The crowd was stunned silly when they saw the terrible state of Alliance Head Situ. The man no longer had his previous confidence and all that was left was his broken face filled with regret and fear.

Everyone felt that everything was surreal. A peak expert at that level was actually beaten up in such an embarrassing manner? He was not even able to fight back and the guy could only take the beating like a human punching bag... 

Alliance Head Situ's subordinates who knew the power of their boss looked utterly dumbfounded when they saw his sorry look. They could not help but take a glance at Jiu Shen who just casually pounded their terrifying boss. 

"Brother, I think I had too much to drink last night that I'm now seeing things wrong. That's not our boss, right?" 

Slap! 

"Ouch! Why did you slap my face?"

"Fool! You are not dreaming and that man just destroyed our boss with a few slaps. I could not even begin to imagine what could have happened if he did not hold back his strength..." 

Alliance Head Situ's subordinates stared at Jiu Shen with trepidation and awe as they discussed among themselves. 

"Father!" 

A sharp cry suddenly rang out, making everyone turn their gazes to the newcomer. She was a seductive young lady dressed in a revealing manner. She was wearing a tight short dress that stuck closely to her body, making everyone see her shapely hourglass figure. This was Liuli, the daughter of Alliance Head Situ and the proprietress of Green Wood Pavilion. 

Liuli was shocked when she saw her father's badly bruised face. She had never seen her father in such a state ever since she was born, so she was a bit surprised by what she saw. After all, her father was among the strongest experts in the entirety of the Profound Dragon Continent. However, she already kinda expected this thing to happen especially when she heard what Can Ye had told her. 

'Of all the people that you could have provoked, why did it have to be him? Even that 'old man' in the Alliance might not be his match...' Liuli muttered in her heart. She was feeling mixed emotions when looking at her father's state, but she was also to be blamed since she did not warn him about Jiu Shen's mystery power.

Following behind Liuli was the sweaty-faced Can Ye. He wore an exhausted look as he panted for breath.

He had sprinted all the way to where Liuli had been and told her about what had transpired inside the store. He did not even have the chance to catch his breath when Liuli pulled him back to the store, so he was now beyond tired and weary. 

'Oh crap! It looks like we're already too late. Man, is that Alliance Head Situ? He looked as if he was bitten by a whole nest of ants... Master is so scary! Even a mid stage Nascent God Realm was reduced into such a beggar-like appearance.' Can Ye uttered in his heart while looking at Alliance Head Situ with a hint of pity. 

"Rurii!" Alliance Head Situ called out, causing his mouth to bleed. He felt a stinging sensation on his face, but he still forced out a hideous-looking smile when he saw his daughter. 

Liuli did not know whether to laugh or to cry when she saw how her father looked at that moment. She also felt guilty when she saw the deep love and affection in his gaze. 

She had been away for too long and the two of them were separated for several years. It was because she wanted to prove to her father that she did not need his help to become someone capable. 

She could never believe that they would be reunited in such a way, but she also felt thankful for this opportunity. 

"Father." She said in a quivering voice as she looked at her father. 

"Ruri." Alliance Head Situ forced out a smile that looked incredibly ugly. He then walked towards his daughter and gently patted the back of her head. He had a lot of words to say, but he just remained silent since he might not be able to handle the pain if he speaks. 

"Oh, come on! That's it? Meow!" Ice pouted with puffed cheeks as she stared at Liuli with annoyance. She still wanted to see Alliance Head Situ being beaten up, but that was no longer possible with Liuli here, so she just snorted angrily before she walked back inside the store with arrogant steps. 

Everyone immediately cleared a path for this little devil. Only an idiot would provoke her after they saw how easily she had beaten up an expert at the 8th-rank Divine realm... 

Jiu Shen stared at the father and daughter duo for a few seconds before he walked back inside the store in a calm manner. He also fished out a bottle of wine from his space earring and took a light sip from it. 

"Familial love? How nostalgic..." Jiu Shen uttered softly as a trace of melancholy flashed in his eyes, but it immediately returned to normal.

Liuli glanced at Jiu Shen's departing figure.

She wanted to call him, but she still has to help her father dress his wounds. Jiu Shen might have been light-handed with his attacks, but her father was still injured especially his face. 

"Father, I have a lot to tell you. Let's go. I'll take you somewhere so that we can treat your wounds." Liuli said with a sweet smile on her face. 

Alliance Head Situ nodded his head weakly when he heard her words. 

Liuli grabbed her father's arm and pulled him away from the scene with a happy smile. She did not even bother to glance at Can Ye who was about to say something to her, and so, the latter could only choose to close his mouth while looking at her walk away with Alliance Head Situ. 

"I did not even get a 'thank you'. Ays, nevermind." Can Ye heaved out a sigh before going inside the store with a sour look.
