Liu Erlong, hearing Zhao Ling's words, also looked at Yu Loumian with a puzzled expression and asked.
"Yeah, Father, we haven't seen each other in five years. How did you end up so down on your luck, selling malt candy on this street???"
Yu Loumian was momentarily speechless. He thought for a moment before roaring furiously.
"Isn't it because you left home and didn't come back for five whole years? Do you know how worried your father was about you?
Your father recently heard about a woman highly similar to you frequently appearing at this manor, so I came to try my luck. I didn't expect it to actually be you!"
"Heh heh..." Liu Erlong chuckled lightly, her tone questioning.
"Father, do you think I'd believe that? I'm just your illegitimate daughter. My mother and I are nothing more than expendable presences to you. Would you deliberately come here to find me?"
Yu Loumian hadn't expected his daughter to so unhesitatingly tear him down. He also knew his daughter was venting her dissatisfaction with him.
It was understandable. His daughter and her mother had indeed always been expendable to him.
Not only did he not allow her mother to return to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but his daughter also didn't return, always existing as an illegitimate daughter.
Therefore, it was only natural for his daughter to harbor resentment. He was silent for a moment before Yu Loumian continued.
"Daughter, for the past five years, your father truly was very worried about you. Worried that you would be bullied by others, that you would be deceived by men.
You are my daughter, after all. How could I not worry about you..."
Yu Loumian raised a finger, pointing at Zhao Ling, and earnestly said to Liu Erlong.
"Daughter, this Zhao Ling is too cunning and extremely malicious. I can tell you with certainty that he is keeping you by his side purely to deal with me, to deal with the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Daughter, do you know that your eldest cousin was beaten into an idiot by this Zhao Ling, and he also tormented your second cousin horribly? You absolutely must not be..."
Yu Loumian's supposedly earnest persuasion was clearly unacceptable to Liu Erlong.
Perhaps her husband was indeed a beast, always thinking of ways to bully her, but he was truly very good to her and loved her very much.
How, in her father's eyes, did he become a cunning and malicious villain?
As for the matter of her eldest and second cousins being severely "dealt with" by her husband, wasn't that their own fault?
Those two cousins had bullied her husband, and her husband wasn't allowed to retaliate?
Could it be that only members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could bully others, and others weren't allowed to resist?
She sneered before sharply retorting to Yu Loumian.
"Enough, Father! I'm doing very well now. I have someone I love, and someone who loves me.
By my husband's side, I'm not alone. I don't have to stay by myself in a home that's only for me. Do you understand?"
Liu Erlong finished speaking, then tiptoed and gently kissed Zhao Ling's cheek before continuing.
"I'm very happy and joyful every day with my husband now. I'll pursue my own happiness and control it myself. I don't need your hypocritical concern.
I hope you won't come again in the future. If possible, let's just sever this father-daughter relationship..."
After Liu Erlong finished speaking, she said to Zhao Ling.
"Husband, give him 100 gold spirit coins, even though a load of malt candy is definitely not worth 100 gold spirit coins.
"But after all, he raised me until now, so let those 100 gold spirit coins be the bride price for marrying me, okay?"
"Mm... No problem."
Seeing Liu Erlong say this, Zhao Ling waved his hand and put the load of malt candy into his storage space, then threw a bag of gold spirit coins at Yu Loumian's feet.
Immediately, Zhao Ling put his arm around Liu Erlong's slender waist and walked into the manor, leaving Yu Loumian dumbfounded.
Originally, Zhao Ling had intended to follow Liu Erlong to meet this future father-in-law. But now, Liu Erlong had actually personally declared her intention to sever ties with Yu Loumian.
If this relationship truly broke, Zhao Ling would clearly be delighted.
After all, with Yu Loumian's loyalty to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, it wouldn't be easy to pry him away from them.
Of course, nothing was absolute. Zhao Ling remembered that in the comic version of Douluo Dalu, Yu Loumian would betray the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for his own benefit and join Spirit Hall.
If the Douluo Dalu Zhao Ling had transmigrated into was the world of the comic version, perhaps getting Yu Loumian to work for him wouldn't be too difficult.
However, Zhao Ling was certain that he had transmigrated into the original novel, only many things had been changed due to his arrival, making many future events difficult for him to predict.
Just like now, Liu Erlong had actually personally expressed her desire to sever ties with Yu Loumian.
In the original work, she wasn't so emotional. Even when her marriage to Yu Xiaogang was disrupted by her father, she didn't say she wanted to sever their father-daughter relationship.
It seemed that for her, Zhao Ling's importance far surpassed that of her so-called clan, and even her irresponsible father.
Zhao Ling tightened his arm around Liu Erlong's slender waist slightly, then lowered his head and kissed her forehead as a reward.
Meanwhile, Yu Loumian stared blankly as the gate to Zhao Ling's manor slowly closed. He finally realized that perhaps his relationship with his daughter truly couldn't be mended.
His daughter's resolute expression just now held no hint of jest. Perhaps he truly wasn't fit to be her father.
From childhood to adulthood, he hadn't fulfilled his responsibilities as a father. Now that his daughter had found her own happiness, he could only wish her well.
Finally, Yu Loumian left Heaven Dou Imperial City and headed to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's newest headquarters.
The new location of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was in a small village nestled among mountains, three hundred li east of Heaven Dou Imperial City. This was the result of Yu Yuanzhen personally discussing it with the contemporary Clear Sky Sect Master.
In the eyes of Yu Yuanzhen and the contemporary Clear Sky Sect Master, such an extremely remote place as the new headquarters for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would surely be impossible for those three strange giant birds to find, right???
This place was originally prepared by the Clear Sky Sect for their own sect, fearing that if something were to happen one day, they could retreat to this remote little village and quietly develop.
Now that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been dealt with so miserably, even their main base was bombed into ruins, so this place was temporarily given to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for temporary residence.
Of course, if that day truly came when their sect suffered a misfortune, their Clear Sky Sect could still retreat to this place. After all, this small village was actually large enough for two clans to survive.
Perhaps at that time, their Clear Sky Sect could even take the opportunity to annex the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. If they succeeded in annexing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, they would make a huge profit...
