This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 105: Are You Really His Biological Father?

Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Are You Really His Biological Father?

"Liang Brother, I didn’t expect to meet you here." After some thought, Liang Yi decided to go down and greet him.

Liang Yuan was exhausted, slumped on the Floating Cloud Platform, bewilderedly watching the young man who forced Ying Tianxing to an embarrassing retreat from the sword slowly descend from the sky and stand not far from him.

"Who are you?"

The referees from the Complete Heaven Sect on the Floating Cloud Platform were originally preparing to take Liang Yuan back to the palace to rest, but seeing Liang Yi’s action, they tactfully moved further away.

Liang Yi stretched out his hand and wiped his face, transforming back into Yi Liang’s visage.

"Wow, it’s Brother Yi Liang! How come you’re here?" Liang Yuan shouted in surprise, even forgetting the severe pain in his body.

"Well, I’ve never seen the Sect’s grand tournament before, suddenly wanted to check it out, so I came." Liang Yi pushed Liang Yuan, who was trying to get up, back down, and then sat down beside him on the ground.

Liang Yuan didn’t insist, merely continued to lie back on the cloud, lifting his head comfortably to look at the azure sky. The sky was so pure that it made him feel a long-lost tranquility.

"I should have thought of it, Brother Yi Liang’s extraordinary temperament, how could he just be from an ordinary sect?" Liang Yuan laughed at himself. He was attracted to Yi Liang’s unique aura when they first spoke at the entrance to Qingliang City, not even realizing this simple fact.

"’With so many people and eyes around at that time, my junior sister and I have enemies. Having no choice but to change my appearance, I ask for Liang Brother’s forgiveness.’" Liang Yi stretched out his hand and wiped again, reverting back to his original appearance, eliciting an astonished admiration from Liang Yuan.

"Having enemies is normal. Although all of us Cultivators yearn for longevity and treasure life dearly, after a hundred years of cultivation, it’s not about becoming a shrinking tortoise. We repay kindness with kindness and seek revenge for wrongs, relishing the joys of gratitude and revenge." Liang Yuan nodded, understanding, yet for some reason his words were somewhat impassioned.

"Haha, Brother Liang really is a delightful person, seeing things so clearly."

"What a pity there’s no wine! Otherwise, with Brother Liang’s statement, it would be worth a great toast!"

Liang Yi felt a bit of regret but also surprised, as the stout Liang Yuan could actually say such insightful words.

"What clarity? It’s just life pressing the facts in front of my eyes to see clearly," Liang Yuan said, closing his eyes and gesturing dismissively.

Liang Yi looked towards Liang Yuan but couldn’t make out his expression.

"I also encountered Brother Liang by chance this time. I’ll take this opportunity to wish Brother Liang victory in advance, and then treat you to a meal!" Seeing that Liang Yuan was somewhat fatigued, Liang Yi didn’t chat further and stood up to take his leave.

"If I really win the championship, then it’s my turn to treat you to the best meal," Liang Yuan said, opening his eyes in jest.

"Oh? Then I don’t want the best, just the most expensive."

"Deal! A gentleman’s word, fast as a steed!" Liang Yuan heartily agreed.

"If that’s the case, then I won’t disturb Brother Liang’s healing. I still have things to do, need to take a walk elsewhere." Liang Yi waved to the referee not far off, signaling him to come take Liang Yuan back for healing, then turned and left.

Liang Yi certainly didn’t forget what he came for, and bumping into Liang Yuan was entirely accidental, not to mention the clash with Ying Tianxing was an accident on top of an accident.

But Ying Tianxing’s old man is quite nice, after beating up his son like that, he still lets me wander leisurely around the Secret Realm.

The Cangyun Secret Realm was unbelievably vast. Even with tens of thousands of Cloud Platforms floating in the air, it still seemed immensely spacious, previously qualifying at least as a medium-sized Secret Realm.

Liang Yi turned to the left and looked to the right, as he flew past numerous sparring matches, but he didn’t detect anything amiss. He began to wonder if the Devouring Spirit Sect hadn’t come at all, or if his own Realm was too low to recognize the clues even if they hit him in the face.

After making a big round and inadvertently stirring up countless female Cultivators’ enthusiasm for battle, a frustrated Liang Yi returned to the palace without any results.

"It doesn’t make sense, the supervision of the competition is only going to get stricter. If the Devouring Spirit Sect doesn’t act now, the difficulty of their actions will only increase later on." Liang Yi pondered hard for a long while but couldn’t figure out what the Devouring Spirit Sect was planning. He could only take things one step at a time and react to whatever came his way.

"Is Young Hero Liang troubled by something?"

Ying Tianxing’s father appeared behind Liang Yi at some point, startling him into shivering.

Liang Yi turned around and looked; Ying Xi still wore a warm expression, showing no anger at all for Liang Yi having beaten his son into a pig-headed look.

"Is he seriously this laissez-faire as a father?" Liang Yi didn’t understand what Ying Xi was thinking. Not only was Ying Xi not coming after him for trouble, but he also seemed like he wanted to have a chat with Liang Yi.

Could it be that he was so handsome that Ying Xi wanted to take him as an adopted son to raise the aesthetic standard of the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty?

"Young Hero Liang doesn’t have to be so nervous. I mean no harm. Tianxing has already told me that it was his own lack of strength this time and that he will get even with you next time he sees you."

"So, Young Hero Liang need not worry about me making a move. In fact, I’m grateful that you helped Tianxing realize the gap between himself and the truly top-notch talents, giving him a target to chase."

Ying Xi spoke at length, truly sounding like a kind and caring father worried about his son. Liang Yi looked at the empathetic Ying Xi and then thought about his son, who was a master Yin-Yang practitioner. Didn’t they say ’like father, like son,’ and ’the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree’ and all that?

How then did he end up with such a specimen? Baffling.

"I never expected Lord Ying to be so understanding and reasonable; it truly surpasses my expectations." Liang Yi said with genuine admiration as he clasped his hands towards Ying Xi.

"A fledgling eagle that has not experienced the storm will eventually remain a fledgling eagle. I just want Tianxing to have some goals for progress, to be able to surpass me in the future." Ying Xi stroked his handsome beard and spoke cheerily.

Liang Yi was completely out of arguments. For Ying Tianxing to have such a father truly signified his fortunate karma cultivated over three lifetimes—impressive!

"Was Young Hero Liang looking for someone just now?"

"Oh, I was here to see an old friend. But I saw he was beaten quite badly, so I’m worried that he might struggle to advance to the next round, hence my concern." Liang Yi spoke the lie without a change in expression, as if he genuinely came to see Liang Yuan and was ready to leave after meeting him.

"I see. If it were any other matter within my ability, I would offer my help, but unfortunately, in this situation, there is nothing I can do. Your friend will have to rely on his own efforts." Ying Xi sighed helplessly, regretting the missed opportunity to do a favor.

"No worries! No worries! Just let him strive on his own; perhaps Lord Ying can simply ensure that he’s not beaten to death on the spot." After a moment’s thought, Liang Yi still decided to add another layer of protection for Liang Yuan. The grand competition of the sects was not without casualties.

On his way here, he had seen a group of defeated Cultivators with long faces, but what he didn’t see was that they had already been dealt with by the Shadow Guards. So, considering Liang Yuan’s hard-fought battle to advance, it seemed best to entrust Lord Ying to keep an eye on him.

"Such a trivial matter is naturally no problem," Ying Xi readily agreed.

"If that is the case, I have some other matters to attend to, so I won’t remain here and accompany Lord Ying any longer." Liang Yi politely bid Ying Xi farewell with an apologetic tone.
