Chapter 3: Who Am I Exactly

"Reflect quickly, why are you dawdling? I still need to go back and reunite with Hongyu. This child is really worrisome, actually using some broken mirror to reflect her own father. Truly unfilial..."

Li Xianzhi clutched his chest, seemingly very sad and angry.

Several captains saw Li Xianzhi's appearance and looked at Li Hongyu with strange eyes.

"Don't be fooled by his demonic words; he is really not my father. You have all seen my father; do you think it's possible for a person like him to know so many secrets?"

Li Hongyu was even more convinced that the Li Xianzhi in front of her was not her father, because her father was a total waste, incapable of literary or martial arts.

However, what Li Chengxiao was thinking about was not whether this person was Li Hongyu's father, but what Li Xianzhi had just said.

The Demon-Reflecting Mirror was too important to the Profound Garment Guard. Nowadays, the world was in chaos, and demons were rising everywhere. If every Profound Garment Guard station had a Demon-Reflecting Mirror, it would be a huge help to the Guard.

But how to deal with this person still had to wait until after the reflection. Li Chengxiao had no bottom line in his heart; could a person who could casually speak of the secrets of the Demon-Reflecting Mirror really be reflected?

The divine light of the Demon-Reflecting Mirror swept across Li Xianzhi's handsome face. This guy didn't dodge at all and even carefully examined his appearance in this lifetime in the mirror.

Seeing his flashy appearance in the Demon-Reflecting Mirror, Li Xianzhi was very satisfied.

It was still that same flavor, not changed at all.

In the memories of countless lifetimes, Li Xianzhi seemed to have never changed his appearance. Even when he became a woman, he still used this template. Sometimes Li Xianzhi even suspected that the Ren Zu Ci was cutting corners.

Li Chengxiao withdrew the Demon-Reflecting Mirror and looked at Li Hongyu helplessly.

"Nier, do you believe it now? I really am your father. If you still don't believe me, I even know you have a red mole on your left buttock."

Li Xianzhi looked at Li Hongyu expectantly.

Li Hongyu felt she was about to explode; Li Xianzhi was spouting nonsense, making her unable to step down. But everything Li Xianzhi said was true. Li Hongyu didn't know what to do now, so she had to cast her gaze toward Li Chengxiao.

"Hongyu, listen to me. This person really might be Brother Li. There is no trace of him being possessed on his body. Or perhaps he is a long-lived great demon, which is also possible. But I lean toward the former. If he were truly a heaven-reaching great demon, there would be no reason to mess around with us here." Li Chengxiao stated his opinion, and as for what Li Hongyu planned to do, she would decide for herself.

"Lock him up first. I want to be quiet." Li Hongyu's heart was in a mess. She hadn't expected the result to be like this.

On one hand, although she hated her unscrupulous father, on the other hand, she hoped this person was really her father. Because in this world, Li Hongyu had no other relatives.

No one can live alone.

"Nier, what's wrong? Did they bully you? Tell Father, Father will avenge you." Li Xianzhi looked at Li Hongyu's dejected expression, and his heart suddenly ached.

Was this the heart-to-heart connection between father and daughter? Even if the two were an extremely incompatible father-daughter pair. Blood kinship is the most indescribable emotion.

Even if Li Xianzhi had experienced eternity, he couldn't control this emotion.

"Shut up, will you? Although I have no way to deal with you, I will not allow my father's body to be defiled by a demon. I will definitely find your flaw and then drive you out of my father's body." Li Hongyu finally spoke her heart.

Li Xianzhi was a bit confused; all along, he had thought Li Hongyu hated him. He hadn't expected the real reason to be this.

But he really was her father.

Wasn't he? Li Xianzhi was a bit dazed. But then Li Xianzhi became firm; he really was Li Hongyu's father.

For billions of years, Li Xianzhi had long studied this reincarnation, and had also researched some things. It just needed some verification.

In his mind, the Ren Zu Ci displayed the tablets Li Xianzhi had turned into over countless years. Li Xianzhi found the one engraved with the name Li Shentong. As long as he found Li Shentong's corpse, he could unravel all these mysteries.

Who exactly was he?

"Nier, I really am your father." Li Xianzhi looked at Li Hongyu firmly, his eyes revealing the unique radiance of a father.

"Then explain how you were resurrected, and explain why you know the secrets of the Demon-Reflecting Mirror." Li Hongyu stiffened her neck, urgently needing an answer.

"Nier, what kind of person do you think your father is?" Li Xianzhi didn't answer, but instead asked a question that Li Hongyu couldn't answer.

Li Hongyu looked at Li Xianzhi's mysterious eyes and was dazed for a moment.

Yes, did she really understand her own father? It seemed that apart from arguing and occasionally cleaning up Li Xianzhi's messes, Li Hongyu had never truly understood Li Xianzhi.

However, Li Hongyu wouldn't be easily fooled by Li Xianzhi, so she said mercilessly, "What kind of person could you be? A rotten drunkard, a gambler, a playboy..."

Li Hongyu counted Li Xianzhi's various faults without stopping.

The people next to them couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh after hearing this. This father and daughter were truly interesting. Even the usually dignified Li Chengxiao couldn't help but shake his head.

Actually, Li Hongyu was right; Li Xianzhi was exactly that kind of person. If Li Hongyu hadn't been his disciple, Li Chengxiao wouldn't even have looked at Li Xianzhi straight.

"Absurd!"

"How absurd."

Li Xianzhi raised his head slightly and flicked his large sleeves. Although in his memory he really seemed to be such a guy, who was he? He was an old immortal who had lived for countless years; how could he admit all this? Li Xianzhi refuted loudly.

"It seems it can't be hidden anymore. This seat originally wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person. But you seem to look down on this seat a bit." Li Xianzhi sighed, seemingly with infinite helplessness.

Li Hongyu had black lines on her forehead. She knew this guy was going to spout nonsense again. However, Li Chengxiao and several captains became interested, their faces full of curiosity as they looked at Li Xianzhi.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, Li Xianzhi slowly said, "Your father and Li Shentong were sworn brothers. You see your father as young, but your father is actually over a thousand years old. It's just that back then, I fought against the powerhouses of the Three Mountains and Four Seas alone and was severely injured, so I chose to live in seclusion in Dongjiang City."

"I won't hide it from you; your father was once a peerless hero in the limelight. But don't be proud of this; as a human, one should strive to improve." Li Xianzhi looked smug, seemingly with infinite emotion. Although this was all made up by Li Xianzhi, it was close enough.

He was Li Shentong himself, so saying he was sworn brothers with him, he agreed. Since Li Shentong agreed, it must be true!

Li Hongyu's face turned red, seemingly about to explode at any moment.

"Peerless hero, you deserve it?"

"Nier, why don't you believe it? If you don't believe me, I can write down some secrets, and you can go to those old immortals in the Capital to verify it." Li Xianzhi was anxious; seeing Li Hongyu still didn't believe him, he quickly proposed a new method.

His identity could withstand scrutiny.

"Hongyu, why not do as Brother Li says? If all this is true, wouldn't it be a happy ending?" Li Hongyu wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li Chengxiao.

"Yeah, yeah, if you don't believe me, you can verify it!" Li Xianzhi felt he had truly exhausted his heart to be recognized by this daughter.

According to the memories of his previous life, those old things from his era, if they hadn't sought death, must still be alive. After all, the Ascension Realm could live for ten thousand years. The Shenwu Emperor was probably still alive.

Li Chengxiao's expression was complex.

A great power who had sworn brotherhood with Li Shentong would be a great help to the Dynasty. Even if this person was now crippled, his knowledge and insights were priceless treasures.

The Capital would definitely be interested. ===== CHAPTER 4 =====
