3415 Unwilling?

Jing Minyao's eyes instantly widened, turning to her father with an expression of disbelief.

These words, they were actually coming from her father, who had always doted on her?

Why?!

How could things have turned out like this?

Shouldn't her father be here to save her?

How could even the Super-God Realm Elder Zhu be knocked to the ground?

Seeing him now scramble to his feet, his face ashen and pathetic, Jing Minyao felt an icy chill spread through her chest.

Was her father truly going to abandon her?

No, this couldn't be real.

She must still be dreaming, not fully awake yet.

A Father's Agony

Jing Minyao's eyes immediately became bloodshot. She looked anxiously at her father, Jing Tou, screaming in alarm, "Fa-Father! Father! You can't do this!"

"Husband!" Madam Jing also rushed over, wailing and falling to her knees at Jing Tou's feet. She clutched his robe, sobbing pitifully, "Husband, please, I beg you! Minmin was just confused for a moment, that's why she made such a mistake. She knows she was wrong now, she knows she was wrong, husband!"

"Please give her another chance, just one more chance!" Madam Jing cried heartbreakingly.

Jing Tou looked at his daughter's blood-stained, severely disheveled face, naturally feeling terrible himself.

This daughter, she had once been the one he valued and loved the most.

Compared to his cold strictness towards his eldest daughter, Jing Tou had truly poured his heart out for this youngest daughter.

He held her in his hands, afraid of dropping her; he held her in his mouth, afraid of her melting. During ordinary times, he would give her anything she wanted, just doting on her endlessly with his wife.

Yet, in the end...

Was he truly going to personally send her to her death?

Now, facing the Crown Prince at Aurora Sands and the Crown Princess's aggressive stance, Jing Tou was helpless and at a loss.

He turned to look at Qiao Mu, seeing her stare back with icy eyes, leaving no room for negotiation.

Jing Tou sighed deeply and looked down at Madam Jing, saying, "Madam, let go."

"No, I won't let go, I won't let go!" Madam Jing shrieked sharply. "Minmin is my daughter! I won't stand by and watch her die! Jing Tou, she's your daughter too! Are you willing to send your own daughter to her death now, just to appease the Crown Princess's anger?"

Unwilling!

Jing Tou's eyes instantly turned blood red, but what could unwillingness do?

Could unwillingness change the current situation?

Either execute Jing Minyao, or let the entire clan perish with her—these were the two paths laid before him.

No matter which choice he made, it would cause him immense pain.

"You Are Being Unreasonable!"

"Husband!" Madam Jing shrieked urgently, then glared at Qiao Mu. "Crown Princess! Your sister is perfectly fine now! Why do you insist on being so aggressive, insisting that my Minmin die??"

Qiao Mu looked at the unreasonable woman before her with chilling eyes. With a spatial slap, she fiercely struck Madam Jing across the face.

"My sister is fine now, but it's not because you were merciful to her; it's because she's fortunate to be alive," Qiao Mu said coldly.

And, was Little Lin'er truly fine?

She had been struck in the chest, injuring her vital organs. If Qiao Mu hadn't arrived in time to help, things would only have gotten worse.

Even if she healed in the future, there would still be lingering side effects.

"Crown Princess, saying that is a bit of a twisted argument!" Madam Jing cried out sharply, then turned and crawled to Mo Lian's feet.
