Chapter 503: Good Daughter, Hurry and Call Me Dad
Ancestor Sui Bian watched Xiu Yu lead Yu Zhao away by the hand and felt a bit sour inside.

He rubbed his nose and muttered under his breath, “Women really are quick to like the new and hate the old. She was not like this before.”

Old Black laughed gloatingly at his side. “Sui Bian, no matter how good you look, after Xiu Yu has seen you for a few hundred years she is bound to get tired of it!”

Ancestor Sui Bian rolled his eyes. “What do you know? She is just excited right now. Give it a few days and the fresh feeling will fade.”

Old Black chuckled and was about to tease him more when Senior Ling Long had already stepped after them. “If you two keep dawdling, we will lose them later.”

Ancestor Sui Bian and Old Black stopped bickering and hurried to catch up.

When they drew near, they heard Yu Zhao’s voice: “Senior Xiu Yu, this… I really have no use for it.”

When Ancestor Sui Bian and Old Black came closer, they saw that the two women were standing in front of a stall run by a clean-cut man. The stall was covered with all kinds of delicate accessories.

Senior Xiu Yu was holding a pair of red round hair ties. A few clear gem beads were hanging from them, and they looked very fine.

“Little Zhao, you should call me Aunt.” After correcting her, she happily held the hair ties up to Yu Zhao’s head and measured them against her. “Look how cute these are. They will look so good on you!”

Yu Zhao’s face was full of helplessness. “Aunt, I am not really a little child. It will look strange if I wear them.”

But Xiu Yu did not agree. “How could it be strange? You are already so cute now. If you wear these, people will like you even more!”

Yu Zhao looked at Ancestor Sui Bian with a dead look in her eyes, trying to send out a call for help.

Ancestor Sui Bian came over, took one look at the hair ties in Xiu Yu’s hand, and could not help laughing. “Nice, nice, these are great! Just right for wearing to meet the elders!”

Yu Zhao stared at him in shock.

With his support, Senior Xiu Yu became even happier. After asking for the price, she bought the pair of red ball hair ties without hesitation.

By the time they left the stall, the lifeless-looking Yu Zhao had two little pigtails on her head, each tied with a red round hair tie.

They had not gone far when Ancestor Sui Bian pointed in surprise at a stall in the corner. “Starry Sky Stone!”

Old Black looked over and was overjoyed. “It really is. Such a big piece, and the quality is good. With this, we will have all the Starry Sky Stone we need.”

“Come on, let’s go take a look.”

The group walked quickly over.

When the Stall Owner saw that they were coming straight for the Starry Sky Stone, he said directly, “Starry Sky Stone, ten pieces of Spirit Jade.”

This piece of Starry Sky Stone was about half the size of a fist, so ten pieces of Spirit Jade was a fair price.

But Old Black was used to being stingy and bargained right away. “Five pieces of Spirit Jade.”

The Stall Owner rolled his eyes at him, looking at him like he was a poor ghost.

Old Black gave an awkward laugh, stepped back, and let Ancestor Sui Bian step forward.

Ancestor Sui Bian was just about to pick it up and check it when a bold, unrestrained voice came from the side: “I want this piece of Starry Sky Stone.”

They turned their heads and saw a man in black walking over with slow steps, his brows and eyes full of cruelty.

When Ancestor Sui Bian and Old Black saw him, their expressions froze. Senior Xiu Yu spoke in a cold voice. “Pei Li, why are you here?”

Pei Li curled his lips. The vicious light that was usually in his eyes suddenly faded, and his voice softened without him noticing. “I was just passing by. Since you like this piece of Starry Sky Stone, I will buy it for you.”

“No need. I do not want anything from you.”

But Pei Li acted as if he had not heard her refusal. “Xiu Yu, why should you and I be so distant? Let this Starry Sky Stone be a little token of mine.” After he finished speaking, he turned to the Stall Owner. “For this piece of Starry Sky Stone, I will pay double.”

The Stall Owner looked at Xiu Yu and her group, then at Pei Li. His face was full of hesitation. It was clear he did not want to offend either side.

Ancestor Sui Bian’s face sank. “Pei Li, are you picking a fight on purpose?”

Only then did Pei Li seem to notice Ancestor Sui Bian. He looked at him as if lowering himself. “So it was you. I was only looking at Xiu Yu just now and did not notice you were here. What, does this piece of Starry Sky Stone have your name written on it, and only you are allowed to buy it?”

Ancestor Sui Bian was so angry at his punchable face that his teeth itched. When he thought of his good brother Old Black standing beside him, his heart suddenly felt much bolder.

He was just about to speak when Pei Li’s gaze suddenly fell on Yu Zhao, whose hand Xiu Yu was holding.

“Who is she?”

Pei Li narrowed his eyes, his gaze moving back and forth between Yu Zhao and Xiu Yu, his tone carrying a hint of probing. “Xiu Yu, this child could not be…”

Before Senior Xiu Yu could say anything, Ancestor Sui Bian suddenly jumped out, pulled Yu Zhao to his side, and said loudly, “That is right! She is my daughter!”

Old Black almost spat out a laugh.

Yu Zhao was completely stunned.

Ling Long and Xiu Yu, the two sisters, also stared at Ancestor Sui Bian in shock.

Pei Li’s face changed at once, and his eyes turned cold. “Since when did you have a daughter? Why have I never heard of this?”

Ancestor Sui Bian snorted proudly. “Do I need to report to you whether I have a daughter or not?”

After he spoke, he lowered his head to look at Yu Zhao, his eyes full of flattery and pleading. “Good daughter, hurry and call me Dad!”

Yu Zhao fell silent.

When Ancestor Sui Bian saw that Yu Zhao did not move, he hurriedly sent her a Voice Transmission. “Little Yu Zhao, help me out! Think of it as me owing you one!”

Yu Zhao opened her mouth, but still could not get the word “Dad” out. She could only close her eyes, brace herself, and nod hard.

Ancestor Sui Bian stiffened his neck and explained, “My daughter is just shy! Look how much she looks like me!”

Pei Li’s gaze stayed for a moment on their one big and one small face, and his expression grew even uglier.

In truth, Yu Zhao and Ancestor Sui Bian did not look alike. But both of them were very good-looking and stood out in a crowd. At a quick glance, there was a vague sense that they were similar in spirit if not in features.

“Since she is your daughter, why is Xiu Yu holding her hand?”

“Love me, love my dog, got it?”

Pei Li shot Ancestor Sui Bian a gloomy look, then turned to Xiu Yu. “Is that so?”

Senior Xiu Yu said impatiently, “This is my business. I do not have to explain it to you.”

“Xiu Yu, I only want to know more about you.”

“No need. And I am not interested in Starry Sky Stone. You do not have to buy it just to please me.”

Pei Li took a deep breath and forced down the anger surging in his chest. “Then what do you like? I can buy anything for you.”

Ancestor Sui Bian cut in first. “So you do not want this Starry Sky Stone, right? Stall Owner, hurry up and pack it for me.”

The Stall Owner looked at Pei Li. “This…”

Pei Li’s dark eyes fixed on him.

The Stall Owner did not dare say another word. He quickly wrapped up the Starry Sky Stone and handed it to Ancestor Sui Bian.

One of them handed over the money and the other handed over the goods, and the trade was done in no time.

After the Starry Sky Stone was stuffed into his Storage Space, Ancestor Sui Bian started showing off again. “All right, we still have other things to do. We will take our leave now.”
