1789 Father Emperor and Father

　　Chu Liuyue’s eyes stung as she quickly walked over. “Father Emperor!”

　　Seeing her move, Shangguan You hurried over.

　　When the father and daughter met, they actually looked at each other in silence.

　　Shangguan You looked her up and down, something seemingly stirring in his eyes. After a while, he said, “Yue’er, you’ve lost weight.”

　　A thousand words gathered in his chest, but his throat was extremely dry. In the end, he only said such a short sentence.

　　His voice also sounded a little shaky.

　　Chu Liuyue blinked, retracted the tears in her eyes, and smiled brightly. “Long time no see. How have you been, Father Emperor?”

　　Shangguan You hurriedly replied, “Good! Good! Everything is fine on my side, and so is the Tianling Dynasty! It’s… it’s just that I miss you…”

　　How could he not? After their last farewell, he had thought that she would only be going to the God Residence Realm for a short while and would return home soon. Unexpectedly, so much time had passed in the blink of an eye.

　　She didn’t go back, but he came here.

　　“Is it too tiring for Yue’er to be here?” Shangguan You’s heart ached when he saw that her face had clearly lost some weight.

　　Chu Liuyue smiled brightly. “Father, you’re overthinking! Look at me—my strength has increased a lot!”

　　Only then did Shangguan You notice that her aura had indeed intensified a lot compared to when they separated.

　　“This… Yue’er, you’ve broken through to a true god?!” Shangguan You asked in shock.

　　Chu Liuyue nodded and held his hand again. “It’s a long story. I’ll explain it to you in detail when I’m free later!”

　　Her father knew almost nothing about what had happened to her in the God Residence Realm, including the fact that she had already broken through to become a true god a few years ago when she came to the God Residence Realm, as well as the many things that had happened before and after she regained her memories.

　　She hadn’t told her father in the past because she was afraid that he would worry. But now, it was indeed time to tell him all of that.

　　Shangguan You nodded vigorously. “I’ll listen to you! As long as you’re willing to tell me, I’m willing to listen!”

　　Chu Liuyue’s heart felt warm.

　　At this moment, Rong Xiu also walked forward and greeted Shangguan You. “I haven’t formally introduced myself to you before. I’m Rong Xiu, His Grace of the Sky-Cloud Empire. Greetings, Lord Shangguan.”

　　Rong Xiu’s attitude was very respectful.

　　Shangguan You looked at him with emotion.

　　Actually, he already knew that Rong Xiu’s identity was unusual, but he didn’t expect it to be even more shocking than he had expected!

　　The ruler of an aristocratic family, the famous god of war in the God Residence Realm!

　　In the past, Shangguan You only thought that Rong Xiu was gentle, polite, and had an extraordinary bearing. No matter what happened, he would always be calm.

　　Now that they saw each other again, Shangguan You finally realized that Rong Xiu’s calm aura was because he had the confidence to be powerful!

　　How could an ordinary person have such an aura?

　　“…I had to trouble you to take care of Yue’e,” Shangguan You said.

　　Rong Xiu chuckled. “This is just my responsibility.”

　　I will naturally protect my woman.

　　Shangguan You heaved a sigh of relief. I was initially a little worried that the difference in status between the two of them was a bit big, but from Rong Xiu’s attitude, there is no need to worry about this. Yue’er hasn’t chosen the wrong person.

　　At this moment, another announcement sounded.

　　Everyone in the hall turned around and saw three figures walking over.

　　Many people knew the one at the front—it was the famous Shangguan Jing!

　　The old man beside him was white-haired and sage-like, and his aura couldn’t be underestimated. It was the director of Ling Xiao Academy, Nan Suhuai!

　　Nan Suhuai was very famous, but not many people had seen him. After all, the number of people who had been to Ling Xiao Academy in the entire Sky-Cloud Empire could be counted on one hand.

　　In the past few years, Nan Suhuai had disappeared without a trace and had never appeared much. Thus, there were even fewer people who recognized him.

　　Many people looked surprised. As the director of Ling Xiao Academy, Nan Suhuai has always maintained a neutral attitude and rarely goes to other aristocratic families in the God Residence Realm. Now, he has come directly to the Sky-Cloud Empire… Is he here for Shangguan Yue?

　　Some people looked at the woman in red standing in the hall. Previously, we had heard that Shangguan Yue was actually Nan Suhuai’s personal disciple. Moreover, Nan Suhuai seemingly values her very much and dotes on her very much. Now, it seems that she lives up to this reputation!

　　Nan Suhuai actually came to the Sky-Cloud Empire without a word for her! His appearance with Shangguan Jing is enough to show his stand—he is here to support Shangguan Yue!

　　Everyone in the hall chatted with Shangguan Jing and Nan Suhuai, but when they saw the third person, they were surprised and confused. Who… who is this person?

　　Sensing those gazes sizing him up, Chu Ning frowned slightly but quickly returned to normal.

　　It was true that he came from the worst background here. If it weren’t for Yue’er, he wouldn’t even have a chance to go to the Tianling Dynasty, let alone come to the God Residence Realm and be in the same room as an aristocratic family like the Sky-Cloud Empire.

　　If it were the old him, he might really be a little nervous and uneasy facing this scene, but not anymore. He had been through too much recently.

　　The boundless pain and torture hadn’t made him lower his head. Now, all of this was a small matter.

　　It had to be said that although those nightmarish days had caused him deep pain, they had indeed changed him greatly from the inside out. That was something he had never thought of before, but it now seemed… so-so.

　　It was also because of this that Chu Ning’s attitude was especially open and natural. Standing beside Shangguan Jing… Although his aura couldn’t be compared to theirs, his calm attitude wasn’t inferior at all.

　　Someone couldn’t help but whisper, “Strange… He’s just a stage-one warrior. Why does he have such an aura?”

　　A stage-one warrior was inferior to many children in the Sky-Cloud Empire. However, his expression was calm and natural as if he didn’t feel embarrassed at all.

　　Many people heard this.

　　Chu Liuyue raised her brows slightly. Perhaps he is afraid since Rong Xiu and the others are here, but the person who spoke was actually quite polite. However, it’s hard to say what he is thinking.

　　Chu Liuyue was calm and composed. She knew what these people were really thinking, and she understood why they would react like this. However, there was nothing to care about.

　　Chu Ning had the Indestructible Holy Body. As long as he cultivated well, he would definitely advance by leaps and bounds.

　　At that time, many of the people here would probably lose to him.

　　“Father, let me introduce you.” Chu Liuyue pulled Shangguan You over. “Ancestor—you know him, so I won’t say anything else. This is the director of Ling Xiao Academy and my master. And this is my father when I was in Yaochen.”

　　That sounded awkward.

　　Shangguan You looked enlightened. “You… are Chu Ning?”

　　Chu Ning had already understood the person’s identity when he heard her address him.

　　His heart tightened. “Yes.”
