Ling Tian's
First Student
Not so long ago, the girl Xing'er and her father came to bring something ordered by Ling Tian and Mao An. Both serve food and drinks are quite a lot of it on the table where the two customers were.
"Please enjoy Uncle Tian and Grandpa Mao!" xing'er said with a carefree smile.
While for the father feels helpless with so active the child to the two customers.
"I'm sorry for my son's disrespect, gentlemen!" said the father of Xing'er.
"Eh? That doesn't need to be sir! Oiya, introduce my name Tian! And this is my old brother Mao An! Please Sir and Xing'er come eat with us!" ling Tian said very kindly.
"My name is Jiu! Just call old man Jiu! And for that.. It doesn't need Young Master Tian! We don't want to disturb the eating of Young Master Tian and Senior Mao!" xing'er's father Jiu subtly refused.
Ling Tian simply shook his head. Mao An reacted immediately.
"Mr Jiu come with me! Come eat with us! Toh Mr. Jiu is having no other customers besides us. Isn't that so little Xing'er?" mao An.
"But senior Mao.." Jiu was doubtful.
"No need to doubt Master Jiu! Be sitting.. My Young Master also wants to talk to you and Xing'er!" mao An said with a smile.
Finally, full of compulsion, Jiu and Xing'er were pressed on the same table as Ling Tian and Mao An to eat that many dishes.
Xing'er ate so voraciously that made Ling Tian and Mao An smile. Yep! Even though he and his father sold the food, but he very rarely ate delicious dishes like this.
As for Jiu's father, he shook his head helplessly and was quite ashamed of his son. He only ate a little that only intended to relieve his two customers.
After finishing devouring all his food, Jiu and Xing'er swiftly cleaned up all the dirty dishes and glasses, bringing him back to wash later. Then the two of them returned to sit together with Ling Tian and Mao An because earlier Mao An had said that Ling Tian wanted to speak seriously to them.
"Young Master Tian! Earlier senior Mao said that Young Master wanted to speak to both of us. If you can tell, what's that about?" jiu asked curiously.
"ah! That's.. I want Xing'er to be my student!" ling Tian replied briefly and to the point.
"Whata! M-student?" Jiu and Xing'er gasped in shock.
"Really! I want to make Xing'er my first student! Hows it? Does Master Jiu approve of it?" ling Tian asked as he continued to maintain his smile.
"That's.. A-is Young Master Ling Tian a cultivator?" jiu said carefully, asking.
Ling Tian smiled at Jiu's back question, he simply nodded in response then let out a hint of his aura which made Jiu again gasp in shock.
Ling Tian only let out his aura in the Diamond Swordsman realm to Jiu. If Ling Tian gave off his original realm aura, then it was certain that Jiu and Xing'er would die on the spot from not being able to withstand the weight.
"But Young Master Tian.. It's not that I want to reject her, but Xing'er is the only treasure I have!" jiu said with sadness. He realized he was just an ordinary human being, only Xing'er was the only one he had right now. So she was very reluctant to let go of her cute daughter.
"Mr Jiu! I'm not saying that I'll only bring Xing'er along if Mr. Jiu agrees. I want Master Jiu to come with me too! Master Jiu can also learn to cultivate later!" ling Tian said softly.
"Is that really Young Master Tian?" jiu asked unsure of his hearing. So he wanted to make sure of it again.
"B-well! I approve! Xing! Prostrate quickly and salute your teacher!" said Jiu quickly agreed and told Xing'er who had been listening earlier.
"B-well dad!" xing'er said in a hurry.
He quickly knocked himself down and kowtowed three times before Ling Tian.
"Xing'er saluted the teacher!" xing'er said respectfully.
Jiu to tears had to see her daughter had now become the disciple of a very strong person like Ling Tian. This is what he has been wanting all along. Become strong by cultivating.
As for Ling Tian, he smiled amiably and rubbed Xing'er's head gently.
"Wake Xing'er! Your honor, teacher accept! From now on you are my student!" ling Tian said.
"Good! Thank you teacher!" xing'er replied then stood up and directly hugged Ling Tian.
Xing'er was naturally also very happy about this. Being strong and recognized by many people is his goal since long ago. But because of limitations and his father who is an ordinary man makes him do not have the capital to buy resources even though only low-level resources.
At the age of eight years old he should have learned to cultivate a year ago. But because his father's profession is only a tavern owner makes him have to participate in helping him so that he is said to be a dutiful child.
Being told again because he already does not have a mother who should be a buffer in his heart when sad makes this little girl more fragile.
Xing'er sobbed in Ling Tian's arms. While Ling Tian only returned the little boy's embrace lovingly and attentively. Several times he rubbed the tip of the little girl's head to calm down and stopped crying. But the results remained nil and after that Ling Tian allowed Xing'er to like that until she was satisfied and relieved by issuing all her complaints.
Xing'er stopped crying as she suddenly felt drowsiness and fell asleep just like that in Ling Tian's embrace. It made Jiu the father feel bad for Ling Tian.
But Ling Tian asked her not to disturb Xing'er's sleep. Ling Tian instead asked Jiu to cover his shop and pack up the items he would be carrying as Ling Tian and Mao An would instantly bring the two of them after Xing'er woke up from her sleep.
Jiu just complied. He was helped with Mao An packing his belongings as well as Xing'er's. After two hours, Xing'er finally woke up from her sleep. He was very surprised when he woke up apparently still in the hands of the teacher. The other two eyes were also staring at him. They were certainly the father as well as Mao An who smiled at him.
"Xing'er is awake?" asked Ling Tian softly.
"Ah.. The teacher! Forgive Xing'er for accidentally sleeping!" xing'er said embarrassedly after releasing her embrace on Ling Tian.
"It's okay! Oiya Mr Jiu! If you may know, what clan are you two from?" asked Ling Tian who had not previously found his second family surname.
"Young Master Tian! We are just commoners and ordinary humans! We don't have any clan that we bear in the mention of our name!" jiu answered honestly.
Ling Tian smiled at Jiu's honest reply.
"alright.. Your names are now Ling Jiu and Ling Xing'er! You two are my family now!" ling Tian said kindly.
"Whataa! L-lings? Is it really Young Master Tian from the Ling Clan?" jiu asked with a surprised face.
"Sure! I am Ling Tian!"
