Xu Qingfeng's gaze turned towards the main hall, prompting everyone in the courtyard to look in the same direction.
"Father...!"
Xu Wanli turned his head to look behind him, suddenly shocked.
The words of Xu Qingfeng had not shaken him, but seeing the old man who emerged from the main hall made Xu Wanli tremble inside.
The Xu Family Head, Xu Chunqiu, who had been bedridden for years, stepped out, and his physical state did not look at all like he was gravely ill.
No signs of cerebral palsy, paralysis, or inability to take care of himself were visible.
"Step aside."
Xu Chunqiu merely glanced at the eldest, Xu Wanli. Although Xu Wanli's power and authority had been growing in the Xu Family, that single glance from the old man sent a chill down his spine, and he instinctively moved to the side.
Inside, Xu Wanli felt a storm of anxiety; the old man had been pretending all along. But why? The thought sent a shiver down his spine.
"Father, you're well now, that's truly wonderful."
