"True love is hard to come by in the world of cultivation. How many people are as righteous as Xue Kong's parents? Everyone else prioritizes profit above all else. Even those of the same bloodline cannot escape this iron rule."
Deacon Hong shook his head in disappointment. "Ever since Xue Kong's parents died, the highest-level cultivator in the Xue family has only reached the fifth level of Qi Condensation. They are worried about my existence, so they want to vigorously cultivate their bloodline clan members."
"I've secretly observed that Xue Kong has average talent and no spiritual roots, so there's no possibility for him to practice cultivation."
"Perhaps the head of the Xue family was worried that Xue Kong would use his favor to repay his debt and waste the Xue family's resources, so he unknowingly ignored Xue Kong. When the other elders of the Xue family discovered this, they all made their stances clear and distanced themselves from Xue Kong."
"The younger generation followed suit, and gradually, Xue Kong became obscure."
"All I can do is not to add insult to injury. As for helping him, I absolutely cannot do that. Otherwise, the Xue family will become even more wary of Xue Kong and will secretly harm him. Other than that, I'm left with nothing but guilt."
Honglian opened her mouth in surprise, unable to believe the truth. The Xue family, where she had lived for more than ten years and the largest family in Yinliu City, actually had such an ugly side in secret.
Deacon Hong sighed and said, "There is cause and effect in this world."
"Xue Kong's parents and I conquered Yinliu City, slaughtering the five great families. We committed heinous crimes, and our hands are stained with blood and wronged souls. This is the result, and I must pay for it."
"Maybe this is karma. It's just a pity that Xue Kong has to suffer injustice."
Honglian was so shocked that she couldn't speak. Her pretty face was pale and she couldn't accept the truth she suddenly learned.
"The retribution for Xue Kong's parents fell on Xue Kong, and my retribution..." Deacon Hong stopped and looked sideways at Hong Lian, his eyes filled with pity and reluctance, "Father doesn't want it to fall on you."
"The Fairy Lady's Dharma Assembly is the best opportunity. Your father has examined you and you have excellent spiritual roots of both gold and wood attributes. You can embark on the path of cultivation. If you can be chosen by the Fairy Lady this time and follow her to the Three Immortals Sect, then I will have nothing to worry about."
"After you leave, I will be able to repay your kindness and use my body to protect Xue Kong for the rest of his life."
"Father..." Honglian's eyes were filled with tears. She had never expected that her father, whom she regarded as a coward, had such a righteous heart and his love for her was so strong.
I have thought of everything for myself and paved the way for myself.
The emotion in my heart is beyond words.
"Silly girl, let's go. I have already applied to the head of the Xue family on your behalf and obtained a front seat for you at the Fairy Lady's Dharma Assembly." Deacon Hong rubbed Honglian's head lovingly.
"With your aptitude, you will definitely be noticed by the Immortal Lady and embark on the path of cultivation."
