Chapter 923: How Can Enemies Live?
The soul-wrenching pain made Miranda feel as if she were falling into an endless abyss.
However, after the pain subsided, she felt enveloped in a boundless warmth, and her soul experienced a sense of comfort.
From childhood to now, everything she had experienced seemed to become extraordinarily clear.
It felt as though an entire world had passed, yet it also seemed like just a fleeting moment. Miranda regained her consciousness once more.
She suddenly realized that she was still in the grand hall!
However, Master Valdez had left at some point without her noticing.
Miranda, with a lingering sense of fear and unease, checked her condition thoroughly.
From head to toe, she was unharmed.
Yet, within her soul, it seemed as though something had been added.
The feeling was akin to a bubble appearing in a vast ocean.
However, there was no discomfort.
“What exactly happened?”
“Master Valdez said he would enlighten me. Could this be considered enlightenment?”
“He didn’t say anything to me!”
Miranda’s beautiful eyes were filled with deep confusion.
Meanwhile, on the other side!
On the mountain behind Kagyu School, Lachlan was constantly monitoring Miranda’s situation through the mental field and knew what had transpired.
However, even he was unsure of what exactly Master Valdez had done to Miranda.
He could “see” that after Miranda made eye contact with Master Valdez, she seemed to become completely dazed.
It was as if she were in a hypnotic state.
Lachlan noticed this and immediately became tense.
When he “saw” Master Valdez approaching Miranda through the mental field, he feared that the master might harm her.
However, after Master Valdez lightly touched Miranda’s forehead with his finger for a few seconds, he turned and left the hall.
Miranda then opened her eyes.
Although she appeared confused, she didn’t seem to be in any danger.
Only then did Lachlan breathe a sigh of relief.
“Mr. Willis, your parents received sky burial here years ago!
This mound is their cenotaph.”
At this moment, Sierra led Lachlan to the mountainside of the peak.
There lay a mound of earth.
There was no tombstone or name, only some clothing left behind by his father Cedric Wills and mother Aliya Wynter buried within.
Looking at the mound, Lachlan felt an overwhelming sadness and his eyes welled up with tears.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
The greatest regret in life is wanting to care for your parents when they are no longer around!
“Dad, Mom, your unfilial son is here! You raised me, but I didn’t have the chance to repay you before you left.
Rest assured, I will tear apart those who harmed you and avenge your deaths!”
Lachlan knelt there, his voice choked with emotion.
His father’s stern face and his mother Aliya’s gentle demeanor seemed vividly clear in his mind.
Yet, they had already gone to another world!
“Dad, Mom, I hope you are living well in that other world.
There, you won’t have to worry about the curse left by the Ancient Willis family or suffer any more torment.
You must be well.”
Lachlan spoke to the mound through his tears.
In the end, he couldn’t help but cry out loud.
“Dad, Mom, I miss you! I miss you so much!
You didn’t even get to see your granddaughter!
I miss you… Your son wishes he could see you one more time…”
At this moment, Lachlan was no longer the decisive and brilliant genius who shone at the Seed of the Star Path selection tournament.
Nor was he the young master of Sun Moon Isle or the heir of Dudrar Dragon!
He cried like a helpless boy missing his parents.
After who knows how long, a gentle hand wiped away his tears.
Then, kneeling beside Lachlan, Miranda bowed several times toward the mound.
“Dad, Mom, I am your daughter-in-law Miranda.
For the rest of my life, I will take good care of your son. Rest assured.”
Miranda’s beautiful eyes were also red with tears.
Hearing Lachlan, usually so strong and resolute, cry so sorrowfully broke her heart as well.
“Dad, Mom, do you see? This is your daughter-in-law.
Hehe… Isn’t she beautiful?
Next time, I’ll bring Nora to meet you too.”
Lachlan took a deep breath, wiped away his tears, forced a smile, and held Miranda’s hand as he spoke.
…
After some time had passed, the two returned to Kagyu School.
This time they didn’t see Master Valdez again and bid farewell to Sierra before leaving.
At the foot of the mountain, Lachlan took a deep breath and asked worriedly, “Honey, what did Master Valdez do to you? Do you feel anything wrong?”
Although he had already checked and even communicated directly with Miranda’s soul,
he still couldn’t help but ask!
“Nothing’s wrong!
At that moment, I just felt like I relived my entire life from birth until now.
Maybe the master wanted me to remember you more deeply.”
Miranda shook her head. As she spoke, her beautiful eyes filled with deep affection and shyness as she looked at Lachlan.
“Yes, that’s necessary!”
Lachlan grinned.
With Miranda by his side, his mood seemed to relax somewhat, partially alleviating the sorrow brought by his parents’ passing.
“Let’s go! We’re heading to Cloud Sea Mountain Base!
Since my parents are dead, how can their enemies still live?”
At this moment, Lachlan’s eyes flashed with a sharp cold light as he gritted his teeth.
An invisible killing intent emanated from him.
Miranda responded with a soft “Mm,” nodded her head without saying another word.
Even though she had a premonition that something significant might happen during this journey.
