The slightest change in the world

"It would be one thing if just one person defected, but what I fear is that they might use our Medicine King Sect as a sacrificial offering to claim credit."

Liu San's eyebrows twitched slightly. "Therefore, Young Lord should still make thorough preparations just in case."

Li Fan feigned hesitation before finally letting out a long sigh and helplessly agreeing.

"Within the Myriad Immortals Alliance, there is everything. Now, as long as one has enough Contribution Points, exchanging them for a powerful control technique is not a difficult task."

"It's just that we already owe a lot of Contribution Points…"

Hearing this, Liu San immediately patted his chest to reassure Li Fan.

"When I returned this time, I incidentally took out some mature top-grade herbs from Longevity Valley. We should be able to refine some Longevity Pill of exceptional quality."

Li Fan nodded. "In that case, I must trouble you once more, Old Liu."

Liu San didn't mind at all and immediately led a group of Disciples to start refining Longevity Pill.

As for Li Fan, he left the Medicine King Cauldron and intended to return to Congyun Immortal City.

He needed to make some preparations for the upcoming evacuation.

After the Congyun Sea disappeared, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance would likely inspect the surviving Cultivators of the Congyun Sea.

And people like the Medicine King Sect were all considered to be of "Congyun Sea registry".

If only they survived this disaster, wouldn't it raise suspicion?

Therefore, Li Fan planned to fish in troubled waters. He would find an excuse to send another batch of people out of the Congyun Sea. The number of people should be at least double the Cultivators registered by the Medicine King Sect, so that it would seem reasonable.

Name after name flashed through Li Fan's mind. Just as he flew up and prepared to leave,

he suddenly heard the cry of an infant.

Li Fan was slightly stunned. Sweeping over with his Divine Sense, his expression instantly turned somewhat peculiar.

As it turned out, they were, after all, hot-blooded youths and maidens. Now that they had reached the age of romantic awakening and spent their days together on the island day and night, it was inevitable that some sparks would fly.

What surprised Li Fan even more was that the infant's mother was precisely Han Wuyou's mother from his previous life.

But her father had been replaced by someone else.

"Does that mean in this lifetime, the person Han Wuyou will not be born into the world?"

"Is there nothing that is predestined? Or could it be that the so-called destiny is also constantly changing according to the living beings on the ground?"

Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, unable to help falling into deep thought.

The birth of a new life always brings hope to people, especially to these young people who had been locked up for a long time.

Looking at the baby girl's wrinkled face, they were all happy from the bottom of their hearts, continuously silly-smiling.

Su Xiaomei was even clamoring unceasingly, bouncing and extremely excited, wanting to hold the baby girl. She was only resolutely stopped by Xiao Heng.

Looking at such a heartwarming scene on the island, a similar scene from a long time ago instantly flashed before Li Fan's eyes.

A trace of fluctuation also appeared in his gaze.

But very quickly, it disappeared without a trace.

"Without attaining longevity, it is ultimately an illusion."

He had seen too many scenes of white-haired parents burying black-haired children, and had personally experienced many partings of life and death. He no longer cared about such things.

With a heart as cold as ice, Li Fan stopped lingering and flew toward Congyun Immortal City in the clouds.

Returning to the city, Li Fan discovered a familiar figure.

"It's her? As expected, she also sensed her old father's danger?" Li Fan's gaze flickered.

He saw a young girl sitting in a room of the Government Affairs Hall, looking around curiously. It was precisely He Zhenghao's daughter, He Xinxin.

Meanwhile, He Zhenghao, who was originally quite lazy and not very busy with work, now looked extremely busy.

"Lord He, you must help our island with this matter!"

"My Lord, the harvest of tai an fruit on Taian Island is poor this year. Can you show some flexibility?"

…

A crowd of people swarmed behind He Zhenghao, following him into the room.

He Xinxin first sized up He Zhenghao. After confirming that the other party was indeed her father, a trace of pleasant surprise appeared on her face.

Then, seeing him looking busy while surrounded by the crowd in the center, a trace of astonishment surfaced on her face once more.

After all, she was young and could not hide her thoughts.

He Zhenghao took in all the expressions on his daughter's face, and could not help feeling somewhat smug inside.

"Ahem…"

With a sullen face, he reprimanded, "I've already told you all, I have important matters at hand right now! How about this, come back tomorrow, and I will definitely handle this properly for you!"

The group of Cultivators beside He Zhenghao looked at each other and nodded in agreement one after another.

Scattering in a flurry, they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Li Fan couldn't help finding it amusing. These people were clearly all hired by He Zhenghao to play along with his act.

It was simply to show off his prestige in front of his daughter.

"Such petty thoughts…"

Li Fan continued to observe.

Seeing his daughter for the first time, He Zhenghao seemed a bit nervous. Staring at He Xinxin for a long time, he finally muttered to himself, "She looks like me, truly looks like me…"

He Xinxin also timidly looked towards He Zhenghao. After her gaze crossed with his, she hurriedly averted it.

After a long silence,

ultimately, He Xinxin mustered up her courage and softly called out, "Fa… ther…"

Tears instantly blurred He Zhenghao's eyes.

But very soon he suppressed it, quickly stepping forward to take hold of He Xinxin's small hand.

"Ah."

"Let me take a good look…"

He Zhenghao felt as if he were in a dream.

"Never did I imagine that I actually still have a daughter…"

He Xinxin's eyes also turned red as she sobbed slightly.

Father and daughter meeting after many years apart was naturally a moving and tear-jerking scene.

After a long while, their emotions finally calmed down.

He Xinxin said, "I originally wanted to come look for you, Dad, a few years ago, but Mother suddenly appeared and deliberately stopped me."

"No matter what, she refused to let me come over. So it got delayed."

He Xinxin pouted, looking quite angry.

Hearing this, He Zhenghao's expression turned somewhat desolate.

"It is I who failed you both. It is only natural that your mother wouldn't let you come see me; you shouldn't blame her."

As he spoke, He Zhenghao was slightly stunned. "Then why did your mother suddenly let you come over now?"

"Could it be that she has forgiven me and had a change of heart?"

He Zhenghao was overjoyed.

He Xinxin's face flushed slightly as she tugged at He Zhenghao's clothes and shook her head slightly.

"It's not like that, Dad. Mother doesn't know; I succeeded in Foundation Establishment and sneaked over behind her back."

He Xinxin stuck out her tongue, looking embarrassed.

He Zhenghao's body stiffened slightly, and the expression on his face became somewhat awkward.

Seeing this, He Xinxin immediately changed the subject.

"Dad, you don't know, but I risked being scolded to come here this time because there is an extremely important matter I need to remind you of."

He Xinxin said with a serious expression.

"What important matter?" Although He Zhenghao didn't take it to heart, seeing his daughter's solemn appearance, he still lent an ear to listen.

He Xinxin lowered her voice. "When I made my Breakthrough, I had a premonition that you, Dad, were in mortal danger."

"That's why I rushed over from thousands of miles away."

"I discovered that the danger originates right here in the Congyun Sea. Come back with me, Dad. As long as you leave this place and return to Tianyu State, you will be safe and sound."
