I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield Chapter 941 - 617: When the Dust Settles

"Dad, I missed you so much..."

Xue Yong’s voice choked with emotion.

All the pain, grievances, and endless longing endured in the Blood Demon Cult could no longer be restrained at the moment of seeing his father.

This strong child, who persisted through desperation, fought with wolves, and bore humiliation silently, could finally remove all his disguises and burdens before his closest person, pouring out all his vulnerabilities and helplessness.

Xue Wuyang listened to these words of blood, feeling a heart-wrenching pain in his heart.

Usually, as the Three Armies Instructor with Cyan Dragon bloodline in the Royal Army, he is calm and composed, but at this moment, he could no longer hold back. His eyes were red, and tears rolled uncontrollably down his cheeks as he repeated, "Son, I’m sorry, I’m sorry! It’s my fault, for letting you suffer..."

Yang Lingfeng, Cathrina, and Qin Tian, who stood beside Yang Lingfeng, all stood silently by without interruption.

The air was filled with bittersweet and warmth as father and son reunited; this belated reunion was worth safeguarding in silence by everyone.

After a long while, Xue Wuyang finally calmed his emotions, wiped the tear streaks off his face with his sleeve, looked towards Cathrina standing behind Xue Yong, and bowed deeply, his tone filled with gratitude, "Miss Cathrina, thank you for saving my son. I, Xue Wuyang, will never forget this favor; thank you so much!"

"No need to thank me."

Cathrina’s lips curved in a lazy arc; she waved her hand casually, "It was just a deal between Yang Lingfeng and me. Moreover, Yang Lingfeng was also entrusted by someone else; the person who truly led your son away from danger is another."

At this, she looked up and smiled, "I believe he should be standing right next to you now."

As the words fell, Xue Wuyang instinctively turned his head to look at Qin Tian beside him.

He understood Cathrina was correct. The true person who saved his son and gave them the opportunity to reunite was none other than the Military Lord, Qin Tian, standing beside them.

If not for the Military Lord, there wouldn’t have been the meticulous plan to lure the snake out of the hole, nor would they have learned from the masked man the true location where Xiaoyong was imprisoned.

If not for the Military Lord, he would still be trapped in that dark, sunless cage;

Moreover, the Military Lord also promoted him from a Zuiyu to the Three Armies Instructor, granting him high power and status.

The Military Lord has provided a great grace to him and his son.

This gratitude weighs like Mount Tai, and he will find it difficult to repay in his lifetime.

"Military Lord~"

Xue Wuyang deeply bowed, his eyes full of gratitude.

Qin Tian stepped forward, gently patting Xue Wuyang’s shoulder, a gentle smile on his lips, saying nothing more as words were unnecessary.

Then, he looked up, his gaze falling upon the dazzling red-haired woman in the hologram—Cathrina, also known as "Athena," the only woman in the Mythical Society.

Meanwhile, Cathrina took her time to carefully examine the man in front of her.

Mingwang.

Clad in a dark, form-fitting garment, his posture was upright and his face stern, radiating a calm and restrained aura in his brow, his gaze calm and profound as if seeing through one’s heart, perfectly matching the "Mingwang" image she had envisioned countless times in her mind.

"Miss Cathrina, hello."

Qin Tian was the first to speak, his smile growing gentler as he calmly revealed his entire identity to this "old friend" from the Mythical Society.

"I am the Guardian Envoy of Ice Extreme Pass on Mingwang Planet, a Royal Major General, Qin Tian."

A Royal Major General?

Cathrina’s eyes flickered with surprise.

From the many transactions with the Mythical Society, she always thought "Mingwang" might be a warlord wielding significant power or the leader of some secret force, but she never imagined that this enigmatic "Mingwang" was actually a young and pedigreed Royal Major General in the Royal Military.

Mingwang Planet, Mingwang.

Cathrina inwardly chuckled; his code name perfectly matched the place he guarded, without discord.

Ah, Qin Tian... That name sounds familiar.

A sense of familiarity surged in her heart as Cathrina slightly furrowed her brows, recalling for a moment before a memory instantly flashed through her mind.

Not long ago, a shocking event occurred within the Empire’s territory.

During the Cangwu Mountain ceremony hosted by the Dan Tower, the Xieshen Association suddenly attacked the Dan Tower, deliberately sabotaging the ceremony, slaughtering Pill Masters amidst horrific scenes.

Though the Xieshen Association was ultimately suppressed, and the Judgement Court followed this lead to completely eradicate the remnants of the Xieshen Association on the Royal star and its major satellites, the Dan Tower suffered severe losses, with even the Dan Tower’s Great Elder, Yunheli, being abducted to Subspace by the Xieshen Association, leaving his fate uncertain.

While everyone felt helpless, a young general named Qin Tian ventured alone into the perilous Subspace, spending months eventually successfully rescuing the Great Elder Yunheli along with numerous abducted Pill Masters, returning them safely to the Royal star.

This incident had a massive impact within the Empire, even she, stationed on Wind Whisper Star, had heard about it.

Based on the Space Equipment continuously provided by "Mingwang" in the Mythical Society, she could almost confirm that the Qin Tian before her was indeed the same young general who ventured alone into Subspace to rescue the Great Elder Yunheli.

Mingwang, indeed, is not simple.

Cathrina inwardly marveled.

The Qin Tian before her, despite appearing young, already held the position of a Royal Major General within the Empire, evidencing his significant backing within the Military Department, and undoubtedly a formidable personal strength.
