“He is your father,” ngfei simply said.
“Is there any other reason?” Tianyi asked. Internally, he sighed in relief. With ngfei’s personality, he didn’t believe she would use himself as an excuse not to kill ng Tingfeng. Since the reason originated from himself, Tianyi believed she didn’t have any lingering feelings for him after learning of the truth.
ngfei furrowed her brows, a rarity in contrast to her perpetually expressionless face. “Isn’t that reason enough?”
She tilted her head, as if not understanding why Tianyi didn’t think it was a good enough reason. “I read that children need fathers to grow up. If you don’t have a father, you can’t be called a real grown up.”
Tianyi’s lips twitched. ‘What strange books did Mother read again? Or had she read it, but never got the ti to bring it out because she couldn’t rember who my sperm donor was?’
“Mother, did you forget it? I’m a reincarnator, I’ve already experienced what it’s like to have a dad? I don’t need it for a second ti. After all, I’ll only have disappointnt,” Tianyi said.
ngfei frowned. “I forgot. So you were already a grownup. I heard that it’s a mother’s greatest joy to see her child grow, but unfortunately, I won’t be able to experience it.”
Tianyi’s lips twitched again. He didn’t know how to reply to that, so he changed the subject. “So, can we agree that I don’t need a father?”
“It seems like that is the case,” ngfei said, but even though she agreed, she felt sothing was off.
“Right, then let’s kill him!” Tianyi said, one big sunny smile on his face.
“Again, killing him,” ngfei said. “Why do you want to kill him so much?”
Tianyi stared at ngfei. “You’ve changed. Before, you would have just said yes.”
For so reason, Tianyi got the feeling of pride oozing from ngfei, even though she didn’t adjust her position or even change her expression. “Of course, I’ve changed. It’s called maturing.”
Feeling a bit funny, Tianyi played along. “Ah mother, that’s called growing up. You’ve grown up.”
ngfei tilted her head and looked at Tianyi. “Only children grow up, adults mature.”
Tianyi sucked in a deep breath. He felt like he was on two completely different wavelengths with ngfei today. ‘Forget it.’
“I just don’t want to recognize him as my father. Since I was young, I did not need a father. In my heart, I only recognize one parent, you, Mother.”
ngfei stared at Tianyi. Unconsciously, a smile appeared on her face, one that she did not detect. “If you don’t want to recognize him as your father, don’t force yourself.”
Tianyi nodded. “I feel like he wants to recognize very much, though.”
He crossed his arms. Now that the stone in his heart had settled, it was ti to think about the consequences of the information. Since ng Tingfeng told so many people, it was a fool’s errand to conceal it. He had to think about how this information would affect the overall situation.
“It doesn’t matter, as long as you don’t kill him,” ngfei said.
Tianyi frowned. “Why can’t I?”
“You’re his son. No matter what, you shouldn’t kill your father,” ngfei said.
“But he will eventually beco our enemy. You don’t want to convince him to join our side, do you? That’s impossible for .”
ngfei shook her head. “No, I don’t an that. Just as a son, you shouldn’t kill him. If he is killed by soone else, it doesn’t matter.”
Tianyi smiled. He stayed a bit longer in Jade Peak Palace. After satisfying ngfei’s request, he left to see Xia ng, the forr sect master of the Buzhou Immortal Sect. Strictly speaking, he should have spoken to the current leader of the Immortal Court, the Immortal Minister of Appointnts, Sovereign Everpast, but he was more familiar with Xia ng.
Xia ng warmly received Tianyi. He led the younger immortal to a table and poured tea for the two. The two engaged in conversation. “After learning the information, Redseal lost his heart. He’s still alive, but his willpower lowered too much. He might not live for long.”
Originally, an immortal monarch like Redseal should be able to live for at least a hundred thousand more years, but his heart beca attached to his grandson. Originally, he still held hope that Lovespot still lived even if his Soul Lamp extinguished. After all, if there was no information, there was always a chance.
But after learning about the Dragon Emperor’s actions, Redseal directly lost all hope. His willpower weakened to the point that he would be lucky to live for another hundred years. His heart had shattered to such an extent that he wouldn’t even develop an inner devil. At least in his previous state, he could still develop an inner devil. Such was the nadir he plumted to.
Tianyi only let out a single “oh.” Among the most dangerous points of his life, Redseal contributed to one of the most harrowing events. Granted, Tianyi didn’t think he would dare, but the experience imprinted itself into his mind. So, he had no pity for this overly indulgent grandfather. ‘Good riddance.’
Still, he didn’t speak his thoughts.
“Oh, right. I forgot you don’t have the best impression of Redseal, silly . With my retirent, I must have gone senile with old age,” Xia ng said, chuckling. Although he appeared middle-aged, he still had a head full of black hair, and didn’t look senile at all. “Speaking of which, why did you co to ?”
“Can I not just visit you?”
“You can, but every ti you visit , it seems that it was for sothing.”
“I never noticed.” Tianyi nodded. “But yes, I did co here for matters. I think I may have discovered my sperm donor.”
It took a mont for Xia ng to process what Tianyi said. He smiled. “I guess congratulations are in order.”
“Don’t celebrate too soon. Neither nor Mother care about him,” Tianyi said with a roll of his eyes.
“What is so special about his identity? He wouldn’t happen to be related to the Saintly Scholar School or the destroyed Eight Pillar Sect, would he?”
“Worse.”
“How worse can it be?”
“He’s a peak lord of the Numinous Sword Sect.”
Xia ng’s hand, which was bringing a cup of tea toward his lips, paused. “That is alarming.”
He placed the teacup back on the table and began to think of the ramifications. Strictly speaking, he didn’t think that Tianyi exposing his relationship to ng Tingfeng would change anything much for the Immortal. First of all, he had known Tianyi since he was a child.
In addition, Tianyi was a reincarnator. The longing for a father must not be much, if it existed at all. Compared to Tianyi, he worried about Xi ngfei more. “What does Grand Elder Xi think?”
“She doesn’t care, but just said I can’t kill him,” Tianyi shrugged. “Personally, I don’t see the big deal. He’s just my sperm donor, after all.”
“Perhaps it’s a difference in thoughts. I don’t know what kind of world you lived in before your reincarnation, but here, it is imperative to respect your parents. To kill them is a grave sin,” Xia ng said.
“No matter what?”
“No matter what.”
“Even if the parent wants to kill the children?”
Xia ng paused. “Although there are such cases, a child still shouldn’t kill their parents.”
“That’s stupid and outdated,” Tianyi said. “It’s true that a child is born because of their parents, and this is a great grace, but the parents have a responsibility too. So people don’t deserve to be parents, and towards such parents, the child should not need to respect them.”
Xia ng sighed. “I see I can’t change your mind, but think of it this way. If you kill your father, many people will question you. You may not care, but they will think that Grand Elder Xi didn’t teach you well, or worse.”
“They dare?” Tianyi glared and crossed his arms. He snorted. “You don’t have to tell . It’s not like I was planning on disobeying mother. Just because I won’t kill him myself doesn’t an I have to save him. He’s a sword monarch of the Numinous Sword Sect, and war will co soon enough. By then, there will be many people wanting to kill him.”
Xia ng didn’t say anything more. He could see that Tianyi didn’t really have a huge desire to kill ng Tingfeng, but what he valued more was Tianyi’s attitude. He had beco too important to the Immortal Court. If Tianyi wanted to, the Immortal Court would likely do their best to spare ng Tingfeng, no matter how dangerous he was.
Now that Tianyi didn’t care, it ant that the Immortal Court didn’t have to spare so much effort to save ng Tingfeng. Of course, they couldn’t completely disregard ng Tingfeng. If given the chance, they would still choose to spare his life, just not as much if Tianyi cared.
What Xia ng considered was how to use this information. The matter could be said to be huge, but it wasn’t that huge. It could also be said to be small, but not that small either. More importantly, how could the Immortal Court use this information?
Perhaps convince ng Tingfeng to betray the Numinous Sword Sect? According to their spies, ng Tingfeng ascended from a lower realm. Not to ntion that he seed to really want to reunite with Tianyi. No, but that wasn’t reliable. Maybe drive a wedge between him and the Numinous Sword Sect. Even if nothing ca out of it, inciting so friction would work.
Or perhaps use this connection to deepen the relationship between the Immortal Court and the Numinous Sword Sect? And once the ti to war ca, use everything they gain to attack the Numinous Sword Sect?
Xia ng shook his head. He looked at Tianyi. Judging by Tianyi’s reaction, he definitely wouldn’t cooperate, but using this relationship to shorten the distance between the two sides should be useful. What was the concept called again? Ah, yes, cultural exchange.
If Tianyi knew what Xia ng thought, he would definitely punch the latter.
Tianyi left not long later, and Xia ng left to discuss the matter with Minister Everpast.
While Tianyi’s matter started, the Immortal Court moved onto the next step of their plan against the Demon Clan. Thanks to insider information, they already knew what the Demon Clan planned and what their next step was, especially after Yujiao revealed himself as a Buddhist spy.
Currently, they dispatched Grand Elder Zhang to chase after Empress Bluefeather, and the Numinous Sword Sect also dispatched a sword emperor. Of course, Grand Elder Zhang was equipped with a realm artifact to combat Empress Bluefeathers’ Sacred Fire Grotto. They didn’t know whether the Numinous Sword Sect did or not, but it didn’t matter.
The high echelons never expected or wanted Grand Elder Zhang to kill or capture the demon empress. They wanted to drag out the ti and wait to see if the Buddhists, the biggest variable in their grand plan, would take action.
If not, then slowly let Demon Empress Bluefeather escape and lead them back to their den. The only reason they hadn’t attacked yet was because they hadn’t a hundred percent captured the Divine Beast Pseudo System’s location, and the big surprise they gave Donghai Longzi to deliver.
The years passed. One year, two years, five years, ten years, and finally, twenty-two years. The ti for the cultural exchange between the Primordial Realm and the Numinous Sword Sect to comnce.
