Your Mother Can Pardon You!

As soon as Wen Qingya finished speaking, Wen Huahai, the Fourth Elder of the Wen Family, spoke up:

"Hehe, you're in a hurry."

But the Zhang Family isn't in a hurry.

In six months, it will be your wedding day with the young master of the Zhang Family.

But what about the Zhang Family?

"I haven't seen a single person."

"Patriarch, it's not that I'm being nosy, but I really can't understand why you would choose to marry Qingya into the Zhang Family."

The Zhang Family is now a high-ranking Nascent Soul Clan.

In order to prove their own status, they will inevitably seek out direct descendants or True Disciple of other Nascent Soul cultivators.

"How could you possibly marry a woman from my Wen Family as your principal wife?"

"The reason the Zhang Clan Patriarch agreed was probably simply because Zhang Detian of the Zhang Family, wanted Qingya's body."

Upon hearing this, the other elders in the clan all stood up and echoed his words.

He bowed to Wen Yanran and said:

"Patriarch, we agree with what the Fourth Elder said."

Upon seeing this, Wen Qingya immediately became anxious, "Stop talking nonsense!"

The Zhang Family announced my wedding date with Tian Ge'er in front of so many powerful figures; how could they possibly go back on their word?

Besides, Brother Tian isn't the kind of person you're describing!

"Heh, isn't he?" Wen Huahai sneered, turning to look at Wen Qingya. "How can you be so sure he isn't?"

Are you very familiar with him?

How could you determine he's a good man just by exchanging a few words with him?

Wake up.

If he really cared about you, he would have sent someone to pick you up long ago, instead of waiting until now!

Given his status, even disregarding the fact that he's a Golden Core cultivator from the Zhang Family, it would be easy for him to send a Foundation Establishment Peak to pick you up, right?

But what about now?

There wasn't a soul in sight!

"Are you really going to be so eager to spend money on me?"

"Don't forget that your current Qi Refining Ninth Layer cultivation was nurtured by the Wen Family, not the Zhang Family!"

"If you had chosen to marry into the Eastern Lan Wei Family back then, would my Wen Family have ended up with nothing?"

"In the future, if your younger brother Wen Shaohua, who is also the young master of my Wen Family, fails to break through to the Nascent Soul, it will be your responsibility!"

You are a sinner of the Wen Family!

Upon hearing the word "sinner," Wen Qingya's pupils dilated sharply.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

Turning to look at the expressionless Wen Shaohua, she asked, "Brother, is that what you think too?"

Upon hearing the question, Wen Shaohua sighed but did not answer it directly.

Looking at Wen Qingya, he slowly spoke:

"Sister, it wasn't easy for the Lineage to raise you."

But you're thinking of paying me out of your own pocket.

Don't you truly feel ashamed before my Wen Family of the Wen family?

Upon hearing this, Wen Qingya felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

A look of despair crossed his face.

He gave a bitter laugh, his heart filled with utter disappointment in this Lineage.

Then his gaze slowly hardened, "Wen Shaohua!"

Ask yourself honestly.

How have I treated you!

"Who have all the resources I've saved up over the years gone to?!"

Wen Shaohua's face turned grim, and he fell silent.

Seeing this, Wen Huahai snorted coldly, "Wen Qingya, watch your words. You have no right to..."

"Wen Huahai!" Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wen Qingya's icy voice, "Since I stepped down as the young master of the Wen Family seven years ago, have I ever used even a single resource from the Wen Family?"

In order to earn Cultivation Resources, I go to the outskirts of the Purple Cloud Mountain Range to hunt Demon Beast every seven days.

I achieved my breakthrough from the Qi Refining Fifth Layer to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer in seven years through my own hard work!

It has absolutely nothing to do with the Wen Family!

"As for the time before the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, the resources I used were proportional to my efforts!"

When have I ever wronged my Lineage?

But why do you say that my current achievements are all thanks to my Lineage?

"They just want to use me to form a marriage alliance with other forces and extract the last bit of value from me."

Bah!

Who do you think you are?!

What a disgusting old codger!

Even if I die out there, I will never become a tool for your marriage alliance!

"You're saying I'm giving money to the Zhang Family?"

I'm fucking happy! It's good that no one from the Zhang Family is coming!

Saves you disgusting bastards from receiving rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures!

"And also, the young master you all speak of, I've spoiled him since birth. What haven't I given him—resources, Law Artifact, Spirit Talisman—?"

But now you're blaming me?

Do you really think that such an ingrate can help the Lineage advance further?

It's simply...

"Wen Qingya!" Wen Yanran, sitting at the head of the table, said coldly, "Wen Shaohua is your brother!"

Even if he's wrong, you shouldn't humiliate him like that!

"Mother!"

"Stop talking!" Wen Yanran raised her hand to interrupt. Although she felt sorry for her daughter, Wen Shaohua was the future of the Wen Family. "Didn't you want to go to the Zhang Family?"

I will personally escort you to the Zhang Family!

It's too dangerous for you to go to the Zhang Family alone.

Now that Wen Qingya has completely fallen out with her Lineage, it is clearly inappropriate to send someone else to escort her.

Only she could personally escort him.

"Wait!" Wen Huaming, the Great Elder of the Wen Family, said with a grim expression.

He stood up and said, "Clan Leader, Wen Qingya has not yet left the Wen Family."

According to clan rules, anyone who insults their elders will be severely punished with thirty strokes of the cane and have their cultivation revoked.

"No!" Wen Yanran interrupted, "Although Wen Qingya made a mistake, she is still the fiancée of the young master of the Zhang Family."

If I arrive at the Zhang Family injured and incur Zhang Family wrath, it would be a greater loss than gain.

Wen Huaming nodded.

"Indeed, thirty strokes of the cane can be waived, but five layers of her cultivation must be removed."

He acquired five levels of cultivation using Lineage resources, so if my Wen Family were to reduce those five levels, the Zhang Family wouldn't be able to say anything!

As soon as he finished speaking, he unleashed his Foundation Establishment Peak cultivation and struck Wen Qingya's dantian with a palm.

"No!" Wen Yanran exclaimed in shock, trying to stop them, but it was too late.

Wen Huaming's attack was completely unexpected.

As someone at the same Foundation Establishment Peak, she simply didn't have the ability to resist.

"Snort!"

Just at this critical moment, a cold snort rang out from outside the palace gate.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful pressure froze Wen Huaming in mid-air.

Bang!

The palace gates were smashed open!

A stern-looking man dressed in a gray-gold robe appeared at the door.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Wen Yanran, who was standing beside the Lineage throne, was greatly alarmed!

Cold sweat poured down my forehead!

The elders of the Wen Family had never met Zhang Chongxian before, so they did not recognize him immediately.

Seeing that their palace gates had been broken open, they all stood up.

Wen Huahai angrily rebuked, "How dare you!"

"How dare you trespass into my Wen Family! You're asking for it!"

Snap!

Before he could finish speaking, he was slapped away by a burst of spiritual energy, blood and fangs flying through the air.

He slammed hard against the wall.

He has lost his voice; his fate is unknown.

Immediately afterward, Zhang Chongxian flashed forward, grabbed Wen Huaming by the neck, and said in a deep voice:

"How dare you ants mess with my Zhang Family master's fiancée?"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Seven Elder dressed in magnificent robes appeared inside the Main Hall.

These were the Wen Family’s Seven Golden Core Ancestors.

The leader was a Golden Core Peak cultivator.

They all bowed respectfully to Zhang Chongxian, saying, "We pay our respects to the Silent Void True Lord."

I have been negligent; please forgive me, True Lord Excellency.

"Please forgive my mother!" Zhang Chongxian cursed angrily, "These old ants who rely on their age all want to ruin the future matriarch of the Zhang Family!"

You expect me to forgive you?
