Revisiting Old Places, So Much Heartache

Returning to this familiar place brings so much sorrow.

She kept the family's grief buried deep in her heart, afraid to touch it.

With tears welling in her eyes, the young girl Jean Grey stroked the wall, murmuring that nothing had changed. The middle-aged man looked at her hesitantly, but ultimately turned away, suppressing the emotions that were welling up within him.

"Would you like something to eat or drink?" he asked politely.

The young girl, Jean Grey, chuckled and said, "No need, I... you don't need to entertain me."

"It's so good to see you."

The heartfelt words elicited an awkward, forced smile from the middle-aged man, "I'll get you a glass of water."

The young girl, Jean Grey, didn't know how she should feel at this moment. With tears in her eyes, she staggered towards another wall.

Several photos are hanging on the wall.

There are photos of her father, photos of her mother, photos of both parents, but none of them are of her.

Not a single one!

She felt as if her heart had been struck by a heavy hammer; it hurt so much...

"The zither".

The middle-aged man returned carrying water.

The young girl, Jean Grey, turned to look at him. "I'm not in any of these photos. You've never looked for me. Why don't you come looking for me?"

"Qin... let's sit down and talk." Faced with the direct questioning, the middle-aged man couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"No, I don't want to sit down. I want to know why, why you didn't come to find me back then."

"Don't try to fool me, I can read minds!"

The young girl, Jean Grey, was agitated; she wanted to know why!

"I can't raise her, I don't even know what she is."

"I know."

"You're going to take her away?"

The middle-aged man didn't speak, but through her Psychic Abilities, the young girl Jean Grey saw what he was thinking.

That was a conversation he had with the professor back then.

Jean Grey looked at him with disappointment and murmured, "You didn't even say goodbye to me back then."

"I didn't have a chance to say goodbye to your mother back then either," the middle-aged man said.

"I was only eight years old then, how could you do this to me!"

The excited young girl, Jean Grey, shattered the cup in the middle-aged man's hand, which seemed to loosen his grip, and he began to question him emotionally.

"You want to read my mind? Then take a good look, and don't forget what you've done!"

The memory of the car accident flashed through the mind of young Jean Grey, and tears streamed down her face. The horrific scene of the accident caused her to scream in anguish.

"No!"

"No!"

"No!"

"I'm sorry, Jean, my world collapsed that day. I'll consider you dead too!"

The middle-aged man looked at the grieving young girl, Jean Grey, spoke his true feelings, and then stabbed her in the back.

For a middle-aged man, his once happy family crumbled overnight; his daughter turned out to be a monster, and his wife was killed by her.

What can he do?

As he said, his world collapsed on that day.

He couldn't forget his wife's death and continue raising his monstrous daughter.

For the young girl Jean Grey, she lost her mother, and her father, though alive, abandoned her.

She was only eight years old at the time, only eight years old!

She had no control over her abilities and didn't want to hurt her parents!

Who is right and who is wrong?

Was the middle-aged man wrong? Was the young Jean Grey wrong?

Perhaps this is the real reality?

Not everything can be clearly divided into right and wrong!

Although Su Quan was outside, he could hear the conversation between the two people inside clearly, and he was fully aware of their thoughts and feelings...

Was the father wrong or the daughter wrong?

He doesn't care at all!

Just like the saying goes, only children distinguish between right and wrong, while adults only consider advantages and disadvantages. Su Quan doesn't care who is right or wrong. He's not here to reason with people; he's here to support the young girl Jean Grey!

"Boom!"

A powerful energy erupted in the apartment, causing the lawn beneath Su Quan's feet to tremble slightly, as if an earthquake was about to occur.

A few seconds later, the ground returned to calm.

Jean Grey, the young girl, walked out of the apartment and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

Su Quan glanced at the apartment, where a middle-aged man was slumped on the floor, looking dazed.

Jean Grey, the girl who lost the Phoenix Force, did not go out of control and turn into the Dark Phoenix, but Su Quan could sense that she had completely severed ties with her father.

From this day forward, the father will die as the daughter, and the daughter will die as the father.

"Good."

Su Quan put his arm around her waist and disappeared in a flash.

The next day.

The sun shone exceptionally brightly; all the beauty in the world seemed to pale in comparison to this single ray of light.

The warm sunlight streamed through the window, making the person who had just woken up feel even more lethargic, rather than refreshed after a good night's sleep.

Stealing half a day of leisure from a busy life, my mood is half Buddha and half immortal.

What are you looking at?

"Look at you."

"What's so interesting about me?"

"You're wrong to say that. As the saying goes, everyone has different preferences, but everyone who dislikes someone is the same."

As the saying goes: If you decide to shine, no mountain can block your way, no sea can hinder you.

"As the saying goes..."

"Besides?"

"Okay, as the saying goes, that's all, but the doctor said I have Low Blood Sugar and need a few sweet words."

"Pfft—" The girl Jean Grey punched Su Quan and said with a strange look, "You are completely different from yesterday. I really didn't expect you to be such Lord of the Void."

Su Quan shrugged. "What are you saying? You're completely different now than you were yesterday, okay?"

Jean Grey was speechless. What she said made perfect sense. And if I were the same as yesterday, would you still be in the mood to talk nonsense?

Happy times always seem to pass by too quickly.

One imparted knowledge and skills, while the other was eager to learn. With their whole hearts devoted to their studies, Su Quan and the young girl Jean Grey were immersed in the ocean of knowledge when they left in the afternoon.

Meanwhile, the young Jean Grey has become a newly appointed Phoenix Apostle.

There are now three Phoenix Apostle.

The White Queen.

Jean Grey.

And, the young girl Jean Grey.

In fact, characters like the Multiple Man sisters, Magik, the Little White Queen, the Black King, Moonstar, Storm, Sonia, and even Magneto are all qualified to become Phoenix Apostle.

This qualification refers to the ability to wield the Phoenix Force, but in terms of merit and contribution, they are still a little short.

Of the three Phoenix Apostle, the White Queen goes without saying; with her status and abilities, she is absolutely qualified, even impeccable.

Jean Grey and the young Jean Grey are slightly inferior and theoretically not qualified, but they originally possessed the Phoenix Force, and now it has just been replaced, so no one can say anything about it.

As the two walked down the street, the girl, Jean Grey, linked arms with Su Quan and asked him, "When are we going back to the academy?"

Su Quan chuckled and said, "No rush to go back, come with me to a concert first."

"Concert?"

The young girl, Jean Grey, asked curiously, "Whose concert is it that could attract the Lord of the Void?"
