Chapter 1428 The Reason
"My home is indeed in Kunlun Realm."
Ling Qianfan admitted it, stopped joking for a moment, and his expression became a little complicated.
Xiao Yi frowned slightly. As expected, Ling Qianfan had never said a word to him and Huangfu Cheng about these things before.
But both of them knew that something unpleasant must have happened between Ling Qianfan and his family.
"I know that you two are very concerned about what happened to me before, but I can't explain it in just a few words."
Ling Qianfan spoke again and took a sip of wine.
"I have always wanted to know what you went through before becoming the Red Sky King. Now I am going to Kunlun Realm. If possible, I also hope to do something for you, Sister Ling."
Xiao Yi said seriously.
"You guy, just take care of yourself, you don't have to do anything for me."
Ling Qianfan shook his head, but he felt very happy.
"Sister Ling, do you think I'm not strong enough right now?"
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows.
"That's the truth."
Ling Qianfan nodded.
"Everything depends on human effort. How does that saying go? Yes, don't despise the poor youngsters. That's the meaning. So what about the Kunlun Realm? It's impossible for me to be inferior to the top masters there forever."
Xiao Yi smiled.
Hearing this, Ling Qianfan's heart moved. She looked at Xiao Yi and believed that he could do it.
"I thought I had enough opportunities in the North to quickly narrow the gap in strength between you and me. I even imagined that one day I would surpass you and then... give you a good beating! But it seems... that's just a thought."
"Why bother? Sister Ling wants to hit me, but I won't even move a finger. Just hit me."
Xiao Yi grinned, he knew too well that Ling Qianfan was competitive and aggressive.
"That's different."
Ling Qianfan said.
"Sister Ling."
Ji Yue suddenly spoke as well.
Ling Qianfan was stunned and looked at Ji Yue.
"Actually... I sometimes have the same thought and really want to beat him up."
Ji Yue said seriously.
"Hahaha……"
Ling Qianfan laughed out loud.
Xiao Yi: "..."
“If one day, my nine fiancées unite to beat me up, and with the blessing of the nine great artifacts, even if I am a Daluo Jinxian, I will probably be beaten to death.”
Xiao Yi muttered to himself and couldn't help but shudder.
"Can you two stop being so united in facing the outside world?"
Xiao Yi looked at Ling Qianfan and the other man with smug looks on their faces, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How come these two people were wearing the same pair of pants?
"I don't want to tell you because I want to forget what happened in Kunlun Realm. My story... hehe, it's really old-fashioned."
Ling Qianfan suppressed his smile as he spoke.
"I left home in my twenties and came out to escape marriage and all the arrangements at home."
"Escape from marriage?"
Xiao Yi's eyes flashed and he exchanged glances with Ji Yue, both of them were a little surprised.
"I know it's selfish of me to do this, but I wouldn't risk my life on this!"
Ling Qianfan said calmly, his expression becoming more serious as he recalled the past.
Xiao Yi nodded in his heart. He knew Ling Qianfan's personality and knew he would not allow himself to be manipulated by his family.
"Then...what happened next?"
Xiao Yi asked.
"Later, my family tried to send people out to persuade me, or even threatened me, but I... never compromised."
Ling Qianfan continued.
"My selfishness brought shame to the Ling family. My father was furious and severed ties with me. He would never allow me to set foot in the Ling family again."
"This……"
Xiao Yi frowned, he was well aware of the great significance the marriage contract might bring to the family.
"In the past thirty years, I have not had any contact with my family. Not to mention the Ling family, I have never even returned to Kunlun Realm."
Ling Qianfan said, with a hint of guilt in his tone.
"Not being in touch doesn't mean we don't know each other's situation, right? I believe Sister Ling's family must know about your situation and will definitely be proud of you for becoming the king of China."
Xiao Yi comforted.
"hehe."
Ling Qianfan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"The reason why I work so hard is not only for the safety of China, but also to prove myself.
I hope that one day, I can go back and make up for what I did in the past, because the Ling family did pay a high enough price for me to break off the engagement.
I feel guilty about this, but my father or the Ling family was just as heartless to me, so I... don't miss anything."
Xiao Yi nodded slightly, feeling quite sad. He finally understood Ling Qianfan's previous experience.
"Stop talking about this."
Ling Qianfan adjusted his state and stopped thinking about the past.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi poured a bowl of wine for Ling Qianfan.
When he wanted to pour himself a glass, Ling Qianfan took the jar back in front of him without even looking up.
Xiao Yi: "..."
"Why, now that things have come to this, you still plan to hide the wine?"
Ling Qianfan raised his head and looked towards Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi was stunned. Wow, the words changed so quickly. He had reason to suspect that the purpose of Ling Qianfan's words just now was for the jar of wine he had hidden.
"What wine? What did I hide?"
Xiao Yi pretended to be confused and was almost tricked by Ling Qianfan, who was obviously trying to trick him.
"Oh, just pretend."
Ling Qianfan changed his serious expression and returned to normal.
Ji Yue, who was standing by, held back her laughter and felt relieved.
Afterwards, the three of them continued to eat and drink. Ling Qianfan also took out the old wine that she had collected for many years and drank it with Xiao Yi.
It was very late until Ji Yue returned to her room temporarily, but Xiao Yi and Ling Qianfan were still drinking.
"I, Xiao Yi, rarely have anyone I respect. So far, there are only two people. One is my master, and the other is you, Sister Ling."
Xiao Yi said seriously.
He knew very well how much suffering Ling Qianfan had endured and how much she had endured in her heart as a woman over the years.
"You really have drunk too much. You are becoming cheesy and disgusting. If you are scared, just say it."
Ling Qianfan also felt a little drunk. She hadn't had such a good time or drunk so much alcohol in a long time.
"I admit that Sister Ling can drink a lot, but this isn't the end yet."
Xiao Yi said, the cup in his hand had long been replaced with a bowl.
Whether he was drinking and chatting with Huangfu Cheng, or with Ling Qianfan in front of him, he was extremely relaxed. It was a feeling of drinking with a close friend and never getting enough.
The next two people drank more and talked more.
"Xiao Yi, Kunlun Realm...is different from Ancient Martial Realm. I'm not just talking about the strength of those people. You must be more careful when you go there."
Ling Qianfan warned.
"I understand. I am mentally prepared. I am no longer the young and energetic boy I was a few years ago, haha."
Xiao Yi smiled.
"Don't act like an old shrew. You're making me... no, you're making me look old too."
Ling Qianfan said unhappily.
Xiao Yi smiled in his heart. How come his casual words touched the pain point of this old lady?
"Yes, yes, in my eyes, Sister Ling will always be so young and beautiful."
Xiao Yi flattered.
"...From what I know, you don't seem to have anyone to rely on in Kunlun Realm. If you have any difficulties, go to the Ling family and find a man named Ling Zhengqing. He is my eldest brother."
Ling Qianfan continued.
"He's the only one I have the best relationship with at home. He has loved me since I was a child. Even if he can't completely help you solve your problems, he will still help you find a solution."
"Okay, I've written it down."
Xiao Yi nodded and didn't ask any more questions for a while.
