440: Chapter 440 Father and Daughter Meet

Chapter 440: Father and Daughter Meet

He couldn't quite understand who wanted to see him.

He was certain it wasn't the Moon Shadow Demon Sect.

There was no need for them to release him only to recapture him.

But besides his entanglement with the Moon Shadow Demon Sect, he only had ties to the Su Family.

Could it be that someone from the Su Family had come to rescue him?

He found it hard to believe.

He had been away from the Su Family for over a thousand years.

He was no longer the young prodigy he once was, nor the arrogant Su Fan.

Would the Su Family go to such great lengths for him?

Huu~~

He let out a long breath, suppressing the doubt in his heart, and walked towards the main hall.

No matter who it was, he couldn't escape them.

Creak~~

The door opened in response.

But he instantly froze, his pupils dilating rapidly.

Even his body began to tremble.

Inside the hall were four or five people, but his eyes only saw that one familiar figure.

His fingers gripped the doorframe tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.

His gaze was fixed on Su Yue, his Adam's apple bobbing violently, as if a thousand words were stuck in his throat, yet he couldn't utter a single one.

Over two hundred years had etched deep wrinkles on his face, but at this moment, they twisted into a knot of shock.

Complex emotions surged in his eyes: wild joy, pain, and a hint of disbelief.

“Yi... Yixue....”

His voice was hoarse as if abraded by sandpaper, and the end of his words trembled out of tune.

He stumbled half a step forward, then abruptly stopped, as if the person before him was not the one he thought of day and night, but a scorching flame that would burn him if he touched it.

His right hand lifted, hovering in mid-air, trembling slightly, wanting to touch but not daring to; in the end, he could only clench it tightly into a fist, his fingernails almost digging into his palm.

“Oh, Father, you’ve mistaken me again. I’m Su Yue, not Mother!”

Su Yue watched Su Fan stumble into the room, a surge of bitterness in her heart.

The excitement and joy she had initially felt vanished without a trace.

She simply couldn't be happy.

After more than two hundred years, her father had actually mistaken her again.

How much did she resemble her mother?

Also, since Father had been in the Moon Shadow Demon Sect for so many years, hadn't he seen Mother? Why was he still like this?

At this moment, she even began to doubt whether Su Fan's love for her in the past was merely an extension of his love for her mother.

However, as a daughter, she still helped him inside.

After more than two hundred years apart, he had aged even more and become much weaker.

She could sense the unstable aura within her father's body.

He must have suffered a lot of torment in the Moon Shadow Demon Sect.

“Ah! Yue... Yue’er, I’m... I’m sorry, why... why are you here?”

Su Fan was stunned for a moment at her words.

It was only when Su Yue helped him that he slowly came back to his senses.

He looked closely and confirmed he had made a mistake.

He simply couldn't imagine how his daughter could appear here!

A small plane, without even an immortal for tens of thousands of years, how could...

That's why he immediately thought he had seen his longed-for wife.

He thought his wife had come to see him one last time.

It was truly... they were like exact replicas.

He stammered an apology, looking somewhat disheveled.

“Father… never mind, you are so consumed by your longing for Mother, I don’t blame you!”

Su Yue wanted to say something, but seeing Su Fan’s dim eyes, she swallowed the words she wanted to say.

As a child, one should be more understanding.

Doesn't this also show Father's deep love for Mother?

However, looking at Su Li, who was slightly nervous behind her, she still showed a smile on her face, then moved aside and continued to Su Fan:

“Father, it’s not just me who came to see you today. I also brought my younger sister, Xiao Li. She misses you very much too!”

To avoid any mishaps, she deliberately emphasized the words “younger sister.”

Her father could mistake her, so she was really afraid that he wouldn't recognize Su Li and say something that would make the atmosphere even more awkward.

Su Li looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face before her, and her mother's image involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

Her mother had no cultivation aptitude, she was just a mortal, yet she gave her life's love to one man, and until her death, she worried about this so-called father before her.

Suddenly, a bitter feeling rose in her heart.

A bitterness for her mother's undeserved fate.

Father clearly loved other women with such devotion, so why did he bother her mother?

And since he bothered her, why did he abandon her?

Her nose stung, and tears almost flowed down, her fingers unconsciously clutching Su Yue's sleeve.

“Xiao Li! What Xiao Li? Your mother and I only have one child, you!”

Su Fan seemed to have no sense of what was happening.

His thoughts instinctively blurted out, his eyes very clear!

He still felt a bit abrupt; in his mind, he only had Su Yixue as his one and only wife.

However.

His words were like a sharp sword instantly piercing Su Li’s already fragile heart.

Her entire face instantly turned pale, and she stumbled, almost losing her footing and falling directly to the ground.

The man her mother loved her entire life, the father she had longed for for two hundred years, actually... actually didn't recognize her...

How ironic, how unfair!

Tears could no longer be held back and flowed down.

Her haggard appearance was incredibly heartbreaking to behold.

Su Yue was quick, pulling Su Li directly into her embrace, her face filled with heartache.

As for Su Fan, her only remaining understanding for him instantly vanished.

She had already given him a hint, yet Su Fan didn't even think and directly said such hurtful words.

If he had just thought for a moment, he would have remembered.

Didn't he know how many women he had been with?

If she were to switch places with Su Li, at this moment, let alone acknowledging him as her father, she might even have thoughts of killing him with her own hands.

In the corner of the hall.

Lin Yu's expression was also unusually grim at this moment.

Su Li had loved staying in the mortal world since she was young, having witnessed countless joys and sorrows, so her state of mind was already very firm.

This was the first time he had seen Su Li so heartbroken.

Her tear-stained face, like pear blossoms touched by rain, made his heart ache endlessly.

It was imaginable to what extent Su Fan's single sentence had wounded Su Li.

If it weren't for the other party's identity, he would have gone up and punched him directly.

However, at this moment, he no longer had any desire to watch the show and wanted to bring Su Li to his side to comfort her.

But.

Just as he was about to get up, he noticed that Nolan beside him was also acting strangely.

Her usually delicate body was now rigid in the chair, her eyes red.

As if she had been crying intensely.

Chu Xuan was startled.

He knew that Nolan could only cry once in her life, and that time had been for him.

Now, her situation was no different from Su Li, who was washing her face with tears.

“Lan’er, what... what’s wrong with you?”

Lin Yu asked with a hint of urgency.

He could understand Su Li's heartbreak, but what was wrong with Nolan?
