Injustice
The conflict between Bai Xiyan and Liu Wanshi was not as complicated as Lin Yunwang had imagined; it all started with the Liu siblings.
The Liu family was originally just an ordinary family, and they barely survived the initial Demon War only because they relied on the support of the three major cultivation clans. In return, they handed over their exclusive secret techniques to the cultivation clans.
At this point, Zhou Hengyan couldn't help but sigh, "It's pathetic to have wealth but no corresponding strength."
"It is indeed a sad thing."
When people talk about the Liu family now, they say they've lost their original integrity and are only interested in climbing the social ladder. However, their lives are much better than they were years ago. They've also produced two outstanding figures in the Jingyin Sect, Liu Wanshi and Liu Ruyi, so they can be considered to be enjoying immense prestige.
"Strictly speaking, of the two of them, only Liu Wanshi was brought to the Jingyin Sect by them, while Liu Ruyi was rescued by the sect leader by accident and subsequently taken as a disciple."
He listened for a long time, but Lin Yunwang didn't get to the point. He just listened quietly without interrupting or reminding him.
"Liu Ruyi was abandoned by her family because she was born unsuitable for secret techniques. But stories always have twists and turns. After she started cultivating in the Jingyin Sect, her strength increased dramatically. She was also a direct disciple of the Jingyin Sect's leader. The most ridiculous thing is that in order to win over Venerable Ninghua, the Liu family actually had Liu Ruyi deliver a message that they wanted to acknowledge their 'accidentally deceased' eldest daughter."
In fact, at the beginning of the breakup, Liu Ruyi even considered changing her surname to Ning, although her idea was rejected.
"Shortly afterward, she became drinking buddies with Senior Sister Bai. One day, after drinking, she poured out her grievances."
"As you know, Senior Sister Bai has always hated evil, and she was quite indignant upon hearing about this. She has also come to dislike Liu Wanshi."
However, her dislike for Liu Wanshi was not because he was a member of the Liu family, but because as a disciple of Jingyin, he lacked a firm mind and was constantly controlled by the family, following them regardless of right or wrong. Furthermore, his inaction in making his sister feel wronged was also a dereliction of duty on his part.
"I wonder what the Liu family thinks about Liu Ruyi's current strength far surpassing Liu Wanshi's." Zhou Hengyan's words sounded more like sarcasm than sentiment.
It is the superior's mockery of others for not seeing the truth, only it is not obvious.
This story caused Lin Yunwang to frown deeply, a look of frustration on his face. Although the Liu family's strength couldn't compare to that of a major cultivation clan, supporting a child with no apparent talent shouldn't be difficult.
"We've arrived." Zhou Hengyan gestured for us to continue. "That's all for today. Junior Sister, please get some rest."
The cultivation world originally belonged to the human world. The human world has a thousand kinds of emotions, and the cultivation world naturally has them as well, and even more so.
"Senior brother, you should also get some rest. When cleaning up the mess, don't just randomly teleport people into the courtyard." Upon hearing this, both of them were taken aback, their thoughts pulled back to that awkward night.
“Of course not,” Zhou Hengyan smiled and teased, “but you don’t help me with any work, so you’re asking for too much.”
Lin Yun blushed slightly, "Then let's..."
"It was just a joke."
The person in front of him flipped his wrist, and the silver hairpin that had been hidden for a long time appeared in his hand. "I have already made this silver hairpin. It is not a token of my feelings that day, but a gift for my junior sister."
Lin Yun was just thinking about how to refuse when he heard him say, "Don't refuse, it will put my mind at ease."
She suddenly remembered that Senior Sister Bai had mentioned that Senior Brother Zhou had been in low spirits since returning from the Zhou family. The Zhou family was one of the three major cultivation clans, and their situation should be more complicated than that of the Liu family. A strange feeling arose in her heart.
For some reason, Lin Yun raised her hand, and their hands touched briefly before separating. She took the hairpin from Zhou Hengyan's hand and said, "Thank you very much, Senior Brother."
That night, it was a receding figure.
