Chapter 0023 – I’m Living the Good Life – Absolute Returns

”He has clearly cultivated the Heavenly Demon Body Protecting Technique to the Grand Completion Realm, so why hasn’t he unleashed it? Could it be that it wouldn’t help even if he activated it? Or is it that the battle was so fierce that he simply didn’t have the spare energy to activate the Heavenly Demon Body Protecting Technique?”

His father’s unfathomable cultivation, on the contrary, made his death even more confusing. Hua Wuji, did he really have the ability to kill him?

How I’d like to ask my father.

What really happened that day?

But I couldn’t ask because that hadn’t happened yet.

And, I’ll never know the answer.

Because, it will never happen again.

I looked at my father’s back, and a bitter smile spread across the corners of my mouth, “Father, between us, there is one more secret. More than learning the Heavenly Demon Body Protecting Technique, I am more happy that we have another tacit understanding between us.”

My father didn’t seem to like the word “secret”, and his brows furrowed slightly. I quickly changed the subject and turned around to walk out, “It’s useless even if you’re angry, my mastery of the Four Steps of the Wind God is still higher than yours.”

I executed Quick Step, my body transformed into a stump, and instantly disappeared from the spot.

Just as my figure was about to reach the end of the red carpet.

“Whoosh!”

A strong wind whistled past my ears.

The next moment, I stopped in my tracks.

My father had appeared in front of me at some point.

“Pop!”

He flexed his fingers and struck me hard on my forehead. I didn’t react at all, and even if I wanted to dodge, it was too late.

“Ouch!”

I covered my forehead and grimaced in pain. It wasn’t fake, I felt a rush of gold stars in front of my eyes.

“I thought you were really faster than me.” My father looked at me with a smirk.

As soon as the words fell, his figure disappeared once again.

He first used the Shadow Steps to conceal his figure, then he performed the Quick Steps and returned to the eunuch’s chair. Watching his movements, I once again realized that his understanding of the Four Steps of the Wind God was very different from mine.

I know that he didn’t mean to hit me.

He was showing me that he understood the four steps of the Wind God.

“You used the Wind God’s Four Steps when you went back, so what light skill did you use when you came over just now?” I asked curiously.

“Sky Demon Flight Technique.”

The Heavenly Demon Flight Technique, a lightweight technique created solely by Father.

“Faster than Quickstep?”

“Of course it’s not comparable right now, but when you cultivate the Four Steps of the Wind God to the Grand Completion Realm, then it’s hard to say.”

“When I cultivate to the Grand Completion Realm, we’ll compete again.”

“I’ve already started practicing, and I’ve known what the outcome will be for a long time.”

“That’s not necessarily true, maybe I’ll break through faster than you. After all, I’m young and flexible.”

“I think you have an itchy skin.”

I touched my forehead and realized that a trace of blood had actually seeped out.

“I should have known that I would have let you teach me the Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill.” I said bitterly.

I walked out of the Hall of Heavenly Devils with this “mark of honor” on my head.

It’s a “souvenir” that no amount of money can buy.

I felt that the distance between my father and I was one step closer.

Of course, at times like these, it’s even more important to be careful.

For it is often in the intimacy of human relationships that cracks appear.

This exchange of martial arts was a step forward for both my father and me. Although the arrival of Hua’s martial arts was a foregone conclusion, the situation now was very different from the previous life.

“Which asshole was it? Which ungrateful fellow dares to make a move on the young master?”

When Liam saw the bruise on my forehead, he was on fire, living like an old mother hen protecting her calf.

“Want to know? Want to help me get revenge?” I asked with a smile.

“Of course! Who is it, you say? I’m on my way to ……”

“My dad hit it.”

“……”

“Why don’t you go?”

Li An’s aura immediately weakened, she took a step back, lowered her head and said, “He’s the Sect Leader, I can’t beat him.”

“I am a guard, only responsible for protecting you, not attacking others.”

I couldn’t help but laugh at her seriousness. This kind of light-hearted joke was unthinkable before. Looking at her eyes, which were narrowed into a crescent moon, my mood became pleasant.

“By the way, I’ve been appointed as the Yellow Springs Pavilion Master, and I’ll be going to Yellow Springs Corner for my appointment in a while.” I said, pretending to be careless.

Li An was first stunned, then revealed an incredulous expression, “How can you say such a big happy event so lightly?”

“What’s the big deal?”

“My goodness! Don’t you know what the Yellow Springs Corner is? That’s the Yellow Spring Corner! Even if a Demon Lord made a mistake, he would be sent there to be punished!”

How could she not know? Father sent me there for that very reason.

I become a Yellow Spring???? s news, I’m afraid that it’s going to cause another uproar within the Heavenly Demon God Sect.

“Congratulations, Young Master, congratulations!” Li An returned to his senses and hurriedly congratulated me.

“Thanks.”

“But why did the Sect Leader suddenly appoint you as the Yellow Springs Pavilion Master?” Li An asked in puzzlement.

“Probably feeling guilty after hitting me.” I said half-jokingly.

“You’ve got to be kidding me!”

“As I said, the Heavenly Demon God Sect needs to change. We need to create a place where we don’t need to practice martial arts that hurt the enemy a thousand times and harm ourselves eight hundred times in order to protect others.”

“!”

Li An’s body trembled slightly as she asked in a shaky voice, “You, what do you mean by that?”

“I’m going to make the Heavenly Demon Divine Sect into a sect that won’t turn into this appearance even if they don’t practice the Whole Body Petrification Technique.”

Liam froze, and she stared at me in disbelief, as if she couldn’t believe her ears.

“You… you already knew?”

“Uh-huh.”

She suddenly smiled and said in an easy tone, “It’s the path I’ve chosen for myself.”

“You’re just a kid, that’s not something you should have to endure.”

“No.”

Li An’s tone was unusually firm.

“I clearly remember that day when you told me that practicing full-body petrification kung fu would have side effects and that I should make my own choice. It was my own choice to take this path.”

I couldn’t help but laugh bitterly, what kind of choice was that? She was just a kid, what could I say to her?

In order to protect me, you have to practice this martial art. Can you handle its side effects?

That’s simply coercion.

But I didn’t contradict her, I didn’t want her to doubt herself, I didn’t want her to deny her choices.

“I’ll cure you, trust me, one day I’ll find a way.”
