Chapter 570: Chapter 568 Lu Lubeidi
Yuyue City, located in the central position of the Ye Song Great Plain.
After many years, Ivan appeared once again before this towering city, where the city gate was still bustling with people coming and going.
“I told you, you didn’t need to come to meet me.”
“I came because I wanted to.”
Ivan’s gaze instantly fell on one of the figures, and the two spoke with an exceptionally familiar tone, then exchanged smiles with one another.
The one who had come to greet him was, of course, Jenny.
The last time they both appeared in Yuyue City, they were only Level 3 beings, but now both had become lord-level powerhouses, with strengths many times greater than before.
As long as the Dark Night Mother Goddess did not intervene, it was not a difficult task for the two of them, working together, to easily break into Yuyue City.
“Let’s go.”
As the Holy Daughter of the temple, Jenny’s name had always been prominent, even at times overshadowing the High Priest Kolebas.
In comparison, Ivan as the Saint Heir of the temple, seemed to be virtually unknown.
After entering the city, Ivan did not hurry to the temple but instead carefully appreciated the exotic scenery of Yuyue City, even more meticulously than the last time he was here.
One had to admit, the Dark Night Elves truly had a profound heritage, which was evident from the structure of Yuyue City alone.
“Good day, Holy Daughter.”
“Good day, Sorcerer Marichadon.”
He was not in a hurry to start trouble, but someone else hurriedly came, and it was the High Priest Kolebas.
Facing such power, Kolebas dared not show any disrespect.
“High Priest, it seems you have quite the opinion about me being the temple’s Saint Heir?” Ivan didn’t plan to let her off easily.
“Please forgive me, Saint Heir. It is due to my old age that I nearly forgot that you are still the temple’s Saint Heir. There were shortcomings in my manner, I hope you would not take the offenses of us lesser beings to heart.”
When strength is lacking, one must acknowledge one’s weakness.
Kolebas was clearly someone who could be submissive or assertive as needed, promptly starting to apologize with a very low profile.
Her behavior actually made it difficult for Ivan to target her further, after all, Kolebas was the High Priest of the Dark Night Mother Goddess, and one must give face to the Buddha for the sake of the monk.
“High Priest, I’m sure you can guess the purpose of my visit.”
“Is it about the Holy Daughter’s matters?”
“Stop trying to change the subject. I am here to see my daughter, Lu Lubeidi. Arrange it for me.”
Upon hearing of Ivan’s appearance, Kolebas had felt an ominous premonition, and at this moment, still harbored a sliver of hope, trying to be ambiguous, but Ivan directly uncovered the truth.
Kolebas’s expression changed dramatically; she looked at Jenny incredulously.
Without guessing, it was apparent that Jenny had seen through the true identity of little Lu Lubeidi, which made their years of elaborate hiding in vain.
Just how had Jenny uncovered it so quickly?
Unfortunately, Kolebas would never know the true relationship between Jenny and Ivan; otherwise, she would not have had such doubts.
“High Priest, at this point, there is no need to keep hiding or hesitating. Furthermore, as a high priest of the empire, you surely can’t prevent a father from visiting his own daughter, can you?”
Before Kolebas could speak, Jenny emphasized firmly.
“Fine, I’ll take you to see Lu Lubeidi.” Kolebas realized that the situation was beyond her control, and continued resistance could only make things worse, so she acquiesced for the time being.
Afterward, she led the two towards the Dark Night Imperial Court.
Considering Jenny’s presence at the temple, she had previously sent Lu Lubeidi back to the Imperial Court, never expecting that only a few days later, the person in question would directly come knocking.
The entire way, Kolebas walked very slowly.
Ivan and Jenny did not urge her, letting her delay time.
“Holy Daughter, Holy Son, please wait a moment longer.” Upon reaching a garden inside the Dark Night Imperial Court, Kolebas seemed to still want to stall for some time.
“Isn’t Lu Lu Xiyu busy with her critical time in advancing to a lordship? Are you sure she has the time and energy to come out? Why don’t you talk to other elders of the Dubois family instead? It’s all the same, really.”
Ivan knew exactly what she was thinking.
“Please wait just a moment longer.” Kolebas was reluctant to say more.
“Alright, let’s do as you say.” Ivan didn’t fuss too much.
After about two minutes, the crisp laughter of a child could be heard approaching, and the innocence in the voice had a calming effect on anyone who listened, including Ivan as an Arcane Wizard.
He even began to feel a certain rare nervousness.
Soon, a delicate little girl entered the garden, with eyes lively and alert, she seemed more intelligent than her peers.
“Cough, cough, aren’t you being a bit unfair here? I’m also present, you know.”
The little girl didn’t appear alone, she was brought by her mother, Lu Lu Xiyu. Seeing that someone was only paying attention to her daughter and completely ignored her presence, Lu Lu Xiyu couldn’t help feeling a bit upset.
“Bad person, the bad person who makes Mother angry.”
The little girl didn’t seem shy, echoing her mother’s comments.
Ivan was taken aback, this wasn’t something you’d expect from a little girl just over two years old.
“Mother, don’t be unhappy, Betty has taught him a lesson for you.”
“Giggle, Betty did great.”
Lu Lu Xiyu smiled happily at this.
“Mother, should I scold him a few more times for you?” Seeing her mother so happy, the little girl volunteered.
“A word or two is enough, Betty, you mustn’t scold him anymore.” Lu Lu Xiyu understood the concept of moderation, upsetting the man in front of them could make things difficult.
“Why?” the little girl asked.
“Because he is your father, the person I often mention to you.” Lu Lu Xiyu glanced at Ivan, then continued.
“I see, human sorcerer, Ivan Marichardon, right?” The little girl’s eyes lit up as she spoke Ivan’s brief information accurately.
“That’s right, Betty is so smart.”
Lu Lu Xiyu glanced at that person again, with a hint of triumph in her expression.
Ivan’s lack of reaction was simply because he had only one daughter across his two lifetimes, and to be honest, he was slightly unsure how to handle the situation.
Watching the interaction between Lu Lu Xiyu and her daughter, Ivan keenly sensed her cunning.
She had taught her daughter some information about her father, but she never explained the meaning of the word ‘father’ to her daughter. Given the matriarchal structure of the Kemor Empire, if this continued over time, his role as a father could become superfluous.
Lu Lu Xiyu had never been a simple woman.
But, regardless, Betty was the child she bore.
After seeing through this, Ivan had no intention of exposing her.
With a simple gesture, Lu Lubeidi came to his side and nestled into his arms.
“That’s correct, I am your father, Ivan Marichardon, an Arcane Wizard from the human race.”
“What’s the human race?”
“Like the Dark Night Elf Clan your mother belongs to, the human race is also a general term for a race.”
“And an Arcane Wizard?”
“A wizard is a person who seeks knowledge, chases truth and power. An Arcane Wizard is a wizard who has reached a high level of power.”
Unexpectedly for Lu Lu Xiyu, her daughter didn’t have too strong of a reaction to settling in Ivan’s arms. Perhaps due to the blood connection, she instead clung to him, bombarding him with questions.
Ivan patiently answered each one, presenting a scene of deep father-daughter affection.
This made Lu Lu Xiyu purse her lips and mutter to herself, wondering if this was yet another case of an ungrateful man.
