Daughter? Buttface, Duan Jiude, Mo Junchen, and Liu Jingning looked at Xu Que in surprise. “My God!” Duan Jiude was totally shocked.

“After hanging around with Xu Que for so many years, we’ve just found out this guy is a woman? ‘When rabbits are lying on the earth, male rabbits always use their front feet to scratch, while female rabbits always close their eyes. If the two kinds of rabbits both run on the earth, who can tell which is male and which is female?’” Buttface even recited a line from a poem to illuminate their discovery!

“Could you keep quiet? How could you make fun of him at this moment?” Liu Jingning said as she stared at Buttface and Duan Jiude angrily. She knew Xu Que’s gender very well. With such a big thing in his crotch, how could Xu Que be a woman? Mo Junchen also nodded his head and frowned slightly. Anyone with discerning eyes could tell something was wrong with this soul couple, who were not able to see Xu Que’s appearance. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to call Xu Que their daughter! However, it could also prove that this couple made a mistake. Their child was a daughter, who might be Xuanyuan Wanrong in all likelihood!

“But…how could they make such a mistake?” This question puzzled Mo Junchen and also Xu Que. When Xuanyuan Qishang mentioned daughter in front of Xu Que, Xu Que was basically sure that Xuanyuan Wanrong was his daughter. After all, Xu Que was related to Xuanyuan Wanrong in some degree. This couple mistook him as their daughter because Xu Que used to get in touch with Xuanyuan Wanrong.

“Ahem, eh…seniors, actually, I am not your child. However, to some extent, I could be regarded as your son-in-law!” Xu Que said as he looked at the two souls with an embarrassed smile. He knew he had to be humble at this time. In front of these two extremely powerful souls, especially when he was held in the woman’s arms, he would never find an opportunity to escape and could be crushed easily if he chose to act tough at this moment.

However, when Xu Que finished speaking, the two souls had no reaction at all. Guan Chuchu continued to murmur “Xuanyuan…my child…” repeatedly in a low voice, and Xuanyuan Qishang kept saying “My daughter, don’t be afraid! Daddy is here” as he looked at Xu Que gently. They were just like two tape recorders who didn’t have the ability of independent thinking. All they could do was just keep murmuring.

Xu Que realized they had been trapped in an embarrassing situation. With the Divine Escape Spell in his hand, Xu Que wanted to escape. And he might have opportunities to escape now. However, if he really ran away, he didn’t know whether Buttface, Duan Jiude, Mo Junchen, and Liu Jingning who were still outside the cave would be in danger. This was a risk he was not able to take. It seemed the couple in front of him had no intelligence. If he ran away, they might vent their anger on his teammates. The consequences would be unimaginable for Xu Que.

“Brother Que, what should we do now? It seems you have been captured by these two psychos. I think you should ask them to release me first! So that I can ask for help!” Buttface shouted at this time.

“Nonsense! Don’t you see my words were ignored by them?” Xu Que said with embarrassment. Xu Que was not able to free himself from Guan Chuchu’s embrace. He was unable to move at this moment. Also his words had been totally ignored by the couple! What could he do? Just wait here until their soul dissipated?

“What?” An amazed voice could be heard from the depths of the cave at this time. This obtrusive voice came from an energetic old man who was giving off a gust of horrible momentum. Apparently, he was also a cultivator who was more powerful than the Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven! Xu Que and his teammates were totally terrified as they widened their eyes in terror. They could figure out this momentum was totally different from the momentum which had just disappeared. Obviously, it was from a different person! Apparently, a lot of old devils were hiding in this cave!

“Holy sh*t! Fortunately, we didn’t enter this cave recklessly. Otherwise, we would have been chewed up by them now!” Buttface, who still had a lingering fear in his heart, said at this time. Duan Jiude also nodded his head and was about to say something. The next moment, they saw an old man was walking out slowly with his hands behind his back from the depths of the cave.

This white-haired old man looked quite young. Therefore, it was more appropriate to describe him as an old man with white hair and ruddy complexion. At this moment, his face was full of shock and terror. He stopped walking and stared at Guan Chuchu, Xuanyuan Qishang, and Xu Que who was held in Guan Chuchu’s arms in a daze. “How…how could this be?” The old man’s body started to tremble.

BOOM! Suddenly, Xuanyuan Qishang, who was looking at Xu Que gently, turned around and stared at the old man with horrible killing intent. Then Xuanyuan Qishang yelled angrily, “How dare you do harm to my child? Just die!” Then Xuanyuan Qishang dashed toward the old man at an incredible speed like a phantom.

FLOP! The old man dropped on his knees and dropped his head to the ground heavily as he shouted, “I greet you, my ancestor! I am your unfilial apprentice, Li Xuanqi! I mean no harm! Please forgive my careless disturbance!”

SWISH! Xuanyuan Qishang’s soul stopped in front of Li Xuanqi abruptly. Xuanyuan Qishang ignored Li Xuanqi’s words. But he didn’t sense any evil intentions from Li Xuanqi, who had concealed his momentum. Therefore, Xuanyuan Qishang stopped and turned around and walked back toward Xu Que. His eyes became gentle and soft again. The next moment, he continued to say, “My daughter, don’t be afraid! Daddy is here!”

“Daughter?” Hearing this, Li Xuanqi looked up at Xu Que who looked like an old man in Guan Chuchu’s embrace. He was shocked by what he saw. “Is this old man at the Half-Celestial Stage a woman? Come on!”

“What are you looking at? My name is Doctor. My father calls me my Doctor! Why do you look at me in this way? Are you looking down upon my name?” Xu Que shouted as he stared at Li Xuanqi. At this time, Xu Que had no sense of guilt in his heart when he said Guan Chuchu and Xuanyuan Qishang were his parents. After all, according to the relationship between him and Xuanyuan Wanrong, it was reasonable for him to call Guan Chuchu mother and Xuanyuan Qishang father! The point was that Guan Chuchu and Xuanyuan Qishang had no reaction when Xu Que finished speaking. That made Xu Que happy because he knew he could make good use of them.

At the same time, the old man replied with a wry smile, “Please don’t misunderstand me! I wouldn’t dare to do that! I misheard just now! Please forgive my abruptness!”

“I will talk about it later! Now I have a question for you. You said you are Li Xuanqi. Are you the founder of the Heaven Palace Academy?” Xu Que asked seriously. He had figured out the situation. The couple, who had no intelligence, had mistaken him as their child. It was a precious opportunity to act tough! Xu Que made up his mind to make good use of it. Moreover, he had found the correct object of his search now. From the very beginning, they had planned to find Li Xuanqi. They didn’t expect this old fart was still alive! Now, it was much easier!

“Right! I am Li Xuanqi, the first Dean of the Heaven Palace Academy! And you are…” Li Xuanqi replied politely. He knew it was okay for him to show respect to a cultivator at the Half-Celestial Stage. However, he was more interested in the two souls beside Xu Que at this moment. When he looked at the two souls, he became more and more frightened. The previous big shots of the Heaven Palace Sect had been buried in this ancestral grave on the mountain behind the Heaven Palace Academy. However, he didn’t know that some big shots were still alive in this grave. Although they only had a strand of remnant soul left, their souls were still horribly powerful and had reached the level of the Celestial Prime or even the Celestial Emperor!

“Me? Heh, heh, you don’t know me! How could you say you are the Dean of the Heaven Palace Academy? Li Xuanqi, if I remember correctly, you were banished from the Heaven Palace Sect. How dare you establish another sect with the good reputation of the Heaven Palace Sect?” Xu Que said with a cold smile. At this moment, he was still being hugged in Guan Chuchu’s embrace. Therefore, he was not overbearing at all and even a little bit ridiculous no matter how hard he tried to sneer at Li Xuanqi now.

However, Li Xuanqi didn’t dare to laugh at Xu Que at this time. When he heard Xu Que’s words, he was totally shocked. “Are…you a senior in the Heaven Palace Sect?” He asked as his body was trembling with terror.

“Senior? Hah, hah! According to the seniority, I should be your Patriarch! Too many things have happened in the past. I had to seal myself. I didn’t expect the Heaven Palace Sect had disappeared when I woke up. Then I found the Heaven Palace Academy. And I heard it was established by a banished apprentice of the Heaven Palace Sect! How ridiculous this is!” Xu Que sneered as he stared at Li Xuanqi. Then, he shouted overbearingly, “Li Xuanqi, just tell me what happened in the Heaven Palace Sect? How was it wiped out overnight?”
