Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

“Immortal Brother?”

Hearing Xiao Ling'er's call, Xiao Fang seemed to recall something as well, his face instantly showing excitement as he exclaimed, “You… …You really are Immortal Brother?”

“Hmm? Immortal Brother?” Hearing the two address him like this, Chen Tian frowned slightly, appearing somewhat puzzled.

Looking at Chen Tian's expression, Xiao Ling'er paused for a moment, then immediately pulled out an extremely shriveled candied hawthorn from her bosom.

This candied hawthorn had clearly endured a long time; its original rosy and glossy color had slowly faded away over the years, turning pitch black, and only from its vague shape could one discern that it was once a hawthorn fruit.

“So you still kept it!” Seeing Xiao Ling'er take out the candied hawthorn, Chen Tian seemed to finally understand everything, and a light smile appeared on his face.

Originally, according to Chen Tian's personality, he would never have participated in this conflict, but it was only after seeing Xiao Fang and Xiao Ling'er that Chen Tian changed his mind and decided to save them.

It turned out that these two were the two little beggars Chen Tian had encountered in Ji City.

At that time, the two were only five or six years old, and due to chronic malnutrition, they looked emaciated, almost on the verge of starvation.

Chen Tian saw the shadows of himself and Xiaolong in them at the time, and a moment of compassion moved him, so he bought a string of candied hawthorns and gave it to them, and before parting, he also left them ten taels of silver and a《Ascension Sutra》 cultivation method.

All of this was originally just a casual act by Chen Tian, but he never expected that after so many years, Chen Tian would actually find them here again! So he changed his itinerary and came down to save their lives.

Now it seems that these two should also have extremely high comprehension. After Chen Tian left, they independently cultivated the 《Ascension Sutra》and experienced a series of magical events, eventually joining the Immortal Crane Sect.

It's just that in their hearts, Chen Tian was the great benefactor who gave them a new life, so after recognizing Chen Tian, they called Chen Tian "Immortal Brother."

Speaking of which, these two have a great destiny with Chen Tian.

If Chen Tian had arrived a moment later, I'm afraid that these two, as well as those Immortal Crane Sect disciples, would have all died here.

The joy of surviving a disaster, coupled with the excitement of reuniting with Chen Tian, made Xiao Fang and Xiao Ling'er extremely excited.

After all, they dreamed of seeing Chen Tian again, and they never expected that their wish would be fulfilled today.

After being excited for a while, Xiao Ling'er took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and she happily smiled, "This candied hawthorn was bought for us by Immortal Brother back then.

If it weren't for it, I'm afraid that our brother and sister would have starved to death on the streets long ago.

So, neither my brother nor I could bear to eat this last candied hawthorn, but instead treasured it, so that whenever we see it, we can think of you, Immortal Brother."

As she spoke, Xiao Ling'er gripped the shriveled candied hawthorn even tighter.

Indeed, although they later learned magic and joined the Immortal Crane Sect, this candied hawthorn was still carefully protected by them.

Candied hawthorns are mundane objects, and over time, they will naturally dissipate in the wind and rot into mud, but in order to preserve this candied hawthorn, the two of them did not hesitate to spend a huge amount of immortal crystal stones on it.

Their actions were naturally met with doubts and ridicule from many Immortal Crane Sect disciples, who ridiculed the brother and sister for being stupid, spending such precious immortal crystal stones on a useless candied hawthorn.

However, the two of them did not pay any attention to all the doubts and ridicule around them, because only they themselves knew how precious this candied hawthorn was to them.

After all, in the hearts of the two, this is no longer a simple candied hawthorn, but an incarnation and symbol of Chen Tian.

They felt that only by keeping this candied hawthorn would they have the chance to meet Chen Tian again in the future.

“Could it be that all of this is really an arrangement of fate?”

After listening to the two's explanation, Chen Tian's heart couldn't help but be moved by it, and he couldn't help but turn his head and look at the candied hawthorn on his palm that had been extremely corrupted.

However, at this moment, a breeze suddenly blew from a distance, blowing on the candied hawthorn in Chen Tian's palm, causing it to immediately turn into countless dust and be blown away in the wind.

In any case, this candied hawthorn was just a mundane object, and now hundreds of years have passed.

Although Xiao Fang and Xiao Ling'er had carefully cared for it, it had always reached its limit, and at this time it could no longer support it and dissipated in front of everyone.

Seeing this scene, a sense of regret suddenly surged in the hearts of Xiao Fang and Xiao Ling'er, but soon, this regret was replaced by endless excitement.

After all, they kept this candied hawthorn only as an incarnation of Chen Tian, and now Chen Tian is standing alive in front of them, what else are they dissatisfied with?

“Xiao Fang, Ling'er, this senior is… …?”

After some recuperation, the Transformation Spring Realm elder finally recovered some, and now he walked over and asked in confusion.

Hearing the elder's question, Xiao Fang's face was filled with excitement, and he immediately said, "Reporting to Master, this person is the one who gave me and Ling'er the《Ascension Sutra》 back then.

If it weren't for him, Ling'er and I would have starved to death back then.”

“What? So it was him!” Obviously, the elder had already learned about Chen Tian's deeds from Xiao Fang, so when he heard this sentence, he also showed a look of surprise, and did not dare to neglect, and respectfully said to Chen Tian, "This senior, you saved Xiao Fang and Ling'er's lives back then, and now you have saved our Immortal Crane Sect's life.

This kindness, our Immortal Crane Sect has no way to repay, please accept this old man's bow.”

As he said that, the elder bent down, intending to kneel down to Chen Tian.

However, just as his knees had just bent down, Chen Tian waved his plain hand and emitted a soft golden light, holding him up again, his expression calm and composed, "You don't need to be so polite, it's just that I have something I don't understand, and I hope that your Excellency can enlighten me?”
