Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All



Dong Xi hurriedly grabbed a maid and said, "Is there something good in the mansion today?"

The maid recognized Dong Xi. She immediately bowed and said, "Young Master, you just came back. I think you don't know that Miss has already entered the Dao."

Dong Xi was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and said, "So fast? I have to hurry and congratulate Madam."

No wonder everyone was so happy today. Shangguan Yun'er would not die so quickly after stepping into the Dao, and these people's lives would be guaranteed.

Dong Xi had just entered Shangguan Yun'er's room when she found Shangguan Patriarch there.

"Madam, you've already stepped into the Dao?" Dong Xi asked with a smile.

Shangguan Yun'er nodded, not daring to look at Dong Xi.

Dong Xi flicked her wrist and handed the sunflower that she had prepared earlier to Shangguan Yun'er.

"A fresh flower matched with a beauty, Madam is really amazing!" said Dong Xi.

Shangguan Yun'er took the flowers and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Husband."

"It's Madam's talent that's good. All I did was say a few words," Dong Xi said with a smile.

As soon as Dong Xi finished speaking, Shangguan Patriarch snorted coldly and said, "Dong Li, I heard from the servant girl that you're not in your room every night? I kindly entrusted my daughter to you, and you treat her like this?"

Dong Xi, "..."

He still needed a proper reason to quibble.

Without waiting for Dong Xi to say anything, Shangguan Yun'er said, "Father, don't be angry. It's my fault because I didn't… let him come in."

Shangguan Patriarch looked at Shangguan Yun'er and said gently, "Yun'er, what do you think? If you didn't agree, I would have changed your husband. But you clearly agreed, so why didn't you let him in?"

At this point, Shangguan Patriarch frowned and continued, "Yun'er, tell Father the truth. Are you lying for him?"

Shangguan Yun'er shook her head. Dong Xi stood up and said, "Father-In-Law, if you say this, it will really be unfair to me and Yun'er. Some time ago, Yun'er's body was weak and I was really worried. I can only search everywhere to see if there is a way to cure Yun'er."

When Dong Xi said this, Shangguan Patriarch also realized that it was all because of Dong Xi that Shangguan Yun'er was able to survive this tribulation.

It was all thanks to Dong Xi that her daughter was able to enter the Dao and cultivate.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Patriarch looked at Dong Xi with a much gentler expression.

"Forget it," Shangguan Patriarch said. "Everything is fine now. You guys should hurry up and get a child."

Dong Xi was speechless.

He did not expect that Dong Xi would be facing the pain of being born at such a young age in the cultivation world.

Dong Xi casually agreed, and the two of them started to talk about the invitation quota.

"When I get the quota, you must take good care of Yun'er when you reach the Secret Realm," said the Shangguan Patriarch.

Dong Xi was stunned. He had never thought that Shangguan Patriarch would dare to make such a crazy decision.

Dong Xi said, "Father-In-Law, Yun'er's health isn't good. She has just stepped into the Dao. She's not even at the first level of the Qi Refinement stage yet. Isn't it too dangerous to follow her to the Secret Realm?"

Shangguan Patriarch looked at Dong Xi with admiration and a smile in his eyes. He said, "It's okay. You're there to protect her, aren't you? As long as you carefully protect Yun'er, nothing will happen to her."

Shangguan Patriarch naturally had his own thoughts as well. The Secret Realm only opened once every 200 years. If he waited for the next time, he did not know what cultivation level Yun'er would reach.

It was better to take a gamble now. Yun'er still had all kinds of magic tools that Shangguan Patriarch had prepared. If she could gain something in the Secret Realm, her future cultivation would be much easier.

When Dong Xi heard Shangguan Patriarch's words, she was instantly stunned.

Did Shangguan Patriarch trust Dong Xi too much?

Dong Xi could not even guarantee that she would be able to do it in the Secret Realm, yet she still had to protect a cultivator who was no different from a mortal?

"Father-In-Law, I'm not afraid of the unexpected. I'm just afraid… What if..." Dong Xi said.

Dong Xi wanted to continue the discussion, but before he could finish, Shangguan Patriarch interrupted him. Shangguan Patriarch said, "There's no what if! You and Yun'er must come back in one piece."

Dong Xi did not say anything else, but she had an idea in her heart.

The two spots would definitely cost a lot of spirit stones. At that time, Dong Xi would just help Shangguan Yun'er hire a few more bodyguards.

Shangguan Yun'er saw Dong Xi's frown and also felt that it was inappropriate to follow her into the Secret Realm.

For so many years, Shangguan Yun'er had been his father's burden. Now, he had to drag someone down?

"Father…" Shangguan Yun'er said.

Before Shangguan Yun'er could say anything, Shangguan Patriarch said, "Don't say anything."

Seeing Shangguan Yun'er shut up obediently, Shangguan Patriarch looked at Dong Xi again. Shangguan Patriarch said, "Virtuous Son-In-Law, do you agree to what I said today?"
