Chapter 2109: You Unfilial Daughter!
Chapter 2109: Chapter 2109: You Unfilial Daughter!
If a disciple were to come over, the footsteps would definitely not be this light; these footsteps sound more like someone trying to hide something, not wanting to be discovered, it seems…
“Master Qian, are you there?”
Before he could dwell on his confusion, he heard a voice from outside the door— one he was all too familiar with.
His face turned green as he internally exclaimed in dismay. It was Xue Manyu’s voice— if he couldn’t recognize it, then he didn’t deserve to be called a father.
Wasn’t she confined to the Ancestral Shrine? How could she have escaped?
And of all places to go, she had to come here and look for Master Qian!
It didn’t take much thinking to figure out what she had in mind.
Had the previous scolding and punishment done nothing to teach her a lesson? Had they only made her even more defiant? How did he end up with such a daughter?
He awkwardly looked up at Qian Jiyun, noticing that the latter hadn’t even given him half a glance.
“Sect Master Xue really has raised a good daughter,” Yuu Rong said to Sect Master Xue with a cold snicker, his words heavy with sarcasm.
“Uh.”
Sect Master Xue felt a discomfort in his heart as if it was being pricked by needles, wishing he could just find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
It seemed that Master Qian asking Yuu Rong to call him over wasn’t to discuss any matter but to wait here for his irresponsible daughter.
So, that meant her climbing over the wall to get here wasn’t to avoid High Priest Demon Heart either?
He was certain that just a moment ago, Xue Manyu was definitely hiding outside the yard, waiting for a chance to slip in and reach Master Qian to do something.
And there he was, oblivious to everything, foolishly following Yuu Rong here.
“Who is outside?” Qian Jiyun’s voice resonated.
“Master Qian, it’s me, the third young miss of the Tufeng Sect, Xue Manyu. Master Qian, please open the door, Manyu has very important matters to discuss with you.”
Outside, Xue Manyu deliberately lowered her voice, her coquettish tone almost made Sect Master Xue in the room feel sick enough to vomit blood.
Goosebumps covered his body, and had Qian Jiyun not been in front of him, he would have charged out to harshly discipline his outrageous daughter.
Inside the room, there was a prolonged silence; Qian Jiyun also did not respond to Xue Manyu’s words, nor did he invite her in.
“Master Qian, Master Qian?”
Xue Manyu, seemingly unable to wait any longer outside, feared that the disciple who had just left might return and discover her. Not waiting for Qian Jiyun to speak, she directly pushed the door open and entered.
“Master Qian, you’ve had a tough journey. Manyu is here on my father’s orders to serve you, and… Father?!”
As she walked in, carrying a shy look on her face, she looked up at the people inside the room, and the first person she saw was her father, Sect Master Xue.
Xue Manyu’s expression immediately soured, letting out a scream of fright as she halted in her steps.
Wasn’t Master Qian supposed to be here alone? How could her father be here?
She had been watchful outside for so long and had not seen her father enter. Plus, she had made sure earlier that her father was in the Literary Palace.
Sect Master Xue could no longer hold back. He rushed forward and slapped his daughter across her face.
“You wretched girl!”
Xue Manyu was stunned, numbly feeling the burning pain on her face.
It took her a moment to come back to her senses, then she covered her face with her hand, looking at her father in disbelief, “Father, you hit me again?”
