When Han Gu finally woke from unconsciousness, it was already deep into the night.

Looking around, he discovered that he was inside a massive room.

And the room seemed strangely familiar.

It felt as though he had been here before.

Before Han Gu could think further, Ye Yu pushed open the door and walked straight over to him.

“We meet again.”

“Looks like feeding you eighteen Divine Pills today actually worked.”

“But I’m curious...”

“Who beat you into this state this time?”

Hearing those words, Han Gu immediately blushed in embarrassment.

Seriously.

Did he not have any dignity left?

Always appearing in such a miserable state in front of a man who might potentially become his son in law was simply too humiliating.

He wanted to deny being beaten outright—

but the pain throughout his body still had not faded.

Truthfully, Han Gu had genuinely believed he would die there this time.

He just had not expected Ye Yu to pick him back up from death’s door once again.

Forget it.

Things had already reached this point.

Face no longer mattered.

Han Gu softly said, “Thank you for saving my life.”

“As for these injuries... my son, Han Qianzhang, caused them.”

Ye Yu was genuinely shocked.

In his impression, Han Qianzhang was basically an innocent little lamb to the extreme.

Someone like that would actually attack someone?

And violently beat up his own father?

That sounded far too unbelievable.

Han Gu was not surprised by Ye Yu’s expression.

Instead, with a face full of worry, he slowly recounted what had happened during his search for his son.

After leaving the Ye residence last time, Han Gu had searched throughout the God Realm for a very long time.

Finally, in a remote wasteland, he discovered traces of Han Qianzhang’s aura.

So he remained there and carefully searched every inch of the area.

Hard work eventually paid off.

In the end, Han Gu found Han Qianzhang hidden in a corner of the wasteland.

But unfortunately—

at that moment, Han Qianzhang appeared to have had his mind controlled by someone.

The way he looked at Han Gu was as cold as though he were staring at a complete stranger.

And he ignored every call directed toward him.

Instead, he simply continued flying northward on his own.

His speed was not especially fast—

but it remained incredibly steady.

It was only then that Han Gu suddenly realized—

Han Qianzhang’s cultivation had already reached the middle stage of the Ancient God Realm.

Such a massive leap in cultivation within such a short period of time, combined with his mind being controlled—

this was absolutely not a good sign.

Most likely, he had forcefully exchanged the power of his origin for temporary strength.

In order to forcibly stop his son, Han Gu immediately made his move, intending to completely seal Han Qianzhang.

Then bring him somewhere safe to examine him and figure out how to restore his consciousness.

The idea itself was good.

Unfortunately, his strength was not sufficient.

Han Gu’s attempt to seal Han Qianzhang completely enraged the person controlling him from behind the scenes.

That person controlled Han Qianzhang and struck furiously, nearly beating Han Gu to death on the spot.

After removing the obstacle in his path, Han Qianzhang once again continued heading north expressionlessly.

After hearing Han Gu’s explanation, Ye Yu looked like he wanted to speak but stopped himself.

That made sense.

Although Han Gu was also an Ancient God Realm cultivator, under normal circumstances he absolutely should not have been beaten this badly.

But because he cared too deeply about his son, there was no way he would dare use lethal force.

Meanwhile, Han Qianzhang’s mind was being controlled.

That meant he truly punched with full force.

Comparing the two sides like that—

Han Gu ending up in this condition suddenly felt perfectly normal.

The door opened once again.

Han Yuexi entered from outside.

Her expression was icy, her gaze emotionless.

Naturally, this appearance meant her divine nature was currently controlling her body.

When Han Gu saw Han Yuexi arrive, his eyes immediately softened.

Thinking back on how much he had neglected and failed his daughter over the years—

yet even now, she had still rushed over to see him the moment something happened.

This was the bond between father and daughter.

Han Gu slowly propped himself upright and sat up.

With a gentle tone, he said, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

“I just need a few days of rest.”

“Sorry for making you worry.”

Standing beside Ye Yu, Han Yuexi coldly replied, “I wasn’t worried.”

“I only came to see whether you were dead yet.”

The moment those words fell—

everyone present was stunned.

Neither Ye Yu nor Han Gu had expected Han Yuexi to say something like that the instant she arrived.

Was she here to visit her father—

or specifically to finish him off from anger?

Han Gu clutched his chest with one hand.

For some reason, he suddenly felt terribly suffocated there, almost unable to breathe.

Turning toward Ye Yu, he asked, “Does Yuexi always talk like this now?”

That question was completely instinctive.

Because in Han Gu’s memories, he had barely spoken much with his daughter at all.

Over the years, all his attention had been devoted entirely to his son Han Qianzhang.

He truly had not cared much for his daughter.

So if one really thought about it—

Han Gu could confidently say Ye Yu probably understood Han Yuexi better than he did.

“Uh... right now her divine nature is dominating her thoughts, so the way she talks is a little...”

Ye Yu laughed awkwardly as he quietly shifted half a step farther away.

Divine nature Han Yuexi never behaved according to common sense.

If possible, Ye Yu would rather stand farther away to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.

Han Gu knew Han Yuexi’s condition had been unstable recently, with her divine nature and human nature constantly switching back and forth.

So he immediately expressed understanding.

“Yuexi, Daddy’s fine.”

“How about you go rest first? I still need to discuss a few things with Ye Yu.”

“I’m not tired.”

“There’s no need to rest.”

“Go ahead and talk. I won’t interrupt.”

Han Yuexi truly did not stand on ceremony.

She directly sat down in a nearby chair without the slightest intention of leaving.

Han Gu felt extremely helpless at this.

But after thinking about it again—

if she wanted to stay, then she could stay.

After all, they were discussing Han Qianzhang’s matters.

No outsiders were present, so it did not matter if she listened.

Han Gu took out a paper crane from his Storage Ring.

“During the fight with Han Qianzhang, I left a mark on his robe.”

“As long as you use this paper crane, you’ll be able to locate him.”

“Now... I have an improper request I’d like to ask of you.”

“I want you to use the paper crane to find Han Qianzhang.”

“You don’t need to do anything else.”

“Just help me see what he’s doing.”

“Once I fully recover, I’ll think of a way to restore his consciousness myself.”

Ye Yu did not immediately reach out to take the paper crane.

Instead, he turned and glanced at Han Yuexi.

Logically speaking—

shouldn’t your own family matters be handled by your own family?

And you’re directly asking me to do it instead?

What, do you really think I’m your son in law already?

Han Gu could naturally guess what Ye Yu was thinking.

“Actually, I originally intended to have Yuexi handle this matter.”

“But her current condition is... somewhat special.”

“I really have no choice.”

“Please help me, alright?”

“I’ll definitely repay you generously in the future!”

“But you’re not allowed to have designs on Yuexi!”

Ye Yu’s face instantly darkened with black lines.

This old man seriously had something wrong with his brain.

He said it as though Ye Yu desperately wanted to do something with his daughter.

He had already explained countless times that the two of them were completely innocent.

Why would this old man just not listen?

Forget it.

There was no point saying more.

No matter what he said, Han Gu would never believe him anyway.

If he refused to believe it, then fine.

He would just treat this as doing a good deed.

Ye Yu raised his hand to take the paper crane—

only for someone else to snatch it first.
