Chapter 704: Unbearable Past 3

"So you and Old Master Ling have such a past; I’ve never heard him mention it before," Leng Xuan sighed quietly to himself. Fate plays strange tricks; it turned out that Old Master Ling was also a man of deep affection. Through Liu Yuntian’s story, he understood that to extend Tang Wan’s life, Old Master Ling must have used his status as a Cultivator to search for Spiritual Medicine, undoubtedly at great cost.

With that thought, Leng Xuan immediately asked, "Grandfather Liu, when you were in the hall earlier, you mentioned knowing a bit about my identity. Could you elaborate?"

Liu Yuntian set aside his sorrow and calmed his emotions, smiling as he said, "Actually, once one’s status and position reach a certain level, one’s social circle expands accordingly, and the people one meets are naturally not simple. If I’m not mistaken, you should be a Cultivator, right?"

Leng Xuan didn’t hide it and nodded, his thoughts stirring suddenly as he spoke, "Since Grandfather Liu knows about Cultivators, you must have encountered such people before."

"You catch on fast," Liu Yuntian laughed heartily. "You’re right, I do know a Cultivator, and we have a pretty good relationship. Over the years, it’s thanks to some of his guidance that I’ve maintained the health and vigor of a young man, unlike other old men who get out of breath after a few extra steps." After finishing, he shifted the topic, "Leng Xuan, something has always puzzled me, and if I’m not mistaken, Ling Tian should also be a Cultivator. Back then, Tang Wan told me that Ling Tian had an ethereal quality, not quite like someone from the mundane world. Unfortunately, at that time, I was short-sighted and didn’t know that Cultivators as in the legends really existed. Thinking back, he does share a certain resemblance with a Cultivator’s demeanor."

Leng Xuan sighed, "Grandfather Liu, you’re indeed great." Although he didn’t answer directly, his response was an indirect confirmation of the guess.

Liu Yuntian was taken aback, "In that case, I have misunderstood him."

Leng Xuan’s expression shifted slightly, "What do you mean by that?"

Liu Yuntian said with a heavy sigh, "After Tang Wan fell ill, I exhausted myself looking for doctors for her, but Ling Tian disappeared without a trace. I’ve always held a grudge about that. In such circumstances, he actually vanished, not to mention doing something; even simply staying by Tang Wan’s side to accompany and take care of her would have been enough. Although he later reappeared and brought back strange herbs, I still couldn’t forgive him, and he didn’t offer half an explanation, which is why I didn’t take the initiative to contact him later. Only now do I understand that Ling Tian suffered more hardships for Tang Wan than I ever did."

Leng Xuan advised, "If there’s a chance in the future, the two of you can sit down and talk. I believe that, at your age, there’s nothing that can’t be discussed."

"You’re right," Liu Yuntian nodded in deep agreement. "At our age, after so many ups and downs in life, everything is trivial." He paused before abruptly changing the subject, "Leng Xuan, you’re young; don’t end up like us old men with no pursuits. You must seize any opportunities, like in matters of love, for example."

Leng Xuan was startled and said, "Grandfather Liu, it seems like you’re hinting at something."

"You rascal, do I have to spell it out for you?" Liu Yuntian chided with a laugh. "Ling Xuejiu is quite an exceptional girl, with both looks and temperament of the highest caliber. Don’t let her slip by too easily. If you manage to win her over, I will be very happy, and I promise to throw you a lavish wedding. While I can’t guarantee it will be unsurpassed in history, it will certainly be unprecedented."
