Kapitel 472: Chapter 471: Leaving without Regrets, Past without Remorse

In a quiet chamber.

Li Taiqing paced back and forth, a maturity and somberness incongruous with his youthful, bun-like face.

And solemnity.

On the cloud couch, Zhu Xiushi, on hearing the full story, could scarcely believe his own ears. After a moment, he stammered, "So, you partnered up with him and to avoid awkwardness, have been playing the fool all this time...and have been calling him 'Dad'?"

The statement was accurate, but it shouldn't have been said like that!

The Grand Tutor gave Zhu Xiushi a cold glance, calmly saying, "I borrowed his power to break through the Yin-Yang barrier, affording him a chance while sparing me any debt. As for the current situation, I had no choice. For now, I pretend a thief is my father until the clouds part and the moon shines bright, then I will make him beg for mercy."

"You still partnered up with him and then called him 'Dad'."

"..."

The Grand Tutor stayed silent, coolly looking at Zhu Xiushi as one would regard a dead person.
