I'm going to kill everyone who calls me Hill.

The old man suddenly smiled like a child. His expression was so relaxed, as if he had unloaded all the burdens. He moved his body, which was gradually becoming transparent, and said easily, "It seems that my time is up."

With one last glance at Zhong Li Yan who was meditating nearby, the old man softly chanted an unknown song and disappeared in the echoing sound.

——————————————————————————————————————

After a long time, Zhongli Yan, who had received the internal force, woke up slowly. She looked around at first, but found that the figure she expected to see had disappeared.

"Father? Father?"

Zhong Li Yan seemed to have noticed something, and she called out softly a few times.

"He's gone..."

Fu Hua spoke slowly.

"Gone? Why did he leave? I still have so much to say to him. Why is this old man such a bastard! He...he...why didn't he let me see him for the last time..."

As Zhong Liyan spoke, her voice gradually became lower and lower, tears welled up in her eyes, but she never shed them. She more or less remembered the past.

"Immortal, did he say anything?"

After a while, Zhong Liyan asked hoarsely.

"He made a deal with me. He gave me the martial arts you taught me, and I accepted you as my apprentice."

"Haha, this old man...really, if you are so worried, why don't you just teach me yourself..."

Zhongli Yan smiled, but it seemed so forced.

Then Zhong Li Yan stood up, knelt down gently in front of Fu Hua and kowtowed.

"Master, please accept my disciple's greetings."

"Well, from today on, you are my disciple of Taixu Mountain."

Fu Hua nodded slightly and said, "I'll let Xi'er take you to your room later."

"Yes, Master."

"Well, did you hear that, Xi'er? Why don't you go and take your junior sister to her room?"

"Ah... Master, you have discovered it."

Hearing Fu Hua's words, Xier pushed the door open and walked in awkwardly.

"Go ahead. I need to meditate for a while."

"Yes, Master."
