Ye Huaifeng’s eyes were tinged with sarcasm as he saw Chu Chengxi quickly muffle his voice and cover his mouth. He also shot a scathing glance at Yang Fengxiang and Chu Xiaoyue, who had wanted to speak but now remained silent.

Chu Pingyu had only obtained his high-grade fire spirit root by using the celestial-quality Spiritual Root Formation Pill that Ye Huaifeng’s master had found in a secret realm.

His master, on the other hand, naturally possessed a high-quality lightning spiritual root and could be rightfully called a peerless genius.

These Chu family members had never recognized the value of his master and instead held Chu Pingyu, that rotten fruit, in high regard, and subjected his master to all kinds of mistreatment.

The Chu family members were truly despicable. Damn them!

“How dare she!?” Chu Chengxi glared fiercely at Qian Yan, who was inside the seclusion room. He saw her rapidly collecting items from Chu Pingyu and even taking things from the rest of the room.

Chu Pingyu was deeply immersed in his cultivation, effectively sealing himself off from the outside world. No one could have expected that someone would break in like this, and thus, he hadn’t added additional precautions against it. As a result, he was completely unaware of the situation outside.

Yang Fengxiang wanted to say something as she pointed at Qian Yan but was genuinely concerned that too much noise might disturb Chu Pingyu’s deep meditation. So, like Chu Chengxi, she could only keep her gaze locked on Qian Yan. She looked like she wanted to devour Qian Yan whole.

Chu Xiaoyue was different. She was genuinely surprised that Chu Qianyan was going this far. However, seeing Chu Pingyu being treated this way by her made Chu Xiaoyue feel a sense of pleasure in her heart.

In truth, the person that she hated most was not Chu Qianyan, but Chu Pinyu. She found him utterly disgusting and repugnant, but she didn’t dare to bully him.

Their parents favoured sons over daughters, so her life had been difficult even when she was a little kid. After Chu Pingyu was born, her life had only become more difficult.

Witnessing Chu Qianyan come to take things from Chu Pingyu today and seeing her parents get so angry that they were shaking… Chu Xiaoyue found it all very satisfying.

This didn’t mean that she didn’t hate Chu Qianyan, of course.

They were both daughters of the Chu family, but Chu Qianyan turned out to have a high-quality lightning spiritual root. Meanwhile, Chu Xiaoyue didn’t have any spiritual roots. Indeed, if she hadn’t taken the Spiritual Root Formation Pill later in her life, she wouldn’t even have had the chance to cultivate.

“This is unacceptable, utterly unacceptable! Unbelievable!”

“How could she do this?”

“It’s because we didn’t discipline her properly from when she was young. This has led to her developing this habit of bullying her siblings,” Chu Chengxi whispered through gritted teeth, “If she had stayed with us and we had gotten to discipline her more, or if we had followed her when she was taken away, these things wouldn’t have happened.”

Yang Fengxian’s expression shifted. Finally, she agreed with Chu Chengxi and said, “That’s right. We were separated from her for several years. She must’ve changed because of those several years. We should’ve kept her with us when we could.”

The original host had been taken to the cultivation world when she was five years old and was separated from the Chu family for several years after that.

The original host had always been a gentle and obedient kid since she was little. Chu Chengxi and Yang Fengxiang had brainwashed her in all sorts of ways when she was young and made her feel guilty for leaving her family in the mortal world.

Hence, even after entering the cultivation world, she had never truly let go of her ties to the Chu family.

The original host was very gifted; she was a rare cultivation genius. However, she had already carried a heavy mental burden ever since she was just a little kid.

The cultivator who took her away was also her master. He, Immortal Qian Zun, had realised a long time ago, that his disciple had a deep emotional connection with her family. If he forcibly severed these worldly attachments, it would have hindered her progress on the path of cultivation and it could potentially give rise to inner demons.

In cultivation, it was essential to follow one’s heart. Thus, he didn’t stop her from visiting her family, providing for them, and ultimately, under the relentless influence of the Chu family, bringing them all into the cultivation world and granting them the opportunity to cultivate.

He believed that since he couldn’t sever these familial ties, it’d be better for the original host to confront them herself.

He knew that even with this approach, the outcome wouldn’t be ideal, but he couldn’t bear to lose such a genius like the original host.
