Just as netizens around the world were debating the topic of cultivating immortality, condemning Zheng Ya for his selfish funding of China's global dominance, his attempt to enslave people worldwide to serve them, his efforts to curry favor with powerful figures in the cultivation world to beg for cultivation techniques and resources, his betrayal of global interests, and his demands for explanations and the release of benefits for those who cultivate immortality, Zheng Ya returned to his home in the Moon Palace.
Fu Qingyao, Xu Qi, and Zheng Xing greeted them at the door, all with strange expressions, showing no sign of joy.
What does this mean?
Zheng Wang pouted, not quite understanding, and said, "So this isn't a ceremony to warmly welcome my dad and me after our victory?"
"Little sister, stop talking!" Seeing his grandma and mom scolding his dad, Zheng Xing was afraid his little sister would stir up trouble and get into big trouble, so he quickly stepped forward, pulled his little sister away, and warned her.
When adults argue, the children suffer. It's true.
Zheng Wang muttered something under his breath, and gave his father a helpless look, telling him to pray for himself.
Indeed, this is true. When adults argue, children are caught in the middle. If they try to intervene and take sides, they risk offending the other.
How many adults caught in a heated argument are truly rational?
If things go wrong, the child will likely be the one who suffers, becoming the punching bag.
Fortunately, no serious arguments have broken out in the Zheng family yet, but things are far more serious.
There's a saying online: passive-aggressive behavior is more powerful.
Right now, that's the situation with Master Zheng. He treats people with cold violence. Anyone who dares to offend him is just asking for trouble. So, they have to back off.
The two little ones slipped away and hid to the side to operate the drone and spy, indicating that they were watching and warning the others not to go too far!
The three adults were well aware of their little schemes, but they simply didn't want to pay them any attention.
So the three of them stood at the doorway staring at each other, neither of them speaking to break the silence, and they were even scrutinizing each other with their eyes, urging each other to hurry up and confess!
Clearly, this is an unconventional matchup.
Whoever is defeated first will surely lose their defensive position and be at the mercy of others!
Even so, Xu Qi ultimately took the blame and spoke first: "Mom, the husband may have been forced to hide some things from us. It would be shameful for our family to make things difficult for each other, so let's just leave it at that."
"Haha, you're the only one in the family who knows how to behave, protecting him without any bottom line. But how did he treat you? What unforgettable memories did he give you? Tell me, and let me, his mother, stand up for you!" Fu Qingyao was clearly attacking someone who was causing trouble. Had she learned to keep things to herself?
Is it possible that you've been having affairs with other women and nobody knows?
These words left Xu Qi speechless.
Upon careful reflection on her life, she suddenly realized that Zheng Ya's most unforgettable memory for her was cultivating Taoism; everything else was just laughable!
This made Zheng Ya see the bitter and guilty look on her face, making her the second person to give in. He smiled wryly and said, "Mom, you were really wrong about that..."
"Uh, it's the mother who's wrong?" Fu Qingyao retorted, "Why don't you defy me to my face and show me?"
Xu Qi immediately gave her a warning look, as if to say, "Don't talk nonsense, or you'll cause trouble for your mother and it won't end well."
Originally, the relationship between the mother and son was not very harmonious.
The reason is that Zheng Ya seized the body and bloodline of the other person's son, and coincidentally, it was a digestive assimilation that almost erased everything about the other person's son. It was impossible not to make the other person sad and even hateful.
Although such things are unpredictable, and it was orchestrated by the Tower of Babel itself, there was no way to resist or fight back. However, it is already difficult for a mother to accept it calmly. If it is hurtful, wouldn't it be natural for her to harbor resentment?
Is it wrong for a mother to protect her own flesh and blood?
In the past, Zheng Ya treated life like a game, doing many reckless things that angered Fu Qingyao.
I've already realized it, and I can't say those hurtful things anymore.
Besides, over the years, Zheng Ya had experienced maternal love from Fu Qingyao and had long been attached to her. He immediately smiled and said, "Mom, that's not what you think."
"Haha, in that case, you should say everything so that Mom can think it over before she speaks." Fu Qingyao was determined to teach him a lesson today.
As the old saying goes, "If you can't sweep your own house, how can you sweep the world?"
If you can't even handle your family affairs, no matter how successful you are outside, it's all just nonsense and you'll never amount to anything.
Zheng Ya sensed his mother's intention and said with a wry smile, "Mom, there's a saying that behind every successful man is a virtuous and kind woman supporting him..."
"Alright, let's go inside and talk." Seeing Xu Qi break down and cover her face to cry, Fu Qingyao went over, hugged her, and turned to go inside!
First level passed.
The two little ones jumped up excitedly, clapping their hands and whispering, "Dad's amazing! He passed the first hurdle with just one sentence, but he made Mom cry, hmph!"
"Little sister, the joy that Mom cried proves that Mom's position in Dad's heart is above everything. We two are just an accident, haha." Zheng Xing was happy for his parents, but also felt bitter. Why?
Zheng Wang said sourly, "Just wait, Grandma will teach someone a lesson..."
"Haha, the shoddy cotton is confirmed..." Zheng Xing's self-deprecating remark earned him a punch from Zheng Wang: "Get lost, if you're not shoddy, why are you saying such sour things..."
"I don't……"
"You have..."
The two children argued incessantly, and Zheng Ya couldn't care less about them. He followed his wife and mother into the living room, sat on the sofa to compose himself, and began to plan the topic for the second round of questions.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Zheng Ya quickly brewed tea for them, using top-quality spiritual tea according to each person's preferences, and then placed it on the tea table next to each of them.
Fu Qingyao couldn't sit still any longer: "Unsolicited kindness is either a trick or a theft."
"Pfft, Mom means you should just tell the truth, right?" Xu Qi suppressed her joyful yet bittersweet tears and used the situation to her advantage.
Forming an alliance to confront someone is also a warning that they must give an explanation today or it won't end here.
While making tea for himself, Zheng Ya laughed and said, "Haha, attracting attention, that's because your man has the assets, but he remains unmoved by temptation..."
"You brat, you're always up to no good, aren't you?" Fu Qingyao felt sorry for Xu Qi when she saw that his words had made her so surprised and confused. Is there anyone who loves his wife this much?
However, this is also the best way to approach things: be honest and open with each other.
After all, who would believe someone who says they didn't do anything ambiguous while in Hongli?
It's simply impossible for a hero like him, who saves the world, not to have women vying for his attention.
Is a man who remains chaste?
There's no cat that can resist fish; that's a perfect analogy for men.
It's clear that this person sees things very clearly, and frankly speaking, it's much better than trying to hide it.
Xu Qi snorted coldly: "You're so vain. Don't try to be nice. Mom and I would love for you to add some fresh blood to our family's younger generation."
The pronunciation of "生力军" (fresh force) was a bit heavy, with a nasal tone.
This made Fu Qingyao a little restless. She fidgeted and said, "You brat, if you really do something outrageous, just talk it out. Our Qi'er is reasonable and won't embarrass you."
The only ones who will embarrass you are the two little ones, you understand?
"I don't know anything about that, it's all nonsense!"
"All I can say is that I have one close female friend, but we've never even held hands. Is that enough?" Zheng Ya said somewhat embarrassedly, stating a fact.
After all, in a society like Hongli Continent where wives and concubines were common, such a thing would be considered an insult and a sign of incompetence.
Besides, what man wouldn't want to have two women on his arms and enjoy the bliss of having multiple wives?
Unfortunately, he was destined to be a busybody; he had the desire to steal but not the courage.
This surprised Xu Qi and Fu Qingyao. They were both happy that someone was so loyal and affectionate, but also worried about him. Could something have gone wrong with him?
