“I will do everything I can.”
After speaking, Tan Yun slowly closed his eyes, releasing his spiritual sense and gently guiding it into Shen Tianchi’s body.
Time passed little by little…
Tan Yun’s brows gradually tightened, his expression growing heavier with each moment. It was clear—the situation was far worse than expected.
After a while, he withdrew his spiritual sense and opened his eyes again. They were filled with helplessness… and guilt.
“Subing… I’m sorry. Even I… can’t save him.”
“Your father is simply too old. If I’m not mistaken, all these years he has relied on medicinal pills to extend his life.”
Tan Yun spoke the truth in a low, steady voice.
“His life force… has already been completely depleted. In his current state, his body can no longer withstand any medicine… *sigh*… you must accept reality.”
The moment she heard those words, Shen Subing’s body trembled.
She could not accept it.
In an instant, she broke down completely, pounding her fists against Tan Yun’s chest as she sobbed uncontrollably.
“Master… you’re lying, right? You can save my father… can’t you?”
“*Sob…* I don’t want him to die… Master, please… please save him…”
Shen Subing stared at him, tears of despair flowing endlessly, as if they could drown the heavens and earth.
“Master… my mother is already gone… the only family I have left… is my father…”
“I’m begging you… I’m begging you, please save him… please!”
Her helplessness and despair pierced straight into Tan Yun’s heart.
He opened his arms and pulled her into a tight embrace, whispering softly,
“Don’t be like this… your father has reached the end of his life. His body can’t hold on much longer… but right now, he can still hear your voice.”
“Don’t cry… be strong. Don’t let him leave with worries.”
Shen Subing trembled slightly in his arms before gradually calming down.
She pulled away, her voice still shaking.
“Master… is there a way to let my father regain consciousness? Even if it’s just for a moment… there’s something I want to tell him.”
Tan Yun looked at her with pity and nodded lightly.
“Yes. That won’t be a problem.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his right sleeve. A strand of spiritual energy shot into Shen Tianchi’s chest, heading straight for his heart.
Then, with another flick of his finger, more than **10** streams of spiritual energy surged into key acupoints across his body.
Only a few breaths later—
Shen Tianchi, who had been lying motionless, slowly opened his eyes.
A cloudy tear slid down his wrinkled cheek.
Just as Tan Yun had said—he had heard his daughter’s voice.
“Father…”
Shen Subing sat beside the bed, her slender hands trembling as she gently held her father’s face.
She didn’t want to cry in front of him…
But the tears she hated so much still fell, beyond her control.
Shen Tianchi struggled to move his gaze, finally fixing his eyes on Shen Subing. His voice trembled, weak and broken, as if each word might be his last breath.
“Ping’er… birth, aging, sickness, and death… are the laws of heaven and earth. No one can escape them…”
“I’ve managed to live long enough to see you grow up… I can die without regret now. All these years… I’ve missed your mother deeply… I’ve wanted to go be with her for a long time…”
“Now that I’ve seen you living well… I have no more worries…”
“My poor child… don’t be sad, don’t cry… your mother was ambitious. She insisted that you cultivate in the Huangfu Sect… you must have suffered all these years…”
“In truth… revenge was never my wish. I only wanted you to live a happy life…”
Seeing Shen Tianchi speak what were clearly his final words, Tan Yun let out a soft sigh. He turned and quietly left the room, closing the door behind him.
Inside the room—
“Father…” Shen Subing sobbed uncontrollably, her voice filled with confusion.
“Father, you always said that what happened back then wasn’t Tantai Xuanzhong’s fault… but the one who destroyed your spiritual pool was him! Why don’t you blame him? Why… I truly don’t understand!”
Shen Tianchi sighed, then slowly revealed the truth.
“My child… the Sect Master is actually my senior brother. He treated me like family… but back then, the evidence Gongsun Yangchun used to frame me was flawless. Everyone demanded that the Sect Master execute me…”
“But because of our past bond, he went against all opposition and chose to expel me instead…”
“And the reason I’ve been able to live until today… isn’t just because of the pills you gave me…”
“In truth, the Sect Master knew I was here. Every year, he sent me medicine, and he even came personally to visit, staying for days to talk with me… It’s just that, for your safety, I never told him that you are my daughter.”
Shen Tianchi’s voice carried a deep sense of complexity.
“Now… he also believes in my innocence and wants to eliminate Gongsun Yangchun. But you must understand—the struggle among the **9** lineages of the Huangfu Sect isn’t limited to the inner disciples or even the highest sacred faction…”
“Behind it all… there are ancient cultivators in seclusion. They are the ones who truly control the power dynamics of all **9** lineages.”
“If the Sect Master were to kill Gongsun Yangchun now, the consequences would spread far and wide… even his own position could be shaken.”
“That is why… I do not want you to blame him…”
After learning the full truth, the tears in Shen Subing’s beautiful eyes gradually turned into unwavering determination.
“Father, don’t worry! I now have a master!”
“One day… I will kill Gongsun Yangchun with my own hands and avenge you!”
“Do you know? I am now a meritorious elder of the Alchemy Line in the Immortal Sect!”
“I will rise step by step, until I become the head of the Alchemy Line of the Sacred Sect… and reclaim everything that belongs to you!”
“Father… I know these words may make you worry…” Her voice trembled.
“But please believe me—I will avenge you, no matter what!”
“You foolish child… you’re just like your mother…” Shen Tianchi smiled faintly, his cloudy eyes filled with longing for his late wife.
“Stubborn… and just as unyielding… What I worry about most now… is your future…”
“I want to see the day you find the right person… otherwise, with your personality, I fear that after you marry, you might be bullied…”
A father’s heart is always filled with love and concern.
Even at the very end of his life, what Shen Tianchi worried about… was still his daughter’s future.
Shen Subing sobbed softly.
“Father, don’t worry about me… I already have someone I like…”
Shen Tianchi’s eyes suddenly lit up—whether from excitement or the last flicker of life, it was hard to tell.
His once faint voice grew slightly stronger.
“Who? Where is he? Quickly… bring him to me!”
“Father… he is my master…” Shen Subing said through tears.
“I don’t even know what he truly looks like… but I respect him deeply… and this feeling… I’m not sure if it’s love or not…”
“You silly child… one day, you’ll understand,” Shen Tianchi said with a knowing smile.
“Go, call him in… I want to speak with him.”
“Mhm…” Shen Subing hesitated for a moment before adding,
“Father… I don’t know how he feels about me. I value my pride… you must not tell him that I’ve fallen for him…”
“Alright, I promise,” Shen Tianchi replied.
“I’ve been through such things before. I understand how you feel…”
He knew very well—
His proud and stubborn daughter… was afraid that her “Master” would not return her feelings.
