Zong Yi stroked the fine lines at the corners of Qin Fei'er's eyes heartbreakingly. "Fei'er, I promise you, I'll make sure that you will recover soon."

She was a beautiful young woman, and yet she was harmed to such an extent. She had lost her beauty, and her hair had also turned as white as an old lady's. How much patience did she have to face all this?

Looking at Qin Fei'er's teary eyes, Zong Yi's eyes sank a little. "I will also avenge you. I will never let anyone hurt you recklessly again!"

Even though she no longer looked young, Zong Yi could still see from her features how stunning she once was.

Because of jealousy, that woman had treated a kind girl this way.

That vicious woman probably had lost her mind.

"Thank you, Brother Zong..." Qin Fei'er smiled softly.

Her bitter smile, filled with pain and sadness, was like a sword that pierced Zong Yi's heart.

"But..." Her long fingers stroked the fine lines at the corners of her eyes, smiling bitterly. "I'm not worthy of your attention, Brother Zong... I'm already contented that my adoptive father is willing to take pity on me and accept me as his daughter, really."

Zong Yi was a bit sullen as he held Qin Fei'er's shoulders. "Stop saying silly things. Do you think I care so much about looks? Furthermore, you are still beautiful, so why do you belittle yourself?"

As soon as he finished his words, he raised his hand and pulled Qin Fei'er into his arms. He did not notice the cold smile that hung on the corners of her lips.

"Let's go. My father is still waiting for us. Let's go to the study room first."

Zong Yi patted Qin Fei'er's back. "You don't have to worry too much. Just make yourself at home."

"Alright."

Qin Fei'er smiled faintly as she raised her hand and wiped the tears in the corners of her eyes. "I never believed that good people would have good rewards. But when I met my adoptive father and you, I just realized that... God really favors people with good intentions, and it's worth all the grievances that I've had to endure back then."

The way she said the word 'worth' tugged at Zong Yi's heartstring.

But he did not say anything more.

Fei'er had suffered so much pain and grievance in the past. From now on, he would definitely take good care of her and never allow anyone to bully her again!

The Divine Herbs Sect.

In the middle of the luxurious study room, Zong Fu stood coldly with both his hands clasped behind his back. He stared at the courtyard outside the window, expressionlessly.

Standing behind him was an elder who looked slightly hesitant. It seemed like it took half a moment before he vocalized the question he had wanted to ask for a while now.

"Master, although it's a bit strange that Qin Fei'er can reach Holy Warrior tier in a short period, I think... There's no need for Sect Master to adopt her as your daughter. But why..."

Zong Fu's face was calm. "What happened to the results of your investigation, and the disciple you sent there back then... What exactly has happened to him?"

"Master..." The elder replied in embarrassment, "Tian Shen Manor has been very securely guarded lately. Our people can't get in, and as for Qin Fei'er... Does Sect Master think that she could reach Holy Warrior tier on her own, or through an unknown object?"

Zong Fu smiled coldly and sneered. "If Qin Fei'er is really capable of this, she wouldn't have been poisoned without realizing it. She has used up all her strength and cannot bring any benefit to us anymore."

"Then, why did Sect Master..."
