Chapter 2082: Chapter 2082: She Really Is a Treasure
Clearly, it was her father who had the Tenth Elder bring her back, wasnât it just to have her meet the prestigious guest from Wulong Mountain? So why is her father upset now that she has arrived?
âFather, who is this gentleman? Heâs so handsome that I, your daughter⊠Ah!â
Before she could finish her shameless words, Sect Master Xue stopped her with a slap, utterly embarrassed to hear more.
âGet out of my sight, and you lot, what are you waiting for? Drag her out to the Ancestral Shrine, donât let her out without my direct order, and donât you dare bring her food!â
This daughter was driving him to his grave with her audacity to say anything.
He was sure, had he not slapped her, Xue Manyu would have next declared her fancy for Qian Jiyun, wasnât that the case?
How did he end up with such a daughter? It was bad enough that she had completely disgraced him at the foot of the mountain, but now she wanted to make him lose face in front of High Priest Demon Heart?
Losing face was one thing, but was she trying to get him killed?
How many heads does one need to dare covet High Priest Demon Heartâs man?
âNo, no, Father, I havenât finished speaking, IâŠâ
As Xue Manyu was dragged out by two female disciples, she attempted to speak out.
âCover her mouth!â
The Young Sect Master Xue Jue secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and instructed the disciples.
His third sister must surely have lost her mind, even their father dared not raise his voice in front of the people of Wulong Mountain, yet Xue Manyu dared to entertain such thoughts; he was truly at a loss for words.
âMmm, mmm!â
The disciples did not dare to delay, covering Xue Manyuâs mouth and dragging her out.
Soon, the room door closed again, shutting out the external noise, and An Jiuyueâs gaze remained fixed on Sect Master Xue.
âHigh⊠High Priest, it is my failure as a father in discipline. I hope the High Priest can be magnanimous and not take offense at my daughterâs words,â said Sect Master Xue, his back already soaked with cold sweat as he cautiously spoke.
âYour daughter, Sect Master Xue, is quite the treasure. In all my travels across the planes, itâs the first time someone has dared covet my husband. I must say, your daughter has certainly left an impression,â An Jiuyue said, carefully examining the Snow Heart in her hand, while addressing Sect Master Xue.
Sect Master Xue: â!â
Having such a daughter was indeed tough for him to deal with.
But at the end of it all, she was his daughter; he couldnât just beat her to death, right? It was his duty as a father to take responsibility.
Faced with the questioning of High Priest Demon Heart, he was utterly lost for words. What could he say? His daughter truly was as described.
âDonât be angry.â
Qian Jiyun gently rubbed the top of her head a few times.
âThe people below donât understand propriety. A lesson is sufficient; thereâs no need to harm yourself over this,â he said.
The message couldnât be clearer. Xue Manyu had openly offended them, and they could easily decide whether her punishment of kneeling in the Ancestral Shrine was lenient enough.
Sect Master Xue was quick to understand.
âHigh Priest, I will surely punish that unfilial daughter strictly and ensure she will never appear before you again,â he assured An Jiuyue.
Upon hearing Sect Master Xueâs words, Xue Jue indifferently curled his lips and stayed quiet.
He had seen his fatherâs inconsistent attitude of severity and leniency too many times, and he had always thought, if he ever had such a daughter, it might be better to end her life than letting her bring disaster outside.
