Chapter 1093 [Immortal Sword 3]
Chapter 1093 [Immortal Sword 3]
"This is Princess Murong Sangsang of Nanzhao." The Saint's voice was clear and loud, as if it caused a slight ripple in the peaceful forest.
Grandma's eyes fell on Murong Sangsang, with a hint of surprise and confusion in her eyes. She couldn't help but ask, "The eldest princess? The one who is always elusive? I wonder why the eldest princess came here this time?"
Youyou smiled and replied, "I came for Ling'er. The Moon Worship Sect is now searching for Ling'er everywhere, and your place is not a safe place. Ling'er is not only a princess of Nanzhao, but also a descendant of Nuwa, and has an important mission. She can only ensure her safety by following me."
Grandma frowned slightly, obviously doubting what Youyou said. She asked, "Why should I believe you?"
The Saint interrupted, "You have no choice. No matter where you are, you cannot escape the pursuit of the Moon Worship Cult. Only we can protect Ling'er's safety."
Just as grandma was thinking about how to respond, a childish voice suddenly came: "Grandma."
When grandma heard the sound, she looked over and saw Ling'er hiding behind a rock not far away, looking at her timidly. Grandma's face darkened instantly, and she quickly called Ling'er to her side and scolded her: "Didn't I tell you to hide and not come out? Why did you come out?"
Ling'er lowered her head slowly like a child who had done something wrong. Her eyes were slightly red, and it seemed that tears were welling up in her eyes. Her voice was choked with sobs: "Grandma, please don't be angry. It's all Ling'er's fault. Ling'er knows she is wrong."
Seeing Ling'er's pitiful appearance, the anger in her heart suddenly subsided, but she still kept a straight face and asked Youyou and Saint Aunt seriously, "Are the things you just said true?"
Youyou and Saint Aunt looked at each other, then nodded at the same time. Youyou's voice was clear and pleasant: "Of course it's true."
When Ling'er heard Youyou's answer, she couldn't help but look up and her eyes fell on Youyou. She was wearing a gorgeous purple dress with fluttering skirts, like a fairy descending from the earth. She had exquisite hair accessories on her head, which swayed gently with her movements, making her temperament more elegant.
Ling'er stared at Youyou for a long time, and felt an indescribable sense of familiarity in her heart, as if she had seen her somewhere.
Youyou noticed Ling'er's gaze, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and teased: "Your name is Ling'er, right? Is there anything wrong with you staring at me like this?"
Ling'er came back to her senses, scratched her head a little embarrassedly, and stammered: "Hello, Fairy Sister, I... I always feel like I have seen you somewhere, but I can't remember it."
Grandma heard Ling'er's words and her face changed. She quickly scolded, "Ling'er, what nonsense are you talking about! The princess is of noble status, how could you have met her? Even I have never had the honor to meet her, so where can you meet her? Princess, please don't blame me. Ling'er is young and naive. She speaks without restraint. I hope you won't bother with her."
Youyou waved her hand and said with a smile, "It's okay."
Ling'er seemed to suddenly remember something, her eyes lit up, and she shouted excitedly: "I remember! Fairy sister, you are the fairy sister carved on the stone wall!"
"On the stone wall? Where did you see it?" Youyou was a little curious.
"Before, I was playing around and accidentally broke into the secret room. Then I saw a woman in a red dress on the wall inside the secret room. The woman on the stone wall looks exactly like you, Fairy Sister, except for the clothes she wore. Everything else is exactly the same." Ling'er blinked her big eyes and said innocently.
Youyou smiled slightly and asked softly, "So that's how it is. Is there a picture with a snake body and a human head carved on Ling'er?"
Ling'er looked at Youyou in surprise and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Fairy Sister, but how did you know?"
Youyou raised the corner of her mouth slightly and explained, "There are carvings of portraits of saints from past dynasties on it."
Hearing this, the grandmother looked at Ling'er thoughtfully, then turned to Youyou and said, "So, Princess, you are one of the saints of all generations?"
Youyou shook her head and said, "Yes and no, I am not a saint. On the contrary, Xiao Ling'er is the saint of this generation. You can also say she is the descendant of Nuwa."
"Descendants of Nuwa?" Grandma widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief.
Youyou nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, Ling'er's mother is also a descendant of Nuwa."
"Are you too?" Grandma looked at Youyou with suspicion, as if she had doubts about her identity.
Youyou nodded slightly to indicate her agreement.
Seeing this, grandma continued to ask thoughtfully: "Does Ling'er have to follow you?"
Youyou nodded affirmatively and explained, "You can say that I am the only living member of Ling'er's tribe."
Grandma was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Princess, can Ling'er and I go with you?" Her eyes were full of anticipation and earnestness.
Youyou answered without hesitation: "Of course you can."
After hearing this, grandma smiled happily. She slowly squatted down and said to Ling'er gently, "Ling'er, can we leave here with your fairy sister?"
Ling'er blinked her big eyes and answered excitedly, "Okay, I want to follow Fairy Sister!" Her voice was clear and pleasant, like the sound of nature.
"Ling'er, from now on, you will call me Master." Youyou said softly with a smile on her face.
Ling'er was so excited when she heard this that she stared at Youyou with wide eyes, as if she couldn't believe it was true. After a long while, she came back to her senses and asked timidly, "Fairy sister, you...you really want to take me as your apprentice?"
Youyou nodded and said gently: "Of course, as long as you are willing, I will accept you as my disciple."
Ling'er's face suddenly broke into a brilliant smile, and she couldn't help but shouting, "Master!"
The word "Master" was crisp and pleasant, full of Ling'er's admiration and gratitude for Youyou.
Youyou smiled slightly, looked at Ling'er with satisfaction, then turned to her grandmother and said, "Grandma, you should stay with Ling'er from now on. I will arrange for someone to take care of her. You should follow me back to Peach Blossom Valley."
Grandma nodded quickly and said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Princess!"
So, Youyou took Ling'er and grandma on a journey to Peach Blossom Valley. Along the way, Ling'er was very excited and kept asking Youyou various questions, and Youyou also patiently answered them. The master and apprentice got along very well.
……
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.
Today, Peach Blossom Valley is still a picturesque place, with peach blossoms in full bloom. In this valley, there is a graceful girl, Ling'er.
After years of baptism, Ling'er has grown into a slender girl, her skin is as white as snow, like a fairy descended from the earth. Her eyes are as clear as water, revealing a spirit of intelligence.
Behind Ling'er, there is a saint named Anu. Anu was chosen by Youyou for Ling'er. She is smart and loyal to Ling'er.
"Anu, let's go find our master." Ling'er said happily, holding a basket of peaches she picked herself.
"Miss, slow down." Anu hurriedly followed Ling'er and said with concern.
Over the years, Ling'er has been studying with Youyou. She is diligent and hardworking, and has been studying hard. Now she has basically mastered the real power of Nuwa. This power makes Ling'er even more powerful. If she goes out, she will be able to stand on her own.
Ling'er came to the place where Youyou was resting, hopping briskly like a lively little rabbit. She walked to the door and suddenly slowed down, as if she was afraid of disturbing the people inside. Then, she gently raised her hand, knocked on the door carefully, and asked softly, "Master, are you there?"
A gentle voice came from the room: "Come in."
Ling'er looked back at Anu who was standing behind her, smiled and said to her, "Anu, please wait for me outside for a moment, I'll be out soon." Anu nodded obediently, then handed the food box containing peaches to Ling'er.
Ling'er took the food box, gently opened the door again, and walked into the room. She walked to Youyou, put the food box on the table, and then opened the lid to reveal the big, red peaches inside. Ling'er said happily, "Master, these are the fresh peaches I picked for you. I picked the biggest and reddest ones!"
Youyou looked at Ling'er with a trace of kindness in her eyes. She smiled and said, "Thank you, our little Ling'er."
