Hai Zhuming, who was wiping away her tears, looked up with reddened eyes at Lu Zixun, "Is he... okay?"
"Uh..." Lu Zixun hesitated for a moment before continuing, "When I saw him, he was fine."
"That's good." Relieved, Hai Zhuming's face showed that her sadness had dissipated significantly.
It seemed she also understood that the parents she met in this Different Space were never her real parents.
Seeing Hai Zhuming's tearful laughter, Lu Zixun's mouth twitched. Was that all?
Didn't she even think to ask what task Hai Lanyue had entrusted?
But hearing that Hai Lanyue was safe, Hai Zhuming's expression had calmed down quite a bit. After all, she was just an eighteen-year-old child.
After thinking it over, Lu Zixun, seeing how Hai Zhuming was behaving, still spoke up, "Your father asked me to protect you."
"You protect me?" Hai Zhuming, sizing up Lu Zixun who didn't possess any trace of Spiritual Energy, covered her mouth and snickered, "Shouldn't it be me protecting you?"
