Return to the palace.
Standing outside the main hall door, Wan'er stopped, her expression became very complicated.
I haven’t been back here for more than twenty years. Everything is so familiar and yet everything is so strange.
Fear of being close to home.
When she was in the lower realm, she would often think of her life in the palace.
But when I actually got here, I felt a little uneasy.
She doesn't know what her father has become now. Does he still love her as much as before?
The old eunuch stood aside respectfully, not daring to breathe.
He didn't know why, but he was always so nervous when he saw Zhao Tianming now.
"Let's go."
Zhao Tianming grabbed Wan'er's hand and walked into the hall.
Emperor Qin stood deep in the hall, looking at Zhao Tianming and Wan'er from a distance.
"Wan'er meets Father."
Wan'er knelt down and worshiped.
"Flat body."
Emperor Qin stepped forward and pulled Wan'er up. His lips trembled slightly and his eyes were full of doting. It was obvious that he was very excited.
The father and daughter looked at each other for a long time.
Finally, Emperor Qin patted Wan'er on the shoulder: "It will be good to come back, it will be good to come back."
Wan'er didn't know what to say.
"How have you been, father, these years?"
After a while, she smiled slightly and asked.
"Not so good, because I'm lonely without you here."
Emperor Qin said seriously.
Wan'er didn't answer.
"Will you live in the palace in the future?"
Emperor Qin asked again.
Wan'er shook her head: "I will live in the college."
"Okay, I won't force it either."
Emperor Qin sighed, looked at Zhao Tianming again, and said seriously: "Zhao Tianming, you are the consort of my Qin Empire and Wan'er's husband. Today, I will entrust Wan'er to you. You must not let her down. You must take care of her and love her at all times. If anything happens to me, take care of her for me."
Wan'er's body trembled slightly.
"Father!"
Emperor Qin waved his hand and continued to stare into Zhao Tianming's eyes, as if he wanted to see through the latter.
Zhao Tianming nodded seriously: "I will definitely protect her for the rest of my life. This is my promise and oath."
"Okay, I believe you, so I feel relieved."
Emperor Qin breathed a sigh of relief.
The atmosphere actually became a little awkward.
Zhao Tianming said to Wan'er, "Why don't you go out and wait for me first?"
Wan'er looked at him, then at Emperor Qin, and finally nodded and walked out.
The door of the hall was closed again.
Zhao Tianming took out the dragon-slaying sword and arranged the barrier.
Emperor Qin looked at the dragon-slaying sword above his head and was a little moved: "This sword of yours is really powerful, and your sister is even more powerful."
His eyes were shining.
Of course, I don't want to covet the dragon-slaying sword in front of me.
Zhao Tianming also understood this and said straight to the point: "Now, you don't have to worry about anyone being able to hear our conversation. No one, including the dean, can break this barrier."
Emperor Qin nodded: "I believe it."
"Then let's be honest. What's your status in the God Destroyer Alliance?"
Zhao Tianming asked.
Emperor Qin was startled: "Do you know about the God-Destroying Alliance? Who told you?"
"Don't worry about this. I just want to know who started this God-Destroying Alliance?"
Zhao Tianming asked.
Emperor Qin actually shook his head: "I don't know, I'm just one of its members, but the members in the alliance are almost all the top people in the Sword Spirit Continent, and many of them will exceed your expectations."
"There are also people from the academy, right?"
"Yes."
"The original poster is also among them, right?"
Zhao Tianming frowned.
Emperor Qin didn't speak.
"Where's Mr. Seven?"
Emperor Qin still didn't speak.
If you don’t say it, it’s the default.
Maybe it can't be said.
Zhao Tianming's heart was still filled with shock and a trace of doubt.
"can not say?"
"Unless you agree to join the God-Destroying Alliance, then I can tell you everything about the alliance, and we can make you the leader."
Emperor Qin said with some anticipation.
Zhao Tianming shook his head decisively.
"I won't participate."
Emperor Qin said: "Some things cannot be avoided if you want to."
"I told you, I have no interest in playing with you, and besides, I hate being taken advantage of."
Zhao Tianming's tone became a little cold.
Emperor Qin sighed: "Okay, I won't force you to choose whatever you want from now on. I only have one request, help me take good care of Wan'er."
"I don't understand. You clearly know that the chance of success is almost zero, so why do you still do this? Do you know that together, you may not be his opponent? You will die miserably. He is the world leader. spirit!"
Zhao Tianming couldn't help but continue: "If you die, Wan'er will be sad."
"Some things always need people to do it. Instead of being kept in captivity and unable to control one's own destiny, it is better to risk everything and fight to the death. Maybe there will be a glimmer of hope. I have lived long enough and I am tired of living. Really .”
Emperor Qin suddenly became a little excited.
Zhao Tianming looked at him with some sympathy, but didn't know how to persuade him.
From Emperor Qin's perspective, perhaps this was their only choice.
Emperor Qin added: "We don't have a good background like you. No matter what, he will not hurt you. If you want, you can leave Sword Spirit Continent and go to the fairy world at any time. Mr. Da and Miss Xu will protect you." , No one can do anything to you, but we can’t. We have to fight for a new path. Even if we die, we will light a fire for those who come after us and point them to the way forward.”
Zhao Tianming was silent.
Can't refute.
Because Emperor Qin was right.
After a while, Zhao Tianming turned around and left.
After walking a few steps, he stopped again and said without looking back, "No matter what, I will take good care of Wan'er."
"Thanks."
Emperor Qin's voice came from behind.
"When are you going to start?"
Zhao Tianming asked again.
Emperor Qin said: "I don't know, maybe tomorrow, maybe a long time later, but sooner or later it will be done."
Zhao Tianming stopped asking, put away the Dragon Slaying Sword, and walked out of the palace hall.
In the distance, Wan'er stood there, looking a little lonely.
Zhao Tianming stepped forward and took Wan'er into his arms.
Wan'er didn't ask or say anything. She just lay in Zhao Tianming's arms and closed her eyes, with a few tears quietly flowing from the corners of her eyes.
"No matter what, you have me."
Zhao Tianming said affectionately.
Wan'er didn't speak.
He just held him a little tighter.
"No matter what, he loves you and he is a good father."
Zhao Tianming said again.
Wan'er suddenly raised her head: "Do you still remember the first time we met?"
Zhao Tianming was startled: "Of course I remember."
"Then let's go and stay there tonight."
Wan'er smiled slightly, but it was hard to tell that she was in a bad mood.
Zhao Tianming agreed without thinking.
"Okay, everything is up to you."
The two walked out of the imperial city.
In the distance, Emperor Qin stood outside the main hall, looking at the two people walking away. He also looked lonely, with a sense of sadness.
But his eyes were firm.
Some things have to be done by someone.
Success or failure is not important.
What matters is the courage to choose.
In a sense, taking that step is also a kind of success!
