Hearing this, Ling Luochen looked at Qiu Yuanxi. Under her expectant gaze, he said firmly, "I am willing. No matter the price I have to pay, I am willing. No matter how long it takes, as long as you are willing to wait for me, I will definitely go!"
"Good. But there are some things I must tell you first, and you must be prepared." Hearing Ling Luochen's answer, Qiu Yuanxi was very happy, but she did not forget the gap between them. She said, "My family is the number one noble family on the Canglan Continent. My parents are the head of the Qiu family and the madam. I am the fifth child in my family."
Qiu Yuanxi gave him time to react, and Ling Luochen was prepared, so he could accept it. At this moment, he also understood why Ling Luoyi had not told him about Qiu Yuanxi and her fiancé breaking off their engagement. The gap between their families was indeed too large. Even without the engagement, it would be extremely difficult for them to be together.
Qiu Yuanxi took a deep breath and said, "I have another identity. I am the Saintess of Medicine of the Human Race. I was chosen to be the Saintess of Medicine at fifteen, and it has been thirteen years since then."
"Saintess of Medicine?" Hearing this term, Ling Luochen was a little slow to react.
"Yes, that is, the person in charge of medicinal pills." Anyway, he would know all this when he reached the Canglan Continent, so there was no need to hide it. She continued, "As a Saintess, I should have lived in the Sacred Domain, just like Xiao Luo'er. However, my cultivation is not enough for me to enter the Sacred Domain, so I have always lived at home on the Canglan Continent."
Ling Luochen tried hard to digest these things that were beyond his understanding, but…
"Luo'er?" Ling Luochen had thought that Ling Luoyi's identity was not simple, but according to Qiu Yuanxi, wasn't her identity a bit too high?!
"Yes. There are a total of five Saint Sons and Saintesses in the Human Realm, and Xiao Luo'er is one of them." Seeing Ling Luochen's surprised expression, Qiu Yuanxi sighed and said, "I know these are too difficult for you to accept now, but if you are going to the Canglan Continent, you will eventually know them."
Ling Luochen had always been curious about Qiu Yuanxi's background. Now that he confirmed her background was not simple, he was not discouraged. Instead, it made him more determined. He said to Qiu Yuanxi, "Miss Qiu, please rest assured, I will definitely go to the Canglan Continent and propose to your family."
Qiu Yuanxi was worried that telling him all this might make him have second thoughts. She did not expect Ling Luochen to tell her so firmly that he would definitely go to propose. She immediately became happy and did not forget to say to Ling Luochen, "Ling Luochen, you must remember your promise to me, you must come!"
"Mm," Ling Luochen replied gently.
Receiving his response, Qiu Yuanxi withdrew the barrier and returned to her room with peace and joy. With Ling Luochen's situation settled, the next step was to break off the engagement with Lei Laosan so that he could come to her without any obstacles!
Watching Qiu Yuanxi skip away, Ling Luochen was also very happy. However, when he saw Ling Luoyi standing not far away with a solemn expression, he restrained his emotions. He slowly walked over and said, "Luo'er, I..."
"Brother, I heard everything you just said. Since you've decided to be with A Yuan, I won't stop you," Ling Luoyi said expressionlessly. "But as your sister, there are some things I must say, whether you want to hear them or not."
Ling Luochen knew what she wanted to say and that he could not escape it, so he listened carefully.
"A Yuan's engagement is not a difficult matter; you don't need to worry about that. If you want to be with her, the first thing you need to face is whether you can go to the Canglan Continent! To travel from the Ancient Spirit Continent to the Ancient Profound Continent, one must reach the Spirit King realm. And to travel from the Ancient Profound Continent to the Canglan Continent, one must at least have the cultivation of the Spirit Lord realm! This is the minimum cultivation to enter the Canglan Continent. How long will it take you to reach it?"
"I..." Ling Luochen hesitated.
"Also, this is just the qualification to enter the Canglan Continent. If you want to marry A Yuan, do you know A Yuan's fiancé's cultivation? A Yuan has told you about the cultivation level divisions, right? A Yuan is just a alchemist, and she already has the cultivation of the Spirit Ancestor realm, which shows her high talent. Not to mention that her fiancé focuses on spiritual cultivation and has even higher talent than her. Even so, Uncle Qiu and Madam Qiu barely agreed to A Yuan's marriage. What about you? A Yuan is the Saintess of Medicine, equivalent to a princess of the Human Race, and you are just a commoner. How will you marry her?"
Ling Luochen was already prepared for the disparity between them, so Ling Luoyi's words did not shake his resolve.
"Brother, I'm not saying this to stop you. I just want you to know how difficult this path is. If you have truly decided, you must be prepared. Your future with her will be very difficult, and no one can help you." Saying this, Ling Luoyi patted Ling Luochen's shoulder and said, "Brother, you must consider everything carefully and not do anything you will regret."
After speaking, Ling Luoyi turned and left, saying no more. She didn't know how the feelings between these two people came about, nor how their feelings became so deep, nor what their future would be. But let it be. She had said all she could. They were not children anymore; they should consider their own futures.
Looking at Ling Luoyi's retreating back, Ling Luochen wanted to call out to her. He had something to ask, but thinking that he knew nothing about those matters at the moment, he decided against it. According to Qiu Yuanxi, he would know some things that the lower realms were not qualified to know when he reached the Canglan Continent. He would wait until he was qualified to ask.
On Ling Luoyi's side, after talking with Ling Huayu for a while, she left the small world and walked towards the teleportation array. With less than three months until she returned to the Sacred Domain, she didn't know how busy she would be in the future. Ling Luoyi wanted to handle other matters first and then spend some quiet time with her Ling family members.
In the Heavenly Profound Domain, at the Ancient Spirit Academy, in Wen Zonglin's courtyard, Ling Luoyi sat in the hall. Wen Zonglin was not there. An elder had brought her over. With a token, she had proceeded very smoothly.
Ling Luoyi sat quietly. Outside, many disciples saw an elder taking a strange woman to the Dean's courtyard and followed out of curiosity.
"Who do you think she is? She's so beautiful, like a fairy."
"I don't know. But she looks less than twenty, yet she seems stronger than the Dean?"
"Do you think she's the Dean's youngest disciple, the eldest daughter of the Ling family, Ling Luoyi, and our future Dean?"
...
The disciples outside were discussing Ling Luoyi's arrival. The Ling family was no longer an obscure small family. They were well-established even in the Heavenly Profound Domain. The fact that Ling Luoyi was Wen Zonglin's never-before-seen youngest disciple had also spread. Some were surprised, while others expected it.
Seeing his academy disciples being so impolite, the elder felt a bit awkward and said, "Miss Ling, these disciples are usually not like this. They are excited to see you today, so..."
"It's alright," Ling Luoyi smiled indifferently.
The elder then expressed his admiration for Ling Luoyi. As far as he knew, Ling Luoyi was less than twenty years old, but she was much more composed than her peers. Moreover, she was a ninth-grade alchemist with unfathomable cultivation.
After saying two words, Ling Luoyi stopped talking. The elder didn't know what else to say, and the room fell silent.
Ling Luoyi waited for a while and finally heard Wen Zonglin's laughter from outside. It seemed there was someone else with him.
"You all thought I was sick, didn't you? Now my youngest disciple is here. Go and see if what I said is true?"
