But this was also a form of love for his disciple; cultivation was cruel, and no one could always have smooth sailing. Lan Yongning had long ceased to be the young man he once was, having seen and met too many people and things, and had even experienced his Dao heart being shattered by Gu Wen.
If one were to look at the entire world, his disciple was merely mediocre.
For someone like him, being a True Monarch might have been the peak, but his own status had given the other party excessive illusions and the ability to harm others.
Recently, he dared to cause trouble for others out of jealousy, so there was a possibility of harming others in the future. If he and Gu Wen were not friends, perhaps Chunxuan would already be dead.
A child not taught is the father's fault.
"I have been ill for a long time, and in these years, I have somewhat neglected to discipline my disciple, who is willful and unreasonable. If I don't intervene, it may lead to a great disaster."
