After talking for a while, Lu Zhengming still couldn't bring himself to ask the question that was on his mind.
He really wanted to ask if she had met someone from the Feng family.
However, he quickly swallowed those words back then. He had promised Feng Qing that he wouldn't tell Fu Yue about her.
Seeing Lu Zhengming's appearance, Lu Fuyue suddenly felt a little suspicious. It seemed like he was hiding something from her. Could it be... about her mother?
After a moment, Lu Zhengming looked at Lu Fuyue again, his tone softening, "Now that you're back, you should take a good rest for a while."
"Come visit me in a few days; your mother left something for you."
After saying that, he turned to leave, but suddenly he saw his little daughter looking at him pitifully, surrounded by a pile of rags, with traces of blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.
Fortunately, Fu Yue didn't use too much force.
However, Ruan Ruan is her younger sister after all, and the two should get along well in the future.
Lu Zhengming turned around and sighed helplessly, "Fuyue, Ruanruan is my newly adopted daughter. From now on, she will be your sister."
He paused for a moment, then said, "Even for my sake, don't embarrass her."
Hearing this, Lu Fuyue felt only irony. She looked straight at the person in front of her and said, "I never thought that the sect leader would even disown his own daughter just to deceive me. How ridiculous."
Lu Zhengming froze, then shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? Ruan Ruan is just my adopted daughter."
"Besides, she won't threaten your position in the Tianxuan Sect, Fuyue, you don't need to target her like this."
Just then, Bai Ruanruan suddenly stood up, knelt at Lu Zhengming's feet, and tugged at his clothes. "Daddy, don't reject Ruanruan. Ruanruan will be very good. Ruanruan doesn't want anything. She just wants to stay by Daddy's side."
A hint of heartache flashed in Lu Zhengming's eyes. He quickly pulled Bai Ruanruan up and said, "What are you saying? Your sister isn't that kind of person. Besides, our Ruanruan is so well-behaved. Who would have the heart to send you away?"
Lu Fuyue looked at the father and daughter with a calm expression. They were putting on a show of fatherly affection in front of her. She coldly interrupted them, "First of all, I don't have a younger sister. Secondly, this cave was built for me by my mother. Even the sect leader cannot give it away to someone else."
"Finally, I don't like Bai Ruanruan. There's no need for you to put on a show in front of me about your relationship with your father. As long as you don't provoke me, I won't hit you."
Before Lu Zhengming and Bai Ruanruan could say anything, Lu Fuyue used her spiritual power to quickly close the cave door, cutting off their view.
Lu Zhengming was furious. "Lu Fuyue, what do you mean by this? You keep calling me 'Sect Master,' are you not going to acknowledge me as your father?"
"At the time, I thought you were dead. It just so happened that Ruan Ruan looked somewhat like you, so I brought her back to Tianxuan Sect."
...
Seeing that Lu Zhengming was getting angry, Bai Ruanruan immediately grabbed his sleeve, but her gaze seemed to be looking through the cave entrance at Lu Fuyue.
“Sister, in the years before you died… no, in the years since you disappeared, Father has really cared about you. Sister, I don’t want this cave anymore. Can you please stop treating Father like this?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhengming's expression softened instantly. He rubbed the soft, fluffy top of her head and said, "Ruanruan, be good, don't cry. Daddy will find you a new cave."
"Try to see her as little as possible in the future."
Even if your sister comes back, your father will still love you just as much as before.
Bai Ruanruan looked at the silent cave entrance with her reddened eyes, then nodded hesitantly, "Ruanruan... I understand."
Lu Zhengming laughed. She's still so sweet and adorable.
How could he not cherish such a delicate and sweet daughter?
He brought her back with the thought that since she was his own flesh and blood, it wouldn't be good for her to always be living away from home. But he never expected that, even though they were both his biological daughters, Ruan Ruan was so cute and well-behaved, while Fu Yue always made him angry.
...
After closing the door, Lu Fuyue used a spell to block out the noise from outside. Based on her understanding of Lu Zhengming, she knew he would definitely scold her. To avoid the noise affecting her cultivation, she decided not to listen.
Anyway, she no longer had any feelings for Lu Zhengming.
Lu Fuyue looked around and found that some things in her cave were missing, which deepened her disgust for Bai Ruanruan and Lu Zhengming.
Most of the things in her room were arranged by her mother herself, such as the moon-white South China Sea silk hanging on her bed and the fist-sized East China Sea luminous pearl in front of her bed.
Everything was priceless, but now it had been used by Lu Zhengming's illegitimate daughter.
Some seemingly inconspicuous treasures were also gone. Lu Fuyue suddenly realized that Bai Ruanruan, that clueless girl, had probably thrown them away as junk.
But little did she know that the most inconspicuous things in this cave were actually the most precious.
Lu Fuyue walked up to the incense burner, her eyes turning cold, just like the small, withered red tree that had originally been placed on it.
This thing looks like a rather unusual dead tree, but it is actually an extremely rare fifth-grade spiritual plant called Floating Wood.
Back then, she was in poor health, often coughing up blood and weak, unable to rest, and the fragrance of floating wood provided some relief.
Lu Fuyue then looked at the corner of the bed, where a piece of Biyu jade had originally been placed. Biyu jade was a water-attribute treasure that her mother had specially found for her.
It works perfectly with the water spirit jade hanging around her neck to nourish her body.
But now all of these things are gone.
Lu Fuyue remained silent for a moment, then turned and headed towards Lu Zhengming's cave.
Since he was the one who let Bai Ruanruan move in, then naturally he should be responsible for everything. She wanted to see how he would twist the truth for Bai Ruanruan.
Lu Zhengming's cave dwelling is located on Qingyun Peak, which is right next to her peak, with a peach grove separating the two peaks.
Peach blossoms fluttered down, countless pink petals drifting down and covering the ground, peach branches everywhere.
Lu Fuyue lightly touched the ground with her toes and leaped onto the top of the peach tree. Suddenly, a series of rapid breathing sounds caught her attention.
She paused, her gaze falling on the large peach tree not far away. In a daze, two smooth bodies flashed by, quickly hidden by bright red clothes.
At the same time, a peach blossom, imbued with powerful spiritual energy, flew straight toward Lu Fuyue's eyes, carrying a strong warning.
