Chapter 1393: King’s Fall
"Have you been well?" Li Jingzhe quietly looked at Tan Tailan, who was now much more mature than the last time he saw her. All of his complicated feelings had been condensed into a single simple greeting.
Tan Tailan gave a smile. "There's no need to worry, Father. We are all doing well. I've temporarily separated from Taixuan due to certain developments. However, there is no need to worry about him."
Li Jingzhe lightly nodded and didn't probe further. Now that Tan Tailan was a Greater Transcendent Duke, her strength meant that even in his prime, he might not have been able to beat her. It seemed like these youths had made their own achievements after twenty years.
"Grandpa, is your body fine?" Li Luo hurriedly asked. His gaze betrayed the anxiety in his heart, and Li Jingzhe's condition didn't look very good. The skin on his entire body was covered in cracks and he was emanating terrifying, chaotic fluctuations of energy.
Li Jingzhe gave a wry smile. "Little Luo and Qing'e, the two of you really aren't normal. Both of you have embarked on the Path of Ascension. I hope that you'll become even more outstanding in the future."
Li Luo's expression changed when he heard those words. He forced a smile. "Grandpa, without your protection, how could I, your grandson, have the confidence to become a true Transcendent Duke?"
Li Jingzhe lightly sighed. "I'm afraid I won't be able to see that day."
In order to destroy the Tri-Pupil Enigmatic Fetus' Human Fetus, he had paid the price of igniting his three crowns. This was a heavy price that even he was unable to escape from. Li Luo's heart trembled and Jiang Qing'e's eyes turned red.
"Mother, you must help Grandpa!" Li Luo desperately grabbed Tan Tailan's arm.
