Furthermore, if the man before her was indeed her father, then he was the murderer of her mother! How could her mother be...
Moreover, if this man was her father, he would also be the one who killed her grandfather. How could her mother forget about the blood feud of killing her father and reunite with him?
Filled with confusion, Snow Shadow Celestial Master trembled as she spoke, "Mother, please don't deceive me. Is he really my father?"
"Yes, absolutely true." Xuan Yuan Rou smiled, and seeing the still skeptical look on Snow Shadow Celestial Master's face, she said, "Tan Yun, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and prove it."
"Alright." Tan Yun took a deep breath and softly said, "Golden Mercy, Muxin, you all come out."
"Yes, Master."
"Okay, Master."
"..."
With the sound of respectful voices, eleven Divine Swords of different attributes and the primordial chaos god-slaying sword flew out from the center of Tan Yun's brow, hovering in front of Snow Shadow Celestial Master.
Snow Shadow Celestial Master widened her beautiful eyes, "This sword is indeed my father's Divine Sword of Golden Mercy, and this one is called Huo Wu, and this one is called Qian Chen, while the rest are Annihilation!"
"Are you really my father?"
"Of course," Tan Yun smiled and said, "Daughter, if you don't believe it, look at this."
Tan Yun unleashed his Divine Power and condensed a memory image, which displayed scenes of him and her mother spending time together in the spirit clan's divine city.
After confirming that Tan Yun was indeed her father, Snow Shadow Celestial Master looked at him with tears brimming in her eyes. She did not call him "father," but instead looked at Xuan Yuan Rou and cried out, "Mother, he abandoned us for so many years and even killed Grandpa! How could you ever forgive him?"
"He made me feel the absence of a father's love during my childhood. He is so cruel, abandoning us while marrying the god king of time and space. Wuwu... I really can't understand why you would forgive him, Mother... Wuwu..."
Seeing Snow Shadow Celestial Master reduced to tears, Tan Yun did not explain; he just kept sincerely saying he was sorry.
The reason he didn’t explain was simple: he indeed was an incompetent father, not even knowing he had a daughter until his death.
No matter the reason, he had not fulfilled his responsibility as a father, and that was an unchangeable fact, so Tan Yun did not defend himself.
Undoubtedly, Tan Yun's actions were correct and manly!
"I'm sorry?" Snow Shadow Celestial Master cried, her fists clenched as she pounded Tan Yun's chest, "Do you think saying sorry can make up for my childhood?"
"Do you know? Growing up, I asked my mother countless times, 'Where is my father? Has he abandoned us?'"
"Every time, my mother said, 'Your father is a man of great capability with important matters to deal with. He will come back to find us soon!'"
"Until my mother led the spirit clan army to battle you and died at your hands, I learned from the jade tablet left by her that the primeval supreme was my father... Wuwu..."
"Bang bang bang—"
Snow Shadow Celestial Master kept pounding Tan Yun, crying uncontrollably, "Do you know? From childhood to adulthood, my mother painted a picture of a great father for me—a towering figure who was forced to separate from his blood relations for the sake of the world."
"My mother... Wuwu... she loved you so much; even when you fled from marriage, she never spoke a single bad word about you in front of me... Wuwu..."
"And you? You abandoned us mother and daughter and married the god king of time and space... you... you... really deserve to die, do you know?"
Hearing Snow Shadow Celestial Master's words, for the first time, Tan Yun shed tears of regret in front of Xuan Yuan Rou!
It is said that men do not easily shed tears unless they reach a point of heartbreak.
He finally realized that in the past, Xuan Yuan Rou had treated him so well, never speaking a word of complaint in front of their daughter.
Tan Yun let his daughter hit and accuse him; at that moment, he felt like a simple father who didn’t know how to defend himself.
