"By saying that, my daughter, it seems the young man indeed has a commendable temperament," Li Xuan's expression turned rather odd as he glanced at Li Jiujiu, and did not continue speaking.
Li Jiujiu's pale cheeks instantly flushed with a touch of light red.
She thought to herself how terrible it was; her father's mind was too shrewd, and despite her attempts to cover it up, he still saw through to the crux of the matter.
Li Xuan sighed again and tenderly patted his daughter's head.
"Jiujiu, don't think too much about it. You and that young man will meet again someday. Even if it costs me my old life, I will never let Taixuan Sect's Su Jing harm you!"
As an old father blessed with a daughter in his later years, who dedicated his life to the Lihe Sect, if he couldn't even protect his only young daughter, he would have no face to meet his ancestors even in death!
"Daddy..." Li Jiujiu's eyes were moist and red.
