I'm already very old...
Qu Lingyuan was a little speechless.
After all, she is still a young girl, and she didn't expect that people would say she is old.
......
In the evening, Angus and Jonah returned home from school.
They also have family businesses to run outside. Joanna is only the dean of the college, but she also handles other matters outside the college in the principal's office.
I was very tired after a day's work and went to the restaurant to eat. I saw Qu Lingyuan and Troy sitting at the dining table.
"She..." Joanna looked at the two of them in shock.
Angus tugged at her sleeve and winked at her.
Qu Lingyuan stood up from her seat, feeling a little embarrassed.
Troy had been teaching her magic all day today. She was too embarrassed to come out for dinner, but Troy half-dragged and half-pulled her out of the room.
Troy also said that he could listen to her opinion on everything else except this one.
Qu Lingyuan didn't know what he was thinking. She just sat there, nervously waiting for Angus and Jonah to come home. She felt like an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her parents.
"Son, no, can you introduce me?" Angus looked at them with a smile, took off his coat naturally and handed it to the servant, then sat down at the dining table.
There was a hint of subtle curiosity on Qiao Na's face, perhaps she had deliberately suppressed it, and she looked at Qu Lingyuan with burning eyes.
Troy didn't rush to introduce them, but started talking about other topics first.
He cleared his throat and said, "As for Ona, I want to cancel the engagement."
Angus and Jonah rarely saw him so serious, and they couldn't help but straighten their expressions.
After hearing what he said, the parents were not very surprised. After looking at each other, Qiao Na said somewhat embarrassedly: "After all, we had already discussed it with her family before..."
Troy looked at his mother with some disgust: "I told you at the beginning, I just promised you to give it a try, why did you have to rush to talk about it so early."
Qiao Na lowered her head in embarrassment and murmured, "I really liked Ona at that time and wanted to settle her down as soon as possible to avoid being snatched away by some other brat. Only my son is the best!"
"......" Troy looked at his mother speechlessly.
Angus, as a father, was more steady. He placed his hands on the table and said calmly, "Can you tell me the reason?"
"Didn't you ask me to introduce her?" Troy pulled Qu Lingyuan over and pressed her into the seat next to him. "Oona murdered two girls who approached me, one of whom was her. The previous girl, Irene, has been missing for a long time. I don't know what's happening to her."
Angus listened carefully to what he said, frowning tightly.
He seemed to have heard the name Irene somewhere before, but because he was busy with his daily affairs, he had forgotten who it was. Or maybe it was just a coincidence...
Qiao Na frowned like her husband, and spoke after a while: "If she is really like this, then this marriage must be cancelled."
The atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy.
Joanna couldn't believe that such an elegant and gentle girl could have such a vicious heart.
Angus nodded and said, "I'll go with you to Ona's house tomorrow to break off the engagement. After all, that old man Frank isn't as powerful as us."
He said this in a domineering manner, as if he was supporting his wife.
After resolving this matter, Troy began to formally introduce her: "Her name is Qu Lingyuan... uh..."
He was about to say something, but suddenly he got stuck and couldn't remember how to introduce Qu Lingyuan's identity.
Angus smiled, his expression understanding. "Forget it. Wait a while, when you're sure, introduce it to us."
No one knows a son better than his father. He was like Troy when he was young.
As the young master of a large family, he has high IQ and strong abilities, but he does not understand love. When he met Joanna, he didn't know how to express it.
Although the girl named Qu Lingyuan looked a little embarrassed, she also reminded him of the shadow of Qiao Na when she was young, and he felt happy.
Troy looked at his father gratefully, but the two women present looked puzzled.
Qu Lingyuan was puzzled as to whether she was pretending or not, while Qiao Na was being genuine.
Angus then signaled everyone to eat and took up the cutlery in front of him first: "Eat quickly, it will get cold if you don't eat it now."
......
In the past few days, Qu Lingyuan has been locked up in the house by Troy to study hard. She has a strong learning ability, good physical fitness for cultivating immortals, and can master magic quickly, which even surprised Troy.
"I think you can even catch up with the academy's progress..." He looked at Qu Lingyuan in disbelief.
"Teacher, you are the best teacher." Qu Lingyuan tilted her head and smiled.
Troy had kept his distance from her these past few days, probably because the last time he talked about respect scared him, and he never showed his sharp teeth to her again.
In fact, her comprehension of magic was not as high as Troy's, but after some exploration, she found that she could integrate immortal techniques into magic. Both of them absorbed the essence of cultivation from nature. They had different veins but the same roots, and could even promote each other.
"Let's go to the academy tomorrow," Troy closed the book in his hand and looked up at her. "You haven't attended classes for a few days in the academy. Actually, there are practical classes in the academy. Proper combat will help improve your abilities. Just learning by rote is not good."
He has been very gentle these days, with his black hair hanging down on his temples and his extremely red eyes, which makes people's hearts flutter.
Qu Lingyuan still wanted him to chase his wife to the crematorium. She had been calm these days without much emotional fluctuation, but she could hardly bear it anymore.
Turning away from his eyes, Qu Lingyuan nodded: "Well, let's go tomorrow."
Troy told her to have some rest, put down the book and left her room.
Watching his back as he walked out and closed the door, Qu Lingyuan let out a long sigh and collapsed on the bed.
"Isn't it bad that I'm deliberately delaying the progress and keeping a distance instead of taking the initiative..." She rubbed her neck, which was sore from sitting for too long, and stretched her waist.
Yi Ling walked around behind her and put his little hand on her shoulder. The position and strength were calculated carefully by his brain, and it was very comfortable.
He knew that Qu Lingyuan didn't actually need an answer. She was just saying to him what she should have asked herself.
After a moment of silence, Yi Ling said, "I checked your progress. If you go to another world, you can return to your original place."
Then, I will never see you again.
Yi Ling didn't think anything of it at first, but as time got closer, he became reluctant to accept this fact.
Qu Lingyuan should be the last person he would take on a mission. He originally thought that it was still early for the mission to end and there was no need to think about what to do after retirement, but now... he suddenly felt that there was no point in doing anything.
He wanted to be with Qu Lingyuan, listen to her babble about meaningless things, watch her roll her eyes, and watch her talk to herself.
