Chu Feng looked outside. A figure was flying toward them from the distance.
Though the distance was great, Chu Feng recognized who it was at a single glance.
It was the ruler of the Dragon Clan — the Dragon Clan's Clan Chief.
The Dragon Clan's Clan Chief was heading straight for this palace.
He held a secret treasure in hand, easily breaking through the barrier and stepping into the palace.
Up close, Chu Feng could see the Dragon Clan Chief's expression more clearly.
Compared to before, when the Dragon Clan Chief looked at his precious daughter, the tenderness that once existed was gone.
His gaze held a touch of coldness, and a hint of conflict — and of course… there was some heartache too, though precious little of it.
If one had to sum it up in a single phrase, it was the look of a father who resented his child for not living up to expectations.
"Xiaoxiao, don't blame me."
"I'm doing this for your own good."
The Dragon Clan Chief said to Long Xiaoxiao.
But Long Xiaoxiao showed no response at all, as if she could not hear the Dragon Clan Chief's words.
"Xiaoxiao, you are also a member of our Dragon Clan."
"Surely you want to contribute something to the Dragon Clan?"
"I don't want you to marry Shengguang Jiahao either."
"Marrying him would be a humiliation for our Dragon Clan as well."
"But… you can't blame your father for that. If anyone is to blame, it's you. You could have married Shengguang Yu."
"If you had married Shengguang Yu, what an honor that would have been!"
"It was you — you yourself who insisted on destroying your own face."
"Destroying this glory of our Dragon Clan."
When the Dragon Clan Chief reached this point, Long Xiaoxiao finally reacted.
Boom— She suddenly stood up and looked at her father.
"Was it really me who destroyed it?"
Long Xiaoxiao glared viciously at the Dragon Clan Chief.
That ferocious look was nothing like what a daughter should have when gazing upon her father.
"You were there that day. You know how my face ended up like this. You know who did it."
"But what did you do? You just stood there and watched!!!"
Long Xiaoxiao clenched her teeth, her entire body trembling with rage. Even Chu Feng, as a bystander, could feel the depth of her hatred.
And these words made Chu Feng realize something.
So Long Xiaoxiao's face had not been destroyed by her own hand after all. Then… who had done it?
But whoever it was, they could not be forgiven.
Even without knowing the culprit, a violent fury was already surging within Chu Feng's heart.
The only way to quell such fury was to kill the one who had laid hands on Long Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao, but you brought it on yourself with your recklessness."
"You said such humiliating things about the Shengguang Clan, and even threatened them with self-disfigurement. A person of Grand Elder Yunyue's stature naturally could not tolerate that."
The Dragon Clan Chief said.
Hearing this, the fury inside Chu Feng burned even hotter.
Shengguang Yunyue — Chu Feng certainly knew this person.
That vicious old woman held the exalted title of Supreme Elder of the Shengguang Clan, yet she was ruthless and cruel.
She had harmed Chu Feng before.
And now, it turned out she was the one who had destroyed Long Xiaoxiao's beauty — and she had done so with such vicious cruelty.
