Chapter 314: Ch 102 - Stupidity
Shangguan Bing'er took a step back, leaning onto Zhou Weiqing as she stared at Shangguan Tianyue in front of her, her eyes filled with a confused, complicated look as tears streamed down from them. Even though she was ready for this reunion but it was still not simple for her as it was a very emotional moment and she had no idea how to react. Logic told her that this was indeed her father, but she somehow couldn't call out the word 'Father'.
Shangguan Tianyue ignored Zhou Weiqing, as if he were air, instead asking urgently. "Bing'er, I've finally found you. How about your mother? Did she come as well? Is she finally willing to forgive me?"
Right at that moment, a dozen or so people rushed up and down the stairs, reaching them before kneeling at a distance, saying respectfully. "Greetings, Second Palace Master."
Amongst them was the first-level manager that Zhou Weiqing and Shangguan Bing'er had seen earlier, Wu Wenjie.
Shangguan Tianyue furrowed his brow, a little irritated at the interruption. "Please, get up, we do not need you here. Carry on."
The dozen or so powerhouses who were clearly the managers of the Consolidating Equipment Pavilion vanished quickly.
Shangguan Tianyue took in a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down as he turned back to Shangguan Bing'er, who was still staring dazedly as she cried. In a gentle tone, he said. "Bing'er, this isn't the place to talk, come back home with Father? We can talk when we're home, okay?"
As he said that, he lifted his hand to pull on Shangguan Bing'er, but she was like a startled little bird, and in a flash she moved behind Zhou Weiqing.
"Senior, please calm down, do not scare Bing'er." Zhou Weiqing quickly moved his body to shelter Shangguan Bing'er behind her. He could see that Bing'er was clearly emotionally agitated and needed some time to digest everything.
At that moment, Shangguan Xue'er also called out. "Yes, Father. Please calm down. You are scaring her, Father."
Shangguan Tianyue ignored her elder daughter's words and spoke coldly. "Who are you?!"
He saw a complete stranger standing in front of his daughter and was instantly pissed off.
Zhou Weiqing smiled faintly and said. "Senior, I am Bing'er's fiance."
"Fiance?" Shangguan Tianyue's voice raised up much higher, as he swept a fierce gaze on Zhou Weiqing. He then said rudely. "You? A mere Low-Level Zun Stage Heavenly Jewel Master, barely breaking eighteen levels of Heavenly Energy? You? Want to be my daughter's fiance?"
Zhou Weiqing smiled faintly and didn't back down at all, staring straight into his father-in-law's eyes.
"Senior, my cultivation level has nothing to do with the feelings between Shangguan Bing'er and me." Zhou Weiqing said simply. neither servile nor overbearing.
Shangguan Tianyue said coldly. "How can there be no connection? To be my Shangguan Tianyue's son-in-law, you must be a dragon or phoenix amongst men. What are you? No looks, no cultivation, and you want to marry into my Heaven's Expanse Palace?!"
Zhou Weiqing's face turned cold. He normally could take such insults lightly and didn't pay any attention to it but Shagguan Tianyue was looking down on him too much, even thinking that he was going to join Heaven's Expanse Palace. Furthermore, he said that in front of Shangguan Bing'er; as such, our dear Little Fatty was unable to hold himself back from retorting.
"Senior, you are right. I do not have the looks. However, I love Bing'er and am willing to do anything for her. Furthermore, Bing'er is already mine. And who do you think your so-called Heaven's Expanse Palace is? Even if you get on your knees and beg me to join it, I will not pay any heed. You are so obstinate and conceited, I can understand why Aunty Tang Xian left you."
"What did you say?" Shangguan Tianyue said angrily.
Shangguan Bing'er who had recovered a little was dumbfounded by Zhou Weiqing's words while Shangguan Xue'er shook her head and sighed. She had been very familiar with Zhou Weiqing and his character. He was completely unyielding and ruthless under his all-sunny and flirty personality, much like his master. Once you had gotten on his bad side, it would not end well.
Zhou Weiqing felt his entire body tighten, and before he knew what happened, he was in Shangguan Tianyue's hands, held by the neck and unable to breathe.
Shangguan Tianyue held Zhou Weiqing with one hand, while he looked at Shangguan Bing'er.
The latter was startled and worriedly called out. "Let go! Let go of him!"
A profound meaning flashed, hidden, as he said solemnly. "Bing'er, follow me home and I'll let him go. Otherwise, I'll kill him now."
"What did you just say?!" However before Bing'er could reply, Zhou Weiqing's cold voice echoed in Shangguan Tianyue's ear.
The arrogant father-in-law felt a sharp pain in his wrist and turned his head, only to see iron-clawed fingers wrapped around his wrist and crushing his hand.
"What?!"
The entire space trembled as the Heavenly Energy cried out.
Before Shangguan Tianyue could react, a palm slammed into his chest. He felt a terrifying pressure falling on his body, causing him to take a few steps back.
The great Vice Palace Lord of the Heaven's Expanse Palace greeted his teeth in pain, quickly covering his chest with his hand.
Zhou Weiqing stood in front of Shangguan Bing'er and declared. "Even if you are a God. If Bing'er doesn't want to go with you, nobody can force her to do so!"
Shangguan Tianyue trembled and raised his head, only to get a sight which forced her to suck a deep breath. The middle-aged Vice Palace Lord of the Heaven's Expanse Palace saw Zhou Weiqing's arm of his outfit fluttering in the wind and eleven pairs of Heavenly Jewels rotating around his arm.
"H-H-Heavenly Emperor? A peak Heavenly Emperor Powerhouse?! But just now you are..."
Shangguan Tianyue was speechless by the sudden increase in Zhou Weiqing's strength. He had clearly felt that Zhou Weiqing only had four pairs of jewels just now.
Shangguan Xue'er sighed and quickly stepped in between. "Weiqing, retreat your jewels. It will only draw unwanted attention... And you, father, why are you acting like a stubborn child? She is my sister and I know you're excited but you're only displeasing her, if nothing else..."
Only after he listened to the harsh words of his eldest daughter did Shangguan Tianyue finally calm down. But his brows furrowed together, revealing the shock he had received from his son-in-law.
