Helian Nie frowned, looking at Helian Si with a complicated expression, and parted his thin lips slightly.
"I, and everything in this world, were created by you at will?"
Helian Si was shocked; it was utterly injustice, like the story of Dou E. He raised two fingers and cried out repeatedly, "I'm innocent!"
“Heaven and earth bear witness, Father Emperor, how could you be a mere fabrication? When I wrote about you and my brothers, I used my divine consciousness, especially yours; I used the strongest wisp of my divine consciousness for you.”
"Do you know what this means? It means that you and your brothers were all born into this world from my divine consciousness. That's why I say you are my child, and my brothers are too..."
As the conversation progressed, Helian Si's voice grew softer and softer, for no other reason than that he was cowardly.
No wonder, no wonder when that ugly thing was still a chubby baby, it would often call him "baby." He just took it as the ugly thing's childish talk because it didn't understand.
Unexpectedly, there was this reason behind it all. The obvious facts were right in front of us, but...
Helian Nie's long, narrow, peach-blossom-shaped eyes gazed at Helian Si, who was smiling ingratiatingly at him out of guilt. Helian Nie's feelings were extremely complicated.
Imagine if you had been a father for over a decade and suddenly became your child's child—you can imagine how you would feel.
"Well, Father, I know what you're thinking. You don't need to worry about it. I've called you Father for the past ten years or so. Just think of me as your son."
As a devoted daughter, Helian Si felt it was necessary to stand up for her, so she fawned over Helian Nie and fawned over him.
Helian Nie stared at Helian Si for a long time without saying a word. Just as Helian Si was about to get goosebumps, Helian Nie nodded.
It was a kind of agreement with Helian Si's suggestion, but the look on Jun's face—wanting to say something in rebuttal but unable to think of anything to say and reluctantly agreeing—was somewhat amusing.
Because the seal within Helian Si's body had been removed, he could speak long before he did.
Helian Si blocked out the sound of the father and daughter talking inside the tent; otherwise, Chang Ying and the others guarding outside the tent would probably be dumbfounded.
Helian Si finished drinking the warm water in his hand, his beautiful peach blossom eyes looking back at Helian Nie. He paused, then spoke.
"Father, there is one more thing, about my eldest brother..."
"To raise an army in rebellion?"
Helian Nie's voice was cold and sinister, his handsome face showing no emotion as he continued Helian Si's words.
Helian Si was astonished. "Father, Father Emperor, when did you find out?"
That shouldn't be the case. My eldest brother only planned to confine her and my third brother to Prince Yi's residence today. It was only a moment ago that I rushed to the border. How could Father have known?
"This spy incident in the military was also his doing."
He wasn't unaware of how the eldest son had treated him over the years, but he hadn't thought it would cause much of a stir.
He never expected him to be so capable, causing trouble at the very last moment when he was unifying the world. He underestimated his eldest son.
"Yes, Father, are you very angry?"
Helian Si lowered her eyelids, feeling somewhat nervous. When she learned that her eldest brother was behind her father's perilous situation and uncertain fate, she...
She was angry, very angry, otherwise she wouldn't have broken the seal. But now that she saw her father was alright, her mood calmed down a lot.
"My elder brother has always doted on me since we were little," she said, reaching out to gently tug at Helian Nie's sleeve, pleading cautiously in a small voice.
"Father, can you promise me that you will not punish my eldest brother for his serious crime?"
