As the new year approached, the imperial city of Nanyue Empire was in a festive mood. There were lanterns and colored banners everywhere. The streets were bustling with people and there was an endless stream of horses and carriages.
Qinchuan's Forging God Hall was open and business was normal. As the new year approached, there were even more guests. The female grand tutor had always been at Qinchuan's place. Apart from cooking, she spent most of her time deducing formations.
The sixth step of the nine heaven-defying steps had stabilized. This was a huge improvement and was much stronger than the fifth step.
She would also drink with Young Shi in between. Young Shi had entered secluded meditation 10 days ago.
The female grand tutor didn't want to do so before the new year and was prepared to do so after the new year.
Now, Qinchuan's days were very leisurely. Grade 7 formations, Grade 7 talismans, Grade 3 Overwhelming Tyrant Body, Yin Yang Grand Dao that had reached perfection …
"Mister!"
Just as Qinchuan was in a daze, a gentle voice rang out. Qinchuan turned his head and saw the female grand tutor.
The new year was approaching but she still wore the Water Moon Immortal Robe. It had a purifying effect and she didn't need to worry about getting dirty. She would always be spotless.
"What is it, Wuchen?" Qinchuan smiled.
After spending half a year together, Qinchuan and her were very familiar with each other. He also knew her name. It was a very strange name, Wuchen.
This name made Qinchuan feel weird. It really matched her constitution.
"I want to go out for a stroll. Come with me!" Wuchen looked at Qinchuan and said.
Qinchuan was stunned but he smiled right away, "Okay!"
It was almost the New Year. The two of them walked on the streets, and there were people everywhere. They didn't know when it started, but the sky was filled with snowflakes, and the pavilions and trees were in full bloom. In this world of ice and snow, they were indescribably tall and straight. They stood in the wind and bloomed with a cold beauty.
Wuchen didn't speak much. She looked around and walked shoulder to shoulder with Qinchuan. She was very quiet and didn't speak much. She looked at the streets and everything around her. Occasionally, she would be in a daze.
Qinchuan understood her. Even if he stood beside her in the bustling city, her heart was still cold. She was alone, and her heart was lonely.
"Qinchuan, do you think it's possible for me to destroy Tiandu Palace?" Dustless asked softly.
Qinchuan was not surprised. He had seen the look in her eyes before and knew that there must be a grudge between her and Tiandu Palace. He just did not know what kind of grudge it was, but he knew that the resentment seemed to be very deep. He hesitated for a moment and said, "After the New Year, if there are no accidents, you will break through to the Overlord Tier. At that time, you will be able to destroy Tiandu Palace."
"But Mother didn't let me look for them before she left. She didn't let me …" Wuchen sighed heavily.
Qinchuan didn't say anything, nor did he ask. He just listened quietly.
"To be honest, Lang Man Tian is my father. Do you think I should kill him? He abandoned my mother, but my mother loved him very much. He abandoned my mother for a woman. That woman was very powerful and also very sinister. She secretly killed my mother and my mother's family …" Wu Chen said softly.
She seemed to be talking to Qinchuan, but it was also as if she was talking to the air. She was very sad.
Qinchuan knew she was lonely, but he had not expected her life to be like this. He did not know what to say.
"Sir, if you were me, what would you do?" Wuchen asked softly.
Qinchuan thought about it and said, "You killed my father and mother. I don't care what you do. As long as you have no regrets, do it."
Qinchuan did not understand. He also felt that this was a difficult matter. After all, this involved Romantic Sky and Lang Jingfeng. It all depended on Wuchen's feelings for Lang Man Tian.
"He doesn't know me, and he doesn't love me. When I was young, he liked me. Why did he suddenly change so much?" Wuchen said softly.
Qinchuan knew she was talking about Lang Man Tian, the man she should call father.
"Do you still love him?" Qinchuan asked softly.
"I don't know!"
"Then you love him. If you don't love him, you'll know," Qinchuan said.
Wuchen was silent.
"That's why. You don't want him to be sad. You're afraid that if you kill him, you'll become enemies with Lang Jingfeng …" Qinchuan said softly.
Wuchen looked at Qinchuan. "Every time I think of my mother's face before she died, and I see my grandfather and grandmother's family being slaughtered, my heart feels like it's being cut by a knife. I didn't have the power before. If I had the power to take revenge and didn't do it, I would have died."
"Then take revenge. Every grievance has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. Be free to repay kindness and enmity with no regrets. Comprehend the true meaning of life and live your true nature. What are you afraid of? What are you worried about?
"My mother told me not to take revenge before she died."
"Was that your mother's true wish?" Qinchuan asked.
"She just didn't want to see us father and daughter fight. She didn't want to see me die in their hands." Wuchen said softly.
Qinchuan didn't say anything.
Wuchen looked at Qinchuan. "Thank you, Sir. I know what to do."
Qinchuan smiled and didn't say anything else.
Every family had their own problems. He really didn't want to do such a thing because he felt that Wuchen was still fantasizing about Lang Man Tian.
But reality was really cruel. As for what was going on, Qinchuan didn't know either.
Love and hate happened in an instant. Love to the extreme was hate, hate to the extreme was love …
…
New Year passed unknowingly. Wuchen was in secluded meditation. She was really happy this New Year. It had been many years and she had always been alone …
Mu Biao's strength improved really quickly. With the pills that Qinchuan provided, he broke through two small realms. His combat strength increased by a lot.
Today, a bunch of Gale Beast Kings appeared outside the God Forging Hall.
Qinchuan was stunned.
A beautiful girl with bright eyes and white teeth appeared in the God Forging Hall.
She had a picturesque face and crystal-like eyes. En, the more Qinchuan looked at her, the more familiar she felt.
"Father!"
When the girl saw Qinchuan, her eyes turned red. Qinchuan's appearance didn't change much. The girl pounced onto Qinchuan right away.
"Baby?" Qinchuan's eyes were filled with shock and surprise.
"En en, I am the baby. Father, it really is you. I thought that it was just the same name. Father, I miss you …" The girl said emotionally.
Qinchuan hugged her. When he left, she was just a few years old. He didn't expect that she would grow up now.
After a long time!
"Where's your mother?" Qinchuan asked softly.
"Mother, mother is in the Hundred Flower Palace. Grandmother won't let her out." The girl said dejectedly.
"Where is the Hundred Flower Palace?" Qinchuan was very excited and his voice was trembling.
"In the Spirit Flower City!"
Qinchuan smiled bitterly. He knew about the Spirit Flower City and many people knew about it. The Spirit Flower City was at the northernmost part of the Northern Spiritual Region. Qinchuan had always wanted to go there, but he didn't have the time. It was the most famous city in the Northern Spiritual Region.
Since he had decided, he prepared to leave immediately.
But Wuchen was still in secluded meditation.
Qinchuan looked at Mu Biao: "I'm going to leave for a while. I'll pick you up when the time comes."
"Alright, Master, be careful!" Mu Biao said.
