Chapter 864: Chapter 552: Possibilities and Misty Uncertainties
"And what’s going on with Dad being unreachable?"
Remyu slammed the table, even directly placing a black rifle with spiritual artifact fluctuations onto it, looking rather domineering: "Three months without a word, how could I just ignore him!"
"At least tell me how he is, whatever you know, just tell me!"
"Lele... or should I say, Himari."
The old man sighed.
"I haven’t hidden anything from you."
"You need to understand, if he hasn’t told you anything, he’s not going to tell me either."
"What I can tell you is that Heikawa is still alive. You have his True Intent token, so you should also feel this truth."
"As for the beast tide... it is real, and the chaos in Fusang is the same."
The pair of golden vertical pupils watching Remyu suddenly showed a touch of aged color, as if traversing space and time, observing a moment in the past.
...Or looking upon the shadows of someone, or some people from the past.
——This seemed to be the first time Lin Guang saw this handsome yet mischievous principal, who beyond his appearance does not age, showing such clear reminiscence and nostalgia.
He was actually over two hundred years old.
"What do you think the relationship between Heikawa and me is?"
Li Jiatu looked at Remyu, gently posing the question.
Listening to his words, Remyu maintained that downward gaze, stubbornly fixing her golden eyes on the old man in front of her.
The principal spoke softly: "If your father ever told you about his early experiences, then you should know that he and I were indeed alumni of two renowned academies of the Federation Country and Europe, and also comrades and friends."
"Back then, he was hailed as a genius unfit for the wilderness of Fusang, forcibly refining the primitive Contract Technique there, not much inferior even when compared to me."
"Over a hundred years later, I became one of the three giants of Great Xia’s Thunder Division, while he completed his original goal, as [General Heikawa] took control of Fusang, and with his like-minded friends, opened the country’s gates and liberated it from the hands of those shortsighted and ignorant decayed rulers..."
"The so-called True Masters are the rulers of their inner worlds."
"Even if there are levels in terms of power... a ruler will not easily invade another ruler’s domain, that’s basic respect—unless you’re prepared to become his enemy, or that person is your servant, your possession, formed for your True Intent."
The old man spoke earnestly: "But Heikawa is neither my enemy nor my servant. Moreover, he is not just the ruler of his inner world, but also of a real nation."
"He was also just one step away from Eight-Star back then."
His finger tapped the blank report on the table beside him: "For someone like him, if he wants to do anything secretly, he absolutely wouldn’t tell me his reasons, and I wouldn’t ask."
"He merely asked me, as a friend, to protect you, using a favor I owed him from long ago, and since I promised, I will do it earnestly."
"As for personal freedom... Great Xia is vast, you should feel it, at least I’ve never restricted your personal freedom here."
"..."
Remyu was silent for a while, shaking her head.
Indeed, Great Xia was bigger than she could ever imagine, and though now she could travel to various places via Star Track, she could feel it’s vast enough for her to spend a lifetime exploring.
Perhaps indeed most Spirit Masters could spend a lifetime not traversing its endless land filled with mysteries.
But to someone who loves freedom the most, if she realizes her footprints are evidently restrained, then this place is merely a bigger sandbox.
She spoke gloomily: "But you are like Dad—it’s impossible to keep me locked up forever."
The girl displayed a determined expression: "I will escape someday!"
"Yes... so I don’t plan to keep you locked up forever either."
Li Jiatu took a sip of tea from the porcelain cup, his attitude calm yet firm.
"According to my standards, when you can break through to Tier Six, condense your True Body, I’ll let you go abroad."
"By then, not just Fusang, but the Federation Country, Europe, the Desert Kingdom, you can go anywhere."
"Tier Six?!"
Remyu widened her eyes—
Her level hadn’t even reached Tier Five yet, only at level 48.
Though she usually trains and levels up diligently, and Sakota’s love for shooting and bombing on Blue Star turns into skill practice.
But indeed...
Her cultivation speed is not fast.
Considering she came to Blue Star nearly seventeen years ago and was adopted by a Seven-Star Peak powerhouse like Heikawa, by any standard, should align with the likes of Heaven-slaying Demon, Zhao Yue, Du Qing, such caliber of origin, acclaimed as top-tier in Great Xia, not suffering the restriction of starting cultivation at sixteen like Great Xia’s prodigies.
Though without a Contractor, the cultivation speed may not be rapid, but there are already examples in front of her.
——Zumama achieved Tier Five in just ten years.
Surely, part of it is Zumama having integrated the method of mechanical creation into her life over the past decade, practicing diligently to an incredible extent.
But honestly... in this aspect, Remyu has indeed been somewhat indifferent.
She grew up in a very happy environment, her adoptive father never forced her to cultivate early, only providing various spiritual materials and potions to increase potential, later she only began to train seriously to successfully leave home.
