Inheriting A Divine Cultivation Clan At The Start, All My Juniors Are Empresses

Meanwhile, over on Li Yixun’s side, he still hadn’t recovered, completely blindsided.

Yuchi forcibly held back his laughter. He looked at Li Yixun, then at Li Niantao beside him. He drew in a deep breath and said with extreme seriousness, "I forged this blade with my own hands. It’s the latest result of my recent study of forging. I know that compared with other blades on the market, this one definitely isn’t the best, it doesn’t even rank anywhere."

"But this is the best sincerity I can offer. I hope that with the protection of this blade, My Lady’s life can be even more clean and efficient from now on! You have to know, a blade can protect its master. With this blade, some of the petty villains around My Lady won’t dare come close anymore!"

"I hope My Lady will like this gift I’ve prepared."

Sure, sure. It was clearly bought for a tael or two of silver, and belonged under the "buy peach blossoms, knife comes free" category. Then Honest Yuchi just straight-up bullshitted it into "personally forged."

Looking at it this way, Li Niantao basically had no choice but to accept it. She immediately looked over at her old man Li Yixun. Li Yixun wiped the sweat from his forehead and quietly gave a little nod. Li Niantao understood at once, hugged the heavy blade and said, "Uh, uh... then thank you for this gift. Niantao is very happy. I hope that in the future I’ll be able to share a meal with you, Uncle Zong. I really hope to gain a lot of life experience from you!"

As she spoke, Li Niantao whipped out the long blade in one go. With the long blade in hand, the world is mine. A delicate young lady in a splendid dress actually started moving right on the spot. Each frown and each smile was accompanied by an imposing blade-work, leaving Yuchi staring dumbfounded. What the hell, what is this mortal girl doing?

Playing with blades?

"Your daughter plays with blades?!" Yuchi looked at Li Yixun in disbelief. Who on earth could’ve seen that coming.

"Yes." Li Yixun nodded with a bitter face.

Yuchi got it. He immediately bowed deeply and said, "In that case, I won’t disturb you for now. I still have other matters to attend to. When you’re free in the future, I’ll come to your residence again. At that time, I still hope to share dinner with My Lady and admire the sunrise of the second day together."

Having said that, he turned around and slipped away on the spot.

His subconscious told Honest Yuchi that this girl was not proper; better to stir her up as little as possible.

Time to bail, time to bail.

Inside the council hall.

Li Yixun was torn between laughter and tears. "This Zong Liangqing is actually kind of interesting."

Admire the sunrise of the second day together—if you want to sleep with me, just say it outright... Li Niantao was now hugging the blade and looking at Li Yixun expectantly. "Dad, what should I do with this blade?"

Li Yixun said, "You keep it. It’s a blade, at any rate, and it’s something someone gave you. Didn’t you always think everyone around you just flatters you? Well, here you go, finally someone who doesn’t flatter you. You wanted to take his flowers, and he turned around and handed you a blade instead."

Li Niantao nodded, feeling the heavy weight of the blade in her arms. She didn’t really care about such minor things; she was just purely curious as she asked, "So the flowers weren’t meant for me from the very start?"

"That should be the case."

Li Yixun thought for a moment and said, "At first, I also thought he was going to give that bouquet directly to you, that he wanted to come over and build a good relationship with you. But looking later, he had absolutely no intention of giving a gift. He just came over to deliver the news, plain and simple."

Li Niantao felt at ease. "So he never paid attention to me from the beginning."

"Of course. He’s not me, he’s not your father, why should he pay attention to you?" Li Yixun seized the opportunity to lecture. "Don’t let yourself be fooled by the men around you, and stop reading so many silly books. Reality is exactly like this. Zong Liangqing really doesn’t lack pretty women around him."

Li Niantao, however, gave her old man a strange look. "No, no, no, Dad, that’s not what I meant. I just like this feeling of being ignored. I only like it when he treats me like a bro."

Li Yixun: "???"

Yep, Li Niantao loved this feeling of being ignored. The things other men couldn’t bring themselves to do to her, Honest Yuchi could. It felt great. She hated being looked at purely as a "girl," as if she’d been born solely for the sake of the entire family. It was really annoying.

Then they heard Li Niantao say, "Dad, set something up for me. I wanna test him out, see how many layers of cultivation he’s got!"
