The sunlight outside the restaurant was dazzling—so bright it almost stung.
It fell upon Qian Renxue's face, revealing her frozen expression.
She stood there, motionless, staring at the old man before her.
The grandfather who, in her heart, had always been omnipotent.
Unshakable.
God-like.
But now Qian Daoliu's tall figure cast a long, desolate shadow.
His face—once stern yet gentle—was now drained of life, carrying only a heavy sorrow.
His lips trembled.
Every word he squeezed out seemed to weigh ten thousand pounds.
"Xue'er…"
"Some things… are better not known."
His voice was hoarse, exhausted beyond measure.
"Don't let those filthy pasts stain you."
Qian Renxue laughed.
It was a laugh uglier than crying.
"Filthy pasts?"
She took a step forward.
The last trace of hesitation vanished from her eyes, replaced by a twisted mix of clarity and madness.
"Bibi Dong cursed the words 'Qian family' like they were poison."
"The Senior told me my truth is too narrow."
"And now you want to brush me off with vague warnings?"
Her voice rose—shaking, pleading, desperate.
"Grandfather!"
"I am your granddaughter! And her daughter!"
"Do I not even have the right to know the truth?"
"Or is the truth… truly that unspeakable?"
Qian Daoliu's body jolted violently.
He closed his eyes.
A pain carved into his bones twisted across his face.
Unspeakable?
Unspeakable wasn't enough.
It was a sin that forever condemned the Angel Clan to shame.
A sin he had never atoned for.
A sin he would never be able to.
When he finally opened his eyes again—
the usual tenderness was gone.
Only deep, suffocating sorrow remained.
"Right?"
He repeated her word, voice bitter.
"Xue'er… what you seek is not a right."
"It is a knife."
"A knife that will stab straight into your heart… and shatter everything you believe in."
Qian Renxue's pulse stopped for a moment.
She didn't understand.
She couldn't.
Qian Daoliu's voice continued, trembling:
"You've always been proud of your father."
Qian Renxue nodded instinctively.
Her father—Qian Xunji—hero of Spirit Hall, martyr, Supreme Pontiff.
That was the story she'd always known.
That was the foundation of her identity.
"That truth…"
Qian Daoliu gazed into the distance, as if seeing that nightmare again—
that scene he could never forget.
His voice trembled:
"…will destroy him in your heart."
"It will reveal what kind of…"
His throat seized.
He nearly shattered his own teeth before spitting out the words—filled with hatred, regret, and self-disgust:
"…thing worse than a beast."
Every syllable was a thunderclap, slamming into Qian Renxue's chest.
She staggered.
Worse than a beast?
Impossible.
"Lies!"
She screamed, paling instantly.
"Father is a hero who died for Spirit Hall! Why would you slander him? Bibi Dong's words are nonsense—don't tell me even you—"
"I slander him?"
Qian Daoliu suddenly snapped his gaze toward her.
A terrifying, explosive light burst from his eyes.
"Xue'er! Why do you think I never stopped her all these years?!"
"Why do you think I handed the position of Supreme Pontiff to an outsider—letting her oversee the generations of effort our Qian family poured into Spirit Hall?!"
He pointed to his own chest, voice breaking.
"Because this is the debt our Qian family owes her!"
"Because your very existence constantly reminds her of that day!"
"That day is her eternal nightmare—her lifelong torment!"
Qian Daoliu couldn't continue.
His voice collapsed.
He clenched his jaw so hard his face twitched.
But Qian Renxue's voice suddenly erupted.
"You heard what the Senior said!"
"You saw the look in that woman's eyes!"
"Worse than a beast… worse than a beast!!!"
She hurled Qian Daoliu's own words back at him.
A knife—straight to her own heart.
A knife—straight into the heart of the man who raised her.
"The father I've been proud of for twenty years—"
"The hero I admired—"
"In your eyes, in her eyes—
he is worse than a beast?!"
"And I—his daughter—carrying his blood—have lived like an idiot in your lie?!"
All her confusion, all her pain, all her fear—
burned into a single blazing madness.
She understood now.
Asking any further here would be useless.
"Fine."
"You won't speak."
"Then I will find out myself."
Her voice became a vow.
A proclamation.
"Even if I must dig three feet into hell—
I will uncover the truth."
"I want to know—what drove Bibi Dong into madness."
"I want to know—what my father did—
that even you, his father, call him worse than a beast."
The moment her voice fell—
Buzz—!!
A clear divine chime.
Holy light burst from her back.
A pair of dazzling angel wings—pure white and flawless—unfurled with a snap.
They were a symbol of glory.
The Senior's grace.
Her Spirit's evolution.
But now—
they lifted a heart on the brink of collapse.
With a violent flap—
Wind roared.
Dust spiraled upward.
Qian Renxue transformed into a white streak of light and shot into the sky.
Without looking back.
Without hesitation.
Heading toward the oldest, forbidden library of Spirit Hall—
To tear the truth out by her own hands.
"Xue'er—!"
Qian Daoliu reached out instinctively—
But could only watch her disappear.
His hand trembled.
His voice cracked.
"Xunji… must Xue'er pay the price for your sins…?"
The wind in Spirit City howled like a warning.
Just as Qian Renxue vanished into the distance—
at the city gates—
A middle-aged man in simple clothes slowly lifted his head.
His face was rigidly serious.
But his eyes—
They flickered with emotions too tangled to untangle:
Nostalgia.
Unwillingness.
Shame.
Resentment.
And beneath all of it—
A long-suppressed arrogance finally bursting free.
His back straightened.
A stiff, self-satisfied smile tugged at his lips.
"Spirit City…"
"I, Yu Xiaogang… have returned."
