Chapter 1381: Chapter 138 Yun Er "Reborn"_4
Looking at his daughter’s eyes filled with pain and despair, Xuan Ye felt an array of mixed emotions deep in his heart. Taking a deep breath to calm the turmoil within, he said, "Yue Yue, put the dagger down first. I won’t harm Ah Dai, alright?"
Xuan Yue sobbed, "Really? Are you truly willing to bless us?"
With a stern face, Xuan Ye said, "It’s too early to talk about blessing you. You’re still young, let’s discuss this matter later. I promise, I will allow Ah Dai and the others to return with us to the sanctuary; that should suffice, right?" Facing his daughter’s despair, though it was against his wishes, he reluctantly compromised. Xuan Yue and Nassar were the two most important people in his heart; how could he bear to see his own daughter like this?
Xuan Yue knew better than to pressure Xuan Ye at this moment. She slumped to the ground, sliding the dagger back into its sheath on her calf, her beautiful eyes regaining a glimmer of vitality as she murmured, "Daddy, thank you, daddy."
Xuan Ye sighed deeply, walked over to Xuan Yue, and helped his daughter up. His anger had subsided, and he cast a low-level healing spell to heal the bloody wound on Xuan Yue’s neck caused by the sharp dagger, exhaling, "Silly child, is that Ah Dai really worth all this? Don’t scare daddy like this again. You are daddy’s only daughter!"
As Xuan Yue met her father’s tender gaze, she was overwhelmed with grief and burst into loud tears in Xuan Ye’s embrace, as if to vent all the sorrow in her heart. Xuan Ye held his daughter, his heart in chaos. Although he disliked Ah Dai very much, at this moment, he could not prevent Xuan Yue from being with Ah Dai, and could only think of a solution for later.
In the treehouse, the most distressed was Ballon. His fists clenched tightly, his chest aflame with jealousy, as if trying to burst forth from within. Yue Yue actually attempted suicide for that foolish boy. Why? Why was Yue Yue so cold towards him, yet so good to that fool? He couldn’t accept it! He questioned himself, his love for Xuan Yue was surely not less, and in every aspect, he was better than Ah Dai. No matter what he thought, he couldn’t understand why Xuan Yue would choose Ah Dai; he hated, hated that Ah Dai who took Yue Yue away.
At this moment, Ballon and the Great Elf Envoy Audi returned together. As they entered, they were stunned to see Xuan Yue crying in Xuan Ye’s arms. Ballon shot his son an inquiring look but noticed Ballon’s body trembling slightly with anger and jealousy that even he found chilling.
Ballon said to Xuan Ye, "What’s happened between you and your daughter, crying your hearts out upon seeing each other? Since it’s all in the past, why dwell in such sorrow?" Although he knew that Xuan Yue’s crying was definitely not because of the sanctuary’s great loss, he still asked, eager to see how Xuan Ye would respond.
Xuan Ye patted his daughter on the shoulder, turned his head to Ballon, and said, "Is everything settled now? We’re fine. Brother Ballon, you go rest first. We’ll head back to the sanctuary early tomorrow morning."
Ballon nodded and reached out to pull his son, but Ballon remained still, his expression unchanged. Ballon frowned and transmitted a message, "Ballon, let’s go. We’ll talk outside." After saying that, he forcibly pulled his son out of the treehouse. Watching Ballon and his son depart, Xuan Ye sighed, "Yue Yue, stop crying, rest your mind for a while."
The Great Elf Envoy Audi said to Xuan Yue, "I’ve already arranged for Ah Dai and the others. They are resting by the lake. If you need anything, you can go to them directly." Having said this, he turned and left the Elven Ancient Tree to continue coordinating the search for the Dark alien races. He was also baffled by what these young people were thinking; it seemed they were more impulsive than when he pursued the Elf Queen all those years ago.
Xuan Yue lowered her head and sniffled, "Daddy, thank you." Feeling her father’s care, Xuan Yue’s heart was already much soothed.
Xuan Ye said, "You are my daughter; what is there to thank me for? Moreover, I haven’t agreed to your affair with Ah Dai; we’ll discuss everything once we’re back at the sanctuary. Right now, eradicating the Dark Forces is the priority." Having said that, he sat down next to Xuan Yue, crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and fell into a Meditation State.
Although Xuan Ye did not directly agree to her relationship with Ah Dai, Xuan Yue felt much more relaxed in her heart. After all, her father had softened. As long as she wasn’t separated from Ah Dai, she would eventually make her father accept him. With this thought, Xuan Yue’s sorrow evaporated, and she also sat cross-legged, entering the Meditation State.
In the Elven Ancient Tree Secret Room, the Elf Queen watched over her daughter, concern evident in her eyes. Xing Er, under her mother’s intense gaze, couldn’t help feeling a bit embarrassed and muttered, "Mommy."
The Elf Queen stroked her daughter’s light green hair, speaking softly, "Xing Er, you still remember the promise you made to mommy, right? Now that Ah Dai is here, you absolutely cannot harbor feelings for him. For the continuation of our people, and to avoid getting hurt yourself, please promise me, okay?"
Xing Er was greatly shaken. Although she only saw Ah Dai briefly today, her long-subdued heart was once again stirred. The Elf Queen’s words, like a bucket of cold water, quenched the impulse in her heart and brought her back to rationality. Yes, how could she be with Ah Dai? She was a descendant of the Elf King!
Seeing her daughter deep in thought, the Elf Queen said, "Xing Er, be a good girl; listen to mommy. It’s impossible between you and Ah Dai. You saw Sister Xuan Yue, right? She is the one meant to be with Ah Dai."
