Seeing his children's reactions, Liu Changxu explained:
"Once we go to Perching Phoenix Island, you won't need to worry about Peach Blossom Island's safety. I'll leave Liu Changqing, Liu Changlan, Liu Changjin, and Liu Changyun here to protect you.
"Your mother and aunts will also take turns guarding Peach Blossom Island. As for me, I'll come back often to see you. If anything urgent happens at home, we can use the Long-Distance Teleportation Array to get here as quickly as possible."
Liu Changxu's explanation lifted his children's spirits considerably, but it did not entirely dispel their misgivings.
Liu Changxu understood that completely banishing his children's worries was impossible.
He had only himself to blame for sheltering the lineage and his children too much in the past, leaving them far too dependent on him now.
Still, as his children's cultivation advanced, the lineage would depend on him less and less.
What Liu Changxu was doing today would hasten that process of breaking free from their dependence on him.
Once Liu Changxu reached Spirit Transformation, he would need to remain stationed at the sect for long stretches, since only the sect could provide the fifth-tier spirit vein a Spirit Transformation powerhouse needed for cultivation.
"Father, Mother, Aunts, rest assured. We'll manage Peach Blossom Island well and never give you cause to worry."
His son Liu Fuyue rose to his feet and spoke.
He had no choice. As the clan head of the Liu Lineage, he had to shoulder this burden, or he would surely disappoint his father.
Moreover, Liu Fuyue had just broken through to the Golden Core late stage. His cultivation was the highest among his siblings, which gave him tremendous confidence.
"Father, Mother, Aunts, rest assured. My younger brothers and sisters and I will manage the lineage well."
