As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

Chapter 902 - 279: My Daughterʼs Coming of Age, A Motherʼs Prestige Through Her Daughter, The Second Full Assembly of the Underworld [Seeking Monthly Ticket]_4

The Third Elder of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect Inner Gate, Ding Zi, a female Elder, gracefully arrived in front of Yun E and recruited her as a True Successor under her tutelage.

The Yun Family Patriarch, Yun Sanxiao, immediately expressed gratitude to Ding Zi for her recognition of Yun E.

Ding Zi, the Third Elder of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect Inner Gate, also one of the three Martial Saint-level combat powers.

She was the only female Divine Fetus Practitioner in the Qian Yuan Divine Sect.

With Ding Ziʼs recognition, Yun Eʼs future destiny would no longer be reduced to a sacrificial pawn for the Yun Familyʼs politically motivated marriages.

Yun E officially escaped her dark fate.

Lv Taibaiʼs Direct Disciple assessment officially came to an end, and no one could have imagined that the one to ultimately become the Direct Disciple of the Taibai God would be a five-year-old little girl.

At first, nobody had high hopes for Xi Xi.

Gongshu Wentian, Xuan Yue, Gu He, and others from the Ancient Families and Divine Sect disciples were strong contenders, but these favorites have now all fallen out of the race.

Xi Xi held Li Cheʼs hand and approached Jin Taixui, who was guarded by two Divine Fetus Practitioners from Wushen Mountain.

Jin Taixui stood quietly in place and did not leave.

It seemed he was waiting for Xi Xi.

”Evil Minister, are you admitting defeat or not?!”

Xi Xi stuffed Gou Za into her collar, crossed her arms, puffed up her chubby belly, and excitedly shouted.

”Donʼt forget our wager!”

Li Che stood behind Xi Xi, the corner of his lips faintly smiling, his gaze resting on Jin Taixui.

The two Divine Fetus Practitioners from Wushen Mountain were furious, but they dared not act rashly.

After all, the distant glances of strong cultivators like Lv Taixuan and Zhao Fangzhou swept over them intermittently, locking them in place.

If they dared show any signs of discontent.

They could easily be accused of attempting to assassinate the Qian Yuan Divine Sect Young Sect Master...

Even if the Great Witch God himself came, he wouldnʼt be able to argue against such accusations.

After all, attempting to assassinate the Qian Yuan Divine Sect Young Sect Master was no different from someone trying to assassinate Wushen Mountainʼs Young Witch God.

Jin Taixui was merely among the ranks of Young Witches, and to advance to the rank of Young Witch God, he must first rise within the Young Witches.

The position of Young Witch God was even higher than that of a Young Witch.

Jin Taixui looked at Xi Xi.

”Iʼve never denied it; Iʼve been waiting for you.”

On his painted face, Jin Taixui slowly removed his Young Witch Divine Robe.

The previously smug Xi Xi tilted her head, baffled by Jin Taixuiʼs earnestness and sincerity.

Wasnʼt he supposed to react like Ji Haihui? With silence, a turned-back denial?

Jin Taixui handed the Young Witch Divine Robe to one of the Elders of Wushen Mountain.

”Please inform the Great Witch God upon your return that Taixui has lost. He accepts defeat and will remain here as the servant of Li Nuanxi.”

”After 60 years, Taixui will return to offer his formal apology.”

Jin Taixui then removed the Purple Gold Bell from his neck and handed it to the Elder of Wushen Mountain.

As he released his grip, the Purple Gold Bell rang lightly, his trembling hands betraying his emotions. His eyes brimmed with relentless tears.

He bit his lip, his vision blurred by tears.

He accepted the wager and admitted defeat.

Though humiliating, Jin Taixui vowed to etch this shame deeply within himself.

”Young Witch... Alas...”

Holding Jin Taixuiʼs Divine Robe, the Elder of Wushen Mountain let out a long sigh.

After exchanging a solemn glance with Jin Taixui, they knew he had made his decision and refrained from further discourse.

With a light tap of their toes, their figures vanished without a trace.

With their departure, the severance of Jin Taixuiʼs ties to Wushen Mountain was complete; he had truly accepted his defeat.

Jin Taixui wiped away his tears and took a deep breath.

Then, he gazed upon Li Nuanxi and her puffed-out belly.

He bowed, dropped to one knee.

”Jin Taixui...”

”Pays his respects to the Master.”

Xi Xi looked at Jin Taixui kneeling with one knee down, her large eyes softening slightly.

He addressed Xi Xi the Emperor as his Master, huh.

This was far better...

...than Ji Haihui, the Evil Minister.

”Alright!”

Xi Xi reached out her chubby little hand and patted Jin Taixuiʼs purple hair, billowing in the wind.

”Rest assured that as long as you serve Emperor Xi Xi, Emperor Xi Xi will protect you forever!”

...

...

Li Che didnʼt fully trust Jin Taixui, but after Jin Taixui accepted defeat and became Xi Xiʼs servant, he followed Xi Xi everywhere she went.

After observing him for a while, Li Che discreetly placed a Flying Thunder Chess Piece into Jin Taixuiʼs body.

Should anything happen with Jin Taixui, Li Che would be alerted immediately.

Through the Flying Thunder Chess Piece...

Jin Taixui would come to understand the concept of fatherly love.

Xi Xi becoming the Direct Disciple of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect Master was a revelation that brought glory to Li Cheʼs family in Liuxiang Lane.

The Yun Family, Zhou Family, Zhong Family, Sang Family, and other noble families all sent gifts to celebrate.

Their courtyard doors were nearly worn down with visitors.

Late at night, under the stars.

After sending away the last batch of messengers from noble families, Li Che closed the courtyard gate in Liuxiang Lane.

Xi Xi was already taken back to the Sect Master Peak of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect by Lv Taibai.

Originally, Zhang Ya wanted Xi Xi to stay another night in the courtyard at Liuxiang Lane.

”As the Young Sect Master of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect, her responsibilities have grown… Her safety can no longer be overlooked as it once was.”

Lv Taibai explained with a smile.

”Now that sheʼs the Young Sect Master of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect... Xi Xi might rank within the top three on the Hunting God Pavilionʼs bounty list...”

”Back in my day as Young Sect Master, I even made it to the top of Qianyuan Taoist Cityʼs Hunting God Pavilion bounty list… surpassing my Great God mentor.”

Lv Taibaiʼs explanation made Zhang Yaʼs face pale slightly, and even Li Che couldnʼt help but grow solemn.

Hunting God Pavilion...

A specialized assassin organization; indeed, precautions must be taken.
