Chapter 398 - 398 I can't help you

?398: I can’t help you 398: I can’t help you Editor: Exodus Tales  “????”????,???????,”????????,?????????,?????????????????,??????????” “Just that?” As soon as courtyard leader Wen finished his words, Zheng Chong exclaimed.

“Taking the sect leader in consideration, it’s okay to not make her pay for this with her life, but her cultivation should be taken away too!

Are you just going to chase her out of the sect for her to go back and be the elder miss she is?”   ??????,??:”??????,??????????,?????,??????.”????????,???????????.

Courtyard leader Wen gritted his teeth in hatred before plastering a thin smile on his face.

“Calm down Senior uncle Zheng, cultivation would sure be taken away!

It’s just that because it’s an accustom, so junior nephew did not specifically mention it.”   “????.”?????,???????????????,????????????,”????,????????,??????.” “Whatever.” Zheng Chong nodded, knowing that this is the furthest he can go now, as it is impossible to get rid of the Zhou’s totally right now.

“It’s over now, so old man will go off and not meddle with your matters.”   ??,???????????:”??,????????,?????,???,???????,??????????,???????!” As he was about to go off, Zheng Chong than turned to the crowd.

“Oh, my useless disciple finally broke through the spirit realm after so many years.

I planned to hold a banquet for him to get rid of his bad luck.

Remember to come!”   ????,?????.

He said carelessly and waved his sleeves before leaving.

??????.??????,???????.

The crowd looked at each other in disbelieve, while some were fast enough to sense the difference.

??,??????,????????,?????????,??????,????????????????,???????.

No wonder.

Zheng Chong is well known for being obstinate.

Even when the line of Jade Terrace tried to get him on their side, he ignored them as well.

So what could have got him on Lu Mingshu’s side this time?

?????????????????,????????,????????,?????,?????????.??????????

Kuai Xin has broken through?

It has already been well known that he has gotten Lu Mingshu’s secret since long, and many have been waiting to see the results.

~Did he breakthrough because of the secret techniques?

If that’s so it’s fast!~   ???????????,??????????.

Their minds replayed the attack that Lu Mingshu launched previously, and it ignites many’s hearts.

??????????????,?????????…

~So she did really got passed on a unique secret technique if I could get it…”   “?????,?????????.”????????,????????,”????,?????????.” “I should be going back too, I’ll have to attend to my master’s needs.” An Tongchen smiled and waved goodbye.

“If there’s anything you can get me at the willow woods.”   “?????.”???????.

“Thank you, senior uncle, An.” Lu Mingshu bowed.

??????,?????????????????.

An Tongchen smiled in acknowledgement before exiting the quintessence courtyard which has been torn down.

??????,?????,????????.

The commotion have come to an end, and people start to leave one by one.

?????????,????,??:”???,??????????,?????????” Just as Lu Mingshu was about to leave, Yin Hong called her back.

“Junior niece Lu, aren’t you going to do something about this destruction?”   ??????,???:”??” “Huh?” Lu Mingshu turned back, raising her eyebrows.

??????,?????:”??,??????????,???????,??…” Before she could continue, Courtyard leader Wen immediately interrupted.

“There’s no need so, junior niece Lu tore it down just in time, we are preparing for renovation too…”  ????,????,??????.??????????,??????,?????????

~That stupid Yin Hong, does she find the damage not severe enough?

What’s going on in her brain so that she thinks that asking for compensation right now is a good choice?

…

???,???????.

The Jasper Jade Palace.

Zhou Miaoru stared blankly into the space gloomily.

“?,?,??!”???????,????????.

“Mother, Mother, save me!” Fu Mingxi grabbed on her legs, tears bursting forward like a dam, spilling down her face.

???????.

But there’s no response from Zhou Miaoru.

????????,?????,??????:”??,??!????????,????!” Fu Shangqing walked into the palace.

Seeing him, Fu Mingxi immediately dashed forward.

“Daddy, daddy, please help me, please!

I do not want to lose my cultivation!”   “????????”??????.

“Help?

How?” Fu Shangqing replied.

??????,????:”?????,??????…” Fu Mingxi looked up at him anxiously.

“You’re the sect leader, you would have ways…”   ???????,???????:”??.” “Mingxi.” Fu Shangqing sighed and stared at her.

“??!”????????????,??????????,??????.

“Daddy!” Fu Mingshu grabbed on his legs as if grabbing on her only lifeline.

She tried to make herself look pitiful, in hopes that Fu Shangqing would pity her.

?????????????:”????????,??????????????.???,???????,??????????.” “If you do not want to go to the Zhou’s, then daddy could buy a house in the Jiulu province for you.

Or Dongyue is fine too, that’s daddy’s hometown anyway.” Fu Shangqing replied, sounding extremely caring and upset.

??????,???????,?????????,?????????,?????.

Fu Mingxi stared at her father for a few moments.

After realising that he wasn’t lying, she fell to the ground, like a deflated balloon.

???,??????????????.???????????????,??????????,??????????.

She suddenly understood how Lu Mingshu felt years ago.

Her daddy is still the same, acting like he’s the most caring father she could ever have, but acting otherwise.

??????,?????,???????.??????????????????,?????,?????,??????????.????,????????.????,???????????????——?????????,????.

He has already given up on her and planned to leave her to die.

Yet he was still able to sound so caring.

How much Fu Mingxi hoped that he would give her a slap and reprimand her cruelly right now.

But he didn’t.

He didn’t even bother to scold her.

He’s just pitying the consequences she’s about to face, and nothing else.

“????????????,????????????????????,??????????????,????????,??????????.” “You can not worry about the Nine Jade Palace anymore.

Your aunt seems to lead a good life now, no?

If you want, daddy can get you a good husband in Dongyue.

Leading a life of commoner is not a bad idea too.

You could still lead a good life after that.”   ??????,??????.????????,??,?????????.

Fu Mingxi shut her eyes and beads of tears rolled down her eyes.

Leading a life of commoner is not a bad idea too.

And from today onwards, she would only be a commoner.

??????,???????.???????,???????,?????????????.

She heard footsteps getting further.

Her father has left, and he did not even bother saying anything more to her, as if he never had her as a daughter.

“?????.”????????.

“Get miss up.” Zhou Miaoru’s sigh echo across the room.

????????,????????,??????.

The servant girl helped Fu Mingxi up, but she’s crying so hard that she could not even stand right up.

????????????,????????.

Zhou Miaoru took over the handkerchief being passed over and wipe the tears away for Fu Mingxi slowly.

“?…” “Mother…”   ???????????:”??????,??????” “Have you heard what your father said?” Zhou Miaoru wiped her tears gently while asking softly.

???????????.

Fu Mingxi was still crying so hard that she couldn’t say a word.

“????????,????????!” “He might seem to be telling you that, but in reality, he is warning me.”   ?????,?????????,???:”?…” Fu Mingxi looked up in shock, seeing her mother’s calm expression, she can’t help but be confused.

“Mother…”   ???????????????????????????????…

~Aren’t my parents always lovely Dovey?

Why does mother look so calm?

And warning…~   “????????,??,”??????,”????????!???????.” “Leading a life of commoner is not a bad idea too.

Hehe.” Zhou Miaoru sneered.

“He’s trying to imply that I’m being too busybody, huh?”   “?!”???????,”?…???????” “Mother!” Fu Mingxi grabbed onto Zhou Miaoru’s hand.

“What…do you mean?”   “???????????,??????,??????”????????????.

“What do I mean?

Do you really think that we are in love?

Do you?” Zhou Miaoru sneered.

??????,??????

~No?~ Fu Mingxi look at Zhou Miaoru, puzzled.

“??,???????!”??????????????,????,”?????????,????,???????????,???????.????????,????,??????.??,????????,?????,??????.” “Mingxi, the mother is not leading a good life anyway!” Zhou Miaoru sighed, ranting to her daughter.

“Back then, your grandfather was obsessed with cultivating and died.

The Zhou’s have no suitable heir.

So I got no choice but to marry your father who already married.

Thankfully, your father broke through the spirit realm and took over the position, and we manage to pull through the crisis.

”   “??????????,???????????????????,????????,??????,????????,????.????,??????——??????,??????????.???,????????,????????.” “All you see is how good the days in the Zhou’s are.

But do you have any idea why is this possible?

There’s only one spirit realm left in our family, and that’s your second grandfather.

However, he’s useless and can’t anything right.

Other than that, we have three orphans.

They may all take the surname of Zhou, but they are not blood-related to us after all.

The rest are all disciples are distant relatives or either just outsiders.”   “????????????????????,???????????????.????????????,???????,???????????.??,????????,????,????????.” “Do you know why they listen to me?

Is not because of how powerful your mother is, but the wealth and power left behind by our ancestors.

Mother tried hard to maintain balance in the sect, thus we have what we have now.

However, the world of a martial artist requires cultivation, and I am at a disadvantage.”   ????,??????????,??????????.??,???????,????????,?????????.?????????????,?????????.

Her power comes from the accumulation of numerous generations of Zhou’s and her husband, Fu Shangqing.

However, no matter how much the Zhou family’s ancestors have left behind when there is no heir, they would still lose their power.

Furthermore, Fu Shangqing no longer wants to be her puppet anymore.

Thus she’s losing the hold even faster.

??????????:”????,????????????,???????.” She looked at how in dazed her daughter look and shook her head.

“You see, all of them could speak out loud today, but your mother can’t.”   “?????????????,???????????.” “Now do you know?

Not only that I can not save you, but I will have to clean up after your mess.”
