Angel was stunned. She then jumped three meters away and clutched at her heart. Her blue eyes went round, and she looked at Xu Yangyi incredulously. âHusband, you were really going to kill your devoted wife?â
The words âdevoted wifeâ made Xu Yangyi completely lose his thoughts of attacking. He pulled back his sword and said calmly, âGet lost.â
âDad, heâs being mean to me!â The woman placed both her hands beside her mouth and shouted outside the restriction.
âThis Dao Master told you long ago that this man is a wild horse, but you insisted on coming to see.â
Another laugh was heard. In the next second, Xu Yangyiâs restriction loudly shattered apart.
âHuh?â At the same time the restriction broke, the eyes of a student talking with his teacher shone, and he cried out in surprise, âA sword! The real deal!â
âWhere? Oh, it really is a sword!â
âWhereâs it from? Hey, bro, your sword looks pretty real!â
âOh, dang, thatâs really cool! Where did you buy it? How much was it?â
Angel took a step back and batted her blue eyes. Her smiling face like a flower, she looked at Xu Yangyi. The meaning in her eyes was evident.
Letâs see what youâre going to do.
Xu Yangyi didnât even glance at her. Instead, he looked at the people talking. But in this instant, the Fishbowel Sword wasnât in his grasp. Instead, in a seemingly natural manner it was being passed around by the other students.
Where did this old monster come from anyways?!
he inwardly gritted his teeth and retrieved his sword.
His palms were moist with cold sweat, and he turned a deaf ear to the shouts and cries of the surrounding students. He walked straight out, but he fell right into a daze.
It was that teacher.
The other was underneath a tree with his hands in his pockets, leisurely watching him.
And he did indeed recognize this person!
âJunior pays respects to Daomaster Yue.â Xu Yangyi immediately clasped his hands. Through the eidetic memory granted by the butterfly pill spirit, he had long since remembered this person.
Daomaster Yue, Yue Congrao.
One of the two unrecorded Core Formation cultivators who had originally joined the Pill Dao auction in the past! A Core Formation cultivator who refuted tradition and strayed from the Dao!
Chinaâs utmost supreme!
Yes⊠Xu Yangyi recalled that Daomaster Yue had said he lived abroad back then, but he absolutely hadnât expected that Daomaster Yue was in New York. Moreover, Daomaster Yue was the one to brazenly attack during the auction back then. Still, Xu Yangyi didnât put in any stock in the idea that this seemingly harmless teacher was really harmless.
âYou may dispense your courtesy.â Not the faintest wisp of Core Formation aura was coming from Yue Congrao. His expression seemed to lift the heavy as if it was light, and he said indifferently, âRelax, old ghost Ancientpine asked me about you a few days ago.â
Xu Yangyiâs cupped fist coolly tightened.
âNo need to be nervous.â Yue Congraoâs gaze lightly brushed over Xu Yangyiâs fist. âI have no plans of tossing you out,â he murmured, âfor now.â
âDaomaster YueâŠâ
âCall him father-in-law.â By some unknown means, Angel had run in front of Xu Yangyi. As he was bowing, Angel gently took his hand and also paid respects at the same time. Afterwards, she began to giggle and darted behind Yue Congrao like a canary. âHusband and wife pay respects, the ceremony is completed!â
âWhen did we get married?â
âAngel.â A different expression finally appeared on Yue Congraoâs face. He was gentle like a cloud in the sky. âBe good and wait later.â
In the moment Angel turned her head to look at Yue Congrao, her face instantly transformed from a graceful canary to a cruel eagle. âI still have to wait?! Iâve waited for over twenty years! No one even dares to marry meâŠâ
As she said this, she quickly went mute and glanced at Xu Yangyi. With conviction in her voice, she said, âFor over twenty years, no oneâs been sweet on me! You still want me to wait?!â
Hey, girl, are you really trying to make me go deaf?
Xu Yangyi pursed his lips, and his heart relaxed at last. Daomaster Yue didnât seem to have any ill intentions towards him.
âBe good, itâs been so long already, so it doesnât matter if you wait a little longer.â Yue Congrao tenderly caressed her hair. Xu Yangyi went ramrod-straight and shot them a look. In an instant, he became very quick on the uptake. âShe⊠is your daughter, sir?â
âShe is my only daughter. Angel Dracul. Her Chinese name is Yue Lingwei.â Yue Congrao stowed his gaze. As he looked at Xu Yangyi, his face swiftly transitioned into a flat expression again. âCome. Iâve found you today not for this matter.â
Xu Yangyi nodded and followed. Angel, though, hopped over to his side, and her hand pulled onto his arm. From the beginning, she acted quite familiarly.
âWe donât seem to be familiar.â Xu Yangyi didnât hide his rejection at all, and wordlessly brushed her hand away.
âHow many times does it take to get familiar?â Angelâs smile was perfect, and she grabbed onto his arm again.
Xu Yangyi brushed her aside.
But she came back and pulled his arm again.
Like a Taiji, the two of them pushed against each other for quite a while. Yue Congraoâs impatient voice sounded from ahead. âFollow me.â
Without missing a beat, Angel arrogantly raised her chin and looked at Xu Yangyi who had given up. Her hand slowly grabbed onto his arm and then her entire body followed and leaned against him.
Endure it.
He couldnât afford to provoke a Core Formation masterâs daughter.
Once they walked no less than ten meters, he sighed, âMs. YueâŠâ
Glistening teardrops flashed in Angelâs eyes, and she gave him a deep look. âWhen we watched the moon in those days, you also called me your little sweetâŠâ
[1]
Upon hearing Xu Yangyi long silence, Angel began to giggle in his embrace. Her waist, which could be fully grasped with one hand, curved back.
âGiggle⊠youâre really easy to tease. Iâm joking! And you believed it too! Just call me Angel.â
Xu Yangyiâs face twitched a little.
Daomaster Yue was different from the other Dao Masters. From his past auction, he knew this. Nonetheless, Xu Yangyi certainly hadnât expected that Daomaster Yue would teach his daughter to be so marvelous⊠no, clearly weird to the bone.
Although she was as beautiful as a white swan, Xu Yangyi didnât like her temperament.
He preferred a refined, elegant eastern woman with a slight traditional air.
This white swan was a little too lively⊠She was the type to walk through the pond to splash you with water.
Angel hung onto Xu Yangyi, and they entered a somewhat old building. What surprised Xu Yangyi, though, were the ten-odd plainclothes bodyguards who watched him from the left and right of the building.
Yue Congrao unhurriedly walked into a room. The inside was decorated in an ancient style. He didnât call on Xu Yangyi to sit. Instead, he gently beckoned and a cup of green tea flew over.
Clap!
As the cup of tea flew through the air, a jade hand caught it. As a Core Formation master, not even Yue Congrao expected that his tea would be snatched away in the air.
However, Angel had done it.
âDrink some tea.â She delicately crouched halfway and pulled Xu Yangyi to sit down on a bamboo chair.
Xu Yangyi truly didnât dare to drink this tea.
Because Daomaster Yueâs gaze was already inflicting upon him the endless torture of a thousand cuts.
âThat is fatherâs teacup.â Eventually, the crook of Yue Congraoâs mouth twitched a little. He waved his hand, and a second cup reluctantly flew over. Xu Yangyi could hear the extreme unwillingness in his voice. âMhm.â
Yue Congrao didnât even drink, opting to grunt instead.
Which Foundation Establishment cultivator would drink tea in front of a Core Formation cultivator?
âDonât mind him.â Angel shot a glare at Yue Congrao, and a perfect, graceful fatherly smile promptly appeared on Yue Congraoâs face. He even made an inviting gesture towards Xu Yangyi.
Xu Yangyiâs lips smoothed intro a straight line, only to quell the beating of his moderately fearful heart.
âAngel.â Yue Congraoâs voice was soft like velvet. âHow about you step out first? Daddy will find you later.â
Angel glanced at Xu Yangyi and laughed, âOkay.â
âBut I donât like his mask.â
âHaha, then he doesnât have to wear it.â Yue Congrao laughed and gently snapped his fingers. The Thousand Illusions on Xu Yangyiâs face vanished, as if it had sprouted wings and flown away.
Sword-like brows, starry eyes, and a nose bridge like a blade. Lips that were neither thin nor full, and a scar under Xu Yangyiâs eye that gave him a somewhat more wild nature. The light of Angelâs eyes shone, and then a faint blush appeared on her face.
âI like.â
The gaze that Yue Congrao looked at Xu Yangy with became even worse.
âHold onâŠâ Just about to leave, Angel suddenly fell into a daze. She crouched down in front of Xu Yangyi and extended her alabaster-white hand and stroked the scar under his eyes. âThis⊠Who did this?â
âWho dared to attack my future husband?!â
âDad! What are you still sitting for! Hurry and help me exterminate that guy!â
âHow about you head out firstâŠâ Xu Yangyi laughed, âIâll find you later.â
He could already see the ominous light blazing in Yue Congraoâs eyes.
âOkay.â Angel seemed to have never been affected. She turned her head around and smiled. âYou said so, so Iâll wait for you. I donât like people who miss appointments.â
In that case, he definitely wouldnât come.
The clack of high heels gradually became more distant. Yue Congrao sipped his tea and firmly pounded it on a small table beside him.
âI thinkâŠâ He turned his head to look at Xu Yangyi and smiled, âYouâre a smart person.â
âYes.â Xu Yangyi was willing to go with the flow. âJunior didnât see a thing.â
Yue Congrao smiled, âThen what do you think about my daughter? Does she suit you?â
âNoâŠâ
âHmm?â
As soon as Xu Yangyi spoke, Yue Congraoâs gaze cut across like a blade. Xu Yangyi wanted to fake it and say that she did, but this time he didnât speak.
âSince youâre not speaking does that mean you feel she isnât?â Yue Congraoâs expression grew a shade darker, and he slowly got up. By each inch he stood up, Xu Yangyi felt a great mountain pressing down on his shoulders. His bones were audibly cracking!
This
was a Core Formation Dao Master.
Core Formation could not be disgraced. Whoever did so died.
His face a little while ago was merely the appearance covering his identity as Daomaster Yue Congrao, and only Angel could see it.
Still, Xu Yangyi remained silent as before.
Thud!
Xu Yangyi was pressured to the ground by a massive spiritual pressure, his knee touching the floor. Yue Congrao said indifferently, âIf you marry her, I wonât kill you.â
There was no reply.
âYou know not of life or death,â Yue Congrao coldly snorted. In the next second, the massive pressure rumbled and hit the peak.
Crack! Crack!
Xu Yangyiâs entire body was pressed into the ground by his knees, but he still didnât utter a word.
But in an instant, all the spiritual pressure vanished.
âSit.â Yue Congraoâs gaze minutely flickered. âNow, you have the qualifications to sit.â
âWhy are you unwilling to speak?â
Xu Yangyi heaved out a long sigh and felt his bones ache dully. He gritted his teeth and said, âIf Senior kills Junior, it would be as easy as lifting your hand. You wouldnât need to waste energy like this. I feel that Senior wouldnât kill me.â
âAnd my character is quite bad. There are somethings you just donât want.â
Yue Congrao didnât reply, but he said after a long time, âIs it Nanzhou?â
Xu Yangyi didnât reply.
âIt should be⊠The matter of Nanzhou, regardless of who is right and who is wrong, perhaps everyone has done wrongâŠâ
âDaomaster Yue.â Xu Yangyi lowered his head and said in a heavy voice, âMe and my brothers gambled our lives to conquer a heavenly paradise. How many died? But in the end, what was exchanged?â
âNot the yearning dream of cultivation, but rather a blade, one that my own master-ancestor wielded.â
âI have no wrongs.â
