āWhat happened? Why is your mind fluctuating so violently?ā Jasmine suddenly asked . She felt that Yun Cheās mind was in an unprecedented level of turmoil, so much that she could even distinctly hear the violent ābadumpā ābadumpā sounds of Yun Cheās heart beating .
Azure Cloud Continentā¦ 1999 Profound Yearā¦ 10 years oldā¦ Su Lingāerā¦ the scarā¦ the same nameā¦ similar complexionā¦ and the style of speech thatās exactly the sameā¦
All of this weaved within Yun Cheās mind chaotically, causing his spirit to tremble incomparably violently . This was because everything that happened pointed towards one possibilityā¦ Without caring whether or not he would frighten the girl, he suddenly reached out and lifted her dress and undergarments . On the upper end of her delicate right knee, he saw two small, crimson birthmarks side-by-sideā¦
The instant he saw those two birthmarks, Yun Cheās last emotional barrier completely collapsed . The blood in his body bubbled up, golden stars lined his vision, and he almost fainted on the spot! The things in the deepest recesses of his mind and spirit began to stir violently: grief, bitterness, pain, sorrowā¦ All these feelings milled forward, and his eyes instantly grew hazy with tears . The moment his emotions crumbled, he suddenly hugged the girl, and held on firmly, as if he were embracing his entire world .
āAhā¦ā The girl, who was completely unaware of the raging waves of emotion in Yun Cheās heart, was startled by Yun Cheās sudden action and change of heart . However, as for Yun Cheās sudden tight embrace, for some reason, she didnāt feel any rejection at all . After quite a while, she said feebly: āBig Brother Yun Che, it hurts, youāre hugging me too tightly, uuā¦ā
Right now, every single one of this girlās words was like heavenly music from his dreams to him . Every aspect of her tightly linked to his spirit and lifeline . Hearing her voice, Yun Che loosened his arms practically in fright, then grew afraid that this would scare her, and hurriedly released his arms . But his hands still lightly rested on her thin shoulders, seeming as though he was afraid that if he didnāt hold on to her, she would disappear right in front of him .
Sheās Lingāerā¦ My Lingāerā¦
Thenā¦ All of this, is indeed a dreamscape brought by the Evil God?
A dreamscape is alright! As long as I can see my Lingāer again, even if itās a dreamscape, Iām willing to stay asleep foreverā¦
āBig Brother Yun Che, why did you cry all of sudden?ā The girlās heart was filled with bewilderment, but seeing the tear stains on Yun Cheās face, her eyes filled with pity . She reached out, met his gaze, and lightly wiped off the teardrops on his face . She definitely didnāt know how extremely precious every one of Yun Cheās tears was, and that they had gushed for her .
āIāmā¦ Iām alright . Onlyā¦ only, some sand got in my eyes . ā Yun Che shook his head and gave a clumsy excuse as he tried to hold his tears back . In this world, the only thing that could cause his state of mind to go out of control so thoroughly was Su Lingāerā¦ even though everything in his awareness right now was an illusion . Su Lingāer could never actually appear in front of his eyes again, because his Lingāer perished in his arms back then, and he had personally buried her within that bamboo forest .
āEh? Does it hurt a lot? Uuuā¦ Iāll help blow into Big Brother Yun Cheās eye, alright? Once, when I was really young, some sand got in my eyes . But after Mother blew into my eye, I was completely alright . ā
As the girl spoke, her pink and tender lips puckeredā¦ The Su Lingāer in front of him was so innocent and unaffected, so carefree and without worry, and her eyes were so bright and clear . Yes, the current her was still situated under the care and pampering of her close relatives . She hadnāt gone through any great changes, and still didnāt understand what sadness was, what sorrow was, what enmity was, what pain wasā¦ The Su Lingāer in his memories, with that eternally distressed and detached expression in her eyes, caused his heart to fill with needle-like pain every time he thought of her .
āItās alright, the sandās already gone . Look, Iām fine . ā Yun Che firmly blinked at her, and his mouth formed an extremely warm smile: āWhatās most important now, are the injuries on Lingāerās legā¦ Everythingāll be okay in a flash, and it wonāt hurt at all . ā
Yun Che once again covered his hands over the girlās bruised leg . Accompanied by a warm profound energy, the Sky Poison Pearlās purifying force gently entered her bruise and slowly nourished itā¦ Then, he took out a medicine bottle and delicately applied the ointment on her calf, ankleā¦ He then swapped to her other leg, and applied the ointment on the two symmetrical scars there .
In the entire process, Yun Cheās actions were very light, as if he was touching a beautiful and frail crystal doll . With Yun Cheās medical expertise, this little injury could not even be injury, but in order for Su Lingāer to not even feel a sliver of pain, he used his all to focus his mind . Painstaking effort was concentrated within every one of his movements . After the entire process, he looked even more exhausted than a patient nearing death . However, he gladly suffered through it .
In not even half a quarter of an hour, the bruise on Su Lingāerās ankle and calf had miraculously disappeared completely . Even the scar on her leg had also lightened by a lot . In at most three days, it would also completely disappear . Su Lingāer shook her leg a little, and then cried out in surprise: āWah! It doesnāt hurt anymore! Not even a little! Big Brother Yun Che, youāre seriously too awesome!ā
The girl looked in his eyes with a gaze full of brilliantly shining stars . The admiration she felt for Yun Che had sharply risen by a substantial amount .
Yun Che used his profound energy to drive away the dirt on Su Lingāerās shoes and socks . Then, he carefully put them back on Su Lingāerās legs . Su Lingāer did not resist, nor did she refuse . She didnāt even feel embarrassed at all . In her heart, there contained a type of warm happiness and an odd sort of feeling that she could not say out loudā¦ Even she herself, did not understand why that was the case .
āLingāer! Lingāerā¦ Where are you? Lingāerā¦ā
Suddenly, anxious shouts sounded in the distance . And what was being shouted, was surprisingly Su Lingāerās name .
Yun Che heard it before Su Lingāer . With a twitch of his brow, his gaze swept over, and saw a middle-aged man hastily run over . He was in a panic, his hair was disheveled, and the clothes on his body were rather worn out . However, there was a type of calm and mighty upper class feeling could be captured on his bearing .
Heāsā¦ Su Lingāerās father?
The middle-aged manās footsteps were lightning-fast, and he traveled over in a short time . Having heard his voice, Su Lingāerās eyes shined as she spoke excitedly: āPapa, itās Papaās voice!ā
She stood up suddenly, and ran over in the middle-aged manās direction . However, after running a few steps, she turned around and looked at Yun Che, and stopped again . Standing at her former place, she beckoned at the middle-aged man: āPapa! Iām here, Iām here!!ā
āLingāer!ā The middle-aged man became overjoyed, and rushed over with his fastest speed . He grasped Su Lingāerās shoulders at once, and spoke with an extremely anxious tone: āThank god thank godā¦ Lingāer, why did you run to such a faraway place? Are you injured anywhere? Did anyone try to kidnap you?ā
āPapa relax, even though there were bad guys, butā¦ Big Brother Yun Che saved me . Big Brother Yun Che is really amazing . Not only did he smack those bad guys running all at once, he also made the place I fell and hurt myself not hurt at all . ā
The middle-aged manās entire heart was full concern about Su Lingāerās safety, and when he saw her, all his attention was even more so focused on her . He had only now noticed Yun Cheās existence . He took a step forward, and said with immense gratitude: āThis little brother, thank you for rescuing my daughter, this Su really is eternally grateful . ā
With Yun Cheās arrogant bones, let alone middle-aged man, even if itās a highly respected elderly person, he would ordinarily just deal with them with a straight face . But the one before his eyes was Su Lingāerās father, which was an entirely different matter . He hastily greeted back: āSenior Su is too polite . Lingāer is kind and cute, anyone would come to her rescue if they saw her . This junior also just merely lent a hand . ā
From the middle-aged manās complexion, what Yun Che saw was the deep care and concern for Su Lingāer . At least, his fatherly love toward Su Lingāer wasnāt the least bit impure .
Yun Cheās modesty, gave the middle-aged man a very good impression . He smiled and said: āTo receive such a praise from little brother here, my little girl here must be thrilled . ā At this time, he noticed Xia Qingyue, who was laying there without a sound . Even though she was only silently laying there, there still remained the goddess-like beauty that would drive one into ecstasy . The middle-aged man went blank for a bit, then immediately recovered and asked: āLittle brother, is this one your friend? Looking from her complexion, is she haunted by a severe illness?ā
Yun Che nodded: āThis is my wife . Her body has been affected by the cold, and her vitality has been severely injured . Perhaps she will remain unconscious for a very long time . ā
āSo thatās how it isā¦ā The middle-aged man nodded, and inside his heart he exclaimed: The man is otherworldly handsome, the woman is as beautiful as a goddess; what a fine-looking pair! Their background definitely isnāt ordinary . Especially this woman, how can a normal family raise up such a goddess-like girl . This manās age looks only to be seventeen or eighteen, yet his profound energy aura has already reached Spirit Profound Realm . He ought to be some disciple or even a heir of some top level sectā¦
As he thought till here, the middle-aged man spoke: āLittle brother, you ought to have come from a foreign place, right? Do you currently have any place to stay? If you arenāt unwilling, how about staying for a few days at our Grandwake Clan? Itāll also allow this Su to express his gratitude . ā
The inside of Yun Cheās heart moved . He took a glance at the unconscious Xia Qingyue, then took another glance at Su Lingāer, and said: āThis junior does indeed need a place of settlement to treat my wifeās injuriesā¦ If thatās the case, then this Junior will gratefully receive Seniorās hospitality . ā
āHahahaha, do not be so modest little brother . Compare to your great kindness of saving my daughter, this isnāt considered to be much . ā The middle-aged man started to laugh warmly: āOh right, this oneās surname is Su, with the name Hengshan . Come, Little Brother Yun . ā
āBig Brother Yun Che will go home together with us? Thatās great thatās great thatās great!!ā Su Lingāer was excited to the point of jumping . That exceptionally happy appearance made Su Hengshan feel somewhat inexplicable . He made a spoiling smile: āNot only is Little Brother Yun our benefactor, he is also our guest now . Youāll have to learn some manners, shouting and yelling like this doesnāt make you good girl, okay?ā
āHeee! Papa really is naggy . Big Brother Yun Che is the bestest person, he wouldnāt complain about me . ā As she spoke, Su Lingāer ran over and grabbed Yun Cheās hand and said while grinning: āBig Brother Yun Che, you promised to come back home with us, you canāt escape halfway okay?ā
āOkay!ā Yun Che extended his hand pushed Su Lingāerās little nose tip with a faint smileā¦ He really wanted to know just what kind of family was Su Lingāer born and raised in .
Su Hengshan felt somewhat puzzled for a moment . Calculating from the time, Lingāer and Little Brother Yun at most have met for half an hour at most, how did they become so close already? Moreover, looking at Lingāerās manner, she, who usually didnāt like to meet with strangers, was exceptionally fond of Little Brother Yunā¦ How curious .
Yun Che carried Xia Qingyue, followed behind Su Hengshan, and walked towards the āGrandwake Clanā that Su Lingāer had grown up in .
