Lu Chen looked toward the Azure Emperor again.
With a flip of his hand, he produced that "All Heavens Relationship Token."
The token was ancient and unadorned, radiating a faint, profound aura.
Then, with another thought,
a small token emerged from the Relationship Token.
It was precisely a sub-token of the All Heavens Relationship Token.
Although it could not create relationships,
it could make use of the relationships created by the main token.
"Father, keep this sub-token safe."
Lu Chen handed the token over.
"I've established preliminary shallow relationships—such as 'client' and 'student'—with organizations including the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, Myriad Treasures Tower, and Starry Sky Academy."
"With this token, it'll be somewhat easier than usual to visit these organizations' strongholds and obtain information or resources."
"It might prove useful at a critical moment."
The Azure Emperor accepted the token solemnly.
It felt warm and smooth in his hand, and he could faintly sense some strange force of laws contained within it.
He asked no further questions.
He merely said in a deep voice:
"I will certainly use it properly."
Lu Chen nodded.
Then he looked toward Luo Li.
"Li'er, you're thoughtful and skilled at planning. Help Yao Yao more."
"If anything major happens, discuss it with Yao Yao and Father in time."
Luo Li bit her lip and nodded.
"I understand."
Tears finally slipped down her cheeks despite her efforts.
But she quickly wiped them away and forced herself to appear strong.
"Brother Lu Chen... you must be careful. You must... come back soon."
Her feigned strength softened Lu Chen's heart.
He gently hugged Luo Li.
"Don't worry. I promise you, I'll definitely return safely."
The embrace was brief.
Yet it settled Luo Li's heart considerably.
After releasing Luo Li, Lu Chen looked toward the others.
