Collapse of Iron: The Immortal Boat Life of the Envoy of the Order of Fertility

Seeing Rangqing shaking his head, Yunli couldn't help feeling disappointed.

Huai Yan's expression remained normal, but Lu Qing knew that if he was not too old and did not care about his reputation, and if he really wanted to adopt Yun Li and preserve Han Guang's bloodline, he would not have done so.

Otherwise, after being humiliated by Yun Li like this, he would probably just turn around and leave.

It seems that Yunli's personality needs to be improved in the future...

There was certainly a reason why Rangqing didn't adopt Yunli.

First, he really finds it troublesome to take care of children.

Second, Huaiyan can teach Yunli the forging techniques and swordsmanship that he doesn't know.

Third, if he adopted Yunli... it would be unethical in the future.

(The most important point.)

"Don't worry, I will accompany you as you grow up. I will live in Zhu Ming from now on. You can see me anytime you want."

"Besides, my brother is also a child. He is not even forty years old this year and has no idea how to raise a child. It is better to let Elder Yan adopt you. Don't worry, Elder Yan loves children."

Huaiyan glared at Rangqing.

"And Elder Yan can teach you forging and swordsmanship, so that you can..."

"漧清!"

This made Huai Yan angry again.

He also understood that Huai Yan did not want Yun Li to bear so much. Hunting for the Demon Sword and paying for sins should not be borne by Yun Li.

Children should act like children. If they are crushed by heavy burdens at a young age, what is the use of us old people?

For Huai Yan, all that matters is that Yun Li can grow up happily.

After hearing that Huai Yan could teach her swordsmanship and forging techniques, Yun Li immediately agreed.

She looked at Lu Qing with gratitude and expressed her true thoughts.

"Then I am willing to be Master Yan's granddaughter."

Yunli was willing, but Huaiyan just couldn't be happy.

"Master Yan, some things won't go away just because you don't mention them... I know Yunli's personality. Even if I don't bring it up today, she'll cry and beg you to teach her later."

"Yeah." Yun Li nodded.

"Even so, Yunli is still young."

"Grandpa, I'm not a kid anymore. I'm ten years old this year."

Oh~ I’m ten years old now, and there are still eight years to go.

(The story begins in the year 8100. The Third War of Plenty took place 28 years ago. 14 years have passed since the protagonist traveled through time. In order to avoid a certain mythical beast, Yun Li's age needs to be changed. She must be at least four years older than the ice-type boy.)

(Since the official version of Yunli's age is not disclosed, I will simply assume her age is 10.)

(At the beginning of the story, Yunli is 24 years old and legal.)

"Yes, yes, Yunli is not a child anymore."

"Look, Elder Yan, this girl is very stubborn. She can't change her mind once she makes a decision."

"It's better to teach her skills and make her stronger, so that she will be less in danger."

"If it really doesn't work..." Lu Qing leaned close to Huai Yan's ear and whispered a few words.

Then Huaiyan's frown relaxed and his attitude changed.

"In that case, Grandpa is willing to teach you, Yunli, swordsmanship and forging, but I have one condition."

"What conditions?"

"Yunli, Grandpa knows you want to go out and hunt for the Demon Sword, but your swordsmanship must reach the level of the Eight-Leaf Flame Wheel before you can go out alone.

"No problem." Yun Li was very happy. After all, she still didn't know what level of combat power Flame Wheel Eight Leaves had.

Lu Qing was also very happy. He knew Yun Li's talent. It wouldn't take long for Yun Li to reach that level.

Huai Yan was also very happy. It would take hundreds of years to reach the level of Flame Wheel Eight Leaves.

Yunli, you'd better stay with grandpa on the Zhu Ming Immortal Boat. Don't do those dangerous things until you grow up.

The three of them had their own thoughts and felt that they had achieved their goals.

……

"Now that the matter of adopting Yunli has been resolved... there's also the matter of Hanguang's posthumous work."

Seeing that Yun Li didn't show any abnormality and just wanted to get closer to Lu Qing, Huai Yan continued speaking.

"I have personally repaired this sword and have also tested its performance."

"I have to say, this is truly Han Guang's finest work. Its performance even surpasses the Zhili forged by Ying Xing, and is comparable to the weapons forged by me personally."

"But this sword has biological activity... It's a truly living creature, not a dead object, nor is it endowed with simple intelligence like other swords.

This may have something to do with clearing your field."

Lu Qing took the sword case from Huai Yan's hand.

"There are two swords inside. One was forged by Han Guang, and the other is a heavy sword forged by me. They can both withstand the power of an envoy. Feel free to use them."

"The names of the two swords haven't been chosen yet. You can decide for yourself, Qingqing."

"I understand, Master Yan"

Lu Qing turned to look at Yun Li: "Yun Li, you can hear the sword talking, right? Do you want to listen..."

Before he could finish his words, Yunli grabbed his clothes. She lowered her head so that Yunli could not see her expression clearly. She just spoke in a low voice.

It has been three days since Han Guang's death, but Yun Li has not felt any sadness about Han Guang's death because of the passage of time.

Of course, Yunli did not hate her father. At most, she had some resentment towards him, but more importantly, she wanted to help Han Guang pay for his sins.

The desire to atone for her sins surpassed her deep feelings for her father. All the good moments in her past life were now shrouded in a lingering haze after this incident.

She didn't want to face her father, and she couldn't understand him.

"I'm sorry... Yunli doesn't want to hear it."

She understood Lu Qing's thoughts and knew that the other party was doing it for her own good, but the haze in her heart forced her to reject Lu Qing's kindness.

She was really grateful to this big brother who always thought about her... Although Yunli didn't know why, why Qing would help her so much and be so nice to her for no reason.

But she understood that no matter what she did, she could not disappoint her brother who treated her so well, so she chose to apologize.

Lu Qing gently rubbed Yun Li's little head, trying to make her relax.

It seems that Yunli still doesn't want to face it. Well, after all, she is just a ten-year-old child. People have to go through some things before they can grow up. Lu Qing believes that there will always be such a day.

It’s okay if you come a little late one day.

"fine.

In that case, Yunli, can you take me to visit Zhu Ming? It would be best if you could take me to eat some delicious snacks, okay? "

Big brother is really good to me... Yunli could see that Qing was really cautious and eager to explain that he didn't want to be hurt even a little bit again.

This kind of care is something that even parents cannot give.

What an amazing feeling.

"This is acceptable."

"As long as it's delicious, Yunli will take her brother to eat it."
