Chapter 76: Intimate Duo, Long Lingxi and Long Xingyu's Reunion!

"A girl?" Ye Ling was indeed a bit dazed.

A flicker of confusion flashed through his eyes.

Good grief, this butterfly effect is quite powerful; the original protagonist has actually become the fated heroine. What would the situation be with Cai'er? A lesbian?

Oh right, they don't know each other now.

"What's wrong, little brother? Do you have some opinion about girls becoming Knights?" Li Xin looked at Ye Ling's blank expression and teased.

"That's not it, I just really didn't expect it." Ye Ling was helpless and confirmed again: "Are you sure she really is a girl?"

"Hmph, she did indeed enter disguised as a man at the very beginning, just like me, dressing as a man to hide her identity." Li Xin said proudly: "It's just that your big sister here is smart; I exposed her right away, and suddenly she didn't even have the possibility of arguing!"

"What?" Ye Ling seemed to have guessed something.

Li Xin puffed out her chest slightly and smiled: "Of course, it was thanks to your big sister's 'broad-mindedness'; in the end, she didn't even dare to look at me and had no choice but to admit it."

"Then, during this time, our relationship got better and better. She even stayed at my place; we trained together, went shopping together, took baths together, and so on. In the end, naturally, everything was seen. Could your big sister not know whether she is a man or a woman?"

Li Xin answered straightforwardly.

Listening to these words, Ye Ling couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Good grief, good grief, good grief.

"Sister Xin'er, you really..." Ye Ling looked at Li Xin with a complicated expression, the intent to roast her in his eyes very obvious.

But Li Xin misunderstood.

She grabbed Ye Ling and smiled: "What, little brother Ye Ling, are you jealous of a little sister?"

"Big sister knows that big sister is very..."

Before Li Xin could finish speaking, she saw Ye Ling interrupt: "Forget about the jealousy; it's just regret and a pity. Regret that such a little girl was 'caught' by you, and feeling sorry for her—ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, I was wrong, I was wrong."

Before Ye Ling could finish speaking, Li Xin's jade-like hand had already reached for the soft flesh on Ye Ling's waist, pinching it hard, giving a strong sense of what is called being henpecked.

"Little brother, is your big sister really that bad?" Li Xin's voice was a bit chilly.

Seeing this made Ye Ling shiver, and he hurriedly shouted: "Naturally not, Sister Xin, in my heart you can be said to be the most gentle and kind."

"That's more like it." Li Xin gave a coquettish snort.

This tone made Ye Ling laugh inwardly; not having seen each other for two years, this warm feeling actually made Ye Ling quite happy.

It was the same old recipe as always.

Ye Ling would not let anyone bully him in this life, but Li Xin, this big sister, could be the exception.

Even if she wasn't powerful now, she had been Ye Ling's safe haven in the past.

"By the way, little brother, since you are so concerned about Lingxi, she must have some connection to that teacher of yours, right?"

"Otherwise, shall I take you over to see her?"

Li Xin suddenly spoke up.

Ye Ling nodded and said: "Okay."

Soon, the two walked toward Li Xin's residence.

She hadn't changed it in these two years, so Ye Ling was quite familiar with the path.

Inside a certain room of Li Xin's residence.

A young girl wearing small Knight soft armor sat cross-legged on the bed, with a fair amount of pure Light Spiritual Power flickering with strange radiance around her body.

The girl was not old, but those long eyelashes, straight nose bridge, and fair skin were enough to make any man or woman crazy with envy; even though she was still young, she definitely possessed a beauty that could topple cities.

Even though she hadn't awakened her Internal Spiritual Power, endless Light Spiritual Power circled around her body, cheering for her meditative aura.

It seemed as if she were the darling of the light.

However, the Spiritual Power fluctuations suddenly became unstable.

She slowly opened her eyes, her azure pupils looking outward. Although she couldn't specifically perceive the fluctuations of elements, as a Light Goddess Divine Body, she could sense any change in the light.

And she could also feel the direction of these light elements?

"Is it an illusion?" The girl was puzzled. She lifted her small feet, put on her shoes, ended her cultivation, walked toward the door, and opened it, only to see two people walking from afar.

The girl didn't recognize one of the boys; he was very unfamiliar, but his handsome face and the light aura released from his body made the girl feel a sense of closeness.

But closeness was closeness, and a stranger was still a stranger.

It was just that the pink-haired girl holding that boy's arm was very familiar to her; wasn't that the good big sister Li Xin who had always taken care of her?

Li Xin reacted when she saw the girl, waved her hand, and shouted: "Lingxi, you're awake?"

Yes, the girl was precisely Long Lingxi.

"Sister Li Xin, who is this?" Long Lingxi turned to look at Ye Ling, her big eyes blinking, her gaze puzzled. She knew Li Xin very well and also knew that she wouldn't easily make such an intimate gesture toward someone, let alone a person of the opposite sex.

So this person probably had some intimate relationship with Li Xin, right?

"This is the good little brother Ye Ling from Yulong Pass that I told you about before. Two years ago, he went to Yulong Pass, where the main Knight Temple is located, to join the army, and recently returned with our teacher."

"Then he came to see me the first chance he got. I brought him over for you to see. Let me tell you, this little brother of mine is a genius. He's only thirteen this year and has already become a real Knight at Yulong Pass. In the future, he will definitely be able to become at least a Mithril Knight!"

Li Xin spoke very proudly, then turned to look at Ye Ling and introduced: "Little brother, this is the genius Knight girl Long Lingxi I just told you about. How is it? Pretty, right?"

"But let me tell you, 'pretty' is only the simplest understanding of Lingxi. Whether it's combat talent or character, she perfectly fits a Knight, and even exceeds it!"

Li Xin introduced them to each other, but neither of them paid much attention to her. Long Lingxi stared blankly at Ye Ling, a flicker of doubt flashing in her eyes, then she reacted, took a step back, and performed a Knight salute: "Knight Squire Long Lingxi, greetings, Sir Knight!"

"There's no need to be so formal. If you don't mind, you can call me elder brother." Ye Ling laughed and returned the salute.

"Brother Ye Ling." Long Lingxi nodded, then remembered something, her eyes carrying a trace of excitement as she asked: "Brother Ye Ling, I would like to ask you, while you were at Yulong Pass, did you happen to know any other Knights with the surname Long?"

Ye Ling nodded: "I do, why?" "Then my father..." Long Lingxi shouted, but halfway through, she suddenly shut her mouth, looking regretful.

Ye Ling was puzzled: "Your father?" Ye Ling naturally knew Long Lingxi's father, after all, he was his own teacher.

"I haven't had a father since I was little; it was my mother who raised me." Long Lingxi sighed and said regretfully: "My mother told me that my father was an upright hero, defending against the Demon Race at Yulong Pass."

"But for these past few years, I haven't seen him return. I originally wanted to ask you for information about him, but I discovered that I don't even know what his name is..."

Long Lingxi said this very pitifully, her eyes carrying a trace of bitterness.

"Do you hate him?" Ye Ling wanted to see Long Lingxi's attitude toward Long Xingyu; although in the original work Long Haochen did not have much resentment, who could say for sure about such things?

Long Lingxi would not lie: "Hate? I don't hate him. I'm just wondering, why is there a Demon Race invasion in this world?"

"Why must we Humans have to defend against the Demon Race? Why can't we just enjoy family happiness with our loved ones?"

Long Lingxi was very confused, but she could not say anything.

She did not have a clear concept of a father, but having stayed with her mother since she was young, she was very sensitive to the concept of family.

In the past, she had also asked her mother, Bai Yue, about her father.

Every time, her mother would brush it off, but Long Lingxi would see her mother secretly shedding tears; she figured she must have deep feelings for her father.

From then on, Long Lingxi never asked again, only burying the seeds of hatred in her heart against the Demon Race, or rather, against those demons who loved slaughter and were detrimental to Humans.

Hearing this, Ye Ling let out a long breath internally, and a trace of pity for the little girl in front of him emerged.

Pitiful, and kind.

He was just about to say something.

But at this moment, a burst of pure light came from the sky, and that dense radiance instantly spread to the entire Haoyue Branch Hall.

Long Xingyu had wings growing from his back, and flapping them, he descended from the sky; the Light Spiritual Power on his body instantly attracted all beings around, including Ye Ling and Long Lingxi.

"Teacher." Ye Ling nodded, but when he turned his head to look, there was no one beside him.

He saw Long Xingyu walking with long strides to the front of Ye Ling, his face revealing regret, and he said bitterly: "Your teacher's wife, she doesn't want to see me."

"She is still hiding from me."

Long Xingyu wanted to cry, but he did not cry.

However, here, he could only find his disciple to confide in, automatically ignoring the two girls beside them.

"Still hiding?" Ye Ling was speechless, thinking to himself that Bai Yue was really something.

He naturally knew that Bai Yue was not hiding because she had cheated on his teacher, but because she was resisting due to her identity as the eldest daughter of the Demon Emperor.

After all, Humans and the Demon Race could be said to be irreconcilable enemies, even if Bai Yue was kind at heart and had never harmed any Human.

The only life she had ever created was with Long Xingyu.

But she could never get past this hurdle in her heart, and just like Long Xingyu, she was escaping.

It was just that the misunderstandings brought about by escaping would turn into seeds and fully bloom in the future—that would not do.

"Little brother, who is this?" Li Xin, who was on the side, looked over in confusion.

"This person is my teacher, and also..." Ye Ling turned his head to introduce him to Li Xin, but the last sentence was said while looking at Long Lingxi.

"Your teacher? This aura?" Li Xin was surprised; she had once seen a Mithril Foundation Knight from afar, but even when a Mithril Foundation Knight wore the Secret Silver Foundation Knight armor, it was not as powerful as the restrained aura of this plain-clothed Knight in front of her.

In other words, this teacher of her little brother? He was probably not simple, right?

And Long Lingxi was concerned about Ye Ling's final gaze, asking: "Brother Ye Ling, what were you just saying he also was?"

It was only after she shouted these words that Long Xingyu noticed the two girls, his eyes full of confusion, as if he had realized something.

His gaze turned to Ye Ling, seeing that he intended to do something, and he wanted to stop him, but he was not fast enough to block Ye Ling's mouth, letting her shout it out: "Also, he is your father."

Ye Ling's voice was earth-shattering, instantly leaving the two people involved stunned on the spot; the dazed Li Xin blinked her eyes and looked at her little brother, not having reacted yet.

"Brother Ye Ling, are you joking? This joke is not funny, please don't make it in the future." Long Lingxi was not angry, but her expression was somewhat sorrowful; she was clearly a bit unhappy.

"I am not joking. My teacher's name is Xingyu, and his surname is Long, just like you, Lingxi." Ye Ling explained, then reached out his hand, taking out the array he had prepared earlier: "If you don't believe me, this is a Bloodline Array; you can test it with him."

Li Xin was confused; Long Xingyu, this name was somewhat familiar to her.

And although Long Lingxi was still suspicious, her longing for a father's love made her take a step forward and place her small hand on the array.

Long Xingyu was frozen on the spot; he did not understand why Ye Ling would do this. He also understood that his disciple meant well, but this child might share his surname Long, but she might not be his own offspring, but rather the descendant of the Demon God Emperor... (In a sense, she truly was.) And she was indeed Bai Yue's daughter. If this final fig leaf were torn away, he and Yue'er... but the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. His disciple was purely well-intentioned and understood nothing; even if a good deed led to a bad outcome, he would have to bear it. If it really didn't work out, he would just take him back to Yulong Pass for day-and-night training to properly "torture" him, and then after he could take on the heavy responsibility, he would go find Moshenhuang Fengxiu and blow things up.

Thinking of this, he resolutely took a step forward and placed his hand on the array. The next moment, a strange Light Spiritual Power spread in all directions, enveloping Long Xingyu and Long Lingxi.

At this very moment, they only felt the light on their bodies becoming increasingly strange. After the light scattered, both of them felt a pull from the depths of their bloodlines; it was the pull of kinship.

Long Lingxi looked at Long Xingyu in front of her in surprise, exclaiming: "You... you... are you really my father?"

"I..." Long Xingyu was also dumbfounded. These so-called array contracts were actually given to Ye Ling by himself and his father Long Xingyu; he naturally knew that Ye Ling had not done anything underhanded.

He also knew that this was an absolutely complete array.

And the bloodline pull just now could not be faked; that pure power of light, that bloodline pull that belonged exactly to his next generation—it was absolutely, definitely his offspring! In other words, this child was truly his daughter!

On the surface, he showed no attitude, but in the core of Long Xingyu's Apocalypse and Slaughter Domain, a phantom of Long Xingyu slowly appeared, only now he did not have any solemnity.

Those eyes that had not cried for decades were already bloodshot, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes. He was extremely excited, and the entire Apocalypse and Slaughter Domain was no longer calm, but instead, scarlet magma appeared along with Long Xingyu's emotions.

It was just that this patch of magma had no lethality; it symbolized his calm yet surging heart.

"Hahaha, my daughter!"

"This child is my biological daughter! She is not Moshenhuang Fengxiu's!"

"I have a daughter, I, Long Xingyu, really have a daughter!"
