Chapter 1408


    "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 rtionship 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?"


    "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 gazended


    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 n. 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 preparing to break through to the Prime Master Realm. We both know how terrifying the


    lightning tribtion 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?"
