"The Ox and the Field?"
She blinked and asked doubtfully.
"Is this some kind of folk fable? It's about the hard work of the farmer uncle?"
"Clever!"
"What this story tells is that only hard-working cattle work tirelessly."
"Only that fertile farmland will produce the most abundant fruits in the coming spring..."
"Of course, this story can not only be listened to, but also practiced..."
The early morning sunlight shines through the exquisite glazed windows of the Moonlight Pavilion and onto the smooth, mirror-like wooden floor, reflecting a warm and soft halo.
After a night of hard work, Luo Nan walked downstairs feeling refreshed.
Luo Nan had just sat down on the mahogany chair in the lobby on the first floor, took a sip of the finest fragrant tea that the maid had just brewed, and heard an announcement outside the door.
"Master Luo Nan, we have a visitor."
Luo Nan raised his eyes slightly, thinking it was Dugu Bo. Then Old Poison went back to pack his things and brought his granddaughter to report.
However, when the door slowly opened, it was not the white-haired, thin Poison Douluo who walked in.
The person at the front is indeed Dugu Yan, who just became a disciple yesterday.
The little girl put on a clean and neat lavender outfit today, looking even more delicate and cute.
But the person holding her hand was an old woman who looked much older than Dugu Bo.
This old woman's hair was covered with silver threads like snow, and her face was covered with deep ravines carved by time.
The body is also a little stooped, and in his hand is a dragon-headed crutch carved from unknown wood.
Although she is old, the old woman exudes a strange aura that is extremely gentle and kind, and seems to be able to tolerate all things.
In the old woman's other hand, she was holding a little girl about the same age as Dugu Yan.
The little girl was wearing a simple and elegant black dress, and her long silver hair was cascading down her head.
Her skin is so fair that it's almost transparent, and her facial features are exquisite.
But in those big eyes, which were like black gems, there was a coldness and loneliness that was extremely inconsistent with her age.
She clutched the hem of the old woman's clothes tightly and hid half of her body behind her, looking a little timid.
The moment he saw this old woman, Luo Nan's hand holding the teacup suddenly stopped, and a trace of extremely rare surprise and surprise flashed through his deep eyes.
He immediately put down his tea cup and hurried forward to greet him, with respect in his tone. "Senior Ye! It's you!"
Luo Nan not only knows this old woman, but also has a deep sense of gratitude towards her.
Her surname is Ye, her single name is Ci, and she is the descendant of the previous generation of Nine-Heart Begonia!
About eight or nine years ago, when Luo Nan had just debuted and started to become famous, at that time, although Luo Nan was extremely talented, his strength had not really grown yet.
At that time, he was young and vigorous, and wanted to obtain a high-quality Spirit Ring.
He went deep into a dangerous Spirit Beast forest alone, and encountered a terrifying Spirit Beast whose cultivation was far beyond his ability to deal with it.
In that battle, Luo Nan tried his best to kill Spirit Beast.
But he was also seriously injured, his internal organs were almost displaced, his meridians were severed, and he lay dying in a pool of blood. Half of his feet had already entered the gate of hell.
Just when Luo Nan thought he was about to die, Ye Ci happened to be passing by the forest and discovered him.
Luo Nan I still can't forget that scene!
A holy crabapple flower with a faint pink halo bloomed in the palm of the old woman's hand.
The petals all over the sky were like a gentle spring rain, falling on his broken body.
In just a moment, his fatal injuries miraculously healed without leaving even a trace of scar.
The grace of saving life is as great as heaven.
Luo Nan will always keep this kindness in mind.
"Haha, Luo Nan boy, after a few years of separation, you are now a world-famous and peerless strong man."
"I'm an old man, so I'd like to thank you for remembering me."
Ye Ci looked at the heroic and unfathomable Luo Nan in front of him, a smile of relief flashed in his cloudy eyes.
"Senior is joking. Without your help back then, Luo Nan would not be where it is today."
Luo Nan respectfully helped Ye Ci to the seat, and then his eyes fell on the little girl with silver hair and black skirt.
"Senior, this is..."
Ye Ci sighed lightly, pulled the little girl in front of him, and stroked her silver hair lovingly:
"This is my granddaughter, named Ye Lingling. She is also the only descendant of Nine-Heart Begonia in our Ye Family generation."
Having said this, Ye Ci raised his head, looked at Luo Nan with burning eyes, and his tone became extremely solemn:
"Luo Nan, I shamelessly came to your door today because I have something to ask for."
"If possible, I would like to keep Lingling in your Moonlight Pavilion."
"In the future... I hope you can take good care of her for me because of your little affection back then."
As soon as these words came out, Tang Yuehua, who had just come down from upstairs and happened to hear these words, and Luo Nan, who was standing aside, were shocked in their hearts.
Tuogu!
Ye Ci This is asking for help!
Luo Nan frowned slightly. "Senior, what happened? Where are Lingling's parents?"
Ye Ci's eyes flashed with painful tears, and the hand holding the crutch trembled slightly:
"Lingling's parents... went deep into the core area of Star Dou Forest five or six years ago, and they... never came back."
"I made many inquiries and asked people to go in and search for their traces. In the end, I only found their tattered clothes."
"These years, I have been dependent on each other with Lingling."
"However, I am almost eighty years old this year. In the early years, I was trying to save people and my health was not very good."
"Now we are in the final years of our lives, and our end is approaching."
"It's not a pity to die for my old bones, but I can't worry about Lingling!"
Ye Ci held Luo Nan's hand tightly, crying, "Nine-Heart Begonia's lineage has always been a single lineage."
"Although this martial spirit possesses heaven-defying healing abilities, it is precisely because of this that it is jealous of the heavens."
"Each generation of descendants is destined to have a bad fate, and it is easy to attract the covetousness of all forces."
"Once I pass away, Lingling, a lonely little girl who is guilty of carrying a treasure, will never survive in this Douluo Continent world where the jungle of the jungle is preyed on by the strong!"
"I have thought about it a lot, and looking at the entire world, you are the only one who can protect Lingling and whose character is trustworthy."
"Luo Nan, I beg you, please accept this child!"
As he said this, Ye Ci actually made a show of kneeling down in front of Luo Nan.
"Senior can't do it!"
Luo Nan, with quick eyes and quick hands, took hold of Ye Ci's arm, and a soft but tough Soul Power held her firmly.
His eyes became extremely firm and he said decisively:
"Senior, you are trying to hurt me!"
"You saved my life back then, and I, Luo Nan, owe you my life."
