Towards the end of the Immortal Red Kite's conquest, such a Q&A would appear.
There were three instances in total.
Lucas's answers absolutely had to satisfy Hua.
Otherwise, the Immortal Red Kite would suddenly kill him. He had stumbled several times on this matter in the past.
Lucas took a deep breath and said, "Master, you are the person I revere the most. You are not only exceptionally skilled in martial arts but also possess outstanding virtue and wisdom. Every guidance from you is like a brilliant star, leading me forward…"
When facing Hua's questions, flattering her vigorously was the right approach.
"Your rigorous teaching and selfless sharing have allowed me to walk steadily on the path of martial arts… You are not just an excellent martial arts master, but also the guiding light in my life."
"If it weren't for Master, there would be no me today."
When he said this, Lucas was genuinely touched.
After all, there was no pretense in these words.
If the Immortal Red Kite hadn't imparted the martial arts of Shenzhou, it would have been too difficult for Lucas to survive in the Inner World version of St. Freya Academy.
It would be the kind of situation where even if he got the Eden Star, he would have no chance to use it at all.
It was more than just miserable.
"Are you done?" Hua's expression remained unchanged.
Lucas shook his head and said, "Not yet…"
"Then there's no need to say more."
The Immortal Red Kite closed her eyes in contemplation. The ancient-looking, gray-haired beauty had delicate features. Although she wore no makeup, she was more outstanding than ordinary people after careful grooming.
Her inherent ethereal aura was even more captivating.
After a moment, Hua opened her eyes, her pure blue pupils reflecting the man's face, as if capable of seeing through one's heart.
"How do you view our master-disciple relationship?"
Lucas sat up straight and said, "Master, you are not only my guide but also the companion of my soul."
Upon hearing the last few words, Hua's eyelids twitched slightly.
As if she had seen nothing, Lucas continued.
"Under your guidance, I have not only learned a lot of knowledge but also learned how to love."
As he spoke, Lucas spoke slowly and also brewed emotions in his heart to make himself appear more sincere and genuine.
The Immortal Red Kite's expression finally changed; her delicate brows furrowed deeply.
The first time Lucas encountered this situation, he was definitely nervous, but not anymore.
After a pause, Lucas's gaze lowered slightly.
"Our master-disciple relationship has already transcended its traditional meaning…"
"Traditional meaning…" Hua muttered, her furrowed brows relaxed, and her eyes instantly showed confusion, her expression somewhat dazed.
Lucas struck while the iron was hot, saying, "Master, to your disciple, you are like my second parents. My love is unwavering."
"Unwavering?" Hua repeated again.
Their eyes met.
Lucas didn't speak now; he just quietly looked at Hua, feigning nervousness.
The Vermilion Bird Immortal gently waved her sleeve.
"What do you think... is love?"
Hua asked the last question.
It's worth mentioning that...
Each reincarnation, Lucas's answer was different, and the questions asked by the Vermilion Bird Immortal would also change accordingly.
After several experiments,
Lucas finally found this version of the correct answers for passing.
Looking directly into Hua's eyes,
Lucas said, "Love is a complex emotion, encompassing familial love, friendship, romantic love... It is one of the most important human emotions, capable of bringing happiness and satisfaction, but also pain and loss."
The Vermilion Bird Immortal sat cross-legged, her chest gently rising and falling with her breath.
Lucas continued to elaborate on his views.
The last question was different from the previous ones.
It required a lengthy discourse before
Hua would react.
Lucas was like reciting an essay with great emotion.
Of course...
This was Lucas's self-perception; the Vermilion Bird Immortal was different, she listened quite intently.
She even frowned occasionally, showing a thoughtful expression.
At the same time,
Outside the Martial Arts Arena, Judah turned her head to look at the darkness behind her and said, "Sirin? What are you doing here... You should still have other things to be busy with right now."
"My business is concluded."
The girl who emerged from the darkness wiped the blood from her hands with a white handkerchief.
Judah sniffed her small nose, catching the scent.
Sirin's expression was very cold, completely different from her timid appearance in the trash can.
"Judah, how are things on your end? Is the Captain still unwilling to give up?"
The white-haired, blue-eyed Armed Doll spread her small hands and said, "Yes, he's still unwilling to give up. I really don't know what goes on in human minds. Is exploring the truth that important?"
"Even though he's already met A.I., he still won't believe us. Thankfully, A.I. was quick-witted and had already imprisoned the Herrscher of Sentience, otherwise... I can't imagine what would have become of us."
Judah complained like a resentful woman.
Sirin smiled.
"The Captain has always been like this, hasn't he?"
"My master has also told me this, sigh... Unlike you all, who can blame an Armed Doll for just being a Valkyrie's pet? I don't have any human-related memories at all." Judah said with a bitter face, "He even flirted with me yesterday..."
"It scared me to death; I thought he was going to go wild... Thankfully, it was just a false alarm."
"If a human were to force me... I wouldn't know what to do."
Judah covered her small face.
Speaking of which,
Judah suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh, right... You met a human yesterday? You should remember, A.I. forbade you from meeting humans, after all, you're not me..."
Thinking of yesterday's events, Sirin's expression stiffened slightly.
After a few light coughs,
Sirin shook her head.
"Don't worry, I know my limits. And... are you really that obedient to A.I.? You're even trying to control me now."
"Who... who's obedient to A.I.?" Judah stamped her feet repeatedly, "I'm just worried you'll mess things up. If a human discovers something amiss, it might cause big trouble."
"You don't need to worry about that."
Sirin waved her hand casually.
Although Judah was a bit angry, she couldn't do anything.
After all...
Sirin is an S-Rank Valkyries.
And Judah is just an Armed Doll with A-class strength.
As long as Sirin wished,
She could easily eliminate Judah.
The air instantly fell silent.
A moment later,
Judah looked left and right and said, "Where's Bella? I want to see her."
"She's busy. She's helping me dispose of a body."
When Sirin said this,
Her tone was inexplicably cold.
A trace of unbearable emotion flashed across Judah's face, and she said, "You really killed her?"
"To leave, this was a necessary sacrifice." Sirin pursed her lips, "She wasn't the first, nor will she be the last."
