Chapter Index

“You have worked hard these years.” Yang Kai sighed slightly, “Where is the person you mentioned?”

He didn’t see any trace of anyone here.

“Here.” Huang Juan pursed her lips and smiled, dragged out a small figure from behind, and crouched down with a gentle expression and said, “Yun’er, come and meet Sect Master Yang!”

Yang Kai lowered his head and looked, couldn’t help showing a look of astonishment: “A child?”

He really didn’t expect that the person Huang Juan mentioned would actually be a child!

Judging from her appearance, she was probably only six or seven years old, less than three feet tall, with a thin figure and a sallow complexion, clearly suffering from some malnutrition. The clothes she wore were also coarse linen, but they were very clean, without dirt or dust. Her hair was also a bit light yellow, and she still had a childish look. However, her pair of eyes were round and extremely bright.

This was not Huang Juan’s offspring because the two had no resemblance in appearance. And as far as Yang Kai knew, Huang Juan had never given birth.

So where did this little girl come from?

The little girl seemed a bit shy and also a bit curious. She hid behind Huang Juan, staring at Yang Kai with wide, black eyes, but didn’t say a word.

Huang Juan persuaded her a few words, asking her to greet Yang Kai, but she remained unmoved, just kept shaking her head and looking at Yang Kai’s face with a hint of vigilance. This gaze made Yang Kai frown, and an inexplicable sourness rose in his heart.

A child of this age should know nothing, but she was actually vigilant towards him, which meant that she might have encountered something that scared her before, so she didn’t dare to get close to any strangers.

“Please forgive me, Sect Master. Yun’er is still young and doesn’t understand etiquette. Please don’t be angry.” Huang Juan stood up and looked at Yang Kai with a bitter smile and said.

“It doesn’t matter.” Yang Kai slowly shook his head and swept his spiritual sense over the little girl. He was surprised and said, “She has actually reached the peak of the Open Heaven Realm. Did you teach her?”

“Yes.” Huang Juan slightly nodded her head. “Yun’er pestered me to learn, so I taught her some.”

“Not bad, not bad.” Yang Kai showed approval on his face. At such a young age, she had already reached the peak of the Open Heaven Realm. This was impossible to achieve in the Central Capital. Moreover, with Huang Juan’s financial resources, I’m afraid she couldn’t provide her with a very good cultivation environment and cultivation resources. In other words, this little girl’s talent was still quite good.

After hesitating for a while, Yang Kai transmitted his voice with his spiritual sense and asked, “What about her parents?”

“They fell three years ago.” Huang Juan replied with a sad expression.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Juan briefly told the story of the little girl.

The little girl’s surname is Lin, and her full name is Lin Yun’er. Her father was originally a person without a sect, and her mother was originally a female disciple from the Sea Palace. The Sea Palace is a big force on the Carefree Sea, and its reputation on the Carefree Sea is equivalent to that of the Thunder Terrace Sect of the Battle Heaven Alliance in the inland.

And Lin Yun’er’s mother seemed to have some status and position in the Sea Palace. Originally, for someone like her, if she wanted to choose a husband, there would be many options. But love is such a thing, coming inexplicably. After meeting Lin Yun’er’s father, her mother fell in love and couldn’t stop. The two were in love with each other and soon privately decided on a lifetime together.

This matter was known by the high-level of the Sea Palace, and in a fit of anger, they expelled Lin Yun’er’s mother from the Sea Palace.

Although they did this, the people of the Sea Palace didn’t make things too difficult for her. They still tacitly allowed her to live in Linhai City. From then on, Lin Yun’er’s parents became a suffering couple. However, with the love between husband and wife, the days were still quite comfortable.

But warriors not only need to live, but also need to cultivate.

Both of their strengths were only at the Saint King Realm, similar to Huang Juan. Without the support of a sect, they could only find a way by themselves, going to sea to hunt sea beasts, and obtaining inner pills, fur, and bones to exchange for cultivation resources.

It was precisely because of this reason that Huang Juan got to know them and formed a team with their husband and wife to act together.

But one time when they went out three years ago, the three of them encountered an eighth-order sea beast. Lin Yun’er’s parents died on the spot, and only Huang Juan managed to escape with her life and returned to Linhai City. From then on, she has raised Lin Yun’er by her side.

At that time, the little Lin Yun’er was only three or four years old and had just started to remember things.

It can be said that most of Lin Yun’er’s memories are of Huang Juan, and the knowledge she has learned was also taught by Huang Juan. Their relationship is like that of a mother and daughter!

The reason why she is vigilant towards strangers is precisely because when her parents were still alive, they had borrowed some Saint Crystals from others. After the news of their fall came, those creditors came to the door wanting to take Lin Yun’er away to pay off the debt. Fortunately, Huang Juan stopped them and paid off the debt for her.

In short, Lin Yun’er’s life experience is very tragic. She lost her father and mother at a young age. If it weren’t for Huang Juan’s care for the past three years, it would be unknown whether she could still be alive today.

And this simple house was also the place where Lin Yun’er’s parents used to live. After they died, Huang Juan stayed here in order to take care of Lin Yun’er conveniently.

“So that’s the case!” After listening to Huang Juan’s narration, Yang Kai gently nodded, a sense of pity welling up in his heart.

And just at this moment, Lin Yun’er, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up and said, “Are you here to take Yun’er away?”

Her voice was clear and extremely pleasant. When asking the question, a pair of clear eyes stared at Yang Kai, like a clear spring, without the slightest impurity.

When Yang Kai heard this, he couldn’t help but smile and said, “That’s right, I’m here to take you away.”

Lin Yun’er didn’t show any sign of fear. Instead, she tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, “Can you come back in a few years?”

“Why?” Yang Kai was very curious about how such a child thought.

“Yun’er will grow up quickly. In a few years, she will be able to go out and hunt sea beasts. At that time, she will give you a lot of Saint Crystals, so many that you won’t be able to spend them all in your lifetime!”

Obviously, she thought Yang Kai had come to ask for debts again.

Yang Kai was stunned and couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Huang Juan, who was listening, also looked embarrassed.

“Good, good, good. You’re a smart little kid with great ambition.” Yang Kai nodded in satisfaction.

“So you can’t take Yun’er away. Yun’er doesn’t want to be separated from Aunt Huang now!” Lin Yun’er said crisply.

As soon as these words were spoken, Huang Juan’s eyes were immediately filled with a layer of mist. Although Lin Yun’er wasn’t her biological child, after getting along for these years, she had already regarded her as her own. Now that she heard such words, how could she not be moved? She couldn’t help but hug the little girl.

“Well, this time I not only want to take Yun’er away, but also your Aunt Huang. What should I do?” Yang Kai pretended to be in a dilemma.

“Oh… so you’re a bad person!” Lin Yun’er suddenly realized. She stretched out her small hand, pointed at Yang Kai, and shouted firmly.

In the eyes of a child, right and wrong are clear. Whoever is to oneself is all a bad person.

Yang Kai smiled but didn’t say anything.

“Sect Master…” Huang Juan looked at him hesitantly.

“Well, no need to say more. Take her along.” Yang Kai smiled slightly. Since the matter was not as he had guessed before, and it was just a matter of taking a child, what did it matter.

“Thank you, Sect Master!” Huang Juan was overjoyed. Although she also felt that Yang Kai would not refuse this request, if Yang Kai really rejected her, then she could only stay and take care of Lin Yun’er all the time.

“Yun’er, don’t you thank the Sect Master for his great kindness.” Huang Juan pulled Lin Yun’er out of her arms and pointed at Yang Kai and said.

“No, he’s a bad person. He wants to take Yun’er away.” Lin Yun’er was quite insistent on her judgment. Not only was she insistent, but she also took two steps forward and swung a small fist at Yang Kai.

The posture looked good, but the stance was unstable.

Yang Kai stretched out a hand with a smile and blocked it in front.

Seeing this scene, Huang Juan also showed a helpless bitter smile. Of course she knew that Yang Kai would not be angry because of the words of a young girl, nor would he hurt her because of this, so she had no intention of intervening and stopping.

Peng… With a sound, the small fist happened to hit Yang Kai’s palm.

Yang Kai’s brows couldn’t help but raise, and his face showed an extremely surprised expression, as if he had discovered something incredible. Then he gently pushed Lin Yun’er back and taunted: “The strength is too weak. Come again.”

“Hmph!” Lin Yun’er was like a newborn calf not afraid of tigers. Her small mouth pouted, and she threw another punch.

A moment later, Lin Yun’er was panting with exhaustion and looking at Yang Kai with a depressed expression. There was no other reason. How could a mere little girl at the peak of the Kaiyuan Realm shake Yang Kai? After waving her fists for a while, she had to accept this helpless reality.

Yang Kai, however, had bright eyes and was looking at Lin Yun’er as if he had discovered a treasure, with excitement all over his face.

“What’s wrong, Sect Master?” Huang Juan looked at Yang Kai with a suspicious expression.

“Have you never fought with her before?” Yang Kai didn’t answer but asked instead.

“No.” Huang Juan slowly shook her head. “I only taught Yun’er how to cultivate and didn’t fight with her.”

“No wonder.” Yang Kai fell into thought.

“Sect Master, is there something wrong with Yun’er?” Huang Juan suddenly became nervous.

“There’s nothing wrong. Don’t worry.” Yang Kai slowly shook his head, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and looked at Lin Yun’er and said, “It’s just that this girl has great strength.”

“Great strength?” Huang Juan was stunned.

“Forget it. We’ll talk about this when we return to the sect. It can’t be explained clearly in a short while, and I don’t know the specific reason either.” Yang Kai didn’t mean to explain. It’s just that when he recalled the power transmitted from the other party’s fist when he was fighting with Lin Yun’er just now, it was indeed a bit unusual.

Although Lin Yun’er already has the cultivation base of the peak of the Kaiyuan Realm, she is too young and doesn’t know how to use Yuan Qi to fight. Therefore, the fists she waves are all her own strength.

And that kind of strength is almost comparable to that of an ordinary who has not practiced!

This is too unbelievable. Where does such a powerful force come from in the thin and weak body of a mere six or seven-year-old girl? Is it a natural talent or something? Although Yang Kai has seen a lot, he can’t judge for a while, so he can only hide the doubt in his heart and prepare to talk about it when he goes back.

“Yes.” Naturally, Huang Juan wouldn’t ask to the bottom and nodded in compliance.

Although Lin Yun’er subconsciously judged Yang Kai as a bad person, after Huang Juan’s explanation, she no longer resisted.

There is nothing to pack up. This home can be described as having nothing but four walls. Soon, Huang Juan took Lin Yun’er’s little hand and followed Yang Kai towards the center of Linhai City.
