Chapter 187: Chapter 140 Turnaround
Peak Master Zhao’s mood was complex; he had always believed he did nothing wrong, for defending the cultivators of his peak was his duty as the Peak Master.
Yet, upon hearing Elder Baili refer to Li Shiming as “son-in-law” and seeing Yin Shilan’s bashful reaction, he seemed to understand.
He turned his head to look at Yu Sect Leader and, on his squarely-set face, he spotted a hint of slyness and cunning.
Yu Sect Leader obviously knew about the relationship between Li Shiming and Yin Shilan yet hadn’t informed him, seemingly waiting for him to fall into this pit.
“Xiao Zhao, I am very dissatisfied with you. You will handle this matter again. If even the act of betraying the Sect can be forgiven, then what has the Sky Sea Sect become?” Elder Yin looked at Peak Master Zhao and instructed calmly.
“Yes, I dealt with this matter incorrectly and will certainly rectify it!” Peak Master Zhao promised repeatedly, without any objection.
“That will be all, Junior Quan, Junior Sister Sheng, let’s get together properly tomorrow!” Elder Yin didn’t say anything else and saw the guests out.
The two Golden Core cultivators and various high-ranking Foundation Establishment cultivators understood that Elder Yin wanted to speak with his daughter, so they left with smiles.
Only Elder Yin and Yin Shilan remained in front of the cave residence. Yin Shilan also wanted to leave, but catching her father’s gaze, she knew she couldn’t escape today.
“Lan’er, what Old Monster Baili said is true, isn’t it? It’s natural for someone your age to have a sweetheart. I only wish to see for myself what sort of character this young man has, whether he’s worthy of my precious daughter!” Elder Yin said gently.
Yin Shilan felt something was off listening to this; it was different from when her mother tricked her about Li Shiming—different words, but the tone was strikingly similar.
