44: Two pieces of bad news in just one day!

"Father, this is the twenty-first time you've used this excuse to deceive me..."

Upon hearing Murong Fu's words, Murong Qingxue slightly turned her head, tears streaming down her face.

"In the past, I willingly fell for it every time because I couldn't bear to leave and couldn't part with you."

"But this time... Murong Qingxue truly doesn't want to be deceived by Father anymore."

With that, Murong Qingxue closed her eyes in pain, as if the Abyss had swallowed this world.

In the past few years.

Murong Fu used similar excuses to comfort her many times, and afterwards, he did indeed find various 'skilled individuals' for her, but each treatment ended in failure.

And she.

Each time, she endured the psychological gap from being full of hope to finally despairing and giving up.

Even during this process.

She had to endure the astonished gazes of outsiders, as if they were looking at a monster.

This kind of pain...

Besides herself, no one else understood it at all.

She... truly didn't want to experience it anymore.

"Murong Qingxue, this time Father truly isn't deceiving you. Father has genuinely found a remarkable person, and he can definitely cure you."

"Will you please just hold on for three more days?"

Looking at Murong Qingxue's heartbroken appearance, Murong Fu endured the heartache and continued hoarsely.

"If he truly can't cure you after three days, and you wish to leave then, Father will allow it..."

The last few words.

Murong Fu used all his strength to utter these simple words.

After speaking, he felt as if his entire soul had been cruelly torn to shreds.

The greatest pain in the world.

Is none other than a white-haired person sending off a black-haired person, and even watching the other party leave.

Unless one is cold-blooded and lacks familial affection, this feeling is no different from being slowly tortured.

"Thank you, Father..."

Upon hearing this, Murong Qingxue slightly opened her eyes, looked deeply at Murong Fu, and then closed them again, as if wanting to remember Murong Fu's appearance forever.

"Then you rest well first, and Father will go find that expert..."

After saying this to Murong Qingxue, Murong Fu tucked her in and walked out of the room with heavy steps.

Three days.

He could only accompany his daughter for just three more days. How cruel was this for a Father!

After closing the door for Murong Qingxue, Murong Fu leaned against the door, feeling as if the entire world had turned dark.

"Cough cough cough... Is Little Xue alright?"

Just at this moment.

As an old voice sounded, an old, white-haired man, sitting in a wheelchair, was pushed over.

The wrinkles on his face were like ravines, and a decaying aura permeated his body, making him look like a dying person.

This person was Murong Fu's Father, the former City Lord of Tiandu City, Murong Bo.

"Father..."

Seeing Murong Bo, Murong Fu immediately straightened his body, and the despair on his face quickly receded.

"Xue'er is fine, she just had a moment of feeling down. After being comforted by this child, she is now resting in the room."

After hesitating for a moment, Murong Fu ultimately did not tell the truth and concealed what had just happened.

"That's good..."

Murong Bo nodded upon hearing this, his gaze looking kindly into the room, then he raised his head and said hoarsely.

"Prepare for my funeral. I'm afraid I won't make it through three days..."

Boom!!

Hearing Murong Bo's words, Murong Fu's body trembled violently, and his mind felt like it was roaring.

Although he was mentally prepared, upon hearing this news at this moment.

He still found it somewhat difficult to accept.

Two pieces of bad news in just one day!

Even though Murong Fu was a powerhouse at the Ninth Level of the Nirvana Realm, he felt dizzy and disoriented at this instant.

Two of his closest blood relatives would pass away in the next few days.

What a blow this was to him!

Truly, when the roof leaks, it happens during a continuous rain; misfortune always finds the unfortunate!

How much virtue did he, Murong Fu, lack in his previous life for that thieving old Heaven to be so cruel to him in this life!

"This child... understands."

After closing his eyes in pain, Murong Fu finally uttered these words.

The greatest sorrow... is a heart that has died!

Perhaps this sentence was the portrayal of Murong Fu at this moment.

"City Lord, someone has taken down the notice in the central square and is now waiting outside the City Lord's Mansion!"

Just as Murong Fu's body swayed and he was about to fall.

A soldier hurried over to report.

"What?!!"

This sentence was not very loud.

But falling into Murong Fu's ears, it was like the striking of a drum and bell, causing him to suddenly raise his head.

"Who is it?!"

"Could it be a medical master from the Great Qian Dynasty, or a master of alchemy from the Great Qian Dynasty?!"

As a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes, Murong Fu's voice was somewhat hurried.

As he spoke, he even rushed to the soldier's front, his hands suddenly gripping the other's shoulders.

At this time.

He was like a desperate person who had fallen into the Abyss, grasping the last life-saving rope before death.

His agitated and trembling appearance startled the soldier.

"They... are not..."

Feeling the hands on his shoulders that could crush him at any moment, the soldier replied with a trembling voice.

"It's a handsome young man in black and a red-clothed woman with a veil covering her face."

"They said they have absolute confidence that they can cure the Old City Lord and asked us to bring them here."

"Absolute confidence?!"

Upon hearing the soldier say this, the excitement on Murong Fu's face instantly turned as dark as water.

In the past, there were also people who dared to claim they had absolute confidence, but they turned out to be swindlingCharlatan, and these people were all crippled and thrown into the dungeon by him in the end.

Now a young man and a woman dare to make such a arrogant guarantee.

"Another pair of young people who don't know the immensity of Heaven and Earth... cough cough cough..."

Murong Bo, who was behind, heard the conversation between the two and immediately waved his hand, saying somewhat dispiritedly.

"Send them away. This Old man doesn't want to bother any more..."

In his half-dead state, he wouldn't live beyond these three days at most.

Even a Heaven Rank medical master would find it difficult to alleviate his condition, let alone forcibly extend his life.

Unless it was a legendary Saint Realm medical expert, there might still be hope for his body to recover.

But Saint Realm powerhouses are mysterious existences that are rarely seen, and this young man and woman clearly couldn't be that.

"Father, how about... just meet them."

After a moment of silence.

Murong Fu's expression gradually calmed down, and he turned around, requesting in a low voice.

Although he no longer saw hope, Murong Fu still wanted to give it a try.

Perhaps... a miracle might happen.

A person's greatest despair is not seeing any hope, but rather losing hope in oneself.

Because without hope, the world will be completely dark.

Just like his daughter and his Father, this was the case.

And he, as a Father and a son, was truly unwilling to give up!

"Since you are unwilling to give up... cough cough... then this Old body... will accompany you to bother a little more... cough cough cough..."

Seeing Murong Fu's pleading eyes.

As if thinking of Murong Qingxue in the room, Murong Bo also changed his mind at this moment.

"Thank you, Father..."

Upon hearing this, Murong Fu bowed to Murong Bo, then turned around and looked at the soldier.

He instructed in a low voice.

"First, take them to the main hall. The Old City Lord and I will arrive shortly."
