The Dongting Lord's expression was solemn as he spoke sentence after sentence.
An elderly man stepped out from among the officials behind him and nodded in acceptance.
Verdant Green Maiden, however, frowned the entire time.
This...
Was he out of his mind?
"Is your father an idiot?"
Verdant Green Maiden tilted her head and asked Third Lady.
Third Lady pressed her lips together.
Verdant Green Maiden's gaze settled on the Dongting Lord, her expression curious. "How strange. Your daughter suffered every humiliation in Jing River, and someone kindly rescued her and brought her back. Not only are you ungrateful, you even want to send your daughter back? What kind of logic is that?"
"Immortal matters are beyond your understanding, even if I explained them to you."
The Dongting Lord spoke in a deep voice.
"..."
"Is he looking down on me?"
Verdant Green Maiden looked at Third Lady.
Third Lady hurriedly said to the Dongting Lord, "Father, mind your words! This is—"
"I don't care who she is!"
The Dongting Lord snapped again.
At that rebuke, Verdant Green Maiden's brows drew together.
Was he insane?
This Dongting Lord gave Verdant Green Maiden an utterly inexplicable feeling.
What he cared about was not his own family at all, but his relationship with that Jing River Young Master.
And Immortals?
Was he worthy?
"You..."
"What are you?"
Verdant Green Maiden asked.
The Dongting Lord froze at her question.
Verdant Green Maiden continued, "I..."
"Am the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, the Glazed Medicine Pure Light Bodhisattva, and the Heavenly Jade Maiden of Mount Tai of the East, Bi Xia Yuan Jun! I understand Immortal matters better than you do."
As she spoke, azure Jiao Dragon Horns emerged from Verdant Green Maiden's hair.
The Dragon Pearl shone with a glazed radiance.
