Seeing his father looking utterly devastated, Xia Lihui naturally knew why he had reacted that way and said what he had just said.
But Xia Lihui hurried to reassure him. "Dad, things might not actually come to that. We still have room to make things right!"
"Hm?"
At his words, Xia Hun suddenly perked up, as though he'd grabbed hold of a lifeline. He hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"
Xia Lihui took a deep breath and said slowly, "Dad, it's true that we went after the Tong Family in Qinghe, but so far we haven't done anything too extreme. At least, we haven't taken anyone's life."
"The news that Ning Xian Zun is still alive only just came out, and the relationship between that young girl from the Tong Family and Ning Xian Zun might not be all that close."
"The Tong Family isn't a cultivation family, nor are they really a top-tier family. They're just a family from a small place like Qinghe City."
"They can't possibly have found out so quickly that Ning Xian Zun is still alive. And Ning Xian Zun might not contact that girl from the Tong Family so soon or learn what's happened during this time."
"That gives us a gap in both information and timing. We have enough room to make arrangements, make up for what we've done, and turn things around!"
Only then did Xia Hun catch on. A hint of delight appeared on his face. "Exactly. You're right. There's no way the Tong Family could have learned so quickly that Ning Xian Zun is still alive."
"As long as we deal with the Tong Family before Ning Xian Zun finds out, get them to keep quiet and stop pursuing the matter, then everything will naturally be resolved!"
Xia Lihui nodded.
