Chapter 2686: Chapter 1669: Sunflower Manual (2)

Shi Zhenhua declared firmly, not giving the other party a chance to decline, "Then our family will be awaiting Miss Lan’s esteemed visit."

It’s hard to refuse such hospitality.

Lan Peizhi glanced at the remarkably pale Shi Qianxi, and ultimately nodded in agreement.

"Dad! What are you doing!"

As soon as the extraordinary sisters left, Shi Qianxi immediately began to question.

"What do you mean what am I doing."

"Didn’t we agree to have dinner with Jiang Chen?"

"Did we? When did I agree?"

"You didn’t agree, right? Then I’ll go find mom! You said mom should accompany us, and when mom isn’t here, how will you answer them?"

Shi Zhenhua’s face turned sullen, "Threatening your dad, huh? You’re so sure that your mom will listen to you? Actually, I think if you tell her the same thing you said to me, she’s bound to slap you."

"She wouldn’t!"

Shi Qianxi remained fearless, "When Dad got in trouble and was unconscious, Mom made an agreement with him!"

"What kind of agreement?"

Shi Qianxi was at a loss for words.

She doesn’t know the exact details of the agreement, but she’s certain that her mom had reached some sort of deal with that guy. Otherwise, why has the mom who previously strongly objected now let her have freedom since Dad’s accident?

"You can ask Mom yourself."

Shi Zhenhua pressed his lips tightly.

His daughter brought up his accident, clearly on purpose.

Is Shi Zhenhua really an ungrateful person?

But.

As a father, he must maintain at least a minimum amount of dignity, right?

"I don’t need to ask your mom."

"Anyway, if you don’t agree, I’ll have him meet my mom; having one representative is enough."

No doubt, dealing with a daughter like this tests your physical endurance.

Shi Zhenhua seemingly laughed out of anger, "What’s this about? Are you abandoning your own father for a man?"

"You forced me. You kept saying before that you supported me, but now you’re going back on your word. Dad, what am I supposed to do?"

"Oh? So it’s all my fault? I support you, but I didn’t say you should go be... You have the capability, go and capture him then."

"I’m going to find my mom."

Shi Qianxi, determined, kept her words short, and turned around to leave.

Shi Zhenhua felt his forehead twitch, wanting to maintain fatherly authority, but seeing this troublesome girl truly about to leave, he could only compromise.

"Stop right there!"

"Did I say we won’t have this meal?"

Shi Qianxi turned her head, "Then why did you invite Miss Lan?"

"Does it conflict?"

Shi Qianxi frowned, "Dad, you have so much energy?"

Shi Zhenhua’s face was somber.

"My point is, since we’re already having a meal, why not just eat together."

Shi Qianxi paused.

Eat together?

"Dad, are you confused?"

She found it hard to understand; wasn’t her expression clear enough just now?

"Even if I’m not confused, I’ll be confused because of you."

"Isn’t this nonsense? Dad, do you really think this is appropriate?"

"Why not?"

Shi Zhenhua didn’t explain further, changed the subject, his gaze intense yet complicated.

"You and Jiang, are you really together?"

Shi Qianxi’s attention shifted, she quickly nodded, "Didn’t I say so just now."

Shi Zhenhua’s face showed melancholy.

As a father, at moments like these, he was bound to feel melancholic.

"What do you mean by being together?"

"Huh?"

Shi Qianxi wasn’t embarrassed; Shi Zhenhua, this old dad, was the one slightly embarrassed. Such matters should ideally be questioned by the mother’s role, but there was no choice; their failure to provide a complete family for their daughter meant someone had to ask.

"You guys..."

Shi Zhenhua hesitated.

Shi Qianxi caught on to the meaning from her dad’s hesitation, but still showed no embarrassment, nonchalantly saying, "Yeah, we’re together. Dad, I can’t turn back now."

Shi Zhenhua’s expression became even more dejected, then he deeply exhaled.

"Alright, it’s decided."

"Dad, do you really plan on arranging it this way? When did our family need to be so thrifty?"

"Come if you want."

Shi Zhenhua didn’t say more and left with a wave of his sleeve.

Shi Qianxi stood where she was, watching her father’s departing figure and was thoughtfully contemplative.

She understood her dad’s character too well.

Sly old fox.

Well.

To put it nicely.

He moves after careful consideration.

There’s no way Dad would act without purpose or on a whim.

He surely has "intentions" behind his actions.

He probably made up his mind when inviting Lan Peizhi.

But.

Why?

Lan Peizhi is closely connected with that significant figure in Kyoto, though the land acquisition issue may have caused some slight impact; it’s unrealistic to expect such trivial matters to disrupt their bond thoroughly.

So, Lan Peizhi’s identity is quite delicate.

And this time, he’s meeting with parents differently, essentially going as a "proposal"; having a prominent figure like Lan Peizhi present as a witness...

Thinking about that scene, Shi Qianxi felt awkward.

Though.

Imagining someone’s possible reaction at that moment, she suddenly wanted to laugh.

Talent.

Hehe.

Amazing!

With her wandering thoughts, Shi Qianxi’s mouth unconsciously turned upward, as her previous perplexed worries morphed into luminous excitement filled with wicked amusement.

Why think about all this?

If the sky falls, Qin Shi Huang has got it covered!

"Know them?"

Leading her junior sister leisurely through high society, Lan Peizhi knowingly asked.

"Know them."

Tanki Liuli nodded honestly.

"Are you close?"

Lan Peizhi continued asking.

Tanki Liuli fell silent, unsure how to define the word "close."

"She occasionally visits Spring and Autumn Plaza."

Finally, she replied this way.

Uh-oh.

Martial Saint turned out to be a façade, and she’s the real insider!

"Does she stay overnight?"

Tanki Liuli shook her head, then unexpectedly asked, "Why does Senior Sister care about this?"

Lan Peizhi was speechless, then gave a light smile.

Her junior sister is no longer a blank slate.

"It’s nothing, just casually asking."

Lan Peizhi then shifted the topic, "They argue, but why did they kick you out?"

"I left on my own."

The young Taoist nun indeed didn’t lie.

No, wait.

She almost never lies.

"Why? Did they argue fiercely?"

Tanki Liuli just shook her head.

She’s not causing a leak; like Li Shuru’s habit of moving around while sleeping, she hasn’t mentioned.

"Why were they arguing?"

"I don’t know."

"Do they often argue?"

Lan Peizhi had transformed into a gossip reporter.

"This is the first time."

"They have a good relationship then."

Lan Peizhi sighed, concluding, "You came to me, did you tell him?"

Tanki Liuli shook her head.

"He might be worried."

The word "worried" Lan Peizhi uttered signified depth.

"I informed him when leaving."

Tanki Liuli explained.

"What did you say?"

"I said I was going to help the Flood Dragon transcend."

Lan Peizhi’s steps halted; she turned her head.

"At first, he didn’t believe me, but I said Senior Sister often subdues demons too, so he believed."

Tanki Liuli was sincere.

Lan Peizhi finally couldn’t hold back, bursting into laughter, more dazzling than the opulent lighting of the venue.

"Sometimes, this guy has a problem up here."

Lan Peizhi raised her jade-like finger and pointed to her head.

Tanki Liuli’s reaction was even more interesting; she calmly nodded before saying, "Senior Sister, don’t tell him."

"What?"

"Otherwise, he’ll know I’m lying."

"..."

Lan Peizhi paused, then like ripples spreading, a pure, unadulterated smile gradually enveloped her face.

Her scarlet lips moved slightly, trying to say something, but ultimately, it was replaced by laughter.

"When you return, I’ll give you a Martial Arts Secret Manual to pass to him."

"Why doesn’t Senior Sister give it directly to him?"

"He trusts you but won’t trust me."

Tanki Liuli nodded, then curiously asked, "What manual will Senior Sister give him?"

Considering someone’s past with "woman-beating" tendencies.

If he gets too strong, what if she can’t handle him next time they argue?

"Sunflower Manual."
