"So this is how it ends? The vast Blood Prison Dynasty changed hands just like that, without anyone even realizing."
Within the Luo residence, Luo Ning stood atop a pavilion, gazing into the distance at the figures streaming through the city streets. She let out a soft sigh as well.
After the people of the great clans had been rescued, they had been busy stabilizing the situation. Though the Xiao Family had been replaced by Guan Yue, the foundations of the great clans remained, so they had not been greatly affected.
"The name Bai Yu may soon become renowned throughout Upperstream. Grandfather, haven't we been too comfortable these past years? As an alchemy clan, I don't think the Luo Family should keep wasting away in Midstream either."
Luo Ning narrowed her eyes. Having returned to the Luo Family, she had been appointed its head and could be said to possess everything. Yet as the situation shifted, the unease in her heart made it difficult for her to remain in this position.
After all, she was a high-grade seventh-rank alchemist. Her talent had not yet run dry, and now, she had someone she could pursue.
At those words, the old man behind her fell silent for a moment before speaking.
"You met her?"
Luo Ning nodded lightly. "We talked for a long time. I thought she had died long ago, but it turned out to be like this."
Luo Ning raised her head, looking at the bustling scene of carriages and people before her, her lips pressing together gently.
"I want to go to Upperstream to gain experience. Grandfather, I'll need you to hold on as family head for a while."
"I want to see where my limits truly lie..."
"So many matters crammed together for handling—it really is unbearable."
