The Moon Lady and Leng i listened to Ling Xiao and then returned to their rooms to rest and reflect.
After all, they were well aware that if they wanted to continue being of help to Ling Xiao, their cultivation level had to keep improving; otherwise, sooner or later, they would beco a burden to him.
Ling Xiao’s talent was terrifying.
It wasn’t difficult for him to catch up with them.
However, just as they were leaving and Ling Xiao was returning to his room to cultivate, a noble yet sowhat delicate woman appeared.
"Princess Lian’er!"
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Is there sothing you need from ?"
"Can you call Lian’er? I don’t like being so distant."
There was a hint of longing in Fengming Lian’s expression.
Ling Xiao sighed softly.
He understood Fengming Lian’s feelings at that mont.
Having left her mother and offended the Ice Phoenix Clan, she felt truly unsafe in the Imperial Capital. Apart from Ling Xiao, she didn’t know whom to trust.
Although Ling Xiao’s friends were very kind to her, a person’s inner loneliness is difficult to erase.
"Alright, Lian’er, is there sothing you need?"
Face to face with this charming and delicate beauty, Ling Xiao found it hard to be unkind.
The key was that this girl was indeed pitiful.
"Can you accompany for a walk?"
Fengming Lian asked.
"Alright."
Ling Xiao nodded, and then the two strolled along the picturesque paths of Qingxu College.
The scent of grass and flowers intertwined to create an intoxicating atmosphere, and the river beneath the small bridge flowed gently, sotis punctuated by the calls of frogs, adding a touch of life.
Fengming Lian’s tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed; having a trustworthy person by her side and the beautiful flora and fauna around her made her feel truly content.
"You know, Brother Ling, my dream is simply to live with those who love , leading a simple, uneventful life. Is that a little ridiculous?"
Fengming Lian suddenly asked.
"It’s not ridiculous. Being with those who love you, even if life is hard, it’s still happiness. But there’s one thing I must point out, which is that without strong power, this kind of happiness won’t last long."
Though reluctant to shatter Fengming Lian’s dream, Ling Xiao still had to say so things.
"Why?"
Fengming Lian asked in confusion.
Since childhood, she had been like a bird in a cage, longing for the outside world but unable to reach it.
"Although I was a beggar when I was young, being with Grandpa Hong Qi and those little friends was also joyful and happy. Grandpa cared for , and my friends were fun, but nightmares eventually descended."
Ling Xiao’s expression changed slightly as he said, "In the Mysterious World, it is Martial Artists who determine everything. We were just beggars, yet so people delighted in bullying beggars, and their bullying would take one or two lives each ti.
I witnessed my friends being beaten to death, but I was powerless. My so-called happy life crumbled in an instant."
Fengming Lian listened, stunned.
She had always thought cultivation was of no use, that as long as she lived in harmony with the world, she could live happily.
But Ling Xiao’s words were like a harsh wake-up call.
"In the Mysterious World, a happy life must be achieved through strength. Lian’er, you seem to be strong, so why haven’t I seen you use your skills?"
Ling Xiao naturally understood that Fengming Lian’s cultivation was not bad and that she might be a genius as monstrous as he was.
Though young, she was already at the First Cave Heaven Realm.
"My cultivation was forced by my mother. In the past, I always thought that such cultivation led to my misfortune, so I didn’t train well. But your words surprised ."
Fengming Lian explained, "Even though my cultivation is good, I haven’t practiced a single Martial Skill because I don’t want to harm anyone."
"Not wanting to harm others is fine, but don’t give up the ability to protect yourself."
Ling Xiao advised, "You must have noticed that so people have set their sights on and have been sending assassins. Just imagine if I shared your mindset, what would happen then?"
Fengming Lian paused briefly, then her expression changed dramatically.
She wasn’t stupid; in fact, she was very clever.
Perhaps it was because of the human and God Phoenix blood coursing through her veins that she had more potential than ordinary humans and the Shenhuang Clan.
Moreover, she was even smarter.
Naturally, she understood Ling Xiao’s words.
"Brother Ling, help cultivate. I know many Martial Skills of the Ice Phoenix Clan, but I’m clueless about how to train."
Because she trusted Ling Xiao, Fengming Lian also believed in what he said.
In addition to the recent sequence of events, she gradually realized that pure kindness wasn’t always good; it only made you appear weak and vulnerable.
She had to beco stronger!
That way, she could protect herself!
"No problem, I can guide you in cultivation."
Ling Xiao didn’t refuse. After all, it was he who rescued Fengming Lian. The saying goes, "If you save soone, you save them to the end," helping Fengming Lian master survival skills would also be a relief for him, so he wouldn’t need to waste energy protecting her constantly.
Moreover, borrowing the Martial Arts of the Ice Phoenix Clan to study wouldn’t hurt.
Each move in his Light and Shadow Mystique was derived from existing Martial Arts, not created out of thin air.
If he could gain so insight from the Ice Phoenix Clan’s Martial Arts, his comprehension of subsequent moves might accelerate.
"Thank you so much, Brother Ling."
Fengming Lian said excitedly.
Every ti she got excited, her cheeks would blush slightly, revealing a srizing expression. Even Ling Xiao admitted it was hard to resist this delicate charm.
Ling Xiao quickly turned his head aside, looking at the little fish in the river.
He suddenly recalled sothing and turned his head back to ask, "Lian’er, since you’re from the Ice Phoenix Clan, you should have heard about Ji Fulin and Yu Xuan Yue, right?"
Fengming Lian thought for a mont and said, "Of course, I know. In the Ice Phoenix Clan’s secret archives, there’s a book specifically docunting these two people. Moreover, during my confinent, an old lady who took care of my daily life often told stories from the past."
"Can you tell ?"
Ling Xiao asked.
Ever since discovering Ji Fulin and Yu Xuan Yue were his parents, Ling Xiao was eager to learn more about them.
Since Fengming Lian knew, he naturally wanted to ask thoroughly.
"Of course."
Fengming Lian was worried about not having topics to discuss with Ling Xiao, and now Ling Xiao had offered one himself. She had a lot to say.
As she started talking about Ji Fulin and Yu Xuan Yue, the initial parts Ling Xiao had already learned from Hong Qi, but he listened attentively.
Until later, when Fengming Lian ntioned sothing terrifying that made his hair stand on end.
"The world believes Ji Fulin and Yu Xuan Yue had no children, but in reality, they had a pair of children."
Fengming Lian said.
