The Chu couple and Chu Huanzhao were completely oblivious to the shifting expressions on the two men's faces, and were shocked to hear that Chu Chuyan's vital energy had been completely destroyed.

Although the fact that Chu Chuyan was standing safely in front of them proved that she was alright, the Chu couple still got up to check her pulse.

After confirming that her vital energy was intact, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. Chu Zhongtian was fine, but Qin Wanru was still not satisfied and glared at Zu An fiercely: "It's all because of saving you that our Chu Yan was almost crippled. You're such a troublemaker."

Qin Wanru's anger level increased by 481!

Zuan: "???"

Holy crap, it's like being caught in the crossfire!

Were we enemies in our past life? Otherwise, why do you find fault with everything I do?

Chu Huanzhao, who was still angry with Zu'an, was also displeased upon hearing her words: "Mother, what you're saying is going too far. What does this have to do with my brother-in-law?"

Qin Wanru glanced at her and said, "Xiao Zhao, you must remember that being born into a family like ours means you have to know how to weigh the pros and cons. The same life has different values ​​for different people. If you encounter a situation like this in the future, I will not object to you saving people if it is just a small favor. But if it will bring danger to yourself, you should get out of there in time."

At this moment, Chu Chuyan frowned and said, "Mother, if Zu'an hadn't found the extremely precious 'Illusory Lotus of No Trace' for me to take, I would have died long ago, not to mention that he later saved me..."

Qin Wanru snorted: "If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have been in danger at all. Isn't it only right that he saved you?"

Chu Chuyan frowned slightly. Although she had always known that her mother had a strong personality, she hadn't thought much of it before, but now she felt that her mother was being a bit unreasonable.

Fortunately, Chu Zhongtian spoke up: "Alright, alright. After all, the Illusory Lotus of No Trace not only saved Chu Yan, but also helped her cultivation level jump by a whole major level. In a way, we should thank our Ancestor. Ancestor, don't mind her. Your mother-in-law was just concerned about Chu Yan's safety and spoke without thinking. Don't take it to heart."

Qin Wanru frowned, but ultimately did not refute her husband's words.

"Father-in-law, you're overthinking it. I understand, of course." Zu An was also frustrated. What could he do? He was helpless.

Qin Wanru is the mother of the two sisters. I can neither hit her nor kill her. How am I supposed to get my revenge?

While the Chu family was discussing these matters, in a secluded courtyard of the prefect, Sang Hong was also listening to Zheng Dan recount the events that had occurred in the secret realm.

Zheng Dan was extremely reserved in front of her future father-in-law, not daring to make the slightest mistake, and told him everything she knew and speculated about.

Looking at the gentle and classical woman in front of him, Sang Hong nodded secretly. His future daughter-in-law was a top choice in terms of both appearance and temperament. Although she sometimes overdid it and seemed a bit fake, a little shrewdness was not a bad thing. Her personality was just right to make up for his son's impulsiveness.

After listening, Sang Hong sighed deeply: "I thought Shi Kun's plan was too petty before, but I thought that if his plan could succeed, it would be good for everyone, and I wouldn't have to get involved in sin. Unfortunately, his plan has now completely failed, so it's my turn to take action myself. Sigh, I really didn't want it to come to this."

I walked around the Skywalk today, and my legs are still weak. At the time, I thought that martial arts novels were all lies, that there were martial arts secrets if you fell off a cliff. Falling off such a straight and steep cliff would definitely mean certain death.

This is probably the only chapter I'll write today. Adding what I owed before, I now owe three chapters. To express my apology, I've decided to add one more chapter in the future, making it four chapters in total.
