Chapter 761: Chapter 521: Wang Xingyin’s Thank-You Gift, the Defiant Wenn Qing (2)

“Otherwise, Young Clan Leader, you should understand what I mean by this.”

“Please rest assured, Second Elder, I will do my best.”

Wang Xingyin said.

The Second Elder pursed his lips and did not express further concern.

The previous events had already been spread by the Clan Leader, an unchangeable fact.

Those talkative elders had already been confined to a dungeon where the Ancestor usually secluded himself, under the Ancestor’s arrangement. There, they would receive ample cultivation resources.

This was not due to mistrust of them but for the sake of the family.

Seeing the atmosphere on the scene was somewhat gloomy, Zheng Yi took the initiative to say, “Congratulations to the Second Elder; your granddaughter Wang Miaomiao is likely to become a Third-grade Alchemist soon.”

Zheng Yi took the initiative to speak, giving face to the Second Elder.

“It’s still thanks to the Third Elder’s generous guidance; otherwise, with my granddaughter’s comprehension, it would take at least another half a year to become a Third-grade Alchemist.

Miaomiao is indeed clever, but it’s largely thanks to the Third Elder’s teaching.”

The Second Elder responded.

“Second Elder, you’re being too modest. It’s still Miaomiao’s remarkable comprehension and cleverness.”

Zheng Yi said humbly.

The two conversed in the manner of elders, quickly rendering the Young Clan Leader Wang Xingyin speechless on the side.

Wang Xingyin felt even more grateful to Zheng Yi in his heart.

He understood that Zheng Yi was helping them out of an awkward situation.

After leaving the ancestral hall,

Wang Xingyin sent out a Communication Talisman, inviting Zheng Yi to tour the clan’s grounds.

As dusk was approaching, just as Zheng Yi was about to take his leave, Wang Xingyin led him to his own mansion.

“Wenn Qing, hurry and meet your future master.”

Wang Xingyin gestured outward with a wave.

The mansion’s steward immediately brought forth the maid who had been previously given by the Blood-robed Elder Qin Liang.

Having been trained by the Wang Family, Wenn Qing’s previously defiant nature had improved considerably; otherwise, Wang Xingyin wouldn’t have given her to Zheng Yi.

“This is…”

Zheng Yi asked in confusion.

“Just a simple maid presented to the Third Elder.

She is a Top-grade Spirit Root, and a mutated Blood Spirit Root at that. I’ve heard the Third Elder appreciates beauty, so I present her as a gift.”

Wang Xingyin said, pushing Wenn Qing forward.

Wenn Qing bit her lower lip, shuffling over to Zheng Yi’s side.

“Top-grade Spirit Root, Blood Spirit Root.”

Zheng Yi murmured, casting a sidelong glance at Wenn Qing.

The woman’s face was obedient, yet a trace of viciousness hid in her eyes.

Such a woman might become a hidden threat if placed in the inner court.

But Zheng Yi did not fear hidden threats. “Then I must thank the Young Clan Leader.”

Zheng Yi gladly accepted.

Wang Xingyin was overjoyed, feeling he had finally repaid some gratitude to Zheng Yi.

Afterward,

he thoroughly informed Zheng Yi of Wenn Qing’s background and what had happened in the Wang Family.

Only when Zheng Yi had taken her away did Wang Xingyin feel at ease.

Now, he was the Wang Family’s fifth Foundation Establishment Powerhouse, with a promising future in the clan due to his Top-grade Spirit Root. Progressing to the Crystal Stage was not out of reach.

Once the desire in a person’s heart takes root, it’s as hard to suppress as a towering mountain.

“The Third Elder seems to favor women with good Spirit Roots as Daoist Companions. In that case, I should keep an eye out.”

Wang Xingyin mumbled to himself, contemplating giving Zheng Yi a surprise soon.

…

After leaving Wang Xingyin’s mansion, Zheng Yi returned home and left Wenn Qing in the care of the mansion’s steward, not intending to introduce her to the inner court yet.

During dinner, Zheng Yi mentioned the matter of Wenn Qing.

“Husband, why did you bring her back?”

Wang Qingg was somewhat puzzled.

Next to her, Wang Xue wore an indifferent expression, like a disengaged onlooker.

The calmest among them, Zhang Qingmiao, slowly said, “I’ve heard that the family has dealings with such forces. Bringing her back might be a precaution against future changes.”

“Qingmiao understands me well.”

Zheng Yi said softly.

“Husband and Sister Qingmiao are in harmony; we, as sisters, better not wait until we’re too old.”

Hearing this, Wang Xue, no matter how much she loved to eat, put down her chopsticks.

Looking pitiably at Zheng Yi, “Husband, is this true?”

Zheng Yi chuckled wryly.

It took quite some effort to soothe the two of them, making family life rather interesting in its own way.

Elsewhere, the entered Wenn Qing of Zheng Yi Mansion, was not content.

In the dead of night,

She saw no one around, then made an excuse about a stomachache, planning to leave.

First, she snuck out of the room, then attempted to leave the courtyard.

One array after another, at least set by a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, blocked her. With her third-layer Qi Refining cultivation, she couldn’t possibly get over them.

“This cursed Wang Family, one day I’ll make you pay!”

Wenn Qing cursed angrily in a low voice.

“You seem quite eager to leave here.”

Just as Wenn Qing was about to return to her room, a voice sounded leisurely in the corridor.

Wenn Qing looked up and saw the familiar face dressed in white robe, long pants, and short tunic.

Her face turned pale instantly, and like a collapsing pillar, her body softened, kneeling like a water snake, “Master, please spare me, this servant… this servant just got up in the middle of the night, please don’t hold it against me.”

Zheng Yi ignored her excuses, his gaze growing colder as he walked closer, sneering, “As far as I know, the Wang Family has never mistreated you.

I have heard a little about the Blood-robed Elder Qin Liang from the Wang Family Ancestor.

It’s one thing to hate him, but why hate the Wang Family?

Is it just because the two are in collaboration that you see them as the same?”

Zheng Yi spoke clearly while squatting down and gently lifted Wenn Qing’s delicate face.

“Master, you misunderstand, this servant never thought that way.”

Wenn Qing’s expression was stubborn, tears rolling in her eyes, seeming steadfast and unyielding.

Zheng Yi only sneered slightly.

“Whether it’s true or not, time will reveal the heart of a person.

Since you cannot leave the Wang Family, don’t think of leaving here at my mansion either.

Your third-layer Qi Refining cultivation is too weak. Perhaps when you can be of help to me, I might grant you freedom.”

Zheng Yi finished the last sentence just as he disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

Perceiving Zheng Yi’s departure, a hint of hatred flashed in Wenn Qing’s eyes as she knelt on the ground, softly whispering in her heart, “Trusting people like you? Absurd!

One can only truly rely on oneself.”

However, with her third-layer Qi Refining cultivation, similar to the Immortal Seed the Wang Family brought, she couldn’t even compare to most of the Wang Family members, wanting to escape Piaomiao Mountain.

Was simply a pipe dream.

But if she regained her freedom, having once survived in the Mortal World Quarter among the Demonic Forces, how much better could it be?

The danger in the Cultivation Realm was never lacking.

Holding onto these thoughts.

She didn’t sleep well all night, nearly having dark circles under her eyes the next day.

Urged by the steward, Wenn Qing hurried to Zheng Yi and Madam Wang Qingg’s bedroom.

At this time.

Not only were there other personal maidservants, but Zheng Yi also had just woken from sleep, getting out of bed bare-chested.

The maidservants blushed and quickly fetched new clothes, dressing Zheng Yi one piece at a time.

Wenn Qing was responsible for assisting Zheng Yi with his lower garments, witnessing Zheng Yi’s body.

Her eyes widened, breathing quickly, her heart in disarray.

Her internal resentment deepened several degrees, “Zheng Yi, I will never forgive you! In the past at the Mortal World Quarter, I never suffered such humiliation.

Now, to be toyed with by you like this, I refuse to accept it!”

Wenn Qing’s nature didn’t tolerate a grain of sand in her eyes, always seeking revenge.

Zheng Yi looked down from above.

And saw it all in his gaze.

Wenn Qing thought she hid her feelings well, not realizing that under Zheng Yi’s powerful Divine Sense search.

Her little schemes had nowhere to hide.

But Zheng Yi wasn’t in a hurry, planning to slowly maneuver with her.

There was plenty of time for the future!

…

“Master, it is done!”

Wenn Qing stood aside, looking humble and subservient, appearing no different from the other maidservants.

Zheng Yi gave a light acknowledgment.

Then!

He left the bedroom and soon reached the front hall.

After dining, Zheng Yi went directly to the Cultivation Courtyard inside, beginning the Nine Yin Returning Yang Technique circulation after circulation.

Spiritual Power gradually absorbed into his body, the aura around him slowly rising.

At that moment!

Over at the Wang Family Ancestral Hall.

The Elders previously confined in the Dungeon were released one by one, taking the Heavenly Dao Oath here.

As the oath concluded, the Second Elder overseeing began to show a satisfied smile.

“Rest assured, the Wang Family will not mistreat you all!”

“Starting today!”

“The Wang Family will add another item to the contribution goods, named the Foundation Establishment Pill!”
