Chapter 39: The Power of the Law of Space — We Only Want Daddy
“That aura... did someone just comprehend the Law of Space?”
“Someone actually managed to comprehend the power of Laws before becoming an Immortal? Their future must be limitless!”
“Quick, go see who it was!”
Sensing the crowd rushing over, Lu Xunxian frowned slightly. With a wave of his sleeve, he directly swept Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun away, leaving only Chen Wangu behind.
When Chen Wangu opened his eyes, he found himself surrounded by countless cultivators.
Completely baffled, he frowned and asked, “What are all of you doing?”
At that moment, the cultivators surrounding Chen Wangu had already recognized his identity, and all of them spoke in shock.
“Hiss, Chairman Chen, I never expected that you would actually comprehend the power of the Law of Space!”
“Chairman Chen, I assume you are about to Ascend to the Immortal Realm soon, aren’t you?”
“Chairman Chen, your comprehension of the power of the Law of Space truly makes the rest of us envious.”
Listening to them, Chen Wangu only felt his head buzzing, still somewhat confused.
But very soon, a flash of insight struck him. He looked toward where Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun had originally been, only to find it empty.
“Take the blame for this.”
At that moment, Lu Xunxian’s voice rang out in his mind.
At that point, how could Chen Wangu still not understand what had happened? He could only force a smile and accept the matter for what it was.
“That’s right. It was indeed this Venerable One who comprehended the power of the Law of Space.”
Elsewhere, Lu Xunxian had already brought Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun back to the inn.
The moment they returned, Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun opened their eyes and excitedly spoke to their father.
“Daddy, we comprehended the Law of Space!”
Although one had to comprehend the power of Laws in order to break through to the True Immortal Realm, that did not mean only True Immortals could wield the power of Laws.
Those below the True Immortal Realm could also comprehend the power of Laws. It was simply so difficult that very few people could manage it before breaking through to the True Immortal Realm.
Even in the Immortal Realm!
“Very good. Your talents did not disappoint Daddy.”
Lu Xunxian smiled as he crouched down and gently rubbed Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun on the head.
The moment they comprehended the Law of Space, both of their realms had also broken through from the Early Monarch Realm to the Peak of the Monarch Realm.
More importantly, with the augmentation of the Law of Space, even those a whole major realm above them might not necessarily be able to defeat them.
That was, unless the opponent had likewise comprehended the power of Laws.
Looking at the satisfied expressions on their faces, Lu Xunxian thought it over again and again. In the end, he still decided to tell them the truth.
His expression turned serious as he looked at them and said, “Son, daughter, Daddy has something very important to tell you next. I hope you will be prepared for it.”
But before Lu Xunxian could say anything about Feng Qingyu, Lu Qingyun had already guessed it.
“Daddy, is it about Mother?”
“How did you know?” Lu Xunxian asked in surprise.
“Because everyone else has a mother, but we have always only been with Daddy.”
By the time she said that, Lu Qingyun sounded somewhat downcast.
At the Myriad Dao Academy, she had made quite a few friends, and all of those friends had mothers. Only she did not.
Although she had wanted many times to ask where her mother had gone, seeing how much Daddy had already worried and cared for them, she had never asked.
And now that Daddy had said he had something important to tell them, she had guessed it.
Sensing the sadness in his daughter’s voice, Lu Xunxian stepped forward and gently hugged her.
“I’m sorry. Daddy really was going to tell you about Mother.”
Very soon, Lu Xunxian told his son and daughter everything that had happened back then.
“So that is why Daddy never told you before.”
“If you want Mother, Daddy can take you to her.”
After saying that, Lu Xunxian felt deeply uneasy inside.
That was what he said, but if his son and daughter truly chose to go to their mother, he would still be heartbroken for a long time.
But in the next instant, Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun both shook their heads in unison.
“We only want Daddy. We do not want Mother.”
“Since Mother does not want us anymore, then we do not want Mother anymore either.”
Children were simple. Lu Xunxian was the one who had raised them, and he was also the one who had treated them well, so in their hearts, they only acknowledged Lu Xunxian as their father. They would not acknowledge Feng Qingyu as their mother.
If Feng Qingyu had left because she had no other choice, then perhaps it would still have been understandable. But abandoning her husband and children was something they could never accept.
“You two... Daddy did not love you in vain.”
Lu Xunxian was deeply moved. He stepped forward and embraced both Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun.
He held them for quite a while before finally letting go. His tone was still serious.
“Other than the matter of your mother, Daddy has one more important thing to tell you.”
Soon, Lu Xunxian told them about the Tiansheng Grand Tournament.
“And if Daddy is not mistaken, your mother will most likely participate as well. So Daddy respects your choice.”
He had sensed that Feng Qingyu was in the Early Monarch Realm, and there were still ten years left before the Tiansheng Grand Tournament.
Ten years was enough time for Feng Qingyu to break through to the Emperor Realm.
When that time came, she would definitely participate in the Tiansheng Grand Tournament.
As soon as Lu Xunxian finished speaking, Lu Xiaoyao opened his mouth without the slightest hesitation.
“Daddy, there is no need to say anything else. I am going to participate in the Tiansheng Grand Tournament!”
“I want to tell Mother just how wrong her choice was back then.”
“Abandoning Daddy was the greatest mistake of her life!”
At the side, Lu Qingyun did not hesitate for long either.
“Daddy, my brother and I will sweep the top two spots in this Tiansheng Grand Tournament!”
“Good. Do your best, but do not force yourselves.”
Hearing that, Lu Xunxian revealed a gratified expression and spoke.
Just then, Chen Wangu finally returned to the inn after dealing with the crowd of cultivators outside, and the moment he got back, he started complaining to Lu Xunxian.
“No, really, why couldn’t you leave Xiaoyao and Qingyun outside? That was the perfect chance for them to make a name for themselves.”
“And even if you did not want them to make a name for themselves, you should at least have taken me with you.”
Lu Xunxian shook his head. “They are still too young, so I plan to let them make their name at the Tiansheng Grand Tournament instead.”
“If I had taken you away as well, they would have started investigating who had actually comprehended the power of the Law of Space. So you had to stay there and take the blame.”
Hearing that, Chen Wangu could not help rolling his eyes at Lu Xunxian, though he did not pursue the matter further.
Soon, he walked up to Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun, grabbed their hands, and began examining their condition.
After a long while, a look of envy appeared on Chen Wangu’s face.
“I truly do not know how you managed to give birth to two such monsters. They actually comprehended the power of the Law of Space at such a young age.”
“You should know that even now, this old man has yet to comprehend a single Law.”
“It was only by chance.”
Lu Xiaoyao replied with a humble expression.
But Chen Wangu shook his head. Then, recalling what Lu Xunxian had said earlier, his expression instantly turned serious.
“So, you are planning to let the two of them participate in the Tiansheng Grand Tournament?”
