The last thing Jianchen said seemed to have touched a sore spot in the Heavenly Enchantress' heart. It immediately caused her presence to suddenly change, and she stopped playing her zither as well.
At that moment, Jianchen could clearly sense an icy-cold presence radiate from the Heavenly Enchantress. The presence affected the surrounding space.
The temperature on the peak of the mountain plummeted, as if winter had arrived.
"You're meddling too much," the Heavenly Enchantress coldly said. She was emotionless and her eyes were cold.
Jianchen knew that the Heavenly Enchantress still held an extremely heavy grudge against Hao Wu. She did not have a good impression of Zaar Caiyun at all, so he immediately felt his head ache.
"Mu 'er, did you know that when I was young, I was known as a genius in the clan? My father, mother, steward Chang Bo, and many people in the Changyang Prefecture all had extremely high hopes for me because I learned everything extremely quickly when I was young. I even had a photographic memory, far surpassing people of the same age. At that time, my father and mother took great care of me, treating me like a treasure. However, several years later, when I participated in the clan's test for Saint Force, I was discovered to have no talent for cultivating Saint Force due to an accident. I would be reduced to a cripple for the rest of my life. I would never be able to produce Saint Force in my body, condense a Saint Weapon, and become a fighter. The news that the fourth young master of the Changyang Prefecture, who had been known as a genius since young, had actually been discovered to be a cripple spread across the entire Changyang Prefecture very quickly, causing my status in the clan to plummet from heaven to hell. My father, Changyang Ba, rarely visited me after that. As a matter of fact, I barely even saw my father in those few years. Only my mother, sister, aunt, and Chang Bo continued to care for me like before. "
"Back then, even though I was the fourth young master of the Changyang Prefecture, the son of the current prefect of Changyang Prefecture, Changyang Ba, some of the servants in the clan would bully, mock, and mock me. I don't know if my father had already forgotten about me, but he never helped me. Even though that was the case, I did not resent my father at all, nor did I blame him, because he was still my father after all, the one who had given me life."
"Or in other words, I treasured this period of kinship very much because we had parents. Even if your parents had once wronged you, it was still happiness to you. It was because of their existence that you were happy. On the Tian Yuan Continent, there are many fatherless and motherless orphans. There are even some orphans whose parents have left the world due to various reasons as soon as they are born. They have never received any care or care since they were young, and they do not even know what their parents look like. I can clearly understand this feeling, so compared to these people, we are all happy. At the very least, our seniors are still around, and our family is still around. "
"Mu 'er, I've learnt a few things about the past from your father. I know that you resent your father, and a large part of it comes from your mother. Actually, your father regretted the matters of the past very much as well, but it has already happened. Some things have already been decided, so it's useless for him to regret. Time cannot be turned back. Some things that have already happened cannot be changed, and some things that have already been lost can never be recovered. However, he is still your father, the person closest to you in the world."
Jianchen exhaled deeply. He looked at the vast sea in the distance and suddenly became rather stern. He continued, "Moreover, the next invasion of the World of Forsaken Saints is drawing closer and closer. I know about their strength, and you know about it as well. The disparity between our strength is as great as a chasm. Whether it's in terms of numbers or peak battle prowess, our Tian Yuan Continent is at an absolute disadvantage. We don't even have any hope of emerging victorious in the next battle. Our only hope is to use the divine hall to block off the entrance, but whether the divine hall in Mercenary City can be refined in time and whether it can block off the entrance as we wish is still unknown."
"If we can't stop the World of Forsaken Saints from invading the Tian Yuan Continent, the Tian Yuan Continent will only face destruction in the end. Even I don't have the confidence to survive. My family and friends will all die in the next battle. The human race might be completely wiped out in the next battle, including your father, Hao Wu."
Jian Chen's last sentence was like a thunderclap in the Heavenly Enchantress' ears, causing her to violently tremble. A smear of paleness appeared on her face as well. A deep rumble rang out from the zither. Three strings of the zither had snapped.
Jianchen looked at the Heavenly Enchantress. "What I just said is only the worst-case scenario. Maybe we can survive the next battle, but many experts will definitely die on the Tian Yuan Continent. You might even never be able to see your father again after the next battle. These few days of peace might be the last time we can spend with our family."
"Some things, when they exist, when you have them, you don't know how to cherish them. When you lose them one day, you will understand just how important they are to you. But at that time, everything will be too late …"
Jianchen spoke very softly and indifferently, but the Heavenly Enchantress' heart churned when she heard this. She trembled even more violently as a conflicted light filled her eyes.
A while later, the Heavenly Enchantress slowly calmed down. She slowly lowered her head and looked at the broken strings. Her eyes were filled with mixed feelings, confusion, and sorrow. She slowly placed her right hand on the broken strings and gently stroked them. In just a few seconds, the strings had returned to normal.
The Heavenly Enchantress slowly stood up and gazed in the direction of the Tian Yuan Continent. The Zither of the Demonic Cry in her arms immediately blurred, turning into an extremely powerful ball of energy that disappeared into her right hand. She left Three Saint Island empty-handed and flew in the direction of the Tian Yuan Continent.
Jianchen's words had touched her greatly. At the same time, she understood that she might never be able to see her father again after the next battle, so she wanted to go to the Tian Yuan Continent to see him. She stowed the Zither of the Demonic Cry away. This time, she was not going to see Hao Wu as the Heavenly Enchantress but as Shangguan Mu 'er.
Jianchen exhaled deeply as he watched the Heavenly Enchantress leave. He smiled before sending a message to Shangguan Aojian, who was playing in the sea on a boat, before following the Heavenly Enchantress.
Although Shangguan Mu 'er could rip open Space Gates, she did not do so this time. Instead, she flew through the air, heading to the Tian Yuan Continent from Three Saint Island. Jianchen followed behind her on the Ziying sword.
