Chapter 453: Father
At the end of the year, Qinglang City, which had been gloomy for two days, finally ushered in a heavy snowfall.
Al was sitting on the stone bench in the yard, and the snowflakes spread to both sides on top of Al's head, so that not a single speck of snow fell on Al's body.
Taking a sip of the tea lightly, Al looked at the falling snowflakes and felt quite comfortable.
Today is exactly half a year since Ai Er came to the Eastern Continent, and it has been three months since Liu Zhi left in anger last time. Few places are targeting him. For example, the Imperial Library of Qinglang City, which Al visits from time to time, refuses Al's entry because he is a visitor from the Western Continent.
Al doesn't care about this point. It's just a pastime habit for him to read in the library. After confirming that there is no information he needs in the library of Qinglang City, he decides whether he can enter the library of Qinglang City. There was no such urgency.
As for other aspects, there are countless small targets like this, but none of them can really cause any big troubles for Al. After all, in Qinglang City, Ge Lang, who is the deputy city lord, and the behemoth Lanyang Auction House have given him a lot of money. Al has given him great protection, so Al's life has not been affected in any way as before.
After drinking the tea in the teacup, Al sighed softly, and said to Bruno who was standing behind him, "Bruno, go prepare two teacups, there are guests here."
Slightly nodding his head, Bruno immediately left the snow-free space around Al, returned to the house in the snow, took out two teacups, and placed them on the table where no snowflakes had fallen.
And just when the two teacups were put down, a group of people wearing black robes with red patterns embroidered came to the small courtyard, and the old man who was walking behind the middle-aged man in the front was exactly the one who had been there before. After meeting once, Jiang Quan, a fifth-level blood knight with the blood of Xuanying.
Before walking to the small courtyard, Jiang Quan just wanted to reach out to push the door, but was stopped by the middle-aged man. He looked at Al through the low gate of the small courtyard, and said with a smile: "Travelers come here, I don't know Can I have a cup of tea?"
Hearing this, Al stretched out his hand to refill the two cups with tea, and said, "Since you're here, come in and have a glass of water, Bruno, go and prepare some hot water for the gentleman's followers outside." Nuannuan body is destined to be married
. "
The middle-aged man took Jiang Quan and sat on the stone bench opposite Ai Er. Jiang Quan did not drink the tea in front of him, but just looked at Ai Er lightly, but the middle-aged man seemed quite enthusiastic. The teacup in front of him drank the tea in small sips. While drinking, he showed a smile, as if he was tasting some kind of delicious food.
"The tea is not good tea, and the water is just this rootless snow water, I hope it can enter your mouth."
Shaking his head, the middle-aged man put down his teacup, motioned Jiang Quan to add water to his cup, and then said: "Master Ai'er, what Jiang Quan did last time was unavoidably inappropriate. I apologize, and besides, I don’t know if you can let me meet Sha’er. After careful calculation, I haven’t seen her for nearly thirteen years. She was only four years old when she left me, and she should be seventeen now. Alright."
Sighing, Al looked at the middle-aged man and said: "I can't make the decision for Misha, I need to ask her to see what she means, if Misha doesn't want to see you, then I can only apologize. "
Smiling and nodding, the middle-aged man said: "Master Al, please ask Misha, I can accept any result."
Hearing this, Al gestured to the curse shadow standing at the door of the house. Not long after, Al saw Misha walking out a little nervously. She first looked at Al, then turned her head to see To that middle-aged man, after a long time, she walked up to Al and sat down, lowering her head slightly so that people could not see her expression clearly.
The middle-aged man looked at Misha sitting next to Al, he hesitated for a moment,
Then he said, "Sha'er, why don't you look at me, I am your father."
Shaking her head, Misha said: "You are not my father, my father, my father is dead, you are not him."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man didn't feel dissatisfied in the slightest. After thinking about it, he tore off the sleeve of his left arm, exposing the inner side of his left arm near the armpit. At this moment, he looked at the inner side of his left arm. and said: "Sha'er, the direct blood of our Ying family has such a birthmark in the same place. This is the curse of our Ying family and the source of strength for our Ying family. Look at your left arm." Is there an identical birthmark in the same part of the body?"
Misha didn't even need to look to know that she had the same birthmark as a middle-aged person. In fact, Misha had realized since she was rescued by Al that she might not be the daughter of her parents as she thought. Misha has always denied it to herself.
Shaking his head slowly, two tears flowed down Misha's cheeks. Seeing Misha's appearance, the middle-aged man and Al sighed almost at the same time.
At this time, Al stretched out his hand and patted Misha's shoulder lightly, and said, "Misha, take heart, some things have to be faced, not to mention...he is your father after all, don't you want to see him?" Your relatives? I remember when you were still on the Western Continent, you told me that it would be great if you could have some brothers, sisters, or relatives. Now your wish has come true. Not only do you have relatives, but you also have relatives. Shouldn't you be happy to have a father?"
"But...but..."
"No, but the one sitting in front of you is your father, but the one who died is also your father. Recognizing your real father doesn't mean you have to abandon the previous one, doesn't it?"
Listening to Al's persuasion, Misha gradually stopped crying. She slowly raised her head to look at the middle-aged man and opened her mouth, but found that she still couldn't cry out. Just a little anxious, she found that the middle-aged man He stretched out his hand and gently wiped away the tears on Misha's cheeks. The warm feeling made Misha's chaotic heart instantly calm down.
Looking at Misha and the middle-aged man, Al smiled slightly, and exchanged glances with Jiang Quan. The two left the stone table together, leaving a place for Misha and the middle-aged man to have a good conversation.
As for the snow-free space originally created by Al, it did not disappear with Al's departure. There is a middle-aged person who can't see the depth of Al, so some snowflakes are naturally not a problem. (To be continued.)
