Sikong Jing stood blankly before Hua Lidian, then gently accepted the jade pendant and replied, "Alright, I'll make sure it reaches her."
Hearing this, Hua Lidian let out a long breath before tremblingly pushing himself to his feet.
Then he stared deeply at Sikong Jing again and said, "Brother Sikong, I have one more request. If you become some earth-shaking figure in the future, then if the Yao Family ever faces danger, please help them as well..."
Sikong Jing froze, not quite understanding what Hua Lidian meant.
He knew nothing of what Hua Lidian's family had gone through, so he was deeply puzzled.
At that moment, Hua Lidian sighed. "Back then, Meixi's Mother possessed the Demonic Charm Battle Body. Some terrifying figure took a liking to her and wanted to forcibly have her. Meixi was already five years old then."
"As her husband and father, I left them. I abandoned the mother and daughter just like that."
Sikong Jing's entire body trembled slightly. No wonder Hua Meixi hated him so deeply.
With a bitter smile, Hua Lidian said hoarsely, "Am I truly that awful?"
As he spoke, tears streamed down his face. "Back then, I took the mother and daughter and fled Chaos-Shaking City, trying to avoid that terrifying figure."
"We hid in a small village, and then I left alone. I wanted to find a way to contact a Divine Shuttle Ship, so I could take the mother and daughter back to settle in Eastern Plains Western Lands, where I was born."
"I told them to wait for me for half a month..."
"And then I never returned. By the time I contacted a Divine Shuttle Ship, I also received news that my father, my mother, and my entire clan were under siege and on the verge of destruction!"
