Along the way, Lin Qi has been paving her own path step by step.

Even Jin Jun, who is always by his side, rarely relies on others.

Lin Jue's presence or absence behind someone doesn't make much of a difference.

Seeming to understand Lin Qi's unspoken intentions, Lin Jie clenched his fists and coughed twice before giving a faint smile. "I know you don't want to rely on outside help."

"I just... want to watch you grow into a towering tree, step by step."

"In the future, when I return to the upper realm, I will not regret not having walked your path."

Lin Qi: "..."

Without a father-daughter relationship cultivated from childhood, Lin Qi at this moment, hearing Lin Ju's words full of love, didn't show any signs of being moved.

...instead, there was a feeling of utter helplessness and confusion.

As for Lin Qi's silence, Lin Jue was not surprised.

"I know you're not comfortable with me being here, but I'm not planning on disrupting your life."

On that day, I was discovered by Heaven and forced back to this mountain. I only knew that you had fallen into the Heavenly Demon Palace, unaware of your life or death. Now, seeing you alive again, my heart is finally at ease.

Lin Qi nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and still opened her mouth: "How did you get hurt?"

"A friend of yours had a fortune told for you, confirming your safety and well-being. The only thing is that it's a backlash."

Lin Jue just calmly said everything.

But Lin Qi had some feelings.

Some things are best left unsaid.

The more favors one receives from others, the heavier the debt of gratitude becomes.

Even though these favors weren't what she desired, if one wasn't heartless, over time, it would be difficult not to feel touched.

"I wonder if there's any medicine that can treat it? Even just slowing down the worsening of the wound would be helpful."

Lin Qi casually explained, "I went through a dangerous ordeal in the Heavenly Demon Palace and gained quite a lot."

She paused for a moment, her wrist turning with a flick, her palm holding up a jade bracelet.

"This is a jade bracelet imbued with medicinal properties. It is said to have miraculous effects on healing wounds. I wonder if it might be of use to you?"

Lin Jue shook her head. "I appreciate your kindness, but to be precise, mine isn't an injury, it's the backlash of heaven."

"Medications and herbs are useless."

Lin Qi withdrew the jade bracelet, a little regretful.

She now acts in a particularly strange way towards Lin Jue.

I used to think he was a terrible father, but now he's turned into a caring one and often spoils her.

Lin Qi actually knew that even if Lin Jie recovered his memory, the past things were still done by him.

Lin Qi hasn't been able to completely separate the past Lin Jian from the present Lin Jian.

About her past life, she couldn't bring herself to ask.

Therefore, she could never view Lin Jie with entirely kind thoughts.

To be melodramatic about it, Lin Qi was completely irresistible to Lin Jiu. It was hard for Lin Qi to accept this.

Lin Qi couldn't help but let out a long sigh. She was just too kind-hearted after all.

The atmosphere was a little tense for a moment.

Lin Qi thought for a moment, then drew the Di Huang Sword from her back, holding it with both hands.

"There is one thing Lin Qi still doesn't understand."

Lin Ju's usually placid expression flickered with excitement for a moment when she saw the sword in Lin Qi's hand.

He got up too quickly and almost fell.

Lin Qi was quick-witted and swift. She stepped forward to help him up.

Lin Jue's gaze remained fixed on her sword.

As his fingertips neared the Di Huang Sword, a thick layer of ice immediately covered it.

The next second, Lin Jue's spiritual energy dissolved it.

He held the Dihuang Sword in both hands, his face brimming with excitement. "This sword... was it left to you by your mother?!"

Lin Qi calmly nodded.

"I knew it... you're different to her!"

Lin Qi: "..."

"Your mother had seven children, and only you possess this sword!"

I know everything about her, this sword was clearly forged by her own hands.

"Even the formations on the sword, she had meticulously drawn herself."

If it weren't true love, why would they go to such lengths?

Lin Qi thought for a moment, and still explained.

As you said, my mother's status is noble, and in the upper realm, she would certainly not lack various cultivation resources.

You know about the situation in Caowu Realm, perhaps Mother just hasn't found the right celestial materials and treasures, so she can only try to refine them herself.

Now Lin Jue is like a concubine in a palace intrigue novel who loves the emperor deeply.

Every little move the emperor made, she could spin it into countless scenarios of "He loves me so much."

Lin Qi really couldn't handle it.

She reminded herself sotto voce, "My sword though precious, I'm sure my siblings in the upper realm each possess formidable artifacts..."

"How could this be the same?!" Lin Jue's voice was filled with a mixture of urgency and irritability.

Lin Qi immediately shut up and stopped arguing with the lovestruck person.

Do you know that the two characters "Di Huang" mean status in the Upper Realm? Your mother naming your sword "Emperor Phoenix Sword" is like...

"What is it like?"

Lin Qi opened her black and white eyes, looking at Lin Jue with curiosity.

Lin Jué met her gaze, and the words he was about to speak suddenly died in his throat.

To be honest, there's a part of him that feels this sudden fatherly love because of Gong Shaojun, and another part because of Lin Qi himself?

He can't even tell himself anymore.

He did not fulfill the duties nor responsibilities of a father.

He had always known it deep down. The sudden return of his memories, the sudden recognition of his daughter, and the effort to be a loving father—it all stemmed from his desire to please Gong Shaojun of the celestial realm.

Pragmatic actions faltered, a flicker of hesitation arising when they met Lin Qi's clear gaze.

But these hesitations and softenings were only for a moment.

He did all this, and in the end, it benefited him and his daughter.

Lin Juéqiang held back his excitement and said, "If we were in the Upper Realm, this would be like announcing to everyone that you are her heir!"

Lin Qi heard this, smiled, didn't speak, just silently took a step back.

Is it really true that this biological father of hers only admired the Palace's young master and chased him down to the Azure Pool Realm just to rekindle a romance?

She suddenly spoke: “A friend of mine told me that the material used for forging the sword is extraordinary, it might even be from the real Ice Phoenix divine beast…”

If I'm not mistaken, the material of this sword's blade is from your mother's phoenix bone.

Lin Qi: "!"

She stared at Lin Jue in astonishment, with a hint of disbelief.

But thinking of the things inside DiGong and Huangyu's bracelet space, I didn't find it unbelievable.

Gong Shaojun is really very fond of Lin Qi.

And this love is pure, unadulterated.

Her palm gently glided over the blade, her heart feeling a complex mix of emotions in that instant.

The love of a mother, something she had never experienced before, was now quietly enveloping her, slowly seeping into Lin Qi's icy and indifferent heart.

Seeing Lin Qi's expression, Lin Jue smiled faintly.

Now you know I wasn't wrong, were you? Your mother has many children, but she loves you the most.

“Probably because you are the only one she has raised personally, she feels differently about you.”

Lin Qi suddenly sheathed his sword and bowed to Lin Jie.

"You're right. For Mother to have paved the way to heaven, I can't let her efforts go to waste."

"Lin Qi will definitely work hard in cultivation and break through the barrier as soon as possible. I'll be waiting to go to the upper realm to meet my mother!"
