Your Father Already Sold You to Me

"Why is she unconscious?" Qian Xunji asked, eyeing the breathtakingly beautiful Tang Yuehua with a slight frown.

Tang Wei didn't blush or skip a beat as he replied, "She wasn't exactly willing, so I had to resort to this desperate measure—knocking her out to bring her to you."

Qian Xunji chuckled, "I must say, I didn't expect Sect Master Tang to face the same problems as I do."

"But then again, Tang Yuehua is nothing more than a waste; I never imagined she would dare to defy your wishes."

Tang Wei was furious at these words, as if he didn't know how to raise his own daughter. He had only resorted to this because he didn't want to ruin their father-daughter relationship.

However, before he could retort, Qian Xunji uttered words that made his blood run cold.

Qian Xunji looked at the unconscious Tang Yuehua and speculated, "Sect Master Tang, tell me, is it possible that you never even told Tang Yuehua about the deal between us?"

"You wanted me to play the villain entirely."

"Well, I may be a villain, but you aren't much better yourself."

"Shh, no need to argue. Once I wake Tang Yuehua up, I will naturally know everything I want to know."

Tang Wei felt the deep malice radiating from Qian Xunji, but at this point, he could only hope that Tang Yuehua would understand everything he had done.

Surely Tang Yuehua would understand; after all, she had lived off the Clear Sky Sect her entire life, yet she had never done anything for the sect in return.

This was the perfect opportunity for her to repay her debt.

In a family or a sect, human sentiment is not the priority; profit is.

As long as it brings benefits to the sect and family, sacrifice is inevitable.

Surely Tang Yuehua would understand him.

"Sect Master Tang, you were quite heavy-handed. I'm starting to wonder if she is even your biological daughter," Qian Xunji said, amused as he attempted to rouse Tang Yuehua from her slumber.

Tang Wei's expression grew increasingly ugly; every word from Qian Xunji was laced with mockery.

"What happened to me?" Tang Yuehua murmured as she drifted back to consciousness, her eyes filled with fear and resentment.

She remembered being knocked out, and now, she feared her innocence was likely lost.

I will make whoever took my innocence pay the price!

Tang Yuehua swore to herself, but the moment she saw Qian Xunji, she couldn't help but feel even more terrified.

"Qian Xunji, how could it be you!"

As the little princess of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Yuehua naturally recognized Qian Xunji.

"Tang Yuehua, you seem surprised to see me. It seems my guess was correct," Qian Xunji said, a smile still lingering on his face.

"Qian Xunji, put me down, you shameless scoundrel! My father will never let you get away with this!" Tang Yuehua struggled in Qian Xunji's arms.

Tang Wei felt ashamed, terrified that Qian Xunji might reveal the truth right in front of her.

Therefore, not giving Qian Xunji a chance to speak, he urged, "Qian Xunji, you can give me the Titan Giant Ape now."

"Of course." Qian Xunji set Tang Yuehua down and pushed her toward a female Platinum Bishop.

The woman understood instantly, taking hold of Tang Yuehua and restraining her.

"Father, why are you here too?!" Tang Yuehua's mind briefly went blank.

Tang Wei did not answer, staring intently at Qian Xunji; he knew Qian Xunji still had more to say.

Sure enough, Qian Xunji produced a book and a pen, handing them to Tang Wei. "Sect Master Tang, you might as well sign your name here while you're at it."

"Otherwise, if you renege on the deal and come looking for trouble with the Upper Three Sects and Lower Four Sects, I won't be able to explain myself."

Tang Wei's face twitched as he took the book and pen, thinking to himself that Qian Xunji's calculations were truly thorough—he wasn't leaving him a single opening.

His previous plans had completely fallen through.

Tang Wei took the book and examined it carefully to ensure Qian Xunji hadn't set any traps.

After confirming everything was in order, Tang Wei signed his name.

As for the terms of the trade, the Clear Sky Sect was exchanging Tang Yuehua for the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast discovered by Qian Xunji. Once the exchange was complete, the Clear Sky Sect would be forbidden from interfering, regardless of whether Tang Yuehua became a slave or a servant to Qian Xunji.

In other words, Tang Yuehua would henceforth be Qian Xunji's private property.

Even if Tang Yuehua were foolish, she could see by now that her father had sold her out.

"Father, Second Brother, what have you done behind my back?"

"You can't do this!"

Tang Yuehua looked pleadingly at Tang Wei and Tang Hao.

Tang Wei ignored her entirely.

As for Tang Hao, though he felt a pang of guilt, the moment he saw the Titan Giant Ape and thought about the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone he was about to obtain, his last shred of reluctance vanished.

Tang Wei began ordering the five elders to drag the Titan Giant Ape away from Martial Soul City.

Qian Xunji took Tang Yuehua from the hands of the female Platinum Bishop and pulled her toward the interior of Martial Soul City.

"Qian Xunji, let me go! Where exactly are you taking me?"

"Father, Second Brother, uncles, aunts, you cannot treat me like this."

"I am a member of the Clear Sky Sect, too."

"You cannot do this to me."

Tang Yuehua resisted Qian Xunji.

But with her strength, how could she possibly defy him?

She was dragged completely into Martial Soul City, the backs of Tang Wei, Tang Hao, and the others receding further and further away.

In this moment, Tang Yuehua felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss of darkness.

Her entire life was ruined.

After Tang Wei, Tang Hao, and the other five men brought the Titan Giant Ape twenty or thirty miles away, they came to a stop.

Tang Wei looked at Tang Hao and instructed, "Hao'er, to avoid any complications, you should absorb the spirit ring here."

"Yes, Father." Tang Hao summoned his Clear Sky Hammer and walked toward the Titan Giant Ape with burning eyes.

He was about to possess a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring; how could he not be excited?

"Die, my first hundred-thousand-year spirit ring!" Tang Hao shouted, immediately unleashing his seventh and eighth spirit abilities.

The Clear Sky Hammer instantly grew larger than the head of the Titan Giant Ape, smashing straight down toward its skull.

"Roar!" The Titan Giant Ape knew it could no longer play dead.

If it kept pretending, it would truly die.

Gravity Domain!

Sky-Propping Strike!

"Insignificant human, die!"

Facing the suddenly erupting Titan Giant Ape, Tang Hao was utterly disdainful. A creature with a severely wounded body and less than ten percent of its combat power dared to fight him to the death?

The light of the spirit abilities was dazzling.

Tang Hao spat out a mouthful of blood, flying in the opposite direction of the Titan Giant Ape at extreme speed.

Damn you, Qian Xunji, you set me up!

The Titan Giant Ape did not linger, turning and running immediately, attempting to escape with its life.

Someone in the sky revealed a smile.

The Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python were prepared for Tang San; Tang Hao could not take them.

Since Tang Hao lacked the ability to take down Ah Yin and make her his spirit ring, he had no one to blame but himself.

The timing of this intervention was perfect, successfully framing Martial Soul Hall and Qian Xunji.

Martial Soul City, Pope Palace.

Qian Xunji pulled Tang Yuehua into the Pope Palace, and the great doors slammed shut.

"Qian Xunji, what exactly do you want?"

Tang Yuehua glared at Qian Xunji in anger, finding him incredibly crude.

Qian Xunji narrowed his eyes and said, "Tang Yuehua, it seems you still haven't recognized your situation."

"Your father has already sold you to me."
