Chapter 11 - 11 11 Devoted Cultivation Parents Return
?Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Devoted Cultivation, Parents Return Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Devoted Cultivation, Parents Return Xie Jiujiu finished a hearty meal and, after giving He Xiang a few instructions, returned home to continue her secluded cultivation.
Meanwhile, the news of Xie Ying becoming a Heavenly Spiritual Root finally spread, causing a sensation throughout Yunmu City.
The City Lord Residence celebrated joyously every day, hosting grand banquets.
The main branch of the family, still worried that Xie Jiujiu might cause trouble, specifically had people keep watch over her, but to their surprise, days passed with nothing but calm seas and gentle breezes.
The three members of the family gathered privately together.
Chen Guan, the great aunt from the eldest branch, couldn’t help but grumble, “That girl, always in secluded cultivation, didn’t even show up for Yingying’s great celebration.”
“Shut up,” Xie’s great-uncle, who dearly hoped Xie Jiujiu would not appear, said, “Why bring her up when everything’s fine as it is?”
“Lately, that girl from the second branch has been parading around in front of me in Yingying’s clothes, infuriating me. I sent someone to inquire and found out that last time she only sold most of her things, she must still have some left, and I want to take back some of those…”
“Enough!” Xie’s great-uncle interrupted Chen Guan, “Haven’t you been tricked by her enough last time? I’m warning you, don’t think about targeting Jiujiu again. The couple from the third branch is coming back in a few days. If this blows up, none of us will save face. Yingying doesn’t lack those things now.”
Xie’s great-uncle, basking in the glory of his daughter’s achievements, did not want to court any more trouble. Mainly because his father was very dissatisfied with him over the third branch’s affairs and had already stripped him of his duties.
With nothing else to do, he could focus on cultivation, but that also meant no more perks.
Chen Guan, accustomed to suppressing the third branch, had gradually become biased. But, after her husband’s reminder, she quickly adjusted her mindset.
“Mother, there’s no need to take it to heart. Once I join the Sect, I will definitely be given importance. My status will be incomparable to Jiujiu’s, and it’s not worth losing my dignity over some trivial things,”
Xie Ying had heard about the incident at the Youth Martial Hall square but thinking of the bright future provided by her Heavenly Spiritual Root, a sense of superiority quickly filled her heart again.
