Chapter 1113: Chapter 1117: The Curtain Falls

The daughter stood by Xia Liu to such an extent.

Liu Hong couldn’t say much about it.

Of course, she mostly hoped that the Qingyun Sect would be in a safe position.

In this regard, Liu Hong was quite gratified.

However, she sacrificed too much for Xia Liu.

Xia Liu…

Looking at Xia Liu’s bewildered face, Liu Hong didn’t know what to think anymore.

“Sect Leader Ye, is this reason satisfactory?”

Sage Qingjue didn’t quite understand the situation either.

Previously, Xia Liu had gone to Shu Mountain to seek a Cultivation Technique for his wife.

Today, Liu Mingyue stood up and claimed to be his fiancée.

Evidently, it’s not the same person from before.

Sage Qingjue didn’t want to get involved in the young people’s affairs.

What he had to do was ensure Xia Liu’s safety.

Even if it meant certain demise, he wouldn’t let Xia Liu come to harm.

Xia Liu was possibly his only way to repay Venerable Yun Fan.

Ye Tiande’s face had long darkened, how could he possibly respond?

Xia Liu held countless Treasures, yet was stuck on the shoal, unable to enter the sea to slay monsters and claim treasure.

If Xia Liu truly belonged to the Qingyun Sect.

Then Ye Chen’s death might go unresolved.

In the Immortal Sect, incidents of disciples from various sects killing for treasures surfaced and were exposed.

This was a violation of the contract signed by the ancestors.

If Xia Liu produced evidence, then the Xuantian Sect would be in a perilous position.

A single identity could lift Xia Liu from danger to a hall of safety and joy.

Unwilling, surely unwilling.

But what could Ye Tiande do about it?

At least for the time being, he couldn’t do anything.

“Liu Hong, since he is your daughter’s fiancé and a member of the Qingyun Sect, then he must participate in the Immortal Sect’s tri-annual competition.”

“Naturally, we had an agreement from the start, as long as the new disciple reaches Qi Cultivation level six and is under forty, they must partake in the Immortal Sect competition.”

Liu Hong nodded.

He understood Ye Tiande’s intentions.

Unable to kill Xia Liu today, he shifted his focus to the Immortal Sect competition.

“As long as you know, the rules of the Immortal Sect competition state that the defeated must offer all their Treasures, or if unwilling, their Cultivation will be Sealed for fifty years by several judges.”

Seeing Ye Tiande’s serious face, Liu Hong almost laughed.

Though he hadn’t witnessed Xia Liu’s prowess firsthand.

To duel with someone of Qi Cultivation level fifteen for several moves, even forcing Ye Tiande to use the Stellar Scar Collapse.

This was enough to show that Xia Liu was a leader among the young generation.

“Xia Liu, you must participate in this competition, understand?”

Although it was their first meeting, the experienced Liu Hong immediately adjusted his demeanor.

Looking at Xia Liu, it seemed as if he had known him for countless years, casually and naturally.

“I understand.”

Xia Liu’s response was crisp and clear.

To avoid today’s disaster.

Liu Mingyue sacrificed her own reputation to give him a chance.

Though there was a motive to protect the Qingyun Sect.

She must’ve known before coming here.

Yet she still said it, that favor, he must remember.

Standing behind Xia Liu, Liu Mingyue’s body trembled.

Xia Liu’s answer was too straightforward.

Her heart began to ripple uncontrollably.

She hadn’t thought it would become so serious before coming today.

If not for Ye Tiande, she wouldn’t have known the matter would become so severe.

Even risking the Qingyun Sect.

She certainly wouldn’t let the Qingyun Sect be in danger.

Even if sacrificing her own reputation, she wouldn’t let this happen.

“Haha, since this is the case, let’s disperse.”

Ye Tiande sneered, then left the scene with four Elders.

Afterward, an eerie silence fell over the scene.

No one spoke.

They all came here today because of Xia Liu.

“Senior Qingjue, after so many years, taking advantage of this opportunity today, let’s go down the mountain to a pavilion and have a few cups of warm tea.”

“Daoist Fellow Liu’s suggestion is good.”

Sage Qingjue glanced at Xia Liu and then left with Liu Hong.

In an invisible manner, Xia Liu received a Divine Consciousness Sound Transmission: “In five days, come see me at the Qingyun Sect.”

Looking at Liu Hong and Sage Qingjue laughing, Xia Liu felt a chill down his spine.

There was no emotion in Liu Hong’s words, even cold and piercing.

Vaguely carrying a hint of anger.

Sigh…

Because of him, Liu Mingyue even sacrificed her reputation.

As Liu Mingyue’s father, Liu Hong certainly wouldn’t let him get away easily.

With Sage Qingjue here today, Liu Hong surely wouldn’t say anything.

When no one is around, he…

Thinking about it, Xia Liu couldn’t help but smile wryly.

“Brother-in-law Xia!”

After Liu Hong and Sage Qingjue left, Lu Fang called out to Xia Liu excitedly.

“Brother-in-law your head, since we’re out, take me to the bustling part of the city to look around.”

Before Lu Fang’s excitement could begin, Lu Mu patted him on the head.

The intention was obvious, to let Xia Liu and Liu Mingyue be alone here.

Let them talk for themselves.

“Dad, you’re teasing me, you clearly have no interest in those things.”

“You rascal! I’m interested today, hurry up and lead the way!”

Regarding this foolish son, Lu Mu couldn’t say much, kicking him from behind.

…

Seeing Lu Fang’s tragic appearance, Liu Mingyue chuckled out loud.

“Haha, Brother Lu and his father have a great relationship.”

Xia Liu smiled warmly, this scene reminded him of when he was young.

Himself with his father, grandfather, and mother.

Were they not just as happy and joyful?

But then changes occurred.

If not for those changes, he might have graduated from university, perhaps working hard in some company now.

Perhaps having a virtuous girlfriend, maybe even reaching the stage of marriage discussions…

“Hey…”

Calling Xia Liu several times in a row, Liu Mingyue’s face was almost completely red.

Did she have a flower on her face?

Or did she take a wrong step just now, what if this guy took it seriously?

What did he mean by smiling stupidly at her!

“Uh, Miss Liu, did you call me?”

Returning to his senses, Xia Liu quickly asked.

“Yes! I called you.”

Liu Mingyue was somewhat annoyed, Xia Liu wasn’t bad looking, his cultivation was also unfathomable.

But his brain was like a piece of wood, didn’t even take notice of her as a great beauty, simply infuriating.

“Thank you Miss Liu for helping me out today, in the future I…”

“Alright, it’s my turn to speak, let me clarify, that fiancé thing was all made up by me, you know, it’s not real, don’t think you’re my fiancé in the future.”

Liu Mingyue cleared things up first, to prevent herself more embarrassment later.

“I know, to ensure my safety, Miss Liu sacrificed her own reputation, this matter Xia Liu will remember, if I could I…”

“Stop, stop, you don’t need to finish, I can roughly guess it, I’m still young, reputation and such things have nothing to do with me.”
