Chapter 1256: I Don’t Want Her to Regret
“Dad, we can’t just sit here and wait any longer; we must go find Senior Martial Brother!”
After spending a few days in Su Family Village and visiting Ru Yu Village, Su Kexin heard that the Xuanyun Sect had collapsed. She also visited the Xuanyun Sect, and although she confirmed that Lin Nuo was responsible, she couldn’t find any leads on his whereabouts.
“Where could he have gone? It’s still unknown; there’s not a single clue.”
Su Lingjiang sighed, honestly, he agreed with Lin Nuo’s initial advice for Su Kexin to stay at home and gradually let her other personality fade away.
As a father, he naturally didn’t want his daughter to be caught in danger. The world was becoming more chaotic, and he didn’t want his daughter to be dragged into it.
Not only demons but even those cultivators and immortals were starting to act strangely. Recently, someone even came to recruit Su Kexin, wanting her to join them and utilize her abilities.
In the end, Su Kexin fought them off. Fortunately, she was no longer the same person she used to be; she could often control that power, but she still couldn’t suppress her inner impulse and ended up attacking them.
This was what worried Su Lingjiang the most; if she ever lost control, it could lead to disaster.
“Even if the world is vast, we must go find him,” Su Kexin insisted firmly.
“Kexin, have you forgotten Lin Nuo’s words? Your abilities are a hazard; you shouldn’t use them again.”
“I don’t need to use them, Dad. I can rely entirely on myself.”
“Kexin, I feel that you haven’t fully controlled it yet. Before you do, I must keep you grounded. Our position is already being watched by the Sacred Realm, so we have to change locations. Let’s go; Su Family Village can no longer be our refuge.”
“They are targeting me; as long as I leave, it’ll be fine. Grandma and Grandpa just reunited; it’s not right to leave now. So just let me go.”
“Where will you go?” Su Lingjiang retorted sternly.
“To find Senior Martial Brother.”
“You don’t even know where he is, and you can’t go to him. Lin Nuo left you precisely because he didn’t want you to take risks! Why are you being so stubborn?”
Su Lingjiang’s words became sharper. He would normally never scold Su Kexin, but if she wouldn’t listen to kind words, he had to be firm.
“Dad, were you not also adventurous on your own back then? Why can’t you let me go now? Besides, I’m destined to find Senior Martial Brother; I will absolutely locate him!”
Su Kexin was equally stubborn; she had to find Lin Nuo, and no one could dissuade her.
“Then I will have to resort to other means.”
Su Lingjiang had no choice but to enforce his will. Suddenly, a magic array appeared beneath Su Kexin’s feet, binding her legs like invisible vines, making it impossible for her to escape.
“Dad, let me go!”
“Kexin, you mustn’t blame me; I don’t want you to take risks. We just got our family back together; stay with us and move away.”
Su Lingjiang was resolute in stopping Su Kexin; he wouldn’t allow her to leave.
Su Kexin felt furious; she wanted to break free from the array but felt that her own strength wasn’t enough.
The only way was to tap into that explosive power.
But every time she used it, she risked being consumed by her other personality, so she had been holding back all this time.
And what if it hurt her dad? That was uncertain.
“Lingjiang, let Kexin go.”
At that moment, an old man with a cane approached; he was Su Kexin’s grandfather.
“Dad, this child is too stubborn; I can’t let her go out.”
“Stubbornness is our family’s tradition. You, me, and her, we are all the same. We have blood and passion in our hearts, we have faced hardships, but in the end, we have overcome them. I believe her wish is not to stay safe here but to be with that young man. Let her go.”
“But Dad, it’s precisely because we have both experienced hardships that we don’t want Kexin to walk the same path.”
“She won’t walk the same path. They both have created many miracles. In fact, this world needs both of them. Lingjiang, you once had that same fire. If I had restricted you back then, you would have hated me. If you do this now, Kexin will resent you in the future. I don’t want her to regret it; let her go.”
His grandfather spoke calmly. He had a broader perspective than Su Lingjiang. Since Su Kexin was young and had ambitions, he should respect her choice.
Moreover, Su Kexin had improved rapidly under Lin Nuo’s influence, and if she left him, she would be unhappy.
“Dad! Sigh!”
Su Lingjiang was helpless and ultimately compromised, releasing Su Kexin.
After all, he had also been impulsive in his youth; if his parents had insisted on stopping him, he might have regretted it for life.
Well, perhaps this was fate; Su Kexin and Lin Nuo, two young people destined to create miracles.
“Thank you, Dad. I’m sorry for being unfilial. Now I’m off to find Senior Martial Brother!”
“Lin Nuo is no longer in the mortal realm, Kexin. But you can go to the place he left from.”
Su Lingjiang said, leaving Su Kexin confused.
“Dad, how is that?”
“Go to the Qin family; that was the last place Lin Nuo stayed. I have news but didn’t want you to take risks, so I didn’t tell you. You have a unique ability; perhaps, you can leave the mortal realm just like Lin Nuo did.”
Su Lingjiang directed Su Kexin, informing her that Lin Nuo had gone to the Qin family and then disappeared. There were others who traveled with him, and she could inquire about the situation.
“Okay! Thank you, Dad and Grandpa, for your support! I will definitely return safely!”
With that, Su Kexin quickly took to the skies on her sword, heading to the Qin family to find clues about Lin Nuo.
“Sigh, this girl, why is she so impulsive? Fine, I’ll go with her.”
Su Lingjiang hurriedly took to the skies but didn’t leave as quickly as Su Kexin did.
He glanced back at his old father, who wore a kind smile, reminiscing about his younger self, once equally impulsive and stubborn, yet his father had always been tolerant.
“Dad, Kexin will be fine; you don’t need to worry.”
With that, Su Lingjiang’s sword took off from Su Family Village, following Su Kexin in search of Lin Nuo’s whereabouts.
……
……
Qin Family.
“Has Young Master been gone for several days? What if something happens…”
Ruo’er had been watching the place where Lin Nuo had left for days, eagerly waiting for his return, but her hope was met with silence.
“Ruo’er, you should go back now. There’s nothing we can do; we can only wait.”
Liu Shuqin quickly came to comfort Ruo’er. She missed Lin Nuo just as much, but what could be done? They could only let fate take its course.
“Senior Martial Sister! Ruo’er!”
Suddenly, a familiar voice called out. They looked up to see Su Kexin descending on her sword.
“Kexin, why are you…?”
“Senior Martial Sister, I heard that Senior Martial Brother left from here, is that right?”
Su Kexin landed and immediately inquired about Lin Nuo.
“Yes, but he hasn’t returned yet.”
