Inside Liren Mansion.

Lord Ashimo led over a dozen experts to completely surround Ashi Luo, whose utterly disgraceful behavior nearly caused him to tremble with rage.

Upon seeing his father Lord Ashimo, Ashi Luo was first surprised, then he laughed and said, "Father, you really do seem to be getting younger. In a few years, we might as well be calling each other brothers."

"You beast! Lower than an animal, lower than an animal!" Lord Ashimo roared.

Ashi Luo laughed and asked, "How am I a beast?"

Lord Ashimo pointed at Ashi Liren and demanded, "Is she not your sister?"

"So what if she is?" Ashi Luo retorted.

Lord Ashimo declared, "You are worse than a beast, and I am going to strip you of your title as Princely Heir."

Ashi Luo dismissed the threat with a wave of his hand, "I couldn’t care less about the title of Princely Heir. You can strip it for all I care; I’m not interested in it anymore. In a few days, I will be pursuing my true destiny."

Lord Ashimo’s eyes twitched and he demanded, "Where are you planning to go?"

Ashi Luo said, "You’re not qualified to know."

Lord Ashimo said, "Don’t you dare leave. Since you’ve committed such a beastly act, I am going to cripple your limbs, destroy your martial abilities, and imprison you for life."

At these words, Ashi Luo finally looked at his father and after considering for a while asked, "What did you say?"

Lord Ashimo repeated, "I am going to destroy your martial abilities and imprison you for life."

"On what grounds?" Ashi Luo demanded.

"On the grounds that I am your father," Lord Ashimo retorted harshly. "On the grounds that you have committed acts lower than a beast, tarnishing the reputation of the Ashi Clan. Such beastly acts, such heretical conduct."

"Do you have the right?" Ashi Luo suddenly raised his voice, "Can we stop with the hypocrisy? You are almost seventy years old, yet you look no more than forty—why is that?"

Lord Ashimo’s face twitched, and he responded, "Because I practice Taoist arts."

"Pah!" Ashi Luo spat, "You look under forty solely because of the demonic blood I gave you over a decade ago, along with certain evil techniques. Do you really think your Taoist practices have been successful? Every three days, a girl is carried out of your room—do you think I don’t know?"

With this revelation, Lord Ashimo’s face underwent a drastic change.

Ashi Liren looked at her father Lord Ashimo in utter disbelief, trembling as she asked, "Father, is this true?"

"That... That was a cultivation cauldron for the Taoist School," Lord Ashimo said with a quivering voice.

"Hahaha..." Ashi Luo laughed wildly, "Stop deceiving yourself, my father. Those were the evil practices I gave you."

Then, turning his gaze toward Suo Lun, Ashi Luo continued, "Mr. Yan Ziyu, oh, maybe you’re not him, but who cares? Do you know who that young girl Taosu, that I offered you, is?"

Suo Lun shook his head.

Ashi Luo explained, "She is the daughter of a deceased retainer of our Ashi clan, a man who died in battle for my father. Consequently, my father took his daughter Taosu under his wing as his foster daughter."

This type of situation was quite common, just as Yang Hongyi was the foster daughter of Count Suo Long. However, for Lord Ashimo to ultimately take his foster daughter as a concubine was indeed unacceptable.

Ashi Luo said, "But there is another identity Taosu holds. She is my first love, my very first love. You are well aware of our feelings for each other, as we studied under you together. Oh, but you are not Yan Ziyu."

Suo Lun looked at Ashi Luo in complete disbelief.

Was Taosu truly Ashi Luo’s first love? And he had actually given her to Suo Lun? How twisted his heart must be.

Ashi Luo went on, "My father was aware of my romance with Taosu. Back then, I was quite innocent, my deep affection for my sister yet untouched, my entire being devoted solely to Taosu. But can you imagine my biological father making advances on his own foster daughter, on his son’s lover?"

Turning his malevolent gaze back to his father, Ashi Luo sneered, "Lord Ashimo, it must feel great to take advantage of your foster daughter, to snatch your own son’s lover. You say I am lower than a beast; how much better are you? You call my actions beastly—are you not the same?"

Lord Ashimo’s face turned red with embarrassment, and he struggled to respond, "But... But it was because I consumed the demonic blood you gave me that my evil nature surged."

"Hahaha..." Ashi Luo laughed loudly, "Demonic blood doesn’t have the power to change one’s character. You were evil to begin with; the blood simply brought out your true nature. Father, you keep saying I’m lower than a beast, but how much better can you claim to be? Do you have any right to judge me?"

With a trembling voice, Lord Ashimo said, "Even so... so, you shouldn’t have acted against your own sister."

Ashi Luo responded, "But I will act, what will you do about it?"

Lord Ashimo replied, "Then I will have no choice but to end you."

With a cold laugh, Ashi Luo said, "The demonic blood must be taken every three years, my father. If you don’t maintain the regimen, not only will you fail to achieve eternal youth, but you will also age overnight as soon as the fourth triennium arrives. Are you sure you want to act against me, to force me to cut off your supply of demonic blood? When the time comes, not only will your endeavors for immortality be for naught, but you will also turn into an eighty-year-old man overnight—are you willing to accept that?"
