Chapter 2082: Chapter 2082: She Really Is a Treasure
Clearly, it was her father who had the Tenth Elder bring her back, wasn’t it just to have her meet the prestigious guest from Wulong Mountain? So why is her father upset now that she has arrived?
“Father, who is this gentleman? He’s so handsome that I, your daughter… Ah!”
Before she could finish her shameless words, Sect Master Xue stopped her with a slap, utterly embarrassed to hear more.
“Get out of my sight, and you lot, what are you waiting for? Drag her out to the Ancestral Shrine, don’t let her out without my direct order, and don’t you dare bring her food!”
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, wasn’t 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 Heart’s man?
“No, no, Father, I haven’t finished speaking, I…”
As Xue Manyu was dragged out by two female disciples, she attempted to speak out.
“Cover her mouth!”
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.
“Mmm, mmm!”
The disciples did not dare to delay, covering Xue Manyu’s mouth and dragging her out.
Soon, the room door closed again, shutting out the external noise, and An Jiuyue’s gaze remained fixed on Sect Master Xue.
“High… 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 daughter’s words,” said Sect Master Xue, his back already soaked with cold sweat as he cautiously spoke.
“Your daughter, Sect Master Xue, is quite the treasure. In all my travels across the planes, it’s the first time someone has dared covet my husband. I must say, your daughter has certainly left an impression,” An Jiuyue said, carefully examining the Snow Heart in her hand, while addressing Sect Master Xue.
Sect Master Xue: “!”
Having such a daughter was indeed tough for him to deal with.
But at the end of it all, she was his daughter; he couldn’t 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.
“Don’t be angry.”
Qian Jiyun gently rubbed the top of her head a few times.
“The people below don’t understand propriety. A lesson is sufficient; there’s no need to harm yourself over this,” he said.
The message couldn’t 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.
“High Priest, I will surely punish that unfilial daughter strictly and ensure she will never appear before you again,” he assured An Jiuyue.
Upon hearing Sect Master Xue’s words, Xue Jue indifferently curled his lips and stayed quiet.
He had seen his father’s 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.
