At the same time, Xingyuan, led by Sheng Lingxin's guards, entered the tower where Sheng Lingxin and other high-ranking members of the Assassin's Temple were.

Logically speaking, as an ordinary member of the demon hunting group, even Xingyuan, who serves as the team leader, is not qualified to enter and exit such places. It is all thanks to his father-in-law who is the military chief at the Exorcist Pass.

"You came."

Sheng Lingxin, who was sitting with his eyes closed and pretending to sleep, heard footsteps approaching. He raised his eyelids and glanced at Xingyuan, "Come with me outside and talk."

"hold head high."

In fact, when facing Sheng Lingxin, Xing Yuan's mood was much more complicated than when facing Lan Yanyu.

After all, Sheng Lingxin rarely speaks and rarely shows his emotions.

However, Xingyuan felt that Sheng Lingxin's mood at the moment should be similar to his own. In fact, when the two met this time, he, as a father-in-law, was more nervous and at a loss than Xingyuan, the son-in-law.

Sheng Lingxin was still wearing the fitting black military uniform, but because he and Xingyuan wanted to talk about family matters, when he stood up, he took off his military outer coat, revealing the white assassin combat uniform underneath.

"Don't worry about Yanyu, just call me Uncle Sheng like you did before."

Noticing that Xingyuan seemed to be hesitant to speak, Sheng Lingxin was silent for a while and took the initiative to say to him: "Yanyu has not had a child to accompany her these years, and the war in Exorcism Pass is tense. Maybe she is a little lonely. Just treat some of my words as a joke."

"Ah."

Although Xingyuan felt from the bottom of his heart that Sheng Lingxin's approach was inappropriate, this was an emotional issue between his father-in-law and mother-in-law after all, and as a junior it would be better for him not to get too involved.

"Uncle Saint, you asked me to come here. Is there something you want to tell me?"

Following Sheng Lingxin to the open-air stands of the tower, Xingyuan finally couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Sheng Lingxin's movements froze for a moment, and he spoke after a while: "Regarding the leader of your No. 1 Sergeant Demon Hunter Group, he came to our military to discuss the compensation for your meritorious service..."

"No, holy uncle."

Xingyuan shook his head and said, "If this is the case, you could have just called a guard to inform me. You must have something more important to talk to me about.

Although I am in the Magic Temple now, I am still a "child" of your Holy Family after all. I can speak directly to you about anything I want to say, and my great-grandfather has recognized me."

Sheng Lingxin didn't say anything, but just looked at Xing Yuan quietly, as if to confirm whether what he said was credible.

"Sorry."

After a while, Sheng Lingxin looked away awkwardly, "I'm not a qualified father, nor a qualified uncle, let alone..."

"The work of the Chief of Military Affairs is very heavy. I can understand you, Uncle Saint."

Xingyuan naturally did not come here to listen to Sheng Lingxin's confession this time, so he interrupted the other party immediately.

"It's not that I need you to comfort me. I can still tell right from wrong."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this."

Sheng Lingxin smiled bitterly, looked at Xingyuan and said, "You should have guessed why I called you over, right?"

"Is it because of Cai'er?" Xingyuan asked knowingly. Shenglingxin nodded, and then asked, "Is she doing well with you?"

Xingyuan thought for a moment and said, "I gave her the best I could give her."

"That's good."

Sheng Lingxin nodded, "Then I'll entrust Cai'er to you. We watched you grow up, and we feel very relieved to leave Cai'er in your care. We can't find any problems with her."

"Uncle Sheng, I can't bear your praise like this."

Now it was Xingyuan's turn to smile bitterly.

Because what he didn't expect was that not only did Cai'er want to cut off ties with her family, but even her parents seemed to have given up on recognizing her as their daughter, thinking that having him as their son-in-law was enough.

But if that was the case, then if he wanted to help Cai'er break the 'curse' of the Reincarnation Spirit Furnace, that was really the only way left.

"What's so unbearable?"

However, Sheng Lingxin seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with Xing Yuan's answer. His aura suddenly became sharp, carrying a bit of the majesty of a superior.

"Even if we look at the Magic Temple, which has a history of more than 6,000 years, the number of people with such cultivation and strength at your age can be counted on one hand, not to mention that you are also a top-grade potion master. At my age, I may not be able to support someone like you."

Xingyuan: “…”

No, father-in-law?
You can praise me, but why do you start to blame yourself when you get angry?
Fortunately, Sheng Lingxin quickly noticed his own misbehavior and coughed twice in embarrassment, "Xingyuan, you don't have to be so self-deprecating.

You are excellent, even better than the knights who have been taught by the Knights of Divine Seal... We are also very confident in your character. To be honest, my grandfather and I have different opinions.

I think you can tolerate her eye disease and tolerate her temper. It is her blessing to have such an excellent man like you by her side. "

If Sheng Lingxin was praising Xingyuan unilaterally, then Xingyuan, who had just witnessed the other party's true feelings, had to accept it shamelessly in order to prevent his father-in-law from scolding him again.

However, if the other party were to praise him at one and criticize him at the other, Xingyuan would not be able to listen to him with peace of mind.

"That's not what I meant. Uncle Sheng, Cai'er is not a burden to me at all."

Xingyuan shook his head, looked him in the eye seriously and said, "I never need to tolerate Cai'er's temper. She listens to me very much. She is very powerful... even more powerful than me."

However, Sheng Lingxin met Xingyuan's gaze and emphasized, "But she is blind. She may become dumb or even deaf like she was when she was a child. Then she will lose her appetite and sense of touch... and become a useless person who needs you to serve her for the rest of her life."

"Cai'er's eye disease..."

After being retorted by Sheng Lingxin, Xing Yuan almost accidentally revealed the secret that Cai Er's eyesight had recovered.

"I guess you still care about this."

When Sheng Lingxin saw Xing Yuan's appearance, his first reaction was not anger, but relief. "But this is also human nature, uncle does not blame you.

If that day really comes, you should return Cai'er to you. Don't feel burdened. After all, we gave Cai'er away to you ourselves.

Of course, even if you return Cai'er, we will still treat you as a family member. After all, Grandfather has already recognized you..." (End of this chapter)
