Chapter 1687 - 1690: The School Beauty's Father Accepts His Son-in-Law

The darkness of the night sky and the bright lights turned the large office's glass windows into mirrors. Qin Yurou, the stunning school beauty who rarely spoke to her father, couldn't help but feel a bit anxious. In fact, the moment she found out Zong Zijin had escaped and gone missing, she immediately thought of Shen Qiang.And she was very sure that this was all done by this domineering man she loved deeply.

Because she understood Shen Qiang. She knew that if it was a matter concerning only Shen Qiang, then he might tolerate a bit of grievance or endure it. But since Zong Zijin wanted revenge against Abi and herself, there was no way Shen Qiang would continue to tolerate it with his temperament.

Moreover, she clearly remembered a moment when Shen Qiang looked at Zong Zijin with the gaze of looking at a dead man.

It's just that at the time, she didn't take it to heart or think much about it.

But now, all the disciples in Medicine King Valley were talking about it, and almost everyone believed that the Valley Master would definitely send someone to take revenge on Shen Qiang immediately. So sitting in her boudoir, trying to play dumb, Qin Yurou couldn't sit still.

Because regarding Zong Zijin's disappearance, she had the most say, but her father never approached her for any information, which made her extremely uneasy, as it already meant that the Valley Master had made up his mind and no longer needed her insights and suggestions.

"Father." Qin Yurou, dressed simply and elegantly, entered the office, smiling as she greeted her father.

The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley looked at Qin Yurou with gentle eyes. After a two or three-second silence, he smiled and said, "Sit down, no need to be so formal. I can't even remember how long it's been since you last came here."

"Three years, four months, and eleven days." Qin Yurou sat gracefully on the sofa, accurately recounting the time.

The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley chuckled: "How time flies, you've become a grown woman. I feel perhaps you now understand that when I said 'it's a pity you're not a boy,' it wasn't a denial of your entire being."

With a slightly colder gaze, Qin Yurou remained silent, taking a deep breath to calm her obviously angry mood. She reminded herself: remember, you came here for Shen Qiang, don't argue with him, must not argue, don't let Shen Qiang become an enemy of Medicine King Valley.

"Actually, I'm here about Zong Zijin." Qin Yurou smiled.

The Valley Master smiled, looked seriously at Qin Yurou, and said, "Do you know? On the day you were born, I prayed to the Grand Master, wishing that if you were a girl, you would inherit your mother's beauty."

"The Grand Master promised me." The Valley Master raised an eyebrow: "Later I found you becoming more and more like your mother and not at all like me, so I prayed with jealousy to the Grand Master, asking for some resemblance to me, and thus, you learned to lie, conceal your feelings, and control your emotions, thinking rationally."

Seeing the astonishment in Qin Yurou's eyes, the Valley Master laughed and said, "So just say it directly. I know you're here to test the waters and have something to ask because from childhood to now, you've always come here to do one thing, and that is to find ways to obtain and protect what you love, nothing more."

Qin Yurou was silent. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "I want to know the details of Senior Brother Zong Zijin's disappearance."

The Valley Master laughed lightly: "I remember after your third sister disappeared, you never called him Senior Brother, and now you do, I think you've already guessed that he's dead."

Qin Yurou was shocked.

The Valley Master smiled, gazing at the mirror-like glass where Qin Yurou, in her white dress, appeared elegant and otherworldly, as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, and said, "You've grown up, so much like your mother. If it were her, she'd certainly come to persuade me not to send people to kill Shen Qiang based on mere speculation."

Qin Yurou was stunned.

Turning around, the Valley Master chuckled and said, "So let's not beat around the bush. If you want to know how I'll handle Zong Zijin's matters, including what I'll do about Shen Qiang, then talk to me about him. Just tell me what kind of person he is in your heart."

Hearing this, Qin Yurou hesitated, feeling tense, because she hadn't expected her father to see through her right after arriving.

"Well, I..."

The Valley Master smiled: "It's okay, just talk freely, you're not a little girl anymore, you should start finding a boyfriend. I went through this as well, as an adult, don't be too shy."

"Besides, you're my daughter. If you really like him, I think I might consider forgoing revenge for your sake."

Hearing this, Qin Yurou felt tense and awkwardly glanced around, hesitating, "Well, uh, Shen Qiang is really nice, I do like him."

The Valley Master chuckled.

"Alright, perhaps your description is quite accurate, but such vocabulary doesn't precisely define what kind of person he is, so let's start with his flaws, hmm... the worst side of him."

Qin Yurou paused, "Shen Qiang is a good person."

The Valley Master laughed, "Goodness defines his potential heights in life, while wickedness defines his bottom lines. So I think, if you truly like him, look at his flaws first. If you can accept them, then everything is fine; if not, having numerous strengths is meaningless."

Hearing this, the stunning Qin Yurou suddenly smiled.

"His biggest flaw should be being overbearing; he often doesn't discuss many things with me."

The Valley Master chuckled, "That doesn't count. Men, when facing difficulties, should withstand them on their own. What's the use of talking to a woman? It doesn't solve the problem, but instead burdens you with worries."

"Then nothing else," Qin Yurou said with bright eyes.

The Valley Master sighed, "How could there be nothing? He's greedy, lustful, poisons people, steals treasures from Baihua Palace, deceived that young girl from Qingyun Sword Pavilion and the Qingyun Sword, and even set up a Qingyun Sword Hall in Heshenghe. Tsk Tsk, such acts are nothing short of heinous, can't you see?"

Qin Yurou was stunned, then frowned, "Dad, why can't you see it clearly? Zong Zijin's a hypocrite, always pretending to be polite, while Shen Qiang is a real man. Who doesn't love money in this world?"

"As for lust, what young man doesn't have desires? Poisoning was done with measured discretion, and there were reasons for the theft at Baihua Palace. Haven't you always said that all's fair in war and that the victor stands tall? How can those be flaws?"

The Valley Master chuckled, "Are you really sure you can accept everything about Shen Qiang? Won't you leave him because of any of these issues?"

Qin Yurou anxiously replied, "Of course not."

The Valley Master smiled, calmly saying, "Alright then, if you feel this way, then I'll accept Shen Qiang as my son-in-law."
