Your Father Has Already Sold You to Me

"How did she pass out?" Qian Xunji asked, examining Tang Yuehua's peerlessly beautiful face with a slight frown.

Tang Wei answered without batting an eye, "She wasn't very willing, so I had no choice but to resort to this and knock her out before bringing her to you."

Qian Xunji chuckled. "I didn't expect Sect Master Tang to be facing the same problem as me."

"But now that I think about it, I didn't expect Tang Yuehua, a useless person, to dare defy you."

Tang Wei was furious at that. It made him sound as if he didn't know how to raise his daughter. He'd only resorted to this because he didn't want to ruin their relationship.

But before he could retort, Qian Xunji said something that chilled him to the bone.

Looking at the unconscious Tang Yuehua, Qian Xunji speculated, "Sect Master Tang, is it possible you never told Tang Yuehua about our deal?"

"You wanted me to be the only villain."

"Well, I may be a villain, but you're no better."

"Shh, there's no need to make excuses. Once I wake Tang Yuehua, I'll learn everything I want to know."

Tang Wei could feel the deep malice in Qian Xunji's words, but now all he could do was hope Tang Yuehua would understand why he'd done this.

Surely Tang Yuehua would understand. After all, the Clear Sky Sect had provided for her all these years, yet she'd never done anything for the sect.

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

In a family, in a sect, human warmth and coldness didn't come first. Interests did.

As long as someone could bring benefits to the sect and the family, sacrifices were inevitable.

Surely Tang Yuehua would understand.

"Sect Master Tang, you really did hit her hard. I'm starting to wonder if she's even your biological daughter." Qian Xunji grinned as he tried to wake Tang Yuehua.

Tang Wei's expression darkened further. Every word Qian Xunji said was laced with mockery.

"What happened to me?" Tang Yuehua slowly came to, fear and resentment in her eyes.

She remembered being knocked unconscious. Had she lost her innocence in the meantime?

I'll make whoever took my innocence pay!

Tang Yuehua swore silently, until she saw Qian Xunji and grew even more terrified.

"Qian Xunji, why are you here?!"

As the Clear Sky Sect's little princess, Tang Yuehua naturally knew who Qian Xunji was.

"Tang Yuehua, you seem surprised to see me. Looks like my guess was right." Qian Xunji still wore a smile.

"Qian Xunji, let go of me! You shameless lecher! My father will never let you get away with this!" Tang Yuehua struggled in Qian Xunji's arms.

Tang Wei was mortified. Right now, he was especially afraid Qian Xunji would say it all in front of him.

So he didn't give Qian Xunji a chance to speak and urged him, "Qian Xunji, you can hand over the Titan Giant Ape now, right?"

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

The woman understood at once. She took Tang Yuehua and restrained her.

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

Tang Wei didn't answer. He only kept looking at Qian Xunji, knowing he still had more to say.

Sure enough, Qian Xunji took out a booklet and a pen and handed them to Tang Wei. "Sect Master Tang, while you're at it, sign your name here."

"If you go back on the deal later and bring people from the Upper Three Sects and the Lower Four Sects to cause trouble, I won't be able to explain myself."

Tang Wei's face twitched as he took the booklet and pen. Qian Xunji had thought of everything and left him no opening at all.

His earlier plans had fallen through completely.

Tang Wei took the booklet and read it carefully, making sure Qian Xunji hadn't set a trap for him.

After confirming it was fine, he signed his name.

As for the terms of the deal, the Clear Sky Sect would trade Tang Yuehua for the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Qian Xunji had discovered. Once the exchange was complete, the Clear Sky Sect was not to interfere with Tang Yuehua, whether Qian Xunji made her his servant or maid.

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

Even Tang Yuehua could see now that her father had sold her.

"Father, Second Brother, what did you do behind my back?"

"You can't do this!"

Tang Yuehua looked pleadingly at Tang Wei and Tang Hao.

Tang Wei simply ignored her.

As for Tang Hao, although he felt a little reluctant, one look at the Titan Giant Ape and the thought of soon obtaining its Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone made that last trace of reluctance vanish.

Tang Wei ordered the five elders to drag the Titan Giant Ape out of Spirit City.

Qian Xunji took Tang Yuehua from the female Platinum Bishop and led her toward the city.

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

"Father, Second Brother, all of you uncles and aunts, you can't treat me like this!"

"I'm a member of the Clear Sky Sect too!"

"You can't do this to me!"

Tang Yuehua resisted Qian Xunji.

But with her strength, how could she defy him?

Qian Xunji dragged her all the way into Spirit City, while Tang Wei, Tang Hao, and the others grew smaller and smaller in the distance.

At that moment, Tang Yuehua felt as if she'd fallen into a lightless abyss.

Her whole life was over.

Tang Wei, Tang Hao, and the other five traveled twenty or thirty li with the Titan Giant Ape before stopping.

Tang Wei looked at Tang Hao and instructed him, "Hao'er, to avoid complications, absorb the Soul Ring here first."

"Yes, Father." Tang Hao summoned the Clear Sky Hammer, his eyes blazing as he approached the Titan Giant Ape.

He was about to possess a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. How could he not be excited?

"Die, my first Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!" Tang Hao roared, unleashing his Seventh Soul Skill and Eighth Soul Skill.

The Clear Sky Hammer instantly grew larger than the Titan Giant Ape's head and came crashing straight down toward it.

"Roar!" The Titan Giant Ape knew it couldn't keep playing dead.

If it did, it would really die.

Gravity Domain!

Sky-Propping Strike!

You puny human, die!

Facing the Titan Giant Ape, which had suddenly burst into action, Tang Hao was utterly disdainful. It was severely injured and had less than a tenth of its strength. How could it possibly fight him to the death?

The light of the Soul Skills blazed brilliantly.

Tang Hao spat out a mouthful of blood and flew away at tremendous speed, in the opposite direction from the Titan Giant Ape.

Damn Qian Xunji, you set me up!

The Titan Giant Ape didn't stay to fight. It turned and ran at once, trying to escape with its life.

Someone in the sky smiled.

The Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python had been prepared for Tang San. Tang Hao couldn't take them.

Since Tang Hao wasn't capable of taking Ah Yin and making her his Soul Ring, he couldn't blame anyone else.

Now was the perfect moment to strike. The blame for his true goal had fallen squarely on Spirit Hall and Qian Xunji.

Spirit City, Pope Palace.

Qian Xunji led Tang Yuehua into the Pope Palace, and the doors closed behind them.

"Qian Xunji, what are you trying to do?"

Tang Yuehua glared at Qian Xunji, thinking he was terribly rough.

Qian Xunji narrowed his eyes. "Tang Yuehua, it seems you still don't understand your situation."

"Your father has already sold you to me."
