Chapter 415 - Chapter 415: Chapter 115: Demon Cultivator, Li Tangyu (2/2)
however, li qingqing did not seem to notice, her hand reached out, gently caressing the scar on li tangyu’s face, her voice trembling uncontrollably:
“brother…”
“what on earth happened to you, how did you end up like this?”
li qingqing felt immense heartache, reminiscing her brother who once was a gentle and refined young master of a prominent family.
the dream lover of countless young girls.
but now, he had transformed into the person before her eyes.
one couldn’t help but wonder what kind of ordeal he had gone through to have changed so drastically to his current state.
however.
li tangyu’s gaze was tender as he looked at li qingqing, and with a gentle hand, he wiped away her tears.
“it’s okay now, qingqing…”
“as long as you’re fine, everything is all right.”
upon hearing this, li qingqing couldn’t help herself and directly hugged li tangyu:
“brother…”
at that moment, li qingqing laid on li tangyu’s body and cried heartily.
in that moment, she once again became the carefree little girl loved by her brother.
meanwhile, lin jing watched all this with a smile, silently observing…
…
…
after a while, li qingqing finished venting and, with red eyes, detached from li tangyu.
at that moment, li tangyu gently petted little sparrow, which had just landed on li qingqing’s shoulder, and then turned to look at lin jing:
“even little sparrow recognizes you, we must know each other, so who are you exactly?”
seeing this, lin jing no longer hid his identity.
he dispelled his disguise and then, with a smile, said to both li tangyu and li qingqing:
“brother li…”
“qingqing…”
“it’s been a long time.”
upon seeing lin jing, li tangyu was instantly surprised and then smiled as he said:
“brother lin…”
“i thought it might be zhang yuan, or perhaps some other elder…”
“but i never expected it would be you…”
“your cultivation has far exceeded my expectations.”
differently from li tangyu, li qingqing stared at lin jing in disbelief for a moment, then rushed excitedly to him and hugged him tightly:
“brother lin jing…”
“i thought you were gone.”
“you, sister qingling, and zhang yuan…”
“even elder bai and elder yu, shortly after entering the demon race secret realm, the news came that the howling sky wolf clan had occupied the realm.”
“many people did not make it out.”
“i thought that you all…”
as li qingqing spoke, she couldn’t hold back and started to cry…
“you don’t understand, when brother left…”
“all of you disappeared too, leaving me all alone; you cannot imagine how painful that felt…”
“knowing now that you all are safe, it truly is wonderful…”
after a moment.
li qingqing released lin jing, tears lingering at her eyes but soon breaking into a smile:
“brother lin jing, you are still just like before, unchanged.”
lin jing smiled softly, gently rubbing li qingqing’s head, then said:
“i haven’t changed, qingqing, but you’ve grown up a lot…”
li qingqing nodded, then wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, and said:
“since you all left, it’s been many years, everything has changed…”
“even nanshan immortal city is no more; it’s become the territory of the howling sky wolf clan.”
“and almost the entire nanming domain has fallen, and we, the people, had no choice but to flee into the demonic monster sea.”
at that moment.
li tangyu suddenly spoke, asking li qingqing:
“qingqing, has the nanming domain completely fallen?”
li qingqing shook her head, saying:
“not completely, but it’s nearly so.”
“after the howling sky wolf clan invaded the nanming domain, they captured most of the region.”
“most of the cultivators from the nanming domain followed the three major sects to move to the remaining areas, led by these sects, resisting the howling sky wolf clan.”
“others, like us, were forced to wander into this demonic monster sea.”
li tangyu furrowed his brows, nodded, and then asked lin jing:
“i heard some of this about the nanming domain earlier, brother lin, were you also inside the demon race secret realm at the time?”
lin jing nodded, saying:
“yes…”
then, li qingqing also spoke up, adding:
“brother lin jing, since you are fine, what about sister qingling?”
“and zhang yuan, elder bai, elder yu, and even the zhang family patriarch and wu cai immortal were together at that accident and disappeared…”
“where are they? where did they go?”
faced with li qingqing’s question, lin jing was unsure how to respond, so he simply said:
“that matter, it’s rather complicated.”
“once we’re safe, i’ll explain it all to you.”
“and i also want to know about your situations.”
“especially brother li, why you have changed to what you are now.”
li tangyu also nodded, saying:
“indeed…”
“we still have to face the pursuit of the black shark gang leader, we really need to find a place to hide and get through this tough time…”
