"Brother Chen, you’re back."
Bai Li put down the long sword in his hand and looked up.
This Lingyin prodigy, known for his fame, was usually unsmiling, but there was a rare hint of awkwardness on his face at this moment.
"Brother Bai, what’s going on?"
Chen Ye adjusted his stance, quickly walked forward, and looked at Little Susu with concern,
"Why is Susu crying? Who bullied you?"
"Don’t touch me! Big liar! Didn’t you say we were going to discuss serious matters? How come the discussion lasted a whole day, and you even changed clothes!"
Little Susu glared angrily at Chen Ye.
Damn, the sly cat got its way!
Bai Susu was very displeased.
Lucky for her that she was Little Susu now, allowing her to act unreasonably and throw tantrums without restraint!
"Ahem ahem..."
The father was so choked by his daughter’s words that he coughed repeatedly, feeling even more embarrassed.
What kind of medicine did his daughter take?
He had advised her earlier, and now...
"Daddy, speak up, will you?" Little Susu looked at Bai Li with dissatisfaction.
"Brother Chen..."
Seeing his daughter heartbroken, Bai Li’s old face turned slightly red, carefully choosing his words,
"Miss Qin, after all, is an old acquaintance of yours. As for you young people, if there are truly some past feelings or mutual affections, I naturally won’t interfere. But... but this Chouyun Pass is teeming with all sorts, and we don’t know Miss Qin’s background, so we should let emotions come naturally, but stop at propriety. Don’t... don’t be swayed by the sweet talk outside."
Sigh.
Think of him, Bai Li, wise for a lifetime... now for his daughter, he has to advise a male cultivator to restrain himself.
What kind of situation is this?
And his daughter is just a little one...
Moreover, when did this girl’s control issues become so strong?
The old father sighed.
Before, when he was with other women, this girl was happy for him. Unlike today, where Chen Ye gets close to other female cultivators, this little girl gets jealous.
If Bai Li weren’t highly cultivated and Little Susu didn’t have the Tongming Heart Acupoint Body, Bai Li would suspect Chen Ye quietly used demonic techniques to beguile his daughter!
"Brother Bai, Susu, you’ve misunderstood. I’ve lost my memory, my mind is a blank, how could I remember any old flames? That Miss Qin insists we have a life-saving bond, but I, Chen, act on the basis of fate. Compared to those vague pasts, I only acknowledge those beside me now."
Chen Ye immediately replied earnestly, not wanting to leave Little Susu with any impression of him as a philanderer. He smiled gently,
"Like Brother Bai and Susu, if there’s a chance, I’d also like to be with Brother Bai, watch our Susu grow up well. This girl is definitely going to be a remarkable prodigy in the future!"
"Thump thump!"
Listening to Chen Ye’s "sweet talk," Little Susu’s heart still treacherously skipped a beat.
She sneakily peeked out from Bai Li’s arm, giving Chen Ye a fierce glance, thinking:
"Watching me grow up? Hmph, this shameless fellow, indeed a villain, clearly taking advantage of me! Who’s part of your family!"
Little Susu secretly ground her teeth, but her flushed little bun face betrayed her current pleased mood.
But the act had to continue.
"You’re lying!" Little Susu pouted, fiercely glaring at Chen Ye, "Then why did you sneak away with her later? My daddy says when men sneak around outside, they’re certainly up to no good!"
"When did I ever say that?!" Bai Li’s eyes widened, cold sweat dripping down his back.
Why is this girl pinning all the blame on her own father!
She’s making her father seem like a sad woman from a deep boudoir!
Little Susu looked at her old father dangerously: "Hmm?"
The old father sharply inhaled, turned his head away, not daring to look at Chen Ye’s expression:
"Oh... oh... seemed like I did say that."
Seeing this, Chen Ye felt somewhat oddly reassured.
Apparently,
it’s not just him being manipulated by Bai Susu, this cheap father-in-law also is at his daughter’s mercy...
