The two of them couldn’t wait to snuggle together again, rolling around on the sun-warmed grass, indulging in primal activities. When they were done, they lay side by side, looking at the white clouds in the sky with the most innocent expressions.

By noon, Ling Xiaoxiao stripped off her robe again and ran to Yangjiao Lake from a reed bed to bathe in the lake. When Song Yan approached, she giggled and splashed water towards him, shouting, "Senior Brother, are you coming?"

Song Yan looked at this young female cultivator.

She had completely shed her unease from being on the mountain and had become joyful.

For a long time...

After the two left the water, changed into their robes, and dried their wet hair, Ling Xiaoxiao suddenly said, "Let’s go to Cyan Phoenix Valley and have a look."

Song Yanqi asked, "Why?"

Ling Xiaoxiao said, "I want to spend days like this with you forever, Senior Brother."

After saying that, she looked at Song Yan with passionate eyes.

Song Yan also looked at her.

The two gazed at each other lovingly.

Song Yan slowly shook his head.

Ling Xiaoxiao stubbornly said, "I’ve already decided."

Song Yan said, "But... Xiaoxiao wouldn’t talk like this, nor would she have the courage to venture to Cyan Phoenix Valley."

...

The air suddenly became extremely quiet, as if the flowing wind had frozen.

Ling Xiaoxiao looked surprised and said, "Senior Brother, what are you talking about?"

Song Yan took a deep breath, tilted his head, and said, "In a place like this, where the Lingtuo Tribe can live and work in peace for thousands of years without moving, it can only mean one thing, and that is that this tribe is being cared for by a strong individual."

"A thousand years ago, the Lingtuo Tribe wasn’t called Lingtuo; it was called the Sword-Eye Tribe. It’s very likely that the primordial ancestor of this tribe was someone named Ling Handeng.

Handeng was born with blind eyes but used swords as his eyes, matching the name ’Sword-Eye,’ making him the primordial ancestor of the Lingtuo Tribe.

From what I know, any human race’s primordial ancestor usually has their own ancient race, and the tribe possesses the innate secret technique power of that ancestor’s inheritance. Yet, the Lingtuo Tribe does not have such power.

This can only mean one thing... Ling Handeng once founded an ancient race, but by the time the Lingtuo Tribe was established, he was exhausted, having only nurtured one cultivator seed over a millennium.

But why did this primordial ancestor Ling create the Lingtuo Tribe? It couldn’t possibly be... just to pass on the lineage, right?"

Ling Xiaoxiao was silent for a while, then her demeanor completely changed. She stepped forward, saying softly, "Even though I know you’re testing me, I’m still willing to stand out because... this opportunity is fleeting."

After saying that, she looked at Song Yan and said, "I’ve always been in slumber within this lineage. Whoever can cultivate, I can sense them, but sensing is just one thing, choosing is another that cannot be easily changed.

My opportunities are few, and this is almost the only one in a thousand years, because my divine soul is severely damaged... so damaged that for many years I’ve only nurtured one cultivator seed. The reason I chose Ling Xiaoxiao is because of you."
