Mingyi had finally managed to enjoy some family time, how could he possibly let the two of them leave him behind?
"No, I mean no. You two are not even thirty years old combined. How can I, as your father, be at ease?"
Ming Zhao knew he wouldn't give up easily, so he had no choice but to unleash his trump card.
“My sister said that mixed spiritual roots are not suitable for traveling the world. If you don’t agree to let her take me with her, then just leave us both behind.”
As she spoke, a hint of sorrow appeared in her eyes as she looked at Ming Yi.
"Do you really want the sisterly bond I've just built with her to just collapse like this?"
Mingyi…
Of course he didn't want that; he just wanted to live with his two daughters like this forever.
But now his eldest daughter hasn't acknowledged him, and his youngest daughter is so disregarding their father-daughter relationship, insisting on abandoning him.
Ming Yi grew increasingly distressed, and his once eloquent tongue, capable of engaging in heated debates with a group of scholars, became silent and withdrawn.
Ming Zhao thought he had said something offensive, and quickly tried to comfort him.
“Father, you are the best father in the world, but have you ever thought about your identity besides being my father?”
Ming Yi was completely bewildered by her words: "Another identity? What identity?"
Ming Zhao felt his head buzzing: "Heavenly Dao, you are the Heavenly Dao of this world!"
Ming Yi, however, didn't seem to care: "That's right, so what?"
Ming Zhao…
"Since you are the Way of Heaven, you should fulfill the duties of the Way of Heaven. You have been neglecting your duties for a long time, and it is time for you to go back."
Ming Yi couldn't believe it. The daughter he had raised with his own hands was now showing absolutely no mercy, even trying to morally blackmail him.
His heart felt like a glass marble that had been smashed to the ground.
"You heartlessly abandoned your elderly father to satisfy your own selfish desires?"
Upon hearing this, Ming Zhao glanced at him sideways.
"Father? I'm afraid in a few years, people will start to think of you as my elder brother."
If these words had been spoken in the past, Ming Yi would have been overjoyed, but now he felt no happiness whatsoever.
"Fine, fine, you've grown up and I can't control you anymore, but don't interfere with what I do next."
Upon hearing this, Ming Zhao immediately sensed something was wrong.
"What are you going to do? Don't cause any messy natural or man-made disasters just to get back to your sister's side. If she finds out, she'll hate you to the core."
Just as he was about to launch a flood, Ming Yi, disguised as a refugee, approached Qin Luo…
"This won't work, that won't work, all I want is to live with the two of you like this, why is it so difficult?"
Ming Zhao didn't care what he thought; as long as he achieved his goal, that was enough.
"Stop complaining and blame others. Hurry up and pack your things and leave. Remember to say it nicely."
Mingyi…
He felt he couldn't count on this youngest daughter; he had already given her the artifact that could collect goodwill, so why was she still so heartless?
Despite his confusion, he still wanted to fulfill his child's expectations, so he went to find Qin Luo that very night.
Using the excuse that he had important matters to attend to, he entrusted Mingzhao to her and repeatedly told her to take good care of herself.
Always prioritize your own ideas and never listen to Mingzhao's nonsense.
Qin Luo understood that he was worried about her, so she repeatedly assured him that she would think things through carefully before acting.
I will also protect myself and Mingzhao, and never let them fall into danger.
Ming Yi reluctantly left the inn, turning back every few steps. His figure in the darkness exuded an indescribable desolation.
It's like an elderly father, frail and dying, who, after being abandoned by his children, goes out to wander alone.
Qin Luo really felt a little sorry for him.
"Little one, should I bring him some food, or spirit stones or something?"
Wu Hua retorted irritably.
"Why don't you just keep him by your side and take care of him in his old age and see him off when he dies?"
Qin Luo…
"Then forget it. With my lifespan so short, I might still need to trouble him later. What should we do next?"
Wu Hua stroked her chin thoughtfully for a moment before looking at her again.
"First, settle things with Ji Mo Kunyu, then take Ming Zhao away from the Central Plains, preferably to a deserted area."
"A deserted area? Let me see!"
As Qin Luo spoke, he took out a map and began to examine it.
"North of the Central Plains, there is a misty forest, and legend has it that there are man-eating swamps inside. Would that be a good place?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Hua also leaned over to take a closer look.
"This place is indeed vast, but bounty hunters occasionally appear, and we might get caught in the crossfire if a fight breaks out here."
Qin Luo felt uneasy when he heard him say he wanted to fight.
"Perhaps if we talk to her nicely, she might voluntarily terminate the contract."
Wu Hua had considered it, but she always felt that Ming Zhao, as a vengeful spirit, could not possibly be so easily persuaded.
“If she doesn’t want to, she might immediately go berserk, so whether we say it or not, we have to get her away from the crowd.”
Qin Luo understood his considerations and knew he was right, but she still felt guilty for deceiving Ming Zhao like this.
"So where exactly are they taking her?"
Wu Hua raised her hand and pointed to the place she had just mentioned.
"At the moment, this seems to be the most suitable place."
"Didn't they say there were hunters?"
"Okay, you hold her off while I go check ahead. If there's anyone there, throw them out first."
"Alright, that's the only way. Hopefully, Mingzhao will listen to advice."
When Ming Zhao came to find the two, he saw them talking about something, and he could vaguely hear his own name.
"What are you talking about? Are you thinking about what to do before you leave?"
