Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1801

Severin nodded and reassured Gilda, "The confidence is there, of course. You know that I'm now a fifth-grade medium-rank alchemist, and I might become a fifth-grade high-rank alchemist in three months. Our sect will suffer minimal casualties, while the Horizon Sect will be crushed completely. This will serve as proof of our might, and it will also be a warning to the other sects."

Severin's gaze shifted to Hardin, and there was a tinge of reluctance in his expression. "We won't be able to take Hardin to that higher world for safety reasons, and your father agrees too. It would be better for him to grow up in Skyblue Sect where he'll receive proper protection."

Gilda smiled ruefully. "Yes. Bringing him to an unknown place could put him in danger. Keeping him in Skyblue Sect is the safest option. I know that it's the best choice for him, but I can't help myself from feeling reluctant to part with him." Gilda then paused before continuing, "I knew you would've made this decision even though you hadn't mentioned it earlier. I understand how you feel too, so let's cherish every moment with Hardin."

Severin held Gilda's hand and spoke earnestly, "Yes. We, as practitioners, must let go of many things. This includes fear of death and other worldly emotions. But that is not cause for worry. I'm confident that he will grow up happily and healthily in the sect. When we're stronger, we might be able to find a way back and bring him with us."

"That's right." Gilda nodded. "If he has the talent to become a royal saint, his lifespan will extend for a thousand years, and we'll also have a thousand years ahead of us. There will be plenty of time to reunite."

Severin then suggested, "You will have to work hard and raise your attainment as quickly as possible within the hundred days. If you need to go into seclusion for a while, please feel free to do so. Your father is now a level nine royal saint, and he has reached the maximum level of attainment available to him. He will have plenty of free time, so just leave Hardin with him."
