170 The Warning. (2/2)

”Well, it seems like I'll have to make a trip over there myself. I just hope the Monk doesn't hold a grudge and still give me a helping hand.” Whispered Long Meng as he was looking out of the window with a melancholic look on his face.

...............

Two hours have gone by since Long Zheng and his guards had left, and Ling Chen was still sitting in the same position. However he wasn't meditating, his eyes were wide open while he was deep in thought.

As he was deep in thought, he suddenly heard a light footstep sounded from behind him. Followed which a gentle voice filled with concern sounded. ”Father Monk, why are you sitting there every morning by yourself. Aren't you cold?”

Upon hearing that voice, Ling Chen gently smiled as he turned around. Not too far from him was a very beautiful little girl with a pair of large blue eyes and long dark hair.

This little girl was none other than Mei. At this moment, she looked completely different from five days ago. Ever since Ling Chen had taken her in, she became more lively and joyful. Her body didn't look thin and weak anymore, she was much fitter now to the point where she was getting a little fat.

Ling Chen fed her well and never let her go to sleep hungry. Aside from that, Ling Chen brought a lot of nice clothes and gave everything she wanted. As for her mother, she was getting better. Every day, he used his light true qi energy to nourish her body and patched her fractured soul.

Maybe it was because Ling Chen had saved the little girl from her harsh life and gave her everything she could ever dream of as well as taking care of her mother, the adorable little girl had developed a unique relationship with Ling Chen to the extent where he called him Father Monk instead of Sir Monk.

In the little girl's heart, Ling Chen had already taken on an immensely important position. He was like the father she never had.

Without hesitation, Ling Chen got up from his mediative stance and carried the little girl into his embrace as he said with a caring and joking smile on his face.” Little Mei, it seems like you are getting a little fat.”

Upon hearing Ling Chen's words, little Mei's face couldn't help but turn red as she retorted. ” You are the one that's getting fat father Monk, not me.”

”Hahaha! I was just joking with you little Mei, don't be mad.” Quickly answered Ling Chen as he was looking at the angry and bashful face of Little Mei.

”Ok, there's no more provision in the house. It's time to go outside and do some shopping for my little Mei.” He added with a slight smile.

Just like little Mei, In Ling Chen's heart, she had also taken on an immensely important position. She was like one of his children. It's already been three years since he last saw his children, and there was a void in his heart because of that. However, the presence of little Mei was able to somehow fill that void a little.
