Getting a Sugar Mommy in Cultivation World!!-Chapter 618: A Father’s Tears Are Heavier Than A Hailing Storm

"Your demands have been fulfilled. So, there is no longer anything you have to discuss with the disciple of our sect." Xin returned the greeting of the Zhong family with a polite nod before shifting her attention back to Elder Han. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Elder Han frowned, hearing her cold, dismissive tone. Although he wanted to get his hands on the precious orb in Noah's hand to study it in the name of taking things that belonged to their sect, he knew he could not push his luck anymore.

Everything he demanded till now was justifiable, but anything more would put him in a morally lower position, and Elder Han knew he did not have any other advantage against the member of the Benevolent Guardian Sect.

"…Very well, let's go, Wu Fei." With a reluctant look on his face, Elder Han waved his hand and turned to look at his disciple. 'Good thing that the qi in the ball is useless, or it would have been dangerous to let that thing fall into their hands.'

Being someone who had lived for more than five hundred years, Elder Han knew about the basic nature of qi. He knew once qi is refined by someone using a certain method, it retains a certain imprint, and if that person removes that qi from themselves permanently, it becomes useless as soon as it comes in contact with the wild qi in the air.

"I will be returning to the sect to inform the sect leader about your expulsion." As he was about to leave, the old man paused under the sharp gaze of the elders of the Zhong family and warned Zhong Hua, "But mark my words, if you ever use the techniques of our sect or try to spread them, the sect will spare no efforts to hunt you down." He looked at Noah and Xin Yan behind her and added, "…No matter where you hide."

"Haha!" Noah laughed off his warning without giving the girl a chance to respond. "You don't have to worry about it. I have seen her techniques, and we would certainly not want her to waste her time on those lowly playthings."

"You!" His disregard for their technique drew anger from Wu Fei, but his master pressed a hand over his shoulder, signaling him to stop.

Wu Fei followed his master's instructions out of obedience and also fear towards Noah's power. But he no longer held a fearful gaze toward Zhong Hua. "Zhong Hua, you used to be proud of your power and cultivation that was higher than mine, but now you are not even better than the worst disciple in our sect."

"Wu Fei, no matter how weak I become, you will never become truly strong." Not bothered by the comment, Zhong Hua showed a similar disdainful expression that Wu Fei was used to seeing, but instead of fear and jealousy, he only felt anger and disdain.

"Hmph!" With a cold snort, he left to chase after his master, who had already left the room.

"…" After the people from the Spirit Lotus Sect left the room, silence shrouded the people present. No one dared to breathe or speak as the members of the Zhong family exchanged glances before looking at their family head.

"Please forgive your father for his weakness, little Hua." Zhong Ben, the person who was revered as the strongest family head who could not be fazed by anything, fell to his knees. Tears streamed down his face as he asked for forgiveness from his daughter. "I shouldn't have asked you to join such a treacherous sect. You suffered all these years in silence because of me."

The pain he had been suppressing all this time could not be stopped anymore as it all came flooding out of his eyes in the form of the most raw emotions.

Seeing the defeated look on her usually proud and nonchalant father's face, something broke inside Zhong Hua. With a dull thump, she fell to the ground and hugged the person she admired the most in her life. "Don't… It's not your fault… You have nothing to apologize for. I am who I am because of you, Father, and I am proud of myself."

She choked on her words while trying her best to express how grateful she was to him. The father and daughter cried in each other's arms before the eyes of everyone present in the room.

The rest of the members of the Zhong family did not linger for long and left the room after bowing towards Xin Yan and Noah once more.

The two of them stayed like that for a while before Zhong Ben patted his daughter's back and broke their hug. There was a subtle flush on his face that showed how embarrassed he was, but the man chose not to say anything.

Zhong Hua was no better than her father as she tried to hide her face in the guise of wiping her tears and snot. Seeing them like that, Noah and Xin Yan exchanged warm glances.

"I am sorry to have shown such a disgraceful scene." Zhong Ben collected his bearings before bowing towards Xin Yan. "Now that Zhong Hua has chosen to join your sect, I hope you can take care of her and not let her suffer any more grievances."

"That is only natural. Zhong Hua will be treated equally, like the rest of the disciples." Xin Yan stepped forward and reassured the worried father with seriousness in her voice.

On the side, Zhong Hua, who had just stopped crying, once more started to tear up seeing her father's action. She walked up to him and hugged his arm from the side.

"And if you meet the requirements, you can even become the next sect leader. I am sure the current one would love to shrug off his responsibilities on someone else." Noah made a joke to lighten the mood, and it seemed to have worked, as a subtle smile appeared on their faces.

Wiping the remaining tears, Zhong Hua put on a serious look on her face as she asked, "When do we leave for the sect?"
