“I didn"t realize it first. I found out about this when Qi Ya was already pregnant. A child born from a spirit beast and a human is unusual. She was born with some powerful and dangerous abilities to humans and might bring harm to us. What would other people say if they knew about this?”

The old housekeeper trembled, his eyes filled with shock.

‘Dangerous abilities to humans…"

‘The Duan family will be in danger…"

“Does Young Master know about this matter?”

“I don"t know, but he has been with Qi Ya for years. I believe that he already knew about it… He"s just fooling himself! That"s why I have sent people to hunt Qi Ya and her daughter back then. Otherwise… They would bring more harm to the future. Qiong"er would definitely protect them, and he would only drag our Duan family down.”

The old housekeeper was silent. He finally understood why the old master had treated Qi Ya like this.

If Qi Ya had never had a child, the old master would have only driven her out; he would not try to kill her.

“Qi Ya and her daughter suddenly disappeared. After so many years, she came back again, but alone without that b.a.s.t.a.r.d by her side. So, I"m sure her child has died. However, I"m afraid that these two will give birth to another b.a.s.t.a.r.d and bring more troubles to my family again.

“Furthermore, Qi Ya is a spirit beast, and all of the spirit beasts in Land of No Return belong to the Nan family…” Old Master Duan paused for a moment before continuing, “So, there"s still quite a bit of trouble if he keeps Qi Ya here.”

The old housekeeper frowned.

‘Indeed…"

All spirit beasts in this land belonged to the Nan family.

The strong one could serve as a guard, while the weak one could become the servant for the Nan family, including Qi Ya and other spirit beasts that could change into humans.

Even if she were weak, the Nan family would not release her.

“That"s why I said that Qi Ya could bring trouble to him. The only ones who could help him were Tian"er and her daughter, but he didn"t listen to me and insisted on keeping that spirit beast.”

The old housekeeper thought for a moment and said, “Master, we have to explain all these things to Young Master truthfully. He will definitely understand what you"re trying to do.”

“No need. That brat is very stubborn. Luckily, Tian"er loves him so much. When something bad happens in the future, there will be no need to worry if we have Tian Ya to help us.”

“Can Tian Ya fight with the Nan family?”

The old housekeeper was startled. Tian Ya was powerful, but no matter how strong he was, he could not compare to the Nan family that ruled the entire spirit beast mountain.

The old master Duan laughed. “Tian Ya isn"t a match for the Nan family right now, but he"s the only one who dared to p.i.s.s the Nan family off and escape from them! One day his strength will surpa.s.s the Nan family. I believe in him… Otherwise, I wouldn"t have sent Yi"er to him.”

It was good that Yi"er fought for her life, and that Tian Ya had treated her well. Unlike Qi Ya"s b.a.s.t.a.r.d daughter… Even if that b.a.s.t.a.r.d were still alive, she would only bring a disaster to his family.

There was no use to keep her with them. It would only bring countless enemies to the Duan family!

“If he wants to get angry, just let him be. But he must go to Tian"er"s room every night. He hates me now, but he will be grateful for what I"ve done later.”

The old housekeeper nodded approvingly.

‘There"s no father in this world who doesn"t love his son. Master is indeed a bit harsh, but everything he does is for Young Master"s sake."

‘Young Master was young and ignorant back then. That"s why he did not listen to Master… But he will naturally understand it later…"
