Chapter 54 054 So, the temper she threw in front of Xie Qingyu...
Rong Ying, who had been arguing louder and louder with Xie Chengbi, lowered her voice and unconsciously said, "You mean to say, you mean to say—"
She had never liked Xie Qingyu, but when she thought of this possibility, Rong Ying lowered her voice.
As soon as Xie Chengbi said it, he regretted it a little.
If Xiaoying hadn't bothered him, he probably would have kept this secret to himself.
However, once he brought up this topic, Rong Ying certainly wouldn't let him off the hook, and she couldn't help but say in a low voice, "You mean, your brother secretly, and Sect Leader Shen, um, were husband and wife?"
Rong Ying subconsciously thought, how could that be?
Xie Qingyu has a good reputation and is always doing favors, which Rong Ying sees as pretentious. But it also shows that Xie Qingyu has great self-control and is only focused on his career.
Xie Qingyu could do something like the Southern Sect Master of Tianchi Sect, who took wives and concubines and had countless children.
The fact that this has never happened before indicates that Xie Qingyu's mind is not on beauty.
Although Rong Ying always thought Xie Qingyu was quite hypocritical, she didn't seem to think Xie Qingyu was very lecherous.
However, once you accept this premise, everything seems to make sense.
When Shen Zhiwei brought her daughter to Yuanyuantian for the first time, Xie Qingyu appeared.
He also patted Shen Xiaochun's head, bought her a fine magic sword, and smiled at her.
At that time, Rong Ying didn't think much of it, and neither did anyone else. Although there were some rumors, others thought it was just a way to win people over and didn't really take it to heart.
Xie Qingyu is always like this; no matter what he does, he is always hypocritical and never reveals his true feelings.
Rong Ying also recalled some details, and it was clear that Shen Zhiwei was somewhat unhappy at that time.
But who could have predicted that?
Shen Zhiwei's displeasure may stem from Xie Qingyu's order for the Jiuyi Immortal Sect to refine the Peiyuan Pill, which put pressure on the Bixia Sect and made its operations difficult.
Just like Rong Ying, at that time she was inwardly complaining that Shen Zhiwei was vulgar and ignorant, and that her temper was written all over her face, and that she was afraid that she would ruin her daughter's future.
Now, all these events, when put together, seem to form a logically consistent truth.
The high and mighty sect leader of the Nine Peaks Immortal Sect and Shen Zhiwei had a past relationship.
The two had been husband and wife and had a daughter who was also very talented and was admitted to Tianyuan Academy.
Xie Qingyu did not raise her own flesh and blood, but instead selected Xie Jue from the clan to cultivate and even persuaded Xie Jue to marry into the Rong family.
When her daughter arrived at Tianyuan Prefecture, she happened to not get along with Xie Jue, so Xie Qingyu asked Xie Jue to be more accommodating.
Perhaps Xie Qingyu would care more about her biological daughter than Xie Jue.
Rong Ying had an idea and wanted to sort out this melodramatic story. Suddenly, she seemed to realize something, and her heart sank as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water.
She reached out and gripped Xie Chengbi's arm tightly.
"Have Su Yuan keep an eye on her. Whether Shen Zhiwei goes to the third day or the second level of heaven, she must not go to Yuan Yuan Heaven. We absolutely cannot let her say anything reckless or say anything she shouldn't."
"If Sect Leader Shen arrives in Yuan Yuan Heaven, she must inform you. If Sect Leader Shen says anything unpleasant, you must stop her. If necessary, it is alright to use some severe measures. You mean, it is acceptable to spare her life, but it is acceptable to cripple her cultivation."
Xie Chengbi was also discouraged, secretly thinking to himself, "Xiao Ying even found out these things."
He wanted to deny it, or say something nice, but it seemed there was nothing he could do.
Xie Chengbi, having nothing to lose, said, "These are, of course, orders from my elder brother."
He also felt somewhat uncomfortable.
That Sect Leader Shen is quite a beauty, and she's even given birth to a daughter. Her brother is being far too heartless.
Someone as proud as Shen Zhiwei, if she were to lose all her cultivation due to a slip of the tongue, it's hard to say whether she could even survive.
Rong Ying blurted out, "How could he be so ruthless?"
Since Xie Qingyu was her lover, Rong Ying could immediately offer a fair assessment of the matter. Even if there were some difficulties involved in what happened back then, Xie Qingyu shouldn't have been so heartless.
They should at least raise their own daughter properly and give Shen Zhiwei some compensation.
Xie Chengbi: "What could I do? I've always listened to him since I was a child. He always did what he said, and I never disobeyed him. Later, I had Su Yuan keep an eye on him, and I never questioned him. Out of sight, out of mind."
Then Xie Chengbi couldn't help but speak up for her brother: "Besides, brother, you're just worried about some difficulties. It's said that Shen kept saying that he used his own flesh and blood to withstand Black Scale's attack, but at that time, brother, you weren't yet at the Immortal Realm. What if she gets angry and starts spouting nonsense?"
Rong Ying was obedient and could grasp the key points. She immediately said quickly, "You mean to say that Xie Qingyu used his wife as a shield to block the attack of the demon beast? Yes, Shen Zhiwei still has scars on her back. She is truly terrifying. Does your Xie family have a custom of murdering one's wife? I don't think you are a good person either! Xiao Tang must not marry Xie Jue."
Xie Chengbi quickly hugged his wife: "What nonsense are you talking about? Those are just the words Shen Zhiwei uttered when she was abandoned. She wanted to destroy what she couldn't have. Your brother just didn't want to indulge her, so he was on guard against her like this. Look at Sect Leader Shen now, she's calm and hasn't said anything."
But even after saying these words, Xie Chengbi himself didn't really believe them.
He hadn't told his wife everything yet; some of the filth and darkness were too horrible to bear.
That year, Xie Qingyu gave such an order, and Xie Chengbi himself couldn't bear it. He couldn't help but advise her and even made a suggestion: why not bring Shen Zhiwei, who had just given birth, to Yuanyuantian and find a place to settle her down?
After all, he is his elder brother's bloodline. Does he really have to be left to wander outside?
Xie Qingyu smiled coldly and said slowly, "But she seems to have some misunderstanding about me. When she was heavily pregnant, she was attacked by that monster, and it seems she blamed me. I thought she wouldn't survive, but now that she's still alive, she might think I abandoned her to her death. Such prejudice and misunderstanding are too deep, and I don't think I can explain it."
Is it something that can't be explained, or is it simply true?
After all, they are brothers, and Xie Qingyu had clearly told his younger brother the truth.
However, no matter when, even in private, Xie Qingyu would never reveal her true intentions.
At that moment, he heard his heart pounding wildly, and he couldn't quite describe the feeling.
But his wife chuckled lightly, "I don't think anyone will believe this nonsense. Seeing Shen Zhiwei bring his daughter up, he must be terrified. After all, she's his own daughter, and it can be verified that she's Xie Qingyu's bloodline."
Fear? Why would Xie Qingyu be afraid? Xie Chengbi only felt that Xiao Ying was too naive.
From the moment Shen Zhiwei stepped into Yuanyuan Heaven, countless eyes in the Xie family were watching her closely. At that time, Xie Chengbi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. If this matter were to be brought to light, it would inevitably become a scandal.
But Xie Qingyu remained calm and composed; he didn't even try to avoid the Shen family.
Upon seeing the mother and daughter, he flew to Shen Zhiwei and reached out to stroke Shen Xiaochan's head.
Rong Ying was not naive; she said that Xie Qingyu had no feelings for her.
At that moment, Xie Qingyu placed a hand on Shen Xiaochan's head, and even Xie Chengbi couldn't tell himself what profound feelings this was based on.
In front of a mother, a hand is placed on her daughter's groin; with just a slight release of force, a child could be killed.
My elder brother appears gentle and refined, but he is actually a very proud person who cannot tolerate being offended by others.
If one feels insulted, one will surely retaliate tenfold.
Xie Chengbi suddenly reached out and tightly embraced Rong Ying.
Rong Ying punched him twice, but couldn't break free, so she nestled peacefully in his arms.
The wife's body was warm, which seemed to dispel the chill throughout my body.
Xie Chengbi said softly, "Xiao Ying, you are so good. It's a good thing you're here with me."
Yes, Rong Ying wasn't the best-natured, but she wasn't heartless either, which brought Xie Chengbi a bit of warmth amidst the icy chill. Yes, he still had a home, and the two children Rong Ying had given him, which made him less afraid.
The saying goes, "When the rabbit dies, the fox grieves." If Xie Qingyu treats her former lover and her own daughter this way, how would she treat herself?
Is his own younger brother also so insignificant and worthless?
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, yet behind it lies darkness and filth.
Xie Chengbi cannot live without Xie Qingyu, the moon of the Xie family. Xie Qingyu is the only one in the Xie family who has reached the realm of immortals, and the glory of the entire Xie clan rests on Xie Qingyu!
Looking up to him like that, he couldn't bring himself to truly blame his brother.
At this moment, he also began to find reasons for Xie Qingyu, and couldn't help but say, "Brother, he's not really heartless, he's just been carrying those important matters in his heart for far too long. When he finally saw his former Daoist partner and Xiao Chan, didn't he like them very much?"
Meeting again brings back memories; the feelings from when they were lovers seem to have returned.
Shen Zhiwei was very beautiful, and her daughter was clever, quirky, cute, and endearing.
It felt like we had suddenly returned to the very beginning.
Even Xie Qingyu's subordinates discerned Xie Qingyu's intentions, thinking that it wouldn't be bad for the sect leader to have a favorite woman.
All of this stemmed from Shen Zhiwei's seemingly "sensible" demeanor.
She didn't make a fuss about how Xie Qingyu almost fed her to the beasts, nor did she publicly denounce Xie Qingyu's shamelessness and immorality.
So when she threw a tantrum in front of Xie Qingyu, it was like a lovable kitten; even if she stretched out her claws, it wouldn't hurt her at all.
Therefore, it was easy for Xie Qingyu to tolerate him.
Xie Chengbi: "Brother, he was a bit resolute before, but he never saw his daughter with his own eyes, nor did he hold her in his arms. I think he really likes Xiao Chan now, and he even holds her in his arms today."
Regardless, Xie Chengbi always sided with his elder brother.
He still wanted the story to have a happy ending with the family reunited.
