Chapter 73: Ambush

Arnoux turned to Alix and gave him a nod of approval. "Indeed, Alix's teaching skills have improved a lot. He has become a great mentor to all of us."

Alix was getting shy at the compliment. "Father, I'm just doing my best to help everyone improve their cultivation."

Arnoux put his hand on Alix's shoulder. "And you're doing a great job, son. I'm proud of you."

Alix felt a surge of warmth in his chest as his father praised him. He smiled gratefully at his father, feeling grateful for the bond they shared.

"Nox is right, age doesn't matter when it comes to respecting someone. You've proven yourself to be a worthy member of our group, and I'm honored to have you as my son," Arnoux continued, looking at Alix with pride.

"Thank you, father. I'm grateful to have you as my mentor and guide," Alix replied, feeling a sense of contentment.
