"Alright then."
Actually, Chen Nan had planned to escort the sisters safely home before heading to the Huashan Sword Sect.
But in the end, he couldn't refuse Yue Qimeng.
Both Yue Qimeng and Yue Qiluo.
The sisters were both good.
They hadn't abandoned him at crucial moments.
Especially Yue Qimeng, who had even threatened to die!
This alone showed that she had good character and could be a friend.
Since they were friends, shouldn't he help them through their difficulties?
Following that, Chen Nan was arranged to stay in a presidential suite at a five-star hotel.
"I have to say, after experiencing so much today, I'm quite tired."
After taking a bath, Chen Nan sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.
The night passed without incident.
The next day at noon, Chen Nan first received a call from Yue Qimeng: "Brother Chen, my father has sent a car to pick you up. We'll see you at Fushan Ju later!"
Fushan Ju.
A famous scenic spot in Gudou.
It was about a half-hour drive from Gudou.
Here, it was nestled against mountains and bordered by water, with pleasant scenery.
Although Fushan Ju was open to the public, it had been booked by the Yue family today.
The purpose was to entertain Chen Nan!
Warm sunlight hung in the sky.
Adding a touch of warmth to the early winter.
Upon arrival, Chen Nan was directly led to an ancient and elegant grand hall.
By this time, many delicacies were already laid out on the table.
"Mr. Chen, please have a seat!" Yue Dongming enthusiastically invited Chen Nan to sit.
Several stunningly beautiful women surrounded the round table.
Without exception.
Those women looked at Chen Nan with eyes full of admiration.
As if they knew what Chen Nan had done.
However.
Chen Nan did not see the Yue Qimeng sisters.
He frowned: "Why don't I see the sisters?"
Yue Dongming smiled: "I suppose they must have gone sightseeing! Ah, these two daughters of mine can't stay still for a moment! Especially the elder one, she loves outdoor adventures."
"It's fortunate that you met Mr. Chen this time. Otherwise, they would have certainly fallen into the hands of evildoers."
Chen Nan said nothing.
A trace of nervousness appeared on Yue Dongming's face: "I heard that Mr. Chen beheaded an outer elder of the Huashan Sword Sect yesterday. If I may be so bold to ask, which sect are you affiliated with?"
"I am just a rogue cultivator, belonging to no sect." Chen Nan did not conceal anything.
Yue Dongming was greatly surprised: "A rogue cultivator with such strength? Mr. Chen is truly too modest! Come, come, let's not talk about this. Let's drink until we drop today!" With that, he raised his wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Mr. Chen, we toast you as well!"
The beautiful women all raised their wine glasses.
Chen Nan said: "Mr. Yue, perhaps you could ask these ladies to leave!"
Although he liked women.
He disliked women who served as escorts!
"It was my oversight!" Yue Dongming quickly waved his hand, signaling the women to leave.
He had initially thought Chen Nan would like those women, but he hadn't expected to miscalculate.
Without overthinking, he quickly said: "I will penalize myself with three cups!"
Chen Nan also tilted his head back and drank the wine in his cup.
But at this moment.
Yue Qiluo came running from a distance, her face full of anxiety: "Mr. Chen, don't drink."
Chen Nan was full of confusion: "Is there something wrong with this wine?"
Yue Qiluo looked at her father with cold eyes: "Yue Dongming intends to harm you!"
???
Chen Nan was stunned and looked at Yue Dongming with confusion.
Yue Qimeng followed closely behind, panting, her eyes full of disappointment: "Dad, why? Brother Chen clearly saved our lives, why are you repaying kindness with enmity? Why do you want to harm him?"
Earlier, the sisters had been knocked unconscious and then tied up.
Fortunately, Yue Qiluo was a cultivator, and as soon as she woke up, she broke free from the ropes.
She had also guessed her father's intentions!
The appreciation banquet today was not as simple as it seemed on the surface!
Yue Dongming looked embarrassed and then sighed: "Since it has come to this, I won't pretend anymore. Mr. Chen, please don't blame me, Yue, for being ungrateful."
"Although I am very grateful that you saved my two daughters, you killed someone from the Huashan Sword Sect. We cannot afford to offend people like that!"
"Therefore, I need to hand you over to the people from the Huashan Sword Sect!"
Chen Nan smiled: "That's it?"
Yue Dongming was somewhat puzzled: "You don't seem angry?"
Chen Nan shrugged: "You are a father, and also the chairman of Yue's Group. If you fall, it will change the fate of many people! If it were me, I might make the same choice!"
"I would also protect my children and protect my foundation!"
"It's no big deal, don't take it to heart."
Yue Dongming sighed with emotion: "Mr. Chen's magnanimity is truly admirable!"
"My magnanimity doesn't require your judgment, but your methods are somewhat despicable!" Chen Nan revealed a cold smile: "Not only is there poison in the wine, but I didn't expect you to scheme against your own daughters!"
Yue Dongming was confused: "What do you mean by that, Mr. Chen?"
Chen Nan poured a cup of poisoned wine: "Do you really think that if cultivators desired your Yue family's assets, they would threaten you with your two daughters?"
"Do you really think such a lie could fool me?"
"Stop joking. If they desired your family's assets, there would be ten thousand ways to make you hand them over!"
"They wouldn't resort to threats!"
"Even taking a step back, even if they were really like that, what father would let his daughters return home at such a time?"
"Wouldn't it be better to hide in a strange city? Why risk returning to Gudou under the pursuit of enemies?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the Huashan Sword Sect's desire for the Yue family's assets is false. They are truly interested in your sisters, aren't they?"
As soon as these words were spoken.
A trace of shock appeared in the eyes of Yue Qimeng and her sister.
"Dad, is Brother Chen telling the truth?" Yue Qimeng clenched her fists tightly and looked at her father with pain.
In fact, she had also felt that there was something strange about her father asking her to return, but she hadn't dared to think about it further.
Yue Qiluo said in a low voice: "So, there was no mole around you at all, because all of you are moles!"
Since it had come to this, Yue Dongming no longer pretended. He smiled: "Yes, Chen Nan is right. It is indeed the second elder of the Huashan Sword Sect who fancies you two sisters. If I had told you the truth, you would certainly not have agreed!"
"Therefore, I could only lie and lure you back!"
"Why? Why would you deceive us like this?" Yue Qimeng's tears streamed down her face, she hadn't expected her father to marry them off to the Huashan Sword Sect while hiding it from them.
"Why?" Yue Dongming said through gritted teeth: "Of course, I was thinking of you. After all, the other party is the second elder of the Huashan Sword Sect. If you marry into there, you will surely gain immortal opportunities in the future!"
Yue Qiluo said in a low voice: "It should be you who gains immortal opportunities, shouldn't it?"
Yue Dongming shrugged without denying it: "As the saying goes, when one person ascends, even their pets and ancestors are elevated. If you all marry into the immortal sect, I will certainly gain some benefits!"
"Of course, my original intention was still for your benefit!"
Yue Dongming had yearned for the life of a cultivator since childhood.
Therefore, he had several enshrined patrons in his family.
Unfortunately, his talent was mediocre.
When he received the news from the Huashan Sword Sect that as long as the two daughters were married into the Huashan Sword Sect, he would be given a pill for a transformative rebirth.
At that moment.
He was tempted!
Let alone sacrificing his two daughters, even giving up the entire Yue family would have been acceptable to him!
