Yin Changling didn't want her to agree because her staying would prove her sincerity towards Wan Qijin.
To have your beloved's heart and eyes filled with someone else is an unbearable blow to anyone, Yin Changling thought almost in despair.
"this……"
Tu Shan Lingxi spoke up, but there was a hint of hesitation in her voice.
hesitate?
Xi'er hesitated?
Yin Changling instantly became happy, almost dancing with joy, unable to contain his excitement, and a rare smile appeared on his face.
Indeed, Yin Changling instantly felt like he had come back to life. His shattered heart was pieced back together little by little, as if it could heal itself in the next moment.
He almost greedily thought that perhaps Xi'er had only pretended to love Wan Qijin out of politeness.
In reality, Xi'er didn't love him that much at all; it was all just an illusion.
Yin Changling had been looking forward to it, but never before had he felt such joy in his heart as he did now.
But the next moment, all his excitement vanished, all because of a single sentence from Tu Shan Ling Xi.
How do I know you're not lying to me?
That's right, that's Tu Shan Lingxi's doubt. She doesn't believe him, doesn't believe what Yin Changling said, and doesn't believe his promises.
"!"
Yin Changling's heart, which he had painstakingly pieced back together, shattered completely with a "snap."
So it turns out... so Xi'er didn't not love Wan Qijin, but rather didn't trust herself.
From beginning to end, she only hurt herself!
"Hahahaha, do I have a choice? From beginning to end, I'm not the one who has a choice!"
Yin Changling laughed with a sorrowful expression, as if his bones had been pulled out all at once, making him appear inexplicably hunched over.
After he finished laughing, he looked at Tu Shan Lingxi with red eyes and said the most heartbreaking and cruel words of his life, which moved everyone present.
"If an oath can dispel your doubts, then I swear that if I am lying to you, may I be struck dead by lightning. I will never break my promise."
"That's excellent."
Tu Shan Lingxi was finally satisfied after hearing this. She nodded, but couldn't bear to look at Yin Changling's face any longer, so she turned her head and said.
Yin Changling felt only sorrow in his heart. He calmed himself down and looked at Tu Shan Lingxi seriously. His eyes were like torches, bright and piercing, as if they could illuminate the depths of Tu Shan Lingxi's heart.
"I will instruct you to seal your spiritual power upon returning to the palace. Unless your life is in danger, you must not revive your magic. Only then can I be at ease. Otherwise, if you were to run away one day, I would not even know."
If Yin Changling's request had been made under normal circumstances, Tu Shan Lingxi would have risked her life to kill him.
But things are different now. She can't let her own selfish desires harm the Grand Preceptor again.
Tu Shan Lingxi didn't know how he would torture her, but even though she was afraid, she had to accept it. After all, she was the one who had caused all of this.
"Okay, I promise you, but you can't hurt my children, you have to let them go!"
"I will give you one day. If you do not return after one day, I will throw away and burn that ancient scroll. There is no other way to do this in the world."
After he finished speaking, he waved his wide robe, turned around and left completely, without leaving any room for sentimentality.
Tu Shan Lingxi watched his back, her little fists clenching and unclenching repeatedly, gesturing behind his back before she had to put them back down.
Forget it, let's send the children back to Mount Ling first and let them start cultivating quickly, otherwise they will be powerless to protect themselves.
Thinking this, Tu Shan Lingxi went out and saw the two little ones being surrounded by several guards, restricting their movements.
"Yiyi, Susu, come here."
The guards looked up and saw the woman before them, who looked like a celestial being. They couldn't help but hold their breath, afraid of frightening this icy beauty.
While they were distracted, the two little foxes rushed forward and nestled into their mother Xiangxiang's arms, and the mother and daughters entered the hall together.
"Mother, you've finally come to save us! Do you know that bad guy locked us up here and wouldn't let us out? We were so bored!"
Wan Qiyi buried his face in her arms, his soft little voice whining sweetly, melting everyone's hearts.
She was unaware that she was about to be separated from her mother, and they became incredibly affectionate upon their first meeting.
The man beside her, however, considered things much more carefully.
Tu Shan Su Su had many questions she wanted to ask her mother. She had already guessed that she might not be her father's biological child, but rather this wicked man's.
And also, why didn't her father come to save them? Was it really as she thought—
My father has had an accident.
However, when Tu Shan Su Su saw the tired look in her mother's eyes, she suddenly couldn't say anything.
She felt sorry for her mother, and pressed her little face tightly against Tu Shan Lingxi's neck. Her soft little face was especially heartbreaking.
Tu Shan Lingxi kissed each of their little faces, her eyes filled with an unprecedented tenderness and reluctance.
It was as if she understood many things overnight, like a true mother sheltering her child from the wind and rain.
In the past, she didn't need to do these things; Wan Qijin would silently take care of everything. But now...
"Come back to your original form, Mother will take you home."
Tu Shan Lingxi's voice was exceptionally gentle, like a spring breeze, sheltering the two children from the wind and rain and opening up a new world for them.
Her gentle side naturally made the children uneasy, but their mother's sweet and soft side was so rare that no one dared to question it.
Wan Qiyi's eyes were sparkling, her little hands were covering her face, covering the spot where Tu Shan Lingxi had just kissed her, and her little mouth was grinning.
"Okay, Mother."
"Uh-huh."
Tu Shan Su Su was not to be outdone. She was shy by nature and rarely received such affection from her mother. She covered her face shyly, but still sweetly agreed.
A flash of white light appeared, and two little foxes, one black and one white, appeared before Tu Shan Lingxi. Her heart softened, and she stepped forward to pat the little foxes' heads.
The two of them affectionately nuzzled Tu Shanlingxi's little hands, their round little heads looking quite adorable.
Looking at them, Tu Shan Lingxi felt much better and even smiled, which was a rare sight for her.
Her long, thick eyelashes couldn't hide the smile in her eyes. When she smiled, her eyebrows curved like a crescent moon, and her jade-like face exuded a gentle temperament.
The two little foxes were stunned when they saw her; who wouldn't love their beautiful mother?
"Alright, Mother will take you back to see your father now, okay?"
"Aww~"
"Aww~"
The little foxes vied to express their opinions, each more playful than the last, and responded enthusiastically to Tu Shan Ling Xi, making everyone's hearts melt.
