"Why should I apologize to her? Am I wrong? She's a bastard, a worthless child born of a mortal woman!" Mi Xi roared angrily, pointing at Mi Wei, "The elders of the clan have all said that she has defiled the bloodline of my Hidden Sect, the Mi Clan! If it weren't for the fact that she has some talent for cultivation and is a girl who can marry out, our Mi Clan would have executed her long ago and wiped out the Mi Clan's bloodline!"

Not only Mi Wei, but even Mi Tang'an couldn't stand these words.

The elders did say this when the sect leader brought Mi Wei back.

But later, Mi Wei proved herself worthy, and the entire clan accepted her as the eldest daughter, and no one mentioned the past anymore.

Now that Mi Xi has revealed this, it will probably break Mi Wei's heart.

Looking at Mi Wei, whose face was as white as paper, with a pang of heartache, Mi Tang'an sternly stopped her, saying, "Second Miss, you've gone too far!"

"What? I didn't make this up, it's all my mother's doing..."

"Smack!"

Mi Xi's hysterical roar was abruptly silenced by a slap from Ji Fenghua.

Five slightly red finger marks were starkly visible on Mi Xi's fair face.

"You hit me?" Mi Xi covered her face in disbelief and looked at Ji Fenghua, her round eyes filled with tears.

"I'm sorry, Xi'er, I...I...it's not..." Ji Fenghua panicked as well.

He had never laid a hand on anyone close to him before, but just now, for some reason, he was overcome with anger and struck.

"My parents have never laid a finger on me in all my life, and you... how dare you hit me!"

Mi Xi's gaze towards Ji Fenghua gradually filled with hatred and madness.

Mi Wei had a bad feeling and went up to pull Mi Xi away: "Xi'er, stop making a fuss. I know you're just saying things in anger. I won't take it to heart. Let's go home first, and we can talk about it slowly when we get home, okay?"

"Don't pull me!" Mi Xi forcefully shook off Mi Wei's hand, crying out, "Don't pretend to comfort me here. Do you think I don't know you're trying to excuse this thing? You think he's handsome and want to snatch him away from me too? No way!"

Ji Fenghua was somewhat stunned: Dongxi, Xi'er just called him Dongxi?

"Don't forget, he's a demon, a demon born to die. If I can't take him as my demonic pet, he's doomed, and no one can save him." Mi Xi pointed her slender finger straight at Ji Fenghua's face, shouting out her true thoughts.

Ji Fenghua: "..."

It felt like a pure white mushroom cloud exploded in my mind!

Originally, he thought it was the warm and gentle Xi'er;

Xi'er, who thought he didn't mind, had only ever treated him as a pet!

It turns out that, apart from family, no one in this world is willing to unconditionally warm your heart.

Before leaving Dazhao, her sister repeatedly warned them that after arriving in the world of cultivators, no matter whether they encountered men or women, old or young, strong or weak, they must always remember: "One should not have the heart to harm others, but one should not be without the heart to guard against others."

But in the midst of the chaos and panic, he completely forgot about it.

"Xi'er, that's enough!" For the first time in her life, Mi Wei yelled at Mi Xi, even trying to cover Mi Xi's outspoken mouth: "From childhood to adulthood, have I ever competed with you for anything? But Feng Hua, he is a human being, you can't treat him like this!"

"Hehe, you all say I'm bewitched by demons, sister, I think you're the one who's bewitched by demons," Mi Xi mocked Mi Wei.
