Lin Chen pulled him too strongly to the point of making Lin Qiao Jianying crash into his body.
"What's going on?" Lin Qiao Jianying held her head as her gaze slightly twisted. He looked around; finding out where he was now, until finally his gaze was fixed on the woman whose facial structure was similar to his. "Mother? Mother alone? Where's Dad?"
Yan Xue was speechless, and simply lowered her head as she pointed down Lin Qiao Jianying.
Lin Qiao Jianying lowered her head, and finally realized that she was sitting on top of Lin Chen's chest. "Aah!" He got up, then sat down next to Yah Xue. "Dad, Jian'er apologizes..." He lowered his head and his voice sounded very slow.
Lin Chen took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. "No problem, Jian'er had already jumped on Dad's stomach. So this is not much."
Lin Qiao Jianying covered her face with both hands and said softly, "Dad..."
Lin Chen sat on the clouds. He patted Lin Qiao Jianying's head before tasting warmly on his forehead. "Daddy's daughter is getting prettier, is ... Jian'er ate?" It almost brought up the matter regarding the Ye family, but immediately shifted the direction of the conversation.
Lin Qiao Jianying smiled bitterly, then shook her head and replied, "No, Jian'er has not touched food for three years. The Ye family made Jian'er dizzy, if Jian'er did not want to maintain the reputation of Qiao Jian'er Pavilion, perhaps Jian'er had already attacked the Ye family long ago."
There was a complicated feeling contained within his words, like anger that had been pent up for a long time, yet was helpless from being unable to let go.
Lin Chen was very angry when he saw his daughter who looked sad, eager to take action, but it was not good for Lin Qiao Jianying's development if it was always protected and all the problems were overcome by him.
Yan Xue embraced Lin Qiao Jianying. "Whatever Jian'er does, Mother will always support him. Provided, it is still within reasonable limits and not doing anything wrong."
Lin Qiao Jianying nodded her head as she leaned her head on Yan Xue's right shoulder. His eyes began to fog with the water gathering, then the tears flowed down his cheeks. He let go of all the emotions he had been holding back; the feeling of how to withstand the pressure that the noble families had exerted in Dongqi City, until there was much slander about the pills he sold.
If Lin Qiao Jianying did not worry about the subordinates she employed, perhaps she would have escaped alone without looking back.
Lin Chen sat further forward, facing Lin Qiao Jianying. "Your brother, he pursued three empires at the Fengxuan Star."
Lin Qiao Jianying opened her eyes wide and sat in an upright position. "How is he doing? I have to go there, help Brother!"
Lin Chen smiled faintly looking at the panicked Lin Qiao Jianying. She was eager to turn the special time around for Lin Qiao Jianying to return to being a cute four-year-old little girl. "He had already killed them all, and had now left the Fengxuan Star. As for Xuan'er, he still hunts monsters and sometimes plays become a hero by killing Demon Cultivators."
Lin Qiao Jianying heaved a sigh of relief and opened her mouth about to speak, but was preceded by Lin Chen.
"Jian'er, does Jian'er want to be a little girl? Father wanted to hug the little Jian'er."
Lin Qiao Jianying was stunned with her mouth open, not even Yan Xue expected that. Yan Xue pulled back Lin Chen's ears until it looked like a Goutama Buddha. "Don't use your daughter to experiment Dao Time!"
Lin Qiao Jianying looked at Lin Chen and Yan Xue alternately, then chuckled as she covered her mouth with her right hand. He misses this much, his father is very strong, beyond anything, but looks weak helpless beside his mother.
Lin Qiao Jianying jumped into Lin Chen's arms, leaning her head against his father's chest.
Lin Chen hugged Lin Qiao Jianying's back while patting her head. "If Jian'er can't face the Ye Family, Father can send Bai Hu to help. He was already a Peak-stage Spirit Realm, or Father could send an Inner Disciple or a Main Elder Assistant of the Inner Disciple."
"No." Lin Qiao Jianying shook her head as she buried her face in Lin Chen's chest. "Jian'er can handle it on his own. If Big Brother Mei could kill powerful enemies, Jian'er could too. After all, Jian'er was cultivating first."
Lin Chen gave a small nod and continued to pat Lin Qiao Jianying on the head. Yan Xue sat to the side and leaned her head on Lin Chen's shoulder. The two looked at each other, then his gaze fell on Lin Qiao Jianying who was already asleep.
Yan Xue looked at Lin Qiao Jianying's face, and cleaned her saliva-spinning lips as she almost dripped onto Lin Chen's shirt. "Looks like he's so exhausted, let him be like that."
Lin Chen changed the position of Lin Qiao Jianying who looked uncomfortable. He held her up, then placed her on his lap sideways, and let her head rest on his left chest. Thus, Lin Qiao Jianying's back did not hurt, and could more easily see her face.
"I still feel guilty leaving them for seven years. If only I hadn't absorbed the God Pill, maybe we would have been very close. Especially Xuan'er." Lin Chen sighed, still thinking of Lin Da Zixuan who was so angry at him first.
Yan Xue shook her head. "It's not Gege's fault, then Xue'er will talk to Xuan'er. Even though he forgave Gege, but he still looks cold." Despite saying so, there was helplessness on his face.
Lin Chen did not say anything more, only directing the clouds he occupied to go over the Qiao Jian'er Pavilion; guarding against unwanted things, especially the help of the Rongyang Empire.
Lin Chen sensed the help from the Rongyang Empire was already departing. It seemed, the Rongyang Empire was satisfied with the quality of the pill that Lin Qiao Jianying refined, although it was the same in terms of level and stage, but in terms of effectiveness, Lin Qiao Jianying belonged to the best.

"How do you think Fairy Jianying is dealing with the Rongyang Empire?"
"Of course, Fairy Jianying is only a Divine God, and the Rongyang Empire, there are Yuzhao, even Huangdi. In terms of strength, they are like the earth and the sky."
"It's very difficult to be beautiful and talented. You will be pursued for your beauty, and you will be hunted to be locked up for your talent. If the Jianying Fairy was locked up by the Rongyang Empire, perhaps she would be forced to refine pills until the end of her life."
Everyone began to look at Qiao Jian'er Pavilion and love Fairy Jianying who because of her beauty made her troubled with the Ye Family, and because her talent caused her trouble with the Rongyang Empire.
They sighed, then started to move away from Qiao Jian'er Pavilion. Even visitors began to go away, leaving the workers still living.
Lin Chen who was above the clouds, heard it, but did not take action.
Lin Qiao Jianying got up because of the disturbing noise. But was reluctant to get down from Lin Chen's lap and stay leaned back like his childhood was.
At that moment, suddenly the wind blew fiercely with fluctuations of energy gathering from various places, surrounding Dongqi City. The clouds flew irregularly due to the powerful aura that came, but strangely the white clouds above Qiao Jian'er Pavilion did not move even once, as if there was a rope tying him to keep him from leaving.
The sound of a torn cloth rang out, and there was a spatial crack open. From within it was the Profound Ark, not one or two, it was a dozen more with a very large size, having a length of a mile.
The largest one was more than three times its normal size, colored red with the Dragon and Phoenix emblems.
The pressure exerted by the Profound Ark spread throughout the city, rendering everyone unable to last any longer and eventually kneeling down.
"Give Lin Qiao Jianying!"
Sounds echoed in the sky, and on the largest Profound Ark, there was a young man dressed in red clothes in a golden robe, there was a golden ornament on his head that was usually used by the Princes.
From one of the residences in Dongqi City, there were seen dozens of lights flying to form human silhouettes. When the light stopped in the middle of the sky of the city, it appeared to be its true form.
One of them was a dark blue-haired youth, wearing purple-colored clothes. His eyes looked sharp and his gaze was like that of a powerful person, like one who considered himself to be the center of everything, and the world revolved around him.
"Third Prince. As agreed, Fairy Jianying will marry me." That said was Young Master Ye, who looked down on everyone.
Third Prince, just a small nod without a sound. Then, he raised his hand; extremely powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy gathered above Qiao Jian'er Pavilion. With a wave of his hand, a golden-colored hand suddenly formed that fell down.
The airwaves spread out and strong tremors occurred even before the palms hit the ground.
Lin Chen was hugging Lin Qiao Jianying, starting to move by lowering his right hand. He held his index finger with his thumb, and there was a small pebble held in.
Seeing that, Lin Qiao Jianying restrained Lin Chen's hand while shaking her head. "Dad, let Jian'er handle it. Jian'er wanted to be like Big Brother who could face challenges. Jian'er had not fought for a long time, and since they had already come, this was good for stretching the muscles."
Lin Chen looked at Lin Qiao Jianying, then nodded his head. In contrast to Yan Xue, who was already preparing to unleash an attack.
Lin Qiao Jianying stood up and stepped onto the edge of the clouds.
Bang out!
The palm struck the array formation protecting Qiao Jian'er Pavilion; the shockwave along with the air spread out in all directions, sweeping through the surrounding buildings though not to the point of severely destroying them.
Lin Qiao Jianying took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. He stepped all the way past the boundary of the clouds, making him reappear in the sky of Dongqi City.
