Gui Xingfu read the Flame Demon Empire Emperor's edict over and over again, then inexplicably, his eyes moistened.
"How many years has it been?" asked Gui Xingfu.
Zhi Ao replied, "Eight years!"
Gui Xingfu said, "Xia Ao, as a father in this life, I've calculated and schemed to the end. Thirty years ago, I meticulously investigated King Zhi Bian's private life; twenty-eight years ago, I deliberately adopted you, just to push you to the throne of the Rage Wave Kingdom, to make our Rage Wave the Gui Family reach the pinnacle. For this, I used every means, including partaking in framing my sworn brother, including sending my daughter to Zhi Li."
Zhi Ao brewed a cup of tea and placed it in front of Gui Xingfu.
Looking at his foster father before him, he was sixty-eight years old this year, his hair already entirely white, showing clear signs of old age.
