Kiana, do you understand what filial piety is?

Siegfried's words caused Kiana to fall into a brief silence.

If we put aside the influence of personal feelings and discuss rationally, then there is nothing wrong with what Siegfried said.

But the question is, can people really abandon their emotions and think with pure rationality?

This is almost impossible to do.

But Kiana forced herself to calm down. She looked at Siegfried and asked, "You're right. We don't need to let personal feelings affect other things. So, why did you come to me?"

She raised her head and looked directly into Siegfried's eyes, as if trying to find the answer in his eyes.

Seeing that Kiana had calmed down, Siegfried nodded in satisfaction and said, "Of course I'll help you find your father. Changkong City is so big, how long will it take you to search alone? Maybe by the time you find some clues, Siegfried will have already left Changkong City."

Siegfried knew very well how persistent Kiana was in finding herself, and he also understood the pain and hope behind this persistence.

When Kiana heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She didn't expect that Siegfried would take the initiative to help her.

She was stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, do you think I will believe you? Why do you think you will help me?" Her tone was full of vigilance and curiosity.

Siegfried smiled and said, "We're all from the Kaslana family. Besides, I've heard of the famous Siegfried since I was a kid. I've always wanted to see what kind of person he is."

This is the truth. After all, before she became a woman, everyone always called her Siegfried.

"By the way, if I have time, I'd also like to see how your Kaslana spear fighting and swordsmanship are progressing," Siegfried continued, a hint of anticipation in his tone. "Although your father, Siegfried, is the head of the Kaslana family, I don't think I'm any weaker than him."

As she spoke, she subconsciously flexed her muscles, as if to show her strength to Kiana.

Kiana heard this and thought for a while.

From a rational point of view, Siegfried's conditions are indeed very tempting, but it's still very strange...

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing!

But.....

Kiana looked at Siegfried's hair color and eyes, which were exactly the same as hers, and nodded. "Okay! Since you're willing to help me, I'll give you a chance. But let me be frank. If I find out you have any ill intentions, don't blame me for turning my back on you."

Hearing this, Siegfried smiled brightly, then reached out and rubbed Kiana's head. "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who would stab you in the back. We in the Kaslana family do things openly and honestly. Since I promised to help you, I will definitely do my best."

Feeling the warmth from Siegfried's palm, Kiana suddenly had another illusion for some reason.

The woman in front of her gave her the feeling of her own father.

But how could my father turn into a woman?

Kiana shook her head and shook off Siegfried's hand, and also threw those strange thoughts out of her mind, but she found that she didn't seem to hate the woman in front of her that much.

Perhaps, they can really become friends instead of competitors.

Kiana said: "In that case, let's go."

Siegfried nodded and quickly followed.

And so, Kiana and Siegfried embarked on a journey to find Siegfried. (laughs)

128 The reason why I can't get close

The streets of Changkong City are prosperous and bustling, with neon lights flashing charmingly in the night. People come and go, and the traffic is busy, as if it is always full of vitality.

Kiana and Siegfried walked through this bustling city. Their figures looked a little lonely under the colorful lights, as if they were out of tune with the surrounding prosperity.

Kiana looked around, her brows slightly furrowed, and a hint of confusion revealed in her eyes, "Where should we start looking?" Kiana asked softly, her voice sounded a little weak in the noisy street.

Changkong City is so big that finding someone who is deliberately hiding is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Siegfried crossed his arms and pretended to be thoughtful. "As the head of the Kaslana family, Siegfried's whereabouts may be covert, but it's impossible for him to leave no trace."

Kiana nodded, thinking that what Siegfried said made sense.

As long as people live in this society, it is impossible for them to disappear completely. There must be some clues left in this city waiting for them to discover.

"So, where should we start looking?" Kiana asked again.

Siegfried pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "We can start with places he might go, like bars and restaurants. Even if he's usually very serious, he sometimes goes to these places to relax. Maybe we can get some useful information there."

Kiana nodded. Although she knew that this was like looking for a needle in a haystack, it was the only feasible clue at the moment.

Then Siegfried and Kiana decided to go to the bar where Siegfried might go to find out some information.

They walked through the bustling crowd, passed through the brightly lit streets, and finally came to a bar that looked quite old. As soon as they stepped into the bar, a strong smell of cigarettes and alcohol and noisy music hit them in the face.

The bar was dimly lit and filled with smoke, as if entering another world.

The loud music was deafening, making Kiana's ears buzz. She couldn't help but frown and cover her ears with her hands, trying to reduce some of the noise interference.

Kiana didn't like this environment, but in order to find her father, she had no choice but to go in and try to adapt to this unfamiliar environment.

Siegfried noticed Kiana's discomfort and said with concern: "If you feel uncomfortable, then don't go. I'll take care of it. You wait here for a moment. I'll go inside to find out some news."

Kiana shook her head and said firmly: "No, I want to go with you. This is to find Dad, I can't back down."

Siegfried looked at Kiana's determined eyes and couldn't help but feel guilty. She felt that it was because she had failed to fulfill her responsibility to protect Kiana that she fell into this predicament.

If only I were stronger.

But Siegfried knew that now was not the time to reveal her identity; her current identity was Siegfried.

Then Siegfried held Kiana's hand tightly, and the two of them walked through the crowded crowd and came to the bar counter.

A middle-aged man in bartender's clothes stood in front of the bar, skillfully mixing colorful cocktails.

Siegfried walked up and knocked lightly on the bar, attracting the bartender's attention. "Hello."

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?" The bartender looked up at Siegfried and Kiana, a hint of curiosity in his eyes. He rarely saw such beautiful women coming to the bar at this time, and their temperament seemed out of place in the environment.

Siegfried smiled and said, "We are looking for someone. I wonder if you have seen him. He is a middle-aged man, tall, with white hair and blue eyes like us." As she spoke, she gestured with her hands to illustrate Siegfried's appearance.

The bartender frowned when he heard this, as if he was recalling something. After a while, he shook his head and said, "Sorry, I don't think I have seen this person before."

If he had seen a foreigner with white hair and blue eyes, he would definitely be impressed.

"However, you can go ask those people over there. They often come to the bar and might know some information." After saying that, the bartender pointed to a group of people dressed differently in the corner of the bar. At this moment, those people were sitting together, talking and laughing loudly.

Siegfried nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you." Then, Siegfried took out some tips and put them on the bar, then took Kiana's hand and left the bar.

When Kiana arrived outside the bar, she couldn't help but ask Siegfried, "Aren't you going to ask those people?"

Siegfried shook his head. "No need to ask them. We don't know who they are. It would be bad if we get into trouble. Besides, they won't admit that we should ask Yu Zhe for help."

Siegfried knew exactly who was in the bar; it was a mixed crowd. Even if he could beat them, he didn't want to get himself into trouble.

Then Siegfried looked at Kiana and asked, "But why don't you ask Yu Zhe for help? He has some connections here, maybe he can help you, Kiana, find some clues."

Hearing this, Kiana lowered her head, a complex expression flashing in her eyes. She said softly, "I don't want to trouble Yu Zhe with everything. He has already helped me a lot, and I don't want to cause him any more trouble."

After hearing what Kiana said, Siegfried felt touched. She knew that Kiana was a very independent and strong girl who was unwilling to trouble others easily.

But it is impossible for a person to live alone in this world.

At this moment, Siegfried finally understood why Kiana liked Yu Zhe so much but had not yet taken the last step.

Because Kiana was afraid. Even though she had forgotten the past, she was still instinctively afraid of getting too close to Yu Zhe and causing him harm.

"Qiana, you don't have to be so polite. Yu Zhe is your friend, he will definitely be willing to help you. Besides, we are looking for your father now. This is a big deal, how can it be considered a trouble?"

Kiana raised her head and looked into Siegfried's eyes. "Thank you, Siegfried. I know you're doing this for my own good, but I really don't want to trouble Yuzhe anymore. I want to find my father on my own."

Siegfried looked at Kiana's determined eyes and knew that she had made up her mind.

So Kiana stopped trying to persuade Kiana, but just held her hand tightly and said, "Okay, since you have made up your mind, I will accompany you to look for him. We will definitely find your father."

Kiana nodded, her eyes gleaming with gratitude.

It’s a pity that Kiana doesn’t know that the Siegfried beside her is her father Siegfried whom she has been looking for.

129

"They went out to look for Siegfried. It's an interesting thing, isn't it?" Mavica walked up to Yu Zhe with two glasses of brightly colored juice, and then she gently placed one of the glasses of juice on the table in front of Yu Zhe.

Then Mavka picked up another glass of juice and sat down leisurely opposite Yu Zhe with her legs crossed. Although a little casual, she was full of charm.

Yu Zhe raised his eyes from the dense messages coming from the system, slowly picked up the juice, and took a sip. "Of course I know this."

"What a cold expression." Mavica shook her head slightly.

Yu Zhe raised his eyebrows, frowning slightly. He put down the cup in his hand with a slight clinking sound. "Then what expression should I show? Ecstasy? Laughter? Or something else? I know very well that the people of the Kaslana family cannot be explained by common sense. There are some things I can only watch and cannot interfere."

"I know, I know." Mavica nodded. As one of Yu Zhe's clones, she was very clear about the curse that the Kaslana family carried.

This curse called "Salvation" even affected him at the beginning through the stigmata of the Kaslana family.

Fortunately, he is a mixed-race bastard, so the influence of each bloodline on him is reduced to the minimum.

Otherwise, under the influence of his Uchiha bloodline, he would probably have turned into a gravity man.

Yu Zhe is very clear that deep down in his heart, he still hides a yandere side.

Mavica seemed to see through Yu Zhe's thoughts. "Don't think too much. At least you're sitting here chatting with me. So let's not talk about them for now. Tell me, did you enjoy your rice bowl?"

When Yu Zhe mentioned the rice bowl, his eyes lit up instantly. He nodded without hesitation, a satisfied smile on his face. "Of course it was delicious! Even now, when I think about it, I still can't stop thinking about it. That flavor, wow, it was so delicious!"

"And I also gained a lot of villain acting value." A meal of rice can be said to not only satisfy Yu Zhe's spirit, but also his body.

Even the villains were given a lot of value.

"It's a pity that although the system's bottom line is low, it still has a bottom line. Otherwise, relying on the power of the succubus bloodline, I could have eaten rice bowls many times. Then my villain role value would have skyrocketed."

Mavica lazily leaned on the sofa. "Perhaps in the eyes of the system, bullying the weak can't be considered evil at all. The strong prey on the weak, the strong dominating the weak, is just the law of nature. That thing can't be considered true evil."

Yu Zhe shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Who knows? I'm not the system, so how would I know its judgment criteria? But then again, since the system has such a setting, we can only play by its rules."

Mavica nodded in agreement. Then, she changed the subject and asked, "Okay, enough joking. What are you going to do next? According to the intelligence we've received, the Gray Snakes are finally making a move."

Maveka's eyes grew serious. "He plans to let Raven negotiate. What are you going to do?"

Yu Zhe smiled and said, "Me? I want the Raven to be fully automatic, and then I can just sit down and watch. Is that okay?"

Mavica chuckled and said, "That's not impossible." Mavica knew very well the relationship between Yu Zhe and Raven.

"Okay, enough joking." Yu Zhe coughed lightly, interrupting the previously relaxed atmosphere. His eyes turned serious. "Since Gray Snake doesn't plan to come in person, then there's no need to rush our cooperation with World Snake. After all, fishing can't be rushed. We have to take our time, right?"

You always need to be patient when fishing. Even though the gray snake is a very cautious fish, he still has to think about the urgent issue of how to rescue Kevin.

When Walter stops Kevin from leaving the Quantum Sea, the gray snake will have to take the bait set by Yu Zhe.

Of course, Gray Snake had another choice at that time, which was to cooperate with Otto. After all, in the original plot, Destiny and World Snake had also cooperated.

But, that was not the worst outcome for Yu Zhe.

"I'm very patient, even if I have to wait a little longer. But at least for now, it seems he's still willing to cooperate with us."

Yu Zhe then sighed softly, "However, Gray Snake really doesn't trust me enough right now. It's no wonder. After all, our cooperation is still in its early stages, and he still has doubts about me."

Mavica looked at Yu Zhe, a glint of understanding flashing in her eyes. She said softly, "You want to use Bronya and Chi You to increase his trust in us, right?"

"This kills two birds with one stone, doesn't it?" Yu Zhe said with a smile. "This can not only train Bronya, but also strengthen cooperation with the World Serpent. And this was also part of the original plan, just a slight modification. But no matter what, our ultimate goal remains unchanged."

As a time traveler who knew the plot, Yu Zhe had made various plans from the very beginning.

Cooperation with Anti-Entropy, cooperation with the World Serpent, cooperation with Destiny...

But these plans are not set in stone, because in the world of Honkai Impact 3rd, it is actually much easier to complete Honkai Impact 3rd than Honkai Impact 2nd.

As long as Kiana can successfully embrace the cocoon and become the Herrscher of the End, nothing else matters.

Unlike Honkai Impact 2, you must have enough power to deal with the Ruler of Will.

The essence of Honkai Impact 3rd is like an exam. As long as the right people take the exam, the score is actually not important.

"But we still need to prepare some backup plans." Yu Zhe pondered.

Because there is still a paradise of the past life in the World Serpent, but we must always pay attention to it.

So Yu Zhe planned to let Ying act as a shield for him. Even though those people in the paradise of the past were just memories, they could not really be enemies of Ying.

Of course, this is just a backup plan, and it still requires a lot of preparation, such as creating a useful body for Sakura first.

Relying solely on the Jizo Soul is not enough to fully reproduce Sakura's strength in the previous civilization.
