When her heartbreak was mentioned, Jiang Lingyun clenched her sleeves tightly, her nails cracking from the force. "So what if I'm unwilling? As women, we must learn to accept our fate."

Why would she want to live such a miserable life?

In the past, she was protected by her sister and had no idea of ​​the wickedness of human nature. By the time she understood, her sister had passed away and she had lost the opportunity to set things right.

Over the years, it has been very difficult for her to protect the daughter left behind by her sister under the watchful eyes of Jiang Chongliang and Wang. How can she still do whatever she wants as before?

"Accept your fate? Accept what kind of fate?"

Jiang Deng sneered and said in a resounding voice, "If it means a life of overwhelming power and being worshipped by all, then I accept it. But if it means a life of being bullied and humiliated like you, I won't accept it!"

When saying this, Jiang Deng's eyes were firm, and there was no trace of cowardice on her face. Her delicate appearance blended with her complex aura, so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off her.

There was a hint of trance in Jiang Lingyun's eyes. She saw the shadow of her late sister in Jiang Deng, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

"...What is your purpose?" Jiang Lingyun realized that Jiang Deng had a big plan and asked.

Jiang Deng said directly: "Before I go to the Sword Sect to practice, I will get rid of Jiang Chongliang and his son. After that, I hope you, aunt, can become the head of the Jiang family."

Jiang Lingyun pondered for a moment, "Since you need me to be the head of the Jiang family, then I don't need your help. I can do this myself."

"Hey? You really don't need my help to kill Jiang Chongliang?"

Jiang Deng looked at Jiang Lingyun in surprise. She didn't expect that her aunt was so talented. She had underestimated her.

Jiang Lingyun looked at Jiang Deng gently. "Jiang Chongliang is your biological father after all. I've heard that cultivation has karma. I'm afraid killing your father will hinder your cultivation. I will bear the consequences of this karma alone. Deng'er, just be yourself."

So that's how it is...

After hearing this explanation, Jiang Deng felt warm in her heart. She felt the long-lost family affection from Jiang Lingyun, and her eyes couldn't help but soften a little.

"Aunt, if you run into any trouble, please let me know. This is a communication stone. To use it, just focus and speak into it."

Jiang Deng took out a communication stone from the storage bag, erased the original mark on it, and then established a connection with the other two communication stones. He would then wait for Jiang Zhiling to come back and give her another one. Then, no matter where the three of them were, they could talk to each other at any time.

“And this!”

Jiang Deng took out the only longevity pill from the storage bag. This was a low-grade yellow elixir that could not be used by immortal cultivators, but if taken by ordinary people, it could extend their lifespan by twenty to thirty years. It was priceless for princes and nobles.

Even when faced with this precious elixir that could increase lifespan, Jiang Lingyun's eyes showed no greed. She declined, saying, "Give it to Zhiling."

"Zhiling doesn't need it. She has a good aptitude for cultivating immortals. I will take her to the Sword Sect."

Jiang Lingyun then reached out to take it. She looked at Jiang Deng with a complicated expression, "Do you know that Zhiling is your biological sister?"

"Why?"

Jiang Deng widened her eyes slightly. She really didn't know this was happening.

Jiang Lingyun sighed and recounted everything. "Back then, Jiang Chongliang wanted the position of head of the family. My sister knew he wasn't up to the task and didn't want to leave the future of the Jiang family in his hands. So, while I was out on business, he bribed the midwife to give me drugs, hoping to kill two people at once. The midwife, feeling guilty, found a dead baby to replace the newborn Zhiling."

"By the time I came back, it was too late. My sister was already dead. I only had time to find Zhiling. I knew Jiang Chongliang wouldn't really treat Zhiling well, so I found a live-in son-in-law as a cover and raised Zhiling as my own daughter. Deng'er... Auntie is begging you to take care of Zhiling from now on."

Jiang Deng nodded, "That's natural."

Even if Jiang Lingyun didn't say these words, she would treat Jiang Zhiling well. Now that she knows that they are sisters, she will treat Jiang Zhiling even better.

Seeing that he had said everything he needed to say, Jiang Deng did not linger any longer. After saying goodbye, he turned around and left the yard.

Watching Jiang Deng's departing figure, Jiang Lingyun's eyes moistened slightly, "Sister, your two daughters are much more capable than us. If you knew this in the afterlife, you would rest in peace..."

Out of the yard.

Jiang Deng sighed. She never expected that Jiang Zhiling was actually her biological sister. Forget it, she would not tell Jiang Zhiling about this for the time being, so that she would not be unable to bear it.

Just as he was thinking, Jiang Deng raised his eyes and found that the entrance of the hall in front was full of people.

Why are these people gathering here if they don't work?

Jiang Deng frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"Miss," the servant beside her explained with a cheerful look on his face, "Another immortal master has arrived! The immortal master has come specially to take the young master to cultivate immortality!"

Why is there another immortal master here?

Jiang Deng was feeling strange when the crowd in front suddenly dispersed, and then a familiar male voice was heard from above the stairs.

"Are you the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Deng?"

Jiang Deng looked up and saw the young man in the golden robe who spoke walking out of the hall. Surrounded by Jiang Yuanyi and others, he was as dazzling as the moon surrounded by stars.

Isn't this the person who snatched the Golden Sand Dew from her? Why did he come to Jiang Mansion?

Jiang Deng frowned slightly, "Who are you?"

Feng Jiuyou crossed his arms and snorted coldly, "This prince is your future senior brother Feng Jiuyou. You can just call me Senior Brother Feng."

"Senior Brother?"

"Well, Senior Brother Xia didn't have time to pick you up, so Master sent me." Feng Jiuyou glanced at Jiang Yuanyi behind him and continued, "Now that everyone is here, let's set off and return to the Taichu Sword Sect with this prince."

Jiang Deng was so disdainful of Feng Jiuyou's attitude that he suddenly felt rebellious. He sneered, "Oh! Who said I want to go to Taichu Sword Sect with you?"

Feng Jiuyou had never expected Jiang Deng to say that, and his eyes widened instantly. "The Taichu Sword Sect is the largest sect in the Feiran Spiritual Realm. Countless geniuses have tried to enter but have been unable to, and you actually don't want to go!"

"Any questions?"

"No! You must go! The master has already given the order, and this prince must bring you back!"

The leader of the Taichu Sword Sect?

Jiang Deng frowned slightly. She was just a useless person with five spiritual roots. With such poor aptitude for cultivating immortality, the sect master actually insisted on letting her join the sect. How could this sound so abnormal...

"You rebellious girl! How dare you disobey the order of the Ninth Prince!" Jiang Chongliang roared angrily.

Jiang Deng raised an eyebrow and looked at Jiang Chongliang, "Why, the beating father received this morning doesn't hurt anymore, so he wants to be beaten again, right?"

"you!"

Jiang Chongliang's face turned pale instantly. There was still no news of the killer he sent out, but Jiang Deng returned safe and sound. It was self-evident what had happened in between.

Facing the sneer in Jiang Deng's eyes, Jiang Chongliang felt a burning pain in the wound on his chest. Especially when the servants cast strange looks at him, he felt even more uncomfortable standing there as if being pricked by needles. He immediately left in anger.

"Jiang Deng! Stop being so willful, this is a big deal for our Jiang family!"

Seeing his father was unwilling to intervene, Jiang Yuanyi had no choice but to step in and remind him: "Hurry up and apologize to the Ninth Prince! Tell him you want to go to the Taichu Sword Sect!"
