The next day, Qu Qingyan left the space as usual. He did not see the figure of Xiaoyaer in his mind and had no idea where he had gone.

After she finished washing up, the palace maids and eunuchs had already placed the meals on the table, all of which were her favorite dishes.

Walking to the table and just sitting down, a figure as elegant as a bamboo came over with a smile, "Yan'er is getting up very early now, and he doesn't even sleep in."

"Dad." Qu Qingyan saw him coming and stood up to greet him with a smile, "Did you stay up all night again last night?"

"How did Yan'er know that?" Qu Honglin sat beside her, glanced at the food on the table, and picked up a plate of red plum and snow sea bass, "Serve another portion without the shredded ginger."

The palace maid who was serving on the scene bowed and took it, apologized, and left.

Qu Qingyan felt warm at heart when she saw that her father knew her preferences so well.

As expected, in this world, the man who loves her the most is her biological father.

What a bastard, she was blind in her previous life.

"Dad, you are already over thirty years old. If you don't take good care of yourself, your looks, which are so popular among the young ladies in Beijing, will be ruined." Qu Qingyan joked with a smile.

Qu Honglin smiled helplessly, "You, my child, have already reached the age of marriage, and your father is also old."

Having said this, he couldn't help but think of another thing.

My daughter is grown up and will get married sooner or later.

Qu Honglin was not afraid of anything else, he was just worried that his daughter would meet the wrong person.

Thinking back to the fortune that the old man from Tianshan had told his daughter, he became worried again.

"Dad, I was just saying that. You are in your prime, not old at all." Qu Qingyan picked up a piece of duck and put it into his bowl.

Her father is only in his thirties, and in modern times where Qu Xinzhu lives, some people are still unmarried.

It’s just that in their era, girls got married when they reached the age of 15, and boys also got married early, and everything was focused on having offspring.

Qu Honglin felt much better as he ate the food his daughter picked for him.

The estrangement between the father and daughter had long since disappeared. The scene of the father being loving and the daughter being filial was the wish he had longed for, and it finally came true.

"I have already done what Yan'er said last night. There are many strange things about Wu Xinkui, so I need to investigate it in detail." Qu Honglin served a bowl of white jade emerald soup and placed it in front of his daughter to relieve her greasiness.

Before Qu Qingyan could reply, he heard a hurried voice in his mind, "Quick! Host, this is a good opportunity, ask your father to release Wu Xinkui, otherwise you will be punished by the system."

As soon as he said this, Qu Qingyan's face showed a hint of sarcasm, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's not time yet."

The handsome man next to him paused in his action of picking up food, clenched the chopsticks in his hand tightly, and a deep chill flashed in his eyes.

[But host, if you complete the task sooner, you can get points sooner. Besides, we can also trigger the next task sooner.] Xiaoyaer was very anxious. If the host didn't complete the task quickly, he wouldn't be able to replenish his energy, and therefore he would be at risk of being exposed to the Heavenly Dao.

Qu Qingyan still looked indifferent, "I don't want to let Wu Xinkui go for the time being. I have to make him suffer so that I can calm down."

[Host, why are you doing this? You know that Wu Xinkui is the son of luck and you can't kill him. Even if you torture him, he will recover soon. Isn't it unnecessary?] Xiaoyaer's words were full of impatience.

Qu Qingyan heard something else, "What do you mean by that?"

[It was your father who… he actually gouged out Wu Xinkui’s eyeballs alive. This has deviated from the plot and will be discovered by the Heavenly Dao sooner or later. By then, I… we will be finished.] When the little one said this, he glanced at the man beside him in fear. Although he knew that he couldn’t see him, he still felt a little chilly.

Hearing this, Qu Qingyan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Yan'er, have you thought of anything interesting?" The handsome man restrained his emotions, glanced at the void beside him, and then looked at his daughter with loving eyes.

Qu Qingyan had a smile on his face, but his words were frightening, "Dad, that Wu Xinkui dared to offend you again and again, you must not let him off easily. But he is the leader of the martial arts world after all, he must know a lot of martial arts secrets, you should torture him and force a confession, you may get useful information."

[Host, are you deliberately going against me? Do you know that the consequences are serious?] Upon hearing this, Xiaoyaer threatened.

"That's what my father was thinking. The bigger the Jianghu becomes, the greater the threat it poses to the court. Your Majesty has long intended to eradicate it. I, your father, will take this opportunity to wipe out the Jianghu in one fell swoop." Qu Honglin suppressed his inner emotions, lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the murderous intent in his eyes.

Qu Qingyan looked at his father who was so capable of planning and decisive in killing, and his eyes became slightly moist.

This is her father!

Her father shouldn't have to beg others humbly. He should be high above everyone else, looking down on everything in the world.

"Dad, if your daughter is not by your side in the future, you must take good care of yourself." She didn't know if she would still be alive after disobeying the system. She only knew that she couldn't become a puppet of the system, otherwise not only she, but also her father would be doomed.

As long as she doesn't do what the system says, the plot will go off track. In this way, her father may be able to escape.

In her previous life, her father would give everything for her, even at the cost of his own life.

In this life, as a child, you can also sacrifice your life to fulfill your filial duty.

"Don't talk nonsense, Yan'er. As long as your father is here, I will never let anyone hurt you." Qu Honglin's face darkened instantly, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. He stood up and waved his long sleeves, and heard the little boy's cry of pain beside him.

[How is this possible? How can a mere mortal like him hurt me? ]

Qu Qingyan was also shocked by this scene. He looked at the boy floating beside him in surprise. He saw that his face was distorted with pain and his facial features were twisted, which showed that he was seriously injured.

"Yan'er, eat well. Your father has important matters to attend to." Qu Honglin clenched his hanging hands, then slowly opened them, and finally he turned and left.

The little boy, who was in unbearable pain, had to use his remaining strength to eliminate the pain.

When Qu Qingyan saw that nothing happened, he felt a little disappointed.

[Host, who is your father? How could he hurt others?] Thinking of the severe pain just now, the little boy couldn't help but tremble slightly again.

"You ask even though you already know the answer." Although Qu Qingyan didn't understand, he suppressed his doubts deep in his heart.

Xiao Yaer was busy searching the plot and checked Qu Honglin's personality and background, but he could only conclude that he was a villain and a treacherous person, and he had no way to find out more.

[Host, just tell them. It might help our mission.]
