Huaiyan looked at Lingzhu with bright eyes expectantly, hoping that this good little boy whom he loved would agree.
Lingzhu fell silent as he looked at Huaiyan's face which had the words 'quickly agree' written on it. With that look on his face, it was really hard for him to refuse.
He is an old man, so just go along with him.
When Huai Yan saw Lingzhu nodded in agreement, his face was almost smiling. He said several good words and pulled Lingzhu to sit aside and started chatting.
"Lingzhu, after you see Han Guang and return the sword, what are you going to do? Go back to where you came from?"
Huai Yan poured Lingzhu a cup of hot tea and said curiously.
Lingzhu took the teacup with both hands. The tea was scalding, so she wasn't in a hurry to drink it. After hearing Huaiyan's question, she immediately shook her head and said, "No, it wasn't. This time, when the Fengrao people came to my hometown, ready to kill with unmatched strength, and my weak strength almost forced me to watch the tragedy unfold, I knew that I could no longer accept my weakness."
Before this incident, he could live a carefree life, happily picking fruits in the mountains, fishing in the river, visiting neighbors at mealtime, and playing around like a king of children in his spare time. But when this period of his life reached a stage and became a unique life, he had already learned many cruel truths in the universe.
Lingzhu cannot accept the personality shaped by past experiences to return to ordinary life and wait for other things to come, feeling helpless.
"If possible, I also want to become a Cloud Cavalryman and defeat those demons."
Lingzhu covered her heart, looked at Huaiyan with an extremely determined gaze and said, "I will bear the responsibility for the deaths of those who died because of the abundance of people, and prevent things like this from happening again."
"Is that so? Great, great, this really is the case with young people."
Huai Yan looked at Lingzhu's fair and pretty little face and liked him more and more. His heart was filled with infinite comfort, and at the same time he became more determined to keep him.
"In that case, after Han Guang returns and returns the sword, how about you continue to stay with Grandpa Huai Yan? Grandpa Huai Yan will help you achieve this goal!"
Seeing the adults who were so impatient that they even started to call themselves Grandpa Huaiyan, the Yunqi soldiers on the side twitched their mouths. "Master Huaiyan, isn't your intention becoming more and more obvious? You are almost not hiding it. Are you going to be a grandfather directly in the next step?"
I can only say that this is how old people are. They really like and have high expectations for their younger generations.
Huai Yan patted his chest and said confidently, "Don't look at me like this. I'm really powerful. Whether it's forging skills or true strength, there's no one in the entire Zhu Ming Xianzhou who can compare to me. All the disciples I've taught have become talented people. I can definitely fulfill your wish."
Putting his hand on his chin, Lingzhu blinked at the old man in front of him. Huaiyan now looked much gentler and kinder than his other self. He was often angry with that [Wanxiang]. If he was not short enough, he would have reached out and pulled his ears.
How should I put it? Maybe it’s because his other self is always giving him trouble.
Lingzhu thought so, but still said: "Old man, you are so amazing."
"That's the disciples I taught, the best ones. They were able to kill the enemy bravely on the battlefield, frightening them so much that they dared not even raise their heads. The moves they made in the Casting Palace were truly unparalleled treasures."
Huai Yan said proudly while stroking his beard, but something came into his mind and his breath suddenly became a little weak, and he looked a little sad.
Lingzhu remained silent, giving the old man some space.
"Sorry, dear, but when you get old, it's easy to recall the past."
"That's all right, old sir."
Huai Yan smiled, cheered himself up, and asked Ling Zhu expectantly, "So, are you willing to learn by my side?"
Facing this question, Lingzhu also showed a smile: "Of course, old sir, Lingzhu will not let you down."
"Ahem." Huai Yan closed his eyes, clenched his fist and put it to his mouth to cough, then quietly opened one eye and looked at Lingzhu: "Are you still calling me old sir?"
"Then... Master? What is the apprenticeship ceremony like in Xianzhou?"
"Wrong again." Huai Yan shook his head again, stroked his beard and said slowly: "Call me Grandpa~ Grandpa~."
Lingzhu blinked and expressed her doubts.
Why does it seem that this is not the process in the traces of my other self?
The Yunqi soldiers standing by couldn't help but say in their hearts, "Master Yan, you must have wanted to say this for a long time. It's really hard for you to hold it in for so long. By the way, weren't you a little too quick to act? It was obvious that Lingzhu just wanted to return the sword and express his gratitude at first."
"Oh, if you can't accept it right now, you can just call Huai Yan grandpa. I'll give you a reward if you tell me."
Seeing the adult take out a large pile of forging works from his pocket, Yunqijun covered his face with his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Sir, image, image.

Easter eggs:
As a semi-retired employee in the company, Guster likes to play with the gems with the power of the Amber King as marbles in her spare time. She has also invited others to join her, but it seems that no one is willing to fulfill her little wish.
------------
This little old man is so cute.
Huaiyan did this because of Guan Xingbang's influence + Lingzhu's character is good in all aspects, and he is still young (about a few years old) and has no parents + the elderly just want to take more care of the child, so it is not too abrupt.
Volume 296: Two Little Kids: Chapter : Huai Yan, who had a conflict with Luo Fu, was furious
Jingle bell, jingle bell.
The golden bells on the ankles made a pleasant sound.
Bare feet stepped onto the training ground, each tiny toe slightly spread apart as it touched the ground, like a petal in full bloom. Her fair skin glowed with health under the sunlight overhead.
Lingzhu closely followed the feeling of the body, swung the long sword in hand, cutting through the air with the whistling of the wind, full of power, and sometimes as slow as flowing water, light and graceful.
Under the scorching sun, beads of sweat oozed out of Lingzhu's forehead, but it did not affect the concentration and determination in his eyes. His bright golden eyes sparkled, and he completely immersed his mind in this daily training.
Although he made a mistake at the beginning of the training and triggered the bell's warning, Lingzhu quickly adjusted himself and the bell blended perfectly with his rhythm, making a pleasant sound.
Of course, your feet and other things will not get dirty, and the bell also has a corresponding cleaning function. In addition, there are a lot of functions such as mute and navigation.
As for why it was designed that way and why all sorts of messy functions were added, I can only say that when people live long enough, they will always do some messy things when they are bored.
The longevity of the Xianzhou people and the strength of the Xianzhou Alliance allow them to have ample time and energy to polish their works. Some may even tinker with them for several years or even more than ten years just for that little bit of beauty and ritual. Therefore, the things of Xianzhou basically have a unique charm and are loved by people.
Zhu Mingxianzhou is a hot place, and people here generally like to dress cooler, so Lingzhu also adapted to the local customs. After trying it, he found it quite comfortable.
Huaiyan sat aside comfortably with a cup of tea in his hand, smiling as he watched this pleasant scene.
Because Lingzhu had promised Huaiyan in the Casting Palace before, after going back to say goodbye to the people in her hometown, Lingzhu officially stayed in the Zhuming Immortal Boat to learn and grow by Huaiyan's side.
Then Huai Yan was quite glad that he had gone to the Casting Palace that day and had met such a good kid, whose ability, talent, and character were first-class. No matter what he taught, Lingzhu could quickly master it and practice it patiently and diligently.
Looking at Lingzhu's light and energetic figure in the sun, Huaiyan felt relieved, but at the same time couldn't help but recall things that happened a long time ago.
Once upon a time, there was also a disciple as energetic as Lingzhu who trained in front of him, but he used a gun and was not at all reassuring. He often went out to drink, watch plays, make friends and compete in martial arts.
Whenever Huai Yan tried to teach him forging, he would play dumb and not want to learn any forging skills, saying that it was too boring and he had no interest.
It really makes him mad! It's a pity that he has such top-notch flame and fire control skills. If he can curb his playful heart and learn some forging, he can become a master craftsman.
But it is undeniable that the enthusiastic Phoenix is indeed one of his most proud disciples. Even if he does not learn forging and does not compete for the position of general of Zhu Ming, he is still a person who can take on the responsibility of Zhu Ming.
Then he was kidnapped...
“…”
Thinking of this, Huai Yan took a sip of tea quite depressed.
Emperor Gong, why would you, a bird, get involved with a fox? She kidnapped you and took you to Luofu, and you never came back.
He spent several days thinking about what kind of sophisticated means the white-haired fox had used to kidnap his free-spirited disciple, since she didn't look smart.
Ah, forget it, just go, come back when you’ve had enough fun.
Then a few years later, he sent a short-lived kid over, saying that he was very talented and he could try to teach him.
He originally thought that he had had enough of wandering around in Luofu and missed the old man, but it turned out that he came to him to do something. Huai Yan was so angry that he cursed him as a heartless turkey.
But later, he carefully observed the short-lived man named Ying Xing and found that he was indeed a talented person who could inherit his mantle, so he changed his mind and said, "Okay, although he would not learn his forging skills, he found another extremely outstanding disciple for him."
After his instruction and under his gratified gaze, Ying Xing ignored the limitations of his lifespan as a short-lived species, absorbed his forging techniques with all his strength, and became a skilled craftsman. This made him feel proud, as he had gained another of his most outstanding disciples.
Then, he also slipped away to Luofu...
Even now, Huai Yan couldn't help but face darkening when he recalled this incident.
He knew that Xingbang was abducted by a vixen, but Yingxing ran away on his own.
No, why? What kind of magic potion did Luofu Xianzhou give you that made you all run to Luofu Xianzhou?
Oh, forget it. Anyway, we are all working for the Xianzhou Alliance. It doesn’t matter where we venture out. Seeing that they have a promising future, I can convince myself to be happy.
Then, he suddenly led the people of Fengzao to attack Luofu...
He went to Luofu with his two most outstanding and proud disciples. One of them blew himself up with the Order of Plenty and died without a complete body. The other one had his heart broken, did something stupid, and was finally exiled from Luofu.
Huai Yan hardly said a word during that period, and even ignored Teng Xiao who came to apologize. Huai Yan was not an old man who played nice, he also had a temper. It was better to say that he did not pull out a sword to fight him because he was thinking about the Xianzhou Alliance's life and death.
Alas, his disciples who have suffered so much.
Perhaps it was the Emperor's blessing, however. Some time later, he learned from the newly appointed General Luofu that Xingbang had been resurrected beside the person he had protected with his life. In the form of a phoenix, although not the same form as before, at least he was still alive, right? This was a comfort to the old man. If he had time, he would go and see what he looked like now.
But... when he gets there, he's not going to give General Luofu a good look! Damn that white-haired lion head of his!!!
When did my disciple, Zhu Ming's Phoenix, become your Luofu's auspicious Phoenix? !!! You have no shame at all!!!
Humph, it makes the old man upset.
As for his other disciple, Ying Xing, Huai Yan could only say that learning good things was easy, but once bad things happened, Luofu wouldn't allow him to enter. Did Zhu Ming say anything?! Even if it wasn't allowed openly, couldn't you come and see him secretly?!
As a result, that brat was afraid to see him because of his stupid behavior before, and the occasional letters he sent to him were also timid. It seems that he also knew that it was a very stupid thing for him to be a star core hunter, but he didn't dare to come to Zhu Ming to find him as a master.
If he saw him, Huai Yan swore that he would be showing mercy by not sending him to Dandingsi to live there for a few years.
Anyway, that brat is very durable now that he has Xingbang's blessing. There is no need to worry about anything happening. You can just beat him as hard as you want.
Thinking of this, Huai Yan's fingers moved, and it seemed that he was itching to do something.
"Forget it, let's not think about those two brats who don't care about the elderly at all. It's better to use the Spirit Pearl to make things easier for us."
Huai Yan looked at the boy in the training ground with satisfaction, and saw a dazzling star in the future of Zhu Mingxianzhou slowly rising.
"Huh~, I'm a little tired."
Lingzhu wiped the sweat from her face with her sleeve, and her white training clothes became wet and stuck to her skin.
Zhu Mingxianzhou is indeed a little hotter than his hometown, and he still needs time to adapt.
Lingzhu came and sat next to Huaiyan, took the water and towel he handed over, smiled brightly at Huaiyan, and said something crisply.
"Thank you, Grandpa Huaiyan."
Huaiyan's face became more and more kind. It was really a joy to have such a little disciple.
It would be even better if he could just call him grandpa. He really wanted to hear Lingzhu call him that.
But there is still a long way to go, and I will have a chance to hear it in the future.
The training is over, and now it's time for the two of them to chat.
"Lingzhu, you've almost mastered the sword technique. What else do you want to learn next?"
Huai Yan asked Ling Zhu, and it must be said that Ling Zhu's learning efficiency was indeed amazing. He was able to improve his swordsmanship to such a level in such a short period of time, which was far from his limit.
According to Lingzhu's idea, he also wanted to learn other weapons and become first-class in them.
Logically speaking, this idea is not a good one. Human energy is limited, and only by focusing energy on one thing can we achieve better results.
However, Huaiyan had taught a disciple who had broken through the lifespan limitations of his own short species and achieved extraordinary achievements. He knew that some people in the universe could not be treated with common sense, and he believed in the ability of his little disciple.
"I want to learn how to shoot."
Lingzhu responded immediately.
Huai Yan was stunned for a moment, then he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Your spear skills are good. I once taught someone who was very good at using a spear. Let's see if you can surpass him."
"I think I can." Lingzhu said confidently.
Lingzhu is a young man with a strong spirit and is full of enthusiasm for everything. His current dazzling self-confidence does not sound arrogant at all, but only makes people feel that if it were him, he might really be able to do it.
"Well, that's it. Keep up the momentum. When you've mastered the spear technique, I'll make you a gun myself."
After hearing these words, Lingzhu's eyes lit up a little. For some reason, as Lingzhu, he was very interested in various weapons.
Huai Yan looked at Lingzhu and nodded with satisfaction. Then, he suddenly thought of something and his expression became very serious. He reached out and patted Lingzhu, saying solemnly, "But don't leave your grandfather Huai Yan without saying a word after you have learned everything. Otherwise, I will be angry."
It seems that the matter between Guan Xingbang and Ying Xing had a great impact on him, and he still can't forget it.
Yes, if anyone's two most proud disciples ran away to other places and got into trouble there, Huai Yan's opinion would be too light now.
Lingzhu smiled helplessly: "No, Grandpa Huaiyan, I will stay with Zhu Ming and accompany you."
There are already a lot of "selves" in Luofu, so there's no point for him to go there again, right?
"That's the best, Grandpa, I'm very happy, hahahaha."
"By the way, by the way, you should also stay away from anything that belongs to Luofu."
