Invincible Dad-Chapter 561 He Doesn’t Understand the Romance of Flowers and Snow_1
Chapter 561: Chapter 561 He Doesn’t Understand the Romance of Flowers and Snow_1
"Blade Sect’s Wang An."
"Lingyun Pavilion’s Zhou Chi."
"Red Fire Pavilion’s Lie Xing."
"Heavenly Snow Pavilion’s Shen Dongxue! I will certainly repay you for saving my life one day!"
Accompanied by eleven immature voices, eleven youths knelt on one knee in unison, performing the Martial Dao salute.
Xu Lai nodded slightly.
Knowing their place and when to advance or retreat, this group of youngsters wasn’t a lost cause.
However, what made Bai Yuan and the others anxious was that neither Xu Yiyi nor Qian Xiao had told them to rise. They were in an awkward position. Standing up seemed inappropriate, while continuing to kneel on one knee also felt rather strange.
Just as Bai Yuan was about to ask, she heard Qian Xiao whispering to Xu Yiyi, "Boss, something’s not right. With one faction, three sects, and nine pavilions, there should be thirteen people."
"One, two, three, four... eleven. There are only eleven here," Xu Yiyi said.
"The other two aren’t convinced."
Qian Xiao huffed coldly, "Their hearts aren’t sincere, so I won’t forgive them!"
"..."
Bai Yuan was left speechless.
She helplessly explained, "Deng Shu from the Penglai Sword Pavilion died. As for the Yunxiao Sect, they didn’t send any disciples to participate in the earlier Martial Dao Convention or the subsequent secret realm trial."
"The Yunxiao Sect’s strength is at the forefront of the thirteen Cultivation Holy Lands, and they are the most mysterious. For millennia, only a handful of their disciples have appeared in the world. Their Sect Gate is rumored to be established atop Cloud Summit."
A girl with a very round face spoke crisply; she was Shen Dongxue, a disciple of the Heavenly Snow Pavilion.
When speaking of the most mysterious Yunxiao Sect, these disciples from the various Sect Gates actually showed a sense of longing.
"So, do the disciples of the Yunxiao Sect think you’re all too weak and have never wanted to play with you from the very beginning?" Qian Xiao analyzed seriously.
Bai Yuan glared at Qian Xiao, her cheeks puffed with anger. "We came here sincerely to express our gratitude. Do you wish to fight us?"
"Uncle Xu, they want to fight me and Sister Yiyi."
"..."
Shameless Qian Xiao!
The group of boys and girls was utterly frustrated.
Xu Lai waved his hand. "Alright, that’s enough. Go on back. Don’t kneel in the middle of the road and block traffic."
"Yes, Senior."
Bai Yuan and the others hurriedly rose to their feet.
「On the way home.」
Xu Yiyi spoke cautiously, "Daddy, will Deng Shu’s matter cause you trouble? The Penglai Sword Pavilion seems very strong."
"Yiyi, as long as you’re not harming the innocent, you can strike without worry. Even if the sky falls, your dad will be here to hold it up for you."
Xu Lai smiled. "And you must also trust the sword in your hand."
Xu Yiyi spread her empty hands and said meekly, "I don’t have a sword."
In Xu Lai’s eyes, the wind was a sword, the rain was a sword, and even a ray of sunlight or a sliver of moonlight was a sword. Everything could be a sword!
Xu Lai hadn’t taught his daughter his insights into swordsmanship. After all, the difference in their Boundaries was far too great, and she needed to comprehend everything slowly on her own.
He willed it with his Divine Sense.
A dark wooden sword appeared in Yiyi’s hands.
The wooden sword wasn’t heavy. On the contrary, it was very light. It felt immensely heavy to Xu Yiyi, however, because Xu Lai’s hand was on it, gripping it tightly.
Xu Yiyi said timidly, "Daddy..."
Xu Lai returned to his senses and said softly, "Use this sword from now on. Take good care of it."
This sword was named Heavenly Court.
It was the sword his master had once used to discipline Xu Lai, his senior sister, and his two senior brothers.
When the Sect Gate collapsed, Xu Lai had used this very sword to exterminate the Hehuan Valley.
Later, Xu Lai placed the wooden sword in his Storage Space and never took it out again.
Xu Yiyi didn’t know the story of this sword, but from the depths of her father’s eyes, she saw his reluctance to part with it. She bobbed her little head.
"Daddy, I’ll take good care of it."
"Right, try not to let your martial aunt see it. It might bring back painful memories for her."
"Mhm, mhm."
After giving his instructions, Xu Lai stomped on the accelerator, and the car roared off into the distance.
***
「Sakura Country.」
「Moon Sect Holy Island.」
Lying on her side in the room, Ji Jie squinted at the secret letter in her hand, her expression unreadable.
FWOOSH.
A flame appeared in her palm, burning the secret letter to ash.
"So, the Quasi-Emperor’s Tomb has appeared," Ji Jie murmured softly. "Dress me. I’m going to the East Sea to see Xu Lai."
She stood up.
Her slender, snow-white body exuded a fatal allure.
It caused the veiled young woman kneeling on the floor to look on with greed in her eyes. This was Ren Shi.
The Crown Princess’s most capable assistant and her most fanatical devotee.
As Ren Shi helped the Crown Princess dress, she boldly asked, "Crown Princess, has the Quasi-Emperor’s Tomb really appeared?"
"Mm, there’s a living Quasi-Emperor inside, and also a key," Ji Jie said.
"What?!"
Ren Shi’s voice was filled with shock. "There’s a living Quasi-Emperor? Then who could possibly get the key from a Quasi-Emperor?"
Ji Jie said a name. "Xu Lai."
"Crown Princess, you absolutely must not go to the East Sea!"
Ren Shi said anxiously, "Xu Lai’s boundary is unfathomable. He can get the key from a Quasi-Emperor, so what if he has improper designs on you..."
Ji Jie laughed like silver bells. "I would actually hope he’d have improper designs on me. A pity he doesn’t appreciate the romantic charms of the world."
A deeply concealed murderous intent flashed in the depths of Ren Shi’s eyes.
Her greatest dream in life was to be skinned and become the clothes worn by the Crown Princess. She would never dare to dream of any deeper sentiment with the Crown Princess!
Yet, that man was on the Crown Princess’s mind.
Whether it was love or hate, it made Ren Shi exceptionally jealous, so jealous that her face contorted.
"But Crown Princess, the order from the forbidden Sea of the Moon..." Ren Shi suppressed her jealousy, hinting but not elaborating.
Some time ago, a pure gold bracelet had floated out of the Sea of the Moon, along with three words written in blood—
Kill Xu Lai!
The Sea of the Moon on the actual Moon was once a place the lunar natives revered as a Holy Land, a place inhabited by Gods.
The Moon Clan had once sent experts to investigate. Not only did they find nothing, but all of them perished within it.
Afterward, the Sea of the Moon became a forbidden land.
"I once made a deal with Xu Lai. I traded Jing Ke’s address on Earth for a broken sword from the Quasi-Emperor’s Tomb," Ji Jie said coolly. "That sword can be exchanged for half a Nine Revolutions Immortal Pill. I intend to use this bracelet to make another deal with him."
"Crown Princess, you mustn’t—"
Ren Shi looked up abruptly, but before she could finish, Ji Jie seized her by her snow-white neck and lifted her into the air.
"My affairs do not require your input. Also, restrain your murderous intent toward Xu Lai. He is mine."
With a flick of her arm, Ji Jie slammed Ren Shi’s body against the wall.
TAP.
TAP.
TAP.
Dressed in a blood-red palace gown, Ji Jie left the sanctuary, the echo of her footsteps reverberating through the hall.
A long time passed before Ren Shi struggled to her feet and bowed respectfully in the direction Ji Jie had departed.
"Yes, my princess."
As she slowly lifted her head, her face showed no resentment, but rather an intense obsession.
***
「Seven o’clock in the evening.」
Haitang Court was bustling with activity.
Because the conch girl Beibei and Dragon Spirit Xiao Hai had returned from their ’advanced studies.’
Although her stay at Qingfeng Camp had been short, Beibei had gotten very tanned. The moment she saw Xu Yiyi, she burst into tears and threw herself at her.
