Fane nodded his head and answered.
“All right. I’ll get out of your hair now and prepare to cleanse my body and be a martial artist as soon as possible. Last night, your father even taught me some knowledge about the cultivation arts.”
Joan gave a small smile and left.
Fane followed the youths and quickly went down the mountain.
“Greetings, Supreme Warrior!”
The two middle-aged women were each holding a child. When they saw Fane, they immediately kneeled down. There were a few bodyguards behind them.
“You— Why are the two of you here?”
Fane’s heart thudded when he saw the two.
He had seen these two once—when he had gotten married. It was Fernando’s two wives. One of them was named Sarai, and the other was River.
Fane did not know how to inform them of what happened to Fernando all this while. A month ago, he finally told Lana to inform them of the situation.
All this while, he was filled with regret, and he did not know how he could ever compensate the two.
After all, they were not in need of money now. They had lower cultivation levels, but they were already seventh or eighth-grade martial artists. He wanted to find some time to visit them and take them in. He had told Lana about this too. He did not think that they would actually bring their children over at this moment.
“Supreme Warrior, we know what happened to Fernando. The forces that attacked him were foreign forces, so he still contributed to the country and brought glory to our land. We managed to find our way here because we asked the Goddess of War, Lana, to give us directions. We wanted to come and see Fernando, and we’ve brought our children over!”
“Of course. Just treat this place as your own, and tell me if you need anything. I’ll also get Lana to pass some martial resources to you to help you cultivate yourselves! This way, by the time Fernando wakes up, your cultivation levels will be increased. Won’t it be great if you can give him a surprise?”
Fane smiled and spoke to the two, “Oh, right. And don’t call me ‘Supreme Warrior’ anymore. Everyone calls me Young Master Fane here. You should call me Fane or Young Master Fane. Either one is fine.”
“Thank you, Young Master Fane!”
River smiled, then she added, “But the Gods of War, Lana, and Ethan, told us about our husband’s situation. And we’ve been regularly keeping in touch. He’s in terrible condition now. We’re afraid…afraid that he won’t be able to come back!”
“We have hope so long as he’s not dead!”
Fane clenched his fists. “Of course, I only have a year and seven months left at most. The Cryo Pearl will probably only last that long before melting. Now though, I know a few treasures that can save him, at least. I’ll definitely think of something to get them, even if I have to tear the entire country apart!”
