'I... basically got it for free.'
"Enough of that!"
Zhao Huan smiled. "Take out your Emperor Pill and break through now. Today, I'll stand guard for you! To be honest, I'm ashamed. I gave pointers to so many useless brats today, yet I've never once guided my most outstanding son."
"Father!"
Zhao Yong sighed. "Standing guard is exhausting. I can't bear to see you tire yourself out, Father. It's just a minor breakthrough; I can manage it myself!"
"You..."
Zhao Huan was so moved his voice choked with emotion. He slowly rose to his feet, placing a withered hand gently on Zhao Yong's head. "Such a good son..."
Complex emotions churned within Zhao Yong.
Zhao Huan sighed softly. "But... why did you have to turn on your own brother?"
Zhao Yong: "!!!"
The tension that had just begun to ease snapped taut.
He felt as if he'd been plunged into an icy abyss and quickly prostrated himself. "Father! Why would you say such a thing?"
