Xiao Yuhan's brows furrowed more and more. Indeed, Miao Xiaodie was right. The most inhuman thing to say in the world is, "I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else."
All secrets spread like this. It has nothing to do with character, but only with trust. You may think he is someone you trust, but he also has people he trusts. And some things don't need to be said; a discerning person can see it.
So Miao Xiaodie's idea was not bad. Although it was a bit underhanded, it was indeed able to cover up the truth. After all, the romantic affairs of an elder of a cultivation sect were enough to attract a lot of attention.
However, Xiao Yuhan still had a hunch. "I have a question. Why are they so determined to control the Southern Continent? And wasn't driving you away from the Five Immortals Sect enough? Why are they still hunting you down? Is it really just to eliminate any future threats?"
Hearing this, Miao Xiaodie clenched her fists, then shook her head and said, "Xiao Yuhan, I don't want to say more about this matter. It concerns the secrets of the Miao people. I hope you can believe me. This matter has nothing to do with your Heavenly Sword Sect."
"But your arrival here is destined to bring trouble to my Heavenly Sword Sect! Indeed, I can help you out of a sense of duty, but isn't it a bit unfair of you to be hiding something from me?"
Miao Xiaodie pondered for a long time, seemingly realizing that her actions were unreasonable. Since she had come to find Xiao Yuhan, it meant she trusted this man.
So in the end, she told Xiao Yuhan why those people were determined to hunt her down. After hearing this, Xiao Yuhan's expression became extremely solemn, and she finally decided to keep Miao Xiaodie as her daughter.
...
Early the next morning, Xiao Yuhan went to see his fellow disciples and made up an excuse, saying that he was bored while in solitary confinement and went down the mountain to drink. However, he lost his temper while drunk and had a relationship with a woman, which is why he ended up with this big woman.
The two senior brothers were understanding, after all, they were men, and they thought that such a thing was possible, so they didn't say anything more.
Senior Sister Shen Huairu remained silent throughout, it was unclear whether she believed it or not, and she did not express her own opinion at all.
As for the junior sister, because of the many suspicious points about that little girl yesterday, she didn't believe that she was her senior brother's daughter at all. However, Nangong Ling'er always trusted Xiao Yuhan. She knew that since her senior brother had taken the initiative to say so, there must be some hidden reason. So she pretended to believe that the little girl was her senior brother's daughter.
After much deliberation, Senior Brother Ye Qingyun, the sect leader, said, "Junior Brother Xiao... to be honest, I didn't expect you to do something like this, but since it has already happened, tell me what to do?"
Xiao Yuhan continued to make up a story: "Her mother has passed away, and now this girl is all alone and helpless, so I have no choice but to keep her by my side."
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Qingyun said helplessly, "Alright, but not as your daughter, only as your disciple. Give the order that no one else should know about this, and don't let them spread rumors. Just say... it's the daughter of Junior Brother Xiao's old friend who has come to seek refuge."
With the senior brothers and sisters nodding in agreement, Xiao Yuhan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to leave, Ye Qingyun suddenly said, "Junior Brother Xiao, you are also a discipline elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Fortunately, this was not a major incident. You must be more careful in your actions in the future!"
"Junior brother understands, I'll take my leave now!"
The other disciples had no objections to the sect leader's handling of the situation, as it represented the sect's reputation.
After Xiao Yuhan left the Heavenly Sword Hall, his junior sister quickly followed.
He smiled and said, "Senior brother? Is she really your daughter?"
"Yes!" Xiao Yuhan answered without hesitation.
Junior Sister Nangong Ling'er knew exactly what was going on and immediately said, "Ha! Senior Brother! You'd rather tarnish your own reputation than tell us the truth. It seems this matter is quite serious. Do you think... if I go to that little girl now, I might be able to find out anything?"
