"General Ling, General Ling!" a soldier shouted Ling Chen in a panic, while Ling Chen was looking at the map in the big tent and making a battle plan.

"What's so flustered!" Ling Chen looked at the soldiers who were running in a panic from outside the big tent, Ling Chen was only in his thirties at this time, but he was already an imperial general above 10,000 people under the Caesar Empire, his eyebrows exuded a heroic spirit, and his appearance was extremely handsome.

"Great, my lord, I found a young girl, and she was dying!" the soldier replied nervously.

"Oh, take me to see it!" Ling Chen followed the soldier outside the tent.

At this time, Ling Chen's army was preparing to go to the border to prepare for the impending demon invasion, and halfway through the march, Ling Chen ordered the army to rest here, because they were about to arrive at the front line, and the soldiers had to ensure their physical strength.

Ling Chen followed the soldier outside, it turned out that the soldier found the guiding girl when he was patrolling nearby, Ling Chen came to the girl's side and found that the outfit on her body was a person from the Arcane Empire, Ling Chen quickly sensed the girl's breath, the breath was very weak, and she would lose her life at any time.

Ling Chen didn't think much about it, and immediately took the girl back to his tent, and then called a therapist to treat the girl.

After a night of recovery, the girl finally woke up, and after seeing that the girl was fine, Ling Yan was relieved and immediately arranged for the army to advance, no matter what, the military plane could not be delayed.

During the march, Ling Chen left the girl in the army and arranged a carriage for her, although the conditions were more difficult, but there were no people in a hundred miles around here, and it was only a dead end for her to be placed here.

After the army arrived at the front line, Ling Chen ordered someone to arrange the girl in a safe position in the rear, and the girl was also very well-behaved, and did not make trouble, but did what others told, and did it himself.

Although the conditions of the army were difficult, the girl recovered little by little, and after getting acquainted with the logistics department who often brought her food, she would also help cook, and these soldiers also liked this little girl very much, which also made this serious army a little more laughter.

Ling Chen didn't have time to talk to this little girl, but he would notice this little girl when he had time, so he silently observed her.

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed, and under the leadership of Ling Chen, the warrior troops have achieved a major victory, repelled the demon army, recovered a lost territory in the north, and returned triumphantly to Lingfeng City, the imperial capital of the Caesar Empire.

Alexis remembers that it was the first time she had spoken to Ling Chen......

Alexis was only seven or eight years old at the time, and she couldn't remember why she appeared in Caesar's Empire as a member of the Arcane Empire, and in her memory, she was just running away, running away, and someone was chasing her all the time.

Alexis sat in the carriage, her mind not thinking about anything, just sitting like this, not looking at the scenery along the way.

At this moment, Ling Chen came to Alexis's carriage, and Alexis immediately became nervous when she saw someone coming in, but she naturally knew the man in front of her, so although she was nervous, she was not afraid.

Although Ling Chen exuded a heroic aura between his eyebrows and his appearance was outstanding, but the perennial battle made his eyes still have a solemn look, in order to make the little girl in front of him not afraid of himself, Ling Chen tried his best to squeeze out a friendly expression.

But in Alexis's opinion, it was better not to make an expression, and it was really a little unbearable, so Alexis lowered his head.

Seeing this, Ling Chen hurriedly put away his stiff smile and asked, "What's the little girl's name?"

"Alexis. Alexis said his name plainly.

Seeing this, Ling Chen felt that Alexis was not afraid of him, and then he was relieved, and his body relaxed slightly, and he asked, "Why did you come to the Caesar Empire?"

"I don't know. ”

"And where do you remember where your home is?"

"I don't remember anything, only my name. ”

Ling Chen also wanted to say that he would send Alexis back to his hometown, but Alexis's answer made him choke back when he said this.

Neither of them spoke, just sat like this, Alexis didn't look up, Ling Chen looked at the little girl in front of him as if she was making a very difficult decision.

Ling Chen suddenly spoke again: "Why don't you live in my house in the future?"

Ling Chen asked tentatively.

"Yes. Alexis replied crisply.

"......" Ling Chen was suddenly speechless, he really didn't expect this little girl to agree so neatly.

"Okay, you can rest first, and we'll be back in Lingfeng City in two days!" Ling Yan said this to Alexis and then went out.

Ling Chen scratched his head after getting out of the carriage, to be honest, he was definitely a good hand at leading the troops to fight, and no one could beat him, but when facing this little girl, he seemed to be a little at a loss, Ling Chen sighed and said: "It turns out that there are things that I am not good at." ”

Speaking of this, Ling Chen remembered that the kid in his family, Ling Xiao, should be staying in Dragon City at this time, and he hadn't seen him for a long time, so he didn't know how much he had grown.

After Ling Chen returned to Lingfeng City to report the battle report to the Emperor, he returned directly to the mansion and arranged a place for Alexis, who had nothing to do during this time and stayed in the mansion, but she found that Alexis was abnormal, Alexis sat on the steps in front of a room all day long and was not in a daze, and when birds occasionally flew in the sky, Alexis would slowly raise his head to look at the sky.

Ling Chen didn't know what Alexis was thinking, but according to what Alexis said, she didn't remember anything, so maybe she was in a daze and didn't think about anything.

Ling Chen felt that it would definitely not work to go on like this, Alexis would be so stupid, what was the difference between this and a piece of wood? When she was in the army before, there were still people talking to her, but now she didn't want to communicate with the people in the mansion, it seemed that the tall walls of the mansion had sealed Alexis's heart in it.

Early this morning, Alexis sat on the stone steps in front of the door of his room in a daze, Ling Chen walked up to Alexis and said to Alexis, "Alexis, get up." ”

Alexis raised her eyelids and asked, "What's the matter?" but her ass didn't move a bit.

"I'll take you somewhere!" Ling Chen tried to keep his tone cheerful.

"Somewhere, I don't want to go. Alexis replied lifelessly.

Ling Chen suddenly grabbed Alexis's wrist, pulled Alexis up, and said to her, "You'll know when you go, I promise you'll be interested." ”

"Oh, well. Alexis let go of Ling Chen's grip on his hand.

Ling Chen shook his hand that he had nowhere to put it, and finally put his hands behind his back and walked forward.

Alexis was following behind Ling Chen.

After walking for about twenty minutes, Ling Chen took Alexis to the backyard of the mansion, which was a kendo hall.

Ling Chen brought Alexis into the kendo hall, there were many swords displayed on the wall of the kendo hall, Alexis looked at the swords hanging on the wall in a daze, Ling Chen looked at Alexis and was very satisfied with her reaction, because Ling Chen felt that he had brought Alexis to the right place.

Ling Chen pushed Alexis forward from behind Alexis, pushed Alexis to the center of the hall of the kendo hall, and then ordered his subordinates to hand over two wooden swords.

After Ling Chen got the two wooden swords, he casually threw them to Alexis, Alexis hurriedly caught them, although it was a wooden sword, but for this seven or eight-year-old thin girl, this weight was still heavy enough, Alexis's arm trembled slightly, and he used his full strength to lift the wooden sword, although it was obviously holding on, but Alexis seemed to have a natural stubbornness, she didn't want to put down the sword when she held it.

"Alexis, I can see that you are a good fit to be a swordsman!" Ling Chen said with excitement in his tone.

Alexis looked at Ling Chen in a daze, and then she looked at the wooden sword in her hand, there seemed to be something more in her eyes at this moment, although Alexis didn't know what it would mean to be a swordsman at this time!

"Today, you will practice raising your sword, and you will hold this wooden sword for an hour, and you will not be allowed to put it down. Ling Chen ordered.

Alexis didn't respond to Ling Chen, but looking at the wooden sword in his hand, Alexis's eyes were more determined, I must do it.

Ling Chen didn't leave, but sat on the wooden floor on the side, just looking at Alexis.

Alexis's arm trembled violently due to soreness when he held the wooden sword for twenty minutes, but Alexis gritted his teeth and insisted, Alexis's forehead was already covered with sweat, but Ling Chen could see the stubbornness in Alexis's eyes, and she hadn't given up yet.

After holding on for forty minutes, Alexis felt that her eyes had begun to blur, her eyes had begun to darken, and her arm was in severe pain due to soreness, but the wooden sword in Alexis's hand still did not slide down even a little.

Ling Chen looked at it was actually a little unbearable, the wooden sword of this quality was actually full of weight in the hands of an adult, so that a seven or eight-year-old girl could lift it for an hour for the first time, such a requirement was actually a bit too harsh, Ling Chen couldn't help but think of his son Ling Xiao's first time to raise this wooden sword was only hard for two hours.

But although he saw that Alexis was about to be unable to hold on, Ling Chen did not end the order this time, because he could feel that Alexis still did not give up, and there were less than ten minutes to go, Ling Chen hoped that Alexis could hold on to this time, because for a swordsman, his most powerful thing is not how powerful his talent and energy are, but a strong heart that will never fall, and if Alexis gives up halfway, then Ling Chen will also give up and find another way out for Alexis, because the path of cultivation is the most difficult, if you can't go the first time, then it will be difficult to make great achievements in the future.

An hour finally passed, Ling Chen quickly got up and ran towards Alexis, Alexis's eyes were dark at this time, the wooden sword in his hand was out of his hand, and the whole person turned backwards, and even if Ling Chen stopped Alexis, he didn't let Alexis be hurt again because of the fall, after all, Alexis's current system is still too weak.

Ling Chen sent Alexis back to the room to rest, and at the same time took a moment of elixir for Alexis, this is a first-grade elixir, which is perfect for Alexis now, not only can help Alexis improve his physique, but also help Alexis make faster progress in his future cultivation.

The next morning, Alexis arrived early and waited outside Ling Chen's door.

When Ling Chen got up, he was very surprised to find Alexis waiting outside his door, but he laughed randomly, and Ling Chen knew that Alexis had found his own way, so he was naturally very happy.

Ling Chen took Alexis to breakfast, and during the meal, Alexis spoke a lot more than before, just like opening up the second vein of Ren and Du, and the whole person came alive.

Alexis asked Ling Chen when he would practice swordsmanship again, and what Alexis was looking forward to most now was sword practice.

Ling Chen laughed and said, "Don't be impatient when it comes to cultivation, continue to practice sword raising today, you will have to lift it for two hours today!"

"No problem, I'll be able to do it!"

Ling Chen looked at Alexis's back, and in her body, Ling Chen felt that Alexis's heart was happy and pursued at this time.

Although it is still a bit difficult to persist for two hours this time, after Ling Chen gave Alexis the pill last night, Alexis will no longer have the same painful situation as yesterday, and the last step of raising the sword in the first stage is to be able to hold on all day, which is also the ultimate cultivation goal of Alexis at this stage!
