Chapter 1941: Chapter 967: Betrothal Gifts (Liao Chen vs. Taoist Priest Qingfeng)
Xuanyuan Qi was so shocked that he spoke fluently.
The Dark Shadow Token, as a symbol of the Shadow Lord’s identity, has always been more valuable than life itself. With the Dark Shadow Token, the Shadow Division can be passed on indefinitely.
This is also why when Xuanyuan Qi was being pursued by Shi Tian, he had to first pass the Dark Shadow Token to the then eight-year-old Xuanyuan Zheng.
In Xuanyuan Qi’s mind, what else could it be if not a family heirloom?
Such a precious thing could never leave his side.
Taoist Priest Qingfeng also saw its importance, which is why he had Liao Chen leave it with him as collateral.
He wasn’t sure what happened, he just heard Liao Chen seemed to be in some trouble and came out to take a look.
Liao Chen must be killed, but no one else could touch him; he had to die by his hand.
Then he saw Xuanyuan Qi.
Xuanyuan Qi had already read the Dark Shadow Token. He was shocked, very, very shocked. He also wanted to know where on earth such a powerful Taoist priest came from to enchant his son’s soul.
He glanced upward.
Oh my!
It’s a male Taoist priest?!
Taoist Priest Qingfeng???
They once defended against enemies at the border pass together. Although they weren’t incredibly familiar with each other, they had at least crossed paths several times. How could he not recognize the brave Qingfeng, who fought side by side with his son?
He had even marveled at the young talents with Shangguan Yun.
His heart felt as if it had been electrocuted by one hundred thousand volts; he was left breathless.
He looked sorrowfully at his ungrateful son: “Is this what you meant, by passing on the family line for peace?”
Liao Chen was dumbfounded. No, Father, I’ve told you so much, how could you only remember this one sentence?
I said I don’t want to get married; I like living freely as a monk, wandering wherever I please!
Sigh.
Even jumping into the Yellow River couldn’t clear this up.
Xuanyuan Qi looked at Taoist Priest Qingfeng with a complex expression: “You two, when did you get together?”
From the father and son’s previous conversation, Taoist Priest Qingfeng only heard the part about the heirloom. After thinking about it, he said truthfully: “He kept avoiding me. I just found him. To prevent his escape, I had him leave the Dark Shadow Token with me. Since it’s a family heirloom, I’ll return it to the Grand Marshal.”
Xuanyuan Qi wasn’t in a hurry to take back the Dark Shadow Token. Instead, he turned and glared fiercely at his son, gritting his teeth and whispering: “You’re still avoiding him?”
Scumbag!
Taoist Priest Qingfeng didn’t understand the blunder between the father and son. He earnestly said: “Grand Marshal, there is a personal grudge between him and me. Since I’ve been caught by you today, I might as well be honest. I am determined to take his life.”
Xuanyuan Qi was dumbstruck. Could it be that his daughter-in-law truly loved and hated deeply?
No, no, no!
What daughter-in-law?
He’s a man!
Taoist Priest Qingfeng continued: “I chased him all the way from Yan Country to Zhan Country, and then from Zhan Country to here. It was hard to catch him. Even if the Grand Marshal intervenes, I have no choice but to offend you.”
Chased to Zhan Country…
Could it be that Qingqing’s claim of his daughter-in-law being Taoist Priest Qingfeng is true?
Truly confirmed?!
Xuanyuan Qi felt as though his chest had been hit by ten thousand arrows, making him stagger and nearly fall to the ground!
Just when he didn’t know what to do with this “young couple,” the sound of Xiao Yang crying came from inside the house.
——You’re so slow, the baby is hungry!
Xuanyuan Qi remembered that his son had said they had a child. Trembling, he looked at the two of them, and with an indescribable expression, he asked the soul-searching question: “…who of you two gave birth?”
Liao Chen: “…”
Taoist Priest Qingfeng: “…”
…
Xuanyuan Qi had followed the Shadow Lord for many years, and his familiarity with the first aid kit was much deeper than Liao Chen’s, so he recognized it at a glance.
Then, seeing the twin dragon and phoenix versions of Little Jiaojiao and Little Ahen, he more or less understood their identities.
Upon hearing that they had fallen from the sky with this box, his suspicion was further confirmed.
He told the two of them: “I will take the children back. This matter, you keep it to yourselves and don’t ask about anything else.”
“I have no objections,” Liao Chen said, glancing at Taoist Priest Qingfeng.
Taoist Priest Qingfeng replied: “I obey the Grand Marshal’s command.”
Xuanyuan Qi hired a carriage, took the dragon and phoenix twins, and brought the first aid kit with him.
“I’m leaving,” he said.
Liao Chen seized the chance to slip away: “Father, I’ll go back with you.”
Xuanyuan Qi kicked his son off gently, then rode away in the carriage!
Liao Chen, left in Taoist Priest Qingfeng’s hands: “…”
