367: How dare you be so arrogant?
The Senior Sister's father arrived as scheduled, accompanied by a man and a woman.
Lin Ye activated his Star Eyes to observe the strength of the three: their specific combat power was difficult to assess, but the Senior Sister's father had been a Dominator for many years, and his Divine Kingdom was solid and powerful, so his combat power must be extraordinary; as for the woman, she had also entered the Dominator realm some time ago, but she was far from being as strong as the Senior Sister's father; the man was the weakest, his Divine Kingdom newly established, probably not even reaching Dominator One-Star.
"Barbara, my daughter, you've suffered," the man said, his face full of emotion as he tried to embrace the Senior Sister, wanting to express the long-unseen affection and reluctance.
However, the Senior Sister seemed unaccustomed to such emotional displays; she frowned and dodged her father's embrace.
"After abandoning your wife and child all these years, you now put on such a hypocritical act. Why did you do it back then?" Bai Qi stepped forward, blocking the Senior Sister's father.
To be safe, Bai Qi and Feng were both called here. Usually, Bai Qi didn't talk much, but he was warm-hearted and very protective. When he saw his Junior Sister encountering such a shameless father, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and wanted to teach this irresponsible person a good lesson.
Feng stood by with cupped fists, his face cold.
"This is my family matter, who are you?" The man's face was displeased as he feigned ignorance.
In truth, he already knew Bai Qi's identity; he had inquired about all of Barbara's information.
A powerful aura emanated from him.
"Between Dominator Two-Star and Three-Star," Lin Ye thought, making a quick assessment.
Feng released his aura, confronting him.
The two were evenly matched; neither could do anything to the other.
The man secretly thought, "Trouble."
His expression shifted to one of sorrow, "Our father-daughter reunion is a joyous occasion, why must you obstruct it?"
Barbara raised an eyebrow, "Joyous occasion? I never said I wanted to acknowledge you."
"Barbara, I know I'm sorry for these things, but as a father, I also had my unspoken difficulties. I didn't deliberately abandon you and your mother back then; it was just that family matters were complicated, and I couldn't get away," the man said with a sad expression.
Barbara scoffed, "Hmph! That's easy for you to say. All these years, have you ever looked for me?"
The man sighed, "Barbara, your father also had his hardships. Family affairs were busy, and I truly couldn't spare the time to look for you. Now that I've finally found you, I just want to compensate you properly."
"Compensate? With what?" Barbara looked at the man coldly.
The man quickly said, "As long as you return to the family with me, I will give you the best cultivation resources and make you a core disciple of the family."
A hint of disdain flashed in Barbara's eyes, "No need, I don't need your charity."
"Barbara, don't be so stubborn. Do you know who I am?" The man said, somewhat angrily.
"Oh? And who are you?" Barbara was unfazed.
"I am an Elder of the Moluo family. If you can return to the family, not only can you enjoy wealth and honor, but you can also receive the family's cultivation, and your future achievements will be limitless," the man said confidently.
Barbara, however, was unmoved, "Moluo family? Never heard of it."
"The Moluo family is a great family. You will definitely not suffer by joining it. It can also be considered my compensation to you. You two, mother and daughter, have truly suffered."
"Humes, don't be so shameless. Isn't it just because I've advanced to Dominator that you see a profit?" Barbara gnashed her teeth.
"What kind of matter can entangle someone for hundreds of thousands of years? Even a person with a wolf's heart and a dog's guts wouldn't do such a thing," Lin Ye said.
If he let the Senior Sister confront that old fox, she would suffer sooner or later.
Lin Ye naturally wouldn't allow this.
"You Galaxy Lord lineage are not good at verbal combat. When you see someone you can't reason with, just fight."
Lin Ye remembered the reminder from Hu.
Their lineage had long been in a relatively remote area of the universe, with too little scheming and infighting.
"Who are you? A mere Stellar River Level dares to speak to my uncle."
The man accompanying Humes spoke.
Lin Ye knew him: Didar, Humes's nephew, the man who wanted to marry the Senior Sister.
The moment he saw Barbara, he was captivated by her.
"I didn't expect such a beautiful woman with such temperament could be cultivated in this place. That's right, Uncle's genes are so good, Qin-mei is so beautiful, but unfortunately, Qin-mei doesn't fancy me."
After seeing Barbara, he couldn't take his eyes off her, secretly glad that his uncle had arranged such a good marriage for him.
Therefore, when Lin Ye spoke, he proactively defended his uncle.
Whoever dared to ruin this marriage was his, Didar's, enemy.
"Who are you? You have no right to speak here," Lin Ye retorted.
"I am Barbara's fiancé, why do I have no right to speak?"
"Shameless! Did my Senior Sister agree? You're just trying to glorify yourself, without even looking in a mirror."
"You..."
Before Didar could speak.
"Silence! We are here to reunite with family, not to quarrel," Humes interrupted him.
If this continued, the matter would likely fall through, and he would have to resort to unconventional means.
Those means could not be used unless absolutely necessary; currently, the Universe Alliance was cracking down on such actions quite severely.
Didar retreated but firmly remembered Lin Ye.
"Barbara, even if your father is at fault, your sister is not, right? This is your twin sister, Qin."
The woman accompanying him had been very emotional and couldn't help but step forward and embrace Barbara at this moment.
"Sister."
Barbara was stunned. The genuine emotion emanating from the woman made her realize that she was different from her hypocritical father.
"Sister."
The two sisters recognized each other, and for a moment, their emotions overflowed.
Feng, Bai Qi, and Lin Ye did not stop them. This woman showed genuine emotion as soon as she arrived, clearly not like her father.
"Qin, persuade your sister more," Humes said.
Qin seemed to have a thousand words she wanted to pour out, but at this moment, she found it difficult to express them. Her feelings were complex, her heart filled with various emotions and thoughts.
But she was interrupted by her shameless father.
"No need. I think my sister is right. Instead of becoming a tool for your alliances, it's better not to acknowledge each other from now on. Go and use your other seventeen daughters for alliances."
Lin Ye didn't expect the Senior Sister's sister to be on the Senior Sister's side, and his attitude towards her instantly changed.
An ally? Then it's fine.
The others in the field also seemed extremely surprised by this.
Especially Didar; he panicked.
"Sister Qin, why do you say that? Uncle is your biological father after all. And I am also an excellent person; marrying Barbara wouldn't be an insult to her, would it?"
"Excellent?" Barbara seized on this phrase.
You came to my door, didn't you? I was just thinking about how to teach you a lesson.
"You're probably not even as good as my Junior Brother, how do you have the face to say that?" Barbara retorted directly.
"What? You say I'm not as good as a Stellar River Level?"
