Chapter 451 - 205: Thirteen Paths of Turbulent Waves
"Revenge!" the little girl emerged from behind the door, her expression stubborn.
"You?!" The shopkeeper was shocked; he hadn’t sensed the little girl’s presence at all.
Clearly, Lu Hong had tampered with something.
It was too late when the shopkeeper realized this, so he looked at the little girl and said, "Young lady, stop fantasizing about vengeance. The Golden Saint Mother is a Third Transition Peak cultivator who, according to rumors, once roamed the Star Sea and had a battle with the White Tower’s master, ending in a draw. Thinking of such a person, who stands at the pinnacle of mountains, she is not someone we can take revenge upon. Isn’t living here peacefully with me good enough?"
"No," the little girl shook her head, "Although I have never met my mother, I am grateful for the life she gave me. I used to think she abandoned me, and I could ignore it, but now that I know she was murdered and my father did nothing, I cannot remain indifferent. Even if it costs me my life, I must confront him and ask why he abandoned us!"
It was no surprise she had the bloodline of great figures; some things are truly innate and cannot be learned.
"You..." the shopkeeper was at a loss for words, and then he sighed, "For many years, I have been worried about your identity being discovered, living in fear. Now, you want to expose yourself willingly; what can I say?"
"Bless me," the little girl smiled slightly, "Wish that I can meet my father and take revenge on the Golden Saint Mother to console my mother’s spirit in heaven."
Lu Hong did not interject; he just quietly watched. If the little girl wished to seek revenge and was willing to leave, Lu Hong would take her and let the Holy King guide her to begin her cultivation path. However, if the little girl chose not to disrupt her peaceful life, Lu Hong would respect her decision. After all, seeking revenge against the elite of the Star Sea was undoubtedly a path filled with untold hardships.
Having lived with the little girl for years, the shopkeeper knew her personality well; once she made up her mind, she wouldn’t change it. Therefore, he turned to Lu Hong, "Friend, since you’ve helped her realize the truth, you won’t refuse to assist her, right?"
