Su Ruoshan has been very weak these past few days and has been recuperating in her own courtyard. After all, she lost half of her blood, and the herbal medicines that the Su family used to replenish her blood and qi were too weak, leaving her dizzy and unable to get out of bed. Therefore, she was unaware of what had happened in the Su family these past two days.
I was finally feeling a bit better today when I heard this news.
"Su Qing has drawn in Qi? She, she drew in Qi so quickly?" Su Ruoshan felt her chest heaving and almost couldn't catch her breath.
“That’s right, didn’t your father give her the Su family’s cultivation method? She even went to the library to read the original. She actually managed to cultivate Qi into her body in just one day and one night. Isn’t that too heaven-defying? I really didn’t expect that someone with only three spiritual roots would have such outstanding cultivation talent.” Ling Wanrou said, “Just now, when the three elders brought people over, she actually disemboweled Su Huan and even killed Su Yan!”
Su Ruoshan looked incredulous.
"No, how could she be so strong! Unless, unless..."
Unless she was reborn as well.
What other explanation is there?
Having cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage in his previous life, he was reborn and was able to draw Qi into his body in just one day and one night, and even defeated Su Huan and Su Yan.
Yes, that must be it!
Su Ruoshan bit her lip, thinking to herself, "Fine, Su Qing, so what if you've been reborn? In this life, I'll join the Cloud Sword Sect and steal your opportunity. I'll definitely get my revenge!"
Ling Wanrou continued, "Now look what's happened! Su Qing's biological mother is just a beautiful woman. It's one thing to record her in the family genealogy, but to do that is to record her as a deceased wife! What does she take me, her lawfully wedded wife, for? I was thinking that your eldest uncle could stand up for your mother, but I didn't expect that once he heard that Su Qing had entered the Qi body, he wouldn't stand on your mother's side anymore."
"Ruoshan, because of your insistence on going to the Cloud Sword Sect, neither of us has any standing in the Su family anymore!" Ling Wanrou cried. "You have to prove me right! Is what you said about three years to establish the Foundation Establishment stage and ten years to form the Core Formation stage true? Will I even live to see that day?"
"Mother, I'll go and meet her right now. It's just a matter of guiding qi into the body, what's there to be so arrogant about! Help me up, I, I can subdue her right now." Su Ruoshan said, trying to get up, but due to excessive blood loss, she was extremely dizzy.
Ling Wanrou quickly helped her up, saying, "Ruoshan, you should lie down and rest. It's just that she wants to have her name written on the family tree, it's just an empty title, I'll just swallow this."
"Mother, no! This isn't so easy," Su Ruoshan said. "Mother, I am the legitimate daughter of the Su family. How can she, a concubine's daughter born to a beautiful woman, dare to step on my head? I won't accept this!"
"But, Ruoshan, your body..."
Su Ruoshan grabbed Ling Wanrou's hand and said, "Mother, call in the two maids who are sweeping the yard, and then you take your people and leave the yard. Wait for me for a quarter of an hour."
Ling Wanrou didn't know what Su Ruoshan was going to do, so she could only do as she was told.
The two maids sweeping and cleaning in Su Ruoshan's courtyard were only fourteen or fifteen years old. They were ordinary people that the Su family had bought from outside, and they did some odd jobs in the courtyard.
Su Ruoshan looked at the two of them, a red light flashing in her eyes!
"ah!"
"ah!"
Two screams rang out as Su Ruoshan's hands plunged into the necks of the two maids, gushing blood. However, the blood was drawn by a crimson aura emanating from Su Ruoshan's fingertips, forming a thin line of blood that fell into Su Ruoshan's mouth.
In the time it takes to burn half an incense stick, Su Ruoshan wiped her blood-red lips, and there was no trace of the pale look she had taken when she lost too much blood and couldn't get out of bed.
Her face was rosy, her lips and eyes were red, and her eyes were flashing with a fierce red light.
But in just a moment, she concealed everything and returned to her original form.
Two drained corpses lay quietly on the ground. Su Ruoshan glanced at them sideways, her expression full of disgust.
In her previous life, her cultivation was destroyed and her dantian was shattered, making it impossible for her to cultivate. So she turned to demonic cultivation.
She had hoped to join the Cloud Sword Sect in this life and cultivate in peace, but one misfortune after another occurred. Her father disagreed with her degrading herself by joining the Cloud Sword Sect, so she could only draw a serious illness talisman to use on herself. Now, because Su Qing has shown her talent, she has to drink human blood to recover as quickly as possible and improve her cultivation.
Su Ruoshan has now reached the third level of Qi Refining.
Ling Wanrou pushed the door open and saw the two mummified corpses lying on the ground. Her face turned pale with fright. She looked at Su Ruoshan, who had recovered, standing by the bed, and her whole body trembled.
Ling Wanrou also knew about demonic cultivators and had heard that they were bloodthirsty and could improve their cultivation by devouring human blood.
But she never dreamed that her daughter, Su Ruoshan, was actually a demonic cultivator.
It should be noted that all major sects regard demonic cultivators as enemies and have always united to eliminate them. Even their own cultivation families would not hesitate to fight against demonic cultivators.
“Ruoshan, you…” Ling Wanrou pointed at Su Ruoshan, her fingertips trembling.
"Mother, you don't want to watch Su Qing's biological mother's name be recorded in the family genealogy, do you? Especially as a deceased wife?" Su Ruoshan asked.
"But, but, you..."
“Mother, I did all this for you. I’ve fully recovered now, and my cultivation has reached the third level of Qi Refining. Isn’t this enough to make Father change his mind?” Su Ruoshan asked.
Ling Wanrou was still trembling with fear, but she didn't say anything more.
Even if Su Ruoshan in front of her is a demon cultivator, she is still her daughter. Moreover, her daughter did all this for her.
Finally, Ling Wanrou took a deep breath, suppressing the fear in her heart. Yes, Su Ruoshan was her daughter, and a daughter with exceptional talent at that. She was her only support, and she had to stand on Su Ruoshan's side.
"Ruoshan, it's just two maids who were cleaning and sweeping who died." Ling Wanrou said, putting the two corpses into her storage bag.
Su Ruoshan's lips curled up.
"I knew Mom loved me the most!"
Su Ruoshan took Ling Wanrou's arm and said, "Come on, Mother, let's go to the ancestral hall. With me here today, Su Qing won't get away with it."
At the ancestral hall, Su Yingcheng had already obtained the family genealogy and was preparing to add Su Qing's mother's name to the genealogy.
Su Yingcheng had long forgotten who Su Qing's mother was. As for her name, he just slept with her and never asked.
"Yun Xintong." Su Qing read the name aloud, then looked at Su Yingcheng with a cold expression.
Yun Xintong gave birth to a daughter for the Su family, and even died after losing all her essence and blood, leaving behind not even a name. As for Su Yingcheng, he probably doesn't even remember sleeping with such a beauty.
Su Yingcheng raised his brush, dipped it in golden ink, and was about to put pen to paper when the door of the ancestral hall was suddenly pushed open.
Su Ruoshan stood at the door with Ling Wanrou on her arm.
"Father, I disagree!" Su Ruoshan shouted. "I am the legitimate daughter of the Su family. She is just a concubine's daughter born to a beautiful woman. She has no chance of gaining the protection of the Su family patriarch!"
