Liu Lingxian could sense that her father was about to lose his temper, so she quickly stood in front of me and said...
"Father, what are you doing? Uncle Tuoba is just a mortal. Why are you arguing with him? Aren't you afraid of losing your dignity?"
Hearing his daughter's rebellious words, Liu Changqing wanted to ask, "Since he's just a mortal, why is he provoking me, a powerful being, for no reason? Doesn't he know that one look from me could scare him to death?"
"Never mind, I'm not angry..."
Liu Changqing suppressed his anger as he uttered those words, as if reminding himself, but also as if threatening me…
"Yeah, I didn't say anything wrong. Look how angry you've made yourself..."
These words were like a knife, directly igniting Liu Changqing's suppressed anger. He glared at me with dangerous eyes, wishing he could devour me alive...
He really wanted to point his finger at me and yell, "You didn't say anything wrong, but every word you uttered was nonsense, it made me so angry my liver hurt..."
"You let your son join the Divine Puppet Sect..."
Liu Changqing was too lazy to waste words and directly stated his purpose. He didn't believe I could still beat around the bush...
"I'm not going..."
My answer was very straightforward…
"Uncle Tuoba, there are many benefits to joining the Divine Puppet Sect, why not let Third Brother join?"
My attitude towards Liu Lingxian's question was noticeably different; I spoke very gently.
"I don't want the mistress to become that dragon trapped in shallow waters..."
Upon hearing my words, Liu Lingxian took a long time to react, while Liu Changqing felt immensely humiliated…
The Divine Puppet Sect, one of the nine major sects of the Central Continent, is actually described as a shallow beach? Then where is the ocean? In this world, if the Divine Puppet Sect is a shallow beach, then there is absolutely no ocean—this is the confidence of the sect leader…
"Your son must join the Divine Puppet Sect. He possesses the inheritance of the Holy Puppet Granny, and the core techniques of our Divine Puppet Sect will not be allowed to remain outside..."
Liu Changqing exuded an aura of absolute authority, a kind of power that commanded respect and instilled fear in those in power…
"Um... let me ask you something..."
I felt a little embarrassed as I interrupted Liu Changqing's imposing manner, instantly shattering the aura of authority he had painstakingly cultivated...
Faced with a mere mortal with no cultivation whatsoever, Liu Changqing was utterly frustrated...
He looked at me with great displeasure and asked...
What do you want to ask?
I pretended to be hesitant and asked...
"I want to ask, what if... I mean, what if... this is just a hypothetical situation, what would you do if this cultivation technique were to fall into the wrong hands?"
Liu Changqing thought I was taking a chance, so he replied in a very domineering manner.
"Is that even a question? Of course, kill them to prevent the cultivation technique from leaking out..."
My eyes lit up immediately. I was just worried that my son was lacking in challenges, and now this whetstone had come to me...
I immediately smiled, and my gaze towards Liu Changqing softened...
Liu Lingxian laughed too, thinking I had given in, and her mind was already filled with fantasies of a wonderful future with Tuoba San, living happily ever after...
Liu Changqing also wore an expression that said, "You're smart to know what's good for you," and arrogantly raised his head to make himself look even more imposing...
"Then there's no problem. My son won't join the Divine Puppet Sect..."
Liu Changqing didn't react immediately. He thought I had agreed, so as soon as I finished speaking, he nodded in satisfaction and said...
"You're quite sensible to choose the right time, opting to join..."
He paused here, then looked at me with a puzzled expression and asked uncertainly.
"What did you say?"
"I told him my son wouldn't join the Divine Puppet Sect..."
I replied quite naturally…
"Father, please don't be angry..."
Liu Lingxian restrained her father, who was about to erupt in anger, then looked at me with anxious eyes, giving me signals while simultaneously gesturing to me.
"Uncle Tuoba, please explain! You misspoke. You wanted Third Brother to join the Divine Puppet Sect..."
Liu Lingxian was practically ready to agree on my behalf, but I seemed oblivious to her hints and just said...
"It's just a sect that makes toys, what's so great about joining? My son is incredibly talented, a future eagle soaring through the skies, I can't break his wings..."
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. Liu Changqing's anger grew even stronger; this was utterly disparaging of their Divine Puppet Sect...
Toy?
They're creating combat-capable puppets, yet they're calling them toys.
Soaring through the nine heavens?
Did the Divine Puppet Sect hinder your son's takeoff? As one of the nine great sects, how can he tolerate being described as a place with broken wings?
"Uncle Tuoba, the Divine Puppet Sect is one of the nine strongest sects in the Central Continent, and it's also responsible for guarding the Forbidden Land of the Heavenly Gods. If Third Brother joins the Divine Puppet Sect, it will be very beneficial to his growth..."
Liu Lingxian anxiously recounted the power of the Divine Puppet Sect and the benefits of joining, fearing that her father might impulsively send her to be reincarnated...
"I'm not going..."
I said firmly…
Hearing my words, Liu Lingxian was almost in tears; she jumped up and down, saying...
"Uncle Tuoba, please don't be so stubborn. If Third Brother doesn't join, my father will kill him. The core inheritance of the Divine Puppet Sect is not allowed to be passed on to outsiders..."
I couldn't bear to see Liu Lingxian so anxious, but for the sake of my son's growth, not joining the Divine Puppet Sect at this time was the best choice...
I glanced at Tuoba San, who was absorbing the legacy of the Holy Puppet Granny; I figured he was going to get a really bad beating soon…
"Xian'er, Xiao San really can't join the Divine Puppet Sect. We bear a blood feud, and joining any sect will only mean endless trouble..."
Upon hearing my words, Liu Changqing sneered disdainfully, and said confidently...
"Trouble? You seem to have misunderstood the power of the Divine Puppet Sect. As long as Tuoba San is willing to join the Divine Puppet Sect, we will take on his grudge..."
These were Liu Changqing's carefully considered words. He felt that someone from a small place couldn't possibly have a powerful enemy. Even the strongest sect in the Western Continent was nothing more than something he could easily destroy with a flick of his finger…
Not to mention other forces; to the Divine Puppet Sect, they don't even qualify to be ants...
"This isn't a good idea... Our enemy is too powerful, and we want to take revenge on our own. It's better not to cause trouble for the Divine Puppet Sect..."
I wanted to laugh inside, but I pretended that I was thinking of you all...
This attitude directly provoked Liu Changqing, who angrily said...
"Let me make this clear: if I can't handle your enemies, I'll apologize to you on the spot. But if I can, besides Tuoba San joining the Divine Puppet Sect, you bastard will have to kneel down and admit your mistakes. No one can underestimate the Divine Puppet Sect..."
A smile involuntarily crept onto my lips. There are always people who like to offer their faces up to you so you can slap them. Since that's the case, then I won't hold back...
I watched as Liu Changqing slowly spoke…
