Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 387 Xiao Yan: My father-in-law is here to question me

Staring at the handsome scholar beside him with his mouth wide open, Xiao Yan twisted his arm so hard that his jaw seemed to drop to the ground.

This is Ruoruo's father? !

Although the cultivation world has never used appearance as a reference standard, but no matter what, isn't this really too young?

Perhaps because of his preconceived notions, Xiao Yan never thought that the other party was a student's parent.

After all, even if a monk's appearance is enough to be frozen almost permanently in his life, in order to maintain it at a certain moment, he needs to have a mentality that matches it.

It was like Hai Bodong at the beginning. Because of the seal and the long time he wasted, when he first saw Xiao Yan, he had already turned into an octogenarian, dying, with half of his body almost buried in the ground.

This change in state of mind cannot be concealed by fighting spirit in any way, not even Yao Lao can do it!
Therefore, Ruoruo's father is probably just like his appearance, with great talent and ambition, just like the youngest monk, full of curiosity and ambition!

A great leader.

This was the only evaluation of him in Xiao Yan's heart.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan thought of the conversation between the two of them before, and suddenly felt an indescribable embarrassment.

After chatting for so long, it turned out that Ruoruo's father was testing me.
Then the so-called 'treasure' he mentioned, couldn't it be Ruoruo herself? !

His expression changed slightly, and Xiao Yan felt as if an electric current instantly passed through his body. He shuddered and stood up straight.

"Haha, so you are Ruoruo's father. I hope you can forgive me if I was rude to you before." Xiao Yan cleared his throat and said with a stiff upper lip.

In response, the Confucian scholar just smiled and nodded without saying much.

But little did he know that this action would completely stimulate Hun Ruoruo who was standing there in a daze.

An unprecedented chill surged into the girl's heart, causing her to shiver as if she had fallen into an icy cave. Finally, she couldn't help but speak out again:
"What on earth did you do to him?"

"Meeting is fate. How can I, as a father, not be curious about my daughter traveling thousands of miles to the Northwest Territory and staying at Canaan Academy?"

The scholar paused, then sighed slightly, "Well, although he is still a little immature, this friend Xiao Yan does have great potential. If it does not affect your cultivation..."

"enough!"

Hun Ruoruo could no longer bear it and immediately interrupted him, shouting hurriedly to the young man in the distance:

"Xiao Yan, come here!"

"Ah? But this."

"I asked you to come over!"

Seeing that the girl was obviously in a bad condition, Xiao Yan glanced at the man beside him in confusion, then quickly ran to her side.

"Ruoruo, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Yan looked at the girl in front of him who was breathing rapidly and asked with concern.

Hearing this, Hun Ruoruo couldn't help but stop the angry curse that was about to come out of her mouth, and she finally pursed her pale lips tightly.

Yes.

He actually knows nothing, how can I blame him?
In Canaan Academy, he should be free and unfettered, without having to live the life of constant vigilance against others that he had to endure in the outside world. Whether he relaxed or acted recklessly, there was nothing wrong with that; this was the mindset of a young man.
The one who really harmed him was the self who disrupted his growth for his own selfish desires.

"Do not talk."

Hun Ruoruo grabbed his hand, then subconsciously changed her position, interlocking her fingers and grasping the broad palm.

She clenched her fists very tightly, as if she had used up all her strength.

Before he could react, Xiao Yan felt a chill in his palms and his pupils shrank into needle points in an instant.

Compared to the past, the girl's hands, which were already a little cold, were even more unusually cold at this moment, as if they were ice that had just solidified when the snow melted, exuding a biting chill and dampness.

Her palms were actually covered in sweat. With Ruoruo's abilities, even when she faced the guardian Wu, she had never shown such panic. Why would she react so strongly now that she had met her own father?

Before Xiao Yan could think about it, Hun Ruoruo, who was standing beside him, had already protected him behind her and asked calmly:

"What on earth are you doing here?"

Hearing this, the scholar's eyes narrowed slightly, but he was not too surprised by the girl's undisguised hostility.

He glanced at the two people's clasped hands without leaving any trace, and then smiled and said:

"When Ruoruo wanted to go out for training, your father readily agreed. He even prepared all the training resources for you. Now that four years have passed, I finally have to come and take a look."

"As a father, I'm naturally worried about you, as you're out there on your own. If it weren't for some things that made it difficult for me to get away, this time might have been even sooner."

"You, you followed me?!"

Hun Ruoruo's expression turned extremely ugly, and her body became a little staggering, and she could hardly stand firmly.

For a moment, an unprecedented sense of absurdity and powerlessness surged into my heart.

All her calculations and efforts were ultimately just to escape the Soul Realm and have nothing to do with this man anymore. But now, he just told her lightly: "You have never left my sight."

How ridiculous! How pathetic!
The girl's eyes gradually became empty, and the awakened emotions were like a cocoon made of spider silk, entangled and sealed.

In the end, it was this 'heretic' who harmed everyone. She shouldn't have appeared in this story in the first place.

If it weren't for his willful behavior, Xiao Yan would not have been targeted by the other party so early, putting his life in danger.

If he hadn't been so attached to his feelings and hadn't escaped by hiding in Canaan College and building that false 'home', perhaps he wouldn't have implicated anyone and would have endured it alone as always.

If you don't have yourself
"senior."

Suddenly, feeling a gentle force coming from her palm, Hun Ruoruo raised her head, and a trace of surprise flashed across her dead eyes.
"Xiao Yan, you——"

Before she could speak to stop him, the young man slowly took a step forward and said seriously:

"I don't know the full story, so I don't dare to comment on your family affairs without permission. However, since your child is grown up, as a parent, I should respect their privacy."

"My father has always said this since I was a child. Now that I see the relationship between you two, I can't help but express it. I hope you will forgive me."

As he spoke, Xiao Yan had already blocked half of the girl's body behind him, taking away most of the pressure from her.

Hearing the young man's neither humble nor arrogant words, there was a sudden ripple in the calm eyes of Emperor Hun Tian. It seemed that he did not expect that the other party would dare to stand up under such pressure, and even his conversation was impeccable.

It's quite interesting.
Thinking of this, Emperor Hun Tian's mind moved slightly, and he suddenly changed his previous sharp demeanor and became a little kinder instead.

"Well, we can't jump to conclusions without seeing the whole situation. Your calmness is beyond my expectations."

Emperor Hun Tian shook his head and laughed, "You're right. As a parent, how can we possibly monitor our children's every move at all times?"

"I never asked Ruoruo where she wanted to go, nor did I monitor her. The reason I was able to find her location was ultimately because of the girl herself."

Xiao Yan was stunned, somewhat confused, "Ruoruo herself?"

"good."

The eyes of Emperor Hun Tian were filled with stars and the sea, his eyes flickered, but in the end, it turned into a light sigh.
"These are not things I should say. Since she hasn't chosen to tell you about this, let's talk about it later."

"Compared to those, what interests me more now is the father you mentioned. Could you introduce him to me?"

After saying that, the scholar's eyes swept over the two people's interlocked hands again, and looked at Xiao Yan with a smile.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was stunned at first, then he realized something belatedly. He suddenly felt a chill rushing to his forehead, and even his mouth began to tremble.

It's over. Ruoruo's father is probably going to go find my dad to ask for an explanation, right?
