Albert rolled his eyes and suddenly asked, Speaking of which, I don’t think I’ve ever heard Mom and Dad mention anything about your origins, Sister Emily.He still remembered the time when Andrew and Charlotte had brought Emily back home with them—she had been around four or five years old then. But no one had ever said a word about where she came from, or who her biological parents were.Emily froze for a moment at the question, then fell silent for a while before replying, I don’t have any memories of that at all.Her delicate eyebrows knitted slightly as she murmured, My earliest memories seem to start from the very first moment I met Master and Mistress… Everything before that is just darkness.Albert frowned too. How strange was that? It seemed Sister Emily’s origins were quite mysterious. He also recalled that when he’d watched Charlotte’s recorded message earlier, she’d said that she and Andrew owed Emily a debt. What did that mean?He pondered the question, but came up with no

Though it’s not exactly fair, the reward is incredibly generous. Are you sure you won’t take the gamble?A faint, warm breath brushed against Albert’s ear. The subtle implication woven into that soft voice made him catch on instantly. He swallowed hard twice, his gaze locking onto Emily’s glistening earlobes—now tinted a faint shade of crimson—and his breathing grew heavy and ragged.The stakes were so high that not even the calmest person in the world could possibly refuse.Deal! he declared firmly.Emily’s departure was set for two days later.This meant she wouldn’t even be able to accompany the Martin family convoy back to Navia City. Yet everyone understood there was no other choice—time was far too pressing for Emily. Her burning Light Heart was sapping her life force with every passing moment; the longer the delay, the more severe her condition would become.So after confirming that the Holy Light Ancient Academy could resolve the crisis of her Light Heart, Albert, despite the

Fine then—I won’t enroll in the Holy Light Ancient Academy at all! I’ll go there and earn money to support Sister Emily outside the academy gates! Albert declared.Christie was left torn between amusement and exasperation. Meanwhile, Angel quickly shook her head and urged, Absolutely not, Albert! Doing that would only hold back your cultivation! You’re at an age where you should be advancing by leaps and bounds—you mustn’t squander this crucial time!Even Emily spoke up earnestly, Albert, you can’t afford to neglect your own problems either. If you go all the way to the Holy Light Ancient Academy but can’t get in to cultivate, you’ll be wasting the most precious years of your life. If that’s the case, then there’s no need for me to go to the academy at all.I’d rather not be separated from you anyway. I’ll just go to the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent with you instead. It’s also an Inner Divine Continent—there might be a way to resolve the burning of my Light Heart there too.Albert

The moment the name left her lips, everyone in the tent stiffened, their gazes sharpening instantly.Is it the Holy Light Ancient Academy of the Central Divine Continent? Angel asked.Vice Dean Elsie nodded, then turned to Albert and Emily. The Holy Light Ancient Academy ranks among the most prestigious institutions of learning in the entire world. It is also one of the founding members of the Academy Alliance—its heritage and foundation are beyond anything you could possibly imagine.Furthermore, the Holy Light Ancient Academy boasts the largest and most illustrious Light Element Department, which is its hallmark. In fact, in a way, Emily is truly suited for that place. Though the academy teems with prodigies, I firmly believe that with her talent, Emily will shine brilliantly even among such exalted company.Christie chipped in as well: The Holy Light Ancient Academy houses a mystical Light Pool. Legend has it that the seeds of all high-grade Soul Power Trees must be tempered in thi

Though he had seemed steady enough on the surface these past two days, Emily finally understood at this moment just how deeply terrified he had been all along.It was a fear he had never felt even when the Regent descended upon their family during the clan assembly.One could only imagine how badly she had frightened him this time.A surge of intense heartache welled up in Emily’s chest. She lifted her delicate hand.Seeing her raise her hand, Albert’s body jolted. He immediately pulled away, stepping back on instinct. Covering his face with his hands, he yelped, Don’t hit my face!Emily froze, then an amused yet exasperated look crossed her face. Her voice turned frosty as she said, Weren’t you just so bold a moment ago? Why are you suddenly afraid of getting beaten?Albert gave an awkward grin. A jumble of emotions had overwhelmed him just now, clouding his judgment in a moment of impulse. He had almost forgotten Emily’s current condition—she really could slap him to death with one

The old man has also been lingering on this matter all these years. Andrew was the bloodline he valued most. After you fled back then, he had a violent falling-out with the Mountain Lord Vein of the clan, and hasn’t had any contact with them for years. I can tell that he also harbors a lingering sense of guilt toward Andrew.When we received the message from Andrew this time, the old man learned that he had fathered a child outside the clan. Though he showed no sign of it on his face, I could sense that his mood had lifted considerably. As for the news about Albert—we actually received it several months ago. The reason we weren’t able to come sooner is that the old man left his seclusion to go to the Mountain Lord Vein. He flew into a rage there, declaring that Albert must be brought back to the clan. If anyone dared to obstruct this again, he would go to the Heavenly Abyss and ask the Ancestor to make the final judgment.And the grievances from all those years ago die with the previo
