Chapter 24: Fengyun Youruo 4

Xiong Ba, who was in the room, came to Youruo after the two of them left and took a look at Youruo, who seemed a little guilty. He was both happy and angry.

He was happy that she was standing in front of him safely, but he was angry that she secretly ran away from the lakeside cottage.

Xiongba knew that Youruo couldn't stand being locked up in the small building in the middle of the lake, so she tried to escape.

But whenever he thought that she might run into an assassin sent by the Tianxia Society, he couldn't help but scold her: "How could you sneak out of the lakeside cottage? What would Dad do if something happened to you?"

Youruo felt so aggrieved when she heard his scolding that tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

"Would you care if something happened to me? You locked me up in the lakeside cottage for more than ten years. I thought you had forgotten about me as your daughter! I don't look like your daughter at all. I think I'm more like a prisoner!"

"Youruo, why do you think so? I locked you up in the lakeside cottage for your safety!"

"I don't want this kind of security that is exchanged for freedom! I won't go back no matter what. If you want to lock me up again, I would rather die!"

It was only a matter of time. When Youruo remembered that her end was death under Bu Jingyun's sword, she felt a little panic. Since they were all going to die, she might as well do it herself. She became more and more excited and raised her hand to her head to threaten Xiongba.

Xiong Ba quickly grabbed her hand with a look of grief on his face.

"You Ruo, you really disappoint your father. You even threatened me with your own safety! I am doing this for your own good. I don't want you to get hurt!"

Youruo was not moved by his words and sneered when she heard his high-sounding words.

"Oh, I'm already eighteen, not eight, and I have my own thoughts. I don't want to be trapped in a small space like a prisoner. If you really want to do good for me, then give me my freedom. If you still want to lock me up in the lakeside cottage, then don't stop me and let me die. Anyway, you don't care whether I live or die!"

Youruo looked at him with disappointment, tears as big as beans streaming down her face.

Xiongba saw her somewhat desperate eyes, let go of Youruo's hand with heartache, and took a step back involuntarily.

The father and daughter looked at each other in silence.

The only sound in the silent hall was Youruo's sobbing.

Qin Shuang and Wen Chouchou, who faintly heard the quarrel between father and daughter outside the house, remained silent.

After a long while, Xiongba sighed and returned to his seat. He looked down at Youruo, who had a stubborn look on her face and had not changed her mind at all, and said, "You are right. You are already grown up and have your own thoughts. I will not send you back to the lakeside cottage. You are free, Youruo~"

Youruo looked up at Xiongba in disbelief.

Xiong Ba looked at her seriously and added, "But you need to hide your identity from now on. I can't be by your side all the time to protect your safety. If you are caught by others..."

"I know what to do. Even if I die, I will never let anyone threaten you with me!" Youruo understood his unfinished intention and assured him.

When Xiongba heard Youruo's assurance, the words he hadn't said suddenly choked up. He wanted to say that no one must find out that she was Xiongba's daughter. If others didn't know her identity, she might still have a glimmer of hope.

Who knew Youruo had such a deep misunderstanding of him? He sighed deeply, without any intention of explaining. He shouted loudly to the outside: "Chouchou, watch outside, don't let anyone get close. Shuang'er, come in!"

Wen Chouchou, who was outside the house, heard Xiongba's call and hurriedly opened the door to let Qin Shuang in.

Qin Shuang walked into the hall respectfully.

Xiongba looked down at his eldest disciple Qin Shuang and introduced Youruo to him.

"Shuang'er, you should have heard everything outside. This is my daughter Youruo. But from now on, she will be your subordinate. I hope you can help me take good care of her. I trust you the most among the three disciples, so I will entrust Youruo to you~"

Qin Shuang was somewhat flattered by these words. He clenched his fists and replied respectfully, "Yes, Master. I will definitely take good care of the young lady."

Qin Shuang tilted his head slightly while speaking, and happened to meet Youruo's eyes as she looked at him with red eyes.

"Master Shuang, please give me more guidance in the future!" Youruo clenched her fists, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and she stared at Qin Shuang intently.

It was you who brought me back. I will settle this account with you!

Qin Shuang saw her intention from her eyes and felt a little distressed.

"Okay, you all know each other now. Shuang'er, take Youruo downstairs~"

Xiongba waved his hand and asked the two to leave.

Youruo left the hall with light steps.

He followed Qin Shuang happily all the way to Tianshuang Hall.

Qin Shuang had already asked someone to clean up the guest room next to the bedroom to accommodate Youruo.

Youruo went in and took a look around. The space was quite large and looked pretty good.

But the most important thing is that she will never be trapped in the lakeside cottage again. She yawned slightly with satisfaction.

Just as she closed the door and prepared to rest, she saw Qin Shuang still standing at her door.

"Why are you still here?" Youruo frowned and looked at him in confusion.

Qin Shuang replied: "I want to ask if there is anything you are not satisfied with? I will have someone change it tomorrow."

"I'm not dissatisfied. That's good! Is there anything else?" Youruo said quickly.

"No more." Qin Shuang said.

"Oh!" Seeing that he had nothing else to do, Youruo closed the door without any hesitation.

Qin Shuang touched her nose which was almost hit by the door and took a step back, thinking that she seemed to be taken out on. What a willful eldest daughter's temper!

However, compared with the unfathomable Xiongba, Youruo's personality is already considered very good.

After living in Tianshuang Hall, Youruo looked for opportunities to embarrass him at first, but Qin Shuang always let her tease him with a good temper. After a few times, Youruo was too embarrassed to tease him again. After all, it was Qin Shuang who saved her before.

Originally, Youruo was the one who made things difficult for Qin Shuang unilaterally. After she gave up, the two of them got along much more harmoniously.

Afterwards, Youruo suggested that Qin Shuang hone her swordsmanship, and Qin Shuang readily agreed.

In the days that followed, Qin Shuang would always compete with Youruo when he had nothing to do.

Qin Shuang discovered that Youruo had learned a lot of different things, and the only thing she could be said to be proficient in was swordsmanship.

Therefore, he suggested that Youruo should not be distracted and concentrate on practicing swordsmanship.

With Qin Shuang's reminder, Youruo understood that a person's energy is limited, and one should not disperse his energy in too many places. Only by concentrating on one martial art can better results be achieved.

Just like Qin Shuang, who made a great name for himself in the martial arts world with just his Tianshuang Fist.

That day, after the two of them practiced sparring, Youruo and Qin Shuang sat opposite each other at the table to rest.

Then a servant came hurriedly and respectfully clasped his fists and said, "Master Shuang, Master Feng has returned from Wushuang City. The leader asked me to come and call you to the main hall to discuss matters!"

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Qin Shuang immediately stood up and rushed to the main hall.
