401 Changing Her Words

However, Shangguan Patriarch still had a daughter. Her daughter was a mortal. If Shangguan Patriarch could not return, how could Shangguan Yun’er protect the family business? Those cultivators would probably swallow the Shangguan family alive and eat them clean.

Now, he was choosing a husband for Shangguan Yun’er. Although this cultivator might not be reliable, Shangguan Patriarch had planted people in the residence, especially the ambitious Little Ya.

In this way, both sides would balance each other. As long as Shangguan Patriarch’s life tablet was not broken, Shangguan Yun’er would be very safe until he died.

After Dong Xi washed up, she was about to return to Shangguan Yun’er’s room when she bumped into her father-in-law, Shangguan Patriarch.

Dong Xi immediately stopped, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

What was going on? Father-In-Law wanted to eavesdrop? Was there a need to test her acting skills later?

“Shangguan Patriarch.” Dong Xi bowed respectfully.

Shangguan Patriarch said with a smile, “You still call me Shangguan Patriarch?”

Dong Xi pondered for a moment. Should she change her words?

“Father?” Dong Xi probed.

“Good boy,” said Shangguan Patriarch with a smile.

Dong Xi obediently moved closer. If he was going to give her money, Dong Xi would immediately accept it.

Shangguan Patriarch did not disappoint Dong Xi. He took out a bracelet and handed it to Dong Xi. Shangguan Patriarch said, “This is a protective treasure. Keep it well. Father needs to go into seclusion in three days. In the future, I’ll leave Yun’er in your care.”

Dong Xi was flattered and bowed,” Father, don’t worry. I will take good care of Yun’er.”

Shangguan Patriarch smiled and wanted to praise him, but he suddenly thought of something and said, “By the way, what’s your name?”

“I’m Dong Li,” said Dong Xi.

“Dong Li?” Shangguan Patriarch asked. “The name is not bad.”

Dong Xi smiled. Shangguan Patriarch patted Dong Xi’s shoulder and inadvertently touched the bracelet Dong Xi wore. Shangguan Patriarch said, “Dong Li, let’s go back. A night in spring is worth a thousand gold.”

Dong Xi was pushed back slightly by Shangguan Patriarch. Coincidentally, Shangguan Yun’er opened the door. Dong Xi glanced at Shangguan Patriarch and then entered Shangguan Yun’er’s room.

What was the meaning of this father and daughter duo? She felt that it was very strange. Once she found out what Senior Brother Rui Ming had lost, Dong Xi would definitely leave immediately.

As soon as this thought flashed through Dong Xi’s mind, Su Cheng knew.

Su Cheng’s voice sounded in Dong Xi’s mind. Su Cheng said, “You’re not too stupid. I thought you were thoroughly sold, and even started counting the spirit stones you’ll get from this family.”

“That’s right. I’m quite stupid. You’ve already sold me, yet I still helped you count the spirit stones,” said Dong Xi.

“There’s no time to talk nonsense now,” said Su Cheng. “Pay attention to that bracelet.”

“I know,” said Dong Xi.

Su Cheng suddenly said in surprise, “You know, but you still want to wear it?”

“You’re here with me, right?” Dong Xi said righteously. “You and I will suffer together. What am I afraid of?”

“You already want to marry Shangguan Patriarch, yet you’re still going to suffer together with me?” asked Su Cheng.

Dong Xi raised her eyebrows. If she did not know that Su Cheng would be Dong Rourou’s lackey in the future, she would have thought that Su Cheng was jealous.

Looking at it now, there was only sarcasm.

“An old man wants to eat a young grass like me?” Dong Xi said. “Dream on!”

Su Cheng was speechless.

“Also, what did Shangguan Patriarch do to the bracelet?” Dong Xi continued.

Su Cheng was afraid of being angered to death by Dong Xi. Hearing Dong Xi’s question, Su Cheng said directly, “Shangguan Patriarch has set up a restriction on the bracelet. In the future, you can only listen to Shangguan Yun’er. If you have any thoughts of resisting, your soul will be directly obliterated.”

Dong Xi immediately let out a cold breath. Dong Xi said, “Tsk tsk… This dog is really ruthless!”

She had just called him ‘Father’, but he was so ruthless that he did not even let her reincarnate!

Su Cheng saw Dong Xi’s sad face and his mood immediately improved. Su Cheng said, “Shangguan Patriarch is at the Soul Formation stage after all. You’re just an ant in his eyes.”

Dong Xi’s face turned ugly as she said, “How dare you treat me like this? Shangguan Patriarch, please leave. When you come back, I will definitely destroy the entire Shangguan family’s fortune!”

Su Cheng was speechless.

This girl was really useless!

Dong Xi did not care about the bracelet and directly entered the inner room.

The inner chamber was brightly lit by the fire. Shangguan Yun’er was wearing a red muslin, which made her skin appear even more creamy.

Seeing Dong Xi enter, Shangguan Yun’er glanced at her with a warning look in her eyes. Dong Xi stood obediently on the spot and did not approach.

Looking at Shangguan Yun’er’s eyes, Dong Xi also knew that she should not dream of kissing her today.

“Yun’er, don’t worry. I’ll sleep on the floor today,” said Dong Xi obediently.
