"Father!"
Inside the Nieying Tian Branch of Lingxiao Academy, over five thousand Dragon Blood Warriors stood together, shouting in unison.
"Alright, alright, you are all my sons. I never expected that after being separated from my son for so many years, I would suddenly have so many sons. Consider this heaven's compensation to me." Long Zhantian said excitedly.
Looking at these Dragonblood Warriors, each one a fine young man, his eyes reddened. Seeing this scene, Long Chen knew that the Dragonblood Warriors had stirred up memories for him.
My father once formed the Tianlong Legion, had countless passionate brothers who fought the world together, sometimes dressed in fine clothes and riding white horses, and once brimming with spirit.
Unfortunately, everything has changed. Those who once sworn brotherhood with Long Zhantian have all been persecuted to death by the Long family. Long Chen's heart ached; his father had endured too much pain, pain he could never imagine.
If one day he was locked up and found himself alone in the Dragonblood Legion, he didn't know if he would still have the courage to survive.
"Uncle,"
Bai Shishi and Yu Qingxuan shyly stepped forward to pay their respects. Both felt a bit uneasy. They knew this was their future father-in-law, and for a moment, they felt a bit uneasy.
"Get up quickly."
Long Zhantian hurriedly helped the two of them up. Long Zhantian smiled and said, "You two children must have suffered a lot following Chen'er. Thank you for your hard work." "
Uncle, it's too much. Staying with Long Chen, no matter how hard it gets, we're willing." Yu Qingxuan hurriedly said, but Bai Shishi was so nervous she couldn't say a word and could only nod from the side.
"Having daughters-in-law like you as fairy-like as yours is truly the blessing of countless lifetimes, and even two. Great, truly wonderful." Long Zhantian looked at his two future daughters-in-law, his eyes full of satisfaction. His son's taste was truly impeccable.
"Father, this is only two of them." Long Chen awkwardly sent a voice transmission to Long Zhantian.
Long Zhantian was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. Long Chen became even more embarrassed and could only grin foolishly along.
After meeting with his father and the other beauties, Long Chen saw that Long Zhantian looked a bit tired and quickly helped him inside to rest.
The branch courtyard had just been activated, and many places were still under construction. However, a place was first arranged for Long Chen to accommodate the Dragon Blood Legion.
Bai Shishi and Yu Qingxuan busied themselves, making Long Zhantian feel a bit embarrassed and giving Long Chen a meaningful look.
Long Chen immediately understood and used the excuse of treating his father's injuries. Only then did Bai Shishi and Yu Qingxuan leave. Only after leaving did the two breathe a sigh of relief. Earlier, they had been so nervous they barely dared to breathe, feeling even more nervous than at the Saint King Assembly.
"No wonder he's my son, Long Zhantian." Long Zhantian gave Long Chen a thumbs-up, a proud smile on his face.
Long Chen didn't know if his father was praising him because his female confidantes were complimenting him more often, or because his brothers were complimenting him often. He couldn't help but chuckle, scratching his head, unsure how to respond.
"Father, why don't you rest for a while? I'll give you a calming pill to help you sleep better." Long Chen said.
Today, Long Zhantian had his essence blood drained by the Long family and suffered dramatic ups and downs. He was extremely exhausted both physically and mentally. Even an ordinary cultivator couldn't endure it, let alone someone as weak as he was.
"Father isn't as fragile as you imagine. Now it's just the two of us left. Tell me how you've gotten through these years." Long Zhantian looked at Long Chen, his eyes full of kindness and indulgence, but also filled with sorrow and helplessness.
As a father, his greatest regret was not watching his child grow up bit by bit. Now, seeing him again, Long Zhantian was both happy and a bit lost. Some things, once lost, can never be restored.
So Long Chen recounted his rise in the Long family of the Fengming Empire, entering the Xuantian Courtyard, then the Xuantian Dao Sect, participating in the battle between good and evil, and how he met and got to know his brothers, from the mortal realm all the way to the immortal realm.
Facing his father, Long Chen could reveal all his secrets without reservation or restraint, even without hiding his identity as the Nine-Star successor.
Because Long Chen knew that his father had long been tied to his fate, and there was no such thing as karmic contamination. If there was any involvement, it had already been tainted.
Long Zhantian remained silent, listening to Long Chen's story. Suddenly, he asked, "
Is your grandfather doing well?"
Long Chen was taken aback, suddenly realizing that he had talked about too much and too much chaos—all over the place, illogical. As for his grandfather's family, he had only mentioned it casually.
Seeing a trace of anxiety appear on Long Zhantian's face, Long Chen immediately understood—even his father was afraid to meet his future father-in-law.
Long Chen smiled and said, "Grandpa is very good, and he treats me very well too." "
Really?" Long Zhantian was instantly overjoyed.
Back then, Long Zhantian had learned from Long Chen's mother that his future father-in-law was an extremely domineering and unreasonable monster. He had never known how to face it, but unexpectedly, the matter was resolved smoothly.
Long Chen hurriedly recounted to his father the situation after arriving at the Luo family, where he was tested by his grandfather, and finally handed the Luo family over to Long Chen. He then went to rescue the ancestors trapped in the spatial rift, and told his father everything in detail.
When he learned that Luo Ningshuang was crucial to the future fate of the Luo family, Long Zhantian finally understood why Luo Zichuan was so unreasonable.
"Chen'er, you've done very well." Long Chen patted Long Chen on the shoulder, his face full of excitement.
Upon learning that Long Chen had helped Luo Zichuan open the spatial gate and completed the Luo family's mission, Luo Ningshuang would no longer be a criminal. The couple could now face the Luo family directly, and the emotional knot between them would be healed without medicine.
"This is what a son should do." Long Chen hurriedly said, being able to make his father happy made him feel very happy.
Long Zhantian then listened to Long Chen recount the situation in Jiutian back then, the disputes among the major clans, and the current state of the human race.
Long Zhantian had been imprisoned since coming up from the mortal realm, completely unaware of the Immortal Realm's situation. However, he could learn about this world through Long Chen.
Long Chen had come from the mortal realm and fought all the way, fighting powerful figures from various races. His perspective was very comprehensive. Moreover, Long Chen had read many books about the Nine Heavens; basically, whatever Long Zhantian asked, he could answer.
Long Zhantian also looked at his son's rich knowledge, occasionally praising Long Chen to show his admiration. This way, he had a general understanding of the situation in the Immortal Realm.
"Father, once I advance to Realm King, let's go find my mother together. I miss her so much, and I believe she misses me even more." At this point, Long Chen's voice choked with emotion.
"Good child, focus on your cultivation. You have more and more important things to do. Leave the matter of finding your mother to Father!" Long Zhantian patted Long Chen on the shoulder and said.
"Father, you..." Long Chen was startled.
