Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

"came back?"

Leng Youran was still recalling the dazed look on Li Tianze's face when she hugged him just now. As soon as she stepped into the yard, she heard the voice of Old Man Leng behind her.

Leng Youran turned around and asked, "Grandfather, why haven't you rested yet?"

Old Master Leng pointed to the pavilion in her yard and said, "Sit down and talk!"

After the two sat down, Mr. Leng said, "Is the Lijia boy feeling better?"

"Well, much better. He just felt a little sad when he thought of his grandfather. He even said that his grandfather's bones..."

Old Master Leng nodded slightly, expressing his understanding. "Tell that kid that his grandfather's remains are in good hands, so he can rest assured. He can go back and bring them back anytime he wants."

Leng Youran frowned slightly, "Is there anyone?"

"Yeah." Old Master Leng answered straightforwardly.

Leng Youran's mind flashed with inspiration, and a figure appeared before her. "Is it Taoist Lingyin?"

In her opinion, in a place like the palace, it seemed that only Lingyin could collect the body of Grandpa Li without anyone knowing.

"Yes." Old Master Leng still answered straightforwardly.

Leng Youran fell silent. The things she heard tonight made her feel that what Mr. Leng told her was just a drizzle. Mr. Leng must have something very important that he didn't tell her.

"Grandfather, can you tell me why Lingyin is so powerful but..."

Before she could even ask, Old Man Leng raised his hand to interrupt her, "I know you want to ask why Lingyin didn't save Old Man Li, right?"

Leng Youran nodded slightly.

"Hey, why wouldn't Lingyin want to save him! In fact, if Lingyin hadn't been there, the old man might not have been able to hold on for that long."

Leng Youran was even more confused, "Why do you say that?"

Old Master Leng let out a long sigh, "Ran'er, do you know? Lingyin didn't look like what you see now. He looked even younger than he does now."

"It was because of sending you away that year that he spent a lot of energy, and he suddenly went from looking only in his twenties to looking like he was in his thirties."

Leng Youran was stunned.

What is this operation?

If I remember correctly, Lingyin once said that he was over 60 years old.

Why does Lingyin remain eternally young?

Immortal?

Is there really such a profound magic in the world?

She seemed to have thought of something and said uncertainly, "Then he doesn't look like he's in his thirties now, is it because he..."

"Yes, he expended his energy to extend Old Man Li's life by four years, so he is now in his forties or fifties."

At this point, Old Master Leng let out a long sigh before continuing, "Well, after Old Man Li was poisoned that day, I took him to Lingyin. After examining him, the Taoist priest at Lingyin said he wouldn't live more than a year."

"Because when sending you away that year, the Taoist priest expended too much energy and damaged his foundation. Before the injury healed, he extended the life of old man Li, causing him to age faster. That's why he suddenly became what you see now."

Leng Youran was a little confused after hearing this. "Grandfather, according to what you said, Taoist Lingyin is so powerful, he didn't predict that Grandpa Li would have that disaster. Why didn't he tell you so that you could avoid it?"

They clearly have someone as powerful as Lingyin around them, so why are they repeatedly schemed against by that Qin Zhaohai?

No matter what you think, something is wrong.

Old Master Leng clenched his fists and his body became tense.

"No matter how powerful he is, he can't change many things that are destined. What's more, sending you to another world is already defying fate. Lingyin has already suffered a lot of consequences." After saying this, Grandpa Leng looked at Leng Youran.

He didn't know if Leng Youran would understand what he said.

After hearing what he said, Leng Youran fell silent and lowered her head in thought.

Yes, Lingyin sent her soul to another world and suffered such a backlash. If she really changed someone's fate...

Wait, that's not right.

One soul...

If she was just a soul in another world, why could she appear at the door of the orphanage so accurately, and why did she appear to be a normal child?

She was so sad when she heard Mr. Leng explain the reason for sending her away that she forgot for a moment about this completely unreasonable point.

Could it be...

"Grandfather, I am a normal person with flesh and blood in another world, is it also because of Lingyin?" Thinking of this, Leng Youran just felt that her attitude when facing Lingyin last time was not very good.

Even though she left because of their plan, the reality was that Lingyin suffered backlash because of her.

Old Master Leng lowered his head, his shoulders relaxed, and he exhaled another breath of foul air.

"Yes, it's him."

"Master Lingyin actually has another identity that others don't know."

Leng Youran's eyes lit up. She knew that Lingyin cared so much about their family's affairs that he was willing to sacrifice his own cultivation to send her away. There must be a reason behind this.

Seeing her like this, Old Master Leng didn't hide it anymore and continued, "The Taoist priest was originally a priest worshipped by my Leng family in the secluded world. When he appeared, he was about twenty years old. He appeared out of thin air, even you..." He pointed to the wooden sign hanging around Leng Youran's neck.

Leng Youran stroked the wooden sign with his fingertips and asked uncertainly, "Is Jie Zi's space also his?"

Old Master Leng nodded and said, "Yes, this mustard seed space was also given to our Leng family by him."

Leng Youran became even more confused after hearing this. Wasn't it said that this was passed down from generation to generation in the Leng family?

How did it become something that Lingyin gave them?

Old Master Leng seemed to see the doubt in her heart. "You want to ask, this is clearly something that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Leng family, so how could it be a gift from Lingyin?"

Leng Youran nodded frantically.

It's really weird.

Why is it becoming more and more mysterious?

"Because Lingyin has existed for so long, so long that I don't even know when it first appeared."

Click...

A burst of thunder flashed over Leng Youran's head.

It really shocked her "diplomatic theory."

"I remember when I was still a child and was taken to see him by your great-grandfather, I saw Lingyin, who looked to be in his twenties, with an immortal appearance and bearing, as if he were an immortal who had not yet entered the mortal world."

"He has lived in a cave in the mountain behind our Leng family for many years. Apart from the successive heads of the family, almost no one has ever seen him. I went to see him because my grandfather wanted me to see if I could open the mustard seed space in your hand."

"Obviously not."

"After I grew up, one day, Lingyin suddenly sent me news that our Leng family was about to face a catastrophe, and there was no way to avoid it."

"Your great-grandfather can only ask him to save my life."

"You know what happened next."

Leng Youran asked in confusion, "He's so powerful, why did he save you and not the Leng family? And he doesn't like to show up in public, so why did he suddenly show up?"
