Chapter 106 A New Family
Lan Yin, who was now being carried by Ling Tian, raised her arms in the air, amusing herself and waving her hands to pass them through the clouds. A pure, happy smile could be seen on her face.
"Uhm! Once I refine your own sword and you advance several more stages, you\'ll be able to fly through the clouds!" Ling Tian smiled, promising that once she reached at least Stage Four of Chi Gathering, he could teach her to fly with her own sword.
"En!" Lan Yin nodded happily, waiting for the moment when she can fly freely among the clouds with her Master.
Ling Tian smiled at her and they were quickly home.
"I am back!" Ling Tian spoke with a somewhat loud voice to warn of their arrival.
"Big brother!"
An emotional, feminine scream was heard as a tender figure flew swiftly into the hall.
Mu Shuiruo, as always, was the first to run out as soon as she heard Ling Tian\'s voice.
"Eh?" Mu Shuiruo stopped short in surprise when she saw Ling Tian holding the tiny hand of a little girl.
"Brother Tian, you came back..."
Just as Mu Shuiruo was about to say something, Mu Shen entered the hall. He too did not finish speaking when he saw Lan Yin holding hands with Ling Tian.
It seemed as if they were father-daughter.
"Haha, why those faces? Let me introduce you to her. She is Yinyin." Ling Tian observed the reaction of both siblings and decided to speak first.
Lan Yin had hidden behind Ling Tian, fearful of being with more people. Although she trusted Ling Tian, it didn\'t mean she would trust everyone else. So when she saw new people who would be her bigger siblings that her Master told her, she was still a little nervous.
"Yinyin, don\'t be afraid, they won\'t do anything bad to you. They\'re good people too and will take care of you and love you like I do you." Ling Tian knew that she was traumatized, so he spoke to her patiently and lovingly, trying to get her to overcome her fears.
Lan Yin nodded a little hesitantly.
Taking a few steps forward, Yinyin looked at her future bigger siblings and tried to finally show a shy smile: "I-I\'m Lan Yin, you can call me Yinyin..."
Mu Shen and Mu Shuiruo watched Lan Yin, who nervously introduced herself and immediately they turned to Ling Tian, as if to ask him what this was. Ling Tian only smiled at them.
"Oh, Lan Yin is a nice name, just like Yinyin." Mu Shen was the first to emerge from his daze and flashed a smile at Lan Yin. He was amazed that such a beautiful child could exist, as if she were a little angel from heaven.
"Yinyin you are as pretty as a beautiful flower." Mu Shuiruo smiled. She liked Lan Yin. She looked like a lovely crystal doll.
Lan Yin smiled happily, as the nervousness and fear in her heart began to fade.
"Wow, big sister, you are so beautiful!" Once Lan Yin\'s nervousness disappeared, her mind cleared and she could observe these bigger siblings well.
When she observed Mu Shuiruo, even Lan Yin opened her eyes in surprise and sincerely expressed what she thought. She had never seen such a beautiful big sister.
Mu Shuiruo smiled happily at Lan Yin\'s comment: "Hehe, thank you little sister, but you are more beautiful than me!" Mu Shuiruo took Lan Yin\'s little hand.
Lan Yin had been a bit frightened by the sudden touch, but watching the sincere smile this big sister gave her, she relaxed and let her hand be held.
"No! Big sister you are more beautiful than me! Right, Master?" Lan Yin turned to see Ling Tian.
Master?
Mu Shuiruo and Mu Shen wondered when they heard Lan Yin refer to Ling Tian as her Master.
"Both of you are so beautiful that there is no comparison." Ling Tian patted Lan Yin\'s head lovingly.
Lan Yin closed her eyes in happiness as she felt Ling Tian\'s caress. She never had anyone who was affectionate or loving with her, so she felt happy and comfortable when Ling Tian was spoiling her.
Mu Shuiruo blushed at Ling Tian\'s comment. Her heart could not help but feel sweet.
"Brother Tian, are you Yinyin\'s Master?" Mu Shen, asked Ling Tian what doubt he had in his mind.
"Yes, Yinyin is my disciple and I will teach her many things. She had no family and, the place where she was staying was abused and she could hardly eat, so I decided to take her away and take better care of her. I hope you don\'t mind that there is another guest in the home, hehe..." Ling Tian touched his nose, hoping that there would be no problem with Lan Yin staying with them.
"Haha, not at all, brother. Yinyin is welcome to stay and we will take care of her. We\'ll be her family too. Yinyin, this is your new home and we\'ll take care of you and love you very much too!" Mu Shen smiled and did not mind having someone else in his house.
Knowing that Lan Yin was a little girl who must have suffered a great deal, he promised her that they would be her family and do many things together, such as playing and being together.
Mu Shuiruo smiled happily as well. She would have a little sister, it seemed.
"Well, little one, go to sleep, tomorrow you\'ll get up early for breakfast and we\'ll go on with what I taught you." Ling Tian patted Lan Yin\'s head, telling her she had to sleep. He had already given Lan Yin a lot of food today, so she was no longer hungry. Now she had to rest properly like a normal child.
"Mmm, it\'s okay, Master." Lan Yin hesitated to say anything, but she nodded at once.
"Yinyin, I will show you your room. It will be next to your Master." Mu Shuiruo took Lan Yin to a new room. Lan Yin\'s room would be between her and Ling Tian\'s room.
"Brother Tian, what things will you teach Yinyin?" Mu Shen couldn\'t stand it anymore and asked Ling Tian.
"Some things for her to be strong like me." Ling Tian explained no more and just smiled at him.
Mu Shen was surprised at what Ling Tian said.
Will he teach Lan Yin to be strong like him?
Recalling what he had thought of the day, Mu Shen said, "Brother, could you teach me too? And since you will teach the goddess, Long Yuyin, you could also train me in passing. That way, I can be stronger when facing those demon beasts."
Mu Shen took him by the shoulder and stared at him. His gaze was full of expectation, hoping that Ling Tian would accept.
Ling Tian smiled bitterly as he remembered Long Yuyin. Now there was another problem.
If she knew that Lan Yin would be his disciple, Long Yuyin would cling to him and not leave him alone until he accepted to be her Master.
\'Well, I can teach Long Yuyin, Mu Shen and Tang Jingtian some ordinary mortal techniques so that they can increase their strength in a short time...\' Ling Tian thought and decided to teach some techniques to them. Maybe later he will teach them about cultivation.
"Well, well, that\'s fine. Tomorrow morning we\'ll train."Ling Tian promised Mu Shen, who still held his shoulder firmly.
"Haha, thank you brother!" Mu Shen felt a stone rise from his body and smiled brightly, hoping that the next day would come quickly.
Ling Tian said goodbye and went to his room.
He was going to cultivate for a few hours. Although he knew that it would not have such an effect, the custom of cultivating for thousands of years was still deeply rooted in him, so he would always cultive for a couple of hours at least before going to sleep.
