A rich fragrance wafted in from outside the door, and Mu Furong, her face slightly pale, gracefully entered, carrying the scent of tranquility.

As soon as she entered, Mu Furong glared at Shang Xiye, Ji Fengming, and Hei Xiao with a venomous look.

He wished he could tear off a layer of skin from the three of them immediately, then rip out their tendons and skin; his hatred was obvious.

Upon seeing her, the elders of the Hidden Sect all wore unfriendly expressions.

It's not that the sect leader's wife can't participate in their discussions, but rather that they don't want Mu Furong to participate.

Firstly, the methods used by the Mu family to help Mu Furong rise to power were not entirely honorable, which was disliked by the Mi family members.

Secondly, Mu Furong was a truly exceptional mistress.

In other words, Mi Feng was so focused on cultivation that he couldn't see it, but the others saw through Mu Furong's true nature.

Just by looking at how Mu Furong treated Mi Wei and how she taught Mi Xi, one can see a glimpse of her character from the two children.

Mi Feng was even more displeased with Mu Furong's behavior at this moment. His face immediately darkened, and he said bluntly, "This is where the sect elders hold their meetings. You shouldn't be here."

"I may not participate in your discussions, but as Xi'er's mother, I still have a say in her affairs, don't I?" Mu Furong said, her eyes reddening, and turned to Ji Fengming, gritting her teeth, "It was clearly their people who were possessed by demons and kidnapped my Xi'er. Now that Xi'er's whereabouts are unknown, why should we greet them with smiles and treat them as honored guests?"

I heard that the patriarch also gave them the life-saving items that were originally meant for our Hidden Sect.

"My lord, esteemed elders, I truly do not understand the logic behind this utterly upside-down approach!"

"If you hadn't raised Xi'er to be so unruly, willful, and lawless, how could she have suffered this calamity?" For the first time in public, Mi Feng turned his face completely cold towards Mu Furong and said sternly, "If you want to reason, go back and wait, and I will explain things to you clearly; don't try to distort the truth and make trouble here."

Having sat on the throne of the sect leader's wife for hundreds of years, Mu Furong had become accustomed to enjoying the glory of being high above others.

Suddenly being rebuked by Mi Feng in front of everyone without any mercy, Mu Furong felt a surge of anger rush to her head and immediately exploded.

“Mi Feng, Xi’er is missing. You don’t care, you don’t go out to look for her, and that’s fine. But you even treat that demon’s relatives as honored guests. How can you be so cold-blooded! She is your own flesh and blood, the only legitimate young lady of the Hidden Sect!”

Roaring, Mu Furong turned her attention to the elders, including Mi Tang'an: "And you, the ancestor was senile and confused before his death, which led him to act recklessly. Are you all senile too? How could you let them take away the ancestor's things?"

That little monster was indeed a monster. Did they really not know that at all?

Don't you have even the slightest suspicion that they were actually in cahoots with that little demon all along?

Several elders were so enraged by Mu Furong's words that their faces turned red and their hair stood on end; they were practically ready to jump up and hit her.

What kind of upbringing could enable her to insult the ancestor who had just given back all the living beings of the Hidden Sect with all his cultivation?

A loud slap rang out.

Hibiscus was almost knocked away.

"Shut up!" Mi Feng stood up angrily, pointing at the hibiscus on the ground and roaring, "You shameless woman who has no sense of propriety, how can you be worthy of being the mistress of the Hidden Sect, how can you be worthy of being Xi'er's mother? Xi'er's life has been ruined by you!"
