Forsaken Immortals

While Yan Wenxiu had descended into memories of him and his wife, a few knocks were heard on the door, which brought him right back to the present.

Knowing that his daughter and Li Moyun were standing outside the door and waiting to enter, he could not longer hold back his longing for meeting her and letting her know that he was there and would protect her in the future.

Taking a deep breath, he called out to open the door.

"Master." The servant that opened the door was surprised to see another powerful figure within the office of Sun Junmeng. Even Sun Junmeng was seemingly respectful towards this handsome young man, so the servant dared not think too much and instead lowered his gaze.

"I have brought Miss Bai and her husband to visit you." The servant quickly bowed, after which he retreated and closed the door behind him.

The office descended into silence as the three were looking at one specific person, Yan Wenxiu. Only he was staring right at Bai Rouyun with unexplainable emotions clearly swirling within his eyes.

Yan Wenxiu had never been a person who would fear the unknown, nor was he someone who would back down in the face of danger or challenges, but right now, he had an unexplainable urge to flee and pretend that he knew nothing.

Even so, he also felt a strange pride and satisfaction as he looked at his grown daughter that was beautiful and clearly very powerful. She was the best daughter in the world.

Bai Rouyun could not help but frown as she looked at the man in front of her. Although his age seemed to be around the same as Li Moyun, she had a strange feeling of nervousness and excitement that one would have when meeting an elder.

At the same time, she also couldn't help but notice the clear nervousness hidden within the handsome man's eyes and gestures, causing her to think twice as to whether or not she knew him.

Sun Junmeng and Li Moyun were both silent as they observed one person each. Sun Junmeng was silently cheering for his master and hoping that the two could recognize one another sooner rather than later, while Li Moyun managed to find some similarities between the two people staring at one another.

The handsome man's strength was far above Li Moyun's, but he did not sense any hostility. Looking at the resemblance between the two, and the friendliness that the Lingcao Pavilion had shown so far, he had a guess as to what identity the handsome man had.

However, as the saying goes, the bystander was clear while the involved parties were confused. Bai Rouyun had not seen any similarities between the two, but she had a strange fondness for the handsome man and wished to be closer to him. Not at all in the same way as she felt towards Li Moyun, more comparable to her adopted children. However, the guy seemed far too old to be adoptable, unfortunately.

Clearing his throat, Yan Wenxiu decided that he should try and speak with Bai Rouyun. He had never had a proper conversation with his own daughter, and now that he had the chance, he had to do his best.

Yet, as soon as he opened his mouth, ready to ask her a few questions, he found that his voice seemed to have let him down. He did not know what to say or how to introduce himself. The build-up excitement deflated instantly like a punctured balloon.

The corners of Li Moyun's mouth could not help but twitch as he watched the strange reaction from Yan Wenxiu. Yan Wenxiu was a famous figure in the Godly Domain, and he was famed for his unfeeling ruthlessness whenever someone went against him.

Every rumor about him focused on his lack of humanity, and even his merciless treatment of women was wellknown.

However, this cruel expert was now standing in front of Bai Rouyun and resembled an elementary student that had done something wrong and was waiting to be scolded.

Not knowing whether or not he should interfere, Li Moyun looked from his wife to the man, who was likely to be his biological father-in-law.

"Dearest, you and this gentleman look quite similar. Some of your features are as if they were carved from the same mold." In the end, Li Moyun felt that he had to give at least a little push, to help his wife recognize the man, but unfortunately, he had overestimated her thought process.

It was not that Bai Rouyun was dumb, but she often thought in strange ways, and she had lived for so long without a real father, so she had long forgotten that her biological dad would be roaming the world somewhere.

As such, she looked at the man in front of her, and clarity appeared in her eyes.

"No wonder I felt so friendly when I met him. Since we have some sort of resemblance in our appearance it is natural for me to have a good impression." She nodded her head repeatedly, and overlooked the exasperated and helpless gleam that flashed past in the eyes of the other three people.

"You are the master of Lord Sun Junmeng? He has helped us a lot up until now, so we would like to thank you for your help."

At this point, the initial nervousness and fear of rejection that Yan Wenxiu had felt had faded away, and instead he felt somewhat helpless and amused. How could his daughter have turned into such a ditzy young woman?
