Chapter 0190 – Should I Take You On That Boat Too – Absolute Returns

“You’ve been talking bad about me behind my back for quite some time now.”

Father’s words were accompanied by a few teasing smiles.

“Father, you’re mistaken, how could I speak ill of you?” I smiled and said, “Even if I really want to say it, I definitely won’t say it in front of you… In this world, I’m afraid that only the Martial Arts Alliance would dare to say bad things about you in front of you. Come, quickly have a seat.”

I had long since sensed my father’s arrival, which is why I deliberately said those words, hoping that he would go out more and not always lock himself up in the Heavenly Demon Hall.

“Godfather!”

Li An and Cheon So Hee hurriedly rose to salute, but were stopped by their father’s raised hand.

“No need to be polite.”

Father sat down on the empty seat, and an invisible pressure immediately enveloped the entire elegant room.

It was as if this humble elegant room had instantly turned into the Heavenly Devil’s Hall, which was awe-inspiring.

“What brought you here?” I asked.

“Passing by, came in to see.” Father said lightly.

He said that every time, but I knew for sure he wasn’t just passing through.

Is he here for me, or is he here for the Power Demon?

“Lord Sect Leader, take your time to chat with your son, we will leave first.” Li An said.

“No need, I’ll be leaving soon.” Father said.

“Yes, then we’ll just step aside and be quiet.” Liam said.

The father looked at Liam and suddenly said, “You’ve grown up.”

Liam froze, she didn’t think that her father would even notice her.

“Thank you for the compliment, Sect Leader.”

Liam’s voice, a little shaky.

It was a simple greeting, but it touched Liam.

She looked over at me with joy in her eyes.

”Gongzi, did you see that? The Sect Master still remembers me as a child.”

Father’s gaze, again, fell on Chansuhee.

“I heard that you are the most powerful disciple of the East Fist Sect?”

Qian Su Xi also froze, she did not expect that the Heavenly Demon would know her name.

“No …… is not.”

“Did I hear you wrong?”

“No …… no, Your Holiness, you have not misheard me.”

Chansuhee explained in a panic.

Seeing this, I hurriedly said, “Father, you didn’t hear me wrong, Miss Qian is indeed the most powerful disciple of the East Fist Sect, and I feel that she has great potential, and in the future, she might be able to become the heir of the Power Demon.”

Qian Su Xi became even more flustered as she waved her hand repeatedly and said, “No …… no, I don’t dare, I definitely haven’t thought about becoming a power demon.”

The father’s gaze, turned to the power demon, seemed to be asking his opinion.

Demon Kwon didn’t say anything, but just looked at Cheon So Hee quietly.

“Gongzi, don’t make fun of me.” Qian Su Xi said.

“I’m not kidding, I’m serious.” I said, “Father, what do you think? In the history of the Devil Sect, there has never been a female Power Devil, if Miss Qian can become a Power Devil, it will definitely become a good story.”

I said that on purpose to motivate Cheon Su-hee.

In front of the Heavenly Devil, being praised for having the potential to become a Power Devil was a great honor for any Black Fist Sect disciple.

My father seemed to understand my intentions as he said to Cheon So Hee, “Work hard.”

“Yes!”

Chansuhee responded excitedly.

Father looked at the power demon again and asked, “How have you been doing?”

“Thanks to the Sect Leader’s blessings, everything is fine.” Quan Demon replied respectfully.

No matter how fierce he looked and how powerful he was, in front of his father, he was just a, respectful junior.

“My son, I hear, is always giving you trouble?” Father asked.

“No, I’ve been the one giving him trouble lately.” Demon Quan said.

“What does that mean?”

“Tonight’s party is to welcome me to the squad.” Kwon Demon said.

My father sniffed, then laughed out loud.

In my heart, I secretly slandered, ”You’re really pleasant to the Demon Zuns, how come you always have a stern face when it comes to me?”

Father said to Liam, “This squad of yours is really full of talent.”

“Lord Kwon Demon, he ……”

Li An suddenly got stuck, she didn’t know how to describe the power demon.

When I saw this, I smiled and said, “Lee Ann isn’t good at lying, so don’t give her a hard time.”

Li An hurriedly said, “No, it s not, Lord Quan Demon, he …… is very handsome, very stable, very gentle, and has a good figure, and he is also very good to us.”

In the elegant room, there was a silence.

“In great shape?”

It seemed that Devil Quan also didn’t expect that Li An would say such a thing, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face.

Li An also realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly said, “I …… I just said the wrong thing.”

“No, you’re not wrong, that statement you just made was the only true statement.” I said with a smile.

Li An glared at me fiercely, with a look that seemed to say, “Can’t you be a little more decent? Lord Godfather is still here!”

The father smiled and filled a cup of wine for Quan Demon and said, “This son of mine, he has been mischievous since he was a child, so he has made you suffer.”

Quan Demon respectfully took the glass and drank it down.

Father and the Power Demon, although on the surface they appeared to be cordial, in reality, between them, there was always an invisible barrier.

Quan Demon was always in awe of his father, who, in turn, seemed to deliberately distance himself from him.

Perhaps it was this sense of distance that allowed their relationship, to last.

“Have you ever, before, been to a party like this?” Father asked.

“No.” The power demon replied.

“How does it feel?”

Did Father come here today just to, well, find out how Kwon Demon felt after joining the squad?

“Being with young people makes you feel much younger too.” Quan Demon said.

“Are you old too? I think back then, when we were together at Wutai Mountain, and those guys from the righteous path, we fought for three days and three nights, at that time, you were so spirited and heroic.” Father lamented.

“You remember that incident?” The Power Demon was surprised.

“Of course I remember, you were, well, really handsome.” Father said with a smile.

“That’s because, afterward, I didn’t do anything more handsome, and that’s why you keep remembering that.” Demon Quan said.

Father and Kwon Demon, talking about the past.

The atmosphere between them gradually became cordial.

I realized that my father treats the power demons a little more affectionately than he does the other demons.

Perhaps, the Blood Heavenly Demoness was right, what father appreciated the most, was this kind of Quan Demon, a pure martial arts nerd.

Although Quan Demon was respectful of his father, he always kept a distance when he spoke.

Perhaps it was this sense of distance that allowed their relationship, to last.

After three rounds of wine, Li An finally found the opportunity to say to his father, “I’ve always wanted to find an opportunity to thank you in person for your kindness last time.”

She said, standing up and bowing deeply to her father.

She didn’t say it explicitly, but my father and I both knew that she was referring to the fact that my father had allowed me to teach her the Sorrowful Sky Sword Technique.

“It is destiny for those who practice martial arts to achieve something.” Father said.

Although Li An’s fate was not entirely determined by the Sorrowful Heavenly Sword Technique, it was undeniable that this set of sword techniques did change the trajectory of her destiny.

“I will remember your teachings and cultivate hard to live up to your expectations.” Li An said.
