Jingyang City, Wenren Mansion.
"Miss, is Young Master Fufeng really Chi Yuan? How could he have suffered such a tragic fate..."
In Wenren Bingying's boudoir, Xiaoqin's eyes reddened as she looked at the stack of intelligence in Wenren Bingying's hand.
Wenren Bingying's eyes were also filled with tears, her heart aching.
Upon returning from the auction, Wenren Bingying immediately mobilized the Wenren family's intelligence network to investigate information about Chi Yuan from the Shenxiao Sect and Jintian City, where Chi Yuan's family was located. As a result, she learned that Chi Yuan was subsequently estranged from his parents, expelled from his family, and had his engagement broken off by his fiancée's family.
"No wonder Young Master Fufeng was unwilling to show his true face; it turns out he had experienced such great misfortune..."
Wenren Bingying felt a pang of heartache. She thought that she was already unfortunate enough to have been criticized and belittled for breaking off her engagement with Ye Chen, but compared to the suffering that Chi Yuan had gone through, her misfortune was nothing.
"The problem isn't you, it's the world."
Recalling what Chi Yuan had said back then, Wenren Bingying finally understood Chi Yuan's feelings, but this understanding broke her heart.
"Hmph, it must be that Ye Chen who did it!"
Xiaoqin said indignantly, "It must be because he's jealous of Young Master Fufeng, so he's secretly framing him and trying to drive him away!"
"That's right, it must be Ye Chen's doing!"
Wenren Bingying wholeheartedly agreed. She didn't believe that Chi Yuan was the kind of person who would deliberately use the effects of the Divine Incense to bully his junior sister. Not to mention that this contradicted Chi Yuan's reputation in the Divine Firmament Sect and her understanding of his character, just looking at the behavior of Chi Yuan's three junior sisters at the auction, she knew that Chi Yuan had no reason to do such a thing.
She clearly remembered that Ning Wan'er, the junior sister who was defiled by Chi Yuan in this incident, had said that she was willing to be Chi Yuan's wife or concubine when she reunited with Chi Yuan at the auction. If Chi Yuan really had ulterior motives towards her, why would Ning Wan'er need to use such a clumsy and despicable means when she had such a good attitude towards Chi Yuan?
Therefore, the truth of the matter must be that Ye Chen, who entered the secret realm with Chi Yuan and Ning Wan'er, used some despicable means to frame Chi Yuan in the dark!
As for the reason for the framing, it is probably mostly because of Chi Yuan's junior sisters. Rumor has it that Chi Yuan wants to build a harem, but it is probably not Chi Yuan who really wants to build a harem, but Ye Chen.
Wenren Bingying felt that she was pretty close to the truth. At the auction, she sensed that Ning Wan'er and the other two were acting strangely towards Ye Chen, clearly distancing themselves from him and deliberately keeping their distance.
Looking back now, most of Chi Yuan's junior sisters probably guessed that Ye Chen was framing Chi Yuan, but they didn't confront him because they lacked evidence.
And Chi Yuan...
Thinking about Chi Yuan refining pills for her, Wenren Bingying guessed that perhaps Chi Yuan had long suspected that Ye Chen was framing her, and refining pills for her was his revenge against Ye Chen.
Could it be... that Chi Yuan hopes to use her to make Ye Chen lose miserably?
"Bingying, come out and see me."
At that moment, a gentle voice transmission reached Wenren Bingying's ear.
It's Master!
Wenren Bingying immediately left her boudoir to greet An Yuxi.
When they arrived at the main hall, Wenren Ting and Jiang Wanqing were already there, but they did not sit in the main seats at the head of the table. Instead, they stood respectfully beside the guest seats at the foot of the table.
There were three people seated in the guest seats: Feng Yaoyao, An Yuxi, and Chi Yuan.
"Master."
Upon seeing An Yuxi, Wenren Bingying called out in a clear, bell-like voice. Then, her gaze shifted to the pretty young woman beside her parents, and she was startled. "Grandmaster has come too?"
She quickly walked over and respectfully greeted him: "Bingying greets Grandmaster."
"Awoo."
Feng Yaoyao held a demon core the size of a fist in her hand, took a bite, and mumbled as she chewed, "Little girl, no need for formalities."
"Thank you, Grandmaster."
Wenren Bingying spoke in a clear voice, then greeted her master An Yuxi before looking at Chi Yuan sitting to the side, her eyes shining brightly as she said, "Young Master Fufeng, you're here too!"
"No respect for elders, call him Uncle-Master."
An Yuxi spoke up softly in rebuke.
"Ah? Martial Uncle?"
Wenren Bingying was stunned for a moment, then looked at An Yuxi in confusion, "Master, how did Young Master Fufeng become my uncle?"
"Because I took him as my disciple."
Feng Yaoyao said leisurely, "Now he is your master's junior brother, so of course you have to call him 'Shishu' (junior uncle)."
"this……"
Wenren Bingying's expression immediately became quite interesting.
How come Chi Yuan has become her master's junior brother after only half a day?
How did she suddenly become her senior martial uncle?!
Wenren Bingying, looking pitiful and wronged, approached Chi Yuan and gracefully curtsied, saying, "Bingying greets Martial Uncle."
Huh?
Upon hearing the title "Uncle-Master," Wenren Bingying found herself inexplicably not resistant, and even... felt a faint sense of excitement.
"Miss Bingying, there's no need for such formalities."
Chi Yuan also felt a little uncomfortable, as it was his first time being a senior disciple.
The way he addressed her as "Miss Bingying" delighted Wenren Bingying, showing that Chi Yuan still regarded her as an equal!
"Thank you, Uncle-Master."
Wenren Bingying smiled slightly and thanked him in a sweet voice, this time the greeting came out very smoothly.
She had already made up her mind: in public, Chi Yuan would be her martial uncle, but in private, Chi Yuan would still be her Floating Wind Prince!
Wen Renting and Jiang Wanqing exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes. Who would have thought that Chi Yuan would be of the same generation as them in the blink of an eye? If their daughter marries Chi Yuan in the future, how should their generation be determined?
"Master, Grandmaster, is there something important that you have come to my house this time?"
