Edgar Alstreim kept cultivating as if his life depended upon it.

The Grand Alstreim City had already been seethed with rich heaven and earth energy from the plethora of spirit formations, and a Peak-Level Spirit Stone Vein Source present underneath the city.

The energy that was thick in this place quickly helped him gather enough energy for him, and his dantian that had already once progressed to higher stages in Essence Gathering Cultivation made it easier for him to quickly approach the point of a breakthrough in level!

He was no longer a cripple but a completely reborn person!

"What happened, father? You're acting strange..." Tia Alstreim cupped her hands over her chest, "You're making me feel scared..."

Edgar Alstreim came out of his reverie and stopped cultivating before he stood up. He couldn't believe that he just started meditating right in front of his daughter, who didn't even exit the bathroom yet. He quickly laughed in an awkward manner and turned back as he walked towards the sofa.

"Father was just worried if you possessed any injuries from the training session."

"But... But that doesn't require you to be just seated before me..." Tia Alstreim's expression became a bit sad as she felt wronged. It was obvious to her that her father was lying.

"You said that there should be no lies between us..."

Edgar Alstreim stopped before he sighed.

If possible, he wanted to hide this from everyone as it was all like a miracle to him. Even now, he hadn't fully comprehended what had happened.

Nevertheless, he knew that he couldn't flout his own rule that he made when he found about her constitution. That would set a bad example for his treasured daughter. He turned and stared at Tia Alstreim before he smiled as he gestured, "Father can once more try to reach the heights you once wished for me to achieve when you were this little..."

Tia Alstreim looked at her father reach his thigh with his hand. Her eyes glazed over as she recalled the distant past. She remembered that when she was a nothing but a snotty-faced child, her father told her that he would like to reach the Law Rune Stage, the Stage which all the Ancestors reached the peak of their lives.

And her answer at that time was that...

"If father's dantian healed one day, then become a Ninth Stage Powerhouse for me!...?" Tia Alstreim uttered with a bit of doubt as she repeated the same words that she said at that time.

"That's right..." Edgar Alstreim spoke with a blinding smile that he couldn't hide, "My dantian has been healed."

Tia Alstreim's mouth was agape. She closed her mouth with her palm in shock, wondering how but as a teenager, she did not think too much as her emotions overwhelmed her. She jumped like a rabbit and kept hopping in glee. She cheered for her father before she threw herself towards his embrace and tightly held his neck.

Edgar Alstreim embraced back as he became emotional. He thought back to the time before he fainted and remembered Alchemist Davis state that he possesses a method to heal his dantian.

When he actually heard it, he actually felt that it was absurd, absurd to the point that his confidence in Alchemist Davis's skills dropped, making him suspect if he was somehow antagonistic. His thoughts were almost got confirmed when he realized that he had been done in by Alchemist Davis's sneak attack, but now, he wasn't sure anymore.

[I have a method to heal your dantian.]

Those ridiculous words echoed in his mind once more, making him shudder at the unknown.

'Who on Fifty-Two Territories is he?'

He couldn't understand why Alchemist Davis would heal his dantian, not even asking for compensation. For what reason?

'Could it be for 'that' reason?'

Edgar Alstreim vehemently denied!

'No, that is even more absurd!'

Then...

'Could it be that it was for the same reason that Tia Alstreim's Whisper of Fate Phenomenon acted up in the past when her mother was in danger?'

The Whisper of Fate Phenomenon activating before and now... Was it to heal him all along?

Feeling a bit confused, he asked.

"Tia, is the whispers still echoing in your mind after Alchemist Davis left?"

"Mhm?" Tia Alstreim pursed her lips as she blinked, "Oh, that... Yes, it is still ringing in my head, but as father warned me before, I did not tell anyone."

"Good..." Edgar Alstreim nodded his head as he contemplated.

The Whisper of Fate Phenomenon was still active after they left. That meant that it was not related to him but Tia herself. This made him feel relieved but then still left him with unanswered questions.

All of this made him entirely confused and helpless-

'Wait! I'm no longer helpless!'

Edgar Alstreim's eyes came to possess life as it suddenly shone with a fiery light.

The security of his family, the hint he got from his elder brother about Claire, the unexpected help he got from Alchemist Davis... All of that kept echoing in his head!

He knew what he had to do now!

"Ah, it just disappeared." Tia Alstreim suddenly echoed, her expression becoming a little disappointed, "That brother kept throwing glances at me as if I was a delicacy."

"Hahaha!" Edgar Alstreim laughed and pulled on her cheeks, "Of course he would. He knows how special my daughter is, after all!"

"Mhmmm~~~" Tia Alstreim pouted, "The whispers kept urging me. I wanted to talk to that brother, but I was too scared..."

Edgar Alstreim's shoulders drooped as he let out a sigh, "Don't worry. That brother left us with many, many unanswered questions. Soon enough, I feel that he would approach us of his own accord."

Tia Alstreim sweetly nodded her head.

He caressed her head as he consoled and asked, "So, how was the training session with the Conferred Queen?"

Tia Alstreim moved her head back and widened her eyes. There was a fanatic glint in her eyes that left Edgar Alstreim musing in curiosity.

"Father, Conferred Queen's sword skills are perfect! Even Grandfather was full of praise for her!"

Edgar Alstreim laughed in a jubilated tone. In truth, he was still on cloud nine but was also afraid when he thought if this happiness would be destroyed.

He stopped hugging her and walked her towards the sofa.

"Is that right? Tell me more about it..."

"Mhm!" Tia Alstreim nodded her head in glee.

=======

Two people flew in the empty skies. Their clothes fluttered as the breeze hit them while the air also made their hair gracefully dance. These two were none other than Davis and Princess Isabella, who just left Elder Havle Alstreim's mansion a few seconds ago.

"What happened? You seem happy for some reason?" Princess Isabella cast a look towards her left and asked.

"Does it look like that?" Davis noticed the imperceptible smile on his face before he displayed an embarrassed smile, "Well, I'm delighted that my mother will be thrilled on hearing what I had done."

"What do you mean...?" Princess Isabella possessed question marks all over her head.

Davis chuckled. He wasn't acting secretive in front of her, but he couldn't help but recall what happened after he told his mother that he could heal a person's dantian.
