"'Li Shi in the South, Ling Yan in the North'. Are you the Feng Lingyan, the brilliantly talented and stunningly beautiful woman known as one of the 'Legends of Lai and Feng'?"
Hua Qingcheng's voice choked slightly as she took heavy steps, gradually approaching Feng Lingyan. However, when she was about two meters away from Feng Lingyan's wheelchair, Hua Qingcheng stopped moving forward.
The man before her was most likely the biological father of her current body. Regardless of the good and the bad, Hua Qingcheng had already accepted everything about the original owner. She was now both the Hua Qingcheng from the 22nd century and the Hua Qingcheng of Laifeng Country.
Not just her husband, but also her adoptive parents and biological father—they were now the closest people to her in this world. However, if the distance between her and Feng Lingyan was a hundred steps, Hua Qingcheng could take ninety-nine steps for Feng Lingyan, but she wouldn't take that final step. Because even if it was just one step, and Feng Lingyan came for her, then their relationship would be a two-way journey, not just her own wishful thinking.
"Yes, I am the Feng Lingyan in 'Nan Li Shi Bei Lingyan'." Feng Lingyan looked at Hua Qingcheng with tears in her eyes and her voice choked with sobs.
Just based on the face of the woman before him, no one would believe him if he said she wasn't his daughter. For sixteen years, Feng Lingyan had dreamed countless times of a father-daughter reunion, but the only thing he had never imagined was that one day his daughter would actually come to the deep valley beneath the cold pool at the foot of the Forgetful Cliff.
"Brother Feng, you..."
Seeing Feng Lingyan struggling to get out of the wheelchair, Long Yitian wanted to step forward to help him, but was rejected.
"Child, there is not a single day that I don't miss you. You... wait for me!" How could someone as smart as Feng Lingyan not understand what Hua Qingcheng meant.
Although the woman before him was most likely his daughter, he had never taken care of her since she was born. Regardless of her reasons for being here, since Heaven had already sent his daughter, whom he longed for day and night, he should not sit in a wheelchair and let his daughter complete every step of the reunion for him.
With a "bang", the wooden wheelchair overturned and Feng Lingyan finally got out of the wheelchair, but he fell to the ground.
"Brother Feng, you..."
Long Yitian wanted to help him up, but was rejected by Feng Lingyan again.
"Brother Long, Lingyan appreciates your kindness. However, this is my first meeting with her, and I can't and shouldn't ask her to complete every step of the father-daughter reunion for me."
Feng Lingyan sat on the ground, using his palms to support himself as he struggled to crawl forward. Although he was only wrapped in a coarse cloth, Hua Qingcheng thought that even if he was covered with a rag, he would still be a top-notch handsome man. Whether it was his appearance or his demeanor, he was extremely handsome.
Hua Qingcheng's eyes welled with tears as she watched Feng Lingyan creep closer, yet she remained frozen in place, not taking a single step. Hua Qingcheng had her pride and her principles. She could travel thousands of miles to the Cliff of Oblivion for Feng Lingyan, but even if it was just a step away, she hoped Feng Lingyan would come for her. That way, their father-daughter relationship would no longer be a one-sided wish.
Dragging his immobilized legs, the short two-meter distance took a tremendous amount of Feng Lingyan's energy, yet he gritted his teeth and persevered. He told himself that his daughter was waiting for him up ahead, and he couldn't give up. No matter how hard it got, he had to persevere.
This was the tacit understanding between them as father and daughter, and it was also the only thing he could do for her when they first met. He had to show her with practical actions that he loved her as a daughter and had never abandoned her.
Feng Lingyan, using his palms as support, struggled to move towards her. Although he looked somewhat disheveled, in Hua Qingcheng's eyes, he appeared tall, majestic, and incomparably brave. This was a father's deep concern and longing for his daughter.
It wasn't that Hua Qingcheng was cold-blooded, but rather that she was an orphan in the 22nd century, having never known parental love. Even after traveling to the Laifeng Kingdom, it was her father, Ye Maochun, who, through his daily care and love, gradually melted Hua Qingcheng's cold heart, ultimately allowing her to accept Ye Maochun as her father.
Although Hua Qingcheng once felt pity for Feng Lingyan, it was simply out of admiration and appreciation. However, if their relationship were to be extended to that of a father and daughter, she would need a process of acceptance and adaptation. The first step was to see his sincerity in maintaining this father-daughter relationship through his attitude.
Although Long Yitian had used his inner energy to massage Feng Lingyan's legs and feet daily for sixteen years, his kneecaps and ankles were broken. Although he had feeling in his legs and feet, he couldn't walk. Dragging his paralyzed legs, it took Feng Lingyan a quarter of an hour to crawl the short two meters to Hua Qingcheng.
"Son, I'm sorry! I've made you suffer over the years."
Feng Lingyan's eyes were sore and filled with tears. He looked at Hua Qingcheng standing in front of him with extremely complicated feelings, but a very kind smile appeared on his face.
"Master Feng, you... are very good!"
Hua Qingcheng choked up, and the tears she had been holding back could no longer be held back. "Plop, plop," drops of tears fell on Feng Lingyan's face, burning Feng Lingyan's heart bit by bit.
She knelt down before Feng Lingyan, then reached out and lifted him up by the waist. It was a pity for this handsome man, who was only 1.8 meters tall, to be so light. Hua Qingcheng walked effortlessly, taking steady steps, step by step, to the square table and placing him in a chair.
