Chapter 789 Exchange Conditions

g’er!” Qian Sichin tightly embraced Xiao Yu Ge in his arms. The feeling of finding what he had lost made him let out a long sigh of relief. Just now, he did think about saving Xiao Yu Fu, but at the l...Xiao Yuge was rather impressed with her. She hadn't expected that someone who was usually so carefree could be so thoughtful and insightful in her analysis.

"Well, did I tell you right" Seeing her silence, Mu Huan pouted: "I knew that dog, oh no, that prince wasn't simple. He looks cold to everyone, but his mind is more than a sieve. Be careful, don't be eaten dry by him."

Xiao Yuge chuckled softly, shaking her head. She didn't intend to explain, after all, she knew Qian Tingxuan better than anyone. He was as cunning as a fox. So, she changed the subject: "Where are you taking me"

"Let's go to Jinyulu, I heard they have a lot of new dishes. We haven't gotten together in ages, and we just happened to bump into each other today, so let's catch up properly." Mu Huan pulled her towards Jinyulu without any hesitation.

Although Xiao Yu Ge found her strange, she didn't think much of it. However, the moment she entered the private room and saw Feng Wu Ji, she finally understood.

"Fifth Princess, it seems you've learned to lie as well," Xiao Yuge frowned slightly. To be honest, she wasn't particularly eager to see Feng Wuji right now.

"Xiao Yu Ge, I'm so sorry. There was nothing I could do. Prince Regent said that as long as I brought you here, he would agree to stay and be our wedding witness for me and Brother Chengzong. For my love, please don't be angry with me, okay" Mu Huan rubbed her hands together, looking innocent.

"I owe you." Xiao Yuge sighed and walked in with a helpless expression.

"Regent Uncle, Xiao Yuge, Chengzong brother is here to pick me up. I'm leaving first." And Muhuan, after receiving Feng Wujie's hint, hurriedly took the opportunity to slip away.

Xiao Yu Ge saw through the meaning but chose not to speak, silently settling down and waiting for the next words.

“Here you go, Ge'er. I asked Mu Huan to prepare some of your favorite dishes. Try them.” Just like any doting father would please his daughter, Feng Wujie had a full table laden with food. Then, he hastily put a spoonful of food into Xiao Yuge’s bowl.

“Thank you!” To be honest, Xiao Yuge didn’t know how to face him. She knew he was her father, and he knew she was his biological daughter, but they just refused to acknowledge each other, so this identity was quite awkward.

“I don’t know what kind of tea you like to drink usually, so I ordered some floral teas for you to try…” The esteemed regent, at this moment, was just like every other father, carefully trying to please his daughter.

“Thank you, I can do it myself.” Xiao Yuge was still a bit used to him doing this. She quickly took the teapot from his hand, poured herself a cup, and also poured one for him. Then she sipped her lips: “Your Highness, I wonder why you called me out today”

Seeing her so estranged from herself, Feng Wuji's eyes couldn't hide their melancholy: "Ge'er, do you truly dislike your father this much" The more he understood about her past, the more heartbroken he became. He constantly blamed himself for not finding her sooner. If he had found her earlier, perhaps she wouldn't have suffered so much.

"No, Your Highness, I..." Xiao Yuge saw the disappointment in his eyes, and at that moment her heart softened: "I'm just not used to it..."

Seeing that she wasn't truly displeased with him, Feng Wuji finally let out a sigh of relief and switched to his old fatherly mode of care: "Ge'er, your body hasn't fully recovered yet. How can you wander outside so easily I inquired, and resting insufficiently can lead to lasting health problems."

Xiao Yu sang and said, "I am a martial artist, my body is naturally not so delicate..."

"Although that's true, you still need to be careful. You should get a good night's rest. By the way, I've looked into everything about you from childhood to present. When you were young, you didn't have martial arts. How did you come to have them later" Feng Wuji just finished speaking when he suddenly thought of something, his face changing drastically: "Did you use the secret art of Qianjigong"

Seeing her composed expression, Feng Wuji couldn't believe it. That kind of agonizing pain, bone-wrenching and soul-shattering, she was still a child, how could she have endured it But her nonchalant expression would lead people astray, making them think everyone could do the same.

As a skilled practitioner himself, he knew all too well that the secret arts of Qianji Pavilion were not easily mastered. Even a grown man could find them difficult to withstand, let alone a young girl of fifteen or sixteen. What kind of willpower did she possess to achieve this

"The lord actually knows about the Thousand Machine Pavilion! He truly is all-knowing!" Xiao Yuge knew that the Thousand Machine Pavilion spread throughout the three kingdoms, but she didn't expect that even Feng Wuji, the esteemed regent king, would know about it.

Although I am no longer in the Jianghu, I spent my youth there, so these matters are nothing unfamiliar to me. Ge'er, why do you so desire martial arts Feng Wuji still couldn't regain his composure from the pain she had endured.

Xiao Yu Ge heard this, she was first stunned, then lowered her eyes and smiled faintly: "Perhaps it's because I want to live a good life." If she didn't have martial arts, how could she have lived until now

"Poor child, you've been through so much. From now on, with your father here, no one will ever bully you again." That dejected bow made Feng Wuji feel a pang of sympathy. He vowed to protect his daughter well.

Xiao Yu's song still only gave a faint smile: "I can protect myself now, and I have people protecting me."

"My dear, are you truly not going to acknowledge your father" Feng Wuji furrowed his brows. No matter how he tried to persuade her, she refused to acknowledge him. What else could he do

"My lord, some things that are not done do not mean they don't exist. Doing something doesn't always guarantee a happy ending, wouldn't you agree" Whether she acknowledged it or not, he was still her father, a truth that would never change.

“My dear, the royal family of Lan Zhao is far more intricate than you imagine. Qian Ting Xuan may love you dearly, but he will one day be unable to protect you. Listen to your father! Return to Tianzhu with your father. I assure you, I will make you the most honorable person in the world!”

Xiao Yuge still shook her head: "Your Highness, I understand your meaning. According to what you say, Mu Cang and I should be considered cousins. How could we disregard human relations and force ourselves together"

"Little songbird, you misunderstood. My relationship with the emperor of Tianzhu is not one of brotherhood. This is a secret known only to us. That's why people mistakenly believe we are related. You can marry Mu Cang."

But I don't love him! Those words blocked Feng Wuji back again.

Seeing her determination not to acknowledge him, Feng Wuji pursed his lips, tightened his hand on the table, and after a long silence, said, "Ge'er, I know you want to save Qian Tingxuan. If you agree to return to Tianzhu with your father, I will give the Youlan Flower to Qian Tingxuan!"

"What did you say" Xiao Yuge didn't expect him to use this as a condition.

“The orchid was your mother’s favorite flower, and it symbolized her status. I have always cultivated it in the Heavenly Jewel Palace and forbidden anyone from approaching it. But if it could bring back my daughter, I am willing!” This was Feng Wuji’s last resort. He didn’t want to pressure her, but he had to. He couldn’t leave her here alone.

"Are you really willing to give the Orchid to Qian Tingxuan"e two protectors, sent any news" To be honest, Xiao Yuge really didn't want to be the master of this Frost Snow Tower. This Thunder Pavilion wasn't a good group of people either. Mixing with such peo...
