Chapter 4634 Origin
His voice trailed off, and a faint sigh of regret accompanied his next words. "While I was in secluded cultivation, my disciple suffered a devastating calamity and perished, her soul scattered across the vast expanse of the heavens and earth, lost to the cycle of rebirth. Because she was an anomaly, existing outside the conventional order of this world, I believed her essence would drift endlessly until its final dissipation. However, due to your own unique nature as an anomaly, our destinies became intertwined. Through a stroke of extraordinary fortune and accumulated good karma, she was granted a sliver of life and was reborn as your daughter. Upon discovering this, I sought to find a suitable vessel in the lower realm to facilitate her return."
Hearing this revelation, Feng Jiu was visibly taken aback. "Are you saying that my daughter was your disciple in a previous life?" she asked, her tone laced with clear disbelief. "How could that possibly be?"
The man cast a brief glance in her direction and stated slowly, "She was indeed my disciple. Whether you choose to believe it or not is your prerogative; I have no need to deceive you in order to take her away."
Feng Jiu fixed her gaze upon him, her attention drawn to his eyes. She detected a fleeting hint of irritation, as if he were slightly vexed by her doubt, yet there was no trace of evasion or alarm in his expression, only a profound seriousness and depth.
Silence descended between them for a moment before Feng Jiu finally spoke, her voice carrying a note of concern. "If you take her away, can you truly protect her and ensure her safe upbringing? Can you guarantee that she will never again face such peril?"
"You have no need for such worries. I possess the ability to protect her." He replied, exuding confidence.
"Even if these so-called powerful beings you mentioned seek to end her life, you can protect her?" Feng Jiu pressed, her gaze unwavering.
"Before she reaches maturity, I will not allow those ancient fools to discover her lineage. Should they one day uncover the truth, I will exert every ounce of my being to shield her," he declared, his voice calm yet resolute, his eyes meeting Feng Jiu's without hesitation.
Witnessing his unwavering conviction, Feng Jiu conceded, "Very well, I agree to let you take Yue'er away, but not immediately." She looked at him directly. "She has only recently returned to me, and the blood curse afflicting her has not yet been fully eradicated. At least for the present, I cannot bear to part with her."
"My stay here is limited to another half a year. After that, I must return. As for the little girl's blood curse, I can assist in breaking it once I have her with me." He added.
Hearing the remaining time he had, Feng Jiu pursed her lips thoughtfully. Then, upon learning of his ability to break the blood curse, she nodded. "I understand." She rose to her feet, paused briefly, and then turned back to him. "Who are you? You still haven't told me."
"It is better that you remain unaware," he replied, shaking his head. He stood up, retrieved his mask, and placed it back over his face. "There is no benefit in you knowing. Simply trust that I will not harm your daughter. If you fear that you will never see her again, rest assured that you will have the opportunity after your own ascension."
The mention of ascension caused Feng Jiu's eyes to flicker with interest, a stirring in her heart. "Since you possess the means to take Yue'er with you, then take my son as well!" She exclaimed. "They are twins and share a deep bond. With Chen'er by her side, she will not be lonely."
Hearing this request, the man glanced at Feng Jiu, his hands still clasped behind his back. "You are quite astute. You are not perhaps considering asking me to take your eldest son along as well, are you?" He posed the question casually, but to his surprise, a smile bloomed on her face.
"The thought did cross my mind," she admitted, "but Hao'er has his own biological parents. I must first seek Hao'er's opinion and inform his parents, so..."
