Now Long Ling'Er's face was covered in tears, her voice somewhat choked. At fifteen or sixteen years old, she should have been growing up happily, adored by her parents. But now, her father was poisoned, and her mother was held captive. How could Long Ling'Er withstand such changes within the family? Moreover, she was still just a child.
Xiao Tianyu's gaze fell on Long Ling'Er opposite him, and his expression showed little fluctuation.
He said, "Everything will pass!"
"Will it really pass?" Long Ling'Er's eyes sparkled with tears, "Currently, Long Ao has already become a Core Disciple of the Heaven Slayer Academy, not to mention his strong talent. He is bound to be valued by the Heaven Slayer Academy. If he leads the experts of Heaven Slayer Academy to suppress the Long Family, even if my father weren't poisoned, I'm afraid it would be hard to resist!"
"Then you must cultivate well!" Xiao Tianyu comforted her.
"Yes, I must cultivate well. I must join the Emperor Star Academy. Even if I can't save my parents, I will avenge them in the future!" Long Ling'Er wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, a determined look appearing on her youthful face.
She couldn't control the current situation of the Long family, but she had a future. Her talent was no less than Long Ao's; she was just a few years younger and lacking time. She believed that she could definitely make Emperor Star Academy look at her with newfound respect.
"Don't be so pessimistic!" Xiao Tianyu said to Long Ling'Er, "Your father's poison isn't without a solution, and the Long family's crisis isn't without a way to dissolve. At least, I can do it!"
Poof~
Upon hearing this, Long Ling'Er glanced at Xiao Tianyu with her beautiful eyes and laughed, "You say you can!"
"Of course!" Xiao Tianyu nodded earnestly.
"Big Brother Xiao, can we not boast? You don't even know what poison my dad is afflicted with, yet you say you can cure it. I'm not a child; please don't comfort me like this!"
Long Ling'Er looked at Xiao Tianyu with her beautiful eyes and continued, "Long Ao is a Core Disciple of Heaven Slayer Academy, and he's not someone you can contend with. It's fine to say these things in front of me, but please don't say them to others, okay?"
This guy trying to cheer me up doesn't need to boast like this, right? I'm already sixteen; I'm nearly an adult, okay?
"I'm serious!" Xiao Tianyu showed a look as if he wasn't lying.
Poof~
Long Ling'Er again gave a charming smile, "Yes, yes, I know you're serious!"
"..." Seeing Long Ling'Er's disbelieving look, Xiao Tianyu was quite speechless. Why doesn't this girl trust people?
A moment later, Long Ling'Er blinked her beautiful eyes, looked at Xiao Tianyu, and said, "Why am I telling you all this? Now that I've shared my history with you, shouldn't you also tell me about your history and experiences?"
"You're much luckier than I am!" Xiao Tianyu said softly, "I was expelled from my family at the age of eight, seen by my parents as the greatest failure of their lives, never receiving parental love. Moreover, my Dantian was ruined by the Qiu Family. After the age of eight, I wandered the streets alone, with no relatives. Don't you think that's much more tragic compared to you?"
Upon hearing this, Long Ling'Er blinked her beautiful eyes, "The way you say it makes it seem like it's true!"
"It is true!"
"You think I'm dumb!" Long Ling'Er gave Xiao Tianyu a sidelong glance, "I ask you, you say your Dantian was ruined, but now you can still cultivate, and I can't even compete with you!"
You got caught by me!
"That's because when my Dantian was ruined, it forged an Infinite Dantian!" Xiao Tianyu said seriously.
"Infinite Dantian?"
"Yes!"
"Psh…" Long Ling'Er waved her hand, her eyes glancing at Xiao Tianyu, "I've never heard of a situation where a ruined Dantian could still forge an Infinite Dantian. There's no such thing in the world!"
"It's because you're too young and have experienced too little!"
"Even if it's as you say, then what happened afterward?" Long Ling'Er asked, posing as if she was quietly listening to Xiao Tianyu brag.
"Later, when my cultivation was successful, I returned strongly, killed those who ruined my Dantian, and took revenge on my parents!"
"That's it?"
"That's it!"
"Nothing else?"
"Nothing else!" Xiao Tianyu replied.
And Long Ling'Er's beautiful eyes glinted, "Can you tell me what level those enemies of yours were?"
"Celestial Realm!" Xiao Tianyu said.
Poof~
Hearing this, Long Ling'Er giggled. Celestial Realm, alright, your boasting abilities have reached Refined Mastery, I am in awe. Brother Xiao, where's your face? Why don't I see you blushing when you brag?
Then, Long Ling'Er said, "Since those at the Celestial Realm are no match for you, you should have achieved great things at such a young age!"
"Yes!" Xiao Tianyu nodded, "I have accomplished great things. Three years ago, I took over Emperor Star Academy, became the first leader of Emperor Star Academy, and established Tianyu International…"
"Wait~" Long Ling'Er suddenly interrupted Xiao Tianyu, "What did you say? Tianyu International and Emperor Star Academy are both your industries?"
"Yes!" Xiao Tianyu said.
"Hahaha~" However, Long Ling'Er burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Tianyu asked.
Long Ling'Er gave Xiao Tianyu a sidelong glance, "Brother Xiao, you're invincible!"
"..." Xiao Tianyu was quite speechless. No way, telling the truth, yet this little girl doesn't believe it.
However, Long Ling'Er said, "I just enjoy quietly watching you act cool!"
This boasting really could overshadow the heavens. Yet, claiming to be the person in charge of Tianyu International and the highest ruler of Emperor Star Academy, Brother Xiao, children aren't that easy to fool.
Then, Long Ling'Er continued, "In the future, if I want to join Emperor Star Academy to cultivate, will I have to rely on you?"
"It's just a word away!"
"Fine, I concede!" Long Ling'Er shut her mouth, and after a moment, she said, "I know you're boasting, but chatting with you is really enjoyable. But are you boasting in front of me because I'm pretty and you want to win me over?"
"..."
"..."
Xiao Tianyu's eyes looked at Long Ling'Er, utterly speechless. This girl isn't just precocious; she's practically overripe, isn't she?
So Xiao Tianyu said seriously, "Little girl, are you severely lacking in love?"
"You're the one lacking love!" Long Ling'Er's beautiful eyes glared at Xiao Tianyu, like a porcelain doll, and continued, "This miss is as beautiful as a flower. The handsome guys wanting to pursue me could line up to the heavens, you know!"
"..." Xiao Tianyu fell silent. This girl is even more confident than he is.
And Long Ling'Er continued, "Do you have a girlfriend?"
"Yes!"
"Is she as beautiful as me?"
"Just a bit more beautiful than you!"
"Psh, I don't believe it!" Long Ling'Er gave Xiao Tianyu a sidelong glance, "Show me this sister-in-law one day!"
"Tomorrow night is her birthday!"
"Really? So tomorrow night, I get to see my sister-in-law?" Long Ling'Er said.
