Upon hearing Nie Li's words, Ye Zong's face turned pale.
It was one thing for Nie Li to speak ill of him in his absence, but to lure the innocent Zi Yun was simply outrageous! If it weren't for the necessity of having Nie Li assist with setting up the Ten Thousand Demon Spirit Formation, he would have already confronted Nie Li and thoroughly taught him a lesson.
Ye Zi Yun's expression dimmed slightly as she spoke to Nie Li: "Nie Li, please don’t misunderstand my father. He is actually a good person who wants to spend more time with me. But he is the City Lord of Glory City, shouldering the lives and deaths of so many people. He can’t afford to slack off for even a moment. Although he doesn’t have much time to be with me, he remains the person I respect and admire the most. I just regret that my strength is still too weak to help him bear his burdens…"
Listening to Ye Zi Yun's words, Ye Zong, hidden in the shadows, fell into a long silence.
His nose tinged with a hint of bitterness.
Before his daughter, he had always been a strict father.
He understood that he had fallen short in many ways, feeling a deep sense of guilt towards Ye Zi Yun.
Hearing her speak her true feelings, he felt a turmoil in his heart.
This was the true thought within Yun'er.
