A gentle breeze touched the earth and lightened the unpleasantness of the scorching sun

Inside his tidy study, Ling Tian Qing was dressed in a pale robe, his expression calm and focused, his face touched by the tempests of life

At this ently but preciselybrush across a clean piece of paper

Happiness

The word danced across the page His calligraphy skills were a true reflection of his confident and just qualities

This as also a true reflection of his feelings at that moment

Since the deaths of the other two Clan Leaders, Ling Tian Qing had been busy strategizing and executing his annexation plans Some had to be punished for their roles in the battle, while others would have to be wooed into submission Extreme measures were needed

None of the decisions he had had tothis period was easy Had it been anyone else, this would be an exhausting and i, this was second nature He was born to lead He did not ascend to the top position only by being the oldest born

“That mysteriousClan was destined for destruction but saved in the dying moments by an unexpected hero Happiness would then descend upon the Clan” Ling Tian Qing could not help but recount the story once more

Someone suddenly knocked on the door

“Co frowned He was not in thethat his visitor was Ling Xian, histo co Xian responded with a ti thehundreds of lives, if you can’t be known as a hero, who can?” Ling Tian Qing stood to welco Xian to sit

Ling Xian accepted the tea and took a sip He feltTian Qian’s tone, that the Leader had enorht be incoht on by pure talent

Ling Xian sighed in silence Looking into the face of a s Xian told his news, “Leader, I am here to bid you farewell”

“Farewell?”

Ling Tian Qing was taken aback by this sudden revelation “You are leaving the City?”

“Correct, just now, an Elder came to visitto leave with hi Xian responded, sipping on his tea

A wave of shock overcaly, he asked, “As in one of the nine Houses of the Yun Province?”

Ling Xian nodded

“Indeed…” Ling Tian Qing sighed loudly, his eyes now filled with envy He continued, “Many years ago, I kneeled at the gate of the Wan Jian House for over half ato become a student there, to no avail I can’t believe, after so many years, one of the Elders has come to seek out one of my students What an honor that is!”

“Just h the City and saw the battle” Ling Xian sreatness” Ling Tian Qing shook his head in disagreeh to attract any of the Houses and Dynasties in the Yun Province Not to mention a pupil, you have the skills and qualities to become a candidate as Leader”

“Leader, you need to stop with the flattery I have very thin skin,” Ling Xian answered slyly That was not entirely truthful A century-old soul could easily withstand any flattery or falsehood

“Ah…” Ling Tian Qing sighed again “When you killed the two foundational-level opponents, I knew your fate and a you locked up here would be a huge loss to the world”

Ling Xian yanked his head back and finished his tea at once Then, he stood up and said, “Thank you, Clan Leader”

“Why thank me? If you wish to leave, I certainly can’t keep you here” Ling Tian Qing waved his hand and continued, “You are a sleeping dragon You need to wake up and travel the world This City is not big enough for your wings”

As he finished, a look of uncertainty flashed across his face, as if he wanted to continue, but decided against it

Ling Xian gave hi had hesitated to say “I assure you, regardless of where I go, I will forever be aXian If the Clan needs me, I will be back in a flash”

His words struck a nerve This had indeed been Ling Tian Qing’s concern Delighted, Ling Tian Qing laughed out loud and gave Ling Xian his blessings, “Good, good, that’s exactly what I have hoped to hear The Ling Clan will flourish as long as you are with us”

Of course, Ling Tian Qing had wanted Ling Xian to stay behind With hi Xian was destined for greater things and he knew that

“I believe the Clan will flourish under your wise leadershi+p, with or withoutone last time, he said, “I bid you farewell”

As his voice fell, Ling Xian turned around to leave

“Wait,” Ling Tian Qing called out Then, with a heavy sigh, reet

“Before you leave, re Xian stood still for aback

Watching his figure disappear into the light, Ling Tian Qing couldn’t help but recount everything Ling Tian Xiang had done for this young man
