Chapter 1499: Chapter 1458: Removing the Nail
“Shut up! Call that again, and I’ll tear your mouth apart!”
Kong Yuanliang gave Lu Chuan a fierce glare, but still obediently led the group to the Teaching Peak.
He can dislike Lu Chuan, but he doesn’t want his daughter to start hating him. Even for his precious baby girl, Kong Yuanliang can only swallow this bitterness. Who made him a doting father?
Now, Kong Yuanliang is gradually understanding why the secular world has so many so-called Huang Mao. Fathers who care about their daughters, and daughters who are obsessed with Huang Mao—Kong Yuanliang used to not understand. What nonsense Huang Mao? Just straight-up kill him, wouldn’t that suffice?
But now looking at the situation, if he actually did that, the relationship with his daughter might beco irreparable.
“I warn you, Lu Chuan, don’t be too complacent!”
“… complacent? Where did you see being complacent, father-in-law?”
“Don’t call father-in-law! I don’t have a son-in-law like you!”
“So… does father not have a daughter like either?”
Kong Yuanliang: “…”
His little cotton-padded jacket of twenty-sothing years suddenly starts to leak wind.
Seeing Kong Yuanliang’s awkwardness, Mu Changchen couldn’t hold back anymore and burst out laughing.
“Haha… Sect Master, I say you should stop struggling, is there any need to struggle?”
“What do you know? She’s not your daughter! Stand there and talk without your back hurting, gloating!”
“Hey! If she were my daughter, I’d wish she could marry Lu Chuan. He’s young, capable, responsible, and reliable. It’s rare to find soone like him even with a lantern! Don’t you agree, Zhaozhao?”
Kong Zhaozhao was stunned at first, then nodded her head like a chicken pecking rice, which left Kong Yuanliang fuming.
Why does this make look like the villain? Clearly, it’s Lu Chuan, this little bastard, who tarnished my daughter’s innocence!
Though… doing so was also to save Kong Zhaozhao’s life, yet Kong Yuanliang couldn’t help but feel very uneasy.
While his thoughts were churning, the group arrived at the Teaching Peak. Chen Feibai, unable to endure the strange atmosphere, found an excuse to leave early. Mu Changchen originally wanted to slip away as well, but after noticing Lu Chuan’s gaze, he reluctantly chose to stay.
After dismissing everyone else in the hall, Kong Yuanliang sat in the main seat, glanced at Lu Chuan, and said coldly, “Explain yourself. Why are you here?”
“Naturally, to check on Zhaozhao’s safety. Recently, so thieves have popped up in the secular world. Although their power isn’t strong, they are very good at deceiving people, winning over many cultivators. I’m worried similar things might happen in the Penglai Immortal Domain, so I ca to take a look.”
“Hmph, what a high-sounding reason. So, you’re saying you need to remove the Spirit Suppressing Nail from your head?”
“Well, that’s also necessary. Although leaving it isn’t painful or botherso, it’s the father-in-law’s treasure, of course, it should be returned to its rightful owner.”
n are stubborn creatures, both Lu Chuan and Kong Yuanliang are like this. Neither is willing to yield, both holding firmly to their positions.
“Since it’s not painful or botherso, there’s no need to remove it. Consider this Spirit Suppressing Nail as my gift to you.”
“That won’t do; I can’t accept reward without rit. The father-in-law should take it back.”
“How dare you refuse a gift from your elder?”
Seeing the two engaging in a verbal battle, Mu Changchen couldn’t help but roll his eyes and sighed helplessly, “You two combined have over a thousand years, why are you still so childish? Sect Master, just hurry up and remove the Spirit Suppressing Nail. And you, Lu Chuan, what’s the point of being stubborn?”
It was fine not being exposed, but once uncovered, both Lu Chuan and Kong Yuanliang’s old faces turned beet red as they awkwardly shifted their gaze.
“Fine, co forward, and I’ll help you remove it.”
“Thank you very much.”
Lu Chuan stiffly expressed his gratitude, then stood up and approached, lowering his head.
Looking at the Spirit Suppressing Nail on Lu Chuan’s head, Kong Yuanliang hesitated.
If he wanted, he could completely suppress and kill Lu Chuan now, sealing his fate forever!
However…
At the corner of his eye, glimpsing Kong Zhaozhao’s hopeful expression, Kong Yuanliang ultimately couldn’t bring himself to do it.
“Rember, I’m helping you for my own daughter’s sake.”
“Got it. Why do you think I call you father-in-law?”
“Shut up!”
Kong Yuanliang grunted, ford a spell with his hand, using spiritual power to guide the Spirit Suppressing Nail slowly out from Lu Chuan’s skull!
In an instant, the excruciating pain spread through Lu Chuan’s entire body. Had he not prepared himself and clenched his teeth, he might have scread out in agony on the spot.
“Don’t hold back. If it hurts, scream. It might help ease the pain.”
“No worries, it’s not painful at all!”
“You’re trembling; you think I can’t see it?”
“I’m trembling not because of the pain. The father-in-law misunderstood!”
The nearly ten-centiter Spirit Suppressing Nail brought Lu Chuan unimaginably intense pain, almost causing him to pass out completely!
Lu Chuan had reason to suspect that Kong Yuanliang was deliberately torturing him, settling a personal score!
But since he needed help, Lu Chuan could only grit his teeth and endure in silence.
Finally, just before Lu Chuan completely lost consciousness, the Spirit Suppressing Nail was fully extracted. Lu Chuan’s face was almost covered in blood, looking quite miserable!
Thankfully, that torturous pain also eased considerably once the Spirit Suppressing Nail was removed. Lu Chuan quickly consud several elixir pills, and the blood hole on his head finally began to slowly heal.
“Alright, you can step back now.”
“Thank you, father-in-law. I knew it—you actually approve of and Zhaozhao in your heart, you’re just too embarrassed to admit it.”
Having the thorn removed, Lu Chuan’s true nature was fully exposed, causing Kong Yuanliang’s expression to fluctuate, sotis pinching his fingers together, sotis clenching them into fists, seemingly contemplating how to strike Lu Chuan to vent his anger. Seeing this, Lu Chuan hurriedly made a swift retreat to Kong Zhaozhao’s side.
Witnessing Lu Chuan interact with her father like this, Kong Zhaozhao couldn’t help but smile warmly.
“Father, I’ve told you before, Lu Chuan’s nature isn’t bad. It’s just that you have preconceived notions when you look at him. You see how Elder Mu admires Lu Chuan after dropping those prejudices?”
“Exactly! Is there anyone as excellent as as a son-in-law in the Penglai Immortal Domain?”
“Alright, if you keep making father angry and he really starts sothing, I won’t be able to stop him.”
Seeing Lu Chuan still fanning the flas, Kong Zhaozhao quickly covered his mouth, but this was the real reason behind Kong Yuanliang’s anger. Witnessing Lu Chuan so close with his beloved daughter, Kong Yuanliang was tempted to kill Lu Chuan!
“Alright, you’ve seen the person, and the Spirit Suppressing Nail is out. Now you can leave; Penglai Immortal Domain doesn’t welco you!”
“Father, that’s not what you said before. Are you planning to go back on your word?”
