Yun Lang had no intention of listening to Xuanyuan Ziyan. He waved his hand and directly ordered, "Yan'er, you can go out now! I'm tired and need to rest!"
"Father."
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Ziyan's face instantly showed a hint of grievance, but she was suppressed by Yun Lang's stern gaze.
Xuanyuan Ziyan reluctantly retreated.
As soon as Xuanyuan Ziyan left the room, she saw a familiar face standing at the door. Upon seeing Yun Lang, she hurried over, "Father, is my mother in?"
Yun Lang's expression immediately turned gloomy, "What do you want her for?"
Seeing Yun Lang's displeased face, Xuanyuan Ziyan quickly explained, "Father, your daughter doesn't mean to look for mother, but there are some things I wish to discuss with her. I hope Father will grant me this."
"Discuss? Discuss what?"
"Discuss..." Xuanyuan Ziyan hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and said directly, "Discuss restoring the Xuanyuan family's glory!"
Yun Lang's brow furrowed even deeper. "Xuanyuan Ziyan, have you gone mad? I'm telling you, the Xuanyuan family's glory has long since ceased to exist!"
"Father!" Xuanyuan Ziyan's expression changed.
Yun Lang looked at Xuanyuan Ziyan's demeanor, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes. "Yan'er, no matter what method you use, you must restore the Xuanyuan family's former glory! Otherwise, don't blame me for being harsh!"
"Father! How can you treat your daughter like this? Can you really bear to watch the Xuanyuan family decline generation after generation?" Xuanyuan Ziyan's anger instantly erupted.
"You are just an unruly girl. How dare you lecture me?" Yun Lang made no attempt to hide his disgust.
"You! I am your daughter, and I have spared no effort for the Xuanyuan family. If you don't appreciate me, you treat me like this?" Xuanyuan Ziyan's eyes instantly turned red.
Xuanyuan Ziyan never expected her esteemed father to say such words.
Yun Lang's expression remained icy cold. His gaze, like sharp swords, pierced Xuanyuan Ziyan. "Don't you understand how I treat you?"
Xuanyuan Ziyan's body trembled slightly. She then lowered her head, daring not to say another word.
Yun Lang looked at Xuanyuan Ziyan, whose eyes were red-rimmed, and his tone softened slightly. "You go out first. I have something very important to handle!"
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Ziyan immediately left Yun Lang's chambers.
After Xuanyuan Ziyan left, Yun Lang's expression instantly returned to calmness.
Xuanyuan Ziyan walked out of Yun Lang's chambers, her face ashen.
"Miss, are you alright?"
A concerned voice came from beside her.
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Ziyan looked up and saw a man in a gray robe standing before her, asking respectfully.
Xuanyuan Ziyan glanced at the man in the gray robe and sighed, "It's nothing. For now, you can stay at the Xuanyuan mansion."
The man in the gray robe nodded, "This servant obeys!"
Xuanyuan Ziyan nodded slightly, then walked away on a different path.
In Yun Lang's chambers, he sat in a chair, his face darkened.
He tapped his fingers on the table, pondered for a long time, then picked up a brush from the table and began to write a letter.
After finishing, he immediately had it sent to the imperial palace.
He now needed to find a place to hide from pursuers.
After all, he couldn't guarantee whether the Xuanyuan family would still have any value after he made his arrangements.
He had to completely destroy the Xuanyuan family before it perished.
After finishing the letter, Yun Lang got up from his study and walked towards the main hall.
Xuanyuan Tian, the Grand Elder of the Xuanyuan family, was waiting in the main hall.
Upon seeing Yun Lang enter, he immediately stepped forward.
"Yun Lang, where is that cripple? Was she captured by that bitch Xuanyuan Ziyan?" Xuanyuan Tian asked anxiously.
Yun Lang glanced at him and said indifferently, "I've already sent her out of the capital."
"What? Sent out of the capital?" Xuanyuan Tian's eyes widened. "That Xuanyuan Ziyan has too much nerve! How dare she trespass into the imperial palace!"
"Heh heh." Yun Lang let out a cold laugh. "I think she's courting death!"
"Yun Lang, since that cripple is gone, we no longer need to worry about her. As long as we handle the Xuanyuan family's affairs properly, the Xuanyuan family will still be the Xuanyuan family! At that time, the Xuanyuan family will still belong to me, Xuanyuan Tian!" Thinking of the glorious era of their Xuanyuan family, Xuanyuan Tian couldn't help but laugh heartily.
Yun Lang's lips curled into a mocking arc. "Xuanyuan Tian, you're dreaming. That bitch Xuanyuan Ziyan is not someone you can easily fool!"
After speaking, Yun Lang turned and walked out, preparing to head to the Southern Border Imperial Palace.
Xuanyuan Ziyan, I don't care if you're truly foolish or faking it, I will absolutely not allow you to remain in the Xuanyuan family!
After Yun Lang left, Xuanyuan Ziyan's tears finally began to flow.
"Father, why do you hate me so much? Why? What exactly did I do wrong?" Xuanyuan Ziyan felt an immense pain in her heart.
She didn't understand why her father treated her this way.
Xuanyuan Ziyan stood there for a moment, then quickly ran towards her courtyard.
As soon as Xuanyuan Ziyan entered her courtyard, she saw Xuanyuan Ziyao sitting in the center of her courtyard.
Hearing the commotion, Xuanyuan Ziyao turned her head to look at Xuanyuan Ziyan.
Upon seeing Xuanyuan Ziyao, a look of anger flashed across Xuanyuan Ziyan's face. "Xuanyuan Ziyao, you damned bitch!"
With that, she charged directly at Xuanyuan Ziyao.
Seeing Xuanyuan Ziyan lunging at her, Xuanyuan Ziyao immediately dodged to the side.
Xuanyuan Ziyan missed and fell to the ground, in so much pain her face turned pale.
"Hmph, Xuanyuan Ziyan, do you think you're still as powerful as before?" Xuanyuan Ziyao looked at Xuanyuan Ziyan, who had fallen to the ground, a mocking expression on her face. "You'd better get lost quickly, or I'll make your life worse than death!"
Hearing this, tears welled up in Xuanyuan Ziyan's eyes again. She looked at Xuanyuan Ziyao, "Xuanyuan Ziyao, don't bully me too much!"
"Hmph, it's not clear who is bullying whom yet." Seeing Xuanyuan Ziyan in such a state, Xuanyuan Ziyao felt a surge of triumph.
She simply loved seeing Xuanyuan Ziyan cry, which inexplicably made her feel good!
"You..." Seeing the smug look on Xuanyuan Ziyao's face, Xuanyuan Ziyan's face instantly turned red with anger. She clenched her fists, her eyes filled with intense hatred. She wanted to stand up, but she couldn't.
Seeing Xuanyuan Ziyan's state, a triumphant smile appeared on Xuanyuan Ziyao's face. "Xuanyuan Ziyan, save your strength! Your cultivation has already been crippled!"
"You... I won't let you off!" Xuanyuan Ziyan gritted her teeth.
"Hmph, what if your cultivation is crippled? Aren't you still going to obey me obediently? Otherwise, I don't mind killing you!" A bloodthirsty glint flashed in Xuanyuan Ziyao's eyes.
Seeing Xuanyuan Ziyao's demeanor, Xuanyuan Ziyan suddenly had a bad premonition.
