He would often lie to him, saying that naughty children would be taken away by the police.

While this educational approach cannot be said to be entirely correct, it did effectively curb Chen Yuze's unruly nature at least when he was a child.

To be honest, he is still very grateful for his parents' upbringing, which prevented him from becoming a disliked brat when he was young.

However, compared to boys who are naturally mischievous, You Rong is actually quite well-behaved.

Therefore, Chen Yuze felt it best to avoid doing things like scaring her in the future.

Girls should be treated with gentleness.

"Come on, little girl. It's rare that I have free time after finishing my writing today, I'll go swing with you~"

"Okay~"

168. The Unsettled Qionghua Immortal Sect

On the continent of China, in the Central Plains, at the Qionghua Immortal Sect.

For the past few days, a suffocatingly oppressive atmosphere has permeated the solemn main hall of the sect.

On the sect leader's throne, a man who looked to be in his early forties was breathing in spiritual energy with his eyes closed.

But upon closer inspection, one cannot detect that his brows were always furrowed.

Beside the middle-aged man, a beautiful woman who bore a striking resemblance to Lu Qianya was anxiously staring at the entrance of the main hall, seemingly waiting for someone to arrive.

The man and woman were Lu Qianya's biological parents.

Lu Haoran, the current leader of the Qionghua Immortal Sect.

And Zhou Zhixuan, the current head wife of the Qionghua Immortal Sect and the head of the Library Pavilion.

Ever since Lu Qianya was kidnapped by Cheng Wanli, her mother hasn't slept a wink. Her beautiful face is etched with worry and concern for her daughter.

If it weren't for the need to maintain the proper demeanor of a sect leader's wife in front of the disciples, this poor woman would probably have been living a life of constant tears.

Although Lu Qianya's father didn't show it as obviously as the child's mother, he had long been worried sick about his missing daughter.

If he were to catch that damned Cheng Wanli, Lu Haoran would definitely use the most cruel torture in the world on him, torturing him to death.

Apart from Lu Haoran and his wife, most of the other elders in the hall also looked embarrassed.

It's important to understand that Lu Qianya's identity is far more complex than simply being the daughter of Lu Haoran and his wife. Besides being the daughter of the sect leader, she is also the most renowned and talented disciple in the entire Qionghua Immortal Sect.

Even in the entire history of the Qionghua Immortal Sect, Lu Qianya's talent and aptitude can be considered among the best.

If Lu Qianya can grow up and successfully become the next sect leader of Qionghua Immortal Sect, then the future of the entire Qionghua Immortal Sect will be limitless.

However, this child, on whom so much hope was placed, unfortunately fell into the hands of Cheng Wanli, that notorious womanizer.

This kind of awful feeling is ten or even a hundred times worse than having your game account, which you've played diligently for years, stolen and melted down by some scoundrel.

However, several days have passed since Lu Qianya was abducted. Yet, the Qionghua Immortal Sect still hasn't been able to find any trace of Cheng Wanli. It's as if he vanished into thin air along with Lu Qianya.

As time went on, various rumors and speculations began to circulate.

Some cultivators from outside the sect even used Lu Qianya's experience to mock, ridicule, and humiliate the disciples of the Qionghua Immortal Sect.

As a result, in recent days, the disciples of the Qionghua Immortal Sect have clashed with cultivators from the outside world in several large and small conflicts.

If this situation is allowed to continue to escalate, the morale of the entire Qionghua Immortal Sect will likely suffer a severe blow.

"I say, senior brother, isn't it about time you accepted reality?"

A slightly jarring sound suddenly rang out in the silent hall.

The one who spoke was a thin man with a hooked nose and a mustache.

This person was none other than Lu Haoran's junior brother, Wang Defa.

However, although Lu Haoran and Wang Defa were both disciples of the previous leader of the Qionghua Immortal Sect.

However, the two have completely different temperaments.

If Lu Haoran gives the impression of a stern yet dignified elder, then Wang Defa gives the impression of a gloomy and eccentric old man.

This is why their relationship wasn't very good when they were young, and they often clashed over disagreements.

In the election for the leadership of this generation, Lu Haoran and Wang Defa even had a major battle.

Although Lu Haoran ultimately won, Wang Defa has never truly submitted to him over the years.

"Reality?"

Hearing those unpleasant words, Lu Haoran immediately slammed his hand on the armrest of the sect leader's throne, then glared at Wang Defa: "Junior brother, what is this so-called reality you speak of?"

To this, Wang Defa couldn't help but let out a sneer:

"Senior brother, do you really enjoy deceiving yourself like this? Who stole Qianya? It was the notorious Cheng Wanli! Everyone knows Cheng Wanli's methods. Now that so many days have passed, even if Qianya isn't dead, she should be pregnant with the Cheng family's bastard child by now, right? Of course, whether Qianya will live to give birth to this bastard child, and whether senior brother will be able to become a grandfather, I have no idea~"

"you!

fart!"

Before Lu Haoran could speak, Zhou Zhixuan had already raised the teacup on the table and smashed it towards Wang Defa's forehead.

With Wang Defa's cultivation level, dodging this blow would have been an easy task.

This time, however, he not only didn't dodge, but he even took the initiative to withdraw his protective spiritual energy, letting the teacup smash a hole in his forehead.

In just a short while, blood flowed down Wang Defa's face, forming a small river.

"Hehe, Zhou Zhixuan, what a show of power you're making! Have you forgotten that love letter you wrote to me back then?"

"Stop trying to glorify yourself. Not only did you kill my carrier pigeon, but you also stole the letter I wrote to Brother Haoran and went around telling everyone that the letter was written to you. I've never met a man more shameless than you in my life."

Wang Defa's words only made Zhou Zhixuan angrier.

However, Wang Defa seemed not to have heard Zhou Zhixuan's words and continued speaking to himself:

"In short, Lu Qianya is no longer qualified to be a candidate for the leadership of my Qionghua Immortal Sect. Putting aside whether she can come back alive, even if she does, with her filthy body, she is not qualified to lead my Qionghua Immortal Sect. You don't really want to put the future of the Qionghua Immortal Sect on a slut who has been defiled by Cheng Wanli, do you?"

"Wang! De! Fa!"

Hearing Wang Defa's increasingly outrageous remarks, Lu Haoran could no longer sit still this time.

"The dust has not yet settled, so I advise you not to spout nonsense!"

"I spouted nonsense? Oh yes, yes, yes!"

Amused, Wang Defa continued to speak his mind, saying, "What if your precious daughter never comes back? Will this dust never settle down? The position of sect leader in our Qionghua Immortal Sect has always been held by the most capable. Now that Qianya is not coming back, shouldn't we groom my adopted son, whose talent is second only to Qianya's, as the next sect leader of Qionghua Immortal Sect, my dear senior brother?"

"Wang Defa, I am the head of the Qionghua Immortal Sect! It's not your place, an enforcement elder, to tell me what to do!"

"Whatever you want then." With an indifferent shrug, Wang Defa then left the main hall.

However, before leaving, he didn't forget to deliberately annoy Lu Haoran and his wife:

"Anyway, everyone knows whether Qianya is dead or alive. I want to see how long you two can keep up your stubbornness~ Hehe~"

169. So filial! (Third watch)

Time flies when you're in the mountains; a few days pass in the blink of an eye.

After spending these days together, Lu Qianya still hadn't fully adapted to life in the Chen family's courtyard.

After all, Chen Yuze's family is just too outrageous.

Their lifestyle completely overturned Lu Qianya's understanding of 'cultivation' over the past twenty years.

It's one thing that the daily meals consist of rare and precious ingredients rich in spiritual energy.

But to have so much spiritual energy in the water we drink every day is a bit too much!

Besides eating and drinking, you can also increase your cultivation level by soaking in hot springs or swinging on a swing.

Even when passing through the first-floor corridor, the Taoist charm emanating from the painting on the wall inexplicably deepens one's understanding of the laws of heaven and earth.

Yesterday, Lu Qianya even entered a state of enlightenment after drinking a cup of tea that her senior brother Yuze had casually brewed.

To be honest, if one could stay in this little courtyard for a hundred years, even a maggot could easily attain immortality!

These past few days have felt like a dream for Lu Qianya.

Just now, Lu Qianya's senior brother Yuze seems to have come up with something new again.

"Time for some soda!"

At Chen Yuze's shout, the girls in the courtyard almost instantly put down what they were doing and gathered around Chen Yuze.

Although Lu Qianya didn't know what "happy water" was, she still went over out of curiosity.

On the stone table in the courtyard, several beautiful transparent teacups were placed.

The teacup was filled with a brownish-red liquid.

But to Lu Qianya's surprise, the liquid was constantly bubbling.

The moment Lu Qianya saw it, she instinctively associated it with the word 'highly poisonous'.

"Senior Brother Yuze, why is this soda constantly bubbling? It looks kind of creepy."

In order not to make too much of a fool of herself in front of her senior brother Yuze, Lu Qianya decided to ask him some questions before picking up her drink.

"That's because I added something called baking soda to this soda."

Chen Yuze stroked his chin and explained simply, "In my hometown, many drinks use soda. It might seem strange to someone seeing it for the first time, but once you take a sip, you'll fall in love with it."

Is it really that amazing?

Seeing that Senior Brother Yuze had already said so much, Lu Qianya naturally stopped dawdling. She picked up the cup, examined it for a moment, and then took small sips of the brownish liquid inside.

As a result, the moment the liquid entered her mouth, Lu Qianya showed an expression of utter astonishment.

It's icy cold, sweet, and most importantly, it has a very stimulating sensation.

It's as if countless little people are in their own world.

It dances on the tongue.

So, after experiencing the joy that the soda brought, Lu Qianya drank several more mouthfuls.

In no time, the glass of soda was empty.

Only after putting down her cup did Lu Qianya look at Chen Yuze with a satisfied expression:

"Senior Brother Yuze, this soda is really delicious—woohoo!?"
