Chapter 1064: Chapter 1064: Death News
Zhuge Lian had never seen her father since she was born; she only knew his name, Zhuge Dingtian, from her mother when she was four years old, a man who stood tall and proud.
From that moment on, Zhuge Lian had firmly remembered her father’s name and painted a perfect image of him in her mind.
Later, Zhuge Lian’s mother, Zhou Yuruo, went out to look for her husband, Zhuge Dingtian, but disappeared without a trace and never returned to Zhuge Lian’s side.
When Zhou Yuruo was pregnant, she and her husband Zhuge Dingtian avoided the pursuers from Ruoshui Palace, her husband drawing the assassins away while Zhou Yuruo ended up at Xuannv Sect by chance, where she was taken in, and where Zhuge Lian was born.
Before Zhou Yuruo left to find her husband, she entrusted her daughter, Zhuge Lian, to the care of Xuannv Sect. After her departure, Zhuge Lian naturally became a disciple of Xuannv Sect.
Zhuge Lian was exceptionally intelligent and possessed an Innate Fire Spirit Root; at a very young age, she showed extraordinary talent. At sixteen, she had already reached the Desolate Level Perfection, becoming the youngest personal transmission disciple in the history of Xuannv Sect, considered the most outstanding genius in nearly a thousand years.
During the years of devoted cultivation at Xuannv Sect, as she grew older, Zhuge Lian’s longing for her mother not only did not fade but grew stronger, and she was also full of longing for the father she had never met.
Although many said that Zhuge Lian’s parents might have both perished, Zhuge Lian stubbornly believed they were still alive, just trapped somewhere, temporarily unable to meet with her.
Although Purple Flame Sect and Xuannv Sect were thousands of miles apart, they had always had a connection. It was said that the founding ancestors of both sects were a pair of brother and sister disciples who had good relations. In subsequent generations, disciples from the two sects intermarried and formed a military alliance agreeing to share fortunes and misfortunes alike.
At every sect convention held by Thousand Lakes Country, Purple Flame Sect, as the host, would invite high ranks and some disciples from Xuannv Sect as observation guests, and this time was no exception.
This time, the high-ranking member sent by Xuannv Sect was an elder named Han Xingyu, who possessed mid-Vast Level cultivation, along with nine disciples including Zhuge Lian.
This was the first time Zhuge Lian had left Xuannv Sect. She heard that after the sect convention at Purple Flame Sect, the sect’s disciples would follow Elder Han to other places for experience to broaden their horizons and temper their minds. She was secretly delighted, thinking she could take the opportunity to inquire about her parents during her travels.
The disciples of Xuannv Sect arrived at Purple Flame Sect two days before those from Bitao Martial Academy, staying in the accommodations provided by Purple Flame Sect. Bored in the courtyard, Zhuge Lian sneaked out alone without telling her fellow disciples, wandered around the city for a while, and then headed outside the city.
Zhuge Lian also had an extremely keen perception; near Lake Hua outside the city, she sensed dense Fire Primordial Qi and thought there might be treasures, so she excitedly rushed to the shore of Fire Lake, where she encountered Fang Bai.
Zhuge Lian had always kept her parents’ names in mind, so when Fang Bai asked, "Is your mother Zhou Yuruo, and your father Zhuge Dingtian?" she was struck as if by lightning, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably.
In Zhuge Lian’s view, Fang Bai mentioning her parents’ names implied that he had crossed paths with them and might know their whereabouts. How could this not excite Zhuge Lian immensely?
"You... who exactly are you? How do you know my parents? Where are they?"
Zhuge Lian’s eyes, clear as water and distinctly black and white, stared unblinkingly at Fang Bai, her voice trembling as she spoke.
Zhuge Lian bore a vague resemblance to Zhuge Dingtian. The strong reaction she had at the mention of the names "Zhuge Dingtian" and "Zhou Yuruo" led Fang Bai to conclusively determine that she was indeed the daughter of Zhuge Dingtian.
Originally, Fang Bai had promised in front of the remains of Zhuge Dingtian that if he had the chance to go to the Minor World, he would find Zhuge Dingtian’s wife and child, inform them of his death, and offer them protection as best as he could. Now, having met the daughter of Zhuge Dingtian, he had fulfilled half of his promise, and his mood greatly improved.
"This is a long story... Little Lian, right? Let’s sit over there and talk slowly!"
Fang Bai decided to tell Zhuge Lian about Zhuge Dingtian’s matters, so he pointed to a nearby patch of grass and then started walking towards it.
Zhuge Lian was still unsure whether Fang Bai was a friend or foe of her parents and, sensing that she couldn’t detect any Martial Artist Aura from Fang Bai and knew that he was much stronger than herself, she followed behind him with clenched fists, a look of caution on her face.
The two sat down on the smooth grass, deliberately keeping some distance between them. Zhuge Lian asked, "Hey... Bai Fang... Senior Bai, can you now answer the question I just asked?"
In front of Zhuge Lian, a naive and simple girl devoid of any scheming, Fang Bai had no intention of concealing his identity. He wiped his hand over his face, quickly revealing his true appearance.
"This is my real face. I had changed my appearance to make it easier to handle certain matters."
Facing Zhuge Lian’s surprised and puzzled gaze, Fang Bai smiled faintly and then solemnly said, "I come from the Secular World, and I am currently a disciple of the Bitao Martial Academy. My name is Fang Bai. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to the Bitao Martial Academy to find me, and I will do my best to help you. Regarding your parents... I actually didn’t know them personally, but I saw your father’s last words in a tomb in the Secular World..."
When Fang Bai mentioned the words "last words," he distinctly felt Zhuge Lian’s body tremble violently. He turned to look at her pale face, feeling deeply sympathetic, knowing that she was struggling to cope with her father’s death, and he sighed softly before continuing.
"My father is dead... That’s impossible... I remember my mother telling me that my father was a remarkable and very powerful man, someone who could hold up the heavens. How could he possibly die? How is it possible?"
As Fang Bai finished recounting the events, Zhuge Lian’s gaze became vacant and despairing; she shook her head weakly, muttering to herself.
"Little Lian, your father fell in the Secular World. This is absolutely true. I have here a Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, one of your father’s relics. Once we find your mother, she should recognize this blade that your father once used. Then you will know whether what I’m telling you is true or false."
Fang Bai spoke earnestly to Zhuge Lian.
Zhuge Lian partly believed what Fang Bai said, but she was unwilling to accept the truth of her father’s death. Her eyes reddened, she bent her legs, tightly hugged her knees, buried her head in her arms, and suddenly burst into loud sobs.
