The only thing that gave them confidence was the resonance of the Banishing Blades.
The powerful soul-shaking power produced by the resonance allowed them to clearly feel the potential contained in the four immortal-slaying swords.
Once everything was ready to absorb the vital crystals, Li Ke spoke. "First we'll help you improve your cultivation. Once you've all reached Nirvana, I'll bestow Ultus' legacy to Lan Qing.
Then you'll begin the real training. "
Lan Qing nodded. The Pharmacist, on the other hand, looked sad. Li Ke had spoken so casually, but she knew that if the inheritance changed hands, it would mean the end of Li Ke's soul. In fact, they could all sense that Li Ke's soul wasn't solid. It could dissipate at any moment.
"Qian Lin and I will protect you," Lan Jue said. "Qian Lin's Domain will be of help."
Lan Qing nodded. The Pharmacist nodded as well.
"Thank you, Lan Jue," Li Ke said.
"It's what I'm supposed to do," Lan Jue said without thinking.
"I meant Jun 'er."
Li Ke's eyes were bitter. "I've never done my duty as a father. You've done it for me.
Thank you.
I didn't acknowledge Jun 'er today because she already has a father like you.
Don't get me wrong. What I mean is that you are much more competent than I am, and more suitable for her to call father than I am.
I owe her too much, too much.
I don't want her to be affected by me. I don't want her to be sad. "
Lan Jue stared at him in amazement. What a mother and father, he thought to himself.
If he hadn't met with misfortune.
Her brother-in-law was a hero of his generation.
"But …" Li Ke hesitated.
He lowered his head.
"Could I trouble you to bring Jun 'er back here for me? I'll just watch her from a distance. I won't say a word. Is that alright?"
After saying the last sentence, his voice clearly trembled a little. Because of his emotional agitation, his body began to appear faintly discernible.
Lan Jue looked at the Pharmacist.
The Pharmacist, however, turned her head away.
Lan Jue nodded. "Alright, I'll bring her over." With that, he turned and walked out.
After a few steps, Lan Jue suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Li Ke.
"Brother Li, perhaps I should call you brother-in-law. What I have to say is, do you really think that Jun'er doesn't know that you're back?
Although this child is still young, he is still very young.
However, how could her intelligence be comparable to that of an ordinary person?
Furthermore …
She also had the inheritance of the Clairvoyant.
She already knew. The reason why she didn't say anything was because she didn't want you to be even sadder, or perhaps it was her own self-protection. "
Li Ke and the Pharmacist looked at Lan Jue in shock.
Jun'er already knows?
Did she already know?
Li Ke's eyes widened in surprise. The Pharmacist couldn't help but look at Lan Jue.
She suddenly felt that she had neglected her daughter. She didn't understand her as well as Lan Jue did.
Lan Jue looked at Li Ke, then back at the Pharmacist. "Jun'er is a pitiful child, but she's more mature than you think.
I think you shouldn't just live in your own world. You should ask her what she thinks.
Perhaps, brother-in-law, you think that telling her everything is hurtful to her, but if you don't even say a word to her when she already knows that you're back, in fact, it's even more hurtful to her!
I hope you can have a good talk with her. Even if she is very sad now, at least in her memory, she has seen her father. Her father has really come back.
Your family was reunited. "
"Of course, I will always be Jun'er's father. That will never change. I will protect her with my life. So long as I live, I won't let anyone bully her."
Lan Jue's words struck Li Ke like he'd been struck by lightning. He stared at Lan Jue, unsure of what to say.
"I think Ah Jue is right. Some things must be faced.
For a child, what you think is good isn't necessarily good. "Lan Qing's voice was low.
Li Ke floated in the air, unsure of what to say. He didn't even know how to face the situation.
His whole body was in a daze.
Lan Jue didn't wait for an answer. She turned and left to fetch Jun'er.
Li Ke's decision was up to him, but he would bring Jun'er to see him.
After all, they were father and daughter!
When Lan Jue returned with Jun'er in her arms, there were a few more people in the control room.
Lin Guo-guo had been invited, along with Kerr and Xiu Xiu.
Lin Guo-guo had been summoned by Lan Jue. After the process was complete, she would be responsible for erasing the Pharmacist and Lan Qing's memories of the process.
Lin Guoguo, the Psychic Tide, was the strongest in the Allied Army when it came to spiritual abilities.
Xiu Xiu and Kerr had accompanied her.
They hadn't seen Lan Jue in a long time, and it was a good opportunity to see their boss.
With Mika gone, only the three of Zeus's Amazons remained.
Jun'er was dressed in a white princess dress. Her hair was neatly combed back in a ponytail. Her large eyes were lifeless, but they were still beautiful.
There seemed to be an endless world within them, as if they reflected the universe itself.
She held the Eye of Tomorrow in both hands. It had once followed the Clairvoyant to awe the world.
When he saw Jun'er, Li Ke's body shot forward. When he was ten meters from Lan Jue, he stopped.
Lin Guo-guo, Xiu Xiu, and Kerr, who didn't know what was happening, jumped in fright.
Their faces shone with astonishment.
Lan Jue looked at Li Ke as well. Her mouth was directed to Jun'er. "Mama's here, Jun'er. You should stay here and play."
As he spoke, he knelt down and placed Jun'er on the ground. He took her hand and walked towards the Pharmacist.
Li Ke watched as Lan Jue and Jun'er walked past him until they were in front of the Pharmacist. He placed Jun'er's hand in the Pharmacist's.
Jun'er blinked and took her mother's hand.
The Pharmacist looked at her, then at Li Ke. She fought to keep her emotions in check. Her lips trembled, and it took a great deal of willpower to keep from crying.
Jun'er's face was calm, as if she knew nothing. She lifted the Eye of Tomorrow's hand to Lan Jue. "Daddy, can you hold this for me?"
"Alright," Lan Jue answered. She took the Eye of Tomorrow.
In Lan Jue's hands, it looked like an ordinary crystal ball.
"Daddy, come!"
Jun'er called again. But when Lan Jue looked at her, she saw that her hand wasn't reaching for her. One was holding the Pharmacist's hand, and the other was reaching towards Li Ke.
This scene caused everyone present to shudder in shock.
Li Ke stared at Jun'er in disbelief. He rubbed his eyes to make sure his eyes weren't playing tricks on him. Jun'er was waving at him.
The Pharmacist looked to Lan Jue, but Lan Jue shook her head. She wasn't the one who told Jun'er.
Everyone thought back to what Lan Jue had told them. Jun'er already knew Li Ke was coming.
Yes!
She was the Clairvoyant of this generation, the inheritor of the Eye of Tomorrow. How could she not know about an existence so closely related to her own bloodline?
"Jun- Jun'er …" Li Ke muttered to himself. Suddenly, he flew towards Jun'er like a bolt of lightning. Jun'er was right in front of him. He knew he couldn't touch his daughter, but he opened his arms wide and tried to embrace her.
Everyone's eyes reddened at the sight. He was a father, and yet he couldn't embrace his daughter. It was a tragedy.
Jun'er seemed very calm. She even had a faint smile on her face. She opened her arms as if to hug Li Ke as well. Strangely enough, her arms were on both sides of Li Ke's illusory body, without the slightest deviation.
She couldn't see!
"I can feel you, daddy.
Don't be sad, daddy. It's good that you're back. "Jun'er smiled.
The Pharmacist couldn't control her emotions any longer. She threw herself into Zhou Qianlin's arms and began to weep.
Li Ke's body shook violently. He felt as if his soul was on fire. Nothing else mattered. What Ultus? What Marauder? What Ultus? In the face of his daughter's cry for her father, nothing mattered.
The sorrow in his heart was gone. To hear his daughter call him daddy was worth it. Everything was worth it.
Li Ke choked on his sobs. He couldn't speak. He kept opening and closing his arms, trying to hold his daughter.
Jun'er just stood there, a sweet smile on her face.
"Daddy, don't cry. Our family reunion is a happy occasion!
Don't worry, I'll take good care of mommy.
You have to take good care of her too. "
Jun 'er's murmur was so pleasant to the ears.
Li Ke hated himself. He hated himself for participating in that mission. If it hadn't been for that mission, he would have been able to hold his daughter every day. She wouldn't have lost her sight.
But there was no medicine for regret in this world.
Jun'er gently lifted her arm and placed it on Li Ke's face.
"Dad, go do what you need to do. I'll wait for you here, okay?" (To be continued.)
