Chapter 117: Chapter 93: Zhang Xuan Takes Action【Two in One】_2
Liu Tianzheng was stunned, trembling with anger, “Do you know what kind of price you'll pay for defying me!”
“It's precisely because I know that I've made this decision.”
Liu Mingyue shook her head, a resolute expression on her face, “From a young age, I've always been the obedient girl. Whatever you told me to do, I would do, even if I didn't like it. I tried to please you, to fulfill your wishes.”
“I like to hang wind chimes in the corridors, their tinkling in the breeze… I like to wear brightly colored floral dresses that stand out wherever I go, drawing everyone's attention; I enjoy going to lively places, running and screaming with the wind, but you… you prefer quiet, you prefer simplicity…”
“I chose to listen to you, put away the wind chimes, hid the dresses, and sat quietly at home… That's why, every time I see Yu Xiaoyu, I feel an inexplicable envy, wondering why she could take all the things I liked and yet never face any harsh criticisms or punishment.”
“While I had to endure all sorts of lectures, all supposedly for my own good…”
“I thought about rebelling. When I was nine, I used the monthly allowance you gave to buy a colorful ceramic doll. I placed it in my room, thinking up ways to dress her up and make up for her every day, creating all kinds of dresses… Then you found out, accused me of losing my ambition, not practicing diligently, not sincerely sensing the Origin qi. You cut up the dresses I made and smashed the doll to pieces…”
“But that day, I had just sensed the Origin qi and found the Source Pool! You were so happy, saying I was the clan's first in a hundred years…”
“Back then, you sounded just like you did just now, that it was for my own good, claiming that only through practice could a girl change her fate… I know that's true, but is practice really the only way to change one's fate? To change my fate, do I really have to sacrifice my happiness and all the things I enjoy?”
“If that's what changing fate means, then it's not the life I want. What's the point of changing if I do?”
“I feel too oppressed, the shackles you impose on me in the name of love, suffocating me.”
“But I couldn't disobey, so while I complied with your demands, I also felt fear—fear that I couldn't do it, fear that I wouldn't fulfill them… Like when I lost to Mo Yanxue in a challenge and lost the Moyun jade stone, I was afraid you would blame me, afraid you would be disappointed… I didn't even dare to bring up the matter!”
“Under such emotions, I became more and more hesitant. In everything I did, I wanted to hear your opinion first, to be sure whether you agreed or not…”
“Even yesterday, when you told me not to practice Zhang laoshi's cultivation technique and to instead practice our clan's 'Fuyao Energy Accumulation Technique', I agreed, despite my reluctance!”
“But today, seeing Yu Xiaoyu and Hong Yi improve so much and become so strong while I stand still, it suddenly dawned on me…”
“Why do I have to listen to you in everything? Why should I live the life you've arranged for me?”
“I am me. I want to live my own life, to embrace my true self, even if I choose wrongly today, even if I have to pay a price later, I will willingly accept it, content and willing!”
“So… today, I won't listen to you. I will follow my heart, take Zhang laoshi as my mentor, and never again give myself a reason for regret.”
“This…”
Unexpecting his daughter to say these words, Liu Tianzheng stood there, dumbfounded.
He had always thought that he was doing what was best for his daughter, sacrificing so much… Never did he expect to have erased all of her natural inclinations.
Was it right or wrong?
Even he was a bit confused now.
However, this thought was fleeting and was quickly replaced by a deep anger.
The daughter he had raised was being ungrateful, blaming him instead, a real Ingrate Wolf.
“Your mother died early, and I was afraid you'd go astray. I considered everything for you in advance, is there a problem with that? If it weren't for me, could you have grown so well and had such a good life? Could you enjoy the status of the Liu Residence's young lady, without a worry for clothing or food?”
With a flick of his hand, Liu Tianzheng coldly looked over, “I'm giving you one more chance to rephrase your words! Don't disappoint me again.”
“You're still the same, never respecting my opinions, no matter what I say, you want me to agree with your words… Alright, since you want to hear it, then I'll say it again, and it doesn't matter if I repeat it ten times!”
Taking a deep breath, Liu Mingyue's eyes were determined, “I want to take Zhang laoshi as my mentor…”
Smack!
Before she could finish speaking, Liu Tianzheng's slap had already descended, the crisp sound of a slap echoing around, striking the girl's face and her heart alike.
“Liu Clan Head, what are you doing?”
Zhang Xuan frowned, not expecting him to strike so directly.
“What I do is none of your business!”
With a cold shout, Liu Tianzheng looked toward the girl again, “You have the guts to repeat what you just said!”
Covering her cheek, Liu Mingyue's eyes revealed deep disappointment. She had been hopeful, thinking that as long as she persisted, she would gain her father's support. Now, she had completely given up hope.
In his eyes, she was just a doll to be manipulated, obedient was best, and defiance equated to disobedience and filial impiety…
As tears rolled down, Liu Mingyue's face showed an unprecedented defiance, “I said, from today on, I will no longer follow your arrangements. I want to take Zhang laoshi as my mentor!”
“Fine, since you've decided this, then don't blame me for being unkind!”
Liu Tianzheng slapped her again.
