As soon as they landed in front of them, Ling Yun immediately made his move, and he strangled Situ Liang's neck.
"Ling Yun!"
"Husband!"
Seeing that, Situ Luan and her family shouted in shock at him, but Lian Bing immediately stopped them, especially since she also noticed Situ Liang's hostile aura towards Ling Yun. "You guys should not stop him."
"But-"
"You guys can rest assured; I'm sure my husband won't kill an ignorant kid like him." Zhang Xingcai also said to them.
Situ Luan then turned to his family, and Situ Bo nodded at her. "Luan'er, you should entrust this matter to your husband."
"All right."
"Ugh! Bastard! Let go of me!" Situ Liang laboriously said as he tried to remove Ling Yun's hand from his neck, but of course it was impossible for him to do so.
Situ Liang's face became even redder as soon as he strangled his neck tightly, and Ling Yun coldly spoke. "Honestly, I want to kill you, but I don't want to hurt Luan'er's feelings because you're her little brother. I rescued you from those vile whores, yet you are hostile towards me now. I don't care that you were already intimate with her, but she is my wife now, so you better put her out of your mind, or I will send you to the afterlife right away."
"Guah!" Situ Liang instantly groaned in pain as soon as Ling Yun slammed him onto the ground so hard, which caused his body to be in extreme pain.
Seeing that, Situ Luan breathed a sigh of relief and walked next to Ling Yun, and she then hugged him. "Thank you for not killing Liang'er."
"It's okay." Ling Yun answered as he hugged Situ Luan back, and he then asked her family. "What's your decision?"
Nie Shuang answered him directly. "Even though we find it hard to part with Luan'er, we have decided to stay behind, so please look after her and make her happy. However, if you have time, I hope you can bring him to visit us again on this planet."
"Luan'er is my wife; I will definitely take care of her and make her happy." Since Ling Yun himself was not very close to them, and they had already decided that way, he had no intention of persuading them. "Anyway, I'll definitely bring her back here to visit you all, but you guys will have to wait quite a while."
"We understand about that, so you don't need to worry about it, and we will continue to wait for you guys to visit us again." Situ Han replied as he hugged his wife, who looked sad to let their daughter go with Ling Yun.
Situ Luan then asked them with a sad look. "Do you guys really not want to go with us? I would definitely miss you all if you weren't by my side."
"Luan'er, you are married now, and a wife should follow her husband." Miao Miao answered her granddaughter. "As for us, we are used to life on this planet, and we find it difficult to start a new life in the higher realms, so we will continue to live here."
"Miao is right, Luan'er." Jie Xiaoru also spoke to him. "While you are away, we will also cultivate harder. So when you return to this place in the future, we will still be here to welcome you."
Situ Luan sighed in her heart after listening to their words, especially since she had tried so hard to persuade them to join them, but they kept rejecting her requests. She then hugged them one by one as she sobbed, especially when she hugged her mother, and her sobs became louder.
Nie Shuang herself also sobbed as she hugged her beloved daughter. "You can go with your husband, and we will meet again in the future."
"En." Situ Luan nodded to him. "We will definitely meet again in the future, Mother."
After a while, Situ Han carried his son on his shoulders, and they immediately flew away, leaving the peak cultivator again, but Situ Liang kept glancing at Ling Yun with hostility.
On the other hand, Nie Shuang kept turning to her daughter, and she shouted at her. "Luan'er, take good care of yourself; we will definitely miss you very much."
"I will!" Situ Luan responded with a shout as she continued to wave her hands at them, and tears continued to flow from the corners of her eyes.
Ling Yun sighed softly, walked behind Situ Luan, and hugged her from behind. "Don't worry, you will definitely meet them again in the future."
"En." Situ Luan leaned her body against his chest and wiped her tears.
"Master!"
Suddenly, Li Fan and Li Na shouted as soon as they saw the five people who had just landed in front of them. They immediately ran to hug the old woman, who was standing behind the other four.
"Haha." The old woman was none other than their master, Wu Yun, and she immediately hugged them back as she laughed softly. "I feel happy for you two; you don't have to lie to your mother anymore. However, I didn't expect that you two would leave me so soon after we were together for so long, and I will definitely miss you both very much."
"En." Li Na rubbed her face against Wu Yun's chest and spoke to her. "Master, I will miss you too, so you must continue to take good care of yourself, and I will come to visit you in the future."
Unlike her sister, Li Fan seemed sad to part with Wu Yun; he immediately knelt and kowtowed to her. "Master, please forgive us because we took a sudden decision without discussing it with you first, but we couldn't leave our mother alone, or she would get depressed again, so we had to make this decision."
Hearing her son's words, Yang Xiaoyi pouted her lips in annoyance, making Su Fei and the others laugh at her behavior.
"You don't need to apologize to me, Fan'er." Wu Yun said as she lifted Li Fan to his feet. "Even though I don't know your mother, I can understand her condition based on your past stories, so I don't blame you guys. Moreover, we are cultivators, and our goal is to live longer and become stronger, so going to higher realms is the best opportunity for you. As for me, I'm too old now, and I won't be able to adapt to the harshness of life there."
"Master!" Li Fan and Li Na screamed and hugged Wu Yun again.
Yang Xiaoyi then walked up to them and said to Wu Yun. "Old lady, thank you for teaching my two children many things, and also thank you for caring and loving them so much."
"You don't need to thank me, little girl." Wu Yun answered as he rubbed their heads. "I took them as my disciples because I felt a different feeling towards them, and their presence made me very happy over the past years, so I already considered them like my own grandchildren. However, they are talented children, and their future is still very long, so I will let them go to pursue their dreams."
Her words made Yang Xiaoyi deeply touched; she then hugged them. "Thank you, Old Lady."
Wu Yun just smiled and hugged Yang Xiaoyi as well, but she then turned to Ling Yun and spoke to him. "Please take good care of them, especially Na'er. You may not know it, but she has loved you for a long time, and she is very happy whenever she talks about you."
"I know; you don't need to worry about them, Senior." Ling Yun then turned to Qin Shuang, but Yi Shu continued to look at him with a look full of questions, especially since she never knew about her husband's relationship with her juniors. "Like Su Fei and the others, I have known them for many years."
"I see." Yi Shu nodded in understanding, and she immediately told him. "Anyway, my master decided to go to the higher realms with us, and my grandmaster will take over her position temporarily."
Ling Yun was surprised to hear that, and Qin Shuang said to him, "Even so, I will immediately go wandering after we arrive in the higher realms; only then will I be able to find answers to all my questions about the depth of cultivation, and I will become stronger by facing those tough challenges."
"En" Ling Yun nodded in agreement with that. "However, you must think about Shu's feelings, and you have to take good care of yourself. After all, we don't know about life in the higher realms, and there are many strong cultivators waiting for us there."
"I know." Qin Shuang replied with a nod.
After that, Ling Yun turned to Wei Feng. "I'm glad you've become a cultivator again, Brother Wei. This way, you can take revenge on your former senior brother."
"This is all thanks to you and Sister Mingxia, remember?" Wei Feng then approached Ling Yun and spoke to him again. "However, I didn't expect that the little guy from three and a half years ago has become a hero now, and you have also brought peace to this place."
"You're wrong about that." Ling Yun replied as he shook his head. "I never intended to become a hero, and I did everything to protect the people closest to me, but it just so happens that my enemies are your enemies."
