Chapter 2: The family scandal is exposed
Zhong Ling'er felt the power controlling her disappear, and she took action immediately. Since she could no longer rely on the Lingjian Sect, she would just get some benefits for herself. In short, she was an indestructible cockroach, and as long as the hand of fate loosened its grip, she would resist, resist, and resist again.
Zhong Ling'er knelt in front of her mother Li Sirou with a plop. She held a small seal in her hand and said, "Mom, this is the family seal my father left for me. You told me yesterday to give my place as a direct disciple to my cousin and then follow her into the sect as an inner sect disciple. The family seal will be kept by my uncle, which will ensure that I will have no worries about food and clothing in the future. I am so touched that you think of me like this."
"I have thought about this for a long time. You remarried to my uncle, but his position as the head of the family is not stable. For the sake of your future life, I give this seal to you. I only ask mother to give me the original manuscript of my father's "Heavenly Evolution Sixty-Four Formations" so that I can keep it as a memory. You and my uncle have already copied several copies of this formation, so it is useless to you."
Everyone was shocked. This was a big news. Many voices were immediately heard.
"This 'Heavenly Evolution Sixty-Four Formations' can be said to be the life's work of Master Zhong. Logically, it should be passed on to future generations. It should only be given to his wife for temporary safekeeping. Why does he need his daughter to exchange it for the family seal?"
"This girl is too young. She doesn't know what the seal of the family head means. Master Zhong gave her the seal of the family head, which means he designated her as the next family head. If she hands over the seal, it means she has handed over the Zhong family."
"What's the point of her holding the seal of the head of the family? His uncle didn't have the seal of the head of the family, but he still became the acting head of the family. If it weren't for the Third Master of the Zhong Family arguing so fiercely with him, the word "generation" would have been removed from him long ago."
"It is said that the wife of the head of the family played a significant role in Zhong Zhenhai becoming the acting head of the family. I heard that several of Master Zhong's disciples were expelled from the Zhong family by her. Otherwise, this little girl might have really become the head of the family."
"I knew there was something fishy about this. Madam Zhong actually asked her daughter to give up her position as a personal disciple and become an inner sect disciple. Is she really a real mother?"
"What's the point of loving your mother or not? When your father dies and your mother remarries, everyone should take care of themselves. But this little girl is so pitiful!"
"What do you think of being the direct disciple of the Spiritual Sword Sect? Can this position be given up just like that? How can Madam Zhong be so sure that the Spiritual Sword Sect will agree to it, and even say that he can become an inner disciple?"
"Well, is there any need to explain this? It's a heavenly wood spiritual root. It's hard to find a heavenly spiritual root in a hundred years. Which sect wouldn't be vying for it? The Spirit Sword Sect already has four direct disciples, so there's only one spot left. Who would you give the spot to?"
Li Sirou's expression changed again and again, anger and shame intertwined on her face, and her beautiful face became distorted.
Zhong Zhenhai was also stunned for a moment, then his face was as gloomy as water. He walked forward and pulled Zhong Ling'er up and said, "Ling'er, this is a family matter. Let's talk about it when we get home."
Zhong Ling'er said uncontrollably, "Okay, Ling'er will listen to uncle in everything."
This time Zhong Ling'er did not resist, but waited calmly. She blinked her eyes and felt that the scene was not lively enough, so she could add some fuel to the fire.
So when his body regained its freedom, he turned to Zhong Zhenyue who was standing beside the ring and said, "Uncle San, it seems that my mother and uncle don't want to trade with me. Then can you give me the copied "Heavenly Evolution Sixty-Four Formation Diagrams" and I will exchange it for the family head seal?"
This was a piece of cake. Zhong Zhenyue immediately flew onto the stage, took out a book from his storage ring, and said loudly: "Ling'er, if you want the formation diagram, just tell your uncle." After that, he stuffed the book into Zhong Ling'er's arms, and his other hand reached for the family head seal.
Suddenly, there was a surge of spiritual power, and Zhong Zhenyue's hand was blocked by an invisible wall of energy, unable to extend any further. He was furious, "Brother, what are you doing? Ling'er took the initiative to exchange this with me."
Zhong Zhenhai also said angrily: "Ling'er is still young and naive. This kind of important matter should be decided by her mother."
"Mother?" Zhong Zhenyue glanced at Li Sirou with contempt. "Second sister-in-law, ah, no, I should call you eldest sister-in-law now. You treat Yuxue more dearly than your own daughter. If Ling'er is counting on you to make decisions for her, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave her behind."
Then, regardless of his former second sister-in-law who had been humiliated by him and wanted to find a hole to hide in, he turned around and said to Zhong Ling'er kindly: "Ling'er, you said you wanted to exchange with Third Uncle, right?"
Zhong Ling'er was enjoying the show very much. Her third uncle tore off the original owner's mother's face and stepped on it under his feet, just to see if she could continue to be the gentle and generous lady of the house as if nothing had happened.
As for Third Uncle's request, Zhong Ling'er glanced at Zhong Zhenhai. She didn't believe that her uncle would let Third Uncle get the family head seal. Even if they had to fight in public and kill each other, he would never let go.
Sure enough, seeing Zhong Ling'er hesitate, Zhong Zhenhai immediately glanced at Li Sirou, and the coldness in his eyes was self-evident.
Li Sirou was startled and immediately took out a book and said, "Ling'er, what use do you have for the copied formation diagram? This is your father's manuscript. If you want it, mother will exchange it with you."
After saying that, Li Sirou immediately snatched the family head seal from Zhong Ling'er's hand and put the book in Zhong Ling'er's hand. She did it in one go, fearing that Zhong Ling'er would go back on her word.
Zhong Zhenyue wanted to stop it, but Zhong Zhenhai stopped him. The two exchanged two moves and stopped when they saw that the outcome was already decided. Zhong Zhenhai showed a look of joy and knocked Zhong Zhenyue to the stage with one palm.
Zhong Ling'er didn't care about their life or death. She opened the book and took a closer look. It was indeed the handwriting of her stepfather. Of course, it not only recorded the sixty-four formations. If all the papers were taken apart and put back together, it would be a large formation that far exceeded the ninth grade. The "Tian Yan Demon Sealing Formation" was the life's work of that genius formation master.
Many people below were whispering that Master Zhong had built the Zhong family's empire single-handedly and had always been good to his brothers. After his death, his two brothers fought over the family inheritance, and the eldest brother even married his wife. However, none of these relatives had ever thought of treating his precious daughter well.
Now that Zhong Linger has handed over the family seal, the Zhong family, one of the six major families, has completely fallen into the hands of Zhong Zhenhai.
However, some people were thinking that Zhong Ling'er was not playing by the rules and was performing this drama in public. I wonder what good it would do her.
Zhong Ling'er said that there are too many benefits.
First of all, my father’s formation diagram is a priceless treasure. Fifty years later, when the demons invaded, Zhong Yuxue took out this formation to seal the Demon Abyss and became a savior-like existence.
Secondly, the cheap mother is a selfish woman who only loves herself. In the third life of the original owner, she wanted to ask her mother for help, but this woman poisoned her own daughter and almost caused the original owner to die thirty years early. Today, she was embarrassed in public, which was also a way for the original owner to vent her anger.
