FORSAKEN IMMORTALS

Chapter 126 - Truly His Daughter



Chapter 126 - Truly His Daughter

Bai Mulan frowned slightly. He could not understand Bai Rouyun’s thoughts. Why would she not want to connect with her family?

He was from a branch of the Bai clan. While he had some low bloodline connection to the main branch, it was so little that he and his entire family were only allowed to work as servants.

He had been given to Bai Liqiang, Bai Rouyun’s father, as a child, and had grown up as his confidant and best friend since then. However, nothing could change the fact that he was merely a servant.

He and the children he would once have would never be able to learn the family martial art techniques, nor would they be able to live a life of luxury, or be young masters or misses.

They would be servants for their entire lives.

When he read up on Bai Rouyun’s life, and after meeting her, he saw how she had been all alone. She was wronged time and time again, but she had never bowed down to the powerful.

Such a person should be happy to accept a backer such as the Bai family, and then use them to turn things around, bullying those who had bullied her before.

However, although Bai Mulan thought so beautifully, he could not understand Bai Rouyun’s real personality. She was not power-hungry, and she did not need or want others to take revenge for her. If she did, she would have let Li Moyun do it for her, but instead, she much rather wanted to do it personally, to feel the sense of relief and happiness.

While Bai Mulan was unable to understand Bai Rouyun’s thoughts, Bai Liqiang was not. His eyes flashed with surprise as he saw the determination and stubbornness in his daughter’s eyes, and could not help but feel slightly gratified.

She resembled him when he was young.

But although she had a tenacious personality, it did not mean anything if her cultivation base could not follow suit. She was currently so weak that she could not even kill an ant in the Wushi Continent.

Everyone began cultivating at the age of five in the Wushi continent. The heaven and earth essence was much denser there too, so the cultivation speed was much swifter than on other continents.

Youths at the same age as Bai Rouyun were at minimum at the Innate Realm, Yellow, or Green Tier, but she was still stuck in the Acquired Realm. He did not have much hope that she would be able to catch up with them.

But for the first time, he felt a slight warmth in his heart, and a bit of affection as he looked at Bai Rouyun.

She was indeed his daughter.

Bai Rouyun was unaware that her stubborn personality was apparently inherited from her father. She was unhappy with him, and was not looking at the reflection in the basin.

"I will leave now," she said decisively. "I am going to tell you once, do not let Bai Mulan follow me. I am not willing to have anyone following me, and my husband has already given me a guard who, although not at the Ascended Realm, is still capable of protecting me."

Bai Liqiang raised an eyebrow in surprise. Her husband was not too bad, even giving her an excellent guard to protect her. Was it true love?

If his daughter had found someone who valued her for who she was, and not for her background, he would not stand in their way.

He owed her much, so he could only wish for her happiness. Even so, he was still a little regretful. She would have been a good piece on his chessboard, yet the guilt made it so that he could accept her choice.

Sighing, he knew that since she had made the decision not to accept Bai Mulan, he should not try to force her, as this would just make her feel repulsion towards her family.

While he had not been able to give her the affection and love a child should grow up having, he still wanted to give her some freedom and respect.

However, a decisive gleam flashed in his eyes. He was not going to let her leave the family. While she was not by their side as a child, she had to be there when she grew older.

She was his child. Even if her body had changed, she could not deny that the soul within it belonged to her, and thus she was still his child. His child could not roam the world for longer than absolutely necessary.

The only reason he did not take her back right now was due to the restrictions that were in place on the prison continent.

Bai Rouyun noticed the decisive gleam in her father’s eyes and frowned slightly. She knew that it would not be easy to escape the chains of the Bai family now that they had located her, but she was not willing to become a tool or a vase that would live in their homes for the rest of her life.

She was a bird that was meant to spread its wings, and soar freely in the sky.

The only one who could ground her was Li Moyun, but she knew that he would not do that, he would soar in the skies with her. She was a phoenix, and he was a dragon; they would be together for the rest of their lives, facing the difficulties and the challenges that would come their way.

Thinking about Li Moyun, a tender smile appeared on her lips. She nodded to Bai Liqiang in the reflection before she turned around and left.

She was rushing to find Little Chu so that he could tell her a way to contact Li Moyun. What she had learned today had truly shocked her heart, and she wanted to share it with him and hear his thoughts.
