Chapter 4, Mother of Tianlin

Understanding his mother's intentions, Tianlin said: "Mother, rest assured, as long as there is an opportunity, I will learn diligently. If the other party requires me to become their disciple before imparting their ultimate skills, I will not learn from them."

However, upon careful analysis, none of this is surprising. Tianlin's remarkable achievements are due, on one hand, to his exceptional talent, and on the other hand, to the influence of Die Meng.

In response, Tian Lin remained indifferent, his youthful face filled with determination, as white light flowed around him, and a surge of cold energy entered his body from his feet

Understanding the reasoning behind it, Tianlin smiled and said, "Mother, rest assured, in the future, Lin'er will listen to your words and will no longer compete with Linghua and the others as he did before"

Die Dream looked at him and frowned, saying, "Why do you think that way?"

Die Dream said decisively: "No!"

Die Mengxin said, "With your words, Mother is content. Now, let us discuss the matters of Tenglong Valley."

Sitting on the stone bed, Die Meng released her son's small hand and said calmly, "Go ahead, what exciting events have happened today?"

Mother, how do you find my practice of the aerial flip

Die Meng smiled and said: "Just remember, mother is also thinking of you. You are still young, and there are many things you do not yet understand. When you grow up in the future, you will come to know a mother's heartfelt intentions."

Die Meng smiled lightly and said, "If you wish to go, then go. Everything is subject to fate; do not force it. When your mother sent you there, it was partly because there are many people, allowing you to find companions to play with, so as not to feel too lonely. Secondly, it was hoped that you would learn some of their unique skills to conceal the techniques your mother taught you, thus better hiding and protecting yourself."

Die Meng gently said: "In the past, when you were younger, there were some things that I could not discuss with you. Now that you are six years old, and understand many principles that other children do not, it is time for us to have a good talk."

Tian Lin inquired: "Is the Lord of Tenglong Valley also incapable?"

In the early morning, just as the sky began to brighten, Tianlin had already risen. He stepped out of the cave, braving the harsh wind and snow, and flew towards the summit of Tianjiefeng against the fierce gale.

At this moment, Tianlin was serious and composed; at only six years old, he resembled an adult, distinctly different from the mischievous and clever child he had been before.

From the moment he begins to understand the world, he should engage with nature and personally experience everything in the world of ice fields

At the age of three, Tian Lin had already established a certain foundation of righteous energy within him, gradually adapting to the extreme coldness of Tian Nü Peak, allowing him to come and go alone with ease

The butterfly dream frowned slightly and said softly, "Lin'er, are you not worried that Ding Yunyan will go back and ask his master?"

Tianlin Weileng questioned, "The matter of Tenglong Valley? What is there to discuss? Could it be that Mother knows the secrets hidden within the nine great caves?"

Standing at the peak, Tian Lin gazed at the horizon, as the fierce gale surged like a raging wave, threatening to sweep him away

Such a state of mind has been experienced by Die Meng for several months

At the beginning, Tianlin was still unable to adapt and needed Die Meng to protect him with true essence

Unbeknownst to her, Die Meng had developed a fondness for Tian Lin's seriousness and stern demeanor.

Tian Lin noticed her unusual behavior and softly asked, "Mother, what is wrong? Are you missing Father as well?"

Tianlin Dao: "This hetushucom.com child knows, but what of it?"

Tian Lin smiled and said, "He is not foolish; even if he has doubts, he does not dare to ask."

Die Meng cast him a glance, then quickly averted her gaze, looking somewhat resentfully at the stone wall, her expression quite complex

Time flows quietly away

It should have been calm by now, but for some reason, every time she sees Tianlin's focused expression, she becomes extremely excited

From a young age, under the urging of Die Meng, Tian Lin climbed to the summit of Tian Nu Peak every day without interruption, to experience the most magical and terrifying chill of the icy world.

In a moment of light and shadow, Tianlin suddenly stopped, gazing at Die Meng and said: "Mother, you once said that achieving twelve hundred turns would be considered a great success. How has it now changed to three thousand turns?"

Sitting in the snow, Tian Lin's eyes were slightly closed, his hands resting on his thighs, as he formed a hand seal, and a faint blue glow enveloped his entire body

At the top of the cave, a pearl of an inch in diameter is embedded, emitting a soft light that illuminates the four walls; this is the dwelling place of Tianlin

Die Meng suppressed a smile and said seriously: "Because my mother suddenly realized that my son is exceptionally gifted, achieving 1,200 turns is too easy, and he can easily surpass 3,000 turns."

Upon this arrival, with a slight guidance from Die Meng, Tian Lin was easily inspired and thus comprehended the Xuanbing technique

The butterfly dream trembled, and she inwardly asked herself: "Do I miss him?"

With a chuckle, Tian Lin said: "It's not that I don't understand, it's just that being with Lin Fan, Ling Hua, and the others, it makes no difference whether I hide it or not, because they simply cannot see through it."

As Tianlin's mother, Diemeng's strict training of him from a young age is beyond what ordinary people can comprehend

It is hard to believe that a child of just a few years old can learn without any guidance, this seems rather extraordinary

When the butterfly dream awakened, Tianlin had completed the cultivation of the Xuanbing technique, sliding down from the peak and soon arriving at the flat ground

It seems that at this moment, she can always see the reflection of his future growth in Tianlin.

Die Meng revealed a slight smile, yet said, "It's still barely acceptable. When you can spin three thousand times in one breath, then it will be about right."

Tian Lin nodded and said: "Alright, I won't ask. However, I am very curious to know if I still need to go to Tenglong Valley in the future and whether I should learn the unique skills of Tenglong Valley"

It was a very strange feeling, as if transcending time and space, yet also resembling the overlapping of some kind of illusion, leaving one perpetually elusive.

With a serious expression set aside, Die Meng tenderly said: "Do not question the reasons; when you grow up in the future, you will naturally understand your mother's intentions"

"That is for your safety, as I do not wish for you to stand out and attract the jealousy of others. Furthermore, a wise practitioner of the Dao appears foolish; by concealing one's abilities, you can resolve many crises when necessary"

Tian Lin furrowed her brows slightly and asked softly, "Mother, you wouldn't be punishing me on purpose, would you?"

Tian Lin said softly: "Every time I play with Linghua and the others, and I hear them talk about how their parents used to be, I feel very sad, because I do not know the past of my father and mother, so I have always wanted to ask."

Is it a deep concern for one's child, or is there another reason

The butterfly dream led Tianlin to the left, and before long, they arrived at a spacious and tidy large cave. Inside, there was a stone bed and some basic necessities arranged relatively neatly.

Die Meng smiled and said, "With such intelligence, how could a mother bear to punish you?"

Tian Lin expressed some disappointment and, feeling dejected, said: "I thought Mother was going to tell me about your past events."

Tian Lin smiled and said, "Mother, rest assured, every word you say is etched in my heart."

Tian Lin smiled knowingly and briefly recounted the events, concluding with, "Tomorrow morning, I will go to the Ningxue Cave and see what secrets it holds"

Suppressing her distractions, Die Meng softly said: "Do not jump to conclusions; your father has only just left. What I wish to discuss with you is not about him"

Die Meng Danran said: "It is not enough to just speak; you must also take action, so that your mother can feel at ease. Additionally, you must promise your mother one thing: without her consent, you are not allowed to accept any disciple from anyone."

The butterfly dream stood suspended in mid-air, several feet away, gazing at Tianlin with a complex expression.

Nowadays, Tianlin is already impervious to the changing seasons, not only has the righteous spirit developed rapidly, but he has also independently comprehended the profound ice techniques.

Die Meng shot him a glance, then took his hand and walked into the cave while saying, "You, you are just too clever for your own good, always thinking about how to tease others, yet you do not know how to conceal your own shortcomings"

With a graceful smile, Die Meng revealed an aura of purity in her eyes, gently saying: "My child understands these things, so I can rest assured. Now, you should take a break for a while. I will come to call you once I have prepared dinner." With that, she rose and floated away.

Releasing his hand, Tianlin landed with a somersault, spinning several hundred times in the blink of an eye, its speed astonishing to behold

Thus, with exceptional talent and under the pressure of circumstances, Tianlin made remarkable progress in just two to three years, achieving the current accomplishments in literature.

Tianlin Dao: "Alright, Lin'er understands. Mother, do not worry."

Tian Lin, not fully understanding, questioned: "Why must it be hidden? Why can it only be revealed after achieving great success?"

Thus, as a living being, driven by the instinct for survival, Tianlin actively sought to adapt to the environment

Die Meng shook her head and said: "Those mothers do not know; what the mothers know is that Tenglong Valley is reputed to be the foremost of the three wonders of the ice plains, with a history spanning thousands of years and numerous legends circulating about it"

There was no answer, perhaps she herself does not know

Tian Lin, upon hearing this, curiously asked: "Mother, what do you want to discuss with Lin'er? Is it about the glorious deeds of you and Father from back then?"

This point, apart from herself, is likely something that no one else can clarify

Tian Lin ceased his laughter and, understanding, nodded, saying: "Mother's expectations for me, I am well aware of them; I will certainly not let you down"

Die Meng agreed, saying: "Your insight is commendable, but you must remember that human nature is fickle and cannot be relied upon for long."

As they spoke, the two arrived at a fork in the path

Tian Lin questioned, "Is that so? Why do I always feel like I've been taken in?"

Moreover, Die Meng imparted not just one method of the Tian Lin technique, which also played a certain role in promoting his development. As a result, at such a young age, he not only understood more than other children but also bore pressures that his peers did not have to endure

Gently stroking her son's hair, Die Meng said softly: "Do not be sad, nor should you envy them. The story of your father and mother will be told to you when you grow up. For now, what you need to do is to diligently practice the techniques we have taught you, and you must not demonstrate them in public or pass them on to others. Only when you have mastered the techniques can you break this taboo."
