favorite activity.
Half a month later, Blind Lin emerged from seclusion.
"Son, it's been half a month, but it's finally done."
Lin the Blind waved to Su Tiantian and gently called her to his side.
Su Tiantian hesitated and refused to step forward.
"Why are you still disobeying me? It's only been half a month since we last met, and you've already forgotten your master?"
Lin the Blind sighed, seemingly troubled.
Black Rice wagged its tail, then turned around and grabbed Su Tiantian's clothes, pulling her towards Blind Lin.
Su Tiantian reached Lin the Blind Man, looked up at him, and hugged his knees with tears in her eyes: "Master, I don't want anything, I just want you to be well."
"If you're doing well, your master will be doing well too. You haven't been out to play these past few days, have you? You'll be able to go out to play more often from now on."
Lin the Blind Man fumbled and hung a rope around Su Tiantian's body. The pendant was a small wooden figure, a miniature of Lin the Blind Man, exactly like him.
This was forged with his life essence. When Su Tiantian's soul leaves her body, it forms a protective shell. If anything tries to harm Su Tiantian, the little man will shield her from a fatal blow, giving Su Tiantian enough time to return.
The harm suffered by the villain will return to him; he risked his life to protect Su Tiantian's safety.
He asks for nothing in return, only willingly protecting his disciple. His sincerity moves heaven and earth. As long as it is not a great demon that has existed for thousands of years, Su Tiantian will not be harmed while soaring through the sky.
As for Su Tiantian's physical body, he will also teach her how to become stronger until she grows up and has the ability to protect herself.
Lin the Blind didn't feel like he was sacrificing himself; he was only thinking about how to pave the way for his apprentice, which was what a teacher should do.
Su Tiantian cried.
Lin the Blind Man ruffled Su Tiantian's hair and said with a smile, "You're still crying? Stop crying, you're not cute when you cry, even Heimi is laughing at you."
It would have been better if Lin the Blind Man hadn't said anything; his words only made Su Tiantian burst into tears even more.
"Waaaaah—"
This was the first time Su Tiantian had felt the profound warmth of her master's love. She didn't quite understand it, yet she seemed to get it.
Hei Mi leaned against Su Tiantian, sensing her sadness, and he also started whimpering.
Lin the Blind felt his eyes stinging and aching. He tried to comfort him helplessly, saying, "Oh dear, Master isn't dead yet. It's not time for you to mourn him. Please stop crying..."
"Stop crying, it's going to pour rain today, and I don't like rainy days."
"If you cry again, you won't be allowed to eat dinner tonight, and you won't be allowed to eat any of the snacks or cookies your mom bought for you!"
Lin the Blind Man recounted every severe punishment he could think of.
Su Tiantian was still crying.
Blind Lin was at his wit's end: "What can I do to stop you from crying? Tell me!"
Su Tiantian shook her head: "I don't want this, I want Master to become young again!"
This is the essence and blood of the Blind Man of Jiji Forest, which is why he looks much older, with more and more white hair.
“Once this is formed, there’s no going back. Besides, this master once had one too. Don’t cry. Master will show you what the ancestral master gave to Master. This isn’t an exception for you; it’s a tradition of our Qingfeng Temple.”
Blind Lin took Su Tiantian's hand and led her into the house.
He treats Su Tiantian with such dedication because his master once treated him with the same dedication.
He was too young then, and without Su Tiantian's wisdom, he didn't know what it was.
Black Rice followed behind, comforting Su Tiantian in every way it could think of.
Lin the Blind took out the treasure chest he had placed there and showed it to Su Tiantian.
Lin the Blind Man carefully touched the wooden figurine. His master had passed away many years ago, and the figurine had lost its luster; it was just an ordinary piece of wood.
It was also full of cracks.
"Watch closely, Master is going to put it away."
Lin the Blind was very serious; this was the first time he had ever been stingy with Su Tiantian.
Su Tiantian carefully returned it to him.
Lin the Blind Man carefully put it back down, and only when he saw that Su Tiantian had finally stopped crying did he feel relieved.
"Let's go see if there's anything to eat, I'm hungry."
Lin the Blind took Su Tiantian's hand and went outside.
Qiao Lei immediately instructed the kitchen to prepare food.
The time Qiao Lei spent at Qingfeng Temple was the most comfortable. With Lin the Blind's permission, he even installed a television set at Qingfeng Temple and would watch TV every day.
Nobody knows what happened between Su Tiantian and Blind Lin.
Su Tiantian quickly returned to her usual lively self.
In August, the anti-Japanese war drama starring Liu Xiaohua was broadcast.
It was well-received as soon as it aired.
When Lu Chen came to Qingfeng to see Su Tiantian, he mentioned this matter to Su Luo.
Not only did Jiang Heng want to cast Liu Xiaohua in another play, but there were also other scripts that wanted her to act in. Lu Chen had originally wanted to see Su Luo and Su Tiantian, so he took the opportunity to come in person.
"Aunt Liu acted really well. I wonder if she will continue acting."
Lu Chen hoped that Liu Xiaohua could continue acting, so that he would have more opportunities to see Su Tiantian and Su Luo in the future.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have any reason to visit Su Luo and Su Tiantian so often.
He could also sense that Su Luo treated him no differently, but even so, he still wanted to have more opportunities to see her.
"I don't know either. It all depends on my mother's wishes. I will pass on the message, and I will let you know if there is a reply."
Su Luo never expected that Liu Xiaohua's acting would be so popular.
After the TV series aired, almost everyone in the fishing village became her fan. Lu Chen's director friend even wanted to cast Liu Xiaohua in a drama. Su Luo was also happy for Liu Xiaohua, and if Liu Xiaohua wanted to continue acting, she would naturally give her full support.
