Chapter 1881: Chapter 1901: She Loves You Deeply_1

"Father!"

When the battle ended, Yao Xuanji finally emerged from the Black Cloud Ship, rushing excitedly towards Yao Xiong.

Yao Xiong turned around, his eyes filled with joy as he spread his arms and caught Yao Xuanji in a tight embrace.

"My dear daughter, you’re finally back!"

Yao Xiong’s love for Yao Xuanji was self-evident. The hardened, domineering man had tears welling up in his eyes.

Yao Xuanji responded in a muffled voice, "It was Lin Chen who saved me. Without his help, I would not have hoped to ever return."

Yao Xiong stepped back, his hands resting on Yao Xuanji’s shoulders as he studied her face thoroughly.

"Your appearance hasn’t changed, but you’ve matured a lot!"

Using her hand, Yao Xuanji wiped away a tear that hinted at the corner of her eye and smiled sweetly, "Yes, I’ve grown up."

Disengaging from Yao Xiong, she said with a gentle laugh, "Let’s deal with the matters at hand first. We’ll have a detailed talk later."

"Okay!"

Yao Xiong looked around and asked, "Where’s the tower?"

Yao Xuanji naturally recognized that it was the Ghost Tower. She said in a low voice, "Don’t worry about that for now, I know her whereabouts."

Yao Xiong stared at his daughter in slight surprise before nodding in agreement, "Alright, let’s deal with the matters first. We almost suffered a major setback this time."

At this moment, the severely injured Cao Hechuan came over to pay his respects to Yao Xiong. After exchanging simple greetings, he led Yao Xiong away to handle the ongoing matters. After all, Yao Xiong had just returned and was unaware of many things.

All members of the Heavenly Dao Alliance had their strength sealed and were imprisoned in the Black Cloud Ship. Yao Xiong commanded immediate interrogation as many had managed to escape and must be tracked down and eradicated to ensure safety.

"Let’s go back to the ship."

Coming to Lin Chen, Yao Xuanji uttered those words before shyly asking, "Sister Ziyun, are your injuries alright?"

Purple Cloud Immortal Lord smiled, "I just need some rest."

"Then let’s go back to the ship to rest. We really owe you a lot today, Sister. Without you holding off Xuanyuan Feiying, the Immortal Palace would have been completely defeated before my father could return."

Purple Cloud Immortal Lord lightly laughed, "I just simply bought some time. In the grand scheme of things, it wouldn’t have made much of a difference whether I was there or not."

The three of them headed back to the flying ship. Lin Chen hesitated before speaking, "Xuanji..."

Yao Xuanji turned her head, "What is it?"

Lin Chen bitterly explained, "Among the people we captured, there is... White-clothed Blood Envoy, Four Seas Immortal Monarch..."

Yao Xuanji immediately understood Lin Chen’s implied meaning, "You want to release her?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Although we initially helped each other out, she fulfilled her promise and didn’t move against me. Otherwise, I might not have been able to escape..."

"Okay!"

Yao Xuanji interrupted Lin Chen decisively, "I’ll talk to my father. We can let her go. You said it yourself; she was a disinterested Blood Envoy from the start. Even after the destruction of the Southern Alliance, she seemed not to care. This kind of person will not pose a threat to the Immortal Palace even if let go."

Lin Chen let out a sigh of relief, "Thank you!"

Yao Xuanji faked a pout, "We’re betraying common courtesy here. If it wasn’t for you today, the Immortal Palace would have been long defeated."

Lin Chen gave a bitter smile, "How could I know that the Domain Lord would return? Had I known, we could have tried to stall. We wouldn’t have suffered so many casualties."

Yao Xuanji remained tranquil, "The Heavenly Dao Alliance also lost many. War always results in casualties. Regardless, those who fought for the Immortal Palace will never be forgotten."

"If we hadn’t intervened, Grandpa Cao would have certainly suffered a humiliating defeat causing a loss of face for the Immortal Palace. There’s no guarantee he wouldn’t have taken advantage of the situation to strike. In that case, we might have been the ones on the receiving end."

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, but with the Domain Lord back now, you can take it a bit easy."

Yao Xuanji chuckled, "Yes, with my father here, I don’t need to worry about the affairs. I finally feel relieved!"

When the three of them arrived on the ship, Yao Xuanji personally arranged a room for Purple Cloud Immortal Lord. She hesitated before asking, "Would you two... like the same room?"

Purple Cloud Immortal Lord smiled, "No need. As long as they are adjacent rooms."

Yao Xuanji seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. She always found it difficult to be herself around the Purple Cloud Immortal Lord, even though she herself came from a noble background. It was as though she was a little girl in front of a mature elder sister.

Not because the other was more powerful; while Yao Xuanji may lack in strength, she could command numerous fairies. She just wasn’t quite comfortable yet.

After all, they both liked the same man and Purple Cloud Immortal Lord was there before her, right?

Once inside the room, Yao Xuanji turned to Lin Chen, "It has been a long time since you and Sister Ziyun saw each other, so why don’t you spend some time talking? Oh, and, could you please check Sister Ziyun’s injuries and prescribe some medication? Let me know if anything is needed."

Lin Chen looked slightly embarrassed, but agreed readily, "Alright!"

After Yao Xuanji left, only the two of them remained in the room.

Purple Cloud Immortal Lord smiled enigmatically, "Her love for you seems quite deep. To think that as the daughter of the Domain Lord, she bears no temper. She lets others walk all over her and even sacrifices her loved one to another woman willingly..."

Lin Chen touched his nose and gave a wry smile, "She’s actually very kind-hearted and isn’t suitable to become a Domain Lord at all. She was just thrust into it... Let me check your injuries."
