“Depart from this place before I become entangled with the Xu Family, for their sake as well! If that were to happen, the Xu Family would face grave consequences!” Gu Chaoyan exhibited a visible aversion to any association with the Xu Family.

Evidently, the actions of the Xu family had deeply angered her.

The Xu family’s methods aligned with the customs of all families in Jinwei Land.

In this moment, many individuals found themselves feeling sympathetic toward the Xu family.

After all, it was the Xu family’s eccentric sutra that had instigated this tumultuous chain of events.

Xu Yuanlong let out a heavy sigh. He knew that Xunnan’s future appeared grim. Her fate held little promise of a peaceful death after committing such a grave offense. Jinwei Land was likely to condemn her to a gruesome end.

She was still his daughter. The thought of her suffering in such a manner pained him deeply.

Yet, regardless of what he said, she remained unyielding, even placing blame on the Xu family.

It seemed futile.

Just as Xu Yuanlong grappled with his inner turmoil, a servant from the Xu family approached him, whispering softly, “Master, the emperor has summoned you to the palace.”

Xu Yuanlong’s countenance shifted subtly.

He gazed at the familiar face atop the pagoda, his daughter, his own flesh and blood.

However…

It appeared that he could no longer shield her.

He offered a slight nod, then shifted his gaze away, turning to depart completely.

Observing Xu Yuanlong’s departure, Gu Chaoyan felt a sense of relief.

She looked at the governess beside her and proceeded to give her instructions on how to manage the situation with those present.

Xu Yuanlong hastened to enter the palace.

The Emperor had evidently summoned him at this critical juncture to address the matter concerning Xu Xunnan.

Xu Yuanlong was acutely aware of his responsibilities.

While Xu Xunnan was indeed his daughter, the Xu family constituted a large and extensive clan. His own children numbered several, and that was just one branch of the family. When one considered the entire Xu family clan, including the numerous household servants, the population swelled to hundreds.

He could not allow these individuals to perish on account of Xu Xunnan’s actions.

From the beginning to the present, he had done his utmost to guide and discipline Xu Xunnan. However, she displayed no remorse for her deeds, harboring resentment toward the Xu family.

Now, in the Imperial Palace, he had no choice but to relinquish Xu Xunnan before the Emperor.

By forfeiting Xu Xunnan, he could safeguard the lives of the entire Xu family.

Xu Yuanlong had resolved his course of action, and his gaze radiated determination.

“Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live Your Majesty,” Xu Yuanlong prostrated and bowed, his trepidation evident.

The Emperor of Jinwei Land refrained from instructing him to rise. Instead, she preferred to keep him kneeling.

As she regarded Xu Yuanlong, who remained in a prostrate position, the Emperor of Jinwei Land couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming anger. Many of the issues that had arisen in Jinwei Land could be traced back to his daughter.

Irrespective of any other factors, he had failed in his duty.

“Numerous significant events have transpired today, all of which seem to be connected to your daughter. Xu Yuanlong, do you comprehend why I have summoned you to the palace?” The Emperor of Jinwei Land seethed with anger.

Xu Yuanlong prostrated even more fervently, to the point where the sound of his repeated kowtows resonated far and wide.

Xu Yuanlong shouted with fervor, “Your Majesty! It is my daughter who is responsible for this situation. I failed in disciplining my daughter effectively. In the past, I should have taken immediate action and had this disobedient daughter eliminated. She even attempted to learn from the governess!”

“By the time I recognized the gravity of the situation, it was already too late. No one within the Xu family possessed the capability to apprehend her.”

“The entire fault lies with me..
