Heavenly chanism Pavilion, Great Hall.
"I thought it was soone else, turns out it’s you, old geezer!"
Jiang Fan looked at the visitors, focusing on a leader dressed in silver armor, clutching a long knife, and rolled his eyes.
"By the way, where did you steal that outfit from?"
The old man was skinny as a stick, with a white beard, wearing the uniform of a Director of the Qintian Bureau, exuding an official deanor.
If it weren’t for the Sky Observation Treasure hanging on his chest, which Jiang Fan was all too familiar with.
Jiang Fan almost didn’t recognize that this was actually the Six-Path Masters!
"How dare you talk to the director like that?!"
The old eyes of the Six-Path Masters widened, commanding authority without anger: "I am the new director of the Qintian Bureau, Six Paths!"
"Routine inspection of all sects, checking defenses."
"Vice Pavilion Master Jiang, please cooperate with the work of this director."
Jiang Fan’s eyes almost popped out.
No way, wasn’t Six-Path Masters wanted by the Qintian Bureau, with Bai Xin hunting him down?
How did he manage to beco a director of the Qintian Bureau?
He looked incredulous and said, "Old man, are you sure you’re not pulling my leg?"
Six-Path Masters snorted, "Impudence! Disrespect the director again, and you’ll face severe punishnt!"
Jiang Fan found it both amusing and vexing.
This old guy, putting on airs?
He slapped the armrest, and the next mont, teleported in front of the old man, throwing a punch.
With his punch, ten zhang golden Divine Images, Imperial Human Images, and Earth Elephants erged simultaneously.
Although Six-Path Masters had also successfully broken through to the Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul, in terms of physique, he was no match for Jiang Fan.
He was imdiately sent stumbling back, falling on his butt, cracking the ground like a spider web.
"Ouch!" Six-Path Masters winced in pain, cursing, "You brat, hitting an old man so hard?"
Jiang Fan chuckled, "Who told you to talk nonsense?"
Six-Path Masters got up, rubbing his backside, and signaled to the group of Sky Watchers, "Everyone, out."
Once the hall was empty.
Six-Path Masters gave Jiang Fan a hard look, "Not seen for a while, and your cultivation has improved again!"
"You, kid, are a freak!"
Jiang Fan paid him no mind, examining his Qintian Bureau uniform, and asked:
"How many fake drinks did the Great Wine Sacrifice consu, to let a demon take up the role of a director in the Qintian Bureau?"
Six-Path Masters puffed out his chest, patting his chest armor, full of pride:
"Are you envious or not!"
"Hehehe, even I didn’t expect it, the Great Wine Sacrifice would let atone for my sins, allowing to remain in the Qintian Bureau as a director."
"He’s truly a good man."
Oh?
Jiang Fan pondered.
The Great Wine Sacrifice’s deeds must have deeper considerations.
No way he would give an opportunity to soone with a terrible reputation to beco a director for no reason.
Suddenly, he thought of sothing.
His eyes flashed with keen insight, and he said, "Bai Xin... is she your daughter?"
Upon hearing this.
Six-Path Masters took off the Sky Observation Treasure from his neck and pulled out the Ancient Heart Mirror from his pocket.
Then handed both to Jiang Fan, his old face overflowing with joy:
"They’re no longer needed."
"Giving them to you!"
Jiang Fan was stunned for a mont.
Soon he understood.
The only purpose of Six-Path Masters seeking the Sky Observation Treasure and the Ancient Heart Mirror at any cost.
Was to find his lost daughter among the vast population.
If they’re no longer needed, it ans the daughter has been found.
A trace of joy sprang from the depths of his heart.
Joy for Six-Path Masters.
After six decades, Six-Path Masters finally fulfilled his lifelong wish as his end drew near.
He patted Six-Path Masters’ shoulder heavily, his eyes full of relief:
"Congratulations, old fellow."
"You and your daughter, finally reunited."
Six-Path Masters’ eyes welled up, unable to suppress tears of joy.
He bent down, bowing deeply to Jiang Fan:
"Thank you for fulfilling my dream."
"And for allowing this old body to resolve the regrets of this life before entering the earth."
If Jiang Fan hadn’t reminded him to take a look at Bai Xin, Six-Path Masters would never have thought until his death.
That the Bai Xin who was relentlessly hunting him was his long-lost daughter all along.
Jiang Fan helped him up, saying, "There’s no need for formalities between us."
He and Six-Path Masters have walked this journey together, both enemies and friends, both teacher and friend.
Six-Path Masters finally achieved his wish, and Jiang Fan genuinely felt happy for him.
"Have you and your daughter recognized each other?" Jiang Fan asked.
Six-Path Masters shook his head, "No."
"She has lost all mories from before her disappearance and doesn’t recognize ."
Jiang Fan was taken aback.
He had once urged Bai Xin to see the true face of Six-Path Masters.
Hoping Bai Xin would recall her biological father.
Unexpectedly, Bai Xin had forgotten the past.
Could this be the handiwork of the Great Wine Sacrifice?
Moreover, according to their previous speculation, Six-Path Masters’ daughter should be an old woman with white hair by now.
But Bai Xin still maintains the appearance of a young girl, no doubt due to so secret technique by the Great Wine Sacrifice, sealing her for sixty years, only to awaken her in recent years.
Jiang Fan asked in surprise, "Since you’re also in the Qintian Bureau, you should be able to see Bai Xin often."
"Why don’t you disclose her origins to her?"
"Bai Xin is a very smart person, she’ll discern the truth in your words."
"You two can easily recognize each other..."
But before Jiang Fan could finish, he was quickly interrupted by Six-Path Masters.
"Absolutely not!"
"I ca today, not just to give you the Sky Observation Treasure and Ancient Heart Mirror, but also because I heard you were back, to specifically instruct you."
"Please, don’t tell Bai Xin that I am her biological father."
Jiang Fan was stunned, "Why?"
Wasn’t finding his daughter the lifelong obsession of Six-Path Masters?
Now that his daughter is in front of him, why wouldn’t he want a father-daughter reunion?
Six-Path Masters’ eyes showed sha, "She is wholeheartedly righteous, loathes evil."
"And I have committed many atrocities over the years, exactly the person she despises the most."
"If she knows I am her father, where would she place herself?"
"Acknowledge , and violate her sense of justice."
"Not acknowledge, and violate filial piety."
"So, don’t let her face such a dilemma."
Jiang Fan frowned, "Then what’s the point of finding her?"
Six-Path Masters laughed heartily, "I looked for her just to know if my child has been well all these years."
"Now she’s a renowned director of the Taicang State, a respected leader of the righteous path."
"I’m relieved."
"As for the inability to reunite, while it’s a bit regrettable, being able to stay by her side, watching her walk on her path, I’m content."
Jiang Fan was moved.
The heart of every parent in the world.
From a high-spirited middle-aged man, searching for sixty years, becoming an elderly man.
All just to see if the child is well.
Even for the sake of the child, leaving the reunion as just a wish, only able to accompany as a stranger.
He finally understood why the Great Wine Sacrifice allowed Six-Path Masters to atone, becoming a director.
It was to fulfill Six-Path Masters.
To let him accompany his daughter for the last leg of his life.
At the sa ti, it was also a form of compensation from the Great Wine Sacrifice.
It was the Great Wine Sacrifice who took Bai Xin away back then, causing Six-Path Masters’ life of wandering.
Although the Great Wine Sacrifice’s intent was to prevent Bai Xin from becoming a True Demon, wreaking havoc on the world.
Yet it ultimately hard Six-Path Masters.
He patted Six-Path Masters’ shoulder and nodded heavily:
"I’ll keep your secret."
Six-Path Masters thought for a mont, then took out a stack of docunts, saying:
"I said before if you help find my daughter, I would kowtow to thank you."
"You certainly wouldn’t allow to do that."
"So I’ll give this to you as thanks."
