29: Chapter 29 Father, how could you lie to this little girl like this?

The scene was silent for a moment.

Everyone was waiting for True Monarch Qingyun, the Sect Master's, reaction.

Would he admit defeat, or would he spend lavishly?

Bai Ji's eyes were firm; he could not let his Revered Master admit defeat.

Nor could he let his Revered Master spend lavishly for a mere Su Xin, who was already crippled.

Even if his Revered Master didn't have to worry about the poison and could force it out, his Foundation was still damaged.

After this, who knew how many good things would be needed to restore his Foundation.

The Spirit Stones required for this would be an enormous sum.

Bai Ji whispered to True Monarch Qingyun, "Revered Master, Su Xin has already been struck by your disciple with a spirit devouring seed and can no longer Cultivate for life. He is already a cripple, so there's no need for us to bother with him anymore."

A flicker of satisfaction passed through True Monarch Qingyun's eyes.

He lightly patted his disciple's shoulder and snorted, "Since you, my disciple, have already punished him, then let him continue to linger on."

"However, my Qingyun Sect will never keep someone who dares to lay a poisonous hand on a Senior Brother of the same Sect."

"Su Xin, this Sect Master hereby expels you from the Sect. From now on, you shall not step foot into my Qingyun Sect!"

Su Xin sneered, "Gladly!"

True Monarch Qingyun snorted, not looking at anyone else. He performed a Sleeve of the Universe technique, swept Bai Ji into his sleeve, and flew away.

It wasn't until he left that the quiet and solemn Qingyun City came back to life.

Luo Yunkai immediately jumped off Ye Wang's Flying Sword and rushed into the Canopy Bed.

Xiao Tian was still in a daze. Seeing Luo Yunkai, he opened his mouth but couldn't utter the word 'Dad'.

Su Xin was even less likely to call him 'Dad'. He didn't even look at Luo Yunkai, instead gazing at Xiao Tian with a hint of worry. Seeing him in a daze, his brows furrowed.

Luo Yunkai lightly coughed, "Tian'er, I'll explain this later, but now the most important thing is Little Xin."

Su Xin felt a chill, "Don't call me that."

How come he never noticed that the two words 'Little Xin' were so sickeningly sweet? His mother called him that, but he never felt this way.

Luo Yunkai awkwardly rubbed his nose, "Then I'll call you A-Xin."

Su Xin didn't say anything, tacitly agreeing.

He actually didn't know how to get along with Luo Yunkai. He didn't want to acknowledge him, but Luo Yunkai had indeed spent millions of Spirit Stones for him.

Thinking of this, Su Xin said dully, "I'll return the Spirit Stones to you later."

Luo Yunkai understood Su Xin, this Cheap son. The days they spent together at the auction were not in vain.

"Alright, I'll wait for you to return them."

Su Xin fell silent again.

He remembered. He had been afflicted with a spirit devouring seed and was now a cripple. He probably couldn't repay the Spirit Stones.

"Little Xin, and Mother, Mother will give you..." Su Ninger rushed over. Knowing her son well, she understood what he was thinking and immediately wanted to take on the Spirit Stone debt.

"You're already so old, yet you still want your mother to bear your debts. That's truly unfilial." Luo Yunkai interrupted Su Ninger's attempt to take on the debt.

Su Ninger immediately glared at Luo Yunkai, "I know you resent me for leaving without a word back then, but Little Xin is innocent! He's already suffering greatly now. Whatever you have, take it out on me, don't make things difficult for my son!"

Luo Yunkai met the woman's furious yet still graceful face, tugged at his long white beard near his chest, and awkwardly rubbed his nose.

It wasn't just her fault back then.

He was also at fault. He deceived a young maiden, claiming to be in his twenties, got her into bed, then went out and came back to find her gone. He didn't even look for her, even feeling secretly glad that his age wouldn't be exposed.

"Cough, I never blamed you. I, I also deceived you."

Upon hearing this and seeing Luo Yunkai's current appearance, Su Ninger's repressed tears instantly burst forth.

"You, you scoundrel, sob... You lied to me! You clearly said you were only twenty-five, you big liar! You're clearly over fifty, but you lied that you were only twenty-five, sob, sob, sob..."

Xiao Tian looked at his Dad in disbelief, his eyes clearly questioning.

Dad, are you really deceiving young girls like this?

Luo Yunkai was full of embarrassment, watching Su Ninger cry like a pear blossom bathed in rain, standing there at a loss.

Xiao Tian saw his Dad occasionally glance at him, as if weighing his attitude, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Looking at his good brother who was still lying down, Xiao Tian turned his face away, "Dad, quickly tell Aunt Su to stop crying. Don't let Su Xin worry, he's still injured."

Luo Yunkai acted as if he had received an imperial decree, came to Su Ninger's side, raised his hand, and embraced her slender waist.

The delicate touch made Luo Yunkai's heart flutter. After all these years, Su Ninger's waist was still so soft.

With a gentle pull, the person who couldn't stop crying was embraced by him.

With a warm, soft beauty in his arms, Luo Yunkai had no mind for romance.

His shoulder was soaked with tears, scalding him and making him sigh repeatedly.

"Alright, stop crying. It's all my fault. I lied to you, it's my mistake, alright?"

Su Ninger buried her face in Luo Yunkai's shoulder, crying even more sadly.

"You scoundrel, don't you know you ruined me! You ruined me!"

Luo Yunkai looked innocent. He just lied about his age to Su Ninger, how did that ruin her?

"I was wondering why Ninger, in her prime, had so little Lifespan left. So, her object of affection was you."

A voice laced with a hint of sigh instantly made Luo Yunkai alert.

The voice was simply too enchanting, and too close!

Behind him, at some unknown point, stood a red-clad Beauty.

Luo Yunkai took one look and was startled.

This was the first time he had seen a mini-skirt in the Cultivation World!

Yes, Beauty Yu was wearing a mini-skirt that only reached her upper thighs, revealing her entire fair, long legs. Not entirely, though.

Behind the mini-skirt, a long red sheer fabric draped down to her ankles. The light red fabric fluttered in the wind, sometimes wrapping around, sometimes moving away from her fair, beautiful legs.

Extreme beauty, extreme allure.

Luo Yunkai's eyes subtly swept over those beautiful legs.

Beauty Yu let out a light laugh, her left leg slightly bent in an arc, further showcasing the advantages of her long legs.

Her red lips parted slightly, her breath like orchids, "Do you know what it means for a Mandarin Duck Pavilion girl to fall in love?"

Luo Yunkai took a deep breath, pulling his scattered thoughts back. His gaze fell upon Beauty Yu's stunning face, his eyes calm and unperturbed.

"What does it mean?"

Beauty Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, a little surprised.

No wonder Su Ninger fell for him, was charmed by his sweet talk, and completely fell into his trap.

"It means she purified her Spiritual Root for you once. It means that before she reaches Foundation Establishment, and before you reach Foundation Establishment, her life is connected to yours."

Luo Yunkai's pupils contracted violently, and the hand around Su Ninger's waist tightened involuntarily.

He lowered his head, looking at the crown of Su Ninger's head, and suddenly understood, "So, you were always so concerned about my age and my Spiritual Root. So that's how it is..."

His face was full of complexity, "Why didn't you find someone with good Spiritual Root talent? Instead, you found a Loose Cultivator like me with ordinary Spiritual Root talent?"

Back then, he falsified his age and Spiritual Root, but he didn't dare to go too far, only claiming to have a Four Spiritual Root.

Luo Yunkai was very sure that Su Ninger had first confirmed his conditions before 'capturing' him.

Beauty Yu sighed softly, "Couldn't find one."

Luo Yunkai fell silent. The word "couldn't" held a lot of meaning.
