Not only did he protect her when they were facing the bad guys earlier, but now he even offered to carry her up the mountain trail. This was certainly not in line with Daddy's cold personality.

Baby Zetty thought for a long time and seemed to have an epiphany.

Perhaps Daddy had begun to doubt her identity?

Baby Zetty started to have an unbearable feeling in her heart. Even though Daddy was suspicious of her identity, he chose to keep quiet about it and not acknowledge her. Daddy must be trying to protect her self-esteem.

Daddy must be utterly upset at the moment.

After all, his most beloved daughter had become so old and inferior.

Baby Zetty could not help but start sobbing on Jay's broad back. Jay could sense the child's overwhelming sadness and his mood became extremely solemn as well.

It seemed like after they found a place to settle down, he would have to get acquainted with the child again to resolve her inner pain.

However, danger was lurking on every corner of this

road. They would constantly run into a group of locals. Since they did not have local accents, the other party was able to guess their identity rather quickly.

Then, it would be another round of fierce battle and another grand escape.

When it rained, it would always pour as well.

Hence, it started raining heavily in the mountains.

They had to move into a cave for the time being, but they were running out of food as well. This meant they had to look for something to eat in an environment filled with poisonous plants. For Jay and the others, this was no different than being in the firing line.

Fortunately for them, Gale seemed to be very suited for life in the mountains. Whether it was splitting logs or hunting, he was the ace of the team.

On this day, Gale brought back a few birds from his hunt. The others were filled with praises for Gale's capabilities.

However, Jay's eyes were profound and unfathomable. The gaze he used to stare at Gale became exceptionally serene.

"Come over here, Gale." Jay waved toward Gale.

Gale wiped off his sweat and walked toward Jay.

"Sir Ares," said Gale. The boy's smile was innocent.

However, behind this innocent smile, Jay noticed a maturity that was not in line with his age.

"What did you use to kill this bird?" Jay asked casually.

Gale said, "A slingshot."

Jay stretched out his hand and asked, "Can you show me the slingshot?"

Gale handed the self-made slingshot on his waist to Jay.

Jay looked at it over and over again. The structure of the slingshot was very sophisticated, and many parts referenced the principle of remote launchers.

He looked at Gale sternly and asked, "Who gave you this slingshot?"

"I made it myself," said Gale as he smiled.

The gaze Jay used to stare at Gale was getting dimmer. He asked, "I heard you said that you haven't been learning for a few years now?"

Gale still smiled while replying, "Yeah."

"So who taught you how to make a slingshot?"

Gale lowered his head and said nothing.

Jay asked, "So no one taught you?"

Gale raised his head suddenly, panic flashing across his eyes.

However, he quickly recovered his calmness.

"My dad had told me that I was gifted when I was

younger," said Gale.

Jay's gaze fell on the delicate slingshot. He let out an unknown sigh, saying, "So, you're an exceptionally gifted kid."

Gale seemed to have relaxed quite a bit.

Jay suddenly looked at Gale and asked very seriously, "What are your plans for the future?"

Gale said, "I'll follow in Granny's footsteps. I'll learn medicine and save people."

Jay's tone was low and mixed with a little bit of anger when he said, "You're not planning on following her forever, are you?"

Gale smiled wisely and said, "Don't worry, Sir Ares."

He raised his head and looked at the sky as if calculating something in his head. Then, he confidently looked at Jay and said, "I'll leave in 14 years."
