Rui An knew he was in trouble the moment Mu Hanyan uttered those words.
Rui An looked at his beloved wife with a mourning expression, only to see Yue Fanling giving him a cold, sidelong glance.
Although Yue Fanling didn’t say a word, Rui An felt as though a great mountain was weighing down on him, making it impossible to sit or stand at ease. The wife is mighty!
"Wife, don’t listen to this brat’s nonsense," Rui An hurriedly explained with a look of aggrieved innocence, waving his hands.
There you go! His darling daughter is now a "brat." Oh, Daddy, your face-changing is really swift! Mu Hanyan rolled her eyes, looking at how pathetic her father was, so lacking in presence... it was just too satisfying! Hahaha, could this really be the same dignified and calm Lord City Master? Mu Hanyan wickedly thought, if outsiders saw Daddy , especially the citizens of Heishi City who adored and worshiped him, what kind of illusion destruction would that be?
"I’ll settle things with you when we get back to the room," Yue Fanling glared at Rui An, but even that glare was brimming with allure, making Rui An itch with longing.
Then he blurted out involuntarily, "Fine, however you want to do it is fine. If you want it on top, then on top; if you want it underneath, then underneath."
Mu Hanyan burst into laughter; she literally choked on her own saliva, la la la la!!!
Oh my god, Dad, where is your integrity? Have you forgotten that your daughter is right in front of you?
Only after hearing Mu Hanyan’s sudden outburst did Rui An come to his senses—oh, it was over, how could he forget his daughter was still there! Rui An looked at Yue Fanling’s face, dark as if about to drip ink, and wanted to cry. It was over, he would probably have to sleep on the floor for three days. Why had he spoken without thinking? He was full of regret.
Seeing her pitiful father, Mu Hanyan’s conscience awoke, and she felt a bit too cruel. She started to change the subject.
"Besides, I actually cultivated for seven days!" Indeed, cultivation is timeless, Mu Hanyan felt as if it had only been a few hours, but seven days had inexplicably passed.
"Your cultivation must have improved quite a lot, right?" Rui An asked.
"Mhm, the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate is really something..." Once the topic of cultivation came up, Mu Hanyan couldn’t suppress her excitement, and she was about to reveal the secret to her father and mother.
As long as you know about your cultivation matters, there’s no need to tell us," Rui An interrupted her, waving his hand to dismiss the subject.
"Mhm." Mu Hanyan stopped talking.
She could tell that Rui An’s refusal to let her continue wasn’t due to estrangement but trust—a complete, unreserved trust.
She also became alert; some things are better left unsaid. It wasn’t that she was being cautious. In fact, against her family who would bear humilities and even risk their lives to protect her, there was nothing to be cautious about. Doing this was also a way to protect them. The secret of the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate, once known to anyone, could bring them unknown danger. For more chapters visit novel⸺fire.net
Just like her grandfather’s decision to send her to Heishi City, which her father had been reluctant to discuss with her before, was also to protect her and let her grow up more smoothly.
"This time I came to see you for two reasons: first, because your mother is too worried, and second, because I have something to tell you," Rui An continued.
"What is it?" Mu Hanyan asked curiously.
"The trial at Zhengying Academy in the Longyan Mountain is about to start. Prepare yourself and go too," Rui An said.
The trial at Zhengying Academy?
Mu Hanyan was taken aback.
