#93 - Why send others, innate ninth level
Holding Ye Renxin, Ye Lingling raised her head.
Her tender face was filled with confusion.
"Grandpa, Lingling is about to awaken her martial soul, why does Mom seem unhappy?"
Ye Renxin smiled, squatted down, and comforted:
"How could that be? Once you awaken your martial soul, she will love you even more."
"Really?!"
Ye Lingling was overjoyed, raising her sky-blue, ethereal eyes.
"Then can Lingling eat lots of candy!"
"Haha... Yes, yes."
Ye Renxin smiled, squatted down, and picked up his granddaughter.
He went to his usual reclining chair and sat down, leaning back with Ye Lingling in his arms.
Ye Lingling frowned and scratched Ye Renxin's waist.
She asked suspiciously:
"Grandpa, you promised Lingling a jade pendant, where did it go?"
Ye Renxin smiled and explained gently:
"Grandpa found someone for Lingling who can be with you for a lifetime, the jade pendant is with him."
"Given it to someone else?"
Ye Lingling was stunned, her delicate little face bitter.
She asked puzzledly: "Why give it to someone else?! Grandpa promised Lingling."
"Because he can protect you."
Ye Renxin explained patiently.
"Protect me?"
Ye Lingling blinked her clear, beautiful eyes, amazed.
"Does he have more soul rings than Grandpa?"
"Haha... Not now, of course."
Ye Renxin shook his head, chuckling helplessly, Ye Lingling's face full of confusion.
"Then why give it to him?"
"Because he will surpass Grandpa in the future."
Ye Renxin raised his hand and gently stroked Ye Lingling's face.
He smiled and instructed:
"If Lingling doesn't like him in the future, just ask for the jade pendant back."
"Okay."
Ye Lingling nodded sweetly, but a hint of timidity appeared in her eyes.
"But what if Lingling can't beat him?"
"Haha... He won't hit you, Grandpa has already told him."
Ye Renxin guaranteed with a smile.
He still trusted the promise of the Grand Priest of the Spirit Hall.
"Then who exactly did Grandpa give the jade pendant to?"
Before Ye Lingling could finish speaking.
A gentle, tearful, and slightly hoarse voice came from outside the door.
"Dad, Lingling, breakfast is ready."
At the door, Ye Qinshui's eyes were red, and her face was stained with many water droplets.
Some strands of hair hung down, wet.
She slowly walked into the room and placed a few simple dishes.
Ye Renxin frowned.
Ye Lingling hurriedly jumped to the ground and tugged at Ye Qinshui's skirt.
"Mom, why are you crying?"
"Lingling, Mom isn't crying, there's just too much smoke in the kitchen..."
Ye Qinshui sniffled and quickly shook her head.
"Smoke? Then Lingling will help Mom blow it away, okay?"
Ye Lingling tugged happily.
"Okay."
Ye Qinshui nodded slightly, squatted down, and looked at her smiling daughter.
"Hoo~ Hoo~"
Ye Lingling pursed her pink lips and gently breathed out hot air.
Ye Qinshui looked at her... tears seemed about to burst, she couldn't help but blink.
Clear tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Mom~"
Ye Lingling was stunned.
Seeing this, Ye Renxin frowned deeply, his throat aching and dry, he said:
"Qinshui, is it that hard to have a good meal with Dad?"
"Wuu... Dad~ I know!"
Ye Qinshui couldn't hold back her sobs, quickly got up, covered her face, and ran out.
"Lingling, Mom will go wash her face."
"..."
Ye Lingling raised her hand, looking at the crystal tears on it, and turned her head back in confusion.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with Mom?"
Ye Renxin quickly blinked his reddened eyes.
He explained with a dry smile:
"Ha, it's nothing, maybe cooking hurt her eyes too much."
He didn't say much about it.
Ye Renxin pulled Ye Lingling to the table and sat down.
"Okay, let's sit down first."
"Okay."
Ye Lingling nodded and sat down at the table, looking at the dishes on the table, she exclaimed in surprise:
"Grandpa, today's dishes are all your favorites."
"Yes... they are all Grandpa's favorites."
Ye Renxin's voice became hoarse, sitting at the table quietly waiting.
Ye Qinshui also knew.
Ye Renxin wanted to have a good, final meal together as a family.
She hurriedly returned to the room, wiped her face dry.
She picked up the powder on the dressing table, covering up the traces of crying.
In a strange atmosphere.
Ye Renxin wiped his mouth contentedly, as if relieved of a burden.
Ye Qinshui lowered her head and packed things.
In this strange atmosphere, the smile on Ye Lingling's face lessened.
Sitting in Ye Renxin's arms.
She asked softly: "Who exactly did Grandpa give the jade pendant to?"
"Lingling, don't worry, go awaken your martial soul first."
Ye Renxin had already told Ye Qinshui about the matter, but he didn't want to tell Ye Lingling too early.
Ye Lingling asked suspiciously:
"Isn't Grandpa going with me? It's very close..."
Ye Renxin shook his head with a smile.
"No need, Grandpa is sleepy, I want to go back and take a nap."
"Lingling, come here, Mom will take you to awaken your martial soul."
Standing outside the door.
As soon as Ye Qinshui finished speaking, she became somewhat choked with sobs.
"Coming, Mom."
Ye Lingling ran out happily, taking Ye Qinshui's hand.
Ye Qinshui didn't turn back.
She pulled Ye Lingling forward.
She was afraid that if she turned her head, she would reveal her tear-streaked face.
Her footsteps were heavy.
She wasn't holding Ye Lingling, but escorting Ye Renxin to the execution ground!
Ye Lingling was still hopping and skipping, in a state of anticipation.
Ye Renxin watched the backs of the mother and daughter, slowly closing the door.
He quietly lay on the reclining chair.
Two lines of turbid tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, along with the passing of vitality in his body.
...
Just half an hour later.
Ye Lingling stormed into the room in a flurry.
"Grandpa, Grandpa!"
"Lingling has awakened her martial soul, it's the same Nine Hearted Hibiscus as Mom and Grandpa!"
The sunlight outside the house stretched Ye Lingling's small figure.
The whole room was quiet.
"Grandpa, Grandpa?"
Ye Lingling called out softly, slowly coming to the reclining chair.
She gently poked Ye Renxin's slightly stiff face.
"Grandpa, are you asleep? Lingling is back from awakening her martial soul."
"You should tell Lingling who you gave the jade pendant to~"
...
Several days later.
Ye Lingling's small body knelt in front of the heavy coffin in the mourning hall.
Her eyes were full of confusion.
Somewhat dazed.
Listening to the sobbing sounds in her ears.
Ye Lingling's beautiful blue eyes were covered with bloodshot.
She murmured again:
"Mom, Grandpa has been sleeping for so long, why doesn't he get up and play with Lingling?"
"Lingling... Grandpa hasn't woken up yet."
Ye Qinshui choked, gently putting a piece of soft candy into Ye Lingling's mouth.
"Hasn't woken up yet..."
Ye Lingling murmured, her delicate face slowly collapsing.
In the past few days.
No matter how she called.
She could no longer hear that kind voice and hearty laughter.
She pursed the candy in her mouth.
Her face was covered with uncontrollable scattered tears.
"It's not delicious... it's not sweet at all!"
Ye Lingling raised her hand and threw the candy in her hand and mouth aside.
...
Not knowing when.
A transparent bead the size of a longan fruit.
Disappeared above the Ye family, as if crossing space... flying towards Spirit Hall City.
Pope's Palace.
A Cardinal in red hurriedly broke into the hall.
"Your Majesty, reporting that in the Martial Soul Awakening Hall... there is a pair of twin siblings with innate level nine soul power."
Wishing everyone a happy life!
