Before long, under Silver Dust's notification, Zi Yan and his mother Zi Yunyun, who had not gone far, returned to this long, narrow nebula valley.
They met up with Li Tianming and the others.
The mother and son had both learned of Li Tianming's plan: to return to Soul-Hunting Star Dock and secure Zi Zhen an identity that would allow her to travel through the Guan Zizai Realm!
It left them worried, yet exhilarated.
The beautiful purple-haired woman, Zi Yunyun, stepped forward, her eyes brimming with tears as she clasped Zi Zhen's hand. "Zi Zhen, we all know that you never stole the Soul-Hunting Lamp. But we had no evidence, and in this town, the town lord and his wife cover the sky with one hand... If we can clear your name, I'm willing to do anything."
Seeing this scene, Li Tianming and Zi Zhen both understood that Zi Yunyun had always regarded Zi Zhen as her daughter.
There was nothing Zi Zhen could do about that.
She merely said calmly, "I don't need your help. I've broken through now. I'm confident enough to defeat the town lord and his wife."
Li Tianming smiled beside her. "We called you back only to tell you that you don't need to run anymore, and you don't need to fear being hunted down. We're going back to expose the town lord and his wife's true faces!"
Zi Yunyun and Zi Yan were both pleasantly surprised by this.
The two looked Zi Zhen up and down, delighted by her breakthrough!
In his excitement, the young Zi Yan immediately said, "Sis, it's wonderful that you broke through!"
Zi Zhen: "..."
Instinctively, she wanted to refute him, but after giving it some thought, she would be using this identity to travel through the Guan Zizai Realm
