She also saw a female cultivator who sold the medicinal herbs she grew to the Hundred Women Pavilion and then used spirit stones to buy pills from the shop next door.
Those were spirit stones earned through one's own efforts, a way to support oneself even if one were to fall into a situation like Madam Pei's.
"Other paths?" Old Madam An sneered. "You probably don't know how tough it is outside. The An family has raised you all too well, making you all think you've become capable and that things outside are just as simple as they are at home."
"Is it simple?" An Qinghuan couldn't help but cry. "An Zhengzheng doesn't want to get married, she doesn't want to!"
If the An family treats An Zhengzheng like this, it's hard to guarantee they won't force her to marry someone, even someone she doesn't like.
Does she want to end up like the aunties in the clan?
An Qinghuan cried very hard; she was truly terrified.
...
An Zhengzheng returned to Siyue Gate, delivered the pass token to True Person Wushang, and then hurriedly returned to the cave.
"How are things over there?" An Zhengzheng sent a message.
She doesn't dare go directly to Ghost City now, because the wounds on her body can't be hidden, and she's afraid that An Yirou and the others will worry.
Having not slept for three days and three nights, and having been injured, she was exhausted and had no choice but to struggle through the cave to find medicine.
The contents of the magic bag were long gone, after all, they had been fighting for three days and three nights.
"Sigh, why am I so obsessed with saving face..."
An Zhengzheng was in a lot of pain, but she didn't want others to see her weak state, so she stubbornly endured it.
I dug out the medicine and applied it topically and took it orally. Only after the symptoms subsided did I see An Yirou's message.
An Yirou was puzzled: "Sister, An Qinghuan is here. She's acting strangely. She didn't say anything, just asked if we could let her stay for the night. She must have had a fight with her family."
"Let her stay, just don't let her go to the second or third floor."
That was where the female cultivators made their magazines. An Zhengzheng still didn't quite trust the An family, except for An Yirou, of course.
But recalling the sight of An Qinghuan kneeling on the prayer mat when I went to the An family earlier, I realized it must be no small matter.
But that's none of her business anymore.
"clear!"
The second and third floors contain the contents of next month's magazine. According to An Zhengzheng, no one is allowed to enter or leave until the magazine is completed.
Even An Yi-rou didn't know the contents of the magazine.
She then asked An Zhengzheng with concern, "Is everything going smoothly on your side, sister? Was the task the immortals gave you difficult?"
An Zhengzheng's fingers were in excruciating pain as she replied to the message, but she still replied, "It's not difficult, don't worry."
The two sisters talked for a while longer until An Zhengzheng said she was going to sleep, and only then did An Yirou put down the jade slip.
She frowned and asked An Qinghuan, "Are you really alright?"
Although she didn't have a good impression of An Qinghuan before, An Qinghuan was, after all, her cousin, even though she was only three days younger than her.
An Qinghuan shook her head, somewhat bewildered.
Actually, she didn't know if it was okay for her to speak or not. Her grandmother got very angry, saying that she had been corrupted by An Zhengzheng.
They even said they would make her continue to kneel as punishment to clear her head.
An Qinghuan was not as calm as An Zhengzheng. An Zhengzheng struggled for many years before becoming disheartened, but An Qinghuan was very angry and made a scene. She refused to cultivate the Hehuan Sect no matter what, and even said, "I will not cultivate it even if I kneel for a long time."
To avoid upsetting his grandmother, Anping's father told her to go home.
But she's not going home to get scolded!
Before leaving, she turned around and saw her third uncle Anmao and third aunt Lin Jing looking at her with complicated expressions.
