Hearing that, Ye Jing's expression became sad, but she suddenly heard Ling Ling ask Yi Mingxia. "Who is she, mom? Is she Yun'er's lover?"
"Huh?" Ye Jing stood frozen in place and stared at Ling Ling in amazement. She felt she had never seen a woman as beautiful as her before, and her pinkish-white hair made her even more beautiful. Before long, she came back to her senses and asked in confusion, especially since she only knew that Ling Yun was Yi Mingxia's only child. "Who is she, Aunt Mingxia? Why does she call you mother?"
Yi Mingxia explained it to her. "She is my daughter, Ling Ling, and she is Yun'er's big sister."
"Eh?" Ye Jing was really surprised to hear that; she never knew that Yi Mingxia had a daughter, because for so many years she had only lived with Ling Yun alone. "But how-"
"Long story short, after I divorced their father, Ling'er lived with my ex-husband, but he sent her overseas for years, and we only reunited about a month ago." Yi Mingxia then introduced her to her daughter. "Her name is Ye Jing; she is Yun'er's childhood friend, and they have grown up together since childhood."
"I see." Ling Ling nodded in understanding and looked up and down at Ye Jing before taking her hand and smiling. "Nice to meet you, Jing'er. Yun'er is truly lucky to have a friend as beautiful as you."
"Pleased to meet you." Ye Jing shook Ling Ling's hand. "But you yourself are much prettier than me, and your pinkish-white hair is also very beautiful, Big Sis Ling."
"This is all thanks to Yun'er; I would not have become like this without his help." Ling Ling said with a mysterious smile as she withdrew her hand.
Ye Jing stared at Ling Ling in confusion. She did not understand how Ling Yun could make her so beautiful.
Ling Ling then asked. "Are you in love with him, Jing'er?"
"Eh?" Ye Jing then lowered her head sadly and answered in a low voice. "I do love Yun, but he already rejected me once."
Ling Ling was surprised to hear that; she didn't expect that Ling Yun would reject a woman as beautiful as Ye Jing, and she then looked at her mother as she remembered about his Oedipus complex. 'Sigh, poor Jing'er. Yun'er is only attracted to mature women like Mom, and that's because of his syndrome.'
Yi Mingxia then rubbed Ye Jing's head. She had known for a long time about her son's rejection of her; she then asked her to sit on the sofa. "Do you still love Yun'er?"
"En, I have always loved him, Aunt Mingxia." Ye Jing replied with a nod as she sat beside Yi Mingxia. "I will never give up on my feelings for him, and I will make him accept me one day."
Ling Ling smiled upon hearing that, and she then sat in front of them while keeping her eyes on Ye Jing. 'She loves Yun'er wholeheartedly, and she is very worthy to be a member of his harem, but it's not easy for her to make him fall in love with her. Even if she manages to do it, I'm not sure that she can accept his relationship with all of us.'
Yi Mingxia herself very fond of Ye Jing, and she also hopes that her son is willing to accept her. "Jing'er, Yun'er's current situation is completely different from before; I don't know whether you can accept it or not. He-"
"Mom." Ling Ling stopped her mother by shaking her head; she felt that it was not yet time to tell Ye Jing the truth. Moreover, it was wrong for them to tell her the truth, and she thought it would be better if Ling Yun told her himself.
"What do you mean by that, Aunt Mingxia?" Ye Jing asked with a raised eyebrow, and she had a bad feeling seeing them like that. "He-"
*Tap... Tap...*
Ye Jing had not finished speaking when she heard someone walking towards them, and she immediately turned her head towards the person.
Ye Jing was instantly mesmerized when she saw Lian Bing; even though her expression looked like a block of ice and the aura from her body was also extremely cold, her beauty was truly otherworldly. In addition, her appearance in a light blue dress is absolutely dazzling. 'Who's she? How can she be so beautiful? She is even prettier than Big Sis Ling, but she is like an ice goddess.'
Lian Bing didn't say anything, she could feel something strong from within Ye Jing's body, and she then used her senses to observe her body. Moments later, she withdrew her senses and asked. "Do you want to be my disciple, little girl?"
Not only Ye Jing, but even Yi Mingxia and Ling Ling were surprised to hear her question.
Ling Ling knew that Liang Bing had never wanted to take other disciples, but now she had actually offered Ye Jing to be her disciple.
Meanwhile, Yi Mingxia was elated to hear that, and she wanted Ye Jing to become a cultivator like them.
"Disciple? What does that mean?" Ye Jing asked as she continued to stare at Lian Bing in curiosity and confusion.
Ling Ling immediately got up from her seat and approached Lian Bing; she then hugged her arm and asked via voice transmission. 'Do you really want to take her as your disciple, Sister Bing?'
'She has water spiritual veins, Ling'er.' Ling Ling was surprised to hear that, and Lian Bing continued. 'Even though our sect is an ice sect, we once had an ancestor who possessed the water element, and she was extremely strong. Unfortunately, she perished when she tried to break through to the Saint Realm, and since then there have been no more water element possessors in our sect. Moreover, she has already left behind all her techniques in our sect, and this girl is very suitable to be her successor.'
'Hmm? If Jing'er becomes a cultivator, and Yun'er is willing to accept her as his woman, then she will be able to help him later." Ling Ling muttered in her heart as she continued to stare at Ye Jing.
Seeing them fall silent, Ye Jing asked again. "What do you mean by me being your disciple?"
"Be my disciple in the truest sense of the word." Lian Bing then stretched out her hand, and Ye Jing's eyes widened when she saw a small ice sculpture appear in her hand. "As you can see, I am no ordinary person, but I am a cultivator."
"Huh!?" Ye Jing was shocked to hear that; she immediately stood up and walked towards Lian Bing, and she then touched the ice sculpture with her hand. "I only know about cultivators from Yun; that's because he likes to read novels about cultivators and the like, but I didn't expect that cultivators were real."
"Jing'er, cultivators are real." Ling Ling said with a giggle, and she also stretched out her hand, only that her ice was different from Lian Bing's. "Me and my mother are also cultivators, and Sister Bing is my master."
"Is Yun also a cultivator?" Even though Ye Jing asked that, she was sure that Ling Yun was also like them.
Yi Mingxia then answered her. "Yun'er is also a cultivator, but he is different from other cultivators, Jing'er."
"What do you mean by saying he is different from them, Aunt Mingxia?" Ye Jing asked as she turned to Yi Mingxia.
Ling Ling shook her head and took Ye Jing's hand in hers. "You don't need to think about that for now, Jing'er. If you really love Yun'er, you better accept Sister Bing's offer to become her disciple; that way you can be with him in the future."
Hearing that, Ye Jing decided without the slightest hesitation. "Well, as long as I can be with Yun in the future, I am willing to become your disciple."
Yi Mingxia and Ling Ling smiled contentedly at Ye Jing's answer. Lian Bing then took their hands and said. "Mingxia, I'll take them somewhere else first."
"All right." After Yi Mingxia nodded in agreement, Lian Bing immediately took Ling Ling and Ye Jing to another place.
