Chapter 767: Chapter 767 That Melodramatic Love Triangle_1

Upon hearing this, Lucy Frost instantly felt much more at ease.

Although her strength was not very high, after all, she had been in Mount Kahdas Cave Heaven for over twenty years and had a full understanding of this world.

Although Master Campbell of Nutwood Mountain had few disciples and no Sect inheritance, his strength was immensely powerful, making him one of the top cultivators in the Cultivation Realm.

As his Direct Disciple, Carson Flores would be given due respect even in Mount Kahdas.

"Master Campbell is known for his eccentric personality, so what do you think he would do if someone killed his Direct Disciple?"

If he took action, he wouldn’t care whether it was Mount Kahdas or someplace else; in his eyes, there was no difference.

Carson Flores lowered his head, picked up his scattered clothes, walked to the stream, and began to rinse them, all the while asking, "Mom, did I just hear them say Dad has gone missing?"

Lucy Frost nodded somberly, "He had joined an elder from our Sect to explore the Harmony Hollow Forbidden Ground. The whole team was attacked by demon beasts. Although the elder managed to escape, he was left crippled, and most of the other disciples were either killed or severely injured. Your father also went missing, and there has been no news of him since..."

A heaviness settled in Carson Flores’s heart, the Harmony Hollow Forbidden Ground!

It hadn’t been long since Joaquin Moses mentioned the Tomb of the Demon Emperor being located within Harmony Hollow, but he had never expected his father to also disappear there.

Carson Flores consoled,"Just missing doesn’t necessarily mean dead; he might suddenly reappear one day."

Lucy Frost of course knew her son was trying to comfort her. She was well aware of the reality that her husband was most likely dead, but as his closest family, she couldn’t give up as long as there was the slightest bit of hope.

Quickly washing the dirt off his clothing, Carson Flores wrung them out, and placed them in a wooden basin to carry, "Mom, let’s go, we should head back."

Seeing how adept Carson Flores was at washing clothes, Lucy Frost knew her son must have endured many hardships over the years. Otherwise, how could his washing movements be so sharp and efficient?

Thinking of this, she felt a new wave of sorrow and guilt.

The two returned to the courtyard house, Lucy Frost deactivated the wards, and they entered the room.

"What have you been through all these years? How is Mr. Andrew?"

Carson Flores handed the letter from Andrew to Lucy Frost, "Master has taught me to be independent since I was young, instructed me in cultivation, and later, I even spent five years as a soldier. When I returned, Master arranged a marriage for me..."

Lucy Frost’s eyes brightened, "You’re married?"

Carson Flores smiled, "Yes."

Lucy Frost asked worriedly, "Then what about her with you entering Nutwood Mountain?"

Carson Flores responded, "Don’t worry; she has her own fortune. Her ancestors were from Rajevols Divine Mountain, and then she was allowed into Rajevols to inherit her ancestors’ cultivation. We will meet again someday."

Relieved, Lucy Frost said, "That’s good; I was worried about one of you in the Cultivation Realm and the other in the mortal world. That would be too difficult."

Carson Flores chuckled, "You also have another daughter-in-law in the Heavenly Mountain Cave. She was injured, and to save her, I used a Heavenly Mountain entrance token to send her into the Heavenly Mountain..."

Lucy Frost’s eyes widened, "Two?"

Carson Flores nodded and briefly recounted the story of the three of them; Lucy Frost’s expression became complex after hearing it, and she sighed, "They are both good women; you have to treat them well and not let them down."

Carson Flores nodded and then asked, "Can you tell me what happened after you were brought back to Mount Kahdas by Miss Tang?"

With a complicated look, Lucy Frost said, "Miss Tang was very fond of your father. If it hadn’t been for me, your father would have probably ended up with Miss Tang. I didn’t have an entrance token, and by the rules, I shouldn’t have been allowed to enter Mount Kahdas. Miss Tang took us there, then she petitioned the Cave Master and voluntarily took a 20-year punishment to guard the North Cold City, in exchange for allowing me entry into Mount Kahdas. She saved our lives, helped me enter Mount Kahdas, and made my marriage with your father possible."

Carson Flores murmured, "So Miss Tang has done a great favor for our family?"

"Yes, after the Cave Master agreed, she went alone to North Cold City. Twenty years passed before she returned, and by then, your father had been missing for years. These past years, she has occasionally visited me, and without her help, I would have faced an even harder life."

Lucy Frost continued with a complex expression, "Miss Tang is a good person. She could have saved only your father and not me; after all, my injuries were severe, and it would have been normal if I couldn’t be saved. But she did save me and did so much for me. I know she did all this, not for me, but for your father."

"Thinking about her suffering alone in North Cold City, battling with demon beasts, while I had the joy of being with your father, it made me feel uneasy. Since I have little power and no means to repay her, I decided once she returned after twenty years, I would quietly leave to let them be together. But fate doesn’t always follow plans, just before she returned, your father went missing..."

Carson Flores blinked, not knowing quite what to say about this complicated love affair.

His father had the deeply loving Miss Tang at his side, while his mother had Gunner Tate who loved her unattainably and ended up going mad...

After a few seconds of silence, Carson Flores asked softly, "Did dad have feelings for Miss Tang?"
