This Is What You Said, Little Lin

"Little Linlin, don't go... don't leave your master behind..."

"Daddy, did Niannian make Daddy angry? Daddy, don't abandon Niannian..."

"Little Linlin..."

"Daddy..."

At the Twin Pearl Peak Summit of the Sun Moon Sect, the voices of Master and Little Niannian echoed. Little Niannian hugged her father's face, her chubby tail tightly wrapped around his head, while Master clung to Jiang Lin like a koala.

For a time, Jiang Lin was unable to move an inch...

Jiang Lin had already guessed this would be the outcome, so Jiang Lin planned to sneak away in the morning. But who would have thought that as soon as he got out of bed today, his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.

After coughing up a pill of the Nine Flavor Rehmannia Pills that the system had rewarded him with, and spending a quarter of an hour quickly replenishing his energy, Jiang Lin had just stepped out the door when he saw his master and Little Niannian bringing him breakfast.

Immediately afterwards, the master discovered the Farewell Letter Jiang Lin had placed on the table in the room...

Then... there was a chorus of weeping...

"Mmm~~mmm~~mmmmmmm~~~~ Niannian... let go first... Niannian..."

Jiang Lin, whose face was being tightly hugged by Little Niannian, felt like he couldn't breathe.

"Daddy, are you alright... Daddy..."

Feeling that her father's breathing seemed rapid, Little Niannian said with tears in her eyes, and her grip on him loosened a little.

"It's nothing, it's nothing..."

Jiang Lin placed his hands under Little Niannian's armpits and, with a "thud," pulled Little Niannian off her face like pulling out a plug...

But his master was still hanging on his back like a koala.

"Master, if you don't come down soon, I'm not going to talk to you anymore!"

"I..."

Jiang Yuni pouted sadly, reluctantly getting off Jiang Lin's back...

"Well..."

Jiang Lin sighed, feeling a slight headache. He placed Little Niannian on the table and gently patted Niannian head.

"Niannian n't worry, Niannian, Daddy's just going on a mission. He'll be fine. It's not that Daddy doesn't want to Niannian. As soon as Daddy finishes his mission, he'll be back soon. Daddy will bring Niannian something delicious when he comes back."

"But..." Little Niannian blinked at Jiang Lin, her little tail drooping listlessly on the table.

"Um?"

"But Little Niannian wants to be with her dad..."

"No, that won't do, it would be dangerous."

"That dad just lied to Niannian saying everything was fine, and he really was lying to Niannian... Wow..."

In an instant, Dragon Tears streamed down Xiao Little Niannian's face, clattering onto the table and rolling all over the floor...

"..."

Who taught Little Niannian this trick?! She's learned a trick now? Could it be Sister Fang Ruo again?!

"No, Niannian, listen to what Daddy said." Jiang Lin wiped Niannian's eyes and gently pinched her little nose. "Daddy will definitely not be in danger, but Daddy is worried about Niannian. What if Daddy doesn't have time to look after Niannian while he's working, Niannian encounters some strange uncle? These days, there are still quite a few people who make a living by practicing masculinity..."

Little Niannian lowered her head and sniffled, "Daddy... what are you practicing... what's bronze?"

"Yes, it is dangerous, but it's okay for Daddy."

Why?

"Because Daddy sells swords... no... because Daddy practices swordsmanship, he's Sword Cultivator."

"Little Niannian wants to become Sword Cultivator too! Little Niannian wants to stay with Daddy forever."

"That's great." Jiang Lin had a sudden thought, "If Little Niannian becomes Sword Cultivator in the future, she can protect Daddy."

"Mmm, Little Niannian will protect Daddy." Little Niannian clenched her little pink fist and shook it up and down. Her determined little appearance made Jiang Lin wipe his nosebleed. A'wei should go die first.

"But although Daddy really wants to teach Niannian, Daddy has some things to do. Otherwise, Daddy won't have money to buy Niannian Sugar-coated Haws. Niannian doesn't cultivate, how will she protect Daddy...?"

"Niannian... Niannian..."

Little Niannian lowered her head, her brows furrowed slightly, and her little hands clutched the hem of her skirt.

"So, Niannian will learn swordsmanship and read books at home. When she becomes a great cultivator, she can protect her dad. Dad's master, Sister Yuni, is very powerful. Sister Yuni will teach Little Niannian swordsmanship."

Jiang Lin smiled and took out a Small Wooden Sword from his Storage Bag. He remembered that Jiang Lin had carved this Small Wooden Sword when he was waiting for the Women's Bathhouse to open at the Dragon Gate Sect.

"From now on Niannian must take good care of Daddy."

"Yes, yes, Niannian will learn swordsmanship well with Sister Yuni, Niannian will protect Daddy." Holding the Small Wooden Sword, with tears still glistening in her eyes, Little Niannian nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Mmm, Niannian is such a good girl."

Jiang Lin smiled and patted Little Niannian's head, overjoyed.

Holy crap! I'm a genius! This not only got Little Niannian Little Niannian stay home, but also inexplicably instilled in her a little belief that she should "protect her daddy."

If Little Niannian really remembers in the future that he is her father's killer, should he kill her or not? This will definitely become a dilemma for Little Niannian.

Then I can put on another show, commit suicide to atone for my sins, and then use the Resurrection Coin to run away—it's perfect!

However, if possible, Jiang Lin still hoped that day would never come, after all, things were much better as they were now...

"Master, look, Little Niannian is so sensible now, do you still want to cry and fuss? Little Niannian has already called you 'Mommy'."

Standing up, Jiang Lin looked at his master, who was still bowing his head and tugging at his clothes, and skillfully patted his master's head.

"I... I..."

Jiang Yuni looked up at Jiang Lin with teary eyes, then looked at Little Niannian with a slightly flushed face.

[Hmph! Little Linlin is too cunning. She actually used Little Niannian to trap me. Before, I could secretly follow Little Linlin out on missions, but now that Little Niannian is here, what am I going to do...]

"Alright, Master, I'll be back safely. Master, please teach Little Niannian swordsmanship well!"

"Master... Master knows..." Jiang Yuni said You You.

It's not that she dislikes Little Niannian; on the contrary, Little Niannian is adorable and sensible, and even calls her "Mommy." She dotes on her so much, how could she not like her? This is her and Little Linlin's first child.

I just want to be with Little Linlin, even though Little Linlin doesn't need to go out...

"Alright, when I get back this time, I'll promise Master one thing."

"Really?" Jiang Yuni looked up, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at Jiang Lin. "Anything?"

Seeing his master's happy expression, Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Of course it's true, anything is fine."

Anyway, my master is kind of silly and cute, so he wouldn't make any strange or excessive requests. It'll probably just be something like Ice Cream Cake.

Meanwhile, the woman whose head Jiang Lin was patting was overjoyed.

Hehehe... Any request is fine... Little Lin, you said it yourself.

[Thanks to "Eis Hongchen Xian" for the 10,000 Qidian Coins reward! I owe you a chapter, it's on my little notebook now! (?◇??)э]
