Su Ye turned her head and saw that Huan Zhong didn't react. A bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Sir, you've noticed it long ago too?"
Huan Zhong snorted coldly, neither confirming nor denying.
He had spent many years in the army. There were too many people with ulterior motives in the demon army. He had long developed a discerning eye. Su Ye's expressions and small gestures couldn't deceive him.
He originally planned not to let Huan Qianyu be sad. He would secretly deal with this person after they got out of the Abyssal Maw. Unexpectedly, Huan Qianyu herself had seen through it.
It seemed that his own daughter had really made great progress...
The loving look in Huan Zhong's eyes as he looked at Huan Qianyu deeply stabbed Su Ye's eyes.
Su Ye broke down and shouted at Huan Zhong, "You're also my father. Why can't you even look at me properly!"
Hearing this, Huan Qianyu looked at Huan Zhong in shock, while the latter looked shocked and confused.
When did he have another daughter?
"Father... When did you...?"
Huan Zhong sneered, "What are you thinking? I've only had Qianyu's mother as my wife. Naturally, I only have Qianyu as my daughter. I swear on my immortal path that I've never betrayed my wife!"
Huan Qianyu turned her head suspiciously and looked at Su Ye.
Su Ye widened her eyes and shouted, "If you're not my father, why did you bring me back from the slums? Why did you let me enjoy the treatment of the second young lady of the Huan family? Moreover... You also told my mother that you were sorry for her back then!"
The more she spoke, the more convinced Su Ye became that Huan Zhong was deceiving her.
Although she was still young back then, she remembered very clearly the conversation between Huan Zhong and her mother.
Huan Zhong said he was sorry for her mother, and her mother also looked at Huan Zhong with nostalgia. They clearly looked like lovers.
So, the young Su Ye made up a story in her mind about a poor boy marrying a rich girl and then abandoning his original wife.
Moreover, Lin Yibai had also told her that Huan Zhong was indeed her father, because her mother had worked as a cook in Huan Zhong's military camp when she was young. Huan Zhong's kindness to her mother was the evidence.
So, in order to take back what originally belonged to her, Su Ye betrayed Huan Qianyu and killed Su Zhi.
Hearing this, Huan Zhong was a bit speechless.
"Your father was once a deputy general under me. But because he was dishonest, I ordered him to be executed according to the military regulations. However, your father once saved my life, so I said I was sorry for your mother. Also, because of this kindness, I treated you as half my daughter."
Hesitating, Huan Zhong still concealed some truths. Su Ye's father wasn't executed because of being dishonest, but because he had brutally killed three Nether White Wolves after getting drunk and was ordered to be executed by the former Demon Lord.
Because of the life - saving grace, even at this moment, Huan Zhong still couldn't bear to hurt his daughter.
But Su Ye obviously couldn't accept this fact. She shook her head, crying desperately.
"No! No! You must be lying to me!"
"Lin Yibai said that my father is you! It's you..."
Huan Qianyu finally heard some useful information from Su Ye's mouth. She gritted her teeth and said, "I knew it. It was that bitch again!"
Then, Huan Qianyu resolutely threw the remaining bag of ashes at Su Ye's feet.
"You've betrayed me. I can't take you with me anymore. You can take these ashes and find another way out. My family has raised you, and you've also harmed me. I even feel it's a loss to say we're even. Don't appear in front of me again."
Saying that, Huan Qianyu turned around and left with Huan Zhong.
Su Ye was still immersed in her own emotions. When she came to her senses, she belatedly realized what stupid things she had done.
"Sir! Miss! I was wrong! It was Su Ye who was wrong!!!"
But the thick fog swallowed all her sounds. Not a single sound got through.
When she was left alone, all the emotions like despair, fear, and terror surged up and engulfed Su Ye.
Su Ye hugged herself tightly. Her regret slowly turned into hatred for Lin Yibai.
If it weren't for Lin Yibai, she wouldn't have been abandoned by Huan Qianyu, and she wouldn't have killed Su Zhi, who had grown up with her!
Lin Yibai had plotted against her and harmed the Huan family. Why could that bitch still live a good life!
She must avenge the Huan family and redeem her sin for Su Zhi.
Su Ye wiped away her tears. She took a deep look at the direction where Huan Qianyu and her father had left, then resolutely turned around and walked back the way she came.

Shen Qing and Li Xian had already forgotten how many spirit beasts they had killed. They only remembered constantly drawing their swords, taking pills, drawing their swords, and taking pills. It got dark and then bright again, and bright and then dark again.
Their bodies were stained with the blood of spirit beasts, sticky and full of a stinky smell.
Just dealing with that spirit beast at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm had almost exhausted them.
But the continuous stream of spirit beasts made them not dare to stop for a moment. They could only keep fighting.
In the end, the degree of combination between Shen Qing and Wu Wang became higher and higher. She even realized several different moves.
Wu Wang seemed never to get tired. It could absorb the spiritual power around it and recover on its own.
"Shen Qing, can you still hold on?"
Li Xian had just finished dealing with the last spirit beast. He propped his body up with his sword and looked at Shen Qing tiredly.
After fighting for several days, the influence of that fluctuation had weakened a bit. The number of crazy spirit beasts rushing over had decreased a lot. But as soon as Li Xian opened his mouth, he felt that there was some spirit - beast blood in his mouth. He showed a disgusted expression.
Shen Qing stood still, feeling the continuous stream of power coming from her body. She only felt it was amazing.
"I'm fine. I... actually don't feel tired..."
It wasn't only because of the pills. It was also because of the spiritual bone in her body. Her wounds and fatigue were quickly recovering with the help of the spiritual bone. The initial feeling of being overwhelmed slowly disappeared. Shen Qing even imagined that if the spiritual bone in her body was complete, would she be able to directly kill her way through the entire Beast Forest.
But this imagination was shattered when Ling Zhou spoke again.
"Little apprentice, how's your body? Be careful. A spirit beast at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm is coming. Your master will cheer you on!"
Shen Qing's hand trembled slightly. She quickly replied, "No. You're so noisy!"
Li Xian seemed to sense something. He frowned and raised his sword to block in front of Shen Qing. "Be careful. There's another one!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a white - forehead flying tiger jumped out. When they looked at each other, Shen Qing noticed something was wrong.
There was a white mark on the tiger's forehead, like a vertical eye. It had a pair of wings on its back. Its eyes were bright. When it saw the mess on the ground, there was even a flash of disgust in its eyes.
"This flying tiger has developed spiritual wisdom..."
Shen Qing said with a solemn expression. Li Xian also sank his face and tightly grasped the sword in his hand.
"Oh no. A flying tiger at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm with spiritual wisdom. Can you two little guys handle it?"
Ling Zhou's voice was full of worry.
They weren't afraid of a spirit beast with high cultivation, but they were afraid of a spirit beast with spiritual wisdom.
The flying tiger looked around and locked in on the location of the barrier. Seeing that Shen Qing and Li Xian were both holding their swords and guarding in front, it wasn't in a hurry to attack. It just paced slowly in front of the two of them, as if calculating how to deal with them.
