The Way of The Dao

"A long, long time ago, a man and a woman found a small unconscious child in a place near their home..."

The unexpected change of topic took the women by surprise. However, they did not interrupt him and let him continue to talk about what he wanted to say to them.

Yun Mengxin also looked at him without letting go of his hand. Although she knew some things because of the sharing of memories when their souls combined due to the Dual Cultivation Technique which is the <Yin-Yang of the Heart> Immortal Secret Art, Yun Mengxin still did not know many things about him because her soul could not capture all the memories of him, so she also listened to him carefully.

Ling Tian looked for a few seconds at each of the women as he gathered courage within himself to continue talking.

He could not help but feel a slight fear that they might be disappointed in him and somewhat afraid of him because of all he had done in his life.

Who would not be afraid of someone who has killed countless people?

Who would not be afraid of someone who could make an entire city disappear with one breath?

Who would not be afraid of someone who could eliminate a small world with a single movement of a hand?

Who wouldn't be afraid of someone who has lived for a long time?

Who wouldn't be afraid of someone who has become a monster?

Who would not be afraid of someone who has become a demon by committing countless ruthless acts?

The fear began to grow gradually within him, not wanting to be rejected by them later.

However, watching their eyes that paid attention to him and at the same time transmitted love and affection, Ling Tian could no longer hide the truth from them.

He wanted to be honest with them. They were his women, the women who would accompany him throughout his life. He should not keep secrets from them!

Ling Tian felt Yun Mengxin lightly squeeze his hand and, turning to look into her eyes again, he could see that she was nodding lovingly to him, increasing his courage at this moment.

Ling Tian took another deep breath before continuing again.

"That man and woman did not hesitate to take that child home even though his body was completely stained with blood and most of his clothes were torn and destroyed. When they checked his body because the child was full of blood, they were surprised that there was no trace of even the slightest wound on his entire body after they cleaned and bathed him.

The child appeared to be about 8 years old. He was unconscious for almost a month.

When the child finally woke up, he could not remember anything about his life or the last thing he had done. He had lost his memory...

He did not remember anyone in his family, not even his mother or father or anyone he remembered. It is as if that child's mind was a blank without any memory of his identity.

The child only had a striking medallion around his neck with a name written on it, but nothing else.

With no more clues or other options to help the child find his family again, the woman and man decided to stay with him.

They were a happy marriage and had a daughter about 12 years old.

That family lived in a very small town where everyone was a big family.

Since that child had no memory of his previous family or anything he remembered before he woke up, he quickly attached himself to that big family thinking that it really was his family, since those people treated him with a lot of love and affection.

The man and the woman, who from that moment on would become his parents, told him that he had had an accident and that because of that he had lost his memory and could not remember them. The child believed them and began to live with them happily.

Time passed quickly and the child lived happily with that great family.

Funnily enough, the name that was written on his medallion was the same main name of that whole family that they used as their last name. After thinking about it for a long time, his adoptive mother gave him a name with the meaning that he would fly to the heavens and be on top of it, becoming a great man in the future..."

Ling Tian smiled lovingly as he remembered the face of his adoptive mother, who always loved him and gave him everything to make him happy.

The girls opened their eyes in surprise, beginning to understand what Ling Tian was confessing to them at this moment.

"His adoptive mother always spoiled him by giving him so much love, even to the point that everyone knew he was 'Mommy's favorite'. His adoptive father always played with him when he could and also taught him many things a man should do so that when he grew up he would be a good and worthwhile man. His adoptive big sister always treated him with a lot of love and affection, buying him many things and playing with him every day. She would even fight with their mother because each one of them wanted to spend more time with him and, as time went by, that girl's cunning and boldness grew to the point of saying that she would marry her little brother and that's why he should spend more time with her than with mom."

Ling Tian couldn't help but have a little laugh when he remembered that.

"Time went by and the love of the family grew deeper and deeper.

The child would always be treated and loved with care wherever he went.

That small place housed about fifty people who were all one family. Therefore, that child had many uncles, aunts, cousins, and even had a grandfather and grandmother!

The child was very happy, as happy as a child of his age should be.

However, as time passed, he slowly began to realize that he was very different from all of them.

Obviously they all knew about his situation and his memory loss, but even so, they were so sincere and honest that they loved him as if the child were from their own family, even to the point of becoming the most loved and cherished person in the whole family, the most beloved nephew, the most beloved cousin, the grandparents' favorite grandson!

It cannot be stressed enough that those who loved him most were his parents and his big sister.

Even at the parties they held each year, it seemed that that child's birthday party was the biggest and grandest of any family member!

Because of all the immense and endless love they gave him, he decided that no matter what happens, they will always be his family and he will try to give them all the love too.

The years passed happily, with the child growing up healthy and strong, learning many things and living with his family.

The date arrived when the child reached 12 years old and they celebrated a big party where everyone gathered as always, discussing how big the child had grown and above all becoming more handsome according to the opinion of the grandmother and all the aunts. Needless to say, his adoptive mother always said that her son was the most handsome boy in the whole world.

The child lived happily with the whole family, always feeling happy and thinking that the future would be so happy and great.

However, one day, a tragedy struck that small place."
