"The Long family has never had a fallen genius... You will rise again in the future..."
Long Yan had initially thought these words were mere comfort, but after learning about Long Nian's past, he finally understood.

With that realization, a sudden warmth surged through Long Yan's body.
Resolve burned in his chest, replacing the dull despair with newfound determination.
He raised his head high, his gaze steady and full of clarity.
Turning toward Long Nian, he pressed his fist to his chest and said with sincere gratitude,
"Thank you, Brother Nian. Without your words today, I might have remained lost in darkness, wasting this precious time..."
Seeing the shift in Long Yan's demeanor, Long Nian nodded in approval. But quickly, he masked his pride with a playful scolding tone.
