Volume 1: Peaceful Childhood Chapter 31: Waking Up

  When she returned to her small and elegant dwelling, it was still a while before dawn broke. Yun Qingyan directly turned around and entered the space. Alas, she had originally thought of not entering the space tonight, Yun Qingyan secretly sighed.

  Earlier, judging from the state of the two people, it was clear that they had been running for a long time. The young man was okay, relatively well-protected, except for being extremely exhausted, with only minor scratches on his body, apart from a knife wound later on. However, the middle-aged man was different, with blood flowing out of his wounds soaking through his clothes, and several of them were life-threatening. It's unknown what kind of conviction kept him going, to the point where even she had to admire him.

  She came in at a time when it wasn't long before the two were sent into space, perhaps due to days of exhaustion from running around, or perhaps because they were too heavily injured. The two slept very soundly on the grass in the secluded forest pavilion. The temperature inside the secluded forest pavilion was always around twenty-five degrees, so she didn't worry that they would get sick from sleeping on the grass.

  Yun Qingran first came to the Zang Dan Pavilion and picked a bottle of medicinal dan that could treat external injuries, which could instantly repair external wounds without leaving any scars. Then he picked another bottle of medicinal dan that could treat internal injuries, as his internal injuries were also severe due to cold and frostbite, and only external injury medicine would not be enough to cure him.

  Xing watched as Yun lightly gave the two of them a medicinal pill before following and sitting back down in the rocking chair.

  "Star, can you teach them martial arts in space?" Yun Qingran didn't have time to teach the two. Although it was a question, Yun Qingran was certain that this could be done.

  "Let me teach?" As expected, Xing heard this sentence and instantly became excited, with a hint of excitement in her eyes. Haha, great! She was bored to death in the space, and after Xing Jie recognized her as his master, she couldn't release her soul to see the outside world. Now, she finally has something to do, and she will definitely teach the two well.

  Cloud gazed at the excited star, praying for their future miserable life. Since she had a physical body in space, Star's personality became more and more similar to her appearance, um, a bit bigger than hers, with the appearance of a six-year-old girl, and especially loved to play pranks on people. However, she wouldn't dare to prank Cloud again, because after being pranked by Cloud once before, she was severely retaliated against, and since then, she didn't dare to provoke her again. Nor would she go to prank Fubo and the others, they were either puppets or robots, and had no emotional reaction to her mischief, which made it very uninteresting for her. So, poor Ballball was the only one left, every time following Cloud into space, he would hide in his room and refuse to come out, unless Star was busy with something. Now, there were two more that she could play with, and they didn't fear her pranks, how could she not be happy?

  After all, he was an adult with a deep inner strength. Even if he had been seriously injured, after being treated with Yun Qingran's medicinal dan, he woke up from his cold and bitter sleep in less than half a day.

  Waking up to the cold, he hastily looked for something, until he saw a figure beside him. He approached cautiously and found that it was just someone who had fallen asleep from exhaustion. Relieved, he began to observe his surroundings warily, but the scenery here made him pause. At this moment, outside, summer had passed and early autumn had arrived, with the weather still slightly warm. Yet, here, it was as if spring and autumn coexisted - the air was filled with the bright beauty of spring, while the trees were laden with the rich fruits of autumn.

  He and the boy lay on the grass by the creek, next to which a rabbit was scared away by his movements, but then came back boldly to look at him. The edge of the lawn was lined with various fruit trees, some of which he recognized and others he didn't, with plump fruits hanging from them. Behind the orchard, on the half-hillside, suddenly appeared thick fog, like a sudden barrier.

  The source of the stream is a small waterfall, with water cascading down from the cliff and falling into a deep pool below. The creek water flows out from this pool.

  Across the stream is a white European-style villa, near the deep pool is a dense bamboo forest, and facing the stream is a garden with hundreds of flowers in bloom. The villa is surrounded by water on three sides, and its back is a cliff that points directly to the sky.

  After confirming that there was no danger around, Leng Han examined his own injuries. But what he saw made him jump in fright. If it weren't for the tattered clothes stained with blood on his body, he wouldn't have dared to believe whether the fierce battle a few days ago was just a dream. At this moment, there wasn't a single wound on his body, not even scars, and his whole body was smooth as before. When he circulated his internal energy to check for internal injuries, he found that all internal injuries had completely healed, and even the hidden injuries from his previous practice had disappeared without a trace.

  He could tell he hadn't slept for long, who was so powerful that they could heal his injuries in less than a day without leaving any scars. Was it that little girl? He laughed at himself, how was that possible, she was so young, maybe she had the master of this place treat him instead.

  He suspected that there was an owner here, and looking at the white rabbits' fearless appearance, he couldn't be certain if they were being raised by the owner of this place. Afraid of offending the owner, he could only walk to the edge of the fruit tree, pick a few fruits, eat some himself, leave some for the sleeping youth beside him, then sit cross-legged and adjust his internal energy.

  Yun Qingran was still lying in the rocking chair studying the formation, when Leng Han woke up she didn't appear, she was waiting for that young man to wake up. And because of the dense flowers blocking Yun Qingran who was lying down, Leng Han also didn't discover her here.

  It was a long time before the young man woke up. Because Yun Qingran stopped the rotation of day and night when he came in, Leng Han also didn't know how much time had passed specifically.

  As soon as the two woke up, Yun Qingyan had already discovered them. When they turned around, they only then realized that Yun Qingyan was standing behind them.

  "After washing up in the bamboo forest and changing into clean clothes, come to the garden to find me." Yun Qingran left two sets of clothes behind and directly jumped towards the swing chair in the garden. Without saying a word, Cold Han quietly took the young man across the small stream, arrived at the edge of the bamboo forest, washed up quickly in the creek water, and then came to the garden.

  Arriving at the garden, the silver-haired youth finally got a clear look at Yun Qingran's appearance. The long hair that reached his waist was partially tied up, revealing a delicate and refined small face, which already showed a glimpse of her future stunning beauty. A faint mole on his eyebrow, calm complexion, deep black eyes without any ripples, yet seemed to be able to absorb one's soul. He wore an ancient white silk dress, but he didn't show any surprise, as people from ancient martial families often wear traditional clothes at home.

  At this age, she was just like his beloved younger sister. Perhaps it was the heavens that brought him to her side, allowing him to make up for not being able to see his sister grow up healthy. The young man thought to himself, and unknowingly, a hint of melancholy and a thread of comfort appeared in his eyes.

  Yun Qingran also looked at this boy who was only twelve or thirteen years old. In that instant, his eyes seemed to have softened a lot. With his hair neatly combed and wearing a silver robe, he seemed to have an added air of mystery about him.

  "What's your name?" Yun Qingran asked the young man faintly. Her eyes were not wrong, he was indeed very suitable for this mysterious silver color.

  "My name is Sī Kōng Sù." Sī Kōng Sù replied simply.

  "From now on, your name will be Su Ying, as my shadow to handle things behind my back. As for your past, I won't ask much, I'll give you a chance to grow and you can settle it yourself later."

  "Yes, Su Ying understands." Si Kong Su gathered up all the emotions in his eyes and replied very briefly, immediately changing the name.

  As for his reaction, Yun Qingyan was very satisfied. However, the most important thing to remind him of was: "I don't like betrayal. If you betray me, your fate will definitely be worse than death."

  "The Shadow will never betray its master." The Shadow said seriously, looking into Yun Qingran's eyes.

  "What about you?" Yun Qingran looked at the middle-aged man standing beside Su Ying again.

  "My name is Leng Han." A similarly brief response, indeed a man of his word.

  "After that, you will be his assistant and help him deal with things." As for him, Yun Qingyan didn't say much, just gave a simple order and arranged his work.

  Leng Han was surprised to look at her, just putting the two together like that, not afraid they would betray her. Perhaps, her ability didn't care about their betrayal.
