Chapter 292: Dad, He Is My Husband!

In the original work, Murong Qiudi had the image of a ‘filial daughter.’ Judging by her current behavior, Murong Qiudi should be similar to how she was in the original.

“Dad, don’t speak yet, let me check for you… You have internal injuries, and it’s caused by extreme anger. Xiao Mu, what exactly happened?” Murong Qiudi asked the young attendant, Xiao Mu, who was standing by while diagnosing Mu Rong Zheng.

“Young Miss, Xiao Mu doesn’t know what happened either. It’s just that many people came looking to cause trouble for the Murong Family. Master became enraged and fought with them, ultimately getting injured.

The people of the Murong Family have either left or scattered now; only Master and I are left in the manor. Young Miss, where have you been all this time? We couldn’t find you no matter how hard we looked, sob…” Xiao Mu couldn’t help but cry, sounding very wronged, as if she had suffered greatly.

Seeing that Xiao Mu didn’t know what had happened, Murong Qiudi took out a Xiao Huan Dan, intending to give it to Mu Rong Zheng, but she still looked toward Yu Xian, as the Xiao Huan Dan was given to her by Yu Xian, and she wasn’t sure if Yu Xian would agree to let her father use it.

“Given his condition, use a Great Returning Pill,” Yu Xian said, then handed Murong Qiudi a Great Returning Pill.

Murong Qiudi gratefully accepted the Great Returning Pill and administered it to Mu Rong Zheng.

She also had Great Returning Pills on her, which Yu Xian had also given her. In reality, she could have used one of her own, but Yu Xian gave her another one.

She knew Yu Xian possessed many Divine Pills and miraculous medicines, and Yu Xian was never stingy in giving them to them. However, she was very clear about how precious those Medicinal Pills were, yet Yu Xian gave one to her father without hesitation…

“Husband…” Murong Qiudi was filled with gratitude toward Yu Xian, and she also inquired if Yu Xian would agree to investigate the matters of the Murong Family first.

“Saving people is the priority. As for the Murong Family’s affairs, we can ask Elder Xiao later, or wait until your father recovers,” Yu Xian understood what Murong Qiudi meant.

“Thank you, Husband.”

“Qiu… Qiudi.”

At this moment, Mu Rong Zheng had recovered some strength and spirit. Seeing his daughter safe and sound brought him joy, but thinking of the current state of the Murong Family immediately brought sorrow to his heart.

“Dad, how are you? Are you feeling better?” Murong Qiudi asked with concern. The Great Returning Pill took effect very quickly, and Murong Qiudi’s heart finally settled down.

“Much better. Qiudi, where did you go? Why haven’t we heard from you?” Mu Rong Zheng asked Murong Qiudi.

Hearing this, Yu Xian knew that Xie Xiaodi must have gone directly to find Xie Xiaofeng back then instead of telling Mu Rong Zheng about taking Murong Qiudi away.

“I… Dad, what exactly happened to the Murong Family? How did it become like this?” Murong Qiudi didn’t know how to explain her relationship with Yu Xian, so she could only change the subject.

When this was brought up, Mu Rong Zheng became angry and exclaimed, “It’s all because of that Beyond the Heavens! The Gusu Murong Family was destroyed by Beyond the Heavens. Many people in the Jianghu wanted to curry favor with Beyond the Heavens, but they had no way to approach them. When they found out we had a connection with the Gusu Murong Family, they started attacking us, trying to gain favor in the eyes of Beyond the Heavens!

It would be one or two people, but those people came continuously. I fought them off wave after wave, but… the people in the manor, knowing we had offended Beyond the Heavens, got scared, secretly took the family’s wealth, and ran away. Now, only Xiao Mu is left in the manor.”

Yu Xian, listening from behind, couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Ah, this, he didn’t know!

He had intentionally spared the Murong Family of Qixing Pond back then; hadn’t he refrained from taking action?

When he returned to Manduo Manor to inquire about the situation, he had indeed overlooked Qixing Pond.

Murong Qiudi also glanced back at Yu Xian and sighed.

She couldn’t blame Yu Xian for this matter. After all, it was she who ordered the people of the Heavenly Venerate to destroy Mount Hua. In the Small World, she knew that Ning Zhongze was from Mount Hua. The fact that Yu Xian didn’t wipe out her entire family was already a lenient handling; he only pursued the person who gave the order.

“Dad, it was the Old Ancestor who acted against Beyond the Heavens back then, destroying one of their factions. And… it was me who gave the order…” Murong Qiudi said.

“Alas… Our Murong Family of Qixing Pond is also finished,” Mu Rong Zheng sighed heavily.

They were considered implicated, but not entirely; in any case, the Murong Family was ruined.

Back then, the Old Ancestor looked down on this branch of the family because Qiudi was the only daughter. Who would have thought that now, Qiudi is the only hope for the Murong Family to be revitalized?

“Qiudi, who is he?” Mu Rong Zheng finally noticed Yu Xian and inquired.

“Dad, he… is my husband, Yu Xian,” Murong Qiudi introduced Yu Xian to Mu Rong Zheng.

“Husband? You… you are finally willing to marry? Good, good!” Upon hearing Murong Qiudi’s words, Mu Rong Zheng was overjoyed and repeatedly exclaimed his approval!

This Yu Xian looked young, handsome, and imposing, far better looking than that Xie Xiaofeng. The key was that Murong Qiudi was willing!

It should be known that when Murong Qiudi was abandoned by Xie Xiaofeng, it dealt a huge blow to the reputation of the Murong Family, causing them to lose face. Murong Qiudi had never intended to remarry. Now that Murong Qiudi was willing to find someone, the heavy stone in his heart finally dropped.

It’s just that, given the current state of the Murong Family…

“But why do I feel like I’ve heard the name Yu Xian somewhere before?” Mu Rong Zheng muttered.

“Yu Xian of Beyond the Heavens, greetings to you, Father-in-law,” Yu Xian suddenly bowed slightly to Mu Rong Zheng and announced his name.

“Yu Xian of Beyond the Heavens?” Mu Rong Zheng was utterly shocked. No wonder the name Yu Xian sounded familiar; he was the one from Beyond the Heavens who caused the Murong Family to suffer like this!

“You… you…” Mu Rong Zheng stammered for a long time, unable to utter a complete sentence, feeling like he was about to suffer another bout of extreme anger.

“Dad, he is my Husband!” Murong Qiudi suddenly said with an unfriendly tone.

Mu Rong Zheng was stunned by this. Then he recalled what Murong Qiudi had said earlier—that it was the Old Ancestor who attacked first, and the other party was merely retaliating…

But they were mortal enemies! How could Murong Qiudi be with Yu Xian?

“A karmic entanglement!” In the end, Mu Rong Zheng could only sigh mournfully.

The Murong Family was already in this state, and the Old Ancestor was dead. He himself was barely clinging to life; what else could he afford to argue about?

“Dad, Husband treats me very well. What I gave you just now was an exceptionally precious Great Returning Pill; otherwise, you wouldn’t have recovered so quickly!” Murong Qiudi said, sounding displeased.

“You are trying to anger me to death! Back then, you and that…”

“Dad! That’s all in the past!” Seeing Mu Rong Zheng about to bring up past matters, Murong Qiudi immediately stopped him—Yu Xian was present!

“Father-in-law, please do not compare me to Xie Xiaofeng; I am not that irresponsible. Although Qiudi has suffered some grievances following me, I will not abandon her,” Yu Xian said coldly.

“Husband, I am not wronged,” Murong Qiudi immediately cut off Yu Xian.

She knew the grievance Yu Xian mentioned referred to him forcing her initially and the fact that he had many other women. However, Yu Xian had given her enough, and she didn’t feel wronged.

Mu Rong Zheng saw how anxious Murong Qiudi was and realized she had developed feelings. He let out another heavy sigh.
