Chapter 133 The Duke's House's Eldest Daughter 3
"The Master does not speak of strange things, supernatural powers, or the like!"
"You are also a well-read person, how could you say such a ridiculous thing? If it gets out, how will outsiders view my Xu family?"
"Did someone whisper nonsense in your ear, causing you to have such a messy thought? Tell the truth quickly. The Duke's Mansion cannot keep such a sinister person!"
The man, who was moist and gentle just now, almost jumped up like a cat whose paw was stepped on, his face flushed red, and he pointed at her and cursed her, showing that he was very angry.
After all, the person in front of him was his eldest daughter, whom he had high hopes for. If someone with ulterior motives spread rumors and ruined her reputation, it would inevitably affect her marriage and disrupt many of his plans.
Besides, this is not just her problem. The tribesmen are all of the same blood. If anything happens to her, it will implicate the sisters in the entire tribe. That's why Xu Chuan is so ashamed and angry.
Shen Yuan let him scold silently, and seeing that he seemed to be a little thirsty, he considerately offered him a cup of fragrant tea, fearing that he would tire himself out.
Seeing her innocent face, how could Xu Chuan continue to scold her? He coughed lightly, took the teacup, took a sip slowly, and his expression gradually regained its composure.
"As a woman, you should be careful with your words and actions. Since this is your first offense, your father will not punish you. Go back and reflect on your actions. Never talk about gods or ghosts again."
"And the one who gossiped in your ear, our Duke's Mansion cannot tolerate such talkative people. Go tell your mother, she knows what to do."
"But father," Shen Yuan blinked, looking as sincere as he could be, "no one taught me that this was really my daughter's dream."
Xu Chuan: “…”
Seeing that she was so stubborn, Xu Chuan was about to get angry again, but he just started to get angry when he froze. He looked extremely funny with his mouth wide open.
Chen Yuan held a cluster of flames on his fingers, shaking them from side to side, with an innocent smile on his face: "Father, look, I didn't lie to you~"
Xu Chuan foolishly stretched out his fingers to touch it, and as soon as his fingertips touched the flame, he was burned with a "hiss". He quickly withdrew his hand and stood up abruptly.
"This this……"
He looked at his daughter's innocent smiling face, then at the flame on her fingertips. His eyes drifted back and forth. He was dumbfounded for a moment and couldn't speak for a long time.
Shen Yuan clenched her five fingers, and the flame that had been burning brilliantly just now suddenly disappeared without a trace. Looking at her fingers again, they were still white and tender, without any trace.
If Xu Chuan's fingertips had not still felt the pain of being burned, he would probably have thought that what had just happened was all an illusion.
"Yao'er..." He was stunned for a long while before sitting down blankly, "What you just said, is it... true?"
Immortals in dreams? Why does it sound like he is dreaming now?
"My daughter never tells lies." Shen Yuan answered half aggrievedly and half seriously.
[Pah!] 295 spat at her loudly, then quickly hid in the big devil's hair before she could attack.
"This..." Xu Chuan still felt like he was in a dream. "It's not that I don't believe you, but this is really... really too surprising."
Shen Yuan smiled faintly, and stopped arguing for himself. He drank his tea leisurely, silently giving him time to digest.
After all, Xu Chuan was a ruthless man who dared to get involved in the fight for the throne. His psychological quality was still very strong. In just a cup of tea, he completely recovered.
Silently picking up the teacup and taking a sip, he lowered his eyelids to cover his gleaming eyes. Chen Yuan could tell at a glance that this man was thinking about how to maximize his benefits by taking advantage of his daughter's "immortal fate".
But it doesn't matter. Anyway, the original owner also wanted to protect the Xu family. Everyone agrees with this, but...
Chen Yuan gently put down the teacup and said, "The immortal said that if you become her disciple, you must do more good deeds. If you use the immortal arts she taught you to do evil, she will immediately take back the magic power from her daughter and punish you."
She pretended to be scared and said, "What kind of thing is considered a crime, father? The other day, your daughter accidentally broke your big brother's favorite painting. Does that count as a crime?"
Xu Chuan's body froze for a moment, then relaxed after a moment, and laughed: "Silly boy, it was just an unintentional mistake. How could the immortal care about such a small matter?"
"I think the immortals are referring to theft, fraud, murder, arson and the like, right?"
"Ah!" Shen Yuan exclaimed with his hands covering his mouth, his eyes wide open, "I definitely wouldn't dare to do that!"
"So Yao'er, don't worry." Seeing his daughter's frightened look, Xu Chuan hurriedly comforted her, "You are blessed to have this immortal fate. From now on, your father will take good care of you and give you guidance. If there is anything you don't understand, you can always come and ask your father."
"Thank you, father." Shen Yuan said with gratitude.
"We are blood relatives, there is no need to be so polite." Xu Chuan nodded with relief. The more he looked at his daughter, the more he felt that she was ethereal. No wonder he felt that she was different when he saw her before.
It was the first time he came into contact with such an unpredictable power. He felt as if there were a hundred cat claws scratching his heart. Jian Zhen was extremely curious. After comforting his daughter, he couldn't wait to ask, "Yao'er, besides the fire just now, did the immortal teach you anything else?"
"Yes." Shen Yuan nodded in confusion, and then, in his expectant eyes, a breeze was summoned, and a drizzle fell, causing a few young buds to grow on the wooden desk, and a small slope rose on the compacted ground...
After demonstrating some tricks, she forced sweat on her forehead, pretending to have tried her best, and "weakly" held on to the table, smiling embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, father, my daughter is not very skilled. I tried hard for an entire afternoon, but I can only do this little bit..."
She lowered her head in shame. "The immortal is so powerful that he can easily summon violent storms and rainstorms, raise a mountain out of thin air, and with just a wave of his hand, it is covered with large tracts of plants..."
"I, I am so useless..."
Listening to her story, Xu Chuan, who was splashed with water, had a wet head and eyes full of yearning: "Yao'er, don't belittle yourself. You said that he is an immortal, so he must have great magical powers."
"You are just a beginner now, but you have achieved such results in just half a day. This proves that you are very talented. I believe that it won't be long before you can reach the level of an immortal, or even surpass her."
"Really?" Shen Yuan looked "surprised", his two round eyes sparkling, "Is my daughter really as amazing as her father said?"
"Of course, haha!" Xu Chuan didn't understand all this, otherwise he would have become an immortal. He was just saying some words to deliberately make her happy.
Seeing that she believed him, he smiled with his eyes bent, and asked tentatively: "I wonder if the immortal has ever said whether he will allow you to teach others the immortal arts?"
