Chapter 213: The One She Loves Is Yun Yuan? Qian Xunji: I Was Only Joking Earlier
After learning that a blond-haired brat existed...
Qian Xunji immediately wanted to find this blond-haired brat.
"Yuan'er, let's keep an eye on Xue'er over the next few days. I want to know exactly who stole my little angel's heart!"
"I'm with you. As her mother, I also want to know who Xue'er's sweetheart is."
Ling Yuan agreed with Qian Xunji's suggestion.
From then on...
For several days in a row...
The two of them hid in the shadows, observing Qian Renxue's every move.
But every day, she was either slacking off while cultivating and reading novels or running toward Atlas Hall.
This left Qian Xunji deeply puzzled.
It seemed that catching the blond-haired brat who had stolen his daughter's heart would not be easy.
Qian Xunji looked at Ling Yuan beside him with a puzzled expression.
"Yuan'er, it's already been several days. Why haven't I seen that blond-haired brat? Doesn't Xue'er ever go looking for him?"
Hearing Qian Xunji's question...
Ling Yuan burst into laughter, making Qian Xunji even more confused.
"Yuan'er, why are you laughing?"
Qian Xunji couldn't help asking, his eyes filled with curiosity.
"I'm laughing because you're so dense."
Ling Yuan maintained her smile as she teased him.
For several consecutive days, Xue'er had been traveling only between Atlas Hall and Angel Hall.
As her mother, Ling Yuan, had already figured out who the blond-haired brat Qian Xunji kept talking about was.
But perhaps because he was a father...
The thought simply hadn't occurred to him.
After teasing Qian Xunji, Ling Yuan finally revealed her conclusion.
"Xunji, the blond-haired brat who stole Xue'er's heart, is inside Atlas Hall."
"Now that I've put it that way, you should understand."
"In Atlas Hall..."
Qian Xunji murmured.
Thinking of the only man there...
His eyes instantly widened in disbelief.
"No way! Xue'er's sweetheart is Xiao Yuan?!"
Hearing this, Ling Yuan explained,
"Why wouldn't it be possible? Think about it, Xunji. Xiao Yuan is so outstanding."
"Besides, Xue'er has been inseparable from Xiao Yuan ever since she was little. Now that she's reached the age where young love blossoms, it's perfectly natural for her to fall for him."
At this point, the corners of Ling Yuan's lips curled upward as she looked at Qian Xunji with amusement.
"Oh, right. Didn't someone say he wanted to break that blond-haired brat's legs?"
"Now that we've found him, Xunji, are you going to keep your word?"
Hearing Ling Yuan's teasing...
Qian Xunji awkwardly scratched his head.
He had to admit that he'd spoken a little too loudly a few days ago.
If Xue'er's sweetheart was Yun Yuan...
Then there was absolutely nothing this father could do.
Although he wished Xue'er could find a man who would devote himself entirely to her...
If it were Yun Yuan, then being a little flirtatious wouldn't be entirely unacceptable.
"Well... Yuan'er, I take back what I said a few days ago."
"Xue'er has good taste. If Xiao Yuan became our son-in-law, I'd be completely satisfied. I wholeheartedly approve."
In Qian Xunji's eyes...
Yun Yuan was practically a flawless man, a living legend.
If he were honest with himself, if he had been born a woman...
He might have fallen in love with Yun Yuan, too.
As for Yun Yuan being somewhat of a womanizer...
For someone as legendary as him, that hardly counted as a flaw.
"Then that's settled. Let's leave Xue'er's feelings for her to handle herself."
Just as she had suggested a few days ago, Ling Yuan spoke again.
However...
Qian Xunji disagreed once more.
"Yuan'er, I still don't think that's enough."
Ling Yuan: ???
"Xunji, aren't you afraid that once Xue'er becomes the Angel God, she'll come back and beat you to death with the Angel Holy Sword?"
"Or do you want to experience the power of your prized disciple's Atlas Divine Spear?"
"When either Xiao Yuan or Xue'er makes a move against you, you'll know what regret feels like."
Seeing that Qian Xunji still objected, Ling Yuan couldn't understand him at all.
Could being a father really provide such an absurd courage buff?
Seeing that Ling Yuan had misunderstood him, Qian Xunji smiled helplessly and explained,
"Yuan'er, you've got it all wrong."
"I don't object to Xue'er liking Xiao Yuan in the slightest."
"What I mean is that we can secretly help Xue'er pursue Xiao Yuan."
"After all, Xue'er is so innocent. She definitely won't know how to pursue someone she likes. We can give her some advice from the sidelines so she can get what she wishes for."
Qian Renxue: Sob... Sob... As expected of my real father. I love you so much.
After hearing Qian Xunji's explanation...
Ling Yuan finally understood his intentions.
He actually planned to personally help Xiao Yuan win over his precious daughter.
Thinking back to the way Qian Xunji had wanted to beat that blond-haired brat to death just a few days ago...
Then, looking at how eagerly he was trying to bring Xiao Yuan and Xue'er together now...
Ling Yuan simply smiled, not knowing what to say.
Her husband's change of attitude had been remarkably fast.
After pondering Qian Xunji's proposal for a moment, Ling Yuan finally gave her answer.
"Xunji, I think it's a good idea."
The two looked at each other and smiled faintly.
Inside Angel Hall.
Qian Renxue was still slacking off while cultivating, taking out her little notebook to read.
Just as she was completely engrossed...
Two figures appeared behind her.
"Xue'er, what are you reading?"
Ling Yuan's gentle voice slowly reached Qian Renxue's ears.
Hearing it...
Qian Renxue's ears instantly turned red as she hurriedly stuffed the little notebook into her storage soul tool.
Turning around, she saw that it was her parents.
"Father, Mother, what are you doing here?"
Oh no!
Getting caught secretly reading romance novels by her parents was so embarrassing!
"Hehe, our Xue'er has fallen in love."
"Come on, tell your mother. Which young man has caught your eye? Your father and I can help evaluate him."
Ling Yuan didn't immediately expose Qian Renxue's feelings.
Instead, she gently guided her into opening up.
"Mother, I haven't. Don't talk nonsense."
Qian Renxue lowered her head and muttered softly.
"Really, Xue'er?"
"What a pity. Your father and I were even planning to give you some advice."
Ling Yuan sighed regretfully.
"That's right, Xue'er. Your mother and I are very open-minded. As long as it's something you like or want to do, we'll never object."
Qian Xunji chimed in from the side.
Now that he knew who his daughter's sweetheart was...
Not only was he not angry, but he was actually looking forward to Yun Yuan and Qian Renxue getting together.
"Father, Mother, are you telling the truth?"
Qian Renxue looked up slightly and asked them.
"Of course it's true. Our Xue'er has grown up. You're old enough to date now, though marriage will have to wait a few more years."
Hearing her mother Ling Yuan's reply, a sweet and innocent smile instantly blossomed across Qian Renxue's face.
Seeing that neither Qian Xunji nor Ling Yuan opposed the idea...
Qian Renxue began wondering whether she should tell them that she liked Brother Yun Yuan.
After all, her parents had been through this before.
They surely knew how to pursue the person one loved.
Besides, her father was also Brother Yun Yuan's teacher.
No one understood Brother Yun Yuan better than he did.
