Chapter 483 - 219: Xufu Town’s Small Matters! Wei Laoshi’s Big Gossip! _5
The atmosphere was terrible.
If only Yuchi were by my side right now. But I have no idea where he could be. He’s nowhere to be found in Canglan City. Could he have already returned to Xufu Town? Or maybe he’s gone back to Jiangzhou City? Should I go and find him?
At the very least, I should apologize, apologize for my father’s reckless actions, right?
Thinking of this, Song Yinghan couldn’t help herself any longer. She repeated once more, "Father, I only have two choices right now. Either I leave the Stargazer Platform and find my own life, or I join another sect. I really cannot endure you controlling me like this."
A woman must get married, let alone the fact that I like Yuchi. Are you really going to stop me from finding him now? Don’t you realize he came to Canglan City to help us investigate these cases? And yet, you just choke him like this? What kind of logic is that?
Song Qingshan continued to refuse:
"I have told you more than once, if you leave the Stargazer Platform, that’s considered a betrayal of the Stargazer Platform. At that point, our relationship won’t be as simple as father and daughter. By then, we’ll have to deal with this according to the laws of the Stargazer Platform. Not just you, but even Yuchi behind this will also face our attacks!"
"Haha, do you think a mere youth can withstand my attacks? Even if it costs my life, I will take his life."
You’re possessed, aren’t you?! Song Yinghan was completely shocked!
This was her own father, right? Has he gone mad, clinging onto face until he suffers?
Even an outsider could see the powerful influence behind Yuchi. Does he genuinely think Yuchi is on his own?
First, Yuchi has a very good relationship with the Celestial Craft Workshop. Even if people in the smaller towns don’t know about it, since the Celestial Craft Workshop doesn’t have outlets there, you, being an inspector of the Celestial Capital Department, should certainly know its power, right?
Second, people from one sect truly have a better relationship with him. Many disciples look at Yuchi with admiration. This is not just a simple junior uncle role. It represents that people genuinely respect him. If he’s in danger, do you think you’d be spared?
Third, he’s also the president of a commercial association. Why do you inexplicably belittle this president? You were the one who praised Yuchi as a renowned businessman back then, and now you’re the one calling him a small-time player? Doesn’t it break your heart? Obviously, everything he’s done is from a governmental standpoint.
Song Yinghan felt exhausted, truly worn out. This kind of family conflict held no meaning: "Then I will join another sect, and if you really have the skills, come and kill me at the sect."
Song Qingshan immediately flew into a rage, "Do you really want to defy me?"
"How am I truly defying you!? Are you giving me a chance!? I still don’t know what Yuchi has done wrong. Did he rob our Stargazer Platform of gold and silver, or did he bring disaster to the world?" Song Yinghan became even angrier immediately.
Even a clay figurine has a temper. Who can endure such forced orders like this?!
Not to mention, what did Yuchi do wrong?
"His fault lies in being a mortal, a mere mortal helping us make money, just a useless tool!!"
"He’s just a dog helping the government make money. When there’s a problem, we can feed the dog, but you want to marry the dog?!"
"Are you still a cultivator? Are you still part of our Stargazer Platform?!!" Song Qingshan shouted almost like a roar, causing ripples to surge against the barrier outside the dialogue, even making the Black Armor Mask turn blood red.
Song Yinghan was stunned.
So, it’s finally spoken out loud. You just look down on Yuchi for being a mortal, don’t you? Well, it doesn’t matter; you look down on him, and you’re renowned and esteemed; that’s fine. But I do respect him. I’m not that arrogant.
But will I just walk away so simply? No way. After all, Yuchi and I have been involved for so long.
"Your logic is flawed." Forcibly suppressing her inner anger, Song Yinghan strived to consider things from Yuchi’s perspective.
As Song Qingshan fumed in silence, she calmly added:
"First, it is the mortals who first paid the taxes, the mortals who run the world, the mortals who gather the elixirs; it was mortals who came before us."
"Second, mortals helped us grow step by step, yet after we have grown, we try all means to sever ties with mortals? This is the so-called self-exaltation? I admit, initially, I also looked down on Yuchi a bit, thought he was strange, but after spending time together, I understood his standpoint!"
"Third, what is his standpoint? He always thinks from the perspective of mortals! He is a mortal now, but even if he were a cultivator, he wouldn’t be arrogant and outrageous like us, saying insulting things! Nor would he leverage his cultivation strength to oppress mortals, denying them even basic opportunities for marriage!"
"Fourth, I just want to ask, the disciples raised on your Stargazer Platform, did they come from stones? Are the parents of their disciples all cultivators? Are all your disciples the offspring of cultivator unions? I don’t think so, do I? Over ninety percent of cultivators’ parents are mortals, right? By looking down on Yuchi, aren’t you looking down on your disciples’ parents too? Are they also dogs?"
