Dong Guangming could easily tell that she was afraid he would be a burden to her.
His eyes were red and swollen, and he felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on his chest, making it hard to breathe.
"Baozhu, Baozhu... Daddy will never give up on you..."
Dong Baozhu smiled faintly, but her eyes were full of bitterness. "Dad, if you don't leave now, none of us will be able to leave. You know my body can't run away at all. Dad, you must live well. I haven't avenged myself yet. You still have to go and avenge me!"
You know I'm such a petty person; if my enemy doesn't die, I wouldn't want to be reincarnated even in the underworld.
Dong Guangming knew that she wanted him to live, but he really couldn't bear to part with her... This was his child, his only blood relative!
Seeing that he remained unmoved, Dong Baozhu's eyes hardened, and she pulled out a dagger, holding it to her own neck. "Go! Go! Avenge me!"
Dong Guangming was terrified, fearing she would really harm him. He retreated repeatedly, waving his hands, "Okay, don't be impulsive, Dad will leave now, I'll leave! Put down the dagger!"
"If you leave, I'll let you go!"
Dong Guangming was in great pain, but he knew he had no choice!
He knew to grit his teeth, turn his back, and squeeze out a single word through clenched teeth: "Fine!"
After saying that, he walked forward until he could no longer see the people behind him, then he squatted down and broke down in tears. Time was of the essence for him; no matter how heartbroken he was, he had to suppress his grief and continue on his way.
He got up and continued on his way. After emerging, he found his direction and ran wildly.
As for Dong Baozhu, who was abandoned by him, she knew that she could not escape at all, so she simply struggled to get out of the tunnel, knowing where her father would go.
She glanced deeply in that direction, then resolutely chose the opposite path, deliberately leaving hurried traces along the way to lure people away.
Dong Guangming was her father, her only relative in this world, and the person who treated her the best. Since she couldn't live any longer, she simply used herself to hold people back so that her father could escape.

The disheveled old man in the dilapidated courtyard was no longer the same as before, and he didn't care anymore. He knew the outcome since his daughter hadn't followed.
His hair turned white overnight—he never believed this would happen to him, but now it had actually happened.
"Xiao! Che! Bai Yajing! You all deserve to die! You deserve to die!"
His eyes were filled with boundless hatred as he numbly pounded the ground with his fists, oblivious to the pain in his hands.
He is now filled with hatred. All his years of hard work have been destroyed, his loved ones have left one by one, and he couldn't even save his most important daughter. What's the point of him living?
His mind was filled with his daughter's words: "Avenge her!"
Their common enemy was that couple. He vowed to make them taste the pain of losing a loved one!
As far as he knew, Bai Yajing's maternal grandparents and paternal grandparents were all in Kyoto, as were three elders of the Xiao family...
So, his next stop is Kyoto!
As for how to get back, he still needs to think of a way.
