When the longsword that had disappeared for a long time returned to Xu Ling 'er's hand, her eyes finally had a long-lost smile. Her slender fingers gently stroked the sword. Beneath the smiling eyes, love was a touch of sorrow that couldn't be erased.
"I thought I couldn't find it."
Xiao Lian smiled and took a step forward." I saw this by chance. The in-charge's father-in-law said it was useless. I brought it over."
Xu Ling 'er laughed self-mockingly. The owner of this sword, who had once been invincible on the battlefield and terrified his enemies, had gradually been buried in the sand in the long river of time.
Xiao Lian looked at her worriedly." Miss, don't you like it?”
"I like it." She muttered,"It's just that I'm thinking of you."”
A complicated look flashed across Little Tian's eyes as he slowly walked up to her.
"Is this sister's father's sword?”
"Yes, that's right." Xu Ling 'er placed the sword in his hand." You don't have a surname yet. Since you call me Sister, why don't you take my surname, Ling?" From now on, you will be called Ling Tian. Alright?"
Little Tian smiled and nodded heavily.
"Alright, as long as I can always be with sister, I'm willing to do anything.”
Xu Ling 'er smiled and took the sword in his hand. She handed him the sword in her hand.
"This sword belonged to my father. I'll give it to you now. You must practice martial arts well.”
Ling Tian was shocked as he looked at the sword that Xu Ling 'er handed over. He suddenly felt that the sword was exceptionally heavy.
Seeing his hesitation, Xu Ling 'er laughed at herself and explained,""Now that the Ling family is carrying a bad reputation, it is really difficult for you to become a member of the Ling family. However, you must think about this matter carefully.”
Ling Tian met Xu Ling 'er's gaze and smiled as he slowly held the sword in his hand.
Of course, he knew what kind of heavy burden he would have to bear if he took over this sword.
"Sister, I will protect you with my sword.”
Xu Ling 'er's eyes were filled with smiles as she patted Ling Tian's shoulder. Xin 'er and Xiao Long hurriedly stepped forward." Sister, you're biased. Why could he only accept Little Tian? Xin 'er is clearly your sister.”
Xu Ling 'er rubbed Xin' er and Xiaolong's heads.
"The two of you are still young. There are many things that you don't understand. His life would be in danger if he wanted to be family with his sister. It's very likely that he'll be like Little Tiger."
Xin 'er was stunned. Everything that happened that day seemed to still be in front of her eyes.
Xiao Long's face was pale. He hesitated for a long time before he walked forward with a firm gaze." Sister, I want to protect you too." Although Xiaolong was still young, he could protect his sister in the future.”
" Xin 'er…Xin' er…" Xin 'er bit her lips. Her heart was still trembling. She did not know what to say next.
Xu Ling 'er rubbed her little face." The two of you are really too young." Can we talk about this later? You can protect yourself after you practice your kung fu.”
Xin 'er heaved a sigh of relief. However, Xiaolong frowned unhappily.
Ling Tian looked at the two of them and chuckled, squatting down in front of them," The two of you, can we talk about this when you are older?”
The little dragon snorted and grabbed Xu Ling 'er's hand." Then you have to promise me." When Xiaolong grew up. Xiaolong had to be like Brother Xiaotian.”
"Sure," Xu Ling 'er picked up her sword and continued to practice with them.
Xiao Lian looked at them, then turned to look at the sky outside the palace wall, her expression solemn. Suddenly, the sound of a cannon salute resounded through the sky.
Xu Ling 'er paused and turned to look at Xiao Lian." Did something happen outside the palace?" It's actually so lively."
Xiao Lian looked at them guiltily and lowered her head."Maybe it's because some family is getting married, that's why there's such a big commotion.”
Xu Ling 'er nodded, not suspecting anything. After all, the voice from the front was too far away to reach the Cold Palace.
In Xu Ling 'er's eyes, every day was the same. However, during this period of time, she discovered something even more interesting. She really didn't have the time to practice with the three children alone, and her own martial arts had not improved much.
She needed stronger opponents to strengthen her martial arts.
Hence, the three people who were supervising the Cold Palace became Xu Ling 'er's targets.
Every day, when the time came, she would step out with Ling Tian to lure them into action.
Time slowly passed, and summer arrived without them realizing it.
Ling Tian and Xu Ling 'er's martial arts had unknowingly improved.
The little dragon watched the two of them exchange blows with the other two men in black in a daze and could not help but shake his head. He felt that the two men in black were really pitiful.
Every day became their practice target.
Not long after, Ling Tian's body was covered in wounds. Seeing this, Xu Ling 'er hurriedly ordered him to retreat while she defended against them alone.
"Young lady! Isn't it a little inappropriate for you to be like this every day?”
Xu Ling 'er chuckled." I don't think there's anything wrong with that."”As she spoke, she pointed her sword at his face.
Seeing this, the other man in black chuckled and retreated to a place where he could not see.
“欸! Little brat! You left me alone!"
" She's no match for you." A voice came from the roof. Why should I make a move? The emperor didn't say that we have to play these boring tricks with her every day.”
The Emperor?
Xu Ling 'er was confused. Wasn't the person who imprisoned her here Mu Yunlan?
How did he become the emperor?
She was distracted and a wound appeared on her arm. Seeing this, Ling Tian hurriedly rushed forward and pulled Xu Ling 'er out of the battle.
Xu Ling 'er looked at the man in black with a burning gaze.
The man felt a little guilty under her gaze and immediately realized that the man had said something wrong. Just as he was about to turn around and run, a scolding voice came from behind.
"Stop!"
The black-robed man's figure paused for a moment, and his figure still disappeared in front of Xu Ling 'er.
Xu Ling 'er slowly turned around and looked at Xiao Lian.
Xiao Lian was shocked and lowered her head under her burning gaze. Although she did not know what was going on, her burning gaze made her feel guilty.
Xu Ling 'er slowly walked up to her, recalling the day she received the sword and heard the sound of the cannon salute.
Although she believed Xiao Lian's words and didn't ask further, she was indeed suspicious. After all, ordinary wealthy families wouldn't put on such a big show.
"Xiao Lian, tell me. Are you hiding something from me?”#
