Chapter 166: Misty Rain and Parting
Ling Xiuhan raised his head, his eyes revealing stubbornness and persistence. "Father, my feelings for Yunyan are not a passing fancy. We've been through life and death together, and this bond is unforgettable. I cannot let her down, nor do I want to compromise on this marriage."
The atmosphere in the hall became increasingly tense. The parents looked at their stubborn son, feeling angry and anxious.
Ling Xiu Han straightened his back, thinking silently of Lan Yunyan, and secretly vowed that no matter what, he would hold on to this relationship and wait for the day when he would meet her again.
This couldn't help but cause ripples in Ling Xiu Han's heart, and his thoughts drifted back to that misty day when he resolutely left Lan Yunyan.
It was a cloudy day, with strong winds howling between heaven and earth. Thick clouds hung low in the sky, as if even the heavens were carrying endless sorrow and parting.
The drizzle gently brushed across the ancient bluestone road, and every drop seemed to be telling of reluctance and helplessness.
Ling Xiuhan was wearing a purple robe, the sleeves of his clothes swaying gently in the breeze, but it could not hide the indelible melancholy between his brows.
Ling Xiuhan stood in the courtyard where Lan Yunyan lived, his eyes full of pain and helplessness.
His heart was like a raging sea, and every thought was in turmoil. He knew that the decision he was about to make would bring great harm to Lan Yunyan, but he had no choice.
The family mission and heavy responsibilities were like two huge mountains pressing on his shoulders, forcing him to make this difficult decision.
Ling Xiuhan clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the exertion. His gaze was fixed on the distance, as if searching for a glimmer of courage.
The little moments he had with Lan Yunyan kept emerging in his mind. Those beautiful memories were like sharp thorns, piercing his heart and causing him pain.
He had thought about facing all the difficulties with Lan Yunyan, but the reality was so cruel.
He knew that if he took Lan Yunyan with him, it would only put her in a more dangerous situation. He couldn't be so selfish and let her take risks for him.
Finally, Ling Xiuhan gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He slowly turned around, his steps heavy as if filled with lead. With every step, his heart felt like it was being torn apart.
He wanted so badly to look back at Lan Yunyan, to hear her voice again, to feel her warmth again. But he didn't dare, for he was afraid that if he turned back, he would no longer have the courage to leave.
At the moment of leaving, Ling Xiu Han's heart was filled with guilt and reluctance.
He silently said to Lan Yunyan in his heart: "Yunyan, I'm sorry, I have to leave. But please believe me, I will definitely come back to find you."
The rain continued to fall, as if singing a dirge for this unfinished relationship. Ling Xiuhan's figure gradually faded away in the rain, eventually becoming a blurry dot, disappearing in the vast sea of people.
But the memory of Lan Yunyan was like a brand, deeply engraved in his heart, becoming an indelible mark in his life.
Time passed quietly, Ling Xiuhan struggled to move forward in his family's mission, but his heart was always concerned about Lan Yunyan.
Every quiet night, he would stand alone in front of the window, looking at the bright moon, his thoughts drifting to her in the distance.
In family affairs, Ling Xiu Han showed extraordinary decisiveness and leadership, but his eyes often revealed an indescribable loneliness.
He knew that his heart had long been left in that misty day, in the courtyard where he parted with Lan Yunyan.
Once, the family faced a major crisis. Enemies advanced with great force, intent on annihilating the Ling family. Ling Xiuhan led the family in a fierce resistance, charging into battle time and again, fearless.
However, when he was on the verge of life and death, what emerged in his mind was Lan Yunyan's smiling face.
At that moment, he seemed to have found infinite strength, burst out with amazing fighting power, and finally succeeded in repelling the enemy.
After the battle, Ling Xiuhan sat on the ground exhausted, his longing for Lan Yunyan growing stronger.
He knew that he had to complete his family's mission as soon as possible, and then go find her and fulfill his promise.
Meanwhile, on the Canglan Continent, Lan Yunyan was also trying hard to survive. She searched everywhere for news about Ling Xiuhan, but to no avail.
Lan Yunyan let the matter go and forced herself to forget Ling Xiu Han. However, those past memories followed her like a shadow, rippling in her heart from time to time.
She tried to immerse herself in her new life and began to focus on training and improving her strength. Every day, she got up early and went to the quiet mountains and forests, breathing in the fresh air and honing herself.
She wants to fill the void in her heart with busyness and growth.
As time went by, Lan Yunyan gradually became famous in Canglan Continent. Her bravery and intelligence were praised by people, and many people were willing to make friends with her.
But deep in her heart, there is always a cold and lonely place.
Once, Lan Yunyan received a dangerous mission and needed to explore a mysterious ruins.
The ruins were filled with all sorts of unknown dangers and powerful monsters, but Lan Yunyan showed no fear. She led a team into the ruins.
In the ruins, they encountered numerous difficulties, including powerful magic traps and ferocious monster attacks, which put them in a desperate situation.
However, Lan Yunyan never gave up. She relied on her wisdom and strength to escape danger time and time again.
In a fierce battle, Lan Yunyan was knocked away by a huge monster and fell heavily to the ground.
At that moment, Ling Xiuhan's image suddenly flashed through her mind. She seemed to see the man who had protected her at all costs when she was in the most dangerous moment.
Tears blurred her eyes, and she finally realized that she could never forget Ling Xiu Han.
Those past feelings have long been deeply engraved in her heart and have become an inseparable part of her life.
