Chapter 2612 Stalemate
In the eyes of all parents, no matter how old or accomplished their child became, they would always be their child, someone to worry over and lovingly guide without end. At this moment, that was exactly how Luo Qingxun saw Lin Xun.
Lin Xun was moved, and after a moment of silence, he said, “Mother, don’t worry, I won’t act unless I’m sure of myself.”
Luo Qingxun smiled softly, and just as she was about to speak, her figure suddenly trembled. Light rippled across her and she began to blur, turning faint and illusory, as if she might vanish at any moment.
Lin Xun’s heart clenched. He realized that Luo Qingxun’s willpower was dissipating.
“Xun’er, the Fortune Sword is hidden in that wooden hairpin. Retrieve the sword and if you ever find yourself in a life-and-death situation, activate it with all your strength. It will take you to the Fortune Dominion. But remember, don’t do anything reckless...” Luo Qingxun said quickly.
Her voice trailed off as the figure disintegrated, fading completely into the void. Only the vast sky and the endless undulating sea remained.
Lin Xun stood there motionless, a hollow ache filling his chest. After a long pause, he let out a slow, heavy sigh. The reunion was too short.
He still had countless questions he hadn’t asked, countless things he hadn’t said. Now all of it had to be buried once more in the depths of his heart.
“Mother, I’ll come find you in the Fortune Dominion...” Lin Xun murmured.
His eyes fell on the bronze box. Resting inside was an elegant wooden hairpin. He reached out and picked it up, only to find it unusually heavy, as though he was lifting a mountain.
With just a glance, Lin Xun could tell that the wooden hairpin was a spatial treasure. When he probed it with his spirit sense, he saw a sword floating within.
The sword was two feet three inches long and no wider than two fingers. Its blade was plain and unadorned, while the hilt was faint and translucent, occasionally casting flashes of brilliant, multicolored light. It was like a fleeting stream of radiance in a dream.
