As expected, the next sentence was Lord Chu saying,
"I'm telling you all this because I want you to know that my daughter Yanran can no longer bear another deception.
Years ago, she was calculated against because of my longstanding grudge and her cultivation method went haywire, turning her into her present state.
So, whether you are sincere or not, don't let Yanran find out.
Otherwise, I'll make you understand that living is a pain."
Lord Chu struck Duan Hong with his stick, knocking him out, but didn't forget to give him a sweet date.
"Of course, if you can make Yanran happy for the rest of her life, then you will truly be my, Chu Tianxing's, son-in-law, and the only son-in-law."
Duan Hong bitterly smiled: "Dad, whether you believe it or not, my feelings for Yanran have always been real, time will prove it.
But is Yanran's situation really irreversible? Since there's a secret technique to suppress it, there should be a way to recover too."
