“You…you have already achieved Immortal Ascension, we…”
At this moment, Qing Ling finally finished venting, wiped the tears from her face, looked at Ye Lin in front of her, and felt incredibly pained.
The person she had longed for day and night had arrived, but she…she no longer had any chance…
Now she was old and faded, and in a few more decades, she would be buried.
And Ye Lin? Decades had passed, yet his appearance remained the same, and even after a few more decades, centuries, or millennia, he would still look the same.
“It’s alright, aren’t you living quite well now? I came this time to compensate you all.”
Ye Lin gently patted Qing Ling’s back and said softly.
“Compensate…what will you use to compensate?”
Qing Ling looked at Ye Lin, her red eyes fixed on him.
“Qing Ling, why did you take so long to find the child? The food has gotten cold, and we still need to harvest the wheat this afternoon, otherwise, if there’s a downpour tonight, everything will be ruined.”
At this moment, an old farmer with a straw hat and a full beard walked towards them.
“Damn it, who is that? How dare he hug my wife? Let go of her.”
Upon seeing his beloved wife being hugged by a stranger, the old man immediately became enraged, bent down to look around, and finally grabbed a stone and rushed towards them.
But when he reached Ye Lin and saw Ye Lin’s face, the old man suddenly froze, his hand holding the stone stopping in mid-air.
“Ye…Brother Ye.”
The old man’s face was shocked, his pupils dilated, and he stammered.
“Tian Qing, decades have passed, and your courage has grown.”
Ye Lin looked at the old man in front of him and said with a smile.
The old man in front of him was the brother he had grown up with, not by blood, but closer than blood.
His former self used to play with Qing Ling and Tian Qing all day long.
He hadn’t expected Qing Ling to marry Tian Qing, and although it was a bit surprising, Ye Lin was extremely happy.
Such an outcome was undoubtedly the best.
…
“Brother Ye, I really didn’t mean it, Brother Ye…”
In a small farmhouse courtyard, Ye Lin was eating the simple, familiar coarse tea and plain rice, while Tian Qing beside him was full of apprehension, stammering.
He and Ye Lin were like brothers, and Ye Lin and Qing Ling were a couple acknowledged by everyone, but in the end, Qing Ling married him.
Now, upon seeing Ye Lin again, Tian Qing was suddenly at a loss.
This way, he had stolen his own brother’s girlfriend…
“It’s alright, Tian Qing, take good care of Qing Ling, I think highly of you two.”
Ye Lin reached out and patted Tian Qing’s shoulder, comforting him.
Seeing that Ye Lin showed no signs of blame, Tian Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He had followed behind Ye Lin since he was a child; for Ye Lin, it was two words: boss, Ye Lin was his boss.
“Brother Ye…Brother Ye, have you now become a powerful Cultivator?”
Tian Qing looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar Ye Lin and asked tentatively.
Ye Lin smiled and nodded slightly.
Seeing Ye Lin’s affirmation, Tian Qing was greatly shocked, and even though he had been mentally prepared, it still made him unable to help but be surprised.
That was a powerful Cultivator; he hadn’t expected his former brother to become a powerful Cultivator.
“How are my parents doing?”
Ye Lin looked at Tian Qing and asked.
“Mother and Father are very healthy now, but after you were confirmed dead, Mother was so overwhelmed with grief that she lay in bed all day and was never able to get up again.”
