Chapter 81 081 I am, after all, Xiao'er's father
However, it was quite a coincidence that he fainted, leading everyone to believe it was due to Tanlang's (a character in the game) achievements.
Their sudden appearance and actions revealed that they had already secretly plotted against them, proving they were indeed as cunning as rumored.
Mu Wuxian's expression shifted slightly.
The jade heart ring was tampered with today; it was originally intended as a prize for one of the Rong siblings.
So it really is aimed at the Rong siblings?
Unlike Shen Xiaochun, these two junior cultivators were cursed early on, and once they put on that ring, they would be immediately controlled by it.
After realizing that Mu Wuxian had noticed, the other party abandoned their plan and stopped concealing the curses on the Rong siblings.
Who was responsible for this?
Rong Xiao and Rong Tang, both from the prestigious Xie and Rong families, are arguably the two most esteemed minor cultivators in Yuan Yuan Tian. To accomplish such a feat right under Rong Yuejun's nose demonstrates their considerable skill.
However, it's not exactly an unbreakable curse.
Rong Yuejun strode forward, and she and Rong Ying each supported one child. At this moment, Rong Yuejun's expression was extremely unpleasant.
Greedy Wolf must have done it on purpose!
He did this in order to retaliate!
Those thoughts lingered in Rong Yuejun's heart, causing her face to turn as pale as snow.
She couldn't help but recall the events of that year, when she personally stabbed Tanlang in the body with her sword.
Next was Xie Qingyu.
Although it struck a vital point, Tanlang was already an immortal at that time and had not died.
She and Xie Qingyu, blinded by rage, joined forces with another person to destroy his soul.
But in the end, Tanlang still managed to escape.
At that time, Tanlang was severely injured and probably wouldn't survive.
She and everyone else thought the same way, and during these ten years she and others enjoyed all the honors of the world, becoming immortals of the four realms!
But now, Greedy Wolf has actually returned!
At this time of year, the bright snow has already arrived.
When Tanlang appears, someone will naturally go to inform him. Surprisingly, the usually domineering Young Master Mu did not show up.
Still shaken, the crowd couldn't help but gossip amongst themselves. Could it be that Young Master Mu's blood test at the entrance of Yuan Yuan Tian wasn't for Tan Lang, but for that beauty?
However, Rong Yuejun did not think so much and quickly asked Ming Xueyou to treat Rong Xiao and Rong Tang.
These two were clearly under a curse. Ming Xueyou, as the last surviving member of the Ming family, was also someone who was extremely skilled at breaking curses.
It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.
Ming Xueyou glanced at Shen Zhiwei without making a sound. Although she didn't seem to have any expression, Shen Zhiwei could still sense some surprise. She looked like she hadn't expected this kind of plot to happen.
Shen Zhiwei was furious and looked back to express that it was not her doing.
She wouldn't go so far as to harm Xiao Xiu.
Ming Xueyou smiled inwardly. At that moment, Shen Zhiwei secretly whispered something to her.
Ming Xueyou understood, so she raised her head with a troubled expression: "Both of them are anxious, I don't know who to exorcise the curse for first."
Rong Ying swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. She thought that her elder sister always let Rong Xiao give way to Rong Tang and doted on Xiao Tang. Would it hurt Rong Xiao's heart if she did so now?
But at this moment, it seemed that she couldn't be a saint or a good person either.
Rong Ying was very conflicted.
She was conflicted, but Rong Yuejun was not.
Rong Yuejun replied quickly: "Save Xiao'er first."
She spoke with absolute certainty and without hesitation.
Of course, we should save Rong Xiao first, because Rong Xiao is more outstanding, will be the head of the Rong family, and will be more useful.
Normally, she would ask Rong Xiao to give way to Xiao Tang, such as letting Rong Tang get one of the top scores in the annual exam. In these small matters, it was okay to let Xiao Tang have her way.
She also liked Rong Tang, and it was fine to spoil him. She also cared a lot about Rong Tang's cultivation and even found a phoenix feather for Rong Tang's magic sword.
Of course she loved Rong Tang too, but there are priorities in everything.
She toughened Rong Xiao up in that way because he would become the head of the Rong family in the future.
Jade must be carved to become a work of art; this child is Rong Yuejun's most important creation.
It was meticulously crafted and painstakingly created by her, and it will surprise people.
Xie Qingyu's gaze fell on Rong Yuejun, and she couldn't help but show a hint of admiration.
His son with Rong Yuejun is of course the top priority.
Yuejun never disappoints him at times like these.
The more critical the moment, the more untamed Rong Yuejun's nature is revealed, which is pleasing to the eye.
Xie Qingyu even vaguely recalled the feeling she had when she fell for Rong Yuejun.
Ming Xueyou began to break the curse, then suddenly raised her head and said, "A drop of blood from a close relative is needed as a catalyst. It must be the blood of a very close relative, the purer the better; otherwise, mixed blood will harm the person under the curse."
The methods for breaking a curse are often convoluted and bizarre, so using the blood of a loved one as a catalyst is not surprising.
Rong Yuejun had no doubts; she originally intended to take her own blood.
Shen Zhiwei praised Ming Xueyou in her heart. Ming Xueyou was indeed quick-witted and could verify the information by taking Rong Yuejun's blood.
If one of her guesses is correct, she will surely be able to glean clues from this drop of blood.
Since Ming Xueyou has described the conditions in such detail, the person who will draw the blood must be Rong Yuejun.
At this moment, Xie Qingyu spoke up: "Wait a moment."
Shen Zhiwei didn't show it on his face, but his heart skipped a beat.
Ming Xueyou didn't show it on her face, but when she looked up, a hint of curiosity and confusion flickered across her face.
Xie Qingyu stretched out her arm and said gently, "Take my blood."
Shen Zhiwei wanted to laugh, then suddenly realized that Xie Qingyu was trying to curry favor.
Presumably due to the imminent threat of a major enemy, Xie Qingyu's affection for Rong Yuejun has risen to an unprecedented level, hence her special attempt to curry favor, seemingly unconcerned about Rong Yuejun's controlling nature.
It wasn't that Xie Qingyu suspected anyone.
Shen Zhiwei also had some suspicions about Xie Qingyu, and it wouldn't be bad to take Xie Qingyu's blood.
However, Rong Yuejun's expression changed drastically, revealing an attitude of avoiding something like a snake or scorpion: "No need, just take my blood."
Xie Qingyu's expression turned sour upon being refuted; Rong Yuejun was indeed that kind of person.
Even though Rong Xiao was already ten years old and a long time had passed, Rong Yuejun still held a grudge about what happened back then and was unwilling to accept even the slightest bit of goodwill from Xie Qingyu.
Rong Yuejun did not want him to have women, but at the same time she treated him very coldly, maintaining a haughty and aloof attitude.
Xie Qingyu felt as if she had been doused with cold water, which instantly extinguished any goodwill she had felt for Rong Yuejun, and a familiar sense of disgust resurfaced in her heart.
Rong Yuejun is such a unique and extraordinary person.
Xie Qingyu took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the anger burning in her heart.
Even if Rong Yuejun dislikes herself, she can't show it like this in front of others and lose face.
He did not step aside, but said, "Lord Yue, why be like this? I am, after all, Xiao'er's father. Why can't I do something for him?"
Xie Qingyu said this with a hint of emotion in her voice.
With a formidable enemy at hand, no matter how unruly Rong Yuejun may be, she is aware that the bigger picture is paramount, and naturally, no one can question the alliance between the Rong and Xie families.
Having said all that, Rong Yuejun had no choice but to back down.
But Rong Yuejun coldly replied, "Get out of the way."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Given the atmosphere, Ming Xueyou could have simply chosen one person to draw blood from. However, Ming Xueyou looked around, appearing troubled: "But I don't know whose blood to use?"
Shen Zhiwei watched this unfold and couldn't help but sigh at how picky Ming Xueyou was about the goods.
It seems that those who can hang out with me are not exactly kind people.
While the others remained calm, Rong Ying grew anxious and hurriedly said, "Sister, whoever it is, the child needs to be treated quickly."
After all, Rong Ying was still behind Rong Xiao in line and was waiting.
However, Xie Qingyu, who was always gentle and refined, refused to back down at this moment.
He has clearly given up too much.
Rong Ying grew increasingly disgusted with Xie Qingyu, but seeing how resolute Xie Qingyu was, she couldn't help but advise Rong Yuejun: "Sect Leader Xie meant well, let him fulfill some of his responsibilities. Xiao Tang, we're still waiting."
Rong Ying was already brimming with tears. If it were any other time, Rong Yuejun would have given in to his own sister.
But now, Rong Yuejun also said firmly, "Use my blood."
Shen Zhiwei hugged Xiao Chan, looked her over from left to right, and suddenly had a very bold guess.
This guess is extremely bold.
Although bold, Shen Zhiwei dared to speak her mind, and she immediately said, "Could it be that Rong Xiao is not Sect Leader Xie's biological son?"
As soon as these words were spoken, several pairs of eyes swept over.
Shen Zhiwei was the type of person who got more excited the more people watching, and remained completely calm.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she analyzed: "Didn't the Envoy of the Underworld say that if the blood is mixed, it will harm the cultivator's body?"
