Grand Lord Hong Lian smiled with a never-before-seen warmth in his grim eyes as he stroked Gu Ruoyun's hair affectionately, "The gates of the Red Lotus Territory will always be open to you. As long you wish to come home, you can visit me anytime. Understood?"
Gu Ruoyun nodded. She then took two steps forward and embraced Grand Lord Hong Lian once again.
She lowered her eyelids, concealing her resolution.
"Father, please forgive me for not being able to stay by your side. Since I don't want to remain under anyone's wings, I have no choice but to grow stronger. Once I'm strong enough, only then can our family be reunited."
She understood that the enemy's power was currently beyond her reach. All she could do now was to quickly increase her own level of power.
"By the way, could you explain the power division of the First City to me and the world beyond the rank of a Martial Saint?"
