"That's right."
Su Qingli looked excited. "Though it was only for a brief moment, I can't be mistaken. That was Father's aura!"
After taking a deep breath, she looked at him resolutely. "Jingming, I want to go in and take a look."
Four years!
A full four years!
She had finally sensed news of her father again!
Even if it was the dangerous Space Turbulence Layer, she had to investigate.
As for Xu Jingming, there was no need for him to risk his life alongside her.
But just as she was about to tell Xu Jingming to leave first, he spoke up.
"All right. I'll go with you, Director Su."
Su Qingli froze for a moment and instinctively wanted to refuse, but then she met Xu Jingming's gaze.
His eyes were as clear as a deep pool, devoid of the slightest distracting thought, as if nothing in the world could shake him.
Su Qingli's heart warmed, and she said softly, "Jingming, taking you as my student was the best decision I've ever made."
She was telling the truth.
If not for Xu Jingming, she could never have broken through her bottleneck, nor would she have found traces of her father.
"It was you who made me what I am, Director Su." Xu Jingming smiled modestly.
With the system, his strength could continue growing rapidly.
But without Su Qingli, merely searching for those advanced Lightning Type Combat Skills would have taken him a great deal of time.
"Really? Why do I feel more like you were the one who made me what I am?"
Su Qingli blinked. Usually cold and aloof, she now carried a hint of playfulness.
"We made each other." Xu Jingming grinned.
"Ah! What a magnificent bond between teacher and student!
Don't worry, I've already recorded this moment.
