Zhao Yujiao was heartbroken and didn't want to answer, but she couldn't control her mouth.
"Gratitude? Don't be ridiculous. You don't deserve my gratitude. As for those worthless things, you're just too ignorant to even tell the difference between real and fake. What I gave you were cheap goods I bought in the market. You just don't know their value and treat them like treasures."
Zhao Yujiao sharply spoke her true feelings.
Lu Yuanshan and Lin Xianghua both found it hard to accept the truth.
They were always overjoyed to receive gifts from Zhao Yujiao, and would be happy for a long time.
But they felt that the gift of happiness was a counterfeit, a fake.
The valuable gifts they gave to Zhao Yujiao were all genuine.
"Isn't one of them genuine?"
Lin Xianghua, unwilling to give up, asked again.
Even if the gift Zhao Yujiao gave was genuine, it wouldn't be worth even a tenth of the value of the gifts they gave her.
"Yes, the jade you bought me is worth 100,000, but the diamond necklace I gave you is only worth a few dollars. The diamond is glass; the valuable part is the silver chain. You gave me a house, and the silk scarf I bought you was fake..."
Unable to control herself, Zhao Yujiao answered truthfully, revealing many things she had received and sent back.
The jewelry and clothes given to Lin Xianghua were all worthless.
The cigarettes, alcohol, and tea given to Lu Yuanshan were all counterfeit, and the antiques he received were all fakes.
Lu Yuanshan and Lin Xianghua treasured what she gave them, reluctant to wear it, drink from it, or even have it appraised. They also couldn't bear to doubt her gratitude, so until now, if it weren't for the truth-revealing talisman, they would never have known the truth.
"Hahaha, karma, it's all karma..."
Lu Yuanshan laughed wildly.
Tears streamed down Lin Xianghua's face. The thought that Zhao Yujiao wasn't their daughter pained her deeply.
She and Lu Yuanshan schemed and plotted, but in the end, they only benefited others.
While they were harming Zhao Zhiyuan and Lu Xuelian, retribution had already befallen them.
"Waaah... Mom and Dad, I know I was wrong. I'll change in the future. I'll definitely take good care of you..."
"Ah—help!"
Zhao Yujiao was filled with fear. She wanted to say that she would change, but as soon as she spoke, she felt a sharp pain in her heart.
The punishment of the truth-telling talisman was unbearable for her; she would suffer excruciating pain whenever she told a lie.
No matter how pitiful she appears, her true thoughts will not change.
Her show of weakness was simply because she didn't want to lose all her wealth and status.
"Telling lies will bring you excruciating pain; it's all retribution!"
Lu Yuanshan stared at Zhao Yujiao with a sarcastic look in his eyes.
Zhao Yujiao's face turned pale with pain. Knowing the power of the Truth-Revealing Talisman, she dared not speak again.
But she was unwilling to give up. She looked at Lu Yuanshan and suddenly asked, "If I'm a liar, then what about you? You said you'd give 300,000 yuan to a child, is that really true?"
Lu Yuanshan was taken aback, then smiled and replied, "Of course it's true. Giving you 300,000 to that beast didn't make a sound, and giving it to that bitch Yuanzhen didn't bring any good results either. Only by giving it to this child did I get the most reassuring answer."
Lu Yuanshan felt like vomiting blood just thinking about it.
Over the years, they have made a lot of money, and they have also given Yuanzhen a huge sum of money in return.
But Yuanzhen deceived them.
They gave Zhao Yujiao a lot, and Zhao Yujiao also lied to them.
They gave Su Tiantian 300,000 yuan; Su Tiantian didn't lie to them.
Because he was telling the truth, Lu Yuanshan did not suffer any backlash.
"Those who harm others will ultimately harm themselves."
Liu Xiaohua couldn't help but sigh. She accompanied Su Tiantian on this long trip, hoping to take care of her, since it would be convenient for her as a woman.
I never expected to witness such a bizarre thing in person.
After reading this, Liu Xiaohua felt even more strongly that one should not commit acts of immorality, otherwise there would definitely be retribution.
Everyone fell silent.
Yuan Zhen hadn't arrived yet, so Su Tiantian went straight to examine Lin the Blind's backpack.
Lin the Blind was extremely pleased with himself, but he remained aloof on the surface: "These are just so-so. The real treasures are hidden away. It's a pity you won't become my apprentice, otherwise mine would be yours."
After finishing speaking, Lin the Blind was worried that Su Tiantian wouldn't understand, so he said directly, "Su Tiantian, how about you become my disciple and I teach you all my skills?"
Upon hearing the news of becoming an apprentice, Su Tiantian, who had initially been very interested, put down her things.
She really liked the whisk, but after thinking about it, she took it out and returned it to Blind Lin.
Lin the Blind was completely stunned; he felt like his blood vessels were about to burst.
"Why, why, why!"
"I can't believe it," Lin the Blind asked excitedly.
Why is it that a three-year-old girl is so averse to becoming a disciple?
It's just about becoming her apprentice; it doesn't mean I have to eat her after becoming her apprentice.
Su Tiantian pouted, "It's too troublesome, there are too many rules and I'm not free..."
Humans are full of thoughts; even a simple phrase like "a teacher's kindness is greater than the sky" can weigh someone down. Her mother will love her forever, but her teacher might not.
Today you're a good apprentice, but tomorrow you'll be cleaning house if you're unhappy.
If the master asks for this or that, and the apprentice refuses, it's considered unfilial.
You cannot worship him, you cannot worship him.
Upon hearing this, Blind Lin nearly ripped all the hair off his head.
If this were directed at Liu Yuan, he would have already given him a good scolding and even strangled him, but facing Su Tiantian, he felt extremely powerless.
He fumbled and pushed the whisk back: "There's no reason to return something that's been given away. You think it's too troublesome and there are too many rules? Then I'll just set fewer rules."
"How much less? This much? This much or this much?"
Su Tiantian gestured with her hand in Lin Xiazi's palm, asking how many rules there were.
Lin the Blind knows a lot because he is an extraordinary person. Su Tiantian cannot directly and seamlessly perceive what he knows; she has to use divine power for Lin the Blind to know.
Lin the Blind is far, far more capable than Hu Tianming.
Su Tiantian was somewhat tempted. She also wanted to learn the magic of the human world, but becoming an apprentice was a big deal, and she dared not be careless.
"Uh... I don't know either, no one has ever measured these rules..."
Blind Lin was truly stumped.
The proper etiquette for becoming an apprentice is generally accepted in the industry.
How should an apprentice behave? How should a master behave?
No one bothers to calculate exactly how many rules there are.
However, he also understood that Su Tiantian meant she wanted to know exactly how many rules there were.
"How about this, I'll go back and organize the disciple rules, then you can take a look at them, and if they're suitable, you can become my disciple, okay?"
After figuring things out, Blind Lin immediately made a decision: he would not give up on this apprentice.
"I'll give you an answer after I've looked into it."
Su sweet dessert.
Lin the Blind Man breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Okay, take whatever you like in my backpack."
Here you go, here you go, I'll give you everything.
Su Tiantian smiled brightly and happily began to study the subject again. The person was really smart. She wanted to learn to be smart too, because it would definitely come in handy when she returned to the Dragon Clan.
