The little girl didn't move, always looking at Ling Tian's face in amazent, as if showing that she couldn't believe sothing.
"Hey." Ling Tian smiled softly and crouched down, placing himself at the little girl's level as he stroked her little head. This little girl had a cute and angelic face, those beautiful eyes so innocent and full of happiness along with such beautiful and delicate skin like a little flower sprouting at the beginning of the rainbow, sohow reminded him of his older sister, Ling Wan'er...
"Prince..." So, the little girl murmured in her innocent and tender little voice.
Prince?
Ling Tian blinked and shook his head with a small smile as he saw that this little girl's first impression was so tender and innocent.
"My na is Ling Tian, you can call big brother." Ling Tian smiled while still stroking her cute little head and asked, "And may I know the na of this cute little princess?"
"X-Xi'er..." Ling Ruoxi murmured without taking her gaze off Ling Tian's face. Her cute and soft cheeks had a slight hint of blush while an unusual glow was evident in her expression, smiling with so shyness and innocence as she enjoyed Ling Tian's fondling of her head.
"Xi'er? What a pretty na!" Ling Tian smiled even more, showing tender affection to this girl who was the descendant of his family.
"Xi'er, what are you doing here?" Almost at once, Ling Ahlang asked as he finally approached.
"Grandpa!" Ling Ruoxi was surprised and happily hugged Ling Ahlang. And yet, she still turned her head and looked at Ling Tian.
"She's your granddaughter?" Ling Tian asked Ling Ahlang.
"Yes, she is one of my granddaughters, the oldest." Ling Ahlang nodded with a smile as he gently patted Ling Ruoxi's head.
"Grandpa, he is the prince who appears in my dreams and whom my big sister told about!" Ling Ruoxi then whispered with her cheeks slightly flushed, telling her grandfather about Ling Tian.
"Your big sister?" Ling Ahlang asked dumbfounded.
"En! She always appears in my dreams, but I haven't dread about her lately." Ling Ruoxi nodded enthusiastically at first and then said the last with so sadness.
Ling Ahlang blinked as Ling Tian let out a small smile, thinking of his older sister who liked to take care of all the little children in the family, but especially him.
"Look!" Ling Ruoxi at once took out a photograph that was folded in half, but well kept and without any mistreatnt, and said excitedly, "She is the big sister who appears in my dreams, and he is our prince..." Her voice beca small at the end as she comnted on the prince.
Instantly, everyone could see a picture where two children, a girl and a boy, were hugging each other and with big happy smiles, as if they were letting each other paint and show their happiness and more.
Ling Tian was surprised to realize that it was a picture of him and his older sister!
How co you have that?
Ling Tian, Ling Guosheng and Ling Ahlang had the sa question when they saw this.
"Our husband when he was little..." However, a whisper reached Ling Tian's ear before he said anything. He watched his wives stare at the photograph Ling Ruoxi was holding, as if they wanted to get it and hold it in their hands.
Even Shan Qingwu and Xuanyuan Ling were staring at the photograph!
"Where are you, sister?"
At once, a childish boy' voice was heard as a figure ran over to where they all stood, interrupting the strange sowhat embarrassing atmosphere.
"Huh?" A little boy, who seed to be the sa age as Ling Ruoxi, ran over and stopped when he noticed all of them.
"Fairies..." A mumble with a dazed expression was evident on the boy's face as he looked closely at Yun ngxin and the other won. His gaze slowly shifted between the won and then he noticed Lan Yin and Qing Sha, just the sa expression Ling Ruoxi had made, finally noticing Ling Tian and opening his eyes wider denoting surprise, "Big Brother!" His voice was louder without taking his eyes off Ling Tian.
Interestingly enough, this little boy had a similar appearance to Ling Tian...
"Tianyan!"
"Grandfather!"
Ling Ahlang again spoke up, bringing Ling Tianyan out of his daze and causing the latter to call out to his grandfather upon seeing him.
"Tianyan?" Ling Tian raised his eyebrows, realizing that this little boy also had a na similar to his own.
"He is also my grandson, he is Xi'er's younger brother." Ling Ahlang hugged Ling Tianyan with his other free arm as the latter ca up and hugged him, as did Ling Ruoxi.
Both children looked curiously at Ling Tian. Although they had seen pictures of him when he was little, they instantly recognized him even though he had grown up...
"Kids, where's your mother?" Ling Ahlang looked at both children, asking for his daughter.
"Mom is playing with us!" Ling Tianyan replied while Ling Ruoxi nodded tenderly.
"My treasures, where are you?"
As if to prove it was true, a charming figure with an aura of a young housewife gently approached where they all stood. A beautiful and gorgeous beauty emanated from her, displaying the colors of a flower at its point of maturity and perfection. Her appearance denoted the colors of youth that countless won desire, although she looked young, they could tell she had an appearance of about 30 years old. A beautiful smile painted her face.
"Hmm?" The woman stopped and was equally stunned to see all of them. When she shifted her surprised gaze on Yun ngxin to Ling Tian, she was shocked when she saw Ling Tian.
Walking slowly, she approached Ling Ahlang and smiled again sowhat clumsily and said, "Dad." At once, the two children ca up to her and hugged her without hesitation, "Mom!" Ling Ruoxi and Ling Tianyan smiled at the sight of their mother.
Ling Qianxun gently nodded to Ling Guosheng and then turned to look at the two children, "Xi'er, Yan'er, rember not to disturb your grandfather when he is busy." Ling Qianxun hugged his two children and said to them while stroking their heads without showing an expression of annoyance or anger, always keeping a smile, as if only reminding them what they should not do.
"Don't worry, they didn't bother ." Ling Ahlang smiled warmly at his grandchildren. Ling Guosheng looked lovingly at his great-grandchildren, descendants of his own blood.
Ling Qianxun nodded and asked hesitantly, "Father, he is..." Her gaze on Ling Tian seed to indicate that she knew him, but she wasn't really sure.
"He is..." Ling Ahlang hesitated whether to tell the truth.
"He is Ling Tian, my cousin..." However, Ling Guosheng completed and clarified the hesitation.
"Is indeed him?" Ling Qianxun was completely surprised and looked at Ling Tian. At once, she nodded and bowed her head to Ling Tian and said after a few seconds, "Nice to et you, this girl's na is Qianxun and these two are my children, Ruoxi and Tianyan." Ling Qianxun was also one of the people who knew about the history of the family and of course, the practitioners, so her first thought was that Ling Tian was one of the practitioners who had attained the legendary immortality!
Ling Tian nodded, keeping that gentle smile on his face, radiating a slight feeling of longing and nostalgia. He realized that that woman he had seen since he arrived and, who was precisely occupying what was his ho in the past, was this woman in front of him.
In all this ti, Ling Tian had not taken his eyes off Ling Qianxun, as well as his two children: Ling Ruoxi and Ling Tianyan. Curiously, Ling Qianxun bore a certain resemblance to his adoptive mother plus she was also a beauty; similarly, Ling Ruoxi sohow reminded him of his older sister, Ling Wan'er, while Ling Tianyan bore a slight resemblance to him.
It seed as if he was seeing his old, little self from his past, those monts of happiness he spent with his older sister and parents, as well as his entire family.
"Only they know about all this, right?" Ling Tian asked softly.
"Yes, my granddaughter's husband also knows about this, and right now he is out settling so family matters." Ling Guosheng comnted, expressing that other than those present, all the offspring of the current Ling family did not belong to the world of practitioners or cultivators.
"It better be like this..." Ling Tian nodded with a gentle expression as he looked at the two children, who would switch their gazes between Ling Tian towards Qing Sha and Lan Yin, knowing that they were little children like them.
Ling Tian did not want this peaceful and loving family to experience a tragedy like in the past again.
"Haaih, that's what I wish for the most..." Ling Guosheng sighed and said, as if he also had the sa thoughts as Ling Tian but was not allowed in the end.
"Big brother, don't worry..." Ling Tian smiled confidently as he gently walked towards the two children.
Ling Tianyan and Ling Ruoxi blinked in confusion as they saw Ling Tian extend his hands towards them. But neither of them were afraid, as if Ling Tian's affectionate smile conveyed peace and love to them.
"If you are good children, cheerful youths and good-hearted adults, then your destinies will be great..."
The index fingers of both Ling Tian's hands finally reached out and gently touched both children's foreheads.
