The elder, upon hearing this, clenched his fists unconsciously, and began to worry as well, musing, "Could it truly be that we will become strangers?"
"It's hard to say." The old man shook his head; he wasn't completely certain either, saying, "Had I known this would be the outcome, I wouldn't have helped her inherit the power. But now I'm deeply involved, and I need her. I can't just do nothing, can I?"
"Indeed." The elder felt the same way, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "From this perspective, it's quite likely they'll go their separate ways."
"It's quite possible." The old man felt that this possibility was significant. She had inherited the power and also the memories of the Phoenix, knowing too many things, which naturally could affect her original heart. But if it really came to that, Ling Tianyu would probably find it unbearable.
It's hard to say.
The old man was now troubled and didn't know what to do.
