After transmigrating into the body of a junior sister of a celestial sect, the cultivation world wen

Ning Yue raised an eyebrow: "..."

"Oh, isn't this so-and-so!" She feigned surprise, frowning as if she didn't recognize Ning Lian.

"...Who was it again?"

Ning Lian stared wide-eyed in disbelief, her expression as if the sky had fallen.

He didn't care about the stone in his hand anymore, and just threw it on the ground with a thud.

"Daughter! It's Daddy! Don't you recognize Daddy?"

Ning Yue propped his head up with one hand and carefully examined Ning Lian.

"I do have a vague recollection of him, but what exactly is 'Daddy'? Is he some kind of creature?"

Ning Lian had just grabbed a stone, and now his hands were covered in dust. In disbelief, he rubbed his face vigorously with both hands.

"No, my dear! Daddy's just missing! Daddy's not dead!"

Ning Yue didn't answer, his gaze fixed on Ning Lian's ashen face, his expression becoming even more somber...

...She seemed to have touched her face with her hand just now.

...Won't it get dusty too?

Ning Lian clearly misunderstood this profound meaning, and with a "whoosh," she sat down on the ground, tightly wrapping her arms around Ning Yue's legs.

Tears streaming down his face, he said, "Dad has a reason. I didn't disappear on purpose. I can't tell you more, but just remember that I'm your dad..."

Ning Yue pushed him away expressionlessly: "Let go, I'm not your daughter, and you're not my father..."

Ning Lian's crying grew louder, attracting the attention of everyone nearby.

"Uncle...?" Shi Yinghan thought something had happened to Ning Yue, so he came over anxiously to check on him.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that it was Ning Lian who was wailing loudly.

"...What's going on?" Shi Yinghan asked, puzzled.

"How did you disappear? I've been looking for you everywhere since we parted ways in the mortal realm. Where did you go, and now you've suddenly reappeared?"

Ning Lian was still immersed in the grief of her daughter not recognizing her, and had no mood to answer Shi Yinghan's question.

"Waaaaah..."

"Alright, alright..." Ning Yue couldn't take it anymore. "I was just kidding, Dad."

Ning Lian looked up in disbelief, her face glistening with tears that hadn't dried yet: "Really?"

Her eyelashes were wet and clung to her eyelids, and her under-eyes were red. She did look somewhat similar to Ning Yue.

……

Although he didn't know his father's exact age, Ning Lian looked like he was sixteen or seventeen in this scene.

Ning Yue fell silent: "..."

She began to ponder what kind of person her mother was and how she found a little rascal like Ning Lian.

Is it right for a father to cry like this in front of his daughter?

Or is this just a normal father-daughter relationship?

The father is as handsome as a flower, while the mother and daughter are constantly fighting?

This is probably just their normal routine...

Ning Yue pondered again: "..."

Looking at Ning Yue's expression, which was exactly the same as before, how could she possibly look like she had forgiven him?

His sweet and lovely daughter still resented him, blaming him for not appearing when she needed help the most.

Ning Lian couldn't hold back any longer and covered his eyes with his hands, muttering, "You still haven't forgiven Daddy. Daddy already said it wasn't intentional."

Ning Yue: "..."

Why is she so hard to appease? She just said something casually.

"Say it! What do you want? Or what do you want your father to do?! Your father will definitely do it for you!" Ning Lian changed the subject, wiping away tears as he spoke with great bravado.

Ning Yue: "...No need."

Ning Lian wiped away her tears again: "You still haven't forgiven your father!"

Ning Yue: "..."

"We are repairing the pressure stone, but we don't have enough manpower. Father, can you come and help?" Ning Yue said, pointing to the remaining stones around them.

Ning Lian got up full of fighting spirit and asked, "You'll forgive Dad after you move everything?"

Ning Yue could only reply, "...Of course, but remember, you must not use any spiritual power."

Ning Lianxiong began moving stones with great pride and high spirits.

He was very fast, and seemed to be handling things with ease even without using spiritual power.

Judging from his relaxed demeanor, it was as if moving stones was no different from carrying a baby bird.

Shi Yinghan stood beside Ning Yue, looking dazed. "Uncle, what's wrong?"

"He probably felt really bad about leaving without saying goodbye," Ning Yue guessed.

"I was just teasing him, saying I didn't know him... He probably can't accept that at all."

Shi Yinghan, half-understanding, replied, "...Oh."

As Yang Fei carried the stones, he said, "...But where did Uncle come from? I didn't even notice."

Ning Yue shook his head: "I didn't notice either. The stone was about to slip from my hand, and he just happened to catch it for me. That's when I realized it."

The others were also incredulous at Ning Lian's appearance, but they couldn't ask him anything.

Ning Lian was completely absorbed in moving stones, so engrossed that he forgot himself.

Ying Yan didn't recognize Ning Lian and stared at Ning Lian's back with great curiosity, even forgetting to move the stone.

"Is this Miss Ning's father?"

"Mm." Ning Yue nodded.

"Miss Ning's father is also a cultivator? He looks so young."

Ning Yue didn't know how to answer. Who knew if Ning Lian was a cultivator? Probably.

In short, he's incredibly impressive. Although he seems unreliable, he always feels unfathomable.

Duan Huailin's formation was finally completed, and two-thirds of the stones had been reset.

The repair was almost complete.

Everyone was incredibly excited, as victory was in sight.

at last!

Ning Lian happily carried the last stone to the location designated by Lu Qingyan.

A pale light shone from the edge of the array, and all the stones trembled in unison.

With a loud bang, the stones were suddenly squeezed tightly together, and the gaps that allowed light to pass through kept shrinking until they were perfectly sealed.

At the same time, a heavy pressure suddenly descended, and everyone's cultivation level was suppressed.

Having enjoyed abundant spiritual energy and a light body for so long, the sudden suppression of spiritual energy is quite unsettling.

However, this also proves that the pressure stone has indeed been repaired.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Shi Yinghan sensed her own cultivation level and was somewhat surprised.

"He's not even in the Qi Refining stage, he's still in the Golden Core stage!?"

The others also sensed their own cultivation level.

"Mine too—?"

Why is that?

"...Could it be because of Junior Sister?" Shi Yinghan suddenly asked Ning Yue.

"That's for sure..." Ning Yue said, "My blood is definitely a good thing. Even if the Realm-Suppressing Stone restores it, it will still guarantee that I'm at the Golden Core Realm."

"If you break through, your realm in the lower realms will also rise accordingly."

"I knew my junior sister was awesome, but I didn't expect her to be this awesome," Yang Fei said in a daze.

"Of course, I'm awesome now that I'm at the Golden Core Realm!"

"Now that the pressure stone has been repaired, doesn't that mean the people Qi Bei sent are still at the Qi Refining stage as long as they go to the lower realm?!"

"Then we Golden Core cultivators will crush them, hahaha..." Yang Fei laughed arrogantly.

Ning Yue replied with great pride, "Of course."
