Shen Jinggu's hands tightened. No matter how calm he appeared on the surface, he couldn't escape Ning Zixiu's discerning eyes.
He did not open his mouth to explain, and Ning Zixiu had no intention of listening. He continued as if he was talking to himself:
"You must be aware of my love for Nannan."
"Nannan is my only daughter. The reason I started to care about her cultivation again is because I am afraid that you will betray her in the future."
"She doesn't have any talent for cultivating immortality. I forced her onto this path."
"Compared to you, her end may only be a hundred years or so."
Although Ning Zixiu was reluctant to admit it, if he was unable to build a foundation and could only refine Qi, he really had no way to help his daughter achieve immortality.
Shen Jinggu wanted to say something, or perhaps even promise something, but just as he was about to open his mouth, he felt the pressure from his future father-in-law. He had to admit that his proud strength was nothing compared to Ning Zixiu, and he couldn't protect Ning Wan with any stability.
Even those discouraging words were just stating a fact.
"She was attracted to you the first time she saw you. Even though she didn't say it, she foolishly tried to pursue you."
"She said she fell in love with you at first sight. Without asking any questions, I directly promoted you to the first disciple of Tianyan Sect and bound you together with a marriage contract."
"The gap between you two is getting bigger and bigger. She doesn't dare to express your love as openly as before, and you follow my example, always wearing a sullen face, as if you really dislike her and are very dissatisfied with this engagement."
Shen Jinggu was a little anxious. This was not what the master said.
On the contrary, he was glad that his skin was of some use at the critical moment, at least it gave him the opportunity to get closer to Ning Wan more conveniently.
As for her sullen face all day long, it was just because he was narrow-minded. She was talking and laughing with others, but was cautious with herself, afraid of offending him.
Originally, he had no intention of competing with Ning Wan. He just disliked those male cultivators. But she didn't turn back either earlier or later, but just when he frowned in displeasure and was thinking of showing off his status as the queen, she turned back!
Not only did she turn around, she didn't even listen to the explanation. Her eyes suddenly misted up, a tear fell, and then she ran away without a trace.
Chen Jinggu still hasn't figured it out. She was only at the second level of Qi Refining at that time, so how could she run so fast? He clearly didn't waste any time, but in the end he still couldn't even see her back.
