Translator: _Dark_Angel_ Editor: Kurisu

"Father, I will definitely not disappoint you! I will only make you proud of me!" Ling Han said.

"Good! Good! Good! You truly are my, Ling Dong Xing's, son!" Ling Dong Xing too was excited to the point of shedding tears; although he did not know what kind of fateful encounter Ling Han had obtained, the present him could only feel joyful, excited and delighted! He wanted nothing more than to announce to the whole world that his son, Ling Dong Xing's son, was not a piece of trash!

Liu Yu Tong looked at this scene and, for some reason, the corners of her eyes felt slightly wet.

"Father, I would like to discuss something with you!" Ling Han pulled Ling Dong Xing to a corner of their courtyard, and let Liu Yu Tong go to rest first. There were some words that could only be said to his father and, after all, Liu Yu Tong had not yet obtained his true approval and trust.

"What kind of matter is it for you to be so mysterious about it?" Ling Dong Xing asked with a smile and a bit of curiosity. He was curious what the words that could not even be heard by Liu Yu Tong could be—he naturally thought that Ling Han and Liu Yu Tong were already a couple.

Ling Han said, "Father, let me look at your Spirit Base."

One could actually view the Spirit Base using a special means, but for those in the Element Gathering Tier, they could directly project an image of their Spirit Base without having to resort to any supporting method.

Ling Dong Xing could not help frowning, before saying, "Why?"

"I would like to find a cultivation technique that best suits you, taking into consideration your Spirit Base," Ling Han said.

Ling Dong Xing could not help being secretly speechless, how many cultivation techniques had this son of his gotten his hands on to actually be able to choose a cultivation technique best suited to the individual according to their type of Spirit Base? If he had not just witnessed Ling Han's miracle, he would not believe his words one bit.

He shook his head, yet did not say a single word.

"Father?" When Ling Han looked at Ling Dong Xing, he realized there seemed to be some kind of hidden story.

Ling Dong Xing exhaled a sigh and said, "No matter what the cultivation technique is, it's useless. My Spirit Base is already destroyed."

"What!" Ling Han called softly, but very soon, an enraged expression slipped onto his face, "Who did it?"

Ling Dong Xing was a warrior of the Element Gathering Tier, so there was no way that his Spirit Base had been disabled from the start. Thus, the logical conclusion was that it had been crippled by someone else.

Ling Han was someone who would cover the shortcomings of his own people, moreover this was his own father, so naturally he would be seething in anger.

"This matter.... is related to your mother," Ling Dong Xing sighed, and his face revealed a flash of tenderness, though there also seemed to be remorse and wrath mixed with it. To put it shortly, it was an extremely complicated expression.

"Mother?" Ling Han murmured. According to this body's memories, Ling Dong Xing had never once mentioned anything about his mother to him. Every time he asked about his mother, Ling Dong Xing would immediately change the subject. The only thing he knew was that, not long after his birth, his mother had passed away.

"In the past, I thought that the issue about your mother would forever be buried within the depths of my heart, but now-" Ling Dong Xing paused. "Han'er, if you can achieve Element Gathering Tier within three years' time, then I shall tell you about your mother."
