Chapter 714 Dream Of Life (4)
Having such a high talent, Lin Qianxue was bound to be jealous by many. Since she lost her status, those jealous people didn’t want to let this chance away and began humiliating her in every way possible.
Lin Qianxue’s master certainly discovered this, but under the palace elders’ watch, she simply couldn’t help Lin Qianxue much even though she was a palace master. Ultimately, she could only watch her former beloved disciple get humiliated.
For Lin Tianyun’s sake, Lin Qianxue endured all the hardships and humiliations. After all, living in this place was safer compared to going out. As long as Lin Tianyun was safe, she could accept everything.
However, this situation didn’t last long. One day, Lin Qianxue’s junior sister, Miao Jinyi, who was always jealous of Lin Qianxue, was reprimanded by her master. She was so furious and decided to vent her anger on Lin Qianxue.
Coupled with her jealousy toward Lin Qianxue for all this time, she accidentally exerted too much strength and severely injured Lin Qianxue. At that moment, Lin Tianyun, who was ten years old, struggled to fight with Miao Jinyi in order to protect his mother.
Of course, how could a mere ten-year-old boy be Miao Jinyi’s opponent? While Miao Jinyi decided to kill this little bastard, a golden light suddenly burst out from Lin Tianyun’s body and shot straight at Miao Jinyi’s head, completely shattering her head into pieces.
Lin Qianxue saw everything and knew she and her son couldn’t stay in this place any longer. She rummaged through Miao Jinyi’s headless corpse and found some healing pills. With that, she quickly escaped with Lin Tianyun, who was in a daze the whole time. .
When the Divine Moon Palace got the news, they immediately sent an order out to hunt Lin Qianxue down. Under the hot pursuit, Lin Qianxue relied on her cleverness to avoid them for several months until she was found and forced to a dead end.
Since there was no other way, she decided to jump down from the cliff with Lin Tianyun in her arms and disappeared under the river below. In the end, she and Lin Tianyun were rescued by a kind old woman, Lin You, and were accepted into the Lin family.
Recalling everything, Lin Tianyun blamed himself. If Lin Qianxue hadn’t met him, she would still be a brilliant star that everyone in the whole world looked up to.
Lin Qianxue saw the guilt in Lin Tianyun’s eyes. She smiled and stroked his head lovingly. “Silly boy. Mom told you countless times already that it’s not your fault. Throughout my Lin Qianxue’s life, I never allow anyone to control my fate… However, you are an exception… Please remember that mom is willing to do everything for you, and you should also take care of yourself well.”
Lin Tianyun’s eyes reddened. He nodded his head and replied chokingly. “Mhm! I will.”
“Take a good rest. Mom will cook porridge for you.” Lin Qianxue smiled gently and got up, preparing to make a porridge.
Watching the busy figure, Lin Tianyun secretly vowed in his heart he must become stronger to protect this woman!
***
Three months passed by in a blink of an eye, and Lin Qianxue and Lin Tianyun’s lives were boringly peaceful. Since the last time, Lin Musong had never provoked Lin Tianyun again, even though his eyes were full of hatred when he looked at him.
Entering the winter, Greenwood Town was covered with white snow everywhere. All the villagers didn’t go out much like before, making the atmosphere in the town a bit lifeless.
In Lin Qianxue’s shabby hut, she meticulously added some firewoods into a small stove to keep the room warm. On the side, Lin Tianyun was reading a medicine book he bought with his hard-earned money. Since he couldn’t practice, studying medicine and becoming a doctor was another way for him to get rid of their current status.
Lin Qianxue looked at her son’s serious expression. She couldn’t help smiling and placed a hot water cup beside him. “Drink some. Your hands are already cold.”
Lin Tianyun was engrossed in the newly gained knowledge and forgot everything around him. When he heard his mother’s voice, he leaned back slightly and smiled at her. “Thank you, mom.”
After taking a sip of hot water, Lin Tianyun continued to immerse himself in the sea of knowledge. He flipped through the book while taking notes from time to time for another hour until his eyes caught a glimpse of an interesting magical plant’s description.
This magical plant was called the Frozen Heart Lotus. It was a rare magical plant that could help one regain their profound strength. It could be discovered in the extreme ice plain.
Reading this, an idea immediately flashed through Lin Tianyun’s mind. He remembered there was a huge glacier mountain called the Eternal Cold Mountain Range a few kilometers away from Greenwood Town. He once heard the rumor several rare plants could be seen there when he went to sell vegetables in the town… Perhaps the Frozen Heart Lotus has also hidden somewhere over there, right?
Thinking of this, Lin Tianyun hurriedly read the description of the Frozen Heart Lotus. The more he read, the more excited he became.
During this time, in order to enrich Lin Tianyun’s experience, Lin Qianxue allowed him to check her body whenever he gained new knowledge. Her profound vein wasn’t crippled but was blocked by something. He firmly believed this Frozen Hear Lotus could recover Lin Qianxue’s strength.
A plan gradually formed in Lin Tianyun’s mind. In the coming days, Greenwood Town would organize a group of people to hunt some beasts in the Eternal Cold Mountain Range. He could use this chance to find the Frozen Heart Lotus.
“Mom, I want to participate in the incoming hunting event.” Lin Tianyun closed the book and said.
“No. It’s too dangerous.” Lin Qianxue rejected his idea instantly.
Lin Tianyun had already prepared the words beforehand. “Mom, you see, I have been studying medicine well recently. I think this trip will give me a lot of experiences. It will certainly benefit me in the long run. Don’t you think so?”
Lin Qianxue went silent upon hearing this. As a former top-tier practitioner, how could she not understand this point? Only a true battle could produce a true warrior. It was just that she was worried about his safety….
