Chapter 653: Chapter 653: The Tower that Suppresses My Father_1

The entire Myriad Flowers Valley fell into silence once more.

On the mountain path, Hua Nishang clutched her chest, stumbling as she fled.

With every step she took, fresh blood spilled from her mouth, leaving behind a long trail of scarlet footprints.

"Ning Fan... must notify Ning Fan... the Ice and Snow Goddess has come."

However, as her injuries worsened, Hua Nishang’s vision blurred and she finally collapsed by the roadside, losing consciousness.

...

After dealing with the He Family, Ning Fan began investigating the towers in Capital City.

According to the legacy left by his mother, his father was suppressed in a tower within Capital City.

One of Ning Fan’s goals in his cultivation had always been to rescue his father.

Having gathered all the information about the towers in Capital City, Ning Fan started to check them one by one.

Needless to say, there were quite a few towers in Capital City, most of which were scenic spots.

Dressed like a tourist and wearing sunglasses, Ning Fan visited these towers.

For several days in a row, he left early and returned late, to the extent that Su Qingcheng suspected he was having an affair with Chen Yi, and warned him multiple times.

After Ning Fan explained, Su Qingcheng’s suspicions were dispelled.

It took two or three days for Ning Fan to visit a third of the towers in Capital City.

Yet, he found nothing.

To him, these towers seemed utterly unremarkable.

Logically speaking, with his mother’s significant cultivation strength, his father’s abilities couldn’t have been much weaker.

To suppress his father in a tower, even if there was nothing else, there should at least be a formation, right?

But no matter how Ning Fan sensed, there was no trace of energy on any of these towers, not even the breath of people.

"Is my father really suppressed in one of these towers?"

Ning Fan frowned deeply and crossed off another target on the map.

He sighed heavily and turned to look at Xu Yourong on the bed.

Having been frozen by the Ice and Snow Goddess, time seemed to have stopped for Xu Yourong, like a Sleeping Beauty from a fairy tale.

Gently touching the ice, Ning Fan’s eyes filled with longing as he sadly said, "Yourong, I really miss you... If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t be like this now."

"I once swore that I would never let you get hurt again, but I’ve failed to keep that promise every time..."

"I’m sorry, it’s all my fault... I will do everything I can to help you recover quickly."

"Even if it costs me my life, I won’t let you be hurt again!"

Ning Fan leaned on the ice sculpture, gently embracing Xu Yourong, his eyelids drooping as if to be close to her.

Outside the room, Su Qingcheng hesitated for a moment, but ultimately put down her hand that was ready to knock on the door.

She had intended to check on Ning Fan, but after hearing his heartfelt words, she abandoned the thought.

After all, Ning Fan was Xu Yourong’s boyfriend, her fiancé.

Suddenly, a cell phone rang. Su Qingcheng hurriedly pressed the mute button and walked quickly to the garden.

On the phone, her uncle’s deep voice came through.

"Qing Cheng, why haven’t you come home these past few days? What does this mean?"

Having been looking after Xu Yourong and wanting to avoid the family’s arranged marriage, Su Qingcheng had not returned since leaving the last time.

These past days, Su Han had called several times to get Su Qingcheng to come home, but she had found reasons to put him off.

"Uncle, I still have things to take care of here. I’ll come back when I’m done."

Having said that, without waiting for Su Han to say more, she hung up the phone.

The next day, Ning Fan woke up early, ready to continue looking for clues about the towers.

As he was about to leave, Su Qingcheng stopped him.

"Ning Fan, do you have time to come back with me to the Su Family?"

"Back to the Su Family?" Ning Fan was startled, then he understood, "You want me to help you refuse the engagement, right?"

"Yes, Uncle called yesterday, and I’m finding it hard to cope," Su Qingcheng gritted her teeth, "I’ll go home for dinner tonight, you come with me, okay?"

"Alright, I’ll call you tonight."

Having agreed, Ning Fan left.

Watching Ning Fan’s leaving figure, Su Qingcheng took a deep breath, psyching herself up before driving back to the Su Family as well.

As soon as she got back to the Su Family, she heard a jeering voice.

"Heh, does she think she’s some kind of fairy? Acting all coy about the marriage alliance."

"Exactly, that’s the young Sect Master of the Kunlun Family, a position many people can’t even dream of marrying into!"

"If I could, I would have taken that spot myself. She’s really not appreciating what she’s got."

Su Qingcheng’s face darkened; she easily recognized that the speakers were her own cousins.

Taking a deep breath, she pushed open the door and said coldly, "Well, if you’re so keen, then go ahead and have the marriage alliance yourself."

Upon Su Qingcheng’s return, the group of young men and women stopped their gossip, looking embarrassed.

Cousin Su Qili’s eyes shifted, and with forced laughter, she said, "Oh, cousin, you’re finally back. We’ve been waiting for you for so many days."

The others also regained their composure and began to smile and chime in.

"Yes, we’ve missed you while you were away."

"Cousin, where have you been these days?"
