“Dad, even if you keep me by your side, I won’t slack off!” Choking back tears, Long Haochen bent over in pain, his hands digging fiercely into the ground, his emotions unable to calm down for a long time.

It took the time it would take to eat a meal before Long Haochen got up from the ground. His personality was actually very strong, but what mattered most to him was his feelings. Without any warning, the sudden departure of his father and mother was too much for him to accept.

Standing up, Long Haochen’s gaze was somewhat lost. The various events that had occurred in the past two years, his father’s strictness, his mother’s tenderness, constantly surfaced in his mind.

“Why are happy and joyful days always so short?” Tears almost fell again, and at that moment, Long Haochen saw two letters on the wooden table not far in front of him.

He rushed forward in a few steps and grabbed the letters.

The envelopes were labeled “For Haochen” and “To Nalan Shu” respectively. Clearly, one letter was for him, and the other was for the Hall Master of the Haoyue Sub-Hall.

Long Haochen calmed down slightly before slowly opening the letter left by his parents.

“Haochen, by the time you read this letter, your mother and I will have already left. Neither of us wanted to face the pain of parting. Separation is only temporary. You have grown up, you are a man, you must be strong. From now on, you can only rely on your own strength.”

“After reading this letter, go directly to Haoyue City and learn the various skills of a Guardian Knight at the Haoyue Sub-Hall. There is an excellent instructor there. Remember, unless absolutely necessary, do not easily reveal that you are also a Retribution Knight. I will also remind him of this in the letter I give to Nalan Shu. Nalan Shu is trustworthy, you can listen to his arrangements. At the same time, you must learn all the Guardian Knight skills below the fourth rank and be able to use them proficiently before going to Holy Mountain to obtain your mount.”

“Holy Mountain is connected to the spirit realm. If you cannot stimulate your own talent and future abilities, you will not be able to obtain a suitable mount partner. Also, learning the abilities of a Guardian Knight will greatly enhance your survival ability. Remember, remember.”

“The Spiritual Furnace must be constantly cultivated. Once you possess a Spiritual Furnace, it will become the medium for you to cultivate your inner spiritual power, thereby increasing your cultivation. You have already fused with the Saintly Elicitation Spiritual Furnace. Your inner spiritual power may decrease due to the fusion with it. Don’t worry, this is the process of your own inner spiritual power fusing with the Spiritual Furnace. It will recover in half a month at the least, and a month at the most. The Saintly Elicitation Spiritual Furnace is especially suitable for Guardian Knights, so you should experiment with it more in the future.”

“Haochen, your father and mother are also reluctant to leave you. However, your father hopes that the next time we meet, you will already have the ability to stand on your own. If your mother and I don’t come to find you, it means we have important matters that we cannot get away from. Unless your cultivation reaches the seventh rank of Holy Knight and you pass the examination and competition to possess Mithril Foundation Battle Armor, do not come looking for us.”

The letter ended there. Long Haochen stared blankly at the letter, his reluctance reaching its peak.

Suddenly, he turned around, rushed out of the wooden house, and shouted loudly towards the distance: “Dad–Dad–, Mom–Mom–.”

Long Haochen did not leave Odin Mountain immediately. He stayed there for another three days, until there was no trace of his parents left in the wooden house, before reluctantly packing his simple luggage and going down the mountain.

When he passed through Odin Town, he saw that the town was undergoing reconstruction, and at least two thousand elite soldiers of the Temple Alliance were stationed near Odin Town.

By the time he arrived at Haoyue City, it was noon. Haoyue City didn’t seem to have changed. The moment he stepped into the city gate, Long Haochen secretly vowed to do his best to reach the seventh rank of Knight as soon as possible.

The atmosphere within Haoyue City didn’t seem tense despite the demonic race’s attack. Long Haochen followed his memory and arrived at the Knights’ Temple Haoyue Sub-Hall once again.

“Excuse me, I would like to request an audience with Hall Master Nalan.” Long Haochen handed over his probationary knight badge.

The two guards at the entrance had already been replaced. Although they didn’t recognize him, they didn’t dare to neglect him when they saw that he was only in his teens and already possessed a probationary knight badge, so they hurriedly went inside to report.

After a while, accompanied by a faint fragrance, a figure rushed out of the Haoyue Sub-Hall.

“Little Haochen, you’ve finally come.”

The person who rushed out of the Sub-Hall was none other than Li Xin. She was still dressed as she had been before, soft armor, ponytail, full of heroic spirit. The year and a half hadn’t left any traces on her, but her spirit was even more radiant, indicating that her cultivation had made considerable progress.

“Sister Xin’er.” Seeing her, Long Haochen immediately felt like he had met a relative, and the emotions he had suppressed for several days almost exploded again. Under the stunned gaze of the two guards, he directly threw himself into Li Xin’s arms.

Li Xin gave him a big hug, and feeling the sadness in Long Haochen’s emotions, she quickly asked, “Haochen, what’s wrong? What happened?”

Long Haochen choked and said, “Dad and Mom have both left. I’m all alone now.”

Li Xin was startled. “You mean the demonic race’s attack…”

Long Haochen immediately realized that she had misunderstood and hurriedly explained, “No, Dad and Mom went somewhere else and told me to stay and join the Haoyue Sub-Hall to continue my cultivation.”

Li Xin patted her ample chest. “You scared me. I thought something happened to them! It’s just that they went on a long trip! That’s nothing, I can’t wait to not be with my parents. From now on, Haoyue Sub-Hall is your home. If anyone dares to bully you, just tell them my name. Let’s go, let’s go inside first.”

While speaking, Li Xin took Long Haochen’s hand and strode into the Haoyue Sub-Hall.

The two guards at the entrance exchanged glances, both showing shocked expressions.

“Who is that young man? Why is our Rose Knight so affectionate with him?”

“Keep your voice down, how dare you inquire about Miss Xin’er’s gossip? If you could look as handsome as that young man, maybe Miss Xin’er would look at you differently.”

Li Xin led Long Haochen into the Haoyue Sub-Hall. Everything was still the same, but when Long Haochen saw the six Divine Thrones placed in the center of the inner side of the hall again, he felt completely different.

Pride instantly diluted his sadness. He immediately found the second throne on the left, the Divine Throne symbolizing Doom and Slaughter. That was Dad’s glory!

One day, I will definitely become one of the owners of these six Divine Thrones. A burning look flashed in Long Haochen’s eyes.

Li Xin felt his pace slow down, so she stopped and said, “Little brother, you’ve grown so much taller in just over a year! In another two years, you’ll probably surpass your sister. Hmm, and you’re even more handsome. It’s unbelievable, when you grow up, I don’t know how many girls will be infatuated with you.”

Li Xin was tall, and although Long Haochen had grown a lot, he was still half a head shorter than her. However, at this moment, she looked at Long Haochen and couldn’t help but marvel in her heart, and even her heartbeat seemed to accelerate a little.
