"Jie'er..."
A sorrowful cry echoed, and then Chen Lin held Chen Jie tightly, with a strong force emanating from his arms, as if he was afraid she would disappear from his sight.
"Dad, don't cry..."
Chen Jie gently patted Chen Lin's back, speaking softly to comfort him, "See, I'm fine now?"
"That's good, that's good."
Chen Lin, not caring about his elder status, wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve, then stepped back half a step, examining Chen Jie, "Let dad see if you're injured."
"I'm alright, just exhausted a lot of spiritual energy, I'll be fine after a few days' rest."
Chen Jie smiled reassuringly and then pointed to Lin Chen beside her, sighing lightly, "However, Lin Chen is severely injured this time; it might take quite a while for him to recover."
It was only then that Chen Lin realized Lin Chen's condition. Seeing the injuries Lin Chen had sustained, his gaze sharpened, and he understood the intensity of the battle Lin Chen had gone through.
