Guo Tianhao was taken aback by Rou'er's words.
She almost always ignored him, but she had never actually treated him coldly. And the coldness itself didn't bother him nearly as much as being compared to Qingyi.
Did she even know that damn ant existed? Had they ever met before?
His aura slipped from his control for a brief moment before he reeled it back in, forcing composure back onto his face.
The sect leader and the other eight pavilion leaders held the Guo family's wealth in high regard, but Rouxi, who was holding Rou'er in her arms, truly didn't care how rich they were.
She was overprotective, and if Tianhao showed even a hint of murderous intent toward Rou'er, he knew he'd leave that room seriously injured at the very least, even as a member of the Celestial Fairy Pavilion.
"Sect Leader... please, consider my request!" Tianhao redirected his words, shifting focus entirely. "The safe awakening of Rou'er's bloodline is all I want! Think of the ties between our two families!"
