Chapter 1062

The young girl Jean Grey had a face full of confusion, never expecting Su Quan to ask her so directly how she planned to thank him.

Her gratitude was certainly genuine, but she hadn't thought about it in practical terms, or rather, she never expected the person being thanked to ask the person expressing gratitude so directly how they planned to thank them.

You aren't playing by the rules!

The young girl Jean Grey smiled awkwardly and asked hesitantly: "You... how do you want me to thank you?"

"You already know my identity, right?" Su Quan asked with a smile, and seeing the young girl Jean Grey nod slightly, he continued: "Follow me from now on."

"Fol, follow you?" The young girl Jean Grey was stunned. Is he trying to recruit me?

Su Quan said with a smile: "Jean, I'm talking about the other Jean. When I met her, she was just like you, troubled by the Phoenix Force, and she was even worse off than you. The long-term influence caused her to develop a dark second personality."

"Later, there was a time when she went berserk and turned into the Dark Phoenix, and then I dispersed her. I shared my Phoenix Force with her, letting her become my Phoenix Apostle, which is why she has the peace she has now."

"Now she can use my Phoenix Force without any worries, protecting and helping more people."

Looking at the young girl Jean Grey's surprised eyes, Su Quan said with a smile: "You can too!"

The young girl Jean Grey said blankly: "I, I can what?"

"Follow me, use my Phoenix Force, become my Phoenix Apostle, and help more people!"

The young girl Jean Grey felt a moment of temptation.

She actually quite wanted to follow Su Quan. On one hand, her doppelgänger was one of Su Quan's people, and with this connection, she naturally felt close; on the other hand, Void Island had a very good reputation, and the island was full of powerful people, so even if she lost control, she could be easily stopped, providing a full sense of security.

Yes, that's it—a sense of security.

What the young girl Jean Grey lacked most was a sense of security!

The Phoenix Force made her afraid to truly relax, because once she lost control, even Professor Charles would be at his wit's end.

However, Su Quan's strength made her feel a sense of peace and stability she had never felt before.

It seemed that as long as she was by Su Quan's side, she could let go of all her psychological burdens without any scruples; that kind of ease and comfort made her feel as if her whole being was about to float away.

But...

The young girl Jean Grey's eyes dimmed, and she said slowly: "When I was little, I was in a car accident. My parents died in the accident, but I was completely unharmed."

"It was the Professor who adopted me and brought me to the school. I can't..."

Su Quan interrupted her and said with a smile: "The debt of upbringing cannot go unrepaid, so you can't just leave the school and Professor Charles like this, right?"

"Right!"

The young girl Jean Grey nodded.

Su Quan said understandingly: "The school is like your home, and Professor Charles is like both a father and a teacher to you, but a fledgling bird must eventually leave the nest. Only by experiencing the wind and rain outside and achieving something can you better take care of the people you want to take care of."

"Following me doesn't mean you have to cut off contact with Professor Charles and the others, and it certainly doesn't mean you can never come back."

Su Quan thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Do you know why Void Island is called Void Island?"

The young girl Jean Grey shook her head: "I don't know."

"Because I am the Lord of the Void, and the Void is the end of the timeline!"

"In the near future, I will bring this timeline and the timelines of other mutant worlds under the jurisdiction of my forces, so I need a large number of people to maintain the stability of the timeline."

"This is also the reason why Void Island recruits and takes in mutants everywhere!"

Su Quan brushed a strand of hair from the young girl Jean Grey's cheek and took the opportunity to pinch her chin, making her look up and meet his eyes.

"Only by following me can you better take care of the school and better repay Professor Charles's kindness."

"By the way, let me tell you a secret..."

"Wh, what secret?" The young girl Jean Grey asked in a murmur, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Su Quan leaned in slowly, leaned to her ear, and whispered: "Your father is still alive!"

"What?!"

The young girl Jean Grey was instantly shocked and subconsciously turned her head to look at Su Quan.

As luck would have it, Su Quan happened to turn his head to look at her too, and then...

It was moist!

The two stared at each other with wide eyes, instantly frozen.

A full ten seconds passed before the young girl Jean Grey retreated a few steps as if waking from a dream, and said in a daze, her eyes slightly intoxicated: "You... you said my father is still alive?"

Su Quan's lips curled slightly as he replied: "Yes."

"But... but the Professor told me that my parents both died in the car accident together. This kind of thing couldn't be mistaken, right? The Professor... the Professor wouldn't have any reason to lie to me, right?"

"And..."

"If my father is still alive, why hasn't he come to find me for so many years?"

The young girl Jean Grey found it hard to believe; she couldn't think of a reason why the Professor and her father would hide this from her.

Especially her father!

I am his daughter, after all. So many years have passed; does he not miss me at all?

If he is still alive, how could he never come to see me? Never come to recognize me?

"The truth is sometimes very hurtful, you..."

"Please, tell me!"

"Fine."

Since he had brought up this matter himself, Su Quan didn't intend to hide it from her.

Her father was indeed still alive.

Back then, the young girl Jean Grey's ability awakened, and she ignorantly used her ability to influence the car, causing the car accident.

Her mother died on the spot, but her father survived after emergency treatment.

But the death of his wife and the strangeness of his daughter made him both hate and fear his daughter. When Professor Charles came knocking, he proposed a condition.

Professor Charles could adopt his daughter, provided that he made his daughter believe that he had also died in the car accident; he didn't want to have any more dealings with this monster who had caused his wife's death.

Professor Charles agreed and modified the young girl Jean Grey's memories.

So in the young girl Jean Grey's impression, her parents had both died in the car accident!

After hearing the truth from Su Quan, the young girl Jean Grey felt her head buzz, and it exploded!

Staggering to steady her body, two lines of clear tears slid down the corners of her eyes.

She remembered; she remembered everything.

"He... he really is still alive!" The young girl Jean Grey murmured, her face pale.

Regret? Anger? Confusion?

Various emotions surged into her heart, leaving the young girl Jean Grey's mind blank; she just stood there staggering, letting the tears, which she didn't know why she was shedding, slide down.

Su Quan walked up to her and reached out to pull her in.

The sound of crying followed...
