"Peng, peng, peng, peng!" It was at that very moment that an urgent knocking was heard from the door.

Ling Han walked over and opened the door only to see a boy servant. He had already commanded that, if there was no urgent business, he was not to be disturbed; thus, he asked, "What happened?"

"The Clan Head has returned!" The boy servant hurriedly said.

Excitement instantly rose within Ling Han's body, pressing him to meet with that man; this was an instinctive reaction of the body.

"Father..." he murmured. He had inherited this body, and had also inherited the blood and responsibility that belonged to this body.

He turned and smiled at Liu Yu Tong, saying, "Yu Tong, come with me to meet my father."

A red blush immediately flew upon Liu Yu Tong's beautiful face. She felt as if she was a daughter-in-law going to meet with her parents-in-law. 'Pei!' She hurriedly spat in her heart a few times—why would she have this kind of feeling? There was nothing going on between herself and this guy!

"Where is Father?" Ling Han asked the boy servant.

"In the Main Hall."

Ling Han headed towards the Main Hall, and the pace of his steps increased from walking to running; there was a powerful longing in his heart. The moment he barged into the living hall, he saw a man of about forty years old, standing there proudly. He had a tall, broad figure, a handsome face, and exuded a powerful aura.

At that moment, Ling Han could not longer differentiate whether it was the instinctive reaction of the body, or the fact that he was an orphan in his last life and so thirsted for familial love. His eyes could not help growing wet, and the blood relation running through his veins caused him to easily call out, "Father!"

"Han'er!" Ling Dong Xing laughed heartily and quickly walked over to embrace Ling Han. However, he immediately put on a shocked expression and said, "Why are you still in the clan residence, aren't you supposed to have gone to Hu Yang Academy?"

This was fatherly love, this was fatherly love!

Ling Han greedily enjoyed the embrace of his father. Although in his last life, someone with Ling Dong Xing's cultivation level was not even qualified to enter his eyes, now he was shaken to the point that his eyes were brimming with tears. He had finally cast aside the identity of his last life to enjoy his new life.

He was no longer a loner without any family. He had a father, a good father who would risk his own life for him!

He rubbed at the corners of his eyes, shook his head and said, "I don't want to go to Hu Yang Academy."

"Why?" Ling Dong Xing asked. He knew that the quality of his only son's Spirit Base was too poor. Even though he had expended various efforts, his cultivation still did not make any progress; this was something that could not be helped. And he too had worked very hard to send Ling Han to Hu Yang Academy, which was to make use of the various immeasurable resources on hand at Hu Yang Academy to forcibly raise Ling Han's cultivation level to Element Gathering Tier. Only with that could he die without regrets.

But Ling Han actually said he did not want to go to Hu Yang Academy! This caused his anger to rise—there was no helping being born with poor talent, but if there was not even a tiny bit of desire to improve oneself, then there really was no cure!

Ling Han naturally couldn't say that he had been a warrior of the Heaven Tier in his last life and there were countless high-level cultivation techniques and martial skills stored within his head, or that he had obtained the Indestructible Heaven Scroll that required him to spend ten thousand years just to comprehend the first layer. Even if he went to Hu Yang Academy, what was he supposed to learn?
