At this moment, Yun Qing's face was full of curiosity, and her big eyes were full of thirst for knowledge as she looked at Liu Ruyan.
Liu Ruyan was so bewildered by what she saw that she began to wonder if her memories of the past eight years were just her imagination.
At that moment, she realized a fact: Yun Qing wasn't as easily manipulated as she had thought, and she didn't have such deep feelings for her. Realizing this, Liu Ruyan lost her usual self-righteousness and dared not look Yun Qing in the eye again.
"Alright." Gu Changyuan stepped in again to take charge: "Since Uncle Yun is willing to offer his treasures, that's naturally the best thing. After all—"
He paused slightly at this point, as if implying something: "Blood kinship testing is not entirely accurate. To prevent any accidents, it's better to use a ritual implement."
At that moment, Yun Helan's gaze met Gu Changyuan's in mid-air, and she instinctively looked away.
When she realized what she had done, Yun Helan was filled with remorse. He was just a useless person with a damaged spiritual root. What was there to be afraid of?
Now that things have come to this, Liu Ruyan is in a difficult position. Whether or not to have a paternity test is no longer her decision. Even if she wants to back out, it's too late.
Fortunately, no one doubted Yun Helan's identity, which was their only consolation at the moment.
However, in a corner unknown to them, Yun Wanyan stared back and forth between the two faces, lost in thought.
In the past, because Yun Helan and Yan Qing looked very similar, she had not paid close attention to her appearance. Now, seeing that her drooping eyes and thin eyebrows, she was a perfect replica of Liu Ruyan.
An incredible thought gradually formed in Yun Wanyan's mind.
In front of everyone, Yun Qing and Liu Ruyan placed their hands on either side of the kinship instrument. After a while, the instrument emitted light, casting a large "X" in the air.
Gu Changyuan: "As you all have seen, the kinship test shows that this lady has no kinship with Junior Sister Yun Qing."
After the results came out, some people, seeing that there was no entertainment to be had, gradually dispersed.
Seeing that Yun Qing had suffered no loss after all this effort, and had even severed ties with Liu Ruyan, Yun Helan was naturally extremely resentful.
"Wait a minute!" she shouted. "Even if Yun Qing isn't her daughter, it doesn't mean they're not related. Otherwise, why would this woman specifically target Yun Qing and not someone else?"
Hearing these shameless words, Yun Qing had to admire Yun Helan's stupidity, as if she was afraid that others would not see that she was the one who was behind today's events.
Yun Qing's eyes darted around, as if she were hiding some mischievous idea. Then, she quietly tugged at Yun Wanyan's sleeve: "Master."
"What's wrong?" Yun Wanyan squatted down.
"If I play a little trick on my senior sister, you won't be angry, will you?"
Yun Wanyan shook her head. She wasn't blind to Yun Helan's abnormality, and naturally felt that she should be taught a lesson.
"Yunqing, what are you secretly saying to my mother? Let me tell you, don't think that pleasing your mother will solve everything."
Yun Qing gave Yun Helan a provocative smile, quickly walked over, and with lightning speed pulled an object from her pocket and threw it at her.
"Bang—" The object exploded on Yun Helan's body as soon as it touched her.
When the smoke cleared, Yun Helan's hair was blown into a mess, and she smelled terrible.
"Ah!" Yun Helan screamed, "What did you do to me? I'll fight you to the death!"
Seeing her charging towards him with a ferocious expression, Yun Qing quickly covered her nose and hid behind Gu Changyuan.
After confirming that the location was very safe, she made a provocative face at Yun Helan: "Senior Sister Yun, this is a new stinky bomb developed by Ziyun Peak. It won't hurt anyone, but the smell will take a whole day to dissipate. It matches your stinky mouth perfectly."
Although Xiao Lefeng and Xu Chengyun were also reluctant to get close to Yun Helan because of the strong smell, they still pinched their noses and came up to help.
"Junior Sister Yunqing, you've gone too far! How could you do such a thing to your junior sister in public?"
"Exactly, you caused this trouble yourself. You can't just retaliate against your junior sister like this because she said a few words to you, can you?"
Yun Qing bared her teeth at the two of them: "Why can't I? Didn't she just say that this woman didn't go to anyone else but me? Isn't that victim-blaming? Then I'll let her experience it too. There are so many people here today, why didn't I throw a stink bomb at someone else, but only at Yun Helan? Of course, it's her own fault."
Yun Helan: "What nonsense are you spouting? What did I do wrong?"
Yun Qing picked at her ear, pretending not to hear clearly: "What did you say? What did I do wrong? How would I know? You should reflect on yourself. Anyway, it's your own fault that I teased you."
This sophistry is simply returning Yun Helan's original meaning to her.
"Pfft—" Gu Changyuan couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the sounds of suppressed laughter also gradually rose from around him.
Even the usually composed Yun Wanyan's lips curled into a slight smile.
"You, you've gone too far!" Yun Helan was only eight years old, and she burst into tears in the face of everyone's teasing gazes.
However, apart from her two henchmen, no one present went forward to comfort her.
Yun Helan cried loudly, then noticed Yun Qing and Gu Changyuan whispering to each other. She thought they were definitely laughing at her, and she was furious.
At this moment, Liu Ruyan stood in the center of the hall, at a loss. She wanted to comfort Yun Helan, but was afraid of revealing something. She wanted to involve Yun Qing, but Gu Changyuan stood in front of her, glaring fiercely. She was truly caught in a dilemma.
After a while, Yun Helan finally stopped crying.
Then, she brazenly walked up to Yun Wanyan and took her arm: "Mother, there is another thing that can prove the relationship between Yun Qing and that woman. Didn't Grandfather create a Mirror of Reversal that can recall scenes from three months ago? Let's take a look and we'll know."
This inspiration came from Yun Qing's use of the Kinship Instrument. As long as the Retrospective Mirror shows the scene of Yun Qing in Qinghe Town three months ago, it can naturally prove that she has been living with Liu Ruyan all along.
So what if there's no blood relation? The kindness of raising someone is greater than the kindness of giving birth. Once Yun Qing's crime of not acknowledging her adoptive mother is confirmed, people's contempt for her will only be more severe than their rejection of her biological mother.
Yun Helan believed her suggestion was flawless, and some of the disciples around her who were jealous of Yun Qing also chimed in.
In just over a month at the Yuntian Sect, Yun Qing obtained many things from Yun Wanyan and Yan Qing that many people had never seen before.
They are both disciples of the Yuntian Sect, but the difference between them is so great. It's impossible not to be jealous. Just like Xu Chengyun and Xiao Lefeng, their actions against Yun Qing were not only for Yun Helan's sake.
The crowd's strange gazes fell on Yun Qing again, as if they had already decided that she was an ungrateful person.
