I think my luck is turning around.

"I know what you mean. If we start fighting now, it will be like a wild ghost throwing an egg against a rock."

I wouldn't do that, but I can't guarantee that other wandering ghosts wouldn't act inappropriately if they encountered him.

After the first assassination mission failed completely, Li Yuesheng had already informed all the Wild Ghosts that if they encountered Lin Jingqing, they should kill him without mercy, but they should ensure their own safety first.

Their tacit silence remained, and the journey was quiet.

The night was quiet throughout the journey. Back at the music hall, the two returned to their respective rooms. The matter now had a direction; all that remained was to prepare and be ready to depart at any moment.

Back in her shabby little house, An Ge saw someone crouching in the corner—it was Zhan Yu. Why was she crouching in her own room?

"Drenched in rain? What's wrong?"

"Is Master really my father? But he has never protected me. Every time I am bullied, he says that I am bullied because I am weak."

So I've always strived to become stronger, to protect myself with my own abilities. But he's my father; he could protect my self-esteem, protect what I cared about as a child. Now I don't need him anymore, so why does he have to reappear?

Perhaps Zhan Yu didn't hate her father, nor did she reject him; she simply didn't need him anymore, and the time when she needed him had already passed.

"He is only your master, he has no other identity."

He may be your biological father, but he is just your master. His identity has always been that of your master, teaching you martial arts, how to protect yourself, and how to become stronger.

Stop thinking about it. Your past doesn't need your father to seek justice for you anymore, and your present is enough for you on your own.

An Ge's voice was gentle, like an evening breeze caressing the water's surface, comforting Zhan Yu before her. But An Ge was no expert at comforting people! Her world consisted only of self-reliance; only she could save herself, everything else was external. Only by forgiving herself could life become easier.

Raindrops stung her eyes as she looked at the person before her. She still envied An Ge, envied this different person. Everyone else was advising her to accept her father, but only An Ge said to let her go, that he was just her master.

"This is the only different answer I heard today. They all advised me to accept my father, saying that I've been searching for so many years, isn't this the perfect opportunity?"

Is this really the right thing to do? If Zhanyu's father were someone she had never met, she would naturally accept it. But this father watched her grow up, yet he never stood up for her when she was ridiculed; she couldn't accept that.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have revealed this relationship back then. If I had, we would have just been each other's mother's killers, and there wouldn't have been such a complicated relationship."

An Ge's apology wasn't the main thing to Zhan Yu. Zhan Yu forced a smile and looked at her.

"It's not your fault. You're just stating the facts. There's nothing wrong with it."

The problem lies with us; it's with the decisions we made. There's nothing wrong with stating the facts; stating the facts is your ability, and accepting the facts is our choice.

I accept the facts now, but I cannot accept him; I refuse to accept this father.

With her voice choked with sobs, Zhan Yu seemed to be choosing to forgive herself and deny everything.

An Ge plopped down next to Zhan Yu, crossing her legs. An Ge told Zhan Yu about her trip to Nangge Island, letting her decide for herself whether to go. Even if she didn't acknowledge her father, seeing her mother would be good, and it would be a success in finding her family.

"Nangak Island? Isn't it difficult to get in there?"

"But have you forgotten? You are a baby girl born to a fairy from Nangka Island, and you should be qualified to go in. You carry your mother's bloodline, so the system there should recognize you."

An Ge's gaze was intense as she looked sincerely at Zhan Yu. Even if they couldn't get in, with Zhan Yu there, at least one of them could get in smoothly! At least one person's wish could be fulfilled!

"Mother? Wasn't Mother already..."

“Your mother was a fairy from Nangka Island, how could she have been killed like that? She just went back.”

You want to find your parents, and given the current situation, your mother is the only way to fulfill your wish. Would you please see her?

"Will he go too?"

"He will go, but he may not be able to get in. He has neither blood ties nor the strength. So our high-profile trip this time is just to increase our chances of getting into Nange Island."

We will ensure that we find the optimal method to enter the area through countless monster kills.

An Ge's words remained obscure and difficult for Zhan Yu to understand, filled with strange and unusual terms. Yet, she understood somewhat that they were paving the way with their experience. But was it really worth it for someone like that?

Zhan Yu's gaze was filled with sorrow. She wondered why her master was so obsessed with the wife he had killed with his own hands. Now that he had done it, why did he regret it and go looking for her again?

Zhan Yu shook her head, deciding to stop thinking about them and this complicated matter. She needed to go see her mother and find out the whole story.

Seeing Zhan Yu agree, An Ge was overjoyed; this greatly increased their chances of entering Nan Ge Island. Regardless of the outcome, An Ge had all the players she needed, so it was time to begin!

Ji Xia's preparations were swift, and Ji Xixi was definitely keeping up, even bringing a large quantity of firearms and ammunition from the base to support the operation. However, her vehicle couldn't be deployed; they were running out of fuel and had to remain at the base.

Three days is a tight preparation period, and many materials were sourced locally, with many talented individuals urgently recruited. However, recruitment of more talented individuals will continue throughout the journey, as this is a large-scale team battle.

This is a place many people want to go, but one person's ability is a bit weak, but a group of people are not weak.

Three days later, on the day of departure, Ji Ran stood at the city gate. She looked at the crowd outside the city gate and wanted to go with them. However, Ji Xia still entrusted Ji Ran to Yan Yu for surveillance. This time, another person was added: Steward Wang also joined the surveillance team.

She can't go anywhere.

The group consisted of about forty or fifty people, a third of whom were members of the Wild Ghosts organization, all of whom were capable. However, Li Yuesheng was absent; he was evading his family's surveillance. This trip had initially been planned without any prior notice, but rumors suddenly began to circulate.

They say that Ji Xia is going to recruit an army to attack and occupy the northern border. But they're heading east!
