Chapter 75: The fiancée’s parents are out of line… do they really think their daughter still has a chance?

“Do you still not understand?”

Looking at her stunned daughter, Bai Yuqin spoke earnestly, “Mother means that you should move Ning Bei; since you were the one in the wrong, only by letting him feel your sincerity can you revive his old feelings for you!”

“I…”

Lin Yueyao opened her mouth yet failed to speak;

It was not that she failed to grasp her mother’s meaning; on the contrary, she knew perfectly well how good Ning Bei used to be, and precisely because of that she felt it would be hard to treat him the same way.

“Yueyao, Ning Bei is already planning to have a child with someone else; we are anxious on your behalf… can you still not set aside your pride?”

At that point, Lin Donglai spoke in disappointment.

“Father, that is not what I mean,” Lin Yueyao denied flatly, pressed her lips together, and said, “I just feel that Ning Bei used to treat me so well… I am afraid I cannot do the same for him!”

As she spoke, her eyes reddened.

In the past, Ning Bei had cherished her as though afraid she might fall if held in his palm or melt if held in his mouth, treating her as his entire world…

Every time she recalled his former tenderness, her heart ached like a knife… how had she lost the man whose eyes had once contained only her?

Moreover, he was handsome and outstanding, so perfect that she could not find a single flaw.

She truly had been foolish back then.

Seeing her daughter’s pitiable expression, Bai Yuqin said with aching heart, “Yueyao, your father and I are gratified that you realize this now; rest assured, with the looks Mother gave you, no matter what mistakes you made before, as long as Ning Bei can feel your sincerity, I believe he will surely come back to you.”

Lin Donglai echoed, “Exactly, that lad used to adore you beyond measure; buck up, Yueyao, your mother and I will also visit Ning Bei’s parents and ask them to speak for you.”

Father, Mother.

Lin Yueyao was deeply moved at once.

Tears shimmered in her eyes like pearls; she nodded solemnly and said, “I understand; I will definitely succeed.”

“That’s the spirit!”

The couple exchanged a smile.

A moment later.

The disciples finished bidding their families farewell.

Heavenly Martial Academy then gathered the disciples and prepared to set out on the return journey.

Qin Yu’s disappearance caused only brief surprise, yet given recent events no one looked into it too deeply; or rather, no one cared that he had run away.

Watching the large contingent of Heavenly Martial Academy depart, couples waved farewell.

Liu Yajuan also held Ning Conghua’s arm and said happily, “Conghua, our son is becoming more mature by the day; he is bound to accomplish great things in the future.”

Ning Conghua smiled and conceded, “Indeed, Bei’er shows some of the flair I had in my youth!”

Liu Yajuan rolled her eyes and shoved him in exasperation, “Shameless.”

“In-law.”

At that moment, Lin Donglai and Bai Yuqin came over.

…

Ning Conghua and his wife froze for a moment.

The next instant, they linked arms, turned around, and left, as if unwilling to have anything more to do with the other couple.

“Hey, in-laws, no need to avoid us like this, right?”

The Lin couple hurried after them and said.

Frowning, Liu Yajuan looked back and said, “The engagement between Ning Bei and Lin Yueyao has been annulled, so stop calling us in-laws; we have nothing to discuss with you.”

“Sister, you can’t say that!” Bai Yuqin coaxed with a smile, “As the saying goes, if you won’t give face to the monk, at least give face to Buddha; it’s fine if you dislike us, but that child Yueyao… she truly respected you as her own mother before!”

?

Hearing that, Liu Yajuan doubted her sanity and retorted, “Bai Yuqin, what nonsense are you spouting? Do you not know your daughter’s temperament? She respected me as her mother? Every time we met it was always us who greeted her first!”

“Yes, our Yueyao is not good at expressing her feelings, but she is kind at heart!”

Bai Yuqin forced an awkward smile and went on, “We just want to talk properly about the children reconciling in the future…”

“Reconcile?”

At that, Ning Conghua grew unhappy, “Your daughter chose to insert herself with that Crap King! Now that she has found he is inferior to my son, she wants to get back together? Is she taking my child for a fool? I’m telling you, there is no way that will happen!”

“Exactly, my son has already found such a wonderful daughter-in-law… how is she not better than your daughter?” Liu Yajuan chimed in.

“Brother Ning, Sister-in-law, please don’t be angry yet.”

Lin Donglai tried to ease the tension and said with a placating smile, “We know Ning Bei has found an excellent Dao companion; we are not here to break them up, we simply want to discuss a possible outcome with you.”

“What outcome?”

…

The Lin couple exchanged a glance, as though communicating telepathically.

Bai Yuqin took a small step forward and lowered her voice, “What do you think about letting Yueyao become Ning Bei’s concubine?”

Parents: “???”

…

After leaving the capital.

Ning Bei then approached Wuyue and said, “Old man, the last time I led a team to train at Shura Cliff I discovered a place that might conceal a fortuitous chance, but we had no time to explore it; I want to go again.”

“Right now?”

“Yes.”

“…Very well.” After a brief thought, Wuyue decided, “Then we will head to Shura Cliff first; it will be a good experience for this group of disciples.”

Ning Bei accepted with a smile;

Given his current status in Heavenly Martial Academy, he did not have to worry about splitting the Thunder-Dragon essence blood in the end; that blood could only be his.

As for other opportunities… those could be shared.

…

Shura Cliff.

“Ha-ha, I’m damned brilliant!”

As the spot marked on the sheepskin grew ever closer, Qin Yu’s hands trembled with excitement.

At that moment, he even felt like crying.

With an ordinary body devoid of cultivation, he had crossed mountains and rivers to reach this place, which the world hailed as an extremely dangerous no-man’s-land; it was fair to say that if he encountered even one demonic beast… he would be as good as dead!

Yet on this entire journey he had not seen the shadow of a single beast, as though an invisible force were protecting a useless wretch like him.

However, he did not believe it was luck… given all the chaotic misfortunes he had suffered, how could any of them be linked to luck?

Therefore, he credited it all to his own cleverness!

He had anticipated the dangers in advance and avoided the main roads, deliberately taking poor trails to steer clear of the beasts.

“Several days have passed; I wonder whether Mother has managed to get back with her childhood sweetheart.”

Thinking of that, Qin Yu could no longer smile.

“The sky will rain, Mother will remarry.”

“Right, I should feel happy for her; at least… at least she is pretty enough to find someone to take over.”

Qin Yu tried to console himself thus; yet while he lied to himself aloud, he knew the truth in his heart: “Damn it… why does my mother have to live such a hard life?!”

“Damn! Curse that Ning Bei… it’s all your fault… everything is because of you.”

Qin Yu’s face twisted in rage.

He suddenly realized that anything connected to Ning Bei, whether he was active or passive… even hiring Kui An in secret to kill Ning Bei’s parents… always ended in disaster for him.

Thus he blamed everything on Ning Bei, feeling that Ning Bei was his bane.

“Hmph… last time you stole my Blood Ganoderma… this time, let’s see you steal my opportunity again!”

Qin Yu gritted his teeth and put away the sheepskin.

He refused to believe it.

Could Ning Bei still cut him off when he had arrived at Shura Cliff without a sound this time?

If so, he might as well die.

Yet he had not walked far when voices suddenly reached his ears; and it was definitely more than one or two people.
