This is a biased woman who, after having a son, started to neglect her daughter Qin Qin.

Fu Lingxi, along with her two maids, quickly chased after.

...

Huai Bingyi was in the midst of a lesson with Fu Zilin, taking the final chance to impart some private insights. And this disciple accepted these insights superbly, epitomizing the deep bond between mentor and student.

"Bang!" Fu Lingxi rushed in and embraced her son, Fu Zilin.

"My dear, my dear, your father has fought his way in; our days of hardship are about to end. You’re no longer a prisoner but a prince of the world now, majestic and imposing," Fu Yan’er said.

Immediately, Fu Lingxi rushed in, knelt before Fu Zilin, and bowed her head in reverence: "Sinner Fu Lingxi, pays respect to His Highness the Prince, may you live a thousand years!"

The eyes of Suo Lun’s son, Fu Zilin, lit up as he exclaimed, "Really? Is it true?"

Then, he approached Huai Bingyi, bowed, and asked, "Teacher, is what she says true? Has my father arrived?" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Huai Bingyi sighed inwardly, wishing to tear Fu Lingxi into pieces.

Having learned that Demon Emperor Lanling was advancing swiftly into the Sky Holy Palace, he hurried to teach Fu Zilin, pinning all his hopes on him, intending to establish a father-son-like bond in the shortest time possible. This was not only to save his own life but also to rise even higher in the future.

At this moment, it was completely ruined by Fu Lingxi, this shortsighted fool.

Fortunately, the disciple Fu Zilin’s attitude toward him remained deeply trusting and affectionate.

Huai Bingyi stroked the top of Fu Zilin’s head and said, "Indeed, your father has arrived at the Sky Holy Palace. Perhaps soon you two will meet. Do you remember what your teacher told you before?"

"I remember, Demon Race for the Demon Race, humans for humans, if they are not of our race, their hearts will be different," Fu Zilin bowed and replied.

"Good child, good child," Huai Bingyi said, "Perhaps humanity’s future lies on your shoulders. To see you so knowledgeable, the teacher could die without regret. Never forget your teacher’s teachings in the future!"

"Yes, teacher," Fu Zilin responded, then bowed even deeper, displaying utmost respect, and asked, "Teacher, did my father come to the Sky Holy Palace through war?"

"Yes!" Huai Bingyi replied.

Fu Zilin furrowed his brow and asked, "Can our Sky Holy Palace win? Can we withstand my father?"

Upon hearing "our Sky Holy Palace," Huai Bingyi was overjoyed and said, "It’s likely hard; perhaps soon, the Sky Holy Palace will be utterly defeated. Good child, humanity’s future rests upon you."

Fu Zilin lamented, "So, our Sky Holy Palace will lose?"

"Yes," Huai Bingyi said, "That’s why the teacher’s hope entirely rests on you; you must not disappoint the teacher!"

Fu Zilin replied, "Teacher, can you crouch down? I want to see your face clearly."

Huai Bingyi crouched down, tears in his eyes, and said, "Look, perhaps you won’t see the teacher again in the future, and the teacher can’t protect you."

Fu Zilin moved in front of Huai Bingyi, staring at his face, with tears streaming down his youthful cheeks, as if filled with emotions.

And Huai Bingyi was even more teary-eyed, saying, "Good child, good child, don’t cry, don’t cry. Remember the teacher’s words, alright?"

Fu Zilin nodded while crying, "I know, I remember every word you’ve said."

"Good child, good child," Huai Bingyi reached out to hug Fu Zilin.

But in the next moment...

Fu Zilin flashed an innocent yet cunning smile, raised his hand, and slapped Huai Bingyi’s face fiercely.

"Snap!"

A crisp sound.

Huai Bingyi could hardly believe his eyes.

Fu Zilin, who treated him like a father just moments ago, unexpectedly slapped him.

Fu Zilin sneered, "Teacher, you want to save your life, so you try to please me; isn’t it a bit last-minute desperation?"

Then, he looked at Fu Lingxi and asked, "Who are you, what is your status?"

"Sinner is the Candidate Sky Priest," Fu Lingxi replied.

Fu Zilin pointed at the maid who had been beaten earlier and said, "Skin her alive and beat her to death!"
