Two months later...

Hua Qianye emerged lazily from the ring, tossed a white porcelain bottle to Han Wuxie, and said indifferently, "Three."

Han Wuxie carefully placed the bottle into the small cloth bag slung across his shoulder.

"Have you already discussed it with your family?" Hua Qianye asked, squinting.

"I told them, and they were very happy, but also very reluctant to part. Tomorrow morning, I will set off with my two younger brothers."

"Then..." Hua Qianye hesitated, then continued after a long while, "Are you sure you don't want to look for your father? After all, this time he descended to the mortal realm, he might never be able to come back."

Han Wuxie lowered his eyes, lost in thought...

After leaving the Tian family with her mother, she thought that her father would follow the wishes of the Tian family head, take a concubine and have children to continue the family line.

To her surprise, after her mother brought her and her younger brother back to the Han family, her father suddenly disappeared, and she hadn't seen him for five years.

All I heard was that when he left the Tian family, he left a note saying that he was going to find the longevity elixir for the Tian family head, and that he would not return to the Tian family if he could not find it.

Five whole years have passed, and no one on the Immortal Realm has seen Father again. The Tian family has searched for him without finding any clues.

I remember passing by my mother's room once, two years ago.

My great-uncle and mother were talking in the room, but I couldn't hear them clearly. I wanted to leave, but Hua Qianye said that their conversation might be interesting to me. Hua Qianye used magic to make me hear their conversation clearly.

My maternal uncle told my mother that my father had deliberately left the imperial family.

According to my uncle's speculation, the real reason why my father wrote a letter of divorce back then was because my father felt that he was not capable enough to protect my mother and children. He also suspected that the head of the Tian family might be faking illness, and he felt that this matter was not simple. He thought that if the head of the Tian family would pretend to be sick to deceive his son, he would do anything to make him take a concubine.

If Tianfeng doesn't take a concubine, the Tian family will likely blame Hanrou for all the sins he has committed by not taking a concubine and not continuing the family line.

Han Rou could be murdered at any time. Given Tian Feng's age, although his strength as a Xuanxian is not bad, he is not invincible in the Tian family, and he is just a Xuanxian in the Immortal Realm. He has no ability to protect anything or resist anything.

In the eyes of the Tian family, if Tianfeng refuses to marry, then Hanrou must die!

Only after Han Rou dies will Tian Feng remarry. The woman they arranged for Tian Feng is surnamed Cheng, and she is the daughter of the Cheng family. The Tian family wants to use Tian Feng to establish a relationship with the Cheng family.

The Cheng family's strength was comparable to the Han family's, but the Han family had fallen out with the Tian family because the Tian family treated the good-for-nothing children badly. They had no choice but to seek other protection, so they had to do whatever it took. Since they were already at odds with the Han family, they didn't need to worry about the Han family's intimidation. Their most ruthless plan was to kill Han Rou and those two good-for-nothing children as well! This would wipe out their shame. For the Tian family, the continuous birth of good-for-nothings from the Tian family was an absolute disgrace.

Tianfeng had already guessed that this would happen, and his parents had made it very clear that if he didn't become the head of the family, he would face his brothers' suspicion and attempts to harm him. The only way out was to leave the Tian family, taking his children and wife with him. But he knew better than anyone else, and understood his brothers better than anyone else, that if another brother became the head of the family, no matter how far he fled, he wouldn't escape the Tian family's watchful eye, nor would the brother who became the head of the family lower his guard. Only his death could truly put their minds at ease, and they would inevitably send people to hunt him down. At that point, with his own strength, he wouldn't be able to protect himself, let alone his wife and children.

That's why he cruelly wrote the letter of divorce and said those words that broke Han Rou's heart: "Perhaps, as you said, I didn't love you deeply enough, I couldn't give up everything for you, and in the end I could only give you up."

Who could understand how reluctant he was to say those words against his will? Seeing the hurt in Han Rou's eyes, he longed to hold her in his arms and never let go again, but he couldn't!

He could only curse himself in his heart, wondering why he wasn't strong enough, why he was incompetent, and why he couldn't protect them.

Unable to protect them, he could only let go and send them back to the Han family. Only when they returned to the Han family would they be truly safe. If he didn't say these hurtful words, he knew in his heart that Han Rou would never leave. Only if he was ruthless would she be ruthless in return!

Does it mean I don't love her deeply? No, it's because I love her so deeply that I know that letting go and giving her freedom is the only way to protect her and the child!

Having given him a letter of divorce, he had no weakness, and no one in the Tian family could threaten him. He was determined not to remarry, so what could the Tian family do? Coincidentally, the head of the family needed a longevity elixir, so he used the pretext of searching for it, under the guise of filial piety, to leave the Tian family smoothly.

He knew in his heart that this father, whom he had trusted and respected for many years, had chosen to deceive his son in the face of interests and his son, and had chosen to climb up the Cheng family and use him as a tool. Since his father was not kind, why should he be filial?

After leaving the Tian family, Tianfeng didn't actually search for any longevity elixir. He went into hiding, knowing that his wife and children would be safe. Now, the Tian family's only target was him. If he stayed far away, the Tian family would only try every means to find him and wouldn't bother his divorced wife anymore.

He was, after all, a man, and he hated himself for being so powerless, for being able to leave his wife and children and hide like a rat. But all he could do was try to distract them.

He found a place where no one would ever find him and secluded himself, all with the goal of becoming stronger!

Before he was able to protect his wife and children, his best choice was to sacrifice them so that they could be safe!

After his wife and children were safe, all he could do was improve his strength and become powerful! Until no one in this immortal realm could threaten him or his wife and children.

After hearing Wanlicang's words, Han Rou did nothing but cry.

She always blamed Tianfeng for not loving her deeply enough, but she never realized that she was the one who was loved. She hadn't considered anything for him at all. If she had thought more about it back then, she would have easily discovered that his words were false and that he had easily discovered the purpose behind his letter of divorce. Based on her understanding of him, why was she so foolish as to think that he would leave her and that he would really be willing to leave her?

Han Wuxie recalled hearing her mother's cries outside the door. Her eyes welled up with tears. She knew that her mother was suffering. She so desperately wanted to face the difficulties with her father, but her father used this method to make her mother give up on him first, and then left with the child. If it weren't for her uncle's intelligence and keen observation that exposed everything, her mother might have continued to hate her father.

Han Wuxie said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Of course I want to see Father, but the imperial family has been searching for five years without any clues. Later, Mother also sent people to search, but they couldn't find him at all. How could I possibly find him?"

Hua Qianye wanted to say that he could find it, but Han Wuxie seemed to have already guessed what he was going to say. Han Wuxie shook his head and said, "I know you might be able to find it, but... never mind!"

"Why? Don't you want to see me?" Hua Qianye was a little confused.

"I want to see him, of course I want to see him! But what good would it do? It would only make me more reluctant to part. Since I've decided to go to the mortal realm, I should be more carefree! I know Father is protecting us in his own way, and he must be working hard to become stronger somewhere. Since Father has his plans, why should I disturb him? Besides, there have been quite a few experts outside the Han family these days. I suspect they were sent by the Tian family to see if we've made any contact with Father. If I go to find Father now, wouldn't that just be giving them a free pass?"

"If you don't cultivate a spiritual root this time you descend to the mortal realm, and you can't return to the immortal realm, you'll never see your father again!"

"So I absolutely cannot see him now! I must give myself a belief: because I miss my father and want to see him, after I descend to the mortal realm, I can only succeed, failure is not an option! I must make sure that when I see my father again, it will be completely different! I must let my father know that at that time, I can protect them and will never let anyone from the Heavenly Family harm them again!"

Looking at Han Wuxie's moist eyes, Hua Qianye felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

At first, he also thought that Han Wuxie's father would compromise with all the arrangements of the Tian family. In the past, he had even scolded Han Wuxie's father for being weak. Later, when he learned about all this and Tianfeng's good intentions, Hua Qianye completely changed his opinion. Perhaps this kind of man is a real man. No one is invincible from the beginning, but when he is willing to sacrifice for his wife and children and for the people he cherishes, and wants to become stronger, and wants to protect and safeguard, that has already proven his future strength!

Some people possess immense strength, yet their sole aim is to become the best in the world, or to prove their power and garner countless admirers and worshippers! That's laughable; no matter how strong they become, their hearts remain immature!

Becoming stronger is not for oneself, but to protect those one wants to protect. Only then is one's strength truly from the bottom of one's heart, and that is what makes one an invincible powerhouse!

Therefore, Han Wuxie's last words today revealed her desire to protect her father and those she cherishes. Her future is certainly destined to be one of true strength, for she possesses the heart of a true powerhouse! Hua Qianye has gradually come to believe that Han Wuxie will succeed, not only in returning to the Immortal Realm, but even if she does return in the future, she is destined to be extraordinary!

---Aside---

If our female protagonist previously wanted to get rid of the "useless" label and become stronger, now her mindset has changed drastically. She no longer just wants to prove herself, but her main purpose in becoming stronger is to protect her family. This represents a significant leap from her previous thought of only being able to protect her younger brother.

Perhaps her father was the starting point for her to change. When you keep misunderstanding someone, but then realize that it was all due to their own difficulties, your mindset will change dramatically. You will not only feel enlightened, but you will also experience a great improvement.

Friends who have never liked the female lead's father, after reading this chapter and seeing the revelation of Tianfeng's predicament, I hope you will come to like this foolish man. He could have easily gone to the Han family to hide with his wife and children, but instead, he used himself as bait to lure away all the danger in order to divert the Tian family's attention. I hope that when he reappears, he will be stronger and able to protect everything he wants to protect.
