You Are Very Naive

Guo Zixia smiled at that.

"It seems you've forgotten—I still have a trump card in my hand."

"A trump card bestowed upon me by the Heavenly Dao Sacred Land. No matter how formidable Sikong Jing and Chou Zhan may be, I do not regard them as a threat."

Everyone from the Way of Heaven Academy trembled slightly, cold glints flickering incessantly in their eyes.

They were both curious and expectant, eager to see Senior Brother Guo use the trump card granted by the Heavenly Dao Sacred Land to erupt in full force and crush Sikong Jing to death.

Treasure Immortal Tower blazed with dazzling lights.

Unlike the previous two days, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion could now openly receive Sikong Jing.

Yet at this moment, only Sikong Jing and Hua Lidian were in the rooftop pavilion of Treasure Immortal Tower. The two drank beneath the moon, sweeping away the gloom from before as the fragrance of wine and dishes drifted on the wind.

Still, Hua Lidian's brow remained tightly furrowed, as though a knot in his heart could not be untied.

Sikong Jing naturally knew why.

After considering it, he asked, "Mr. Hua, regarding Captain Hua, your daughter—is there anything you need my help with?"

They had now shaken off responsibility for Ren Dongmeng's affair, and Hua Lidian in particular had been completely cleared. The matter keeping him so troubled could only be related to Hua Meixi.

There had to be deep conflicts and misunderstandings between father and daughter.

"Alas..."

Hua Lidian let out a long sigh and gave Sikong Jing a bitter smile. Suddenly, he said, "Little Brother Sikong, Meixi has suffered untold hardships since childhood, and her temperament has become somewhat extreme. If she has offended you in any way, please do not take it to heart."
