Chapter 741: It Must Be My Father Who Did It

"Because my mother said that those who hold high positions are generally more steady, you seem to have nothing to do with steadiness."

Yun Batian: "......"

He could not refute his great‑grandson's words.

It seems that ever since meeting his great‑granddaughter, he has never been calm.

"Xiao Hu, he may have taken the back door to get that position."

Yun Batian: "......"

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Ye Qingran scolded with a mouthful of curses, but her face couldn't stop smiling, "Call great‑grandfather quickly!"

"Great‑grandfather, hello!"

"Hey!"

Yun Batian looked at the well‑behaved, sensible cute child before him, and felt a softening in his heart.

No wonder when they first met he felt a certain familiarity; he hadn't expected it to be his own great‑grandson!

"Come, great‑grandfather, give me a hug."

Yun Batian held the two children, finding them fragrant and soft, and couldn't help feeling a surge of satisfaction.

As he grew older, the greatest happiness was simply watching the children each start families and enjoy grandchildren.

They are his daughter's great‑grandchildren, his great‑granddaughter's children, and his own great‑grandchildren.

"Great‑grandfather, I take back what I just said; you are the most steady Clan Leader Xiao Hu has ever mentioned!"

"Great‑grandfather, you grow stronger with age; you must have been a handsome man when you were young!"

"Great‑grandfather..."

The two kids were sweet‑mouthed, coaxing Yun Batian into uncontrollable joy; ever since holding them, his mouth corner hasn't dropped.

Looking at his good‑looking, sweet‑mouthed, clever great‑grandchildren, his heart swelled with delight.

He decided that he must find a time to show them off properly.

Now he not only has a great‑granddaughter, but also great‑grandsons!

A guaranteed winner in life!

Ye Qingran packed her things and followed Yun Batian back to Neicheng.

Since they have already acknowledged kinship, Ye Qingran naturally won't continue living in this temporary mansion.

In Neicheng, Yun Zhongyue and Yun Zhongge were looking for Yun Batian, and discovered he had gone to the outer city and already returned.

"Wow, this place is so beautiful!"

Xiaohu Xiaocheng were still on their first visit to Neicheng, and couldn't help being drawn by its breathtaking scenery.

"I want to ride that celestial crane!"

"Go ahead!" Yun Batian smiled indulgently, and immediately had someone take them to ride the celestial crane.

Watching the two children walk away, Yun Batian comforted them: "Don't worry, I've arranged people to protect them."

Ye Qingran raised an eyebrow and retorted, "Where did you see me worrying?"

Xiaohu Xiaocheng, mischievous and sprightly, being on Yun Tribe's territory, wasn't worried at all.

At that moment, two figures hurried over with long strides.

It turned out to be the brothers Yun Zhongyue and Yun Zhongge.

"Father, you secretly went looking for Xiao Ran'er behind our backs; that's so unfair!"

Yun Zhongyue said irritably.

"Who told you to sleep in? You deserve it!"

Yun Zhongyue and Yun Zhongge: "......"

"Xiao Ran'er, good morning!"

"How did you sleep last night?"

Yun Zhongyue smiled like a flower.

"Last night?"

She didn't sleep at all last night!

Compared with Yun Zhongyue, Yun Zhongge was obviously much more introverted.

"Xiao Ran'er!" His face flushed a bit, as if he had a lot to say but couldn't get it out.

"Xiao Ran'er, tell us about sister's matters!"

The few of them entered the reception hall, and Yun Zhongyue couldn't wait to ask.

The atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

Because that day, Ye Qingran said Yun Ling was harmed by Yun Lan, and they subconsciously thought Yun Ling was gone. Yet their hearts refused to accept that fact, wanting to hear Ye Qingran say it herself.

"Sister..."

Yun Zhongyue wrestled with it for a long time, unable to voice the question.

Yun Batian and Yun Zhonghe's expressions were also very solemn, their eyes hiding caution, fearing to hear an answer they didn't want.

Ye Qingran read their reactions and knew it was time to tell them the truth.

She felt somewhat grateful in her heart.

Grateful that Yun Ling was still alive.

Otherwise, with so many people awaiting her return, if she were gone, it would be a heavy sorrow for those who cared about her.

"Grandfather, both uncles, don't worry, my mother is still alive."

Ye Qingran said lightly.

Yet for Yun Batian and the others, it was the most beautiful sound in the world.

"Really? Is sister still alive?!"

Yun Zhongyue was overwhelmed with excitement and suddenly sprang up from her seat, trembling all over.

Yun Zhongge reacted exactly the same as he did.

Yun Batian did not stand, but his shocked emotions were no less at all.

Or rather, he was already stunned, having forgotten how to react.

"She... where is she?"

Yun Batian only regained his voice after a while.

"She also came today."

All three wore hopeful expressions, with fierce light blazing in their eyes, like the sun.

Ye Qingran thought, and on the empty ground before her, after a ripple of water, a jade bed materialized.

On the jade bed lay a stunningly beautiful woman.

At the first glimpse of Yun Ling, Yun Batian suddenly sprang to his feet.

It's Ling Er!

It's his Ling Er! His beloved daughter!

She really is still alive!

Although she kept her eyes closed and remained motionless, he could feel her breath!

"Ling Er..." Yun Batian's voice was soft yet heavy.

He shuffled forward with heavy steps, his gaze never blinking as he stared at that face, familiar beyond familiarity.

His Ling Er has finally returned!

More than twenty years ago, she vanished without a trace; back then she was not yet eighteen, still bearing the fresh look of a girl.

Now, she has shed that freshness and grown into a gentle woman.

No matter how she changes, she is Yun Batian's daughter, his Ling Er forever!

"Sister!"

Yun Zhongyue and Yun Zhongge's eyes were bloodshot, their gazes wet with tears.

When sister left, they were still naive youths, always calling from behind sister, begging to play with her.

Those memories seemed as if they were just yesterday.

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years slipped away silently.

Reunited, they were already middle‑aged.

Even though many regrets remain, the ending is good.

"What happened to Ling Er?"

Although Yun Ling had a breath of life, it felt very distant to him.

Ye Qingran shook her head, "She was sealed by a mysterious Seal; I'm not clear on the exact situation."

"Mysterious force?"

Ye Qingran nodded, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be my father who did it."

"Your father?"

Yun Batian only now realized, and he still hasn't had a chance to ask about Ye Qingran's birth father, the man who abducted his daughter!
