66: Father and daughter talk, on the eve of the league

"Alright, Father, I still need to Cultivate my Martial Skill, so I'll take my leave first."

Taking advantage of his silence, the Young Miss threw out a sentence and quickly moved away.

"You..."

Lu Ke still wanted to say something, but he saw that she had already disappeared.

"This girl, she's really becoming more and more arrogant."

While scolding her, he turned and bowed, saying, "My apologies, Young Master. My daughter has been spoiled since childhood, which has made her so arrogant and rude. She has offended you, so please don't take it to heart."

Lin Yuan chuckled, "She doesn't know my strength, so it's normal for her to react this way. I wouldn't stoop to bickering with an ignorant person."

Lu Ke echoed, "The Young Master is right. Once she knows your strength in the future, she will definitely be respectful and not dare to contradict you in the slightest."

"Hmm, have all the rules just now been explained? If there's nothing else, then I'll go Cultivate as well."

"All the rules have been explained. Since the Young Master wishes to Cultivate, my City Lord's Manor has a dedicated Cultivation room. Would you like to try it?"

"Sure, where is it?"

"I'll take you there."

Then, led by Lu Ke, Lin Yuan entered the Cultivation room and began to Cultivate with his eyes closed.

...

Late at night.

In the conference room.

"Father, is there something you need me for at this late hour?"

Lu Yichan received a message from her father and leisurely walked over to ask.

Lu Ke said angrily, "Isn't it because of your nonsense earlier? You must have left a bad impression on Young Master Lin."

"My nonsense? Father, what are you talking about..."

"Enough! Listen to me carefully, and don't talk back anymore!"

Seeing that he was truly angry, Lu Yichan no longer dared to refute, but instead asked doubtfully, "I truly don't understand why you value that boy so much? Is it just because he possesses a Divine Vein?"

"It's not just the Divine Vein; he also has a senior expert helping him from behind."

"Senior expert?"

"Yes, his Dao Protector is at least a Late Stage Core Formation Realm expert, and possibly even a Dao Platform Realm mighty figure."

Dao Platform Realm!

Lu Yichan's pretty face changed color, and she asked directly, "Are you sure there's such a person behind him?"

"Yes, after all, he is the owner of a Divine Vein. His identity is extraordinary, so naturally, he will have strong protectors."

"Then do you know his origin?"

"He said he came from a commoner background, and I don't know if it's true or false, but the matters of the Divine Vein and the Dao Protector are both true, so you must remember not to offend him again. Also, if it's convenient, apologize to him in person to ease the relationship."

"Make me apologize?"

Lu Yichan immediately showed reluctance, "I didn't say anything excessive. Is it really necessary to be so serious?"

"This is to make him have a good impression of you, so that you will have a chance to become friends and deepen your emotional connection."

"Ah? Deepen emotional connection? Do you mean you want me to be with him?"

"I do have that thought."

"You! Don't joke around. He's just a child who just opened his meridians. What right does he have to be my Dao Companion?"

"His current Cultivation is lower than yours, but what about in the future? With the power of the Divine Vein, he will eventually become a supreme expert. Will you still be able to be proud in front of him then?"

Her father's words left Lu Yichan speechless.

She had to admit that the Divine Vein was indeed stronger than her life bone.

But to make her humble herself to someone with a lower Realm than her was truly difficult to do.

Seeing his daughter suddenly fall silent, Lu Ke's tone gradually softened, "Perhaps I was a bit too hasty, but I mainly wanted to tell you that Lin Yuan's future will far exceed our imagination. Even if you can't be together, you must try your best to befriend him, understand?"

"...Mm, Chaner understands."

Lu Yichan nodded obediently and continued, "As you said, I won't offend him again, but getting me won't be that simple. It depends on his performance. If his strength can surpass mine in the future, then I will consider it."

Seeing her attitude, Lu Ke helplessly rubbed his forehead, secretly thinking, "If his strength surpasses yours, would he still consider you? Does she really think there are no other women in the world?"

Knowing that saying more was useless, he could only sigh, "Alright, it's good that you understand. It's getting late, hurry back and rest."

"Okay, Father."

After the Young Miss left, a Mei Fu entered from the side door, her face worried, "Husband, if you force Chaner like this, what if her future life isn't happy?"

Lu Ke scoffed, "Force? Young Master Lin's talent is extraordinary, and his appearance is unparalleled. What does she have to be forced about?"

"The Young Master is indeed excellent, but feelings aren't something that can be forced together."

"I know, that's why I told her to try her best to befriend the Young Master, not that it has to be Lin Yuan."

"Are you so eager because of the Unrestrained Sect matter?"

"Yes, the agreed time from back then is getting closer and closer. With my current Cultivation, I'm definitely not that guy's opponent. If I can get help from the person behind the Young Master, the crisis can be resolved easily."

"So you're going to sacrifice your daughter?"

"What do you mean sacrifice? It's her good fortune to humble herself to the Young Master. Once Lin Yuan's Divine Vein is exposed, do you know how many women would want to throw themselves at him?"

"That's true, but..."

"Alright, that's enough. I also need to tidy up and prepare to watch tomorrow's league."

...

The next day.

At dawn.

Lin Yuan and the others boarded the flying boat early. After an hour of travel, they successfully arrived at the outskirts of the Yunlan Mountains.

"For this league, you only need to kill third-tier Yao Beasts in the outer perimeter. There's no need to go too deep, otherwise, if you encounter high-tier Yao Beasts, you might not even have a chance to use a Teleportation Talisman."

While waiting before the competition, Lu Ke warned the two.

Lin Yuan nodded, "Okay, we'll be careful."

He and the Young Miss each held a blue Talisman in their hands, provided by the league officials. Crushing it would directly teleport them back to the starting point, but this also meant the end of their participation and they could not return to the venue to continue.

After putting away the Talismans, people from the remaining cities arrived one after another, and the scene instantly became lively.

"Isn't this Miss Lu? It's been a long time, you've become even more beautiful."

A man in brocade clothes suddenly stepped forward to strike up a conversation.

Seeing the newcomer, a hint of disgust flashed in Lu Yichan's eyes, and she said coldly, "Young Master Wei, you flatter me. The league is about to begin, please prepare in your original spot and don't disturb me."

"I just wanted to talk to the Young Miss. How is that disturbing?"

"I think you're disturbing me, is that okay?"

Seeing her icy attitude, Wei Shang opened his mouth and sighed, "Don't you know my feelings for you? Why do you repeatedly reject me?"

Lu Yichan said coldly, "I'm sorry, Young Master, I'm not interested in you. You don't need to waste your time on me."

"Alright... Since the Young Miss dislikes me so much, I won't bother you again in the future."

Wei Shang finished speaking and turned to leave very freely.

This action, on the contrary, surprised Lu Yichan.

In the past, whenever this guy encountered her, he would at least chat for half a day before slowly leaving. Today, he just said a few words and left?

What kind of medicine did he take to suddenly change his personality?
