447 Stepping Into the Dao
Dong Xi hurriedly grabbed a maid and said, âIs there something good in the mansion today?â
The maid recognized Dong Xi. She immediately bowed and said, âYoung Master, you just came back. I think you donât know that Miss has already entered the Dao.â
Dong Xi was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and said, âSo fast? I have to hurry and congratulate Madam.â
No wonder everyone was so happy today. Shangguan Yunâer would not die so quickly after stepping into the Dao, and these peopleâs lives would be guaranteed.
Dong Xi had just entered Shangguan Yunâerâs room when she found Shangguan Patriarch there.
âMadam, youâve already stepped into the Dao?â Dong Xi asked with a smile.
Shangguan Yunâer nodded, not daring to look at Dong Xi.
Dong Xi flicked her wrist and handed the sunflower that she had prepared earlier to Shangguan Yunâer.
âA fresh flower matched with a beauty, Madam is really amazing!â said Dong Xi.
Shangguan Yunâer took the flowers and said, âThank you for your guidance, Husband.â
âItâs Madamâs talent thatâs good. All I did was say a few words,â Dong Xi said with a smile.
As soon as Dong Xi finished speaking, Shangguan Patriarch snorted coldly and said, âDong Li, I heard from the servant girl that youâre not in your room every night? I kindly entrusted my daughter to you, and you treat her like this?â
Dong Xi, ââ¦â
He still needed a proper reason to quibble.
Without waiting for Dong Xi to say anything, Shangguan Yunâer said, âFather, donât be angry. Itâs my fault because I didnât⦠let him come in.â
Shangguan Patriarch looked at Shangguan Yunâer and said gently, âYunâer, what do you think? If you didnât agree, I would have changed your husband. But you clearly agreed, so why didnât you let him in?â
At this point, Shangguan Patriarch frowned and continued, âYunâer, tell Father the truth. Are you lying for him?â
Shangguan Yunâer shook her head. Dong Xi stood up and said, âFather-In-Law, if you say this, it will really be unfair to me and Yunâer. Some time ago, Yunâerâs body was weak and I was really worried. I can only search everywhere to see if there is a way to cure Yunâer.â
When Dong Xi said this, Shangguan Patriarch also realized that it was all because of Dong Xi that Shangguan Yunâer was able to survive this tribulation.
It was all thanks to Dong Xi that her daughter was able to enter the Dao and cultivate.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Patriarch looked at Dong Xi with a much gentler expression.
âForget it,â Shangguan Patriarch said. âEverything is fine now. You guys should hurry up and get a child.â
Dong Xi was speechless.
He did not expect that Dong Xi would be facing the pain of being born at such a young age in the cultivation world.
Dong Xi casually agreed, and the two of them started to talk about the invitation quota.
âWhen I get the quota, you must take good care of Yunâer when you reach the Secret Realm,â said the Shangguan Patriarch.
Dong Xi was stunned. He had never thought that Shangguan Patriarch would dare to make such a crazy decision.
Dong Xi said, âFather-In-Law, Yunâerâs health isnât good. She has just stepped into the Dao. Sheâs not even at the first level of the Qi Refinement stage yet. Isnât it too dangerous to follow her to the Secret Realm?â
Shangguan Patriarch looked at Dong Xi with admiration and a smile in his eyes. He said, âItâs okay. Youâre there to protect her, arenât you? As long as you carefully protect Yunâer, nothing will happen to her.â
Shangguan Patriarch naturally had his own thoughts as well. The Secret Realm only opened once every 200 years. If he waited for the next time, he did not know what cultivation level Yunâer would reach.
It was better to take a gamble now. Yunâer still had all kinds of magic tools that Shangguan Patriarch had prepared. If she could gain something in the Secret Realm, her future cultivation would be much easier.
When Dong Xi heard Shangguan Patriarchâs words, she was instantly stunned.
Did Shangguan Patriarch trust Dong Xi too much?
Dong Xi could not even guarantee that she would be able to do it in the Secret Realm, yet she still had to protect a cultivator who was no different from a mortal?
âFather-In-Law, Iâm not afraid of the unexpected. Iâm just afraid⦠What ifâ¦â Dong Xi said.
Dong Xi wanted to continue the discussion, but before he could finish, Shangguan Patriarch interrupted him. Shangguan Patriarch said, âThereâs no what if! You and Yunâer must come back in one piece.â
Dong Xi did not say anything else, but she had an idea in her heart.
The two spots would definitely cost a lot of spirit stones. At that time, Dong Xi would just help Shangguan Yunâer hire a few more bodyguards.
Shangguan Yunâer saw Dong Xiâs frown and also felt that it was inappropriate to follow her into the Secret Realm.
For so many years, Shangguan Yunâer had been his fatherâs burden. Now, he had to drag someone down?
âFatherâ¦â Shangguan Yunâer said.
Before Shangguan Yunâer could say anything, Shangguan Patriarch said, âDonât say anything.â
Seeing Shangguan Yunâer shut up obediently, Shangguan Patriarch looked at Dong Xi again. Shangguan Patriarch said, âVirtuous Son-In-Law, do you agree to what I said today?â
