Thinking of this, Ziyan turned her head to pretend to look elsewhere, forcing her eyes to squint and holding back tears.
Ling Yuxuan quickly sensed her inner struggle and pain.
She recalled that Ziyan had mentioned a man named Ji Shaochen who had betrayed her, but she had hardly talked about her family, such as her biological parents and sisters, or her family background.
The fact that she was unwilling to mention them must mean that she had suffered deep wounds from her relatives. Ling Yuxuan looked at the girl in front of him, who had just turned 15, feeling heartbroken. He secretly speculated about what kind of growing experiences she had before coming to this world.
He always felt that when she was with her family, there was an inexplicable sadness and complexity in her heart.
Thus, he vowed to find out why she was so sorrowful and conflicted.
"Let's go!"
Ling Yuxuan finally moved his feet, picked up the large and small backpacks from the ground, placing the larger one on his shoulder while holding the smaller one in his left hand.
His right hand was not idle either; he tightly held Ziyan's left hand. Zhou nodded with tears in her eyes at her daughter's instructions. She wanted to say something more but looked up at the sky and ultimately fell silent.
Zi Lao Er also looked at the tightly clasped hands of Ling Yuxuan and Ziyan with a somewhat complicated expression.
Ziying reluctantly called out to her sister, "Gu Young Master, my sister can be a bit willful at times, so please be understanding."
Ling Yuxuan had already noticed that Ziying no longer looked at him with the same infatuated gaze as before, which naturally put him at ease.
Being smart, he understood that the sisterly bond was strong; the older sister let go of her feelings for him to support her younger sister.
He cast aside any previous grievances against Ziying and even felt a bit more respect for her.
Hearing her concern and worry for her sister, he straightened his expression and nodded at Ziying, assuring her, "Don't worry, I definitely will."
"Wait a moment."
Ziyan said a few words to Ling Yuxuan, then gently withdrew her hand and walked towards her sister, pulling her into the inner room where her sister's bedroom was located.
She handed over the gifts that had been casually placed on the bed to her sister and said, "Sister, please help me keep these for now."
"Okay." Ziying nodded with a light smile in agreement.
"Well, Sister, I'm leaving now. I will come back to see you often."
"Yes, yes, go ahead. I will take good care of things at home, so you don't need to worry. You just focus on learning your skills with Gu Young Master; our family will probably rely on you in the future."
"Hehe! Alright, thank you, Sister."
After the sisters finished speaking, they linked arms and walked out of the room. When they reached Ling Yuxuan, Ziying solemnly placed her sister's small hand into Ling Yuxuan's hand.
Ling Yuxuan took hold of the girl's small hand without any hesitation or pretense and then walked towards the courtyard exit. Qin Ming looked meaningfully at the young couple.
He then fixed his gaze on Zhou for a moment, as if to reassure her: to let her know everything would be fine.
He turned around and followed closely behind the young couple with large strides.
The three members of the Zi Family stood at the Yard Entrance to see them off, watching as the three figures moved far away before slowly turning back into the yard.
At this moment, Ziyan, Ling Yuxuan, and Qin Ming had walked far into the Field and could no longer see anyone behind them.
Meanwhile, four Masked Men jumped out from a nearby thicket.
Two of them quickly approached; one took the small backpack from Ling Yuxuan's hand while the other removed the large backpack from her back and slung it onto himself. Ling Yuxuan nodded at everyone.
A group of people then gathered their energy and used their lightness skill to swiftly leap towards Hot Spring Valley without stopping.
As evening fell, the forest gradually quieted down, and the only sounds that could be heard were the whooshing winds around the few people leaping through the trees.
Soon, after about half an hour, everyone returned to Hot Spring Valley.
Upon reaching the hot spring by the pond, the few Masked Men automatically vanished into thin air, leaving only Qin Ming, Ling Yuxuan, and Ziyan.
Qin Ming seemed to have something to say to Ling Yuxuan, so Ziyan loosened her grip on Ling Yuxuan's hand and tried to step away to give them some space.
However, quick-witted Ling Yuxuan immediately pulled her back to her side.
At the same time, she said to Qin Ming, "Master has something to say; feel free to speak. From today on, Yan'er is no longer an outsider."
Ling Yuxuan emphasized the word "outsider" to clearly express her stance.
Qin Ming's eyes brightened at this, thinking: When did I ever consider Yan'er an outsider? This kid has indeed found someone special; even my intentions can be misunderstood.
With that thought, Qin Ming couldn't help but chuckle helplessly.
"You little rascal, how could I not know your little thoughts? I came with you today just to remind you that while love is important, you must not forget your more significant mission." As he said this, Qin Ming couldn't help but glance at Ziyan. With just that one look, Ziyan understood that Qin Ming was not only reminding Ling Yuxuan but also subtly warning herself not to let him get distracted from important matters.
"Master, rest assured. I will not forget my parents' vengeance."
"Good. That reassures me. Oh, by the way, you need to hurry up and teach Yan'er well."
Qin Ming nodded and approached Ling Yuxuan again. "Here, take this. It is a pair with the jade pendant around Yaner's neck."
Saying this, Qin Ming placed a dragon-patterned jade pendant of the same quality as the phoenix-patterned one Ziyan wore into Ling Yuxuan's palm.
Ling Yuxuan lifted the pendant and examined it closely before squinting at her master Qin Ming as if asking: Master! What do you mean by this?
Who would have thought that Qin Ming would turn away, not offering an explanation, only saying lightly, "I'll tell you about this when the time is right. For now, I'll be staying across from you to supervise your Martial Arts Training, Yan'er, so don't slack off."
"Oh!"
When Ziyan heard her name mentioned, she couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. Ling Yuxuan chuckled softly as he brushed her long, black hair that flowed like Silken Hair in the wind.
Then he comforted her, saying, "It's clear that Master and Aunt have a story."
After saying that, he held up the Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant in front of Ziyan.
Ziyan had already had a vague premonition since the last time Qin Ming met Zhou, especially today when these two had given them the two jade pendants one after the other.
This further confirmed Ziyan's earlier suspicions and doubts. She just didn't expect that Ling Yuxuan had noticed it too.
Thinking of this, Ziyan could only face reality and nod repeatedly, "Yeah, I didn't think you noticed as well."
"Haha! Silly girl, actually I sensed it from the moment you started to doubt. It seems we really are in sync, a pair made in heaven! You see, what does this Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant represent if not a pair? It looks like the story between Master and my future mother-in-law is definitely not that simple."
After saying this, Ling Yuxuan winked at Ziyan with his incredibly charming eyes.
"Then it's up to you to figure out this matter."
