reborn just to love you

"Longao"!Looking at the young man's expressionless face, Ling Yan sighed quietly. To be honest, she was a little elusive about the young man's mind.

"Senior, do you have something to eat?"Long Ao suddenly said something.

"Ah! Oh! Yes", Ling Yan was stunned for a long time before replying.

"Long Ao, are you hungry?"Looking at the young man who looked like he was definitely not good, Ling Yan endured it for a long time, but couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

"Well, I haven't eaten for a long time," Long Ao said vaguely.

When I first came out of the secret realm, I didn’t feel hungry. When I was in Yangfu, I only ate a little symbolically. Maybe it’s because I just ate the fire spirit fruit!I feel so hungry now.

"You broke through in the secret realm!"Ling Yan said.

"En", Long Ao nodded to the other party after quickly disposing of the food in his hand.

"When I came back to my senses, I realized that I had broken through. Not only that, but I also jumped several steps in a row."

"My current cultivation is at the peak of the Sword Emperor's middle level. To be honest, I have always found it incredible."

"Unexpectedly, I jumped six steps in a row without my knowing. If they hadn't mentioned it, I really wouldn't know that I stayed in it for three years." Long Ao shook his head, showing some emotion.

In fact, she didn't know that she could jump several steps in a row not only because the place where she broke through was rich in spiritual power.

It was because the iron sword, which seemed ordinary to her, helped her a lot.

Although she has been enlightening for the past three years, with the help of Tie Jian, her practice has not fallen for a single day.

"Then it seems that you have already defined your own direction and found your own way," Ling Yan said with a smile.

"My way"!Long Ao twitched the corner of his mouth, "Yes! My way."

The smile at the corner of Ling Yan's mouth disappeared, and she looked at the young man's slightly sad expression, with a little puzzlement on her face.

Finding one's own way, clarifying one's own direction, and becoming stronger, isn't this something to be happy about!

Why, she got it from this boy.He couldn't see a trace of joy, but was surrounded by a touch of sadness.

As soon as his expression moved, Ling Yan suddenly remembered what the young man said when they first met.

"The power in my hands, the strength I have now, was not what I prayed for."

"If you gain something, you will inevitably lose something. If I can choose, I would rather not have this power, not this powerful."

"Long Ao", after thinking for a long time, Ling Yan finally opened his mouth and said, "In terms of cultivation, I really can't help you more, but I can share with you what I have learned."

"Senior, I..."!

"Long Ao, don't refuse. I did this to thank you. You helped Yun Yin untie the knot in his heart. If you can help you, I think it's not just me, Yun Yin will also agree with me." Long Ling Yan cut off the topic before he could finish his proud words.

"Senior, thank you," Long Ao was silent for a moment before opening his mouth.

"You don't have to thank me, I'm just sharing what I've learned with you! As for whether you can gain anything, it depends on yourself," Ling Yan said with a smile.

Long Ao didn't say anything else, but saluted with his hands clasped together, and then sat down cross-legged.

Ling Yan smiled, and made a mudra with both hands, a white light emitted from the fingertips, and disappeared between Long Ao's brows.

Seeing Long Ao who had settled down and concentrated on comprehending, Ling Yan left the place quietly.

The time in practice is easy to pass, and before you know it, it will be another three years.

In the past three years, because Long Ao had enlightened here, Ling Yan lived elsewhere, and ordered everyone not to come here to disturb him.

In the past three years, when Wuying and the other three learned that Long Ao was practicing in seclusion, they made every effort to improve their cultivation.

In their words, "Master has worked so hard, how can we as disciples not work hard"!

Therefore, in the past three years, each of them has made great progress in their strength.

After all, this place is full of spiritual power, coupled with Ling Yan's guidance from time to time, the cultivation of the three of them has undergone astonishing changes.

But what is worth mentioning is that with the help of Ling Yan, Lin Xue and Yang Yan have successfully advanced to become sword kings.

But Wuying was stuck at this stage and failed to advance.

Wuying has a special physique, even if Ling Yan is a saint, he still can't give her any real help.

Therefore, in the past three years, Wuying's cultivation has fallen behind two people.

"Little junior sister, come to see Master again!"

"Senior Sister, you are here, and it has been another three years. I don't know when Master will be able to leave the customs." Wuying stood on the bluestone road and did not go forward.

Long Aowu said that he needed a quiet environment, so of course they would not rush to disturb him.

"Yeah, another three years." Looking at the end of the Qingshi path, both of them felt a little emotional.

"Junior Sister, don't be too impatient. When Master comes out of retreat, he will definitely help you break through quickly." Lin Xue patted Wuying's shoulder. "I believe your cultivation will surpass ours soon."

"Xiaoxue", Yang Yan gave Lin Xue a hand, rolled his eyes at her, although he knew that she had good intentions, but such straightforward words, wouldn't it be embarrassing for people!

"Ah! I, that, I didn't mean that, I just..."!After receiving Yang Yan's supercilious look, Lin Xue came to her senses.

"Senior Sister, it's okay." Seeing Lin Xue explaining incoherently, Wu Ying said with a smile.

"When I first saw your breakthroughs, I was indeed a little anxious, but now I am no longer anxious. Master said that the most important thing in the journey of cultivation is to avoid impatience. It is useless to worry."

"It's just that since I became a teacher, I have been with my master. The last time I was separated from my master for three years in the secret realm, I didn't expect that this time, it will usher in another three years."

Junior sister, do you miss Master?" Yang Yan patted her head.

"En", Wuying nodded, "Actually, I know that one day Master will leave us."

"Because he has his purpose, and we have our purpose, one day, for our own original purpose, we will go to different places."

"Little junior sister, I have grown up!"Lin Xue and the two looked at each other, feeling a little relieved.

"Little Junior Sister", Yang Yan took a step forward, squatted in front of Wuying, put his hand on her head, and said gently.

"Even if one day we will separate for our original purpose, but I believe that we will meet again."

"Because we are looking forward to this, so the result will definitely be like this."

"Yes, Junior Sister." Lin Xue put her hands on her shoulders, with the usual bright smile on her face.

"Even if there is such a day, the master leaves in order to find and save the teacher's wife, shouldn't we be happy for him!"

"Besides, as long as you don't annoy us, Xiaoyan and I will stay by your side."

"kindness"!Yang Yan nodded slightly.

"Yes"!Wuying curled the corners of his mouth, smiling childishly.

If Master's departure was to find happiness, why would she feel sad?And now, Master is still by her side.

"That is, Yue..."!The three of them blinked in surprise. When the three of them had their own thoughts and thoughts, a silver lightning flashed past the three of them, pulling back their thoughts of flying away.

"Hey! Yue, stop, Master can't be disturbed now, the three of them seemed to have just woken up, and ran after them.

"Master, Master", the three of them stopped and looked at each other, and they all saw puzzlement in each other's eyes.

Long Ao had been enlightened for three years, did he not gain anything?Looking at the young man in front of them, the three of them didn't take a step forward.

Is it because he is afraid of breaking the picture that looks like a painting, or because Long Ao at this time looks different from before!It made the three of them feel a little strange for a while.

I saw the smiling young man in front of him, gently stroking the hair of the monster in front of him.

Perhaps because it was too comfortable, Warcraft squeezed his eyes, looking like he was enjoying himself.

Different from the previous coldness, different from the previous shallow smile, Long Ao's smile at this time is warm and unreal.

No matter who it is, when they saw Long Ao for the first time, their impression of her was cold and unapproachable.

It was as if there was an invisible wall beside her, blocking everyone from this wall.

But now, this invisible wall doesn't seem to exist anymore, this picture seems to have softened Long Ao's original cold temperament a lot, making people feel a lot more friendly.

However, the three of them blinked. Although Long Ao looked more popular at this time, it made people feel that she was not real.

It's like the clouds in the sky, they will disappear without a trace when touched, they are clearly in the eyes, but they seem to be far away in the sky.

"You are here." Looking at the three of them, the smile on Long Ao's face grew stronger. Master, seeing the young man's gentle smile, the three stepped forward and stopped three steps away from Long Ao. , I was stunned and didn't take another step forward.

If in the past, the three of them would have jumped on Long Ao long ago, Long Ao put Yinyue on his shoulders, didn't care about the abnormal behavior of the three, stood up, picked a fire spirit fruit and gnawed it.

"Hearing movement here, I thought it must be you who left the customs."

When Long Ao finished handling the fire spirit fruit in his hand and was about to pick the second one, Lingyan appeared with Yun Yin.

"Senior, I have troubled you for the past three years, thank you for taking care of them for me," Long Ao clasped his fists and said.

"Hehe, don't be so alien, I just gave them some advice"!

"Others, I didn't do anything. They can have their current cultivation bases, but it's all because of their hard work." Ling Yan said with a smile.

"It's you", Ling Yan looked her up and down, and continued.

"Why are you deliberately suppressing your cultivation? You should know that forcibly suppressing your cultivation will be counterproductive."

"I know", Long Ao nodded, but he didn't care at all.

"Why are you doing this?" Ling Yan frowned.

"Senior," Long Ao said, "You should know that after I broke through the secret realm, I jumped several steps in a row!

"I know, but what does this have to do with your deliberate suppression of your cultivation?" Ling Yan looked a little puzzled.

"Senior, the most dreadful thing in the journey of cultivation is the quick success, although I didn't use any improper means when I broke through, but let nature take its course."

"But no matter what, my cultivation has jumped too fast. After I came out of the secret realm, I didn't have time to tidy it up, so I came to the senior."

"Because I jumped too fast before, I didn't have a deep understanding of my current state."

"That's why I choose to accept the help of my seniors. I hope that through this retreat, I can calm down and understand."

"Although I have indeed gained something from this retreat, but because I jumped too fast before, I am afraid that my foundation will be unstable.

"If I choose to break through without any scruples this time, it will not be a good thing for me," Long Ao said lightly.

"You're right." Looking at the young man's calm face, Ling Yan's expression seemed a little subtle.

"While facing the temptation of powerful forces, you can still think about so much. To be honest, I admire you quite a lot."

"Senior praised you absurdly," Long Ao replied blankly.

Looking at the boy's expressionless face, Ling Yan hooked the corners of his mouth, revealing a playful expression.

When this young man met for the first time, people felt a little unpredictable, just like now, it was difficult for people to peek into his heart.

However, looking at the young man, the smile on the corner of Ling Yan's mouth became wider, which is more interesting, isn't it, isn't it very challenging to tear off the layer of camouflage surrounding the young man!

Long Ao shuddered uncontrollably, she always felt that she was being watched by something terrible.

"Long Ao, congratulations on getting out of the customs smoothly." After seeing the two finished their conversation, Yun Yin threw out the topic.

"Did they get along well with you?"Long Ao patted the other party's head. Yun Yin was relatively young, and she seemed to have an extra brother.

"They are very nice to me and will play with me, but they spend less time coming to me to play, because most of their time is spent practicing."

"Really! It seems that I have to work hard," Long Ao said with a smile. "As a master, you have to set a good example for them."

"You are a good enough role model. They only work so hard when they see you working so hard, right?"When saying the last sentence, Ling Yan looked at the three of them.

"Yes", the three nodded at the same time.

"They practice so hard, not entirely because they want to accomplish their own goals, but also because there is always a figure in front of them who is persistent and hardworking, encouraging them."

"Of course!"Looking into the distance, Long Ao said with blurred eyes, "If we are not strong enough, then we will not be able to do anything, and we will not be able to protect anything."

"Practice so hard, not because we want to become stronger, nor because we desire to have great strength, but because we must become stronger, we must have great strength, we must work so hard, and we must not let up!"

"Okay, don't talk about such a heavy topic." After a while of silence, Ling Yan broke the silence first.

"You have retreated for three years, and you just left today. I have ordered you to go down and prepare meals. If you have anything to do, let's talk about it after dinner!"

"Anyway, my two fire spirit fruits, even if you eat them up, they still won't fill your stomach." Ling Yan looked at Long Ao's fruit cough before he had time to destroy his body and traces, and said slowly.

As if nothing had happened, Long Ao glanced at the fruit shell on the ground, stretched out his hand to pick another fire spirit fruit, and swayed it past Ling Yan's side.

Ling Yan was stunned for a moment, looked at Long Ao's back, shook his head helplessly, and followed.

After eating, the others left one by one with the excuse that they had something to do, and when they realized it, only Long Ao and Wuying were left.

"Master"!

"Let's go for a walk"!As soon as Wuying spoke, she was interrupted by Long Ao.

"Okay", Wuying nodded obediently, walking among the spirit flowers and spirit grass, smelling the faint fragrance of flowers, neither of them spoke, but enjoying the faint tranquility.

"Ying'er, what do you think about the fact that you failed to break through?" After walking for an unknown amount of time, Long Ao finally spoke when no one could see where they were standing.

"Master"!Wuying took a look at Long Ao and seemed a little hesitant.

"I think it may be that my obsession is not deep enough! Senior Ling Yan also told me before that human obsession often becomes a stumbling block on the road of cultivation, so..."!You're a little shaken, aren't you?" Long Ao opened his mouth and continued what Wuying hadn't finished saying.

"I......"!Wuying's expression seemed a little annoyed, and it was obviously impossible to say that she didn't have other thoughts because of Ling Yan's words.

When she saw Lin Xue breaking through one after another, while she alone was still standing still, she was shaken and doubted.

She even wondered more than once whether she should try to let go of her obsession as Ling Yan said.

If it wasn't for Long Ao's irreplaceable position in her heart, she might have already tried Ling Yan's advice because of her impatience.

"Ying'er, it is not wrong to say that obsession is the most taboo in the journey of cultivation, because obsession is also a demon in the heart, it can help us grow, and it can also destroy us."

"If it is other people, I will also persuade them to give up their obsession, because only in this way can they go further."

"Just like Xue'er and Yan'er, I will help them untie their knots and let them let go of their obsessions."

"Because only in this way can they break through and not be bound."

"But we are different from them. The obsession in our hearts will mean how far we can go."

"Once we lose our obsession, it means that we lose the opportunity to become stronger."

"Because we are different from them, and the things we put our feelings on are different," Long Ao said lightly.

From her voice, she couldn't hear the slightest emotional fluctuation, but Wu Ying's expression seemed a little surprised.

It's because only those who know Long Ao know that her mood is not quite right at this moment.

"Master"!Gathering his mind, Wuying opened his mouth and said.

"Although obsession is the driving force for us to move forward, sometimes it will become our stumbling block as it is now."

"Because Master was always by my side before, my practice was so smooth, and I didn't encounter many bottlenecks, but this time."

"Because Master is no longer by my side, I can't do anything. I know I'm bad, and I also know that I can't always rely on Master."

"But, I really have no choice. I have thought about all the other ways I can think of, but there is no way to break through." Wuying looked a little frustrated, a little annoyed, and a little self-blame.

"What did you think when you saw Xue'er and the others break through?" Long Ao said, with a gentle smile on his face.

"In the beginning, I was actually quite anxious," Wu Ying said after thinking about it.

"I saw the senior sisters and the others break through, but I was the only one who was still standing still. No matter how hard I tried, I didn't make any progress."

"I felt very irritable and aggrieved, but after a while, I slowly calmed down."

"Every day I accompany the senior sisters and the others to learn from each other, and when I go out for a walk by myself, I feel quite calm in my heart, and I am not as anxious as I was at the beginning."

"This is the proof of your progress," Long Ao patted her on the head and said with a smile.

"Having a normal heart is the most important thing for us practitioners."

"But...! Master, I still don't quite understand," Wuying said with some doubts.

"Now I have a normal heart, and I am no longer impatient or irritable because I can't break through, but why, there is still no sign of breakthrough."

"Or, I can't break through, because my obsession is not strong enough, or because I have wavered."

"Ying'er", Long Ao put his hands behind his head, lay down, closed his eyes, and said softly.

"As I said before, we don't put our emotions on the same things as other people."

"different"?Wuying questioned in confusion.

"Yes, Ying'er, do you still remember how you felt when you first broke through? Do you still remember what kind of mood you were in when you possessed the spirit sword?"Long Ao asked.

"I, remember", Wuying's answer seemed a little hesitant, because she didn't understand what it had to do with the topic they were discussing now.

"What does the spirit sword mean to you"?Long Ao asked.

"The spirit sword is the proof that I have become stronger." After thinking for a while, Wu Ying said. "It is also a collection of my obsessions."

"The Spirit Sword is not just a tool for your revenge," Long Ao said flatly.

"It is the sustenance of all our emotions. Driven by this emotion, we have some understanding and finally succeeded in breaking through."

"It can also be said that the Spirit Sword is the aggregation of our obsessions, but at the same time, the Spirit Sword is also the aggregation of our emotions."

"It entrusts the warmth we once had, and it also entrusts the feelings that we can no longer get back now."

"So, for us, it is not just a sword, because in this spiritual sword, not only our obsessions, but also our feelings are stored."

"The most important thing is that it holds our hearts, I say that, do you understand"?Long Ao looked at Wuying with a gentle expression.

"Master, I think I understand," Wuying nodded solemnly.

She had already remembered what kind of emotion drove her to break through when she was in the Demonic Forest.

At that time, at the time of life and death, she thought a lot about her unwillingness to avenge her family and her strong yearning for her family.

When she gathered these feelings into the sword in her hand, she also understood the meaning of what Long Ao said to her.

So, she succeeded, she broke through, maybe the success came too suddenly, so for a long time afterwards, she forgot the mood of breaking through at that time.

Just because success blinded her eyes, and because the desire for revenge was too urgent, it made her forget the most important thing.

Perhaps the obsessions Master mentioned were not demons but emotions, so their obsessions did not become their stumbling blocks, but became their motivation.

Perhaps from the very beginning, she thought wrongly. It was not only hatred that pushed her forward, but the most important thing was her feelings for her family.

Because there is love in her heart, and because there is heart in her sword, her spirit sword will respond to her.

This is also the reason why she was able to break through when she was in the Demonic Forest.

Why would she forget such an important thing!Clenching the spirit sword in his hand tightly, Wuying almost shed tears.

Long Ao stood up and left silently. Feeling the fluctuation of spiritual power behind him, Long Ao curled his mouth and showed a gratified smile.

After leaving the place where Wuying stayed, Long Ao returned to Lingyan's bamboo house and began to retreat.

Ten days later, the spiritual power of the six elements began to gather towards the bamboo house. When the spiritual power dissipated, Long Ao's figure did not appear in front of everyone's eyes.

"What's the matter, why didn't the master come out?" Lin Xue kept looking inward, among the few people who obviously couldn't calm down, it was Lin Xue.

"He seems to have retreated again," Ling Yan said helplessly.

"Hey, Master is in retreat again." Lin Xue's voice couldn't help but amplified a little.

"Well, if my induction is correct," Ling Yan said with a smile.

Lin Xue shut up decisively, Ling Yan is a saint, how could she make a mistake.

"Master won't come out for the time being, let's leave first!"There is no shadow.

"Little sister is right, I don't know when Master will leave the retreat this time."

"It's useless for us to waste here, let's do what we should do."

"After all, Master has worked so hard, we have to work hard," Yang Yan said with a smile.

I think your master will never come out until the critical point," Ling Yan said with a smile.

The three just smiled and did not speak, because in their minds, Long Ao itself was a miracle.

The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another year passed.

On this day, the spiritual power of the six elements gathered towards the bamboo house again, which also alarmed the few people who were busy with various things.

Seeing this scene, several people rushed to the bamboo house at their fastest speed.

When the spiritual power of the six elements dissipated, a figure slowly appeared in the sight of everyone.

Among them, Yinyue was the fastest. At this time, this little guy was already crawling on Long Ao's shoulders, squinting his animal eyes slightly, looking lazy.

"Long Ao, congratulations! Unexpectedly, in just a few years, you have already faintly seen that door."

"To be honest, even I have to say admiration to you." Looking at the young man, Ling Yan seemed very relieved.

Although Long Ao was not her apprentice, she was also very relieved to see the boy's amazing growth in the past few years.

"Thank you senior for your compliment," Long Ao accepted Ling Yan's compliment generously.

"Long Ao, do you know what the realm of a saint is?" Ling Yan threw out a heavy bomb without giving the master and apprentice any time to talk.

"The Realm of Saints"?Long Ao then repeated.

"Yes, the realm of saints", Ling Yan nodded with a smile.

"Senior, you..."!Long Ao's expression is not so much surprised, it is more appropriate to say that it comes from surprise.

Hearing the conversation between the two, the others retreated consciously, leaving the place to them.

"The so-called realm of saints requires not only understanding and cultivation, but the most important thing is opportunity."

Not caring about Long Ao's reaction, Ling Yan sat down cross-legged instead, pretending to have a long talk.

"Senior, what does this opportunity refer to?" After hearing Ling Yan's words, Long Ao also posed his own doubts.

"This refers to the approval of heaven and earth." Ling Yan put away his smile and looked very serious.

"Recognition from heaven and earth"?Long Ao asked back.

"Yes", Ling Yan nodded, "What is a sage, a sage is a person who has surpassed the boundaries of ordinary people and is recognized by heaven and earth."

"Being recognized by the world is the chance that the predecessors said"?Long Ao asked.

"Yes", Ling Yan replied, "Only those who are recognized by heaven and earth can become saints, and I can't help you with this."

"But I can send you to a place for training. As for whether you will get this opportunity in the end, it depends on yourself."

"Where?" Long Ao asked.

"A place where you can find opportunities", Ling Yan replied, but did not give it any other answers.

"What do I need to do?" Long Ao asked, from her expression and tone, it was impossible to tell that she had any mood swings.

"Long Ao", Ling Yan stared at Long Ao for a while before opening his mouth.

"Before sending you to that place, I will completely seal your cultivation, until you step into that door, your seal will be lifted automatically."

"Of course, I will also tell you how to unseal the seal. When your life is threatened, you can choose to unseal it."

"Long Ao", after a pause, Ling Yan continued. "I can't tell you how to get heaven and earth's approval, so I can only do this."

"Of course, as to whether to use this method or not, it still depends on your own choice."

"Senior, thank you very much for telling me so much, and even helping me so much." Long Ao stood up, shook his clothes, and knelt down towards Ling Yan.

"Although the two of us don't have the name of mentor and apprentice, we already have the reality of mentor and apprentice. If the seniors don't dislike it, would you be willing to accept me as an apprentice?"

"Long Ao", Ling Yan supported her, but did not let her bow down, and helped the boy up, Ling Yan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"When I first met you, I really wanted to take you as an apprentice, because your talent is really amazing."

"However, seeing your amazing growth in the past few years, I have already given up this idea."

"Now, instead of being commensurate with you and your master and apprentice, I would rather discuss friendship with your peers."

"I am the only saint on this continent. I stand at the top of this continent. Everyone respects me, fears me, and regards me as a god."

"If you stand alone for a long time, you will always feel tired. It has been so many years."

"Because of my cultivation, I am destined to stand where I stand, which means that the scenery I see is different from other people."

"There are no friends who can be talked about as peers, and there are no people who can talk about Taoism."

"A person who has stood at that height for a long time will hope that at the same height and in the same position, there will be someone who stands side by side with him."

"Long Ao, after seeing your growth in the past few years, I gave up the idea of ​​taking you as an apprentice."

"Compared to accepting you as an apprentice, I would rather have someone who can stand on the same level as me in the near future."

"Long Ao, you are the first person I have met in so many years who is expected to see that door."

"So, I am full of expectations for you, and I hope that in the near future, the scenery you see in your eyes is the same as that of me now."

"This is also the reason why I can't wait to mention this realm to you"!

"Senior, thank you for thinking of me so much," Long Ao clasped his fists and bowed to Ling Yan in salute.

"But I can't promise you anything, because no one knows how far I can go on this road, including myself."

"The only thing I can promise you is that I will work hard, because I still have goals that I must achieve."

"So no matter how difficult it is, I will go on. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are working hard."

"You can say that, I'm already very happy. I hope that in the future, we can stand in the same position and see the same scenery." Ling Yan smiled and expressed his expectations for this young man.
