"Why did you help me?"
Beiming Zheng had barely recovered a little of his vitality. With Beiming Xue supporting him, he rose to his feet and sat down in a chair. His murky yet slightly lucid eyes were filled with confusion.
He could sense the condition of his body. Although he was terribly weak, his foundation remained intact and was even stronger than before. After recuperating for a while, he might not exactly rejuvenate, but at the very least, he could advance further than before, master Untrammeled Limitless, and no longer risk backlash from cultivation deviation.
Gu Sheng turned around and gave a cheeky smile. "Don't misunderstand. No matter what, your daughter has followed me, so you're my father-in-law! For Xue'er's sake, I won't do anything to Beiming Mountain Manor. Of course, that's provided you don't provoke me again."
"You... cough, cough..."
Gu Sheng's words naturally failed to satisfy Beiming Zheng. How could he be the kind of man who sold his daughter to beg for mercy? But the moment he grew slightly agitated, a surge of qi rampaged through his heart and lungs, making him cough violently.
"Father, your health is more important. Please don't get angry."
Beiming Xue carefully comforted Beiming Zheng, then said softly, "I... I did it willingly."
As Gu Sheng spoke, he stood up and casually released the restriction on Beiming Lei. "I won't be staying at Beiming Mountain Manor for long, so you don't need to worry too much. Arrange for someone to take me to the fire eye discovered by the Beiming Clan. I'll deal with the problem there. The fact that it took the lives of your wife and children back then wasn't an accident."
"I'll lead the way!"
Beiming Xue suddenly spoke up. She moved aside and gestured toward Beiming Lei.
