Madam Kong's sudden attack caught everyone off guard. Everyone present, except for Wuyou, was extremely surprised. Their eyes darted back and forth between the Kong family and Wuyou, and their minds were already conjuring up countless scenarios.
Tang Chi's eyes showed the most surprise. After all, he had been with Wuyou for more than three years, and he had never found any special feelings that Wuyou had for the Kong family from his words and actions. If there were any, it was only a faint dislike.
"You say I owe your family a debt of gratitude, do you have any proof?" Wuyou appeared very calm, her face showing no emotion, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.
“I raised you myself. You can fool others, but you can’t fool me. Your little tricks and the way you look at people are exactly the same as before.” Madam Kong said confidently. In fact, she hadn’t noticed it at first. If the other party hadn’t been trying to harm her daughter, she wouldn’t have observed so carefully.
This way of putting it makes the two sides seem very close, which will only make Wuyou appear even more ungrateful. Since Zhang Wuyou is unwilling to help and is ungrateful, then she shouldn't blame her for ruining his future.
"You must be carrying a magical artifact to conceal your gender. Do you dare to take it off?" She had observed you carefully before; your Adam's apple and figure were different from before, so you must have concealed them.
“Sister Wuyou, we grew up together, how could I not recognize you? If it weren’t for Liu Lang, I would never have disturbed your peaceful life.” Kong Qingyan was unusually clever and followed her mother’s lead.
She knew that the only way to escape this predicament was to establish a connection with Wuyou. Even based on past favors, he wouldn't be able to refuse her.
"Wuyou, I didn't tell you when I left the mortal realm, but I had my reasons! Over the years, I've been sending people to look for you, but unfortunately, I couldn't find you. Now that I see you are safe and sound, I'm relieved. I can finally face your parents in the future." Kong Tingxuan looked at him with loving eyes, as if he were a kind uncle who cared for his niece.
Wuyou's lips curled slightly. She hadn't expected this family to be such skilled actors. She had really underestimated them! The others stared wide-eyed at what was happening, some of them unable to accept it.
Tang Chi turned to look at Wuyou's handsome face, but he couldn't connect her with the image of a delicate young woman. Unconsciously, he began to picture Wuyou dressed in women's clothing, his thoughts in turmoil.
"Clap clap clap..." Wuyou couldn't help but applaud the Kong family's acting skills, her voice exceptionally clear. "I'm really ashamed of your shamelessness! You didn't recognize me before, but now that you need my help, you shamelessly come to me. I really underestimated you."
The Kong family members blushed upon hearing this, but ultimately their own interests prevailed. Kong Tingxuan coughed and tried to put on a stern face, saying, "Wuyou, we were wrong before, but we're still family! How can you talk to your elders like that?"
"Okay, we're family. So what do you want me to do for you next?" Wuyou smiled, tilted her head slightly to look at the other person, and crossed her arms in a relaxed manner.
The sarcasm in those words was obvious. Even though the Kong couple were thick-skinned, they didn't know how to respond for a moment. On the contrary, Kong Qingyan, who seemed to be pampered, beamed with joy and spoke up.
“Sister Wuyou, there is nothing wrong with me and Liu Lang loving each other. I hope you can let us go this time and not pursue the matter any further. I don’t ask for much, I only ask to grow old with Liu Lang for all eternity.”
The young girl possessed a delicate and charming face, her expression radiating a dreamlike happiness and sweetness, revealing a girlish shyness at first glance. Liu Yishui couldn't help but reveal a hint of longing in his eyes—becoming an immortal! That was far more prestigious than being a top scholar; he wouldn't trade it for anything, not even the emperor himself!
Tang Chi and his son couldn't help but look away. How could they have been so blind to fall for such a woman? Her man, who only had himself on his mind, didn't care about anything else and couldn't even understand basic human speech.
"Haha... Qingyan is still young and doesn't understand. We just hope that you can spare Qingyan's life. We don't ask for anything else, we don't ask for anything else..." Kong Tingxuan chuckled dryly, feeling a little embarrassed. How could his daughter be so brainless?
Even if Wuyou were truly willing to let Liu Yishui go, he wouldn't. Acknowledging a mortal son-in-law would be too difficult for him. He didn't want his family to become an outcast in the immortal realm.
"Heh... I think it would be easier for you to just find a pillow." Wuyou sneered; these people were simply dreaming.
"..." Everyone present was stunned, never expecting that this matter had turned to the pillow. Only Tang Chi, who had been by Wuyou's side for a long time and had even experimented on the spot, quickly reacted and burst out laughing.
"She's saying it's easier for you to just daydream." Upon hearing this, Kong Tingxuan's face turned green.
"Well, Zhang Wuyou! Our Kong family took you in out of pity, but now you repay kindness with enmity! How can the Enforcement Hall tolerate such an ungrateful person? I will let the whole world know your shamelessness. You are not worthy of being an immortal." This time, Kong Qingyan reacted the fastest, her beautiful face contorted with rage.
Wuyou stared intently at Kong Qingyan's face, a face both familiar and unfamiliar. This expression had never appeared on that face before. In Zhang Wuyou's memory, Kong Qingyan's face was always innocent and adorable, adored by everyone, looking down on all others with an air of superiority. An overly unpleasant expression never appeared on her face, because no one would bear to make her sad or angry.
Only she, Zhang Wuyou, was forever a despised maid, forever only able to look up at the other from the dust. Even when she competed with the other for a man, the other always remained calm and composed, as if he had never taken her seriously.
"Since you all say I'm ungrateful, I can't just sit here and wait to die. Today, let's have a proper talk in front of everyone." A strange sense of pleasure rose in Zhang Wuyou's heart.
Wuyou slowly rubbed her right index finger, where a silver ring shimmered faintly, unremarkable at first glance. Only upon closer inspection would one discover that it was a storage ring.
A thin sheet of paper appeared in his hand. Wuyou casually tossed it, and the contract flew steadily to Tang Cheng's front. "Sect Master Tang is highly respected and a senior in the Immortal Realm. Why don't you take a look at what this is?"
Tang Cheng took it and examined it closely, then said, "This is a contract. The Zhang family handed over their property to Kong Tingxuan, and Kong Tingxuan was responsible for raising the Zhang family's daughter. This is a written agreement. There are two signatures on it, one of which is that of Master Kong. This thing is indeed from a thousand years ago, and it is definitely not a forgery."
Those with high magical power are impervious to it, which is extraordinary. They can easily detect the aura of an object and are never wrong.
Kong Tingxuan finally recognized the object when he saw it, and he had a premonition in his heart, so his expression was not good.
