Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy-Chapter 324 - 326: How the Lolita was Trained
Wu Dao was dead. Was there any need to continue the Sword Competition?
The crowd was uneasy, and when they looked at Wu Tian, their eyes were filled with awe and fear.
Damn it, they were all dead.
Of course, Wu Tian hadn't forgotten his true purpose for coming to Mount Yunmeng. After searching, however, he couldn't find any trace of Wu Fa, nor was the scabbard there.
As for Wu Wo? He had coldly abandoned his own father and fled for his life. A person like that truly deserved to die, yet he was also a talent in his own way. Wu Tian suspected Wu Wo might be the mole, but he couldn't be certain.
Gan Jiang and Mo Ye had also descended the mountain, apparently to find Wu Wo and ask him some questions.
Wu Tian found nothing of note on Mount Yunmeng, save for one room he had never entered. When he knocked on its door, it swung open on its own. The room was filled with a swirling mist and was furnished with a vast, uncountable number of books. Wu Tian scanned the titles: *Psychology Master*, *Psychological Defense War*, *How to Win Someone's Heart*…
Meanwhile, a large wooden barrel was faintly visible in the mist. Inside was a snow-white, alluring woman.
SPLASH, SPLASH!
The girl's jade-like arm playfully stirred the flower petals in the water. She had a baby face that made one want to cherish her.
Wu Tian's expression remained calm, but the little one in his arms widened her eyes. She glanced at Wu Tian, then at the woman in the barrel.
Should I tell Mom what I saw today?
The little one remembered what Qin Yuhan had told her the night before they left: "Baby, if your dad gets close to any women, you have to tell me."
Watching a man watch a woman bathe… even if he didn't see the important parts… that still counts as being close, right? I should definitely tell Mom.
"...Aren't you afraid?" Wu Tian asked indifferently.
The girl in the barrel couldn't help but smile. Her voice was as sweet and childlike as her baby face. "Because I know my big brother won't do anything to me, right?"
Wu Tian nodded. It seemed this woman was his half-sister. She was the type of person you liked at first glance.
The girl, only seventeen and not yet an adult, giggled before her expression turned earnest. "Brother, thank you."
Wu Tian nodded. He already knew from Wu Fa that his sister was unhappy. She constantly confined herself to her room, reading psychology books in an attempt to measure up to Wu Wo. Now that Wu Wo had fled, the lineage of Wu Dao was all but finished. From now on, the burden on Yue would no longer be so heavy.
"Do you know where Wu Fa is? Was he taken away by Wu Dao and his son?" Wu Tian voiced the doubt in his mind.
The girl in the barrel shook her head and gave a cute smile. "Brother, if you're sure the people who took them were from Ghost Valley, and if it wasn't Wu Dao's men, then it must have been those from the Vertical Sect."
Wu Tian nodded. He knew a little about the rivalry between the Vertical and Horizontal schools. Throughout history, the masters of Ghost Valley had only ever accepted two disciples at a time: one for the Vertical school and one for the Horizontal. The winner of the contest between them would become the next Ghost Valley Master.
Su Qin vertically aligned the six states, held the seals of all six premierships, and forced the State of Qin to abandon its plans to proclaim an empire. Zhang Yi's grand strategy dismantled the alliance of the six states, aiding the State of Qin in dominating the chaotic era. Pang Juan, with his unparalleled courage, was invincible, allowing the originally weak Wei Kingdom to dominate the Central Plains. Sun Bin, an unmatched strategist, saved the state of Zhao by besieging Wei, plotted Pang Juan's demise, and left behind a legendary military treatise for posterity.
The Horizontal Sword attacks with strategy to seek advantage; this is "opening." The Vertical Sword attacks with momentum to consolidate reality; this is "closing." Opening and closing are the Way of Heaven and Earth.
Considering this, it wasn't the Horizontal Sect that took Wu Fa away, but the Vertical Sect?
"Where is the Vertical Sect?" Wu Tian asked.
"Back then, the Vertical and Horizontal schools played a game with the world as their board. Our Horizontal Sect won and took over Dragon Country. The Vertical Sect fled to a remote island," Yue's delicate voice replied. She fell silent for a moment before adding, "The Vertical Sect's factions have vanished from that island, which has now fallen into the hands of the People's Party. Where the Vertical Sect is now is unknown."
"Brother, Mom and Dad are very important to me. C-can you help me find them?" Her large eyes, as bright as the little one's, resembled pearls. If she were to look at anyone else with such a gaze, they would surely be unable to refuse the request of such an adorable girl.
Of course, her beauty meant nothing to Wu Tian.
"Don't worry," Wu Tian said, though for his own reasons. "I will bring them back. Because... no one takes my people from me."
The girl's lovely eyes sparkled in the barrel, and she gave him a beautiful smile. "Thank you, Brother."
"..." Wu Tian remained composed.
She suddenly became shy. "Brother, shouldn't you step outside for a bit so I can change? Or... do you plan on watching?"
Wu Tian sighed and turned around, holding the little one. Once Yue had changed, she bounced over to his side. Despite being seventeen, she still acted like a little girl. She approached him on her bare, snow-white feet, but her focus was on the little one in his arms. She reached out her hands. "Hey, can your little aunt give you a hug?"
"One hug isn't enough. Sleep with me," the little one replied sweetly. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Yue picked up the little one. She began to playfully tease her, and the two of them looked like a pair of children playing together.
Wu Tian quietly watched the intimate scene unfold.
"What about the scabbard? Did you know that Wu Fa and the others obtained a scabbard with a strange ability?" Wu Tian asked the question that concerned him most.
"No, absolutely not. Mom and Dad aren't on Mount Yunmeng. Uncle Wu Dao treated me quite well," Yue said with a smile. "If he had obtained something like that, I would definitely know."
Wu Tian nodded.
「In Yang City.」
It was a peaceful night.
At Boundless Corporation, all employees had voluntarily decided to stay and work overtime. Better performance meant a bigger share of the profits, and many employees used the time they would have spent playing games to work instead.
"Qin Corporation being renamed Boundless Corporation is our big chance!"
"Yeah! A company like this is where you really reap what you sow. Come on, everyone, let's work hard! Buying a house in Yang City isn't just a dream anymore!"
All the employees were thrilled.
"No. A daydream is still just a daydream." A sudden voice cut through the air, leaving everyone in the corporation stunned.
"Your boss offended the Sword Emperor, so he is a dead man. I don't need to kill him. The day the Sword Emperor comes south, I will die, and so will all of you. You must die... unless you do as I have. Betray Wu Tian and pledge your allegiance to the Sword Emperor."
In Yang City, sects like the Giant Whale Gang and the Iron Palm Gang had outwardly shown great respect for Wu Tian, even presenting him with gifts. But the moment they learned he was out of town, they made their move. They decided to work for the Sword Emperor, lest they die alongside Wu Tian when he eventually arrived.
