Chapter 29: Los Angeles
In the face of everyone's congratulations, Duan Ling just smiled, and said to Xiong Tiefei, who was sitting on the ground with a stupid face, "Is there anything else?"
Xiong Tiefei's head was blank, and before he could recover from the shock, he heard Duan Ling's inquiry, and under the gaze of many monks, he said tremblingly: "No... It's okay, congratulations... Congratulations, Senior Brother Duan!"
Duan Ling nodded, and then turned to leave.
Looking at the back of Duan Ling leaving, many monks were talking behind him, some were envious, some were jealous, and some of the language sounded plain, but it was difficult to hide the sourness in their hearts.
Xiong Tiefei thought of the first time he met Duan Ling, when he had just entered the sect, and when he came to this cloud ladder, he actually said wildly that he would definitely leave his name on the list next time. But he never imagined that the joke he thought before would become a reality in such a short period of time.
"Demon!" Xiong Tiefei looked at Duan Ling, whose figure was gradually blurring, and said in his heart.
Duan Ling went all the way back to the medicine garden, a slender figure walked back and forth outside his medicine garden, Duan Ling fixed his eyes and saw that it was Chen Susha. It's just that at this moment, Chen Susha's brows are tightly locked, as if there is something annoying. Even when Duan Ling walked to her side, she didn't notice it at all.
"Senior sister, is there something wrong?" Duan Ling suddenly spoke beside Chen Susha, which made Chen Susha startled.
Chen Susha's face was a little ugly, and when she saw Duan Ling suddenly appear beside her, she smiled unnaturally, and stopped talking a little, and then spoke under Duan Ling's gaze, "No... It's okay, I'm just passing through. After Chen Susha finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Duan Ling looked at Chen Susha's departing back, shook his head a little confused, and then walked towards the garden.
"Senior brother..."Just as Duan Ling was about to step into the medicine garden, Chen Susha, who was far away, suddenly shouted Duan Ling again, and turned back and walked back towards Duan Ling.
"Say, what's the matter?" Duan Ling looked at Chen Susha with a smile.
Chen Susha's expression seemed to be a little embarrassed, she lowered her head, as if she didn't know how to speak, and the index fingers of both hands kept circling around.
Duan Ling looked at her, she didn't know what was wrong with Chen Susha, but she had never seen her look like this now, "Say, senior sister, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you." ”
Hearing Duan Ling's words, it seemed that Chen Susha's heart suddenly became firm, she slowly raised her head, her eyes flashed with tears, and she looked pitiful, like a helpless little girl.
"I... My mother is sick, can you accompany me home?" Chen Susha finished speaking, as if the burden on her body had been lifted, she had been struggling with how to open this mouth to Duan Ling? She had also thought about finding someone else, just with her reputation as the number one beauty in the Genting Sect, as long as she shouted, there would definitely be many young talents willing to go with her. It's just that this is a family matter after all, and she doesn't want more people to know, so in the end, after thinking about it, she thought of Duan Ling. He is the nephew of his master, although sometimes she feels annoying, but he has a very conflicted sense of trust in him.
When Duan Ling heard this, he suddenly realized, "You said it earlier, this kind of trivial matter is incumbent." ”
Seeing Duan Ling's answer so decisively, Chen Susha seemed to be in disbelief, and the tears immediately flowed, "Thank you!" After a long while, Chen Susha said slowly.
"When are you leaving?" Duan Ling asked, looking at Chen Susha.
Chen Susha wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a little blush: "If you can, let's go now." ”
Duan Ling nodded, Chen Susha's mother was sick, and she naturally wanted to return to her mother's side earlier.
"You wait for me for a while, I'll go in and take a look at the small plate. Duan Ling suddenly thought of the small plate, it is estimated that it will take a long time to go, so let's take it with him, but he searched the entire medicine garden and failed to find the shadow of the small plate.
He knows the ability of the small disk, and his protection is useless in front of the small disk, but fortunately, the cultivation of the small disk is not low, but he does not have to worry about its safety.
"Xiaopan doesn't know where to go, don't worry about it, let's go!" Duan Ling looked at the medicine garden, and then said to Chen Susha.
"Thank you, I know that it is dangerous for you to leave the sect, but I still want to trouble you. Chen Susha said apologetically to Duan Ling as she walked.
When Duan Ling heard this, he understood that Chen Susha was talking about himself and Zhou Ning, and if he left the sect, he was afraid that Zhou Ning would be unfavorable to him. "Senior sister, don't worry, Zhou Ning is in retreat to improve his strength, preparing to deal with the opening of the Spirit Pool, and now he doesn't have the heart to pay attention to me. Duan Ling said with a smile. What's more, with Chen Susha here, now that his cultivation has also improved, it may not be so easy for Zhou Ning to kill himself.
It wasn't until after walking out of the Genting Sect that the two of them performed the art of flying with the sword, Chen Susha's home was extremely far away from the Genting Sect, and it would take seven or eight months to travel on foot, but the flight of this sword would only take half a month.
On the way, Duan Ling finally learned about Chen Susha's background, her home was in Los Angeles, and her father Chen Tiance joined a Xiuzhen family in Los Angeles, and later met her mother.
Chen Tiance was originally a wealthy person, and it was impossible for him to get the consent of the family for such a thing, but his original wife was infatuated with him and did not want him to force him to die, so Chen Tiance finally accepted Chen Susha's mother as a concubine in a series of twists and turns.
Although Chen Susha's mother entered the Fang family, her status in the Fang family was not much higher than that of the servants, and she was not treated well by everyone in the Fang family. But in order to stay with Chen Tiance, she endured all this.
Until she gave birth to Chen Susha, Chen Susha followed her mother, not only did the people of the Fang family look down on her, but even the servants never took her seriously. Fortunately, when she was four years old, an elder of the Genting Sect traveled to see her qualifications, so he brought her back to the Genting Sect, and finally made her mother feel a lot of comfort in her heart.
Along the way, Duan Ling listened to Chen Susha's words, and could fully imagine how much she and her mother had been wronged in the Fang family, and how an outsider who had nothing to do with the Fang family spent those childhoods.
Seeing Chen Susha crying and telling her about the past, Duan Ling also felt sorry for her in her heart, but she didn't know how to comfort her, which may also be the reason why Chen Susha asked Duan Ling to go with her, after all, these were the pain in her heart.
"What about you, although I know that you and Shizun are uncles and nephews, but I don't know the situation in your family, are your parents okay?" Chen Susha sniffed, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then said to Duan Ling with a smile.
Hearing Chen Susha's question, Duan Ling was silent for a moment before he said, "My mother died shortly after giving birth to me, and I haven't seen what she looks like. My father also died of a serious illness when I was 12 years old. ”
Chen Susha looked at Duan Ling blankly, she never thought that Duan Ling's life experience was so bumpy.
"I'm sorry!" Chen Susha looked at Duan Ling and said softly.
"There's nothing to be sorry for, it's been many years, and I've long been used to it, not to mention that although I don't have parents, I have a second uncle, and my neighbors are very good to me. Duan Ling smiled, but Chen Susha could see how far-fetched this smile was.
The two never mentioned their respective backgrounds on the way afterward, just chatting casually about their cultivation in the Yunding Sect. And Chen Susha gradually forgot about Duan Ling's peeping on her, and even in these contacts, she felt that Duan Ling was actually not that bad, which may be the reason for the similar fate.
"By the way, Senior Sister, is the Fang family very strong?" Duan Ling asked.
"I was too young when I left, and I didn't know much about the strength of the Fang family, I only knew that in Los Angeles, the Fang family had a very high status. Chen Susha thought hard, but she really couldn't remember what the Fang family was doing in Los Angeles.
......
Before they knew it, the two of them had been flying for half a month.
"Look, there's L.A. ahead. Chen Susha happily pointed to an extremely wide city in front of her and said, she can see her mother when she arrives in Los Angeles, she has missed her mother very much in the Yunding Sect over the years, but every time her mother asks someone to bring a letter to her, she is asked to practice hard, and everything is fine at home. Tell her that if she doesn't listen to herself, she will never recognize her as a daughter.
In this way, Chen Susha has been away for fifteen years, and she has not seen her mother for fifteen years.
Duan Ling looked in the direction of Chen Susha's finger, and a prosperous city appeared in front of him, this was the first time Duan Ling had seen such a big city, and various styles of buildings were arranged in an orderly manner in the city, making this city appear much more orderly. Towers stand tall and can look out in all directions of Los Angeles.
And above the high walls of Luocheng, there is a golden shield that envelops it, and although the aura inside it is not as rich as that of the Yunding Sect, it is not too bad.
Duan Ling and Chen Susha fell outside Los Angeles, above the tall city gate, and the words 'Los Angeles' exuded fluctuations of spiritual power, indicating that this was not an extraordinary city, but a city of cultivators.
"Two, no one needs to pay a spirit stone to enter Los Angeles. At the gate of the city, a monk wearing armor said to Duan Ling and Chen Susha. may see that Duan Ling and Chen Susha's cultivation is much higher than him, and their attitude is quite respectful.
Duan Ling was stunned, he now had tens of thousands of spirit stones on his body, but he didn't care about these two pieces, and directly handed over the two spirit stones to the guard, and the guard let the two of them go.
"Fang's family is in the center of the city, flying is not allowed in the city, let's walk. The mother she hadn't seen for many years was so close to her, and the thought of seeing her right away made Chen Susha feel much better.
"I just hope her illness isn't too serious. After a moment, she muttered again, her pace quickening.
Duan Ling followed closely behind her, and the buildings of Los Angeles became more and more luxurious as they got closer and closer to the center of the city, and the aura in this city became more and more intense. This also shows that the people who can live in the center of this city are all wealthy families in this city.
"It's here. Chen Susha pointed to a majestic mansion in front of her and said happily to Duan Ling.
I saw that the main entrance of the mansion was extremely wide, enough for eight or nine people to walk side by side. On both sides of the gate, two jade-chiseled lions were majestic, and there seemed to be spiritual power fluctuations in their eyes. And above the main gate, two big characters flashed with golden light, as if sprinkled with a layer of gold dust - Fang Fu.
