Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 722

Chapter 722: Chapter 725 Confidence and Arrogance [Third Update]

"No matter what you say, I have only one word for you." Luo Tian snorted, spitting out a single word: "Scram!"

Upon hearing this, the seven-year-old girl began to cry even harder. She was young and couldn’t understand why Grandpa Luo Tian was being so harsh with her.

Those who witnessed the scene had complex feelings, their gazes fixed on the little girl with shock and uncertainty. They all wondered whose daughter she could possibly be to provoke such a reaction from Luo Tian. It was well known that Luo Tian and Zheng Zheng had always been on good terms. Yet, for this child’s sake, Master Luo Tian had disregarded their friendship and demanded that Zheng Zheng’s daughter be thrown out. Who exactly was this little girl?

*"This child is mysterious and unfathomable, with a profound background,"* the people murmured among themselves.

The other little girl, however, stood quietly to the side as if the entire incident had nothing to do with her. A faint smile touched her lips, and she maintained the appearance of a perfectly obedient child.

Crying, the seven-year-old girl ran out, determined to find her father, Zheng Zheng, and get her revenge. As long as Father takes action, everything can be resolved. Yes, Father always told me that even if the sky falls, there’s nothing to worry about with him around.

「At that moment」

Zheng Zheng was searching for Ye Qingxian in the surrounding taverns and teahouses. He had only one tavern left to check, unaware that inside, Wu Tian and Ye Qingxian were in the middle of a discussion about wine.

Just as he was about to enter, his daughter found him. "Father!" she cried, her voice thick with sobs.

"Why aren’t you at Grandpa Luo Tian’s house?" Zheng Zheng frowned slightly, puzzled by the sight of his crying daughter. "My dear, what happened? Why are you crying?"

"Grandpa Luo Tian has been deceived," the seven-year-old sobbed. "He misunderstood me and told me to scram."

"What? How could that happen?" Zheng Zheng’s brows furrowed. He pulled his daughter aside and asked gravely, "Are you telling the truth?"

"It’s true, it’s true," the seven-year-old girl nodded.

"It seems I must go back and see for myself," Zheng Zheng said with a sigh.

These words filled the girl with joy. As long as Father comes back to the Luo Mansion with me, everything will be solved. Grandpa Luo Tian will go back to smiling kindly at me, just like before.

Zheng Zheng led his daughter toward the Luo Mansion. The gatekeeper frowned, considering whether to stop them.

"I am Zheng Zheng, a friend of your master. Let me in; I will explain myself," Zheng Zheng said, his expression grim. He looked as if he would fly into a murderous rage if the gatekeeper refused.

The gatekeeper had no choice but to step aside. Whatever happened after Zheng Zheng entered would be for the master to resolve.

Seeing them make way, a small, approving smile touched Zheng Zheng’s lips. "That’s more like it."

"Father is truly amazing!" the seven-year-old girl exclaimed.

Zheng Zheng nodded, looking at his daughter with a serious expression. "Remember, with Father here, there is nothing that cannot be resolved."

"Mhm, yes!" she nodded in agreement.

With that, Zheng Zheng led his daughter inside.

「Meanwhile, in the main hall」

"Now, I, this old man, declare the birthday banquet officially begun!" Luo Tian announced.

The hall fell silent, and everyone immediately cupped their hands in a salute toward Master Luo Tian. "We wish Master Luo Tian a boundless lifespan!"

"Congratulations to Master Luo Tian! May your life be as enduring as the southern mountains!"

"Many happy returns of the day!"

A chorus of congratulations rose from the crowd.

"Everyone, there’s no need for such formality. Please, take your seats," Luo Tian chuckled.

"Thank you."

Zheng Zheng looked over and saw the back of a small figure. It seemed vaguely familiar, but he paid it little mind. Children haven’t finished growing yet. Their backs all look more or less the same, don’t they?
