Upon hearing Qiao Chuxu's words, Qiao Suinian, who had been silent until now, seemed to come alive and slowly raised her head.
"Dad, what happened?" Qiao Suinian's tone was very calm, as if he had already guessed what was going to happen today.
"The Abyss Demons... have surrounded Kyoto with countless alien races, and war will break out at the slightest provocation! At that time, countless people will die and be devastated throughout Kyoto! Countless people will be displaced."
"The Fifth Elder of the Abyss Demon Clan said that their only goal is to find the Holy Maiden and the other two elders, and that the three of them disappeared because they were looking for you, so..."
Before Qiao Chuxu could finish speaking, Qiao Suinian interrupted him.
"So you're planning to hand me over to the Abyss Demons to quell this turmoil, since I'm just a useless person and of no use to the Qiao family anyway, is that right?"
Qiao Suinian looked at Qiao Chuxu calmly, her unwavering gaze making Qiao Chuxu feel a sudden unease for no reason.
“Sui Nian, this is no longer something that Dad can decide alone. It concerns the safety of everyone in Kyoto. If the Abyss Demons launch an attack, many people will die!”
Qiao Chuxu tried to persuade Qiao Suinian by appealing to her emotions and reasoning with her.
But Qiao Suinian had long since stopped listening to what he was saying. He slowly raised his head and revealed a bitter smile.
The last glimmer of hope was ultimately extinguished.
No one could understand how much Qiao Suinian cherished this hard-won family bond. It was like someone who had lived in the mountains all their life, had witnessed the hustle and bustle of the city, and was now being cruelly sent back to the mountains.
I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light.
The cruelest thing in the world is never never having had it, but having had it and then losing it again.
It's like watching your first love happily marry another man.
When Qiao Suinian opened his eyes again, his gaze had changed. His star-like eyes were no longer burdened by any constraints, just as they had been when he was reborn.
"I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will go."
Qiao Suinian stood up from the armchair. He stopped calling Qiao Chuxu "Dad." If Qiao Chuxu wasn't his biological father, then calling him that would be pointless.
If Qiao Chuxu is indeed his biological father, then after all these actions, Qiao Suinian has no intention of having anything to do with him anymore. From now on, Qiao Chuxu will be a stranger to Qiao Suinian.
If you give birth but don't raise the child, you can return a severed finger.
Going to the meeting with the Abyss Demons was the last favor Qiao Suinian would repay to Qiao Chuxu.
"Phew! It's so good that you think that way! Don't worry, everyone in Kyoto will be grateful to you!" Seeing that Qiao Suinian had agreed, Qiao Chuxu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Qiao Suinian ignored him and walked straight past Qiao Chuxu, causing Qiao Chuxu's expression to stiffen.
"Qiao Suinian, what kind of attitude is this? Can't you hear your father talking to you?" Qiao Suiyue shouted.
“That’s your dad, not mine.” Qiao Suinian said without turning her head.
Qiao Chuxu's face immediately turned ugly. Qiao Suiyue couldn't hold back any longer. Now that no one was backing Qiao Suiyue up, what was he afraid of?
"Stop right there! Do you still think you're the genius you used to be?" Qiao Suiyue drew her bow and shot an arrow at Qiao Suinian's thigh, intending to teach him a lesson.
However, although Qiao Suinian did not exude any power, he easily dodged the arrow by turning to the side.
"I think I told you before that you would die if you messed with me again, but you didn't seem to listen."
Qiao Suinian slowly turned her head and walked towards Qiao Suiyue.
The overwhelming sense of oppression made Qiao Suiyue involuntarily take several steps back. Immediately afterward, his face flushed red. He, Qiao Suiyue, was actually scared away by a piece of trash, which was hard for him to accept.
"You're nothing but trash now! You still want to kill me? How dare you!"
Qiao Suiyue drew his longbow again, and arrows imbued with immense power shot relentlessly toward Qiao Suinian, but no matter how many arrows he fired, not a single one struck Qiao Suinian.
It seemed as if Qiao Suinian possessed some strange power, causing the long arrows to whiz past him.
"How is this possible! You're clearly just a piece of trash!" Qiao Suiyue's eyes widened, filled with shock.
Even Qiao Chuxu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but frown. He couldn't understand what was going on in front of him.
Qiao Suiyue put down the longbow, then a sinister smile appeared on his lips.
"I refuse to believe you still have the strength you used to have! Qiao Suinian, take a good look at this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Suiyue tore open his shirt, and a strong golden light emanated from his ribs, as if a golden sun had appeared on his chest.
"Does this power look familiar, Qiao Suinian? I must say, your bones are truly amazing! My strength has undergone a qualitative leap! Hahahaha!"
Qiao Suiyue burst into maniacal laughter, her laughter filled with sarcasm, seemingly mocking Qiao Suiyue's foolishness.
However, he did not see the change in expression he wanted on Qiao Suinian's face. Qiao Suinian remained calm, as if nothing could move him in the slightest.
Qiao Suiyue was too young. He didn't understand how terrifying Qiao Suiyue was in this state. The most terrifying time for a person is when they have no ties or attachments.
Suppose there is a person who has no father, mother, wife, children, or any other family, and who has no attachments in this world. You should absolutely not provoke such a person.
If you slap an ordinary man, he might tolerate it because he has his parents, wife, children, and elderly parents to care for. But if you slap someone like this, it wouldn't be surprising if you were stabbed to death.
Seeing that Qiao Suinian did not react, Qiao Suiyue's gaze turned cold.
"I never expected you, you piece of trash, to be so patient! In that case, I'll use your strength to cripple you!"
Qiao Suiyue pushed off the ground with all his might, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the bluestone pavement. He rushed towards Qiao Suinian like a bolt of lightning.
The bone on his chest emitted a dazzling golden light, and power gathered on Qiao Suiyue's fist. He grinned and punched Qiao Suiyue in the face.
However, to Qiao Suiyue's surprise, Qiao Suiyue simply raised her hand and easily caught his punch.
"This...how is this possible? Aren't you already a cripple?" Qiao Yueyue's face was full of disbelief.
Qiao Suinian raised his eyelids, and his bones radiated golden light. A deep dragon roar resounded all around.
"Does a mere bone give you such immense confidence? I have 205 bones like yours!"
