The more Ye Yu listened, the more curious he became.
According to Master Ge’s account, the true culprit was Pang Bobing.
Even if Zhu Xincheng harbored hatred, it should have been directed at Pang Bobing. Why, for all these years, had she been sulking and fighting with Master Ge instead?
It made absolutely no sense.
Faced with this question, Master Ge let out a deep sigh.
"When I was at the height of my success, I made some small mistakes."
"You also know this. A man’s most handsome moment is when he is serious. And during that period, I was known as God Ge, so naturally there were many little admirers around me."
Ye Yu’s expression instantly turned extremely strange.
"To be fair, there is nothing wrong with saying you were full of vigor."
"But looking at you... saying that a man is most handsome when he is serious, I really cannot agree."
"A squinting eye and a bald head. Even if you are a serious god, I do not find you handsome in the slightest."
"Really. I can even swear on the Great Dao that every word I just said is true."
However, Master Ge’s subsequent words forced Ye Yu to swallow all his complaints back down.
"In truth, no one is a fool."
Master Ge had some awareness of his own appearance, though not very much.
But back then, his little admirers were countless.
Not to mention thousands. Several hundred, at the very least.
Master Ge was well aware that most of them were drawn to his abilities.
He originally intended to refuse them.
But unfortunately, the flowers were in full bloom.
There were a few who were simply too beautiful. In a moment of weak will, Master Ge failed to restrain himself and took in several concubines.
His wife Li Mu was not an unreasonable god.
She turned a blind eye to the matter.
But who would have thought that these concubines would push their luck and even try to rise in status, attempting to force Li Mu out?
They banded together, relying on favor to grow arrogant, and openly provoked the rightful wife.
Little Zhu Xincheng was the first to refuse to tolerate it and quarreled with them.
Yet those concubines insulted Zhu Xincheng along with Li Mu, even claiming that it was not certain whether Zhu Xincheng was Master Ge’s daughter at all.
After all, the father and daughter looked nothing alike.
Well, that point of attack was admittedly not without merit.
Master Ge looked like a green-skinned goblin, while Zhu Xincheng was stunning beyond compare. Saying they were father and daughter really did not seem convincing.
Li Mu completely lost her patience.
"You can trouble me all you want, but if you dare slander my daughter as a bastard, that is my bottom line. Touch it, and you die."
Thus, Li Mu went to Master Ge and forced him to choose.
Either drive all those women away, or she would take Zhu Xincheng and leave, never to see him again for the rest of their lives.
After hearing the entire story, Master Ge did not hesitate at all and directly killed those concubines.
The reason was simple.
He dearly loved his daughter Zhu Xincheng.
How could he allow anyone to say she was a bastard?
Afterward, Master Ge promised Li Mu that from then on he would be devoted to her alone and would never seek out other women again.
Upon receiving this promise, Li Mu was very happy and forgave Master Ge in her heart.
Some time later, with fine weather overhead,
Li Mu took Zhu Xincheng out for a spring outing, also taking the opportunity to temper her foundation.
Once they left, they were gone for three months. Before departing, she specifically reminded Master Ge not to forget his oath.
He also gave his guarantee readily.
He decided that during those three months, he would stay home and focus on forging artifacts, absolutely not stirring up any other nonsense.
However, the moment Li Mu left, someone came knocking on the door.
She claimed she was willing to spend three months in exchange for having a divine artifact forged.
Master Ge originally wanted to refuse.
But in the end, he truly could not hold himself back.
Do you think a beauty trap is merely about peerless looks?
Completely wrong.
It is looks combined with a clash of souls.
Over the years, what kind of goddesses had Master Ge not seen?
But what if this goddess could engage you in deep discussions, studying divine history together?
In this world, the rarest thing was a kindred spirit.
An academic partner by day.
Something else entirely at night.
This was simply impossible to refuse.
Master Ge fell.
And he began to hypnotize himself.
Since his wife was not around, once the three months were up, he would send her away before Li Mu returned.
He would treat it as a beautiful dream.
Thus, Master Ge and this goddess skilled in divine history research lived together in sweet intimacy.
What he never expected was that after only two months, Li Mu returned with Zhu Xincheng.
When she saw that Master Ge had once again broken the rules,
Li Mu and Zhu Xincheng left in anger.
No matter how Master Ge tried to persuade them, it was useless.
Seeing his family fall apart, Master Ge finally woke up and resolutely sent away the goddess skilled in divine history research.
But before parting, they agreed that the three-month period was still one month short.
When he had time later, they would continue.
At that time, Master Ge was still hoping that after he soothed Li Mu, he could secretly go out again.
But he never realized—
That separation was the second-to-last time he would ever see Li Mu.
The last time was when Li Mu died in his arms.
That is right.
It was precisely because Li Mu and Zhu Xincheng left home in anger that Pang Bobing later found an opening.
It could be said that if Li Mu and Zhu Xincheng had stayed safely by Master Ge’s side,
then even if Pang Bobing were given ten times the courage, he would never have dared to seize them openly.
But things just happened to align that way.
On the fifth day after Li Mu and Zhu Xincheng left home, Pang Bobing came to Master Ge and asked him to forge a divine artifact.
After being refused, Pang Bobing found Master Ge’s weakness a few days later.
He kidnapped Li Mu and Zhu Xincheng.
In the end, his scheme succeeded. He not only obtained the divine artifact smoothly, but also forced Master Ge into an impossible choice.
It could be said that Pang Bobing truly won everything.
Afterward, when Master Ge wanted revenge, he received news of Pang Bobing’s death.
He explained everything to Zhu Xincheng.
But how could Zhu Xincheng ever forgive such an incompetent father?
If Master Ge had not made that mistake back then, she and her mother would never have left home.
And none of the subsequent chain of events would have happened.
Therefore, Zhu Xincheng hated Master Ge.
She hated him to the very bone.
The words “old bastard” were already extremely restrained.
After hearing Master Ge’s entire account,
Ye Yu was instantly covered in black lines.
"You shameless old bastard, and you even tried to gloss over the important parts?"
"After hearing the first half of the story, one might feel sympathy for you. Who would have thought the real reason was at the end?"
"You deserve to die."
"Honestly, the fact that Zhu Xincheng did not kill her father already shows remarkable mercy."
"Li Mu’s death is absolutely related to Master Ge."
Ye Yu wanted to unleash a verbal barrage, but when he saw the tear tracks on Master Ge’s face, it ultimately turned into a single sigh.
