Chapter 1098 - 1098 Identity Confession
1098 Identity Confession
At that moment, Sheng Xiao pushed the wine glass in front of Di Wu. He stared at Di Wu’s beard for a moment and suddenly asked, “Where are you from?”
Di Wu stared at Sheng Xiao unhappily and snorted. “You’re staying in my hotel, yet you’re investigating my identity?”
Sheng Xiao put down his long legs from the high stool.
He stood up straight and leaned his upper body towards Di Wu. As Sheng Xiao looked at Di Wu at a close distance, he suddenly said, “Naris is not your daughter, right?”
Di Wu’s pupils dilated and he subconsciously pushed Sheng Xiao away.
Di Wu glared at Sheng Xiao angrily and scolded, “You’re an adult, so please be mindful of what you say.”
Sheng Xiao looked at Di Wu meaningfully, but he didn’t probe further and sat back down.
Throughout the entire process, Yu Huang stared at Di Wu without blinking.
Yu Huang suddenly felt bored when she saw Di Wu pushing Sheng Xiao away. She raised the bottle in his hand and took a sip of wine.
Yu Huang muttered to herself, “Purifying Spirit Masters can sense the aura of everyone’s soul. Mr. Di Wu, Naris’ soul is exactly the same as the soul aura of a good friend of mine. She’s not your daughter at all. She’s my friend Anna Tao.”
Di Wu’s hand that was holding the bottle trembled slightly.
Di Wu forced himself to calm down. He snorted at Yu Huang disdainfully and retorted, “Nonsense! Naris is my daughter. How can I be mistaken? What right do you have to say that she’s your friend? Just because you’re a Purifying Spirit Master, you can spout nonsense?”
Facing Di Wu’s accusation, Yu Huang remained very calm. “You know very well whether it’s nonsense or not.”
Yu Huang narrowed her eyes and said, “There’s an ice-blue Heart-Protecting Scale hidden under the skin on my friend Anna’s chest. That Heart-Protecting Scale is cold, so her body temperature is lower than others. That Heart-Protecting Scale is unique in the world. It’s a token of love given to Anna by her fiancé.”
“There’s also a protective scale hidden under your daughter’s chest. Are you still going to quibble?!”
“Why are you pretending to be Naris’ father?!”
Yu Huang didn’t know what kind of person Di Wu was, so she naturally didn’t dare to leave Naris by Di Wu’s side. The advanced academies’ enrollment competition was about to begin. If she didn’t settle Naris’ matter, Yu Huang couldn’t leave with peace of mind.
That was why she decided to expose Naris’ identity today.
Upon hearing Yu Huang tell the truth about the Heart-Protecting Scale, Di Wu was speechless. Just as he was about to explain, he heard a hoarse and trembling female voice coming from the entrance of the tavern—
“Daddy, is what Yu Huang said true?”
It was Naris’ voice.
Yu Huang, Di Wu, and the others turned to look in the direction of the door at the same time.
Naris came in from outside with a red cloak and a bamboo box in her hand. She went out alone today to go to the delivery station on the street to pick up the perfume tools she had bought online.
When she returned, she happened to hear the contents of Yu Huang and Di Wu’s confrontation outside the door.
At first, Naris was angry when she heard Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang question Di Wu and suspect that she wasn’t Di Wu’s daughter.
She felt that Yu Huang and the others were disrespecting her and were saying such lies to provoke Di Wu.
However, when Naris heard Yu Huang mention the Heart-Protecting Scale under her chest, she realized that she really might not be Di Wu’s daughter.
There was indeed a blue dragon scale hidden under the skin of her fair chest.
That dragon scale was different from the other dragon scales on her body. It seemed to be alive and would continuously send cold air out.
A few years ago, Five Lake Street wasn’t this cold. Naris even suspected that the reason the temperature on Five Lake Street had been getting lower and lower in the past few years was related to the dragon scale under her chest.
Seeing Naris appear, Di Wu suddenly panicked.
Suddenly, Di Wu turned around and glared at Yu Huang fiercely as he said, “You did it on purpose, right?! Naris said that you’re also a Purifying Spirit Master. You Purifying Spirit Masters are sensitive to everything around you. You knew that Naris was outside the door, so you deliberately said these words to let Naris know all of this, right?!”
At this moment, Di Wu hated Yu Huang to the core.
He regretted letting Yu Huang stay here.
Yu Huang didn’t deny Di Wu’s accusation.
She did do it on purpose.
Yu Huang originally didn’t intend to reveal Naris’ true relationship with Anna, but she realized that such a decision was very unfair to Naris.
Anna was petite, but her willpower wasn’t weak.
Anna’s petite body contained an unyielding soul.
For the past few days, Yu Huang had been thinking to herself that if she were Anna, she would rather live in pain yet lucidity than forget everything and live her life without knowing the truth.
That was why Yu Huang did this.
When Naris heard Di Wu accuse Yu Huang, she knew that Yu Huang was telling the truth. “Daddy, am I really not your daughter?”
Naris looked at Yu Huang again and asked with tears in her eyes, “Is what you said true?”
Nodding her head, Yu Huang said, “Naris, you’re indeed my friend, Anna. I deliberately approached you that night because I had long discovered through your soul aura that you were Anna.”
Naris was silent for a full minute before walking to the counter stiffly.
Staring at Di Wu’s red eyes, Naris said hesitantly, “Daddy, tell me if what Yu Huang said is true or not. As long as you say it’s a lie, I won’t believe her.”
Yu Huang’s gaze flickered slightly, but she didn’t say anything.
Di Wu revealed a pained and guilty expression.
After a moment, Di Wu let out a long sigh and said hesitantly, “Naris, you’re indeed not my daughter.”
Naris was stunned.
“Then…” Naris’ mind was in a mess, and for a moment, she actually forgot what she wanted to ask.
At that moment, Sheng Xiao asked Di Wu again, “Mr. Di Wu, where did you meet Naris?”
Naris calmed down a little and looked at Di Wu in confusion.
Di Wu was silent for a long time before saying unhappily, “In the Black Eye.”
“Black Eye?” Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang exchanged looks. This place was unfamiliar, so Sheng Xiao asked quickly, “Where is that?”
Di Wu said, “It’s a very strange place that’s located in a forest between the Central Continent and the Northern Yan Cang Realm. The Black Eye is hidden under a ten thousand-foot cliff. Because it looks like an eye from a high altitude, it’s called the Black Eye.”
