Li Canghai restrained the urge to take action.

In a low voice, he said, "Alright."

His soul also wanted to see where Li Qiushui was, and at the same time, he wanted to see if Yu Yan was there.

But he couldn't see anything. He couldn't even pry into the privacy of those mortals in the outer city.

Moreover, he himself didn't know if he came to find his daughter or if he used finding his daughter as an excuse to come and see Yu Yan.

Zhang Ran transmitted his voice to Li Qiushui.

After hearing what was said, Li Qiushui fell silent for a moment while practicing, and decided to come out and see this irresponsible father.

Soon, Li Qiushui walked out.

The Seventh Prince looked at her slightly raised belly, and a wave of anger surged in his heart.

Taking a deep breath, he struggled to control his anger, even the aura of a half-step Soul Formation was somewhat uncontrollable. He forcefully suppressed his anger.

In a low voice, he roared, "Come back with me," and was about to pull Li Qiushui away.

However, Zhang Ran grabbed Li Qiushui and avoided Li Canghai, saying with a hint of anger, "Seventh Prince, this is my Dao companion. It's a bit excessive for you to come up and try to take her away."

"Zhang Ran, this is my daughter. I have the right to take her away," Li Canghai angrily said. Zhang Ran's attitude made him wish he could kill him on the spot, but he remembered the Fifth Prince's instructions.

There would be no benefit in starting a fight here. It would be better to wait until the opening of the Broken Sky and resolve the grievances between them at that time.

Zhang Ran looked at the angry Seventh Prince. As a sixth-level Nascent Soul cultivator with the power of Thunder Soul, he naturally sensed the fleeting killing intent from the Seventh Prince. However, Zhang Ran remained calm. If it weren't for the fact that he was Li Qiushui's father, he would have activated the formation and killed him on the spot.

He had previously learned that the Seventh Prince was someone who sought revenge and held grudges, but he wouldn't do anything outrageous. In terms of character, he shouldn't be too bad, so there was no need to worry about him targeting other members of his family in the future.

If he came for himself, Zhang Ran could wait for him to make a move. Now, he could confidently say that no one could match him under Soul Formation. Even if it was a half-step Soul Formation, it would be unlikely to kill him.

"Seventh Prince, ask her if she wants to go with you. If she wants to, I won't say a word and let her go. I will even come to the Seventh Prince's Mansion with a divine beast-drawn carriage and the highest wedding ceremony to marry Qiushui, giving you conditions that you can't refuse to let her marry me," Zhang Ran confidently said, his hand around Li Qiushui's waist.

In Zhang Ran's embrace, Li Qiushui felt incredibly safe. This comfortable feeling was something she had never experienced before, so she couldn't possibly leave the Zhang family.

Avoiding his gaze, she said, "Dad, I'm not going back. I'm fine here."

"What did you say? Do you know that he has also married Yu Yan? How can he have any dignity?" The Seventh Prince took a step forward, and a tsunami-like aura swept over. Zhang Ran's body trembled, but he also emitted an equally powerful aura, blocking it.

The collision of the two invisible fluctuations caused the air to explode with a bang.

Fortunately, the hall was already covered by formations, otherwise the tables and chairs inside would have been destroyed.

Zhang Ran said indifferently, his calm gaze hiding a coldness, "Seventh Prince, what do you mean by saying that I married Yu Yan? May I ask what relationship you have with Yu Yan? What relationship does your daughter have with Yu Yan? We are a perfect match, both in talent and appearance. It's not your place to judge. You are just a loser in love, raging impotently here, neglecting your own wife and children, pretending to be affectionate towards a woman who has no interest in you. If you weren't Li Qiushui's father, I would teach you a lesson today."

Zhang Ran spoke straightforwardly, openly pointing out the Seventh Prince's sore spot, directly targeting his innermost thoughts.

Li Canghai's face turned pale, and his chest felt as if it was being blocked and crushed by rocks. What Zhang Ran said was all true, but he had been unwilling to admit it all these years.

No one dared to speak out against him, after all, he was a prince and also a half-step Soul Formation cultivator. Who would dare to talk about these matters?

Zhang Ran was the first to speak out in front of him, and in front of his daughter.

Seeing the Seventh Prince's dazed expression, Zhang Ran continued to criticize mercilessly, "As a father, you have repeatedly let your daughter fall into the abyss. With such great talent, wasted by you. You spend your days thinking about those peach blossoms, if you had let go earlier, you would have achieved Soul Formation long ago. Your wife has tried to kill Autumn Water multiple times, are you pretending to be ignorant and letting Autumn Water continue to suffer? Are you going to let those dying peach blossoms on that island torment you for the rest of your life?"

The Seventh Prince clenched his fist tightly, wanting to speak but hesitating.

Zhang Ran continued, every word like a precious gem, "If you could just relax, someone would at least look at you with respect, at the very least they would call you Fellow Daoist. So many people bury the good things in their hearts, so that when they meet again, they can face each other calmly. Your actions and mindset are not even as good as that of a child who has just entered the world of cultivation. I really doubt how you reached this level of cultivation with such a mindset."

Boom!!

Zhang Ran's words made the Seventh Prince's mind explode, but his obsession was too deep, how could it be broken by a few words from Zhang Ran?

Zhang Ran had just received a message from Yu Yan, she planned to come out and completely sever her ties with Li Canghai.

But Yu Yan was his Dao companion, and she was still in a critical period of cultivation.

How could he delay her cultivation for the sake of someone who didn't understand the situation?

"Autumn Water, are you leaving or not?" Li Canghai scolded again, he knew his own problem, but he was not willing to face it, after all, decades of obsession couldn't be let go of on the spot.

"Dad, I'm not leaving." Li Qiushui took the initiative to hold Zhang Ran's hand and leaned against him.

Zhang Ran's body seemed to bend like the sky, making it impossible for Li Canghai to cross over.

Li Canghai calmed down, an invisible pressure was accumulating, ready to strike at any moment.

Zhang Ran calmly looked at him.

Li Qiushui also didn't want her father to fight with Zhang Ran, after all, Li Canghai wasn't as crazy as Jun Yao, he was just momentarily angry.

"Dad, I'm really happy here, and I'm about to enter the Nascent Soul stage soon. After being with Zhang Ran, I've been really happy, I can also be with my senior sisters and junior sisters, and even the former...Peak Master. Dad, I'm really fine, you should face reality."

"Autumn Water, you..." Li Canghai couldn't find the words to say, nothing was more heartbreaking than his own daughter not acknowledging him.

He closed his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking, and only opened them after a while.

This once most handsome man in Daqian had aged a lot in an instant, sighing, "A woman's heart is unpredictable, Ninth Prince, you better not let her down."

During the confrontation just now, he also felt Zhang Ran's strength. Although his cultivation level was only in the early stage of Nascent Soul, he could actually stand on equal footing with him, a half-step Soul Formation cultivator. He was deeply shocked, was this really just a Nascent Soul cultivator who had passed the Triple Thunder Tribulation? It was said that even the legendary Divine Nascent Soul couldn't confront a half-step Soul Formation cultivator in the early stage of Nascent Soul.

If it weren't for Yu Yan, he could completely trust his daughter to this person.

"I will never let Autumn Water down," Zhang Ran said firmly.

The Seventh Prince took a deep look at Li Qiushui and then turned and left. He didn't know who he was referring to when he said "her" just now, whether it was Li Qiushui or Yu Yan.

Zhang Ran watched the flowing light in the distance and held Li Qiushui's hand, saying, "If your father can overcome this hurdle, the day of Soul Formation will not be far away."

"Yeah, my father used to have great talent, but after meeting Master Yu Yan, he never made any progress and even regressed in his cultivation. But my husband is amazing, just a few words and my father has become much clearer."
