Chapter 83 How can we successfully sow discord?
Xie Qingyu's current demeanor surprised Shen Zhiwei slightly.
The head of the Xie family was usually gentle and refined, with impeccable manners. Even when killing someone, he would smile faintly and always appear confident and composed.
Now, alone with Shen Zhiwei, he suddenly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and unconsciously revealed a somewhat dejected and melancholy expression.
Shen Zhiwei seemed to have seen Xie Qingyu in this state before, not in person, but in the original owner's memories.
When the original owner picked up Xie Qingyu, she probably saw Xie Qingyu looking like this before.
During the great battle against the demons, Xie Qingyu lost her spirit and became vulnerable, which led to her developing a romantic relationship with the original owner of the body.
Shen Zhiwei couldn't help but sigh and feel curious. She wondered why a man was so obsessed with having offspring. Xie Qingyu had never seemed to care about Rong Xiao much before.
Shen Zhiwei analyzed Xie Qingyu's thoughts and concluded that, apart from blood ties, Xie Qingyu might also resent being manipulated by Rong Yuejun.
Furthermore, with others gossiping behind her back, Xie Qingyu would certainly feel embarrassed.
Don't be fooled by Xie Qingyu's nonchalant attitude; she has her pride too.
Shen Zhiwei didn't hold back in private and gave a scathing critique.
She knew that Xie Qingyu couldn't stand others' pity, so she showed just the right amount of pity in her eyes, while also looking awkward.
Shen Zhiwei asked softly, "Sect Leader Xie, what is the matter?"
Xie Qingyu suddenly turned her head and looked at her like this: "Zhiwei, I don't want anything anymore. I just want you and Xiaochan to live together as a family of three, away from the world, and stop paying attention to all this turmoil. Do you know how tired I am of being the head of the Xie family?"
He said these words to the same woman every time, and Xie Qingyu suddenly felt that this woman was probably quite different towards her. Even if she couldn't distinguish whether the feelings were genuine or not, there were still some differences between them?
Shen Zhiwei's heart skipped a beat; she was far from tired.
Now that the Bixia Sect has successfully advanced in its cultivation level, even if she doesn't say anything, Xie Qingyu already knows that this is a time when Shen Zhiwei's career is on the rise. Shen Xiaochun has entered the Tianyuan Palace and won first place in the annual competition, and is cultivating well.
Even without all the past grudges, who would be willing to accompany Xie Qingyu to some ridiculous seclusion?
Although Sect Leader Xie only spoke, he did not care at all about the situation of others.
Shen Zhiwei couldn't help but click her tongue in her heart.
However, she didn't show it on her face, only a hint of bitterness in her voice: "You treated Rong Jianxian with such sincerity, even sacrificing me, giving so much, I never expected—"
She seemed indignant and unwilling to accept it.
When faced with the choice between the two options, the original owner's interests were harmed, and the word "sacrifice" had nothing to do with Xie Qingyu. However, Shen Zhiwei's words did indeed resonate with Xie Qingyu.
Shen Zhiwei blocked the demon beast, and Xie Qingyu naturally felt that it was her sacrifice.
Because Xie Qingyu felt that she had sacrificed a sincere affection.
Shen Zhiwei continued to nitpick: "Back then, when she traveled thousands of miles to find her husband, I only thought that Rong Yuejun was not only a fairy from the upper realm, but also deeply in love with you. I never imagined that she would actually be toying with you."
Shen Zhiwei felt that Rong Yuejun was sincere at that time, but she couldn't get along with Xie Qingyu afterwards.
But Xie Qingyu definitely doesn't think that way. Since Shen Zhiwei said that, Xie Qingyu must also think that Rong Yuejun deliberately plotted against him from the beginning!
Because Shen Zhiwei kept mentioning Rong Yuejun in his sentences, Xie Qingyu felt quite uncomfortable and said unconsciously, "Why do you need to mention it again?"
Shen Zhiwei was moved and became fierce: "I'm going to bring it up anyway. I want you to know how much you lost someone who loved you for her!"
"Now that the damage is done, it's too late. You treated me like that for Rong Yuejun, how can I easily give in and let it go like this?"
"Thank you, Sect Master. You have made your choice."
As her ex, Shen Zhiwei spoke these words while also revealing her concern: "I think you should take better care of yourself. If something happens to you, or if today's events don't occur, then wouldn't everything in the Xie family be inherited by Rong Xiao? Do you think Rong Yuejun would go along with it?"
Xie Qingyu was suddenly taken aback!
Cultivators have long lifespans, but having experienced the war against demons, each major family will prepare a successor.
Before today, everyone in the four realms knew that Rong Xiao was Xie Qingyu's flesh and blood!
Given Rong Yuejun's strength and ambition, such a scenario was bound to happen.
It can be said that having Rong Xiao as a child gave Rong Yuejun an excellent excuse, giving her a perfect opportunity to seize the Xie family's legacy!
That child was tamed by Rong Yuejun and became completely obedient!
The reason they haven't been able to do so now is simply because the Rong family's influence is still inferior to that of the Xie family, and therefore they haven't achieved much.
He was drenched in cold sweat, his eyes were deep and unfathomable, and he made no mention of retiring.
Xie Qingyu suddenly spoke up: "If I acknowledge Xiao Chan as my daughter and nurture her carefully so that she can inherit the Xie family business, would you be willing?"
Shen Zhiwei was furious. Was this some kind of scheme to steal her daughter away?
However, she did not show it on her face, and only said, "This matter can be discussed later. Xiao Chan is not as good as Rong Xiao, who was personally taught by Rong Yuejun. If she is not as good as him, wouldn't it be a disgrace to Sect Leader Xie? Xiao Chan is delicate and cannot be cruelly tormented by the Xie family."
Xie Qingyu did indeed intend to put her daughter through some hardship and urge her to succeed, but after Shen Zhiwei exposed her intentions, she had no choice but to give up.
The Xie family must produce an outstanding junior; they cannot allow the Rong family to surpass them.
Although Shen Zhiwei said this, she did not think that Xiao Chan was inferior to Rong Xiao, and now she hastily took her leave.
After such provocation, Xie Qingyu still needs to process some of the words herself.
She has almost achieved her goal.
After Shen Zhiwei left, Xie Qingyu composed himself and suddenly realized that he had always valued Rong Yuejun and her son quite a bit.
With Rong Xiao around, although he knew Xie Jue was not promising, he did not bother to cultivate him further.
Although he treated Rong Xiao indifferently, he ultimately regarded Rong Xiao as one of his own.
He even considered that with Rong Xiao combining the wealth of the Rong and Xie families, his future prospects would undoubtedly be incredibly bright.
However, Rong Xiao is not his son.
A hint of anger also appeared on Xie Qingyu's face.
As soon as Shen Zhiwei left Yuanyuantian, the sour taste on her face vanished without a trace.
Of the three families—Rong, Xie, and Ling—she chose Rong Yuejun first.
Now it seems the situation is very good.
However, although Xie Qingyu harbored hatred towards Rong Yuejun, it would still take some effort to provoke the two into a direct confrontation.
Shen Zhiwei carefully considered the psychology of the two and felt that the main problem was Mu Wuxian. If it weren't for Mu Wuxian, this external threat, Rong Yuejun would have already started fighting with Xie Qingyu.
When she looked up, she saw Mu Wuxian holding Shen Xiaochun's hand, waiting for her.
Shen Zhi smiled and thought seriously. The most important thing now is probably to get rid of Mu Wuxian, this external threat, for the Xie and Rong families.
She rushed over, took Shen Xiaochun's other hand, and said to Mu Wuxian, "Senior brother, you must stay with me and not leave."
Shen Xiaochun looked left and right, her face slightly red, but she wasn't embarrassed.
Mu Wuxian wasn't embarrassed and said okay.
