Divine Seal: From a Heavy Sword to Slicing Through the Holy Demon Continent

At this moment, Long Haochen suddenly asked.

Seeing that Long Haoyu had almost recovered, he revealed what he had been keeping to himself.

Long Haoyu's expression was slightly strange, and he vaguely guessed what Long Haochen wanted to say.

However, Long Xingyu suddenly changed his tune today and wanted to bring Long Haochen to train with him, so he could probably guess his father's purpose.

Judging from the current situation...

Things seem to be getting a little off!

Long Xingyu hoped that he would influence Long Haochen so that he would eventually be determined to follow the path of the Punisher Knight.

But it seems he inadvertently led Long Haochen astray?

However, if Long Haochen insists on making this choice, he will naturally support him, since Long Haochen wanted to take this path in the original work.

The reason he embarked on the path of dual cultivation was because his innate spiritual power was outstanding enough, but in this life, Long Haochen was not the only one who had to fight for it.

As the older brother, he can stand in front of his younger brother.

This is an older brother's responsibility!

"Why do you ask that?" Long Haoyu suppressed his thoughts and asked calmly.

"In my understanding, if I were a guardian knight, I could provide you with sufficient healing and support, brother."

"If you could have received healing and support during the battle with the scorpion-tailed lizard, it would have been much easier for you."

"So, I want to be a guardian knight!"

Long Haochen said honestly.

Seeing that his guess had come true, Long Haoyu said slowly, "Both punishing knights and guardian knights can become great knights. Whatever you choose in the future, your brother will support you."

"But are you really sure you want to embark on the path of a guardian knight?"

Seeing his older brother's strong support, Long Haochen's determination became even more evident: "I've made up my mind. I can't hide under your wing forever. I'm going to fight for what I believe in!"

"I know that I am not as good as you in combat, but I will definitely try my best to keep up with you in terms of protection!"

Long Haoyu stopped talking, and after confirming that Long Haochen had started to go astray, he suddenly looked at the boulder at the cave entrance above him with a strange expression.

boom! boom! boom!

Just then, the boulder was moved.

Light from outside streamed into the cave.

Long Xingyu stood at the entrance of the anthill, and with a gentle force, he pulled Long Haoyu and Long Haochen out.

Seeing that Long Haoyu's breathing was somewhat disordered, yet mostly calm, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Has this child not yet reached his limit?"

After a slight surprise, Long Xingyu noticed that the look in Long Haochen's eyes was much more determined than when he entered the anthill.

A faint smile appeared on her face.

"Haochen, your eyes have suddenly become much more determined. Did you learn something from Haoyu this time?" Long Xingyu asked.

Upon hearing this, Long Haochen said, "Dad, I'm sorry. I only killed one of the ten scorpion-tailed lizards today. My brother killed the rest."

"I wasn't able to help my brother much during this special training, so through this training, I think I've figured out what kind of knightly path I want to take in the future!"

Long Xingyu was secretly delighted, but he pretended to be serious and said, "Didn't Dad say that he would tell me the answer about the knight's choice a year later?"

"Is it because you weren't able to help Haoyu much during this special training that you've become so determined to follow in Haoyu's footsteps as a Retribution Knight?!"

Asking this question, Long Xingyu suddenly realized that his late-night quest to catch ten scorpion-tailed lizards last night wasn't such a pointless fuss after all.

He wasn't confident he could gain Long Haoyu's complete acceptance, but he was absolutely certain he could.

If either of the two brothers could inherit his mantle, he would be able to give himself a satisfactory answer.

"Dad, I don't want to become a Retribution Knight!"

"I couldn't help my brother in today's battle, and I even held him back, so I want to become a guardian knight!"

"That way, I can help my brother more in battle!"

Long Xingyu's expression faltered slightly, and his face suddenly became somewhat unnatural: "Haochen, you said you want to walk the path of the Guardian Knight?"

"Yes, Dad!"

Long Haochen said firmly, "I want to be a guardian knight!!"

Chapter 26 I'm tired, let's destroy it!

His tone was very firm.

As Long Haochen spoke, his small frame involuntarily straightened up.

Having made a real choice, he now feels that his goals are very clear.

He is Long Haochen!

I aspire to become a great guardian knight!

Protect my brother, protect my mother, protect my father, protect everything I want to protect!

"Haochen, it's still early."

"You have another year to take your time to consider your options!"

"Don't rush to tell your dad your choice now. It's not too late to tell him after the special training is over in a year."

Long Xingyu squatted down in front of Long Haochen, grabbed Long Haochen's shoulders with both hands, and said earnestly.

What exactly went wrong?

The plan was for Long Haochen to learn combat instincts from Long Haoyu, thus strengthening his resolve to embark on the path of a punitive knight.

And this has only been a day!

What, how come you suddenly decided to become a guardian knight?

I'm so tired!

"Dad, we don't have to wait a year!"

"My brother was injured in this battle!"

"If I were a guardian knight, I could share enough of the pressure!"

"That way, in future battles, I can heal my brother and provide him with support, fulfilling my proper role!"

Long Haochen was unusually resolute for once.

The various details of the anthill completely solidified his inner thoughts.

Thinking back to how he had been doing nothing on the sidelines while his older brother had fought valiantly, he felt a pang of sadness.

Even if he couldn't truly share the burden of the battle, he still wanted to do what he was supposed to do: provide some healing and support to help the battle end as quickly as possible.

"Don't you want to fight alongside your brother?" Long Xingyu asked again. "You need to know that your brother has chosen the path of a Retribution Knight. With your brother's abilities, he will definitely become an extremely powerful Retribution Knight in the future!"

Long Haochen replied, "I want to, but a guardian knight can fight alongside my brother! Besides, you taught me that today, Dad."

"My brother and I are blood brothers, we must help each other. My brother is a retribution knight, so I, as the younger brother, should be a guardian knight!"

At this point, Long Haochen paused, then his eyes hardened with even more determination: "When the time comes, brother will take the lead in attack, and I will take the lead in defense. We will definitely be able to better support and help each other!"

"Moreover, precisely because my brother is sure to become a very powerful Retribution Knight, in order to catch up with him as quickly as possible, becoming a Guardian Knight will be a better choice for me!"

Long Xingyu: "..." Is this the kind of mutual support I'm talking about?

For a moment, Long Xingyu was suddenly at a loss for words after hearing Long Haochen's words.

It's not exactly standard, but it's also very standard.

They gave me the standard answer, but it wasn't the answer I wanted to hear at all!

"Okay, Dad knows."

"But this is your decision now."

"You can tell Dad your answer again in a year. Dad will give you a chance to change your mind!"

Long Xingyu gently patted Long Haochen's shoulder.

Then, his gaze fell on Long Haoyu, and the complex emotions in his eyes were almost impossible to hide.

"Haochen told me you killed nine out of ten scorpion-tailed lizards, that's excellent!"

"Keep up the good work in future training."

Long Xingyu was feeling a bit down, but he didn't forget what he needed to do and praised Long Haoyu as well.

Long Haoyu hummed in agreement, knowing perfectly well what his father was up to.

A perfunctory compliment, a perfunctory fatherly demeanor.

Training was over. Long Xingyu controlled his emotions and didn't waste any words. He led his two brothers home at breakneck speed.

After dinner, Long Xingyu cleaned up the dishes and stood alone in the courtyard.

The evening breeze was blowing, and the bright moon hung high in the sky.

Alone, alone, he was very lonely.

"Brother, do you think Dad is unhappy with my choice?"

In Long Haoyu's room, Long Haochen and Long Haoyu looked at Long Xingyu in the courtyard through the paper window, their faces filled with trepidation and uncertainty as they asked him questions.

He remembered that when Long Haoyu chose to walk the path of the Punisher Knight, Long Xingyu didn't seem to say much.

But when it came to him, he wanted to choose a guardian knight, but was told that he could choose again after a year.

"No, you call him Dad, how could he be angry with you?" Long Haoyu comforted him.

Long Haochen frowned, looking at her suspiciously. After thinking for a moment, he continued, "It seems like he's unhappy. Dad is a Retribution Knight, so he probably wants to follow the path of Retribution Knights like my brother and me!"

"Don't worry, no, who doesn't want their child to succeed? A guardian knight can also become a great knight and reach the pinnacle."

Long Haoyu said, glancing at Long Xingyu in the courtyard, his voice slightly louder: "They probably know that both of us brothers have clear goals, and they're marveling at how early we made our decisions."

"So, this isn't about being unhappy; it's about appreciating how clear and firm our goals are, so there's no need to feel too much pressure!"
