Chapter 0191 – I Heard You Say Only One Thing – Absolute Returns

by GreatBrother(위대한 다오 형제)

Why did Father come?

"Naturally, I’m here to support me."

I knew in my heart that my father was never that simple.

The reason why Quan Demon joined the late-night cultivation party was still confusing, and the fact that his father had come was even more intriguing.

"You really think so?"

The power demon sounded as if he had another opinion about his father’s visit.

I poured him a glass of wine and tested the waters:

"Then, according to Senior’s opinion, what is my father’s intention in coming here?"

The power demon drank it all in one go, without changing his face.

"I’d like to think that he’s here to support your big brother."

"Did they pass messages privately?"

The power demon shook his head.

"And how do you speculate on my father’s mind?"

"Since he’s here, the answer is already obvious. The Sect Leader purposely attended the drinking party after you and I first cultivated together, was it really to celebrate? He is the Sect Leader."

"Of course not."

"That’s right. So why did he come? He’s here to demonstrate, to let you know that he’s been watching your every move."

Although the Power Demon did not know his father like the back of his hand, but to be able to say these words, he must have sensed something.

"So, father ended up on Big Brother’s side?"

"Not exactly."

"Didn’t you just ……"

"I said he’s here to stick up for your opponent, but I didn’t say he’d necessarily support your big brother."

Leaving behind these meaningful words, Quan Demon got up to leave.

"I am grateful for your hospitality today."

"I’m more than happy that senior can join our cultivation gathering."

"Happy?"

Demon Kwon gave me a suspicious look, and swept his gaze over Lee An and Cheon So Hee.

The two of them tensed up, and I saw this and said:

"The two of them are a little out of sorts, but they’re definitely happy inside."

Knowing Lee Ann as I do, she would have wanted to retort "No way" at this point, but she finally nodded vigorously.

"We’re so happy that senior can come!"

"Yes yes yes, senior’s martial arts are world-class, it’s our honor to cultivate with us."

Liam said, and deliberately glared at me.

Devil Quan rightly pretended not to hear it. The most beautiful woman under the sky complimented him on his martial arts, even if he knew that it was a joke, he would definitely not be offended.

In fact, the addition of Kwon Demon has far less of an impact on Lee Ann than Chansuk Hee.

Only her face was red and her voice trembled as she said to the demon of power:

"I have been offended much before, and you may not believe my words …… but I chose to cultivate boxing purely because I look up to senior. I …… want to become someone like you."

I don’t know if it was because of the alcohol, or because she was too nervous, but Cheon Su-hee’s face flushed red. However, the eyes she looked at Quan Demon were filled with sincerity.

"Senior is really very happy to join our cultivation gathering."

The power demon gave her a deep look and turned to go downstairs without a word.

Cheon Su-hee stood powerless as if she was deflated. I cast an approving glance at her and shouted at the back of the power demon:

"Next time you’ll have to treat yourself!"

"There is no next time."

"Maybe next time it’s a pick-me-up for my father?"

The power demon stepped to the doorway and snorted as he turned back.

"Your father? Don’t dream."

After saying that, he left the restaurant without looking back.

Now, there were only three people left, Lee Ann, Chansuhee, and me. Li An and Chansuhee immediately sat down on their chairs like deflated balls.

"Whew…… finally gone."

Liam took a long breath and raised his glass.

"Now we can finally relax. Come on, Gongzi, let’s drink a toast."

I clinked glasses with her and finished my drink.

Chansuhee’s hands were still trembling slightly.

"I …… I’ll slow down a bit before I drink, I can’t hold the glass right now."

She hadn’t felt anything when it was crowded just now, but as the Heavenly Devil and the Devil of Power had both left, she only realized with hindsight what a fantastic night she had experienced. She had actually shared a drink with the Heavenly Demon at the same table, and had even expressed her admiration for Devil Quan in person. This kind of thing, which she hadn’t even dared to think about in the past, had now all happened in a single day.

"Hey, I was really nervous just now, and now I feel sore all over."

"Well? Do you still want to drink now?"

I asked with a smile. Chansuhee’s answer was unexpected.

"It’s exhausting …… but this tension, it doesn’t seem so bad."

Although she’s always in all sorts of panic these days because of me, she is after all the number one Iron Fist of the East Fist Sect, and she’s still the same resilient woman in her bones.

"It’s not whether I can drink it or not, it’s that I want to."

"It seems that the excitement is indeed addictive."

Chansuhee smiled slightly in agreement.

I turned my head to Liam.

"How are you feeling?"

"What else?"

This was the day the Heavenly Demon himself instructed her in martial arts.

"I’m happy not just that the Sect Leader has taught me martial arts."

"And why is that?"

"The fact that he is willing to teach me martial arts means that he has officially recognized me."

Although she didn’t explicitly say so, the fact that her father was able to impart the Bitian Sword Technique to her was tantamount to recognizing her status as a bloodline relative. After all, the Bitian Sword Technique was a unique mastery that was only taught to bloodline relatives.

"This is a day I will never forget. Thank you, Duke."

"What did I do?"

"Didn’t you say to the Bishop before that to you, this was just an ordinary drinking game, but to Li An, it had the potential to change her life? If it wasn’t for your words, this wouldn’t be happening today."

Liam surprisingly took what I said to my father word for word.

"Today, I’m the one who’s really welcome."

I smiled and patted her shoulder. Welcome, Lee Ann.

Just like that, this drinking game at the Windfall Restaurant finally came to an end.

The drinking game may be over, but my day has just begun.

Back at my place, an unexpected person was waiting for me.

My elder brother, Jian Wuya, was standing in the courtyard, looking up at the bright moon in the night sky.

"When did it come?"

"Just arrived."

But judging by his tone, he should have been waiting for a long time. What was he thinking about during this time?

"I had a few drinks with the demon of power, and had I known you were waiting for me, I asked you to come along."

Jian Wuya didn’t say anything and just quietly looked at the moon.
