An Zhengzheng noticed the changes in An Mao.

Her father, who had been on her side just a few days ago, suddenly seemed to have changed his mind and wanted to arrange a marriage for her without her consent.

"Father, our previous agreement is now null and void, isn't it?"

An Zhengzheng already had a guess in her mind, but she asked this question simply to hear him confirm it himself.

Looking at An Zhengzheng's cold words, An Mao felt a pang of pity and asked himself if he truly loved her.

But a daughter is a daughter, and even if she becomes incredibly successful in the future, she will still be a daughter.

He sighed, his tone firm: "In the past, I indulged your foolishness for far too long."

An Zhengzheng looked up at him and asked, "Why is it invalid?"

If it's the Zhou family's wealth... An Zhengzheng didn't believe that An Mao couldn't see the potential of the Hundred Women's Pavilion; those novel things were unique in the cultivation world.

"Reputation, status, power, or magic weapon?"

An Zhengzheng threw them out one by one.

Which one could have caused such a drastic change in An Mao?

An Mao shook his head and advised An Zhengzheng, "Stop guessing."

"son?"

An Mao paused instantly when he said this.

He even took several steps back and bumped into the stone table behind him.

His daughter, she found out!

Based on An Zhengzheng's understanding of her father, she knew she had guessed correctly.

She found it hilarious: "So in the end, it's still because I'm a daughter?"

Anmao answered her with silence.

He loves his daughter very much and has seen Zhengzheng's hard work over the years. He doesn't want Zhengzheng to be sad because of this.

But Zhengzheng still guessed it.

With forced marriage looming, her father tore up the contract, intending to use her entire life as leverage in negotiations with the Zhou family.

An Zhengzheng no longer cared about An Mao's feelings.

She glanced at the composed Zhou family members and continued to speculate, "Father is injured and can't have children. So what can the Zhou family do? Adopt a child to settle down?"

Upon hearing this, apart from the calm Zhou family members, the An family members were shocked and looked at An Mao.

Especially Madam An, who asked An Mao in disbelief, "...Is what Zhengzheng said true?"

Wasn't it said that Zhengzheng's mother was the one who couldn't have children?

Anmao's face looked terrible.

He was both shocked that An Zhengzheng knew about it and furious that his hidden illness had been made public.

He asked An Zhengzheng, his voice trembling, "How...how did you know?"

Could it be that Jingniang told her?

An Zhengzheng smiled: "Father, have you forgotten? When Yi Rou turned one year old, you told Mother that she still couldn't be cured... and I was resting on the bed."

"Impossible!" He shook his head, his tone full of doubt. "You were only two years old that year! What child would remember something from when they were two?"

Ordinary children wouldn't do that.

But An Zhengzheng was a woman in her early twenties back then.

An Zhengzheng smiled and told him a lot of things. An Mao's voice trembled as he listened.

"How could you possibly know all this..."

This means they are acknowledging An Zhengzheng's words.

Everyone present, including the Zhou family, was shocked. Zhou Xu couldn't believe it, and even Master Qingxu's eyes showed surprise.

"A genius! An Zhengzheng is the real genius!" a member of the Zhou family couldn't help but exclaim.

No wonder, no wonder he was able to defeat Zhou Xu. How could a two- or three-year-old child have such memory and ability?

They don't even know what the adults are doing, and they can't understand the words the adults are saying.

But even after more than a decade, An Zhengzheng could still recite it. With such an ability, her cultivation techniques were far superior to those of her peers!

After recuperation, Zhou Xu's health has improved significantly, and his complexion is now pale.

Does he remember so many things from when he was two years old? No, he doesn't remember any of them!

At that moment, Zhou Xu felt as if he had suffered a tremendous blow.

If An Zhengzheng is the genius, then what is he?

Zhou Rongsheng's expression was extremely grim; the An family had actually produced such a formidable figure.

"No, I heard my disciple is getting married? Why didn't you call me over?"

Master Suotang entered from outside, a smile still on his lips, but his eyes were sharp.

He heard it all! These people are pressuring him to get married!

"You are... True Person Wushang, right?" An Mao was a little nervous. True Persons who could reach the Nascent Soul stage were not people that cultivation families could afford to offend.

Master Suotang shook his head and said, "Sect Master of the Pill Sect, Suotang."

"Master Suotang? Is that the genius from a thousand years ago..." The Zhou family was very surprised. "...Wait a minute, when did An Zhengzheng start cultivating the Pill Sect?"

Madam An and An Mao were also completely baffled.

Master Suotang glanced at An Zhengzheng and asked her, "Don't other people know that you cultivate both the Path of Ruthlessness and the Pill Sect?"

Why does this apprentice carry everything on his own?!

Don't they know to call him in to back things up? Anyway, Master Wushang can't be relied on!

Zhou Xu was even more devastated!

His body, which had been recovering, was ultimately aggravated, and a metallic taste of blood rose in his throat.

An Zhengzheng lowered her eyes and said, "Master."

Suo Tang Zhenren said he found it very helpful.

He looked at everyone, his expression not good, and his tone was very serious: "My disciple has said long ago that she will not marry and that is that. If any of you have the idea of ​​forcing my disciple to marry, I, Suo Tang, will be the first to disagree."

These words signify a final decision.

Nowadays, no one from either the An family or the Zhou family dares to speak up.

Those who did not stay in a sect were people who had risen to a certain level, but for various reasons had no hope of ascending to immortality, so they made a living by doing business in the cultivation world.

In other words, they were all eliminated.

No one from any of the major sects can afford to offend the masters.

Looking at An Zhengzheng's calm face, An Mao suddenly thought of something, and an idea rose in his mind.

He asked An Zhengzheng, "Zhengzheng, did you know this day would come? Did you want to leave the An family all along?"

"I guess so." An Zhengzheng was very calm. She looked directly at An Mao without the slightest bit of guilt.

She said calmly, "What I've always wanted is to have control over my own life."

As a member of the An family, she knew all too well that families of cultivators sent their children to sects to cultivate, hoping that their sons would ascend to immortality.

As for the daughter, she is to train in skills so that she can marry and assist her husband and family in the future.

In other words, it's about gilding the lily, making it easier for the girls in the clan to get married. They never believed that their daughters could ascend to heaven, and they felt that it was shameful for their daughters not to get married.

Those who can repair talismans and artifacts can supplement their household income after marriage.

The woman went to the Beast Taming Sect and had experience raising children.

Needless to say, the Hehuan Sect is another example.

“Back then, the medicine given to girls in the charity hall was turned into swords for boys, and I was powerless to stop it. Things are different now.”

She found herself a larger refuge.

The An family would not casually give her away to any family, not even the Zhou family.

From the day she resolved to pave the way for female cultivators everywhere, she began preparing for it.

I never expected that the engagement and marriage proposal would be brought forward by hundreds of years.

She thought that this situation would only occur when she reached the Golden Core stage and "became too old to get married".
