Chen Yangqi knew full well how valuable Yang Chen was to the Profound Dao Sect. He had always felt that Yang Chen leaving the Profound Dao Sect for the Southern Realm had been a loss to the sect.
Now that Yang Chen had actually returned, how could he not be delighted? He happily said, "Yang Chen, when did you return?"
Yang Chen stood with his hands behind his back and smiled. "I returned from the Southern Realm not long ago and hurried back to the sect. Has the Sect Master been well lately?"
"Hahaha, good, good, good! How could I not be?" Chen Yangqi laughed heartily. His mood had been ordinary before, but the moment he saw Yang Chen, it immediately brightened.
Dao Venerable Yuan Ming was tactful enough to know that Yang Chen and Chen Yangqi had reunited. How could he dare remain there? He immediately instructed Liu Feiying and the others to leave.
After they had departed, Liu Linfeng finally wiped away his cold sweat. "Th-this is far too unlucky. How did we run into Supreme Yang? Why did he suddenly return?"
Dao Venerable Yuan Ming shook his head. "Liu Linfeng, your daughter truly should never have offended Supreme Yang. If she had merely failed to recognize Mount Tai before her eyes and offended him, perhaps Supreme Yang would have been magnanimous enough not to hold it against her. But she should not have gone so far."
Liu Linfeng's body trembled. "Brother Yuan Ming, my daughter only acted without thinking. It can't be that serious..."
He had already sensed that something was wrong. Dao Venerable Yuan Ming usually called Liu Feiying Ying'er, yet now he was directly calling her his daughter. The meaning was entirely different. It was clear that he intended to sever ties with Liu Feiying.
