C497 You cheated everyone (1/2)

Under the night sky, within the Star Moon And Half Mountain Villa's garden.

After successfully repelling the Chihuang Sect, Xue Qingming's mood also relaxed infinitely. It was as if everything had started to develop in a calm and peaceful manner, and after the waves passed, there was a dead silence, only, what Xue Qingming did not know was that under the calm surface, there would be even greater waves.

Standing in his own courtyard, Xue Qingming squinted as he looked at the Sky City which was half a mountain high in the sky.

Suddenly, Xue Qingming's face revealed a trace of a smile. This smile contained gratification, jealousy, and an indescribable reluctance.

Suddenly, Xue Qingming opened his mouth and laughed: ”The girl has grown up, she has grown up!”

Evidently, the one that Xue Qingming was sighing about was her own granddaughter, Xue Ningshuang. Originally, Xue Qingming thought that after this ”calamity” had passed, Xue Ningshuang would come out of Ye Qian's Sky City and live with him.

But for the entire afternoon, Xue Qingming did not see Xue Ningshuang coming back. It was as if the little girl had become addicted to Ye Qian's residence.

Regarding this, Xue Qingming could only express helplessness.

Although Ye Qian's character, martial arts, and status were all extremely compatible with Xue Ningshuang, Xue Ningshuang had still grown up here. Now that she had grown up with her own granddaughter and the one she liked, Xue Qingming still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. Of course, most fathers who married their daughters would feel this way!

The Star Moon And Half Mountain Villa and the Star Moon And Half Mountain Villa were just a river's distance apart, but from Xue Qingming's point of view, it seemed as though the entire world had gathered.

”Forget it, forget it. Once the child has grown up, I can only let her take care of her!”

After laughing bitterly again for a while, Xue Qingming turned around and returned to his study alone.

Just as Xue Qingming was about to sit down and open the medicine book on his table, his phone suddenly rang.

Looking at the caller ID, Xue Qingming smiled, and pressed the call button: Hello, it's Long'er!

The voice on the other end of the phone was extremely respectful as it said, ”Father.”

”Why did you, a busy person, call me so late at night?”

The person on the other end of the line stuttered for a long time before saying, ”Father, I-I just haven't talked to you for a long time, so I called to ask about the situation at home! Is everything alright at home? ”

Xue Qingming laughed for a while, his eyes looking kind, but his mouth not being polite at all, ”Alright, alright, you brat, can you hide that kind of thinking from this old man? I'm your father. If you have something to say, just say it, don't hide it, it's not good at all! ”

The voice on the other end hissed, ”Yes, Father. I, I have recently heard that someone wants to harm you, it seems, seems like it's because of the Pill King Valley's past, I wonder if there is such a thing? ”

”You're quite good with the news, not bad, there is such a thing.” But now that the matter is over, and this old man is doing very well, you don't have to worry, brat! ”

”Oh!” The voice on the other end of the line acknowledged, then said, ”That's good, that's good!”

The tone on the other end of the phone changed, ”Father, where is Ning Shuang? Is she by your side? I want to have a word with her!”

Xue Qingming's expression immediately changed, and returned back to normal. ”You brat, you haven't returned home for a few years, but now you know to ask your daughter!”

”Father …” The voice on the other end of the line hesitated, wanting to explain something.

However, Xue Qingming immediately stopped him: ”Alright, alright, I know what you want to explain if you don't say it. It's just being busy, there's no time!”

”Father, I …”

”Alright, you have a career. Old man understands. But look at the time the next time you call. It's daylight on the other side of the ocean, but we're in the middle of the night. That girl Ning Shuang has already gone to sleep. You want to talk to your daughter?

The other end of the line choked with sobs and remained silent for a long time.

However, right at this moment, Xue Qingming's expression suddenly changed. He put down the phone, and gloomily berated: ”Who is it?”

Outside the window of Xue Qingming's study, a black shadow flashed. Immediately after, the figure broke through the window and entered the room. He was dressed entirely in black, and with one leap, both his hands struck out towards Xue Qingming.

Xue Qingming did not hesitate, he immediately stood up, with his left palm and right fist, he punched out towards the opponent.

With a loud bang, the astral wind trembled after the two exchanged blows, and Xue Qingming's mahogany desk collapsed from the impact.

The two had only made contact for a short moment, but the other had already started running.

Xue Qingming scoffed, ”Trying to run, there's no door...”

With that, Xue Qingming got up and gave chase. At this time, within Xue Qingming's study, amidst the wood shavings all over the sky, the middle-aged man's voice, which had yet to be cut off, could not help but roar out, ”Father, father …”
