The Wine Master nodded. "Not so good.
Before she became a Paragon, she was known as the Little Pepper.
She was known as the Little Pepper. "
Lan Jue nodded. "So I'll try, but there's not much I can do.
I want to live a few more years. "
The Wine Master chuckled bitterly. "Do your best.
If you have more news, let me know as soon as you can. Tell my aunt that the Clairvoyant isn't going to last much longer. She'll do what she wants. "
"Alright." Lan Jue was more than capable of doing that.
Right at this moment, a powerful energy fluctuation suddenly came from outside. A circle of black light lit up, and the black hole appeared again. Then, two figures appeared on the lawn outside.
They were in free fall. The first to fall out was Jueti. His shirt was gone, revealing his muscular torso. His pants were a mess.
Roxanne landed on top of him. Jueti caught her in his arms. She struggled, but couldn't break free.
"Let me go if you dare!" Roxanne snarled.
Jueti smiled wryly. "Then don't make a scene. If you don't, I'll let you go."
"Alright." Roxanne's answer was quick.
Jueti released her.
But Roxanne rolled over, pinning him beneath her. She bit down on his shoulder.
"Ouch! How dare you bite me!" Jueti yelped in pain.
Although with his physical defense, not to mention being bitten by a human, even a ferocious beast wouldn't be able to bite him. But when facing Luo Xianni, he was clearly afraid to use his cultivation to shake her off.
Lan Jue blindfolded himself and made his way to the back room.
There were some things that he shouldn't see too clearly, lest he brought unnecessary trouble.
After a long while, the sound of a door opening came from outside.
"Get out here, you bastard!
Hurry up. "Jueti's exasperated voice rang out.
Lan Jue felt as if he had returned to his childhood when his father abused him and his brother every day. However, this feeling made him feel especially close, and he hurriedly walked out of the room.
"What's wrong, Dad?"
Jueti and Roxanne, one in front and one at the back, both looked a little disheveled. Roxanne looked better, at least her clothes were neat.
Jueti looked as if he had been robbed. Needless to say, he was in a sorry state.
Jueti snapped, "You're still calling me father? Look at how much trouble you've caused me.
Xianni, feel free to test him. He really isn't related to me by blood at all.
I adopted both of them when they were young. They are my disciples and also my adopted sons! "
Seeing that Jueti was trying to disassociate himself from this matter, with Lan Jue's intelligence, how could she not see that this Senior Luo in front of her and her father must have some unspeakable stories? She hurriedly said, "Yes, yes!
I really don't have any blood relations with father. "
Roxanne coldly snorted, "It's best if you don't.
If you do, I'll castrate him! "
Jueti suddenly felt a certain flower tighten, and hurriedly said, "Can't you give me some face in front of the younger generation?"
"Then what about my youth?
I've been looking for you for a full thirty-six years.
You're still talking to me about face? "Roxanne angrily roared, and in her eyes, there was a faint mist of tears.
You've been looking for me for thirty-six years. Dad, are you good?
Lan Jue secretly cursed in her heart.
At the same time, she couldn't help but sigh. Wasn't this an undeserved disaster?
She had originally come back to see her father, but in the end, she encountered this kind of thing.
"Dad, you see, why don't you and Senior Luo chat first?
I'll go out for a walk. I haven't been back for a long time anyway. "As he spoke, he quickly walked out.
"Wait!" Roxanne suddenly called out.
Lan Jue discovered that she was starting to hate these three words.
"What can I do for you?" Lan Jue smiled apologetically.
Roxanne looked at him with a puzzled gaze, "How do you know my surname is Luo?
Did he tell you?
And then you guessed it? "
Lan Jue glanced at her father, and Jueti immediately gave her a look.
Lan Jue understood and said, "That's right!
My father told me about it. He always said that he once had a confidante.
She was the most beautiful woman in the world.
Her name was Roxanne.
When I saw you today, I naturally recognized her. "
Roxanne snorted disdainfully, "Don't give me that. Even a three-year-old child wouldn't be fooled by those words of yours.
If he had even the slightest bit of feelings for me.
Can he not come to find me?
Others can't find me, but can he not?
Tell me the truth! "
Lan Jue glanced at Jueti.
Jueti had already turned his head away, clutching his forehead.
"The Wine Master told me. I just asked him." Lan Jue had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Wine Master?"
Roxanne paused when she heard the name. Her eyes flashed with recollection, and her fierce aura weakened. "You're also a member of Skyfire Avenue?
What's your title? "
Lan Jue: "Jewelry Master."
Roxanne turned to Jueti. "Chi Bupang, at least you have a conscience. At least you know to send a disciple to Skyfire Avenue."
Jueti sighed. "I'm sorry.
Things change with the passage of time. Let's not bring up the past. "
Lan Jue gaped at him. Dad, you weren't the one who sent me to Skyfire Avenue!
No wonder he was clutching his forehead. When it came to acting, she and her father weren't even on the same level!
Roxanne snorted. "Don't bring up the past?
In your dreams. Now that I've found you, unless you kill me, I'll make sure you never have a day of peace. You'll never have a chance to rise again! "
What grudge, what grudge?
Lan Jue gulped. She stealthily crept towards the door. It was best if she didn't get involved in the grudge between these two. She didn't want to be caught in the crossfire.
Jueti walked to the side and sat down. "Xianni, you've hit him, you've cursed him. Sit down and have a cup of water."
Roxanne huffed and sat down not far from him. The teeth marks on Jueti's shoulder were clear. It was a strange sight.
Lan Jue wanted to take a picture of her father and send it to Lan Qing. She wanted to show Lan Qing that her father would have such a day!
Jueti snorted. "Get out!"
Lan Jue turned and ran. He didn't want to stay a second longer.
The atmosphere was so strange that it made one feel extremely painful.
He heaved a sigh of relief when he got out of the house. He ran towards the forest in the distance without hesitation. He didn't want to know about the relationship between his father and Roxanne. There was something between these two rulers. It must have something to do with their relationship. He didn't expect that his father, who didn't seem to be interested in women, would have such a woman as his confidante!
Moreover, they seemed to be bitter lovers.
Breathing in the familiar air, Lan Jue ran all the way to a big tree and stopped. This tree was very lush. She couldn't see the top of the tree. The huge canopy provided a large area of shade. The thick tree trunk was so thick that it would take more than ten people to wrap their arms around it.
Lan Jue leaned against the tree and sat down. He still remembered that he and his brother had been hung here and beaten. Then, his father had made them dodge in the air.
What he meant by 'dodge' was to shake the ropes around their feet to avoid the whips.
That time, they were covered in bruises.
They'd been hung there for a dozen days. Every day they'd been whipped, soaked in potions, whipped again, soaked in potions again.
They'd been tormented until they were on the brink of death.
Even now when he thought back to it, he couldn't help but cringe. But he had to admit that their reactions had improved by at least twenty percent.
It could be said that this forest was filled with memories. Memories of him and Lan Qing.
Things had changed over time, and now that they were here again, it felt different.
His father was getting on in years. He'd become easygoing, even nostalgic.
Lan Jue felt like a boulder was weighing down on his heart.
No one knew exactly how old Jue Di was, but Lan Jue knew that even a Paragon would eventually reach the end of his life.
Could it be that Father had already started to reach that stage?
That wasn't something he wanted to see!
Even if the memories of the past weren't good, he and his brother wouldn't be where they were today without his father.
Besides, the kindness of his upbringing was more important than anything else.
They didn't have a loving mother, they had a strict father.
Lan Jue pressed a button on his communicator and dialed Lan Qing's number. He knew Lan Qing was busy, but it was a natural choice.
"Beep beep beep!"
The call connected. It rang a dozen times, and Lan Jue was about to hang up when Lan Qing's voice answered on the other end.
"You're back?" Lan Qing asked.
"Yeah.
I'm back. "Lan Jue nodded.
"Father, he …" Lan Qing's voice contained a rare hint of hesitation.
"He's changed. He hugged me."
Lan Jue's voice was bitter, and he told his brother everything that had happened since he'd returned.
"Dad's getting old." Lan Jue sighed.
"…" Lan Qing was silent.
After a while, Lan Jue broke the silence. "Brother, how are things on your end?"
Lan Qing replied. "Everything's calm for now. From what we've gathered so far, even if the alien planets do show up, their first target will be the Northern Alliance.
We've reached an agreement with the Northern Alliance that if they show up, we'll send reinforcements.
We're sending more troops and training. "
Lan Jue said, "I'm going to help you when I'm done with dad."
"Don't come," Lan Qing said. "You're not a soldier."
Lan Jue said stubbornly. "It's not too late to join the army, is it?"
Lan Qing was silent for a moment. "I don't want you to come."
