1408 A Painful Blow (1)
“That day, you brought Yu Huang and the others back to the inner city as guests. Because I spoke rudely to Yu
Huang, I angered Dad. That afternoon, I actually overheard Dad tell Grandfather Tai Lan that if I was disobedient
again, he would break my legs.”
Upon hearing this, Zhan Wuya said, “Mentor was just saying it out of anger.”
“No, it wasn’t out of anger. I know Dad too well. I know very well what he sounds like when he’s angry and what he
sounds like when he’s serious. He really wanted to break my legs. At that time, Grandfather Tai Lan dissuaded him
and even tried to use our father-daughter relationship to move him, but he actually said to Grandfather Tai Lan…”
Zhan Jianxue trembled in fear when she thought of that sentence.
Seeing that Zhan Jianxue was trembling all over, Zhan Wuya pressed down on Zhan Jianxue’s shoulder and asked
her, “What exactly did Mentor say?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Daddy said that even if I die, it doesn’t matter, since he can still have countless children.” Zhan Jianxue’s eyes
were filled with despair and pain. If not for Zhan Wuya lending her strength, she might not even be able to stand
steadily. “Wuya, do you think a father who truly dotes on his daughter can say such vicious words? I’ve been
arrogant and domineering since I was young, so my mother was very dissatisfied with me, but when I did
something wrong, my mother would punish me. She definitely wouldn’t give up on me or abandon me.”
“Wuya, I don’t think Daddy is the kind of person we think he is. Besides…” Zhan Jianxue’s gaze landed on Zhan
Wuya’s wrist. Zhan Wuya was also wearing an AI on his wrist. This AI was Madam Zhan’s meeting gift to Zhan
Wuya.
The moment she saw the AI, Zhan Jianxue thought of her mother.
Noticing Zhan Jianxue’s gaze, Zhan Wuya lowered his eyes and stared at the AI on his wrist. Then, he asked
thoughtfully, “Little Xue, what are you trying to say?”
Zhan Jianxue pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment before saying, “There’s something I’ve been neglecting.
It’s only these days that I realized that something was fishy,” Zhan Jianxue said mysteriously.
Zhan Wuya hurriedly asked, “What do you mean?”
“Wuya, do you still remember how my mother died?”
The death of Mentoress was a pain in the hearts of all the disciples of the War God Clan. How could Zhan Wuya not
remember? “Of course I remember.” When Zhan Wuya saw that Zhan Jianxue’s expression wasn’t right, he thought
of how Mentoress secretly let Prime Emperor Yu Tian go and was somewhat suspicious of Mentoress’s death two
years ago.
Thus, when he heard Zhan Jianxue mention Mentoress’s death, Zhan Wuya couldn’t help but feel suspicious and he
asked hesitantly, “Could there be some inside story about Mentoress’s death?”
Zhan Jianxue frowned as she held Zhan Wuya’s arm and slowly sat down on the grass. After she picked a wildflower
from the grass and Zhan Jianxue stroked the soft petals uneasily, she lowered her eyes and said, “That training was
indeed discretional, but before Dad went into seclusion, he told me something.”
“What is it?” Zhan Wuya hurriedly asked.
Zhan Jianxue raised her head and stared at Zhan Wuya as she said, “You remember, right? At that time, you were
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpreparing to break through to the Prime Master Realm. We both know how terrifying the lightning tribulation of the
Prime Master Realm is. Even my father was worried for you, let alone me.”
“Before you and Dad went into seclusion, Dad once mentioned to me that there was a Golden Dragon Witch living
in the deep pool at the bottom of the golden canyon. The core of the Dragon Witch had a strange divine power that
resisted the lightning attack. He said that when he came out of seclusion, he would get it for you.”
Zhan Jianxue suddenly crushed the delicate flower on her fingertip as she analyzed with a worried expression, “He
cared about you so much and treated you as his favorite disciple, so he should have been more concerned about
your safety than anyone else. However, he chose to enter seclusion at such a critical moment and even revealed
this news to me before he entered seclusion. Don’t you think this is very strange?”
Zhan Jianxue was immersed in her own thoughts. After she started this topic, she couldn’t stop speaking anymore.
She continued, “In the past, I was the same as everyone else. I thought that Daddy loved me the most in the world,
so I never doubted Daddy’s words or actions. It was only when I heard Daddy say those words to Grandfather Tai
Lan a few days ago that I realized that Daddy wasn’t the person I thought he was. The fact that he said that he
could have countless children even without me meant that he didn’t love me.”
“Since he doesn’t love me, why pretend to dote on me?”
