When Ji Shushu was picked up by Venerable Hengyun and brought to Sword Immortal Peak, she was still a little tyke.
She took her father's surname and was given the name Shushu.
Shushu's father was a renowned figure in the cultivation world. His moral standards were as high as his swordsmanship, and wherever he went, he was revered by all.
Returning kindness for enmity, bearing no grudges, upholding justice, and matching his words with his actions: every kind word could be used to describe Shushu's father.
Shushu had stared at her father's gentle face for so long that she almost believed it herself.
The truth was, he had schemed to bring down their rival, Sword Sect Linjian.
The truth was, not one of her father's enemies had ever come to a good end.
The truth was, if someone crossed her father, he'd let them off lightly to their face, but sooner or later, disaster would befall them.
The truth was, Shushu's father was vindictive and petty, a man who put on an air of righteousness but was actually a hypocrite.
That's what the book said.
That's what the male lead, a Dragon-Pride, said.
In Shushu's second year as the Dragon-Pride's fiancee, he told her all this, then exposed her father as a hypocrite.
In the mirror, her father's face was dark and menacing as he plotted to steal the Dragon-Pride's divine sword, then frame him, turn everyone against him, and make sure he never got back on his feet.
Shushu clenched her fists, her eyes full of disbelief.
The Dragon-Pride stared intently at her.
The next second, Shushu's fist came flying at him.
"Who do you think you are, talking about my dad?!"
"Ji Fusheng, beat this traitorous piece of trash to death!"
The young lady's number-one lackey, Ji Fusheng, let out a howl and charged forward brandishing a huge cleaver. In the end, he barely managed to keep up.
Shushu was furious and immediately summoned her father.
The Dragon-Pride's halo kicked in, and his old grandpa made an appearance. Her father nearly lost too, so, just as furious as Shushu, he summoned his own master.
The true old monster of the cultivation world, a Dao Immortal on the brink of ascension, arrived. Seeing his little disciple standing in front of his grand-disciple with a wounded look on his face, he fell silent.
How had a young man ended up raising a daughter?
Venerable Hengyun had made a name for himself so early that everyone had forgotten he was only two years older than the Dragon-Pride.
Venerable Hengyun felt wronged. Wasn't cultivating the Way of All Beings all about building a good reputation? A gentleman is judged by his actions, not his thoughts. How had he been branded a villain? In the cultivation world, he was barely old enough to count as an adult!
Shushu watched the whole absurd dispute from a corner and said to her childhood friend and fellow lackey, "So my dad isn't just an old cucumber painted green."
Ji Fusheng nodded. "Venerable Hengyun really does have an air of age and experience, even more than my grandpa."
Venerable Hengyun, having just been scolded by the Dao Immortal, turned and shot Ji Fusheng a withering glare.
Shushu hurriedly stepped in front of her lackey and gave her father an adorable smile.
Ji Fusheng looked thoroughly pleased with himself.
