"Let alone my power and wealth, even if Young Master Gu wanted my life, I wouldn't say a word against it," the city lord said without hesitation, his face serious.

"Father, I don't want you to do this. I can't be so selfish as to only care about my own happiness and disregard your feelings. Without power and wealth, you will just be an ordinary person. I really can't bear it," said Yu'er, her voice filled with reluctance.

Although she wanted to restore her appearance, she did not want to do so by sacrificing her father.

She couldn't bear to be an unfilial daughter for her own sake; she couldn't bring herself to do it. If she did, she would suffer greatly.

"Yu'er, don't blame yourself. I did all this willingly. If I knew there was a way to cure your disfigurement and didn't do it, then I would have failed as a father. Shouldn't a father protect his daughter and make her happy? Otherwise, even if I continued to be the city lord, I wouldn't be happy. Only when you are happy will I be happy." The city lord said sincerely, from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, a group of people in the audience began to chatter amongst themselves.

“Miss Yu’er, since your father has no complaints, why don’t you just grant him his wish to love his daughter?”

"That's right, such an opportunity is rare. Wouldn't it be a shame to miss it? Opportunities are fleeting and don't wait for anyone. Once you miss it, it's gone!"

"I just don't know how effective this Youth Rejuvenation Pill really is, or if it's as good as the expert said!"

"Who knows? Even the big shots wouldn't dare to guarantee it, so we certainly don't know either. But I believe in the big shots, and there must be a reason why they are big shots. I think the big shots must have the ability to do so."

…………

“Miss Yu’er, everything has its gains and losses. Since your father has no objections, you should put your heart into it and be more resolute.” Gu Changqing said calmly, revealing no emotion in his heart.

"Yu'er, even if you give up this opportunity, I won't look down on you. I will still treat you well." At this moment, the man in purple comforted her.

He understood Yu'er's inner conflict and her difficulty in making a decision. She didn't want her father to make a sacrifice, but she also wanted to seize this opportunity.

But where in the world are there so many perfect things that can be done at the same time?

“Young Master Gu, you don’t need to ask Yu’er’s opinion anymore. I am her father, and I can make the decision for her. I am willing to give up my power and wealth as the city lord, only asking that my daughter regain her appearance.” The city lord said with a resolute expression.

"Yu'er, if you truly consider me your father, then listen to me and don't disobey me anymore. If you disobey me again, that would be unfilial." Before anyone else could speak, the city lord spoke to his daughter with a serious expression.

"Father, please don't be like this. I promise you." Yu'er said with a helpless and somewhat sad expression.

She knew perfectly well that her father had good intentions. He only said those things to make himself feel better and more at ease. She knew that everything her father did was for her sake.

"Miss Yu'er, have you thought this through? You won't regret it?" Gu Changqing said expressionlessly.

"Yu'er has thought it all through. Whether it works or not, Yu'er will accept it. If it works, it's because Yue'er took pity on Yu'er that day and couldn't bear to let Yu'er suffer the pain of losing her beauty. If it doesn't work, it's just that Yu'er is unlucky." Yu'er said with utmost sincerity.

Regardless, she was willing to give it a shot and give it a try.

She then carefully took the Rejuvenation Pill from Gu Changqing's hand.

She examined the Rejuvenation Pill carefully, as if she had made up her mind, and without saying a word, she swallowed it.

The moment she took it, she felt something was wrong with her body, especially with the disfigured half of her face.

Suddenly, black smoke emanated from the right side of her face, as if detoxifying. After a moment, the black smoke on the right side of her face disappeared, and the toxins on her face also disappeared.

Under the effect of the Rejuvenation Pill, all the black toxins on her face were expelled from her body, and then the right half of her face returned to its previous color in less than half an hour, leaving only a small scar.

"Yu'er, your face..." The man in purple was so excited that he didn't know what to say and could not speak properly.

The city lord was also very surprised and excited to see this, as his daughter's complexion had recovered to about 80-90%.

Everyone was extremely surprised to see this, not expecting the Rejuvenation Pill to have such an immediate effect, producing such obvious results in less than a short time.

"This pill is truly amazing. It can even save such an ugly face. It's comparable to a divine elixir."

"Who says it isn't true? I thought it wouldn't work, but who knew it would be so effective?"

"There are still a few minor flaws; it's not fully restored yet, but it's already very good!"

…………

Gu Changqing remained calm as he watched the scene unfold before him. Although it had yielded noticeable results, it was far from the outcome he desired.

However, Gu Changqing was not in a hurry, because the effects of the Rejuvenation Pill had not been fully realized. If it were fully realized, the effect would definitely be ten times better than it is now, restoring his appearance to its original state, or even better than before.

Just as everyone was discussing this, someone noticed something and excitedly exclaimed, "Look! It's Yu'er's face! It's Yu'er's face..."

This person was already somewhat incoherent and too excited to speak clearly.

Everyone looked over at the sound and were surprised to find that Yu'er's face had completely returned to normal.

No, it's not that it's back to normal, it's even more beautiful than before, it looks more radiant and charming than before.

Everyone was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

They thought they had just reached Yan Dan's limit, but they never expected that this was the final result. They were all shocked!

Hearing the exclamations of the crowd, Moon Girl was also extremely excited. She quickly touched her face and could clearly feel the difference. It was incredibly smooth to the touch, completely different from before.

But she was also eager to see her own face to see if it really looked like what they said.

She asked anxiously, "Father, has my face really gotten better like they said?"

"Really, of course it's true! Not only has it improved, but it looks even smoother and more delicate than before, with a rosy glow, just like a baby's skin—tender and white," the city lord replied excitedly.
