The Princess to Eight Uncles Chapter 760

Blake brought Lilly back to the Crawford Family.

This was the first time Bettany saw Lilly coming back crying. The little girl’s face was red from crying, her eyes were swollen, she could not stop crying and was still hiccupping between sobs.

“What’s wrong?!” Bettany hurried over and reached out to take Lilly in her arms.

Everyone in the Crawford family gathered around. It was the weekend, Lilly’s siblings had come back after finishing their classes. Hannah, upon hearing Lilly crying, abandoned her homework and ran over.

Everyone looked at Lilly with concern.

Josh frowned and handed her a tissue to wipe her tears. He was inwardly annoyed and asked in a deep voice, “Who let you down?”

Josh checked Lilly’s hands and feet, examining her from top to bottom. “Did you get hurt? Was it that Master Dale? Did he hurt you?”

Hannah clenched her fists angrily. “I’ll go beat him up!”

Gilbert, who had just returned from the night shift, was awakened by Lilly’s crying in his sleep. He hurried over in his pajamas and asked, “Where did you get hurt?”

He carefully examined her but didn’t see any injuries.

Hugh was heart ached, and he asked with a stern expression, “Blake, what’s going on?”

Lilly was crying so sadly that she couldn’t speak. Bettany shed tears along with her and comforted her, “Good girl, don’t cry! Here is some candy!”

Edward was already thinking about how to beat someone up. Who was this Master Dale? If he could not beat him up alone, he would certainly bring a group of people with him.

The more anxious Liam was, the clumsier his words became. He just could not come up with a comforting sentence.

Seeing all the family members around her, Lilly thought of what her master had said to her. There is only one choice to be made between him and his family members

It was as if Lilly were a sailboat adrift in the vast ocean, not knowing which way to go home or which direction to follow.

She felt completely lost…

Upon hearing Lilly cry, Anthony abandoned the meeting halfway and hurried out, accompanied by Lisa.

As he walked into the house, Bettany was sitting on the couch, holding Lilly in her arms. Everyone was in a state of shock.

A shiver ran down Anthony’s spine, “What happened?”

Blake remained silent and said softly, “Pablo is gone.”

Anthony was shocked. “How did that happen?”

Blake shook his head.

Anthony glanced discreetly at Bettany and Hugh and said, “Mom, why don’t you make something for Lilly to eat.”
Blake brought Lilly back to the Crawford Family.

This was the first time Bettany saw Lilly coming back crying. The little girl’s face was red from crying, her eyes were swollen, she could not stop crying and was still hiccupping between sobs.

As he said that, he took Lilly from Bettany’s arms.

As he said that, he took Lilly from Bettany’s arms.

Bettany stood up and repeated, “Yeah, Lilly must be hungry right now. Grandma will make something to eat…”

Bettany was feeling unsettled and walking unsteadily as Anthony glanced at her..

Hugh immediately stood up and went to help out Bettany.

In the kitchen, Bettany slowly sat down on a chair, feeling very worried, “There must have been a lot of danger involved in the process, otherwise Anthony wouldn’t have sent us away.”

Hugh Replied, “Don’t worry, they will handle their own matters…”

…

In the living room, Anthony held Lilly gently and asked, “Can you tell me what happened?”

A blank expression appeared on Lilly’s face, and tears fell as soon as the matter was brought up.

Her tightly gripped bottle caught Anthony’s attention. It looked like a bulb, emitting a faint light.

“What is this…?”

Lilly choked up, “Here’s Master’s soul, and I put it inside here.”

Anthony asked, “How did your master’s soul disperse?”

As she described what happened, Lilly cried.

“Leslie had a powerful golden lock on him, and Master asked Jessie to take that lock down.”

“Leslie then refused, and he suddenly put a talisman on the lock causing the golden lock to explode.”

“Immediately after the explosion, many golden lights appeared, and Master tightened his grip on me to protect me…”

Lilly cried even harder, “Then, it was like the entire air exploded, and Master was hit by the golden lights… and he was gone.”

Lilly buried her face in Anthony’s embrace, “If Lilly didn’t conquer the Hell Ruler Palace, Master wouldn’t have ended up like this.”

Blake had heard from Pablo that Lilly had various magical artifacts, but she could only hold one of them at once.

Her strength was not enough to handle two magical artifacts simultaneously. Based on her experience in battles, she would always use one artifact first, like smashing with a purple sledgehammer or throwing out a golden dome. She had never simultaneously used both.

So, it was not her fault. If it was about mistakes… Her only mistake was being too young and lack of battlefield experiences.

But what could be done? Would the enemy not attack her because she was too weak?

Could she keep avoiding them just because she was weak?

A person cannot easily cultivate strength; it is something that they gain from battle to battle, growing stronger as they go.

“Lilly, don’t cry.” Blake’s face turned serious. “Think carefully again, did your master really die because of the golden light from the exploding lock?”

Lilly looked up, confused.

Blake rephrased the question, “On that night at the chapel, when the censer exploded, was your master capable of stopping the golden energy?”

Lilly’s throat felt choked, “But Master was already injured…”

Blake shook his head, “I believe he wasn’t that weak. Even if he couldn’t stop it due to his injuries, couldn’t he have avoided it completely?”

This time, Lilly fell completely silent, gradually calming down.

Blake patted her head. “You’re still young, and daddy knows he can’t demand too much from you. But crying is the most useless thing you can do in this kind of situation.”

To find success, you have to learn how to stay calm in the face of sorrow, to analyze where wrongs took place, to scrutinize the surface of every situation and see if it truly reflects the real you. Learning from failures is the key.”

Guided by her daddy’s words, Lilly gradually calmed down.

Blake asked again, “Is Leslie very powerful?”

Lilly nodded, “He’s more powerful than anyone we’ve encountered before…”

After thinking for a moment, she added, “But not as powerful as the King Libra.”

Blake continued, “Are his talismans powerful?”

Lilly shook her head, “They’re not that powerful as I can easily block them down.”

Blake said, “That’s the problem. If you can block his talismans down, do you think his talismans can cause the golden lock to explode?”

Bake understood what Lilly was trying to convey:

Leslie attached a talisman to the golden lock intending to explode it. But if Lilly can block his talismans, then no one else would be able to do it either.

Then Pablo suddenly grew stronger and protected Lilly with all his strength.

It is obvious that there is something going on here.

Lilly realized this and said in astonishment, “Daddy! He… he can’t! His talismans are not that powerful.”

“Master once said that the golden lock is very powerful, and his talismans cannot make it explode…”

Because Leslie did it this way, she subconsciously believed that he could explode it. Otherwise, why would he do it?

The truth was that he could not do it, that is why he was struggling.

Blake replied, “You’re right.”

Anthony narrowed his eyes slightly, “So, there is a third person at the scene.”
