Bab 1752: Preparation for War

Alex found it difficult to not tear up as well.

They remained that way for nearly 5 minutes before Bai Jingshen turned toward Alex. "Thank you," he said softly. "If not for you, we would not have gotten to talk to her at all."

"That's alright," Alex said. "Anything for Pearl."

Pearl turned around too. "Thank you, brother," he said. Everyone else gave him words of gratitude as well.

Pearl looked at the mist of white energy that floated in the air and dropped one final tear before putting on a brave, smiling face. "I love you too, mother."
