Ling Wei, doubting his predictions, asked Li Bing to examine Hong An more closely.

Li Bing sent out a strand of her spiritual essence into Hong An's petite body, while Ling Wei had still faced slight resistance, Li Bing's action had gone completely unnoticed, one would not even know that Li Bing had been using the Golden Spiritual Technique, except.

Li Bing had a slight frown on her face, an incredible rarity, as Li Bing always maintained absolute calmness regardless of any situation.

Li Bing subtracted her Spiritual Essence, and her frown slowly dissipates, after some moments of consideration, she ultimately made a decision.

"We're going back". Li Bing stated with the same cold tone as always.

Ling Wei, however, realising this would end his time in the Island of Mortals, wanted to object, but sensing the severity she based for her decision, remained silent.

Li Bing took off a hairpin ornament from her hair, leaving the bun to fall down like water, her black hair absorbed the sunlight seemingly like a void.

The hairpin, transformed into a simple sword, a simple handle and dull sheen on the sword, it seems like it was brought from a common blacksmith, and is true indeed, during the time when Li Bing had yet to regain Ling Kuanguang had saved up all his silvers in order to purchase Li Bing a weapon for her to defend herself after she was nearly assaulted during an errand, at that time, Ling Kuanguang had been planning to join the Red River Sect, and had no weapons, and had brought her a weapon instead for himself.

After she regained her memories, it was one of the few keepsakes she had her time in the lower realms and had become incredibly powerful under its proximity to a Li Bing, who was a Dao Seeking cultivator, by now, the weapon has become unparalleled.

Due to the weapons dull feature, many cultivators had been curious about the origin of this weapon, but Li Bing had never answered, and simply addressed it as 'his sword'.

With a flick of her fingers, Li Bing opened a portal and stepped inside.

Hong An, during this time, had remained obedient facing the mother and son pair, due to her trusting and ignorant nature, had never doubted anyone, except for feeling a slight sense of discomfort when Ling Wei had used Spiritual Manipulation, always had an obedient expression.

Hong An, being still young, had always relied on others aid her while walking, stretching her arms toward Ling Wei, she had intended Ling Wei to lead her.

Ling Wei had noticed her action, but did not understand her intentions and simply remained still, and motion Hong An to go before him, he as raised but his parents in the previous world, had been taught to be gentlemanly and always open the door, considering the situation, he had done the same towards Hong An.

Naturally, both of them are unaware of the other's intentions, and simply stood silently for the time it took to burn a stick of incense, afterwards, Ling Wei just simply motioned his hand and manipulated Hong An to enter the portal, and then entered it himself, closing it after his silhouette disappear.

As he entered the garden, upon stepping out of the portal, a flush of spiritual essence entered his body, as he noticed Hong An with a painful expression, he eventually held her hand, reconducting the majority of the spiritual essence into himself, while maintaining enough for Hong An to progress in her cultivation.

Ling Wei scanned the nearby area, and could not see Li Bing, judging that Li Bing is likely searching for his father, he remained in place, hand in hand with Hong An.

Hong An, however, never felt pain from the abundance of spiritual essence, but instead that Ling Wei had not held her hand, from her underdeveloped thinking, she had judged herself as doing something wrong, as the elders had not interacted with her after she failed her baptism for months.

As Ling Wei held her hands, she felt a sense of relief, and her painful expression became much lighter, and her eyes once again lit up, and a wide grin appeared on her face.

Her expression looked innocent and lively, and as a two-year-old child, naturally gave people a desire to spoil her.

The realm created by Ling Kuanguang had no name and is simply called the residence but those living in it, except for his immediate family, his wives and Ling Wei, along with a number of demonic beasts, no one had entered the residence. Hong An would be the only one to have entered the realm as a foreign cultivator.

More than 5 hours passed and Ling Wei remained standing but had noticed Hong An's legs have become weak after standing, leading Hong An to an artificial mountain, he eyed the smooth surface, and detecting it is sufficient to be sat on by Hong An, invited her to sit down.

Hong An understood this motion and sat down hurriedly, and showed no regards for the rock she was sitting on. The rock was made of Phoenix Egg Shells, a material gained after the rebirth of a phoenix, to gather enough as to make an artificial mountain is unheard of, but considering that the residence is the home of the Empress of Phoenix, it could still be considered rather acceptable.

Hong An forward a smile towards Ling Wei as a gesture of thanks, and he made an effort to smile as well, the five and two-year-old children smiling at each have a unique sense of charm, and considering the natural cuteness of the two, any passerby would have their heart full of sweetness.

The warm atmosphere lasted until Ling Wei had sensed the presence of his father, and turned his head towards Ling Kuanguang's location.

There a devilish looking youth stood, wearing a black robe, with long, unrestrained hair, a pale complexion, yet not looking sick, standing as straight as a pencil, with his hands behind his back, he gives off a natural sense of haughtiness, standing next to him was Li Bing, who was giving off a much warmer aura.
