Monarch of Time

It was a simple sentence, and yet it had left Liu Jian staring at Liu Mei in shock.

''Take her mother away? What mother? My wife?''

Even Liu Changpun, the Grand Elder Lan Hong and the Elders around him, were all staring at Liu Mei, not understanding what she meant.

And yet, despite being confused, Liu Jian wasn't angry.

Instead, he looked at his daughter with a big smile on his face, and like a father who was trying to coax his angry child he said

''Meimei, don't be angry. Daddy will do whatever you want.

Come with me and let's go chat inside. Your mother is certainly very worried about you as well.''

This time, it wasn't just Liu Mei and Liu Changpun, but all of the Elders around him as well who were stunned by his behavior.

''Fathe-''

''Shut up! Quickly lead the way for me and your sister you unfilial son!''

Liu Changpun was ready to interrupt Liu Jian, and ask him if he had a fever, or perhaps he had caught some kind of rare disease that could infect the entire sect, but instead, he was met by a fierce rebuttal by his father.

Liu Jian who had always pampered his son had now berated him in front of all the Elders of the sect!

No matter what the reason was, this was certainly going to hurt his prestige in the future, when he succeeded his father for the position of the sect master.

And yet, after seeing the angry expression in his father's face, Liu Changpun didn't dare to flare up, and after shooting a look of anger at Liu Mei, he hurriedly went deeper inside the sect, as he 'led the way' for his father and his sister.

Before he could go too far however, Liu Changpun heard Liu Mei's cold voice as she looked at Liu Jian and said coldly

''There is no need! I didn't come here to chat with you like family. I am here to take my mother back, and settle everything with you and your son.''

Hearing Liu Mei's cold voice, Liu Jian's expression slowly turned angry, and looking at his daughter he finally asked furiously

''Liu Mei, are you sure that you want to talk to me like this? I am already being accommodating with you, but don't forget that you are still my daughter!''

''Hahahaha!'' Liu Mei's melodious laughter resounded in everyone's ears, but Liu Jian and the rest felt shivers in their bodies when they heard this.

To them, it sounded as if Liu Mei's laughter was filled with traces of death.

Even some of the inner disciples who had gathered near the entrance of the 'inner city' and had come to 'spectate' what was going on, soon felt themselves gasping for breath, as if death itself had appeared next to them, and was ready to take their lives with his scythe.

Looking at the shocked Liu Jian and the horrified Liu Changpun who took a few steps back to get even further away from her, Liu Mei laughed again before she continued

''Your daughter? NOW you remember that I am your daughter?

In all these years, have I not been a prisoner inside the sect?

Were you not cruel to me, treating me like an object rather than your own child?

Did you not only have eyes for your own son, the one who you were going to make the next sect master?

Even when Liu Changpun brought the third son of the 'Flying sword sect's' sect master, did you not berate me when I refused to marry him myself?

When Meng Shengyi came to you a year ago and said that he wanted to marry me no matter what, did you not say that as long as the 'Meng family' followed Liu Changpun faithfully and helped him reach the third trial of the 'Vermilion realm', that I would have to marry Meng Shengyi in return regardless if I agreed or not?

And now, you want me to forget everything and act as your obedient daughter?

Hahahaha! Isn't it because of the inheritance of the 'Vermilion realm'?''

As soon as Liu Mei finished her words, Liu Jian's own words were stuck in his throat!

Indeed, he hadn't cared about his daughter in the past.

It wasn't that he hated Liu Mei, but in the end, she was simply a tool to help her brother on his way to rise in the world.

After all, Liu Jian already had dreams of his son becoming the next sect master, and expanding the 'Floating Cloud sect' even further.

As for Liu Mei, even if her talent was at the same level as her brother's, she was still a woman in the end.

Although there were some sects that had women as their sect masters, Liu Jian didn't think that Liu Mei could ever lead the sect the way that Liu Changpun could.

Liu Mei could simply serve as a bridge, to connect Liu Changpun with his own helpers.

However, Liu Mei was also wrong.

Liu Jian didn't care about the 'Vermilion realm's' treasure that much.

Instead, after seeing that his daughter had already reached the middle-stages of the Spirit realm, a new plan had formulated in his mind.

He could now have Liu Mei lead the sect, and have her relocate to the center of the 'Desolate East', near the 'Golden Buddha temple's' location.

That was the location with the most dense qi in the entire 'Desolate East'.

Even the head priest of the 'Golden Buddha temple' had once admitted to Liu Jian, that the qi at the center of the 'Desolate East' wasn't too inferior to some of the cities of the 'Night star continent' like the Silver sword city!

This way, with Liu Mei's current speed of advancement, even if she advanced extremely slowly in the future, she still had chances to reach the late-stages of the Spirit realm, and perhaps... even the Nascent Soul stage.

Liu Jian trembled as this possibility flashed through his mind.

However, Liu Mei's next words completely crushed his illusions

''Liu Jian, today I am here to take my mother back and take revenge!''

After she finished speaking, Liu Mei waved her hand and a bright blue sword appeared in it.

It was her 'Four seasons azure sword'.
