Di Tian took a few steps forward.

Seeing Di Tian approach, Yuanen Huihui grew even more nervous, her tiny hands clutching Yun Lan's skirt tightly.

"P-previous generation..."

"Don't be afraid." Since Yun Lan had entrusted this to him, Di Tian naturally intended to properly resolve Yuanen Huihui's problem.

"Follow me from now on."

"I can't promise you'll live all that well, but at the very least, those cousins your age won't dare bully you again."

The Yuanen Family was a large clan.

The elders could not interfere too much in how those of the same generation got along, which made Yuanen Huihui especially vulnerable to bullying from clansmen her own age.

In the original timeline.

Yuanen Huihui's older sister, Tang Yuge, had beaten up the Yuanen clansmen who bullied her, becoming the light of Yuanen Huihui's childhood.

Sure enough.

Just one sentence was enough to make the innocent Yuanen Huihui lower her guard and stop feeling nervous.

Her petite body edged out from behind Yun Lan, her large, sparkling eyes gazing at Di Tian.

That look seemed to say: Senior Di Tian is a good person.

After comforting Yuanen Huihui.

Di Tian then said to Yun Lan, "Let's resolve Huihui's issue of having both male and female traits today."

"Call her parents over."

Yun Lan nodded solemnly, raising two fingers to her lips as her red lips parted slightly.

Several sentences, wrapped in flowing light, flew toward the Elf Divine Tree with a flick of Yun Lan's fingers.

For such a major life decision, Yuanen Huihui's parents naturally had to be present.

Before long.

Just as Di Tian was lamenting, "Who would have thought that one day, I'd be mediating family disputes among the descendants of that old gorilla Er Ming?"

Yuanen Huihui's parents arrived.

Her father, Yuanen Fengyu, and her mother, Yun Liao.

And one extra person had come as well.

Tang Yuge.

On the surface, she was Yuanen Fengyu's child with his ex-wife, Yuanen Huihui's elder half-sister from the same father.

The three of them greeted him together.

They did not show any disrespect because Di Tian had transformed and cultivated anew.

"Senior Beast God."

After the greetings, Yuanen Fengyu said apologetically, "Yuge insisted on coming. She is Huihui's sister too, so I brought her along."

"Please forgive us, Senior."

Di Tian glanced at Tang Yuge and noticed that she was constantly glaring at Yuanen Huihui with hostility.

"Since she's here, she's here."

"Today's matter will also concern your little Yuge."

Yuanen Fengyu wanted to ask, "What does Yuanen Huihui's matter have to do with Tang Yuge?" However, Di Tian gave him no chance to interrupt.

He continued, "I heard from Yun Lan."

"She and Yun Liao hope Huihui will become a girl and inherit the position of Elf Queen in the future."

"And you hope Huihui will become a boy."

"The reason being that you already have a daughter, Tang Yuge, and want a son."

Seeing Di Tian's calm, lake-like expression and his piercing golden eyes, Yuanen Fengyu's heart skipped a beat.

Before he could continue panicking.

Di Tian seemed to have activated mind-reading.

"Your heart is in turmoil."

"You're wondering whether you should lie in your next sentence."

The moment Di Tian said this.

Nearly everyone present turned to look at Yuanen Fengyu.

Yet Yuanen Fengyu still gritted his teeth and said:

"Yes."

"Senior."

"The reason I wanted Huihui to become a boy was indeed because I already had a daughter."

At that moment, Di Tian did not respond immediately. He merely stared directly at this liar.

"Huff, huff—"

Yuanen Fengyu's breathing immediately grew rapid. Not only was he panicking, but he was also terrified.

He was a Titled Douluo, yet before Di Tian, whose cultivation was only at the first ring, he felt an unprecedented pressure.

But he still stubbornly held his ground and did not retract what he had just said.

However, Di Tian would not consider things from Yuanen Fengyu's perspective. The one he needed to look after was Yuanen Huihui.

Since the other party was unwilling to tell the truth, then he would say it himself.

"Regarding your family affairs,"

"I may not pay attention to them, but it would be nearly impossible to hide such a difference in bloodlines from me."

"Huihui and Yuge clearly have no blood relation whatsoever."

"Moreover,"

"You knew you were raising someone else's child, yet you still did so willingly."

"Ah?!" Yun Lan and Yun Liao, mother and daughter, looked at Yuanen Fengyu in synchronized shock.

"Yuge isn't your biological daughter?!"

"Sigh—" Yuanen Fengyu wore a pained expression and let out a long sigh.

"Senior, your eyes see all."

Although Di Tian had exposed him, he did not resent him.

To be fair, Di Tian had exposed his lie in order to help Yuanen Huihui, his true biological daughter.

"Yuge." Yuanen Fengyu looked at Tang Yuge with deep guilt.

However, the person he felt guilty toward was not Tang Yuge, but Tang Yuge's biological mother.

"You truly are not my biological daughter."

"Back then,"

"Your biological father and I both fell in love with your mother. Coincidentally, your family ran into trouble at the time—your grandfather had gone missing."

"Your father and I both wanted to resolve that trouble and win your mother's affection."

"In the end,"

"I succeeded."

"Your father, however, went missing during the operation. He was gone for several months."

"After that,"

"With your grandfather presiding over the matter, your mother agreed to marry me."

"However,"

"Not long after our wedding, your mother confessed to me that the reason she had agreed to marry me was because she had already been intimate with your father and was carrying you."

"She believed that, after being missing for several months, your father was already dead. She did not want the child in her womb to be born without a father, so she agreed to marry me."

"And the reason she confessed to me was because your father had returned by then."

"I even saw the two of them meeting in secret."

"Furious, I attacked and defeated your father. I told him that unless he could defeat me, he was never to appear again."

"But your mother and I could no longer continue either, and we eventually separated."

"We told the outside world that we were unsuitable for each other."

"I kept the secret that you were not my biological daughter all this time."

"Because I knew"

"that once it was exposed, your mother's reputation would be utterly ruined, and she would be scorned by everyone."

"I, I..."

"I didn't want to."

"I didn't want to see your mother condemned by thousands."

"Using the excuse that I already had a biological daughter to make Huihui become a boy was, to some extent, also tied to proving that you were my biological daughter."

"If Senior Di Tian hadn't revealed it today, I probably would have hidden it for the rest of my life."

"No, no..." Tang Yuge shook her head frantically.

"Drip. Drip..." Little pearls of tears kept falling.

"This isn't real!"

"This isn't real!"

She had always believed that Yuanen Fengyu was the one in the wrong—that he had fallen for someone else and abandoned her and her mother.

Even so.

Because of that, she had let her resentment spill over.

She had even come to hate Yuanen Fengyu's biological daughter, Yuanen Huihui.

Toward Yuanen Huihui, she felt both the care one had for a younger sibling and the hatred born of misplaced resentment.

That was also why she had insisted on coming along today.

She was worried about Yuanen Huihui's gender transformation, but she also resented how Yuanen Huihui could receive the care and concern of the entire family.

But now, now...
