"Sect Master, there must be Immortal Lords on the Eighth Layer! Why won't you let me fight?"
"My strength has improved so, so much over the years. I really want to fight—I'm about to burst from holding it in!"
"The Sect Master is so biased. Hmph!"
Yun Xuan stood to one side, pouting indignantly.
Exactly! Yesterday, he had said she could join the battle too. Why had he changed his mind again today?
Su Bai tilted his head slightly, a gentle smile on his face as he said softly, "Someone has come looking for you."
"Who?"
Yun Xuan turned around in confusion and happened to see Yun Hai slowly approaching.
The instant she clearly saw his face, the smile on her own face froze, replaced by obvious panic.
"Dad... you... why are you here..."
Yun Xuan's voice clearly lacked confidence. Her gaze drifted as she subconsciously edged closer to Su Bai.
Yun Hai stood with a stern face, his hands clasped behind his back as he looked down at his daughter.
"What?"
"Am I not allowed to come?"
His tone was flat, revealing neither joy nor anger.
Yun Xuan lowered her head guiltily and said in a small voice, "You... you can..."
Yet inwardly, she was panicking beyond measure.
It's over, it's over. How did Dad find this place?
She had run away from home for a thousand years. She had thought Dad would no longer care about her, yet he had actually come to the Ninth Layer himself!
What was she supposed to do now?
She secretly glanced at Su Bai, then quickly withdrew her gaze.
Naturally, that tiny movement did not escape Yun Hai's eyes.
The corner of his eye twitched slightly.
Good girl. She hadn't returned home for a thousand years—sure enough, this man had bewitched her!!
