You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 148 - 59, Ordinary People

Time rewound half an hour earlier.

In a room deep within the Flying Boat.

The floor was littered with empty wine jars, and the old Daoist lay among them, soaked with wine from his robe, uncaring as he continued to chug the liquor.

"Lu’er... Yue’er is fighting again... Am I really that useless..."

His bleary eyes looked up at the light cast by the Long Bright Pearl as if once again seeing his long-lost daughter.

From the moment of her birth, to her babbling words, her unsteady first steps, the excitement and curiosity when she first learned the Thunder Technique, the nervousness and fear when she first flew, the fragility and longing after her initial return from Eternal Night, the pain and sorrow when she begged him not to probe about her pregnancy...

"I know, Yue’er must be deceiving me, the price he has to pay is probably not so simple..."

The vague smile and voice in the light made him somewhat infatuated, and he murmured, "In those years in Qingdu, I often secretly watched Yue’er, his eyes so much like yours, his nose and lips too, only his eyebrows are different, lighter, and his forehead so full..."

"Although I don’t know how Yue’er found out, he may have the same special Innate Divine Skills as you, I always feel like Yue’er has known that I am his grandfather all along..."

"The first time Yue’er brought me alcohol, I thought he recognized me as a sage and wanted to gain favor from me, but he asked for nothing..."

"Unfortunately, I dared not acknowledge him, nor did I have the face to..."

"Come to think of it, like you said, around the age of eighteen, his temperament did change, indeed first-time motherhood made you so perceptive..."

"He was aloof before, but last year he truly befriended a very nice girl, only... I was too late to save her, just as powerless and incapable as before, like an ordinary man who can’t change anything..."

He shut his eyes and kept pouring down the wine as if only by doing so could he forget all his sorrows.

Alas, one might seek solace in alcohol but find only deepening despair.

"Sometimes I think, if I had never joined the Shenxiao Sect, led a simple life in Jingzhou, lived as an ordinary man, then none of this would have happened..."

"Your mother wouldn’t have met me, Lu’er you wouldn’t have gone to Dawn Platform, wouldn’t have thought about exploring Eternal Night, and then you wouldn’t have died..."

His eyes watery, he gazed at the light of the Long Bright Pearl, the faint illusion already blurred, "In the end, it’s because I’m useless, I haven’t been able to change anything in this life..."

Sorrowful drink to the throat, awake to drunk, and drunk to wake.

Suddenly——

The old Daoist abruptly sat up, his hazy drunk eyes instantly clearing, and he conjured a Talisman flickering with lightning.

At this moment, the Talisman had numerous cracks as if it would shatter at any moment.

Sahara Six Elements Life Talisman.

This wondrous Talisman was intimately connected to Lin Yue’s life, and for it to show such a state meant one thing——

Lin Yue was in a near-death state!

"How could this be... Isn’t Yue’er now a Prince?"

The old Daoist murmured in anxious panic, then glanced at the Trapping Array at the room’s exit.

He took a deep breath and suddenly calmed down.

"Yue’er... I’m sorry..."

With a flash of lightning and a peal of thunder.

"For one last time, even if I can’t change my own fate, let me at least change Yue’er’s..."

...

At the moment night was torn apart by lightning, Lin Yue was completely dumbstruck.

He had known the old Daoist for just over a year, and although their relationship was good, their bond wasn’t that deep.

Only...

When he had first crossed over to this world, to the world, he was like a small boat that had drifted into unknown waters, not knowing where to steer or where to dock, until he discovered the old Daoist, his relative by blood.

In a foreign world, to have but one person you could trust, was like finding an anchor in the vast sea.

His demands on life were not high, just peace and stability, comfort and contentment, and a bit of hope for Cultivation to satisfy his curiosity.

Therefore, if it hadn’t been for Xia Lie’s arrival, he wouldn’t have had any interest in the position of Prince.

In fact, it was still the same now.

As long as the plan succeeded, even if he lost most of the potential of the Prince Bloodline, it was no big deal, not only could he save the old Daoist, his only relative, but he could also escape the storm of competition for the Prince’s position, why not be happy about it?

But...

His grandfather, the old Daoist, still made a move for him.

"Boom!!"

In the vast, deep night, a blinding bolt of lightning ripped through the darkness, turning night into day for an instance.

The crushingly powerful flash of lightning went by in a flash, leaving a sharp angle across the sky above the Flying Boat, the dazzling light sweeping past a dozen Cultivators of the Heavenly Born Sect.

Wherever the lightning passed, the Demonic Qi dissipated, and ashes fell.

In just an instant, these dozen Heavenly Born Sect Cultivators were all dead!

However, the target of the lightning was not them but the Second Saint of the Heavenly Born Sect, who was merely passing by!

"Hmm?"

The Second Saint’s expression changed suddenly, his entire body surged with blood light, as he witnessed the Demon-clearing Thunder, he had already invoked his strongest defense and the Demon Secret Technique.

The terrifying speed of the lightning was unbelievable, piercing through the Second Saint’s body in an instant while concurrently sending a bolt towards the fallen Great Saint.

"No... impossible..."

The Second Saint looked down in a daze at the huge hole in his chest pierced by the lightning, his eyes filled with fear and unwillingness, the blood light around his body completely dissipated, and soon his whole being was reduced to ash.

At the same time, the helpless Great Saint was also struck by the lightning, turned instantly to dust and ashes.
