"Uncle Ye, I want to go out for a stroll!" Ye Xing suddenly said.
Uncle Ye was taken aback and immediately replied, "Young Master, your current strength is too weak. It's best to stay in the mansion!"
"I understand, but don't worry, I'll just walk around nearby. We can talk about it after my cultivation improves a bit!" Ye Xing explained calmly.
Hearing Ye Xing's words, Uncle Ye could only nod and say, "Alright, then you must be very careful!"
"Mm! I will be careful!" Ye Xing nodded and then turned to leave.
Yun Ling, Yun Aotian, and Ye Xing returned to their rooms. Yun Ling sat on a chair and closed her eyes to rest.
"Ling'er, we're going to rest first!" Yun Aotian walked over and said.
Yun Ling slowly opened her eyes and looked at Yun Aotian. "Father, how is Mother's health now?"
"Don't worry, she's fine! Let's rest first!" Yun Aotian patted Yun Ling's shoulder, signaling her to cultivate with peace of mind.
"Okay!" Yun Ling nodded, then lay down on the bed and closed her eyes to begin cultivating.
The next morning, when Yun Ling woke up, she heard a commotion outside her room.
Yun Ling quickly got out of her room and went to the living room where she was staying.
"Ling'er, you're awake, come and eat breakfast quickly!" As soon as Yun Ling stepped out the door, Ye Chen's voice rang out.
Looking at Yun Ling, a hint of joy appeared in Ye Chen's eyes.
"Mm, Father, I know. Please sit for a moment!" Yun Ling nodded slightly and said to Ye Chen.
Yun Ling walked to the table, sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and began to eat breakfast.
Yun Ling noticed that Yun Aotian and Ye Xing had not arrived yet and asked doubtfully, "Why aren't Father and Uncle Ye here yet?"
"They probably won't make it in time. Ling'er, after you finish breakfast, I'll take you somewhere you might be interested in!" Ye Chen's lips curved into a slight arc as he spoke.
Yun Ling looked at Ye Chen's smile and guessed that the place he mentioned must be related to what she had seen yesterday, so she asked, "Where?"
"You'll know after you finish eating!" Ye Chen smiled mysteriously and said nothing more.
Since Ye Chen didn't say anything, Yun Ling didn't press further.
Ye Chen and Yun Ling were eating breakfast on one side, while Yun Ling's mother was also called over.
"Ling'er, I've brewed some nourishing soup for you. Drink it while it's hot!" Madam Xu said with a smile, holding a tray.
Yun Aotian and Ye Xing heard this and also walked over.
"Thank you, Mother!" Yun Ling took the bowl handed by Madam Xu and drank the soup in one gulp.
"Drink slowly, no one is snatching it from you!" Yun Aotian quickly said, seeing Yun Ling gulping down the soup.
After finishing the soup, Yun Ling wiped the corner of her mouth and said with a smile, "Father, Mother, you all eat, don't mind me!"
Ye Xing and Yun Aotian sat down and began to eat breakfast.
Yun Ling looked at the two of them and a strange smile played on her lips. She said, "Father, Mother, are you finished eating?"
Yun Aotian and Ye Xing looked up at Yun Ling and nodded. "Almost. Ling'er, what do you want to do?"
"Nothing much, I just want to take you somewhere!" Yun Ling said with a mysterious smile.
"Oh?" Yun Aotian and Ye Xing exchanged a glance and then followed Yun Ling out.
Along the way, Yun Ling led Yun Aotian and Ye Xing straight to a forest outside the city.
"Father, Uncle Ye, follow me!" Yun Ling led them to a large tree and pointed at it, saying, "It's this big tree!"
Upon seeing the giant tree, Yun Aotian and Ye Xing were both shocked and secretly wondered what kind of tree it was to be so enormous.
"I discovered this big tree during one of my travels!" Yun Ling told Yun Aotian and Ye Xing.
"Is there anything special about this tree?" Ye Xing asked curiously.
"This tree is a magical plant that can aid in cultivation, and its leaves are medicinal herbs of a healing nature!" Yun Ling introduced calmly.
Ye Xing and Yun Aotian exchanged a look, their eyes filled with disbelief. They never expected such an ordinary-looking tree to be so extraordinary.
"Ling'er, where did you find it?" Yun Aotian couldn't help but ask.
"Father, Uncle Ye, this tree is actually the same plant we encountered before!" Yun Ling said with a smile.
"What? This tree is that plant from before?" Yun Aotian's eyes widened in shock upon hearing Yun Ling's words. "Ling'er, how did you recognize this plant?"
"I just saw it on the road!" Yun Ling replied calmly.
Ye Xing also asked with confusion, "Ling'er, why would this plant be here? Is it in the deepest part of the forest?"
Both Yun Aotian and Ye Xing wanted to know how this tree ended up in the deepest part of the forest, near Ling'er's mother.
A faint smile appeared on Yun Ling's lips. "Father, Uncle Ye, to be honest, I was also very curious about this tree. But this tree remained motionless, like a sculpture, so I thought about digging it up to take a look, but I failed!"
Ye Xing and Yun Aotian were slightly stunned upon hearing Yun Ling's words, surprised that she would do something so foolish.
"Ling'er, you can't act rashly! If you damaged it, wouldn't it be a waste? Such a valuable medicinal ingredient!" Ye Xing quickly said.
There was a hint of reprimand in Ye Xing's tone.
"Heh, it's alright! I think if I damaged this tree, it wouldn't be a great loss!" Yun Ling smiled faintly.
"This tree is a treasure, not an ordinary plant! You actually tried to destroy it so roughly, it's simply preposterous!" Ye Xing said indignantly.
"Uncle Ye, don't be angry!" Yun Ling pouted her red lips slightly and looked at Ye Xing with a coquettish expression. "Uncle Ye, please don't be angry. I just thought this tree was very strange, so I couldn't help but want to figure it out!"
"You really are... alas..." Ye Xing shook his head helplessly.
Seeing Ye Xing's look of disappointment, Yun Ling quickly said, "Uncle Ye, I promise I won't be so reckless in the future. Don't ignore me!"
Ye Xing's face was covered in dark lines, and he felt extremely helpless in his heart. "Ling'er, I'm not angry with you, why are you so nervous!"
"Heh, it's good that you're not angry!" Yun Ling said with a smile. "By the way, Uncle Ye, later you and I will go to the palace. I have something important to tell you!"
"What is it?" Ye Xing asked curiously.
"This matter is quite secret. You and Father go and prepare!" Yun Ling said mysteriously.
"Mm!" Ye Xing nodded and left with Yun Aotian.
Yun Ling led Yun Aotian and Ye Xing all the way to the palace. It was Yun Aotian's first time entering the inner palace.
It was also Ye Xing's first time in the palace, and his heart was filled with excitement.
