"Yes, it's better if I tell you about what happened back then."

As Jiang Xiu finished speaking, a voice slowly rang out from outside the window, followed by a tall figure entering the room.

And this is precisely the Yuanen Tiandang!

Seeing Yuanen Tiandang appear, Jiang Xiu was not surprised at all, because the Ant Emperor's extraordinary perception had already detected it.

Although it's unclear why he's here, it's certainly better for this father to tell the story of what happened to the Yuanen Family back then than for him.

Upon seeing Yuanen Tiandang, Yuanen Yehui was momentarily stunned.

Isn't this the very father she's been trying to rescue all this time? And now he's standing right in front of her.

Suddenly, Yuanen Yehui felt a lump in her throat, and a surge of heat uncontrollably welled up in her eyes.

Looking at his daughter as she stood up, Yuanen Tiandang's eyes held both a father's love and a sense of guilt.

"Yehui..." Yuanen Tiandang called softly, closing his eyes with remorse and slowly opening his arms.

Yuanen Yehui's red lips were tightly pressed together, and her eyes were moist and red.

The next moment, Yuanen Yehui bumped into Jiang Xiu's arms, whispering excitedly, "Jiang Xiu, is this real?! Is this really real?! Isn't this a dream?"

"Yuanen, this isn't a dream, it's all real." Jiang Xiu placed his hands on Yuanen Yehui's shoulders and gently comforted her.

"Hmm?" Yuanen Tiandang, who was raising his arm, opened his eyes and saw his little cotton-padded jacket in someone else's arms. He was slightly stunned, and then his eyes widened like copper bells.

Oh no! It looks like his beautiful Xiao Bai is about to be eaten by a pig!

Immediately, Yuanen Tiandang glared fiercely at Jiang Xiu, gritting his teeth, "You little brat, you still say you're not a blondie!"

The only thing missing in this future is the ability to park your car in front of his house!

After a moment, with Jiang Xiu's comforting words, Yuanen Yehui slowly peeked out from Jiang Xiu's embrace.

However, her eyes were still red, and her tearful expression on her beautiful face evoked a sense of pity.

Jiang Xiu silently bore two heavy burdens...

Suddenly noticing that Yuanen Tiandang was glaring at him through gritted teeth, Jiang Xiu coughed, patted Yuanen Yehui on the back, and whispered:

"Now that Dangtian His/Her Excellency has arrived, let us sit down and have a proper chat about what happened back then. Your His/Her Excellency Dangtian, please."

Yuanen Tiandang glared at Jiang Xiu, then sat down on the sofa opposite him, but his gaze was constantly telling Jiang Xiu: I'll be watching you! I'll keep watching you!

"Father, how did you escape from that person's prison? And what about Mother? Did Mother really summon the Demon Plane back then, as Jiang Xiu said?!"

As soon as she sat down, Yuanen Yehui couldn't wait to ask, as she knew too little about what happened back then.

After listening to Jiang Xiu's story, she realized that what she saw back then might not have been true...

"Yehui, I'll tell you all these things." Yuanen Tiandang nodded slightly, then looked at Jiang Xiu beside him and said, "But since we're discussing family matters, shouldn't you, little brat, go outside for a bit?"

Jiang Xiu an eyebrow slightly, glanced at Yuanen beside him, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and said softly, "Since we're discussing family matters, I'll excuse myself for a moment."

But just as Jiang Xiu stood up, a delicate hand grabbed the hem of his clothes.

Immediately afterward, Yuanen Yehui's voice, somewhat weak yet strangely firm, rang out, "Father, Jiang Xiu doesn't need to go out."

After saying that, Yuanen Yehui felt her ears burning, but she still pulled Jiang Xiu down to sit.

Yuanen Tiandang saw this scene, he felt his heart break instantly, filled with the helplessness of an old father.

Seeing his father's expression, Yuanen Yehui quickly explained, "Father, Jiang Xiu knows a lot and often helps me, so I feel he doesn't need to avoid me."

Yuanen Tiandang glanced at Jiang Xiu, then waved his hand helplessly and said, "Since that's the case, then stay."

Immediately, a look of reminiscence and pain appeared in Yuanen Tiandang's eyes. "Back then, your mother and I were extremely loving, and our life was very happy. But everything changed after your mother broke through to the Titled Douluo."

Yuanen Yehui instantly realized that Jiang Xiu was right.

"Just as this brat just said, after your mother broke through to the Titled Douluo, her ninth Soul Skill was actually a special Soul Skill called Demon Advent. At the time, I didn't think much of it."

But just a few days after your mother broke through to the Titled Douluo, everything changed. Your mother suddenly lost her composure and even showed murderous intent, to the point that I couldn't even recognize her anymore."

At this point, Yuanen Tiandang's expression was filled with pain.

"But none of that matters. The most important thing is that your mother suddenly disappeared one time, and when I found her, she had been controlled by Killing Consciousness and opened Demon Passage!"

"Furthermore, by then, countless demonic creatures had already spread throughout the entire back mountain! They were wreaking havoc and plundering indiscriminately!"

Yuanen Tiandang looked at the two people opposite him, his tone even somewhat helpless. The demons that covered the mountains and fields back then were so shocking.

Suddenly, Yuanen Tiandang noticed that Jiang Xiu's apple moved slightly. He thought that Jiang Xiu was intimidated by the demon he had mentioned, but he understood. After all, there were just too many demons back then! And they were so brutal!

"Countless demons... if they were all transformed into Shadow Soldiers, what a massive Shadow Legion that would be..." Jiang Xiu's apple bobbed as he thought with intense fervor.

It seems that for the sake of the future Abyss War, we can only suffer for these demons who once plundered their Douluo Plane; at worst, they'll bear the blame...

"Hmm?" Yuanen Tiandang suddenly felt something was wrong. Why was Jiang Xiu's apple bobbing so much? It didn't seem like something that would be caused by fear...

However, Yuanen Tiandang didn't pay attention to these things at the moment, and continued:

"These demons were quickly discovered by our Yuanen family, and a fierce battle ensued between the demons and our Yuanen Family."

Although the demons were eventually driven back to the Demon Plane, our Yuanen Family suffered heavy losses, including your second aunt who died in this war...

Yuanen Yehui listened to the story, a hint of bewilderment slowly surfaced in her dark red eyes. This was completely different from what she knew. No one had told her about the great war, nor had anyone told her that Fallen Angel posed such a threat.

"Then what about Father? What about Mother? Did she also die in the great battle?" Yuanen Yehui asked, her red lips pressed tightly together.

"No." Yuanen Tiandang shook his head with a sigh. "Your mother didn't die in the war, but she has already broken through to the Titled Douluo level and will continue to send coordinates to the Demon Plane, which means the Demon Plane will make a comeback."

"You can't even cripple your own cultivation?" Yuanen Yehui asked incredulously.

"No, after your mother broke through to the Titled Douluo, her Fallen Angel Martial Soul changed. Even if she crippled herself, she would still continuously send coordinates to the Demon Plane. The only solution is... death."

Upon hearing this, Yuanen Yehui instantly understood.

Her mother wasn't killed by her grandfather; she committed suicide to prevent the Demon Plane from returning!

"Even one of the Elder of the Sea God Pavilion told your grandfather that Soul Master with the Fallen Angel Martial Soul is born with Demon Pill. Your grandfather didn't let you stay in the family to protect you," Yuanen Tiandang continued to explain.

"If Grandpa was just putting on an act, then why were you imprisoned for so many years, Father?" Yuanen Yehui's voice trembled slightly. "Were you also injured in that battle?"

Upon hearing this, Yuanen Tiandang froze. He couldn't very well say that he had fallen into depravity by doing so.

Immediately, Yuanen Tiandang coughed twice and said, "Your grandfather imprisoned me to appease the anger of the clan at the time."

Upon hearing this, Yuanen Yehui breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "I thought my once-great father had given up on himself..."

Upon hearing Yuanen Tiandang fell silent instantly.

"Father, is there really no solution?" Yuanen Yehui asked with some difficulty.

"Yes, that is to cripple one's Martial Soul and cultivation before breaking through to the Titled Douluo, and never break through to the Titled Douluo in one's entire life." Yuanen Tiandang hesitated for a moment before slowly saying.

"But don't worry, Yehui, your father will face this with you and will not let the tragedy of that year repeat itself!" Yuanen Tiandang said firmly after saying that.

"Father, perhaps that Sea God Pavilion Elder is right. It might be a mistake for me to possess the Fallen Angel Martial Soul. Rather than being controlled like Mother in the future, it's better to..."

Yuanen Yehui shook his head slightly and said with a bitter smile.

As her father said, his mother, father, and the Titan Yuanen Family were all severely injured because of the Fallen Angel Martial Soul, and she did not want such a tragedy to happen again.

Upon hearing this, Yuanen Tiandang was immediately anxious. He didn't want his daughter to Trash Martial Soul and cultivation!

"Yuanen, do you remember what I told you before?"

"Trust me, there will be a way to solve this. I'm always here for you, always."

Just as Yuanen Yehui reached out his hand towards his chest, it was grasped by a long, strong hand, and Jiang Xiu's voice rang in his ears again.

"Jiang Xiu, this is too much trouble, and it has nothing to do with you. Please don't get involved, okay?"

Yuanen Yehui looked at Jiang Xiu, his tone becoming extremely indifferent, but a hint of reluctance flickered in his eyes.

"Yuanen, how can this be none of my business? You still owe money, and as your creditor, I have the right to ensure your safety until you pay it off."

Jiang Xiu held Yuanen Yehui's hand and slowly lowered it.

"But this is a huge problem, and you might not be able to solve it," Yuanen Yehui said, her tone dismissive. Even the Yuanen Family couldn't solve it, so what could Jiang Xiu possibly do?

She didn't want to trouble Jiang Xiu anymore.

"If you can't solve the problem, then deal with the person who created it."

"You've never had a predetermined fate. And even if you did, how about I help you break free of those shackles?"

Looking into Jiang Xiu's determined eyes, Yuanen Yehui was slightly taken aback, and her delicate hand was taken into Jiang Xiu's grasp.

Yuanen Tiandang was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene. Was he some kind of invisible person?
