They will think of another way, but in any case, they won’t use Xiao Xue for the exchange.

But Xiao Xue is also a determined person. Although she is just a child, she has her own thoughts and things she wants to do.

She doesn’t really understand the whole truth and significance of the situation; she simply wants her father to get better, and she feels that uncle is too pitiful. She thinks she can help, so she intends to do it.

Therefore, this time Xiao Xue didn’t listen to her mother. As for her father’s words... she doesn’t quite understand what listening to her father feels like yet.

So, after glancing at her mother, Xiao Xue ignored whatever her father said about "Dream on" and, with her round eyes fixed on the Ghost King, she repeated for the third time: "I promise you."

Then she turned to Han Jing and said: "Mother, Xiao Xue has grown up and wants to make her own decisions. You can’t stop me. Didn’t you tell me before that to be a person, one must have their own thoughts, their own way, and their own decisions? So, this time, Xiao Xue wants to make her own decision. Don’t try to reason with me. That’s your reasoning, not mine."

The little girl spoke so seriously that Han Jing couldn’t immediately think of a rebuttal.

And no matter how reasonable Xiao Xue’s words were, Su Yu absolutely wouldn’t agree, so the simplest and most direct way was to eliminate the Ghost King directly.

He turned to pass the Xiao Xue in his arms to Lan Ling on the side, to prevent accidentally hurting her while taking action. But who knew the little girl seemed to read his mind and hugged his neck before he could pass her, threatening: "Father, if you dare to pass me over, I won’t recognize you anymore!"

Su Yu’s body stiffened.

The action of passing Xiao Xue froze in place, struggling to find a way to explain to her that he really didn’t need her to make any sacrifices for him, not even a tiny bit, which he was unwilling to accept.

All these years, he had not given her anything, not even the simplest companionship. He had already let her down enough, but such a young child had not held a single grievance against him. From beginning to end, seeing him was just joy and anticipation.

As long as he gets through this hurdle, and after obtaining the Seven Star Stone, he can return to her side to make up for the negligence towards her and her mother throughout the years. The promise he once made to protect them for a lifetime was something he should achieve, and how could he let a child bear even a fraction?

Su Yu couldn’t do it; he absolutely couldn’t let Xiao Xue make any transactions with that Ghost King.

Even if he were to give up this Seven Star Stone!

Xiao Xue didn’t understand the struggles and persistence of Su Yu and Han Jing; she had her own persistence, and today she truly made a decision. In her view, it was a very difficult decision, but once she decided, no one could change it!

So, Xiao Xue decided not to discuss it with her father and patted Su Yu’s shoulder: "I want to go down."

Su Yu didn’t know what she wanted to do, feeling a bit uneasy, and looked at Han Jing.

Han Jing didn’t want to meet Su Yu’s gaze, but right now was not the time to solve personal feelings between her and Su Yu. She had to step forward and stretch out her arms, intending to take Xiao Xue over: "Xiao Xue, come to mother."
