Generally, parents care deeply for their children.
But recalling Teng Snake’s earlier attitude towards Bai Suzhen, the Lady of Mount Li thought perhaps Teng Snake might be an exception.
At least from Teng Snake’s behavior, there wasn’t a hint of affection towards Bai Suzhen.
Since entrusting Bai Suzhen to her, he hadn’t inquired much in thousands of years.
The Lady of Mount Li’s thoughts raced, and this time, she didn’t comply with Teng Snake’s words.
With a deep voice, she said, “Xiaobai’s matters of the heart are her own business.
We shouldn’t interfere as long as it’s whom she loves, even if it’s a mortal, I will support her.”
After speaking, the Lady of Mount Li secretly observed Teng Snake’s expression.
Indeed, she noticed something was amiss.
Teng Snake’s face was somewhat unsightly, but he quickly covered it up.
He said calmly, “Xiaobai is your disciple; naturally, your words carry weight.”
Unexpectedly, he didn’t object, which surprised the Lady of Mount Li even more.
However, in her heart, a sense of vigilance arose.
There’s always something strange going on.
Teng Snake’s sudden change in attitude was certainly problematic.
Indeed, the Lady of Mount Li heard Teng Snake say, “I have some matters at home that need Xiaobai’s help to complete.
Please allow me to take Xiaobai back for a few days, then I will let her return herself.”
Indeed, Teng Snake was waiting for the Lady of Mount Li here.
At this time, there was no way the Lady of Mount Li would truly let Xiaobai go.
She knew that if Bai Suzhen left with Teng Snake, something bad would certainly happen.
She would never allow such a thing to happen.
So, the Lady of Mount Li gave a faint smile and said calmly, “I’m afraid not.
I also have some matters for Xiaobai to handle here.
After they’re done, then she can return.”
Instantly, the killing intent in Teng Snake’s eyes burst forth.
His gaze fell on the Lady of Mount Li, and he said coldly, “This is a matter between father and daughter.
I don’t wish to involve others.
I ask you, fellow Taoist, not to meddle.”
Hearing Teng Snake’s words, the Lady of Mount Li was even more certain of his intentions.
She gave a faint smile and said, “Lord Teng Snake, you’ve misspoken.
I am Xiaobai’s mentor.
Anything concerning her is connected to me.
What do you mean don’t involve me or meddle?
Perhaps you’ve forgotten my connection with Xiaobai?”
Teng Snake sighed and remarked, “You are intelligent.
Why do you insist on opposing me?”
“Don’t you have parental love?
Of course, you don’t.
To harbor killing intent towards your own daughter, you are truly heartless.”
Since things were out in the open, the Lady of Mount Li was no longer polite.
At this time, she even found it somewhat laughable.
To protect Teng Snake’s daughter, she stood against Teng Snake himself, and the two might even engage in a fierce battle.
Nonetheless, the Lady of Mount Li had no regrets.
Just as she said, everyone has parental love.
She was no different.
Bai Suzhen was her disciple, and she must protect Bai Suzhen.
Even if the one wanting to harm Bai Suzhen was, in fact, her father.
The two stared at each other, each seeing the fire in the other’s eyes.
At this moment, Teng Snake suddenly made his move.
Without any warning and when the Lady of Mount Li least expected it, he struck her chest with a palm.
She coughed up a mouthful of blood and was thrown back.
As this happened, Teng Snake grabbed Bai Suzhen, and before she could struggle, he sealed all her mana and ability to move.
At this moment, Bai Suzhen couldn’t even move a bit.
Teng Snake took Bai Suzhen away, leaving the Lady of Mount Li, disappearing before her eyes.
The Lady of Mount Li was anxious.
She tried calculating with her hands but couldn’t find Teng Snake’s location.
Evidently, Teng Snake had prepared for this, having taken measures to prevent others from discovering his whereabouts.
Even for a Sub-Paramount, finding him would be nearly impossible.
Under Heaven, only Lord Taishang might have absolute confidence in locating Teng Snake.
“Could it be…”
The Lady of Mount Li suddenly realized, considering a possibility.
If that was truly the case, Xiaobai was in danger.
She was anxious but had no means.
Regarding seeking help from Huaguo Mountain, the Lady of Mount Li discarded that notion directly.
That’s a joke, not to mention if the Monkey King would show respect.
Merely with Fahai’s reckless actions, she didn’t dare go to Huaguo Mountain.
If they were to take offense and the Monkey King acted against her, it would be far from pleasant.
With these thoughts in mind, the Lady of Mount Li could only worry helplessly.
She started treating her injuries.
If she wouldn’t go to Huaguo Mountain, she would ultimately have to rely on herself to rescue Xiaobai.
“That madman, how could he do this, Xiaobai is his own flesh and blood, and yet he intends to sacrifice Xiaobai to revive Bai Xian, he’s truly insane.
Even if Bai Xian is revived, if Bai Xian knows her daughter was sacrificed, she would never accept it.”
Bai Xian had died, unknown to others, but the Lady of Mount Li knew.
She was slain when giving birth to Xiaobai in a sneak attack.
The attacker was formidable, at least of the Supreme rank.
Because Bai Xian herself was a Supreme, even at her weakest after childbirth, no Sub-Paramount could ambush and kill her.
The Lady of Mount Li suddenly had a moment of clarity.
She finally understood why Teng Snake was so cruel to Xiaobai.
