"Give me something? Why would you be so kind as to give me something? Tell me, what are you planning to do here? If you want to fight, I'm not afraid of you!" Tianming roared.

After observing for a period of time, Leon was relieved to find that neither Da Siming nor Shao Siming made any move to attack.

If the Grand Master of Fate and the Lesser Master of Fate were to really make a move, Tianming and the others would be no match for them. Moreover, Tianming is currently injured, so he cannot act rashly.

"Here, this is what we want to give you." With that, the High Priestess took out half a jade pendant from her bosom.

Upon seeing the jade pendant, Tianming instantly became unstable.

This is very similar to Tianming's half jade pendant; it seems to be the other half.

Tianming looked up at Leon, who nodded, and then Tianming stepped forward to take the jade pendant.

During this time, Leon's sharp eyes were fixed on Da Siming and Shao Siming, as if he would rush up and risk his life to save Tianming if they made the slightest move.

But the Grand Master of Fate and the Lesser Master of Fate did nothing until Tianming returned to Leon's side.

Chapter 1255 Gildas's Defeat

Tianming's hands were still trembling slightly, his heart still filled with distrust and wariness. It wasn't until Leon gently touched his shoulder that Tianming felt the familiar warmth, looked up and saw Leon's encouraging gaze, that he finally let out a long breath and gripped the jade in his hand tightly.

Tianming held the jade pendant in his palm, stared at it for a while, and then, as if suddenly remembering something, took out the jade pendant that he had always kept, which belonged to Jing Ke, from his pocket.

The Grand Master of Fate and the Lesser Master of Fate watched silently from the sidelines, quietly awaiting Tianming's next move. Leon stood firmly beside Tianming, his eyes fixed on the two pieces of jade lying in Tianming's left and right hands respectively. In his eyes, the textures and colors of the two pieces of jade began to merge, gradually taking on a similar quality.

Tianming hesitated for a while before trying to piece the two pieces of jade together. The process was slow, and his movements were as gentle as if he were handling a work of art.

The Grand Master of Fate and the Junior Master of Fate watched coldly from the side, observing Tianming's face and the jade in his hand.

A miracle occurred: the broken outlines of the jade in his hand and Jing Ke's jade fit together perfectly.

A relaxed and affectionate expression appeared on the face of the Great Master of Fate, and the Lesser Master of Fate also breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Tianming stared at the piece of jade he had pieced together for a long time before lowering his head slightly. The outline of his lowered head was soft and gentle, as if he had been relieved.

He had completely dispelled any lingering resentment he felt towards the two of them.

The Grand Master of Fate and the Junior Master of Fate knew that they had now gained Tianming's trust.

"Well, Tianming?" Da Siming looked at him and slowly said, "Now you should be able to put your doubts aside, right?" Shao Siming nodded from the side and looked at him as well.

Tianming put away the jade, looked up at them, and nodded trustingly.

"Now that we have earned your complete trust, you must believe everything I say next." The High Priest stepped forward, walking to Tianming's side. Ignoring Leon's wary protectiveness, he looked down at the calm-faced Tianming and slowly began to speak:

"I don't know if you've heard of this before, but I'm telling you now clearly that the person who killed your father was Gai Nie."

Tianming's pupils contracted rapidly, and his fingers, hidden under his clothes, clenched tightly, revealing white knuckles on his pale skin.

Leon glared at Da Siming with displeasure, then bent down and gently soothed Tianming, whose emotions had suddenly become agitated.

Tianming's mind began to replay the scene he had dreamt a few days ago in that illusory dream. Before the dream, he was in a state of unconsciousness, and after the dream, the invisible voice in his mind kept telling him that the person who was the silly boy's father was Gai Nie.

He seemed to have returned to the moment he woke up from his dream, feeling utterly uncomfortable, helpless and uneasy as if he had escaped from boundless darkness. Leon noticed his abnormality and tried to comfort him further, his face full of worry.

The High Priest watched him with his hands behind his back, unmoved by his reaction. He had long anticipated Tianming's reaction and had nothing to say.

"Don't be too anxious, calm down," Leon whispered to Tianming, who was still panting.

Chapter 1256 The Ferocious Power of Acnologia

The High Priestess, with her hands behind her back, looked down at him and spoke slowly: "I know that jade pendant won't be of much use to you in increasing the trust between us, but what I'm saying is true. You shouldn't keep avoiding this issue, and I have no reason to lie to you. It's only good to recognize the truth sooner rather than later."

Tianming gripped the jade tightly in his hand, his brows furrowed, as if he were in dire straits. He was still unwilling to accept this fact, even though this matter had haunted him many times during his painful moments, making him wish he were dead.

But when this fact hit him hard and without hesitation, he had no choice but to accept it. He did not doubt what the Grand Master said; his trust in him had already been established when the jade pendants were combined. It was just that his reaction was too strong, which aroused the Grand Master's dissatisfaction.

The fact that such a thing happened again before his eyes was still unbearable for him. This blow did not shock him much, after all, there had been similar signs before, and he could withstand them. It was just that the fact that he did not want to face had actually come to him, and he could not bear it. His heart was fragile.

"I have no doubts, I believe what you said." Tianming raised his head and looked at Da Siming calmly. The panic and vulnerability in his eyes were now completely exposed, replaced by a peaceful expression, his eyes like two calm lakes.

“You don’t need to force yourself. If you still have doubts, you can ask me. I can take you to Xianyang Palace to find the truth. Once there, no one can say anything, because the truth will be laid bare in front of you. I’m not telling you because I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle it.”

"There's no need for such concern." Tianming's pursed lips parted slightly, and he casually brushed back Da Siming's words, silencing him completely.

As Tianming was deep in thought, Leon cautiously reached out and gently patted Tianming's thin shoulder, giving him a wink. Tianming knew that this matter couldn't be decided arbitrarily, and the outcome couldn't be decided hastily. His own delusions or chaotic dreams might not be able to verify the words of the Great Master of Fate, so he still couldn't act rashly.

Tianming and Leon knew exactly what to do next.

After leaving the Grand Master of Fate and the Lesser Master of Fate, they went straight to the location of the system.

Tianming cut straight to the point: "System, I have a question. Is Gai Nie really the murderer who killed my father?"

The system remained silent for a long time. Leon thought its internals had broken down, so he shouted a few more times in a booming voice.

He heard the sound of things starting up again. Leon nodded to Tianming, who also nodded, and then repeated the question.

Half a minute later, the system sent a reply, the content of which made the two of them scoff.

"Who told you about this?"

Tianming shook his head helplessly; things had turned out as badly as he had hoped. Despairing, he still insisted on answering, "It was Da Siming who told me this. I don't know how true his words are, so I wanted to ask you."

He knew this couldn't be that simple; he couldn't just ask the system for an answer.

The system's answer was ambiguous, only saying that the person who killed your father could be described differently by different people, and then it disappeared without a trace.

Tianming had long anticipated the outcome. Helplessly, he covered his face and remained silent.

Chapter 1257 Fairy Tail Guild is Unrivaled

"It seems that things can only go this way."

After letting out a soft sigh, Tianming muttered helplessly to himself.

Looking up at the starry sky that had appeared out of nowhere, Tianming realized that he had been there for quite some time. He quickly stood up and prepared to go back.

Before leaving, Tianming looked up at the starry sky and sighed again. If only there were as many solutions to problems as there are stars in the sky.

But thinking about it all was pointless, so Tianming had no choice but to come down from the mountain and return to his lodgings.

"Tianming, what happened? Why do you look like this?"

Back at his lodgings, Tianming immediately saw Yue'er busy at the table. Before he could even greet her, he saw Yue'er looking at him with a worried expression, her voice filled with concern.

At this moment, Yue'er couldn't help but feel a little worried. You see, Tianming was usually an optimistic and cheerful person, and he had never shown such an expression before.

What on earth happened to make Tianming show such an expression?

"It's nothing much, I just want to find out why my father was killed, but the complexity of this matter is far beyond my imagination, so I can't figure out what to do next."

Tianming did not intend to tell Yue'er that he had already met the Grand Marshal. After all, the matter was too complicated, and even Shao Siming and the Grand Marshal found it very difficult to handle.

"Don't worry, good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished. I believe that the person who killed your father will one day get the retribution he deserves. Maybe it won't be long before he appears in front of you on his own."

Upon hearing Tianming's words, Yue'er's expression grew even more serious, clearly showing her concern for him. She walked up to Tianming, smiled slightly, and spoke with a firm tone.

Upon hearing this, Tianming simply nodded without saying anything more. He understood that Yue'er was comforting him, and he hoped that Yue'er's words could come true.

The thought that his father had been killed by someone else filled him with an extreme chill, and he exuded a sharp aura, his whole being resembling a sword drawn from its sheath.

Who on earth is so audacious?

At this moment, Tianming was filled with murderous intent, a murderous intent directed at the person who killed his father. He wished he could tear that person to pieces for actually killing his father.

He now yearns to know the truth about his father's murder. Once he finds out who killed his father, he will kill that person without hesitation!

However, the complexity of this matter far exceeded his expectations. This gave him a huge headache; it felt like a mountain was pressing down on his shoulders, forcing him to deal with it with all his might.

But even with all his strength, he discovered that this mountain was simply beyond his ability to move.

"Go and rest first. Don't think too much about it. That person will definitely get the revenge he deserves!"

Seeing the murderous intent flashing in Tianming's eyes one moment and the weariness that only appeared under excessive pressure the next, Yue'er sighed slightly in her heart.

After saying that, he watched Tianming leave.

Chapter 1258 Gerald Appears, God-Level Magic, God of Magic Bracelet

After nodding, Tianming went upstairs to sleep.

Because of excessive stress, he slept very late and slept very soundly.

That night, he had a dream in which he found out the truth about the matter and saw the culprit who killed his father. But for some reason, just as he was about to kill the person, he found that he was no match for him.

This dream ends here.

Tianming rolled over and sat up, trying to recall his dream, but suddenly realized he couldn't remember the culprit's face. He could only sigh helplessly.

I glanced at the time again; it was 1 a.m.

He turned over, ready to go back to sleep, but found that after having this dream, he was wide awake.

He lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, constantly pondering how to handle the situation.

"Could it be that we really need to find the Grand Marshal and go to Xianyang with him to investigate this matter?"

Staring at the ceiling, Tianming's eyes flickered between light and shadow as he pondered how to handle the situation.

"System, what do you think should be done about this?"
