This is a true meeting between father-in-law and son-in-law.
At least that's how it appears on the surface.
Looking at his father-in-law sitting opposite him, a portly man holding a large tea bowl and drinking tea, Xiao Boqi was momentarily at a loss for words.
Logically speaking, the first person he should pay his respects to upon arriving at the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect should be his wife's father, Zhang Dafu.
But his wife is not a reasonable person.
Before she even arrived, she had already portrayed her father-in-law, her two brothers-in-law, and the entire Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect as her enemies.
This resulted in Xiao Boqi having absolutely no good feelings towards his father-in-law, who was as good as a pig.
If Elder Qingyun hadn't intervened at the last moment, those two foolish brothers-in-law would have been instantly killed by him.
Thinking of this, Xiao Boqi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Damn it, you seem to have left those two guys in the Nine Heavens Secret Realm.
He broke free of the formation without leaving a trace, but those two are still trapped in the illusion formation.
Given the Zhang family's track record, even if those two brothers screamed their lungs out, no one would come to their rescue.
Fortunately, I managed to turn the tables in the end, and the damage to my soul within the illusion array was minimized, so my life shouldn't be in any danger.
I hope... I hope so.
Who knows?
This morning, my wife said she was going to discipline the Dao Sect disciples so that they wouldn't keep causing trouble and messing things up after the people from Daqi arrived.
A major war could break out at any time, so it is still necessary to raise the level of urgency.
But before leaving, he smiled and told Yi Boqi that someone named Zhang Dafu was trying to harass him, and that he could help him cancel if he didn't want to go.
It's not a typo; her exact words were "Zhang Dafu wants to cheat you."
Having already learned what had happened, Yi Boqi naturally knew that he had to meet his father-in-law.
Even though the deed is done, it's still necessary to go through the formalities out of both courtesy and reason.
After he respectfully bowed at the main hall, Zhang Dafu gestured for him to sit down and then kept drinking tea.
This is the third pot now.
Just as Xiao Boqi's patience was about to run out, Zhang Dafu finally put down the large tea basin in his hand.
“I was wondering before why you were able to do so many things that even the Imperial Lands dared not do, and yet the Heavenly Dao did not react at all.”
"Only after hearing the ancestor's words do I understand that it was all due to the divine book left to you by the elder."
After speaking, he looked at Yi Boqi.
"To cross the Wheel of Fate and reach the Heavenly Realm directly is something never heard of on the Imperial Land. Your talent is truly remarkable."
That makes perfect sense, and Xiao Boqi could only smile and nod in agreement.
But the next sentence made Ye Boqi's eyes freeze.
What do you think of that girl, Jiu Lin?
Before Ye Boqi could reply, he spoke up again on his own.
"Kai Ling is also a good girl, and she has been by Feng'er's side since she was a child. The sisters have a very good relationship."
"I remember the Fourth Elder had a granddaughter named... Zhang Kailan..."
“Uncle, although Feng’er and I were not childhood sweethearts, our feelings for each other are sincere and unique. I only have eyes for Feng’er.”
He Boqi spoke with utmost seriousness.
He wasn't expressing his loyalty to Zhang Dafu; it was simply his truest feeling.
In his eyes and in his heart, there is only one person: the one who is thirty years old.
No matter how outstanding others are, it has nothing to do with me.
After listening to what Yi Boqi said, Zhang Dafu nodded noncommittally, then picked up the large tea tray and took another sip.
But the joy in his eyes was impossible to hide as he lowered his head to drink his tea.
There's nothing I can do; my little darling is leaking air and won't listen to me at all.
So all he could do was give that bastard who had run off with his precious daughter a good talking-to from behind.
If he dares to say today that he wants both Zhang Kailing and Zhang Kailan, then I'll risk everything to... complain about him to Feng'er.
He had considered fighting.
But he had also considered the consequences after the fight.
After tapping his finger on the table, Zhang Dafu continued speaking.
“You are right to regard Yun Qin as an adversary, and it is also in line with the goals of the Dao Sect.”
After saying that, he turned to look at Yi Boqi.
"Our meeting today is a formal one, so from now on you will call me Dad."
These words startled Yi Boqi, but Yi Boqi's reaction made Zhang Dafu's eyes widen instantly.
"What, you married someone's daughter and you don't even call her 'Dad'?"
"Are you really planning to start from the old stinky lineage, calling my dad 'elder brother' and me 'nephew'?"
His wide eyes instantly returned to normal, and his tone became calm again.
"You might not be used to calling me 'Dad' all at once. How about this, you can call me that in an hour."
He then got up from the chair and said as he walked outside.
"Let's go. Today, the person you're meeting isn't me, but Feng'er's mother."
With 360 twists and turns in a single sentence, Xiao Boqi felt he really couldn't keep up with his father-in-law's way of thinking.
But when his wife's mother was mentioned, there was a clear sense of melancholy in the tone of his large, fat father-in-law.
Behind the mountain, the Xuanbing Palace.
Looking at the woman still lying on the huge ice bed, Xiao Boqi respectfully performed a junior's salute.
She is Qingruo, a mother who is thirty years old.
As for her mother, she never mentioned turning thirty to herself, perhaps because she didn't want to bring it up.
It's possible that he wanted to give this opportunity to his own father, or perhaps he had some other motive.
Anyway, even he couldn't quite figure out his wife.
My wife looks a lot like my mother-in-law, but her childhood was just like mine.
My mother was absent due to unavoidable reasons.
But the moment he saw his mother-in-law, Xiao Boqi suddenly felt the Heaven-Stealing Divine Book within his sea of consciousness tremble violently.
Immediately, the enormous book of thieves in his sea of consciousness began to turn pages automatically, as if searching for something.
"Back then, I was just like you now... dashing and handsome beyond compare."
After the father-in-law finished speaking, a nostalgic smile appeared on his chubby face.
“According to the Zhang family’s ancestral teachings, I also grew up in the Qing family’s Sky Academy. She was my senior sister back then.”
As Zhang Dafu spoke, he gently brushed the ice shavings off the blanket.
“Feng’er and her mother are very similar, not only in appearance but also in their mannerisms.”
"Back then, I was just a little follower in front of her, and I was always the first to sense her advancement in cultivation."
"Because of her, she will use me to test the speed of her cultivation progress, as well as the lethality of her martial arts techniques."
After saying that, he took out a steaming plum blossom cake from his pocket.
The plum blossom cakes that had been placed on the ice bed last time were now frozen, and Zhang Dafu put them away.
"She loves lively atmospheres and hates the cold the most."
"But now, she has to lie in this cold and desolate place all day long. She must be in great pain."
After speaking, he looked up at Yi Boqi.
"The only thing that can wake him up now is the Nine Netherworld Emperor Scripture."
