The Great Elder looked at Yang Shirui with a serious expression, silent for a long time, finally sighed softly, and said, "You have grown up. Since that’s the case, I will talk to the Sect Leader about this matter. Daughter, your sudden maturity is comforting to me, but that Jie Wenzhan is not a suitable match." Such an arrogant personality, impossible to stop for anyone.
"Dad, you can tell?" Yang Shirui blushed, "Yes, I have a good impression of him, which is different from what I feel for Brother Ye. Brother Ye, I always felt he was my future partner, it’s a kind of inevitable understanding. I want to try interacting with Jie Wenzhan to see if he can accept my feelings. But before that, I want to deal with this matter with Brother Ye first."
"You really have grown up..." The Great Elder sighed with relief, but felt a bit worried about the uncertain future of his daughter.
"Dad, I know what you are worried about." Yang Shirui laughed, "Thinking back now, my past self was really ridiculous. Vain, capricious, ignorant. Seeing Jie Wenzhan’s actions, I finally understand that people, especially us cultivators, need to act unrestrainedly and openly. Even if Jie Wenzhan doesn’t accept me, I won’t be sad. At least I tried. This will be a trial on my cultivation journey, a tribulation, I will overcome it, and I will grow."
The Great Elder suddenly felt like crying.
All these years, he exhausted himself worrying over this unruly daughter.
He even planned for what would happen after his own demise, which was to marry the Sect Leader’s son, so that his daughter, even if unsuccessful in cultivation, could at least have a stable life.
But then his daughter suddenly became sensible, making him feel...
He suddenly reached out and placed his hand on Yang Shirui’s forehead.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Yang Shirui looked puzzled.
"I’m checking if you have been possessed, suddenly becoming so sensible, it seems fake." The Great Elder frowned and said very seriously, "Oh, not possessed, thank heavens, my daughter has finally become sensible."
Yang Shirui’s mouth twitched, and she shouted, "Dad, are you really my father? Was I picked out from the trash?" Then she started wailing, "Mom, look at dad, after you left, he treats me like this. I lost my mom, now my dad doesn’t care for me either... suspecting I’m fake, just because I’m a little sensible, he acts like this, now I’m a poor child with no love from mom or care from dad..."
The Great Elder’s face turned pale, this screeching didn’t see a single tear from Yang Shirui.
Yes, it’s real, this is his authentically troublesome daughter.
The Great Elder’s mouth twitched, starting to coax her, "Come on, good daughter, don’t be angry, I’ll go talk to the Sect Leader about this."
Just momentarily wailing, Yang Shirui immediately stopped the noise, smiled sweetly at the Great Elder and said, "Then dad, thank you for your trouble."
The Great Elder: "..."
Yinglong watched the scene with great interest from the mirror.
"Who would have thought. That curly-haired lad could actually make such a capricious fool suddenly grow up." Yinglong sighed.
Kong Hou widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Turns out this task isn’t a cliché betrayed by fiancée story, thank goodness such a thing didn’t happen."
"After all, this is a cultivation world, most cultivators focus solely on the path. Besides, we never undertook those clichéd tasks. This time surely won’t either." Dong Xiao whispered to explain to Kong Hou.
"True. Ah, now I’m even more curious what the task will be this time. What kind of wish will that cold human make?" Kong Hou asked curiously.
"I can’t guess either." Dong Xiao shook his head, "Human thoughts are the most complex of all things."
"Hey, little firebird, you’re right about that, human thoughts are the most complex in the world, I quite agree with this." Yinglong nodded in agreement.
Dong Xiao coldly glanced at him upon hearing this nickname, didn’t respond. If it wasn’t for the master being present, he would’ve beaten the old fellow up today.
Tianmiao chuckled softly, "I think I can roughly guess."
Kong Hou listened, wide-eyed looked eagerly at Tianmiao.
Tianmiao raised his eyebrows and asked Kong Hou, "Want to know?"
Kong Hou nodded like a pecking chick, Yinglong nodded vigorously as well, Dong Xiao also rarely nodded.
Tianmiao saw all three nodding, seemed quite pleased, after a while, slowly said, "But I don’t want to tell you."
The three collapsed backward.
Practically weeping.
Heartless master! X2
Heartless sir!
