A few days later.
Hoo hoo---
Snow was flying in the sky, and the cold wind was howling, blowing across the Sword Cliff of Middle Peak , making thousands of gold and white robes flutter.
Early in the morning, the disciples of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect who were in the Foundation Building stage and above, all wearing the golden and white robes of the sect, gathered at the Middle Peak Sword Cliff and lined up in the square in front of the cave.
Yun Jiujiu held one waxed paper umbrella in each hand, standing between two wheelchairs, staring silently at the huge obsidian stone door above the steps in front.
Different from usual, today, she was wearing the light blue dress she wore for Feng Yu Die, and her blond hair was tied into a bun. With her already petite stature, she looked very well-behaved.
But the prerequisite for being well-behaved was that she didn't speak.
"Eldest Sister, it's okay for the Third Sister to be in a wheelchair, she really can't move, but why are you also in a wheelchair? The last time I came to look for you, you were also lying in the bed, not moving too much."
Under the umbrella in Yun Jiujiu's right hand, Yun Yiyi, who was wearing a golden and white robe, showed a trace of embarrassment, shifted her gaze, and said, "When I was practicing with the spear before, I accidentally strained my muscles and bones. My legs are still a little weak."
"Huh? Why were you practicing the spear?"
"I found a good one, so I gave it a try..."
"But what does spear practice have to do with the legs? Isn't it about the arms?"
Full of embarrassment, Yun Yiyi thought of a random excuse. "... I exercised my legs first and overdid it."
"Heh, I used to say you were a soft-footed shrimp, but now you've really turned into one, right?"
Ignorant little girl, you know nothing!
... Yun Yiyi rolled her eyes and did not want to continue the topic. After a while, she asked, "Feng Yu Die left, were you reluctant to part with her?"
At the mention of Feng Yu Die, Yun Jiujiu shrugged indifferently and replied, "Why would I be? She's a girl, why would I keep her here? To be my maidservant?"
Yun Yiyi covered her mouth, smiling. "But I heard that when you came back from my place that day, you saw the farewell letter left by Feng Yu Die, and then you drank alone all day and night."
Yun Jiujiu blushed a little and interrupted her. "Shut up! It's none of your business that I've been drinking all day and all night."
As the two were talking, Yun Xi, who was on Yun Jiujiu's left, slightly raised her hand. After a few days of cultivation, she recovered from only being able to move her fingers to being able to move her arms. She could also speak a little without Zhang Yihe acting as a translator.
In the past few days, Zhang Yihe had almost pissed her off to death.
"Jiujiu..."
Yun Jiujiu blinked. "Third Sister, what's wrong?"
Yun Xi gave her a thumbs up. "Kick your dad's jewels..."
Yun Jiujiu patted her chest and gave an affirmative look in return. "I'll kick your dad, no worries!"
The two then looked at Yun Yiyi, who didn't answer, as if waiting for her to say something as well.
Yun Yiyi looked away and replied reluctantly, "Don't look at me. I won't say anything. It's too rude."
"Elder sister, that was your idea. What's rude is to let me approach our old man dressed like this and then strike when he's unprepared."
"Didn't you two come to me for advice? I'm not even sure if you can get him. Don't let him figure it out before you get close."
"Don't worry, I practiced in front of the mirror many times yesterday, and I'm sure it will come out perfectly. Come on, you can say it too."
"Kick our dad..."
"Louder! Show some spirit."
"Kick our dad's jewels!!
Rumble...
Just then, a rumble came from the *Sword Cliff *direction, as if muffled thunder was rolling.
The huge stone door in front of the trio began to vibrate, and the vines covering the upper edge were shaken off.
The Elders of the Sword Sect standing behind the three sisters, all cupped their hands in salute, leading thousands of disciples below to salute. "Congratulations Patriarch Yun for coming out of seclusion."
---"At ease."
A neutral voice came from the opening in the door, echoing among the mountains hundreds of miles away from the Moon Shadow Sword Sect.
A man in a golden robe stepped out from the gap between the stone doors.
The man was tall with fair skin, sword-shaped eyebrows, and blue eyes. There was a bright red plum blossom with both stamen and pistil tattooed on his brow. His appearance was androgynous but with the stern gaze of a man.
Yun Tianchong walked down the steps step by step and looked at the peaks of the Sword Sect from the high platform. Then, he looked at his three daughters and, seeing two of them sitting in wheelchairs, he frowned with a questioning gaze.
He looked at Yun Xi, who was wrapped in bandages. After a moment of deliberation, he asked, "Jiujiu, how did you get injured so badly?"
?
Sitting between her sisters, Yun Jiujiu was confused. She looked at her father who was, in turn, staring at Yun Xi, and wondered why he called her third sister 'Jiujiu'.
Yun Xi's eyes twitched, but she was injured and couldn't speak, so she didn't say anything.
"..."
From the other side, Yun Yiyi explained. "Dad, Third Sister, was caught up in a fight between two Nascent Soul cultivators and that's why she ended up like this."
Yun Tianchong paused for a moment and coughed awkwardly. "Ahem... it turns out to be little Xi. I didn't recognize her, being wrapped up like this."
Yun Xi gritted her teeth slightly. "Never mind..."
Then, Yun Tianchong turned to look at Yun Yiyi. Because he had just made a mistake, he hesitated before asking, "Then, you are Jiujiu?"
"Father." Yun Yiyi gritted her teeth slightly and said with a smile on her face, "I am Yiyi. If you can't tell the three of us apart, please use 'you' as a term of address. The disciples below can't hear you, but the Elders are on the sidelines."
Yun Tianchong was stunned for a moment, and his eyes shifted to the Elders of the Sword Sect who were standing aside with their hands cupped in salute. Seeing a few people looking at him strangely, he felt a little embarrassed and coughed. "Ahaha... Just kidding, how can there be a father in this world who can't tell his own daughters apart?"
Yun Yiyi, Yun Xi, and Yun Jiujiu all looked disgusted as if they were saying: Aren't you right here?
Yun Yiyi winked at Yun Jiujiu, signaling her to follow the plan.
Yun Jiujiu nodded slightly, then pursed her lips before smiling. "Daddy, give your daughter a hug, will you?"
She opened her arms and walked in front of Yun Tianchong, putting on an innocent and cute face and raising her head. Since Yun Jiujiu was also petite, this kind of childish action did not seem out of place.
?
Because Yun Yiyi previously identified herself, Yun Tianchong now knew that it was Yun Jiujiu who was asking for a hug.
Although he couldn't quite match her name with her face, he still remembered that Yun Jiujiu had a very tough temper. Why would she suddenly want to be hugged by her father?
"Jiujiu, what are you..."
"I missed you, Daddy. Give me a hug."
Looking at Yun Jiujiu walking over with a smiling face, Yun Tianchong slightly raised his eyebrows and looked her up and down, wondering. "After not seeing you for so long, you have changed quite a bit. As I remember, you didn't like being hugged in the past, and when you were two years old, you even beat your nanny black and blue."
"That was before. I've grown up."
Yun Tianchong crouched slightly and opened his arms to welcome Yun Jiujiu.
"Come here."
Yun Jiujiu walked quickly in front of him.
And in the next moment,
Boom---
Her left foot in an embroidered shoe simply crushed the floor tiles.
A crack spread out in all directions from where her left foot had stepped.
A strong wind blew and spiritual power erupted from Yun Jiujiu's entire body, her face turning red with effort.
"Hi-yaaa---!!"
Following her roar, a blast broke through the air.
Using her left foot as a fulcrum, Yun Jiujiu aggressively raised her right knee.
!!
Seeing this, Yun Tianchong's eyes widened instantly. He never expected that Yun Jiujiu would suddenly launch such a knee strike. He tried to avoid it, but it was already too late.
In the Deification stage, the body had already reached a state of pure gold body, untouched by dirt.
However, Yun Jiujiu was born with supernatural power, and one full blow of her could even shake a mountain peak.
What's more, this kick contained all the resentment and hatred that she, Yun Yiyi, and Yun Xi had accumulated toward him for decades.
Snap---
She used all her strength to deliver a kick that seemed to penetrate Yun Tianchong's whole body and made him jump up a foot.
Boom---
Yun Tianchong's eyes bulged out, and he looked at Yun Jiujiu in disbelief. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he was now unable to speak.
"Jiu..."
Yun Jiujiu spat to the side. "Bah!! This kick was for Feng Yu Die!"
?
"Feng... who?"
Yun Tianchong's expression looked like he was constipated, and his legs were shaking.
Even though he didn't need to poop in a thousand years.
However, since the Elders were nearby, he felt that covering his crotch was too shameful, so he endured it.
Before he could figure out what happened, Yun Jiujiu clenched her right fist and in just a step arrived behind him.
Bang---
The wind of the punch released suffocating pressure even before it hit.
Snap---
The fist slammed directly into Yun Tianchong's ass, and the force of the blow raised the dust and leaves on the ground behind him and messed up his bangs.
"..."
Yun Tianchong forced himself to endure the excruciating pain, but now he also reacted, hastily protecting his body with his spiritual energy to prevent Yun Jiujiu from hitting him a third time. However, Yun Jiujiu was not stupid.
Seeing that her father had reacted, she immediately turned around, summoned her flying sword, jumped on it, and flew away toward the south.
"Wait, Jiujiu..."
Yun Tianchong watched Yun Jiujiu's leaving figure with a livid face and confusion in his eyes. Finally, he couldn't help it anymore and knelt on the ground with his butt in the air in front of Yun Yiyi and Yun Xi.
Yun Yiyi and Yun Xi looked at each other with a smile. "Dad, are you okay?"
"..."
Yun Tianchong was speechless. He had been in seclusion for ten years. How could he have foreseen that one of his girls would kick and punch his 'family jewels' just after he came out of seclusion?
What did he do to make Yun Jiujiu hate him so much?
Feng... Feng Yu Die?
Who was that? Was it someone in the Moon Shadow Sword Sect?
Yun Tianchong couldn't figure it out, but at this time, he wasn't in the mood to ask Yun Yiyi. He felt he could die right now.
At this moment, a drake-like voice suddenly sounded in the sky, and a golden-feathered parrot circled above. "No more kids and grandkids!! No more kids and grandkids!!"
A white unidentified object fell from the sky like a bomb, splattering on Yun Tianchong's forehead. At this, he couldn't hold it in any longer. Looking out of the corner of his eyes, he pointed up his finger-sword hand.
A ray of light shot straight into the sky toward the golden-feathered parrot.
The parrot glanced with wide eyes and tilted its beak, performing the maneuver of the Floating Leaves and easily dodging Yun Tianchong's sword-like energy.
"What?"
Rumble...
All of a sudden, bursts of thunder came from the Sword Sect main gate.
And then, a booming voice followed. "I am the Thunder Peak master of the Black Star Sect, Lei Wanjun. I heard that you came out of seclusion today, Master Yun, so I came here to congratulate you."
