"How long have you been kneeling?" Qiao Ruoxi asked.
Taoist Wu Ya counted on his fingers and said, "It's been three hours."
Qiao Ruoxi nodded: "Let them kneel for another two hours. If they still don't leave, call them in again."
She could still afford to lose her spiritual energy for two hours, and she wanted to see how far Chen Qin could go for her son.
Moreover, she also wanted to know what expressions the Shen family would have when they found out that the person they had been kneeling for five hours was actually her.
I took a short nap on the couch and when I woke up, the sun had already set.
Qiao Ruoxi yawned and called Taoist Wuya over: "Have the Shen family left?"
Taoist Wuya shook his head in surprise and said, "She hasn't left yet. She's been kneeling outside. My two sons tried to persuade her, but it didn't work."
Qiao Ruoxi raised her eyebrows. This Chen Qin had nothing to say to her son, but to the original owner's daughter, she could speak harshly to her and not care about her life or death.
"Let them in." Qiao Ruoxi touched her chin with interest. She thought of something very interesting.
Hearing that the head of Yuanshan Taoist Temple agreed to meet them, the three members of the Shen family were overjoyed, especially Chen Qin, who felt dizzy after being exposed to the sun for an entire afternoon.
I couldn't even believe what I heard.
"Mom, your sincerity has touched the leader, and he has agreed to meet us!" Shen Lingfeng excitedly helped Shen Qin up.
Shen Lingfei was also very excited: "If it weren't for Mom insisting on kneeling here, we would never be able to enter the gate of this Yuanshan Taoist Temple in our lifetime!"
Chen Qin finally realized what was happening and smiled with pale lips: "Great, now Ling Ran can be saved!"
Taoist Wuya looked at them coldly: "The Sect Leader is meeting you out of kindness. If you dare to disrespect the Sect Leader in any way, don't blame us for kicking you out!"
Shen Lingfeng immediately expressed his stance: "How dare we? We are already very satisfied that the Sect Leader is willing to see us."
"Yes, as long as the leader is willing to save the third brother, we will do whatever the leader says!" Shen Lingfei echoed.
Chen Qin also nodded: "We will never speak rudely to the leader."
Taoist Wu Ya sneered and then led the three members of the Shen family to the hall at the back.
"You sit here for a while, I'll go call the headmaster." After Taoist Wu Ya said this, he went to the backyard.
The three members of the Shen family didn't dare to sit down. They had completely lost the momentum they had when they first arrived and paced back and forth restlessly.
Chen Qin repeatedly instructed, "No matter what the Sect Leader says about the Shen family or about us, you must hold it in. Our ultimate goal is for the Sect Leader to rescue Ling Ran. Do you understand?"
Shen Lingfeng and Shen Lingfei insisted that they would never act impulsively.
At this time, the voice of Taoist Wu Ya was heard.
"Master, please come this way. They have arrived."
The two brothers of the Shen family immediately stood up straight, and in order to show his sincerity, Chen Qin knelt on his knees again devoutly.
"If you want to kneel, go outside and don't get in the way here." Qiao Ruoxi said slowly.
Everyone in the Shen family was startled. They felt that the voice sounded familiar, and when they raised their eyes, they met Qiao Ruoxi's disdainful gaze.
"Qiao Ruoxi, why are you here?" Shen Lingfeng frowned.
Shen Lingfei raised his lip and sneered, "I just find it strange. How could the head of the Yuanshan Sect know about the Shen family? It turns out you were the one gossiping about it in front of the head. Qiao Ruoxi, can you not stand to see the Shen family doing well?"
Taoist Wuya was immediately furious. Just as he was about to step forward, Qiao Ruoxi stopped him: "Let them talk. They'll definitely regret it soon."
Shen Lingfeng suddenly realized something, pulled Shen Lingfei's sleeve, and told him to shut up with a look.
"Brother, what are you doing? Everything is caused by her, and you won't let me say a word to her?" Shen Lingfei was not convinced.
"Use your brains. Do you still want to be driven away? Since she can have a say in front of the head of Yuanshan Sect, it means they have a good relationship. If she keeps gossiping and drives us away, then Mom wouldn't have knelt for nothing!"
Shen Lingfei was awakened. Although he was full of anger, he did not dare to speak wildly to Qiao Ruoxi anymore.
Seeing that they had stopped making noise, Qiao Ruoxi yawned and said, "Tell me, what is your purpose in coming here?"
"We are here to find the leader of Yuanshan Sect. Why should we tell you this?" Shen Lingfei still couldn't hold it in.
Qiao Ruoxi nodded: "Okay, then all of you go away."
Shen Lingfei was stunned: "The Sect Leader asked us to stay. Even if you have a good relationship with the Sect Leader, you have no right to ask us to leave, right?"
Taoist Wu Ya couldn't help it anymore and pointed at Shen Lingfei: "I say, there's something wrong with you. It's okay that a dog can't spit out ivory, but how come you can't even understand what people are saying? The leader told you to get out, why don't you just huddle up and get out?"
The three members of the Shen family seemed to have been hit by a wake-up call and were all stunned.
"Master Wuya, who do you say is the leader?" Shen Lingfeng's eyes widened.
"Well, no one in the Shen family is normal. They don't understand what people say."
Taoist Wu Ya curled his lips and said, "Master, it's too much trouble to talk to them. It's better to send them out and leave them alone."
Qiao Ruoxi and Taoist Wuya agreed and nodded, "You're right. Drive them out. From now on, they are not allowed to set foot in Yuanshan Taoist Temple again."
The three members of the Shen family were all dumbfounded.
Chen Qin looked at her two sons and almost vomited blood in anger.
It turned out that she had knelt for nothing this whole afternoon. What she hadn't expected was that the only person who could save her son was actually Qiao Ruoxi...
"Ruoxi, please save your third brother. As long as you are willing to save him, I can kneel down and kowtow to you to atone my sins!" Chen Qin's voice was hoarse, and he took a step forward and knelt on the ground.
Seeing that Chen Qin was about to kowtow to her, Qiao Ruoxi was speechless. It seemed that some people were in conflict with her, and no matter what she did, they would conflict with her.
If it wasn't for the desire to repay her kindness and not be bound by the laws of nature in the future, she wouldn't want to pay any attention to this blood-related adopted mother.
"Tell me, what exactly do you want to see me for? Stand up and tell me!" Qiao Ruoxi said in a cold voice.
Chen Qin was slightly startled and looked up at Qiao Ruoxi.
She looked at her own daughter and felt a sense of fear, just like when she first saw that man.
She realized belatedly that the golden statues in the Taoist temple did not resemble her, but were actually Qiao Ruoxi!
This is not her daughter, and it cannot be her daughter. She is too cowardly to give birth to such a daughter.
Chen Qin slowly stood up, with a humble attitude: "My son Shen Lingran's soul has been taken away. I beg the master to save my son."
Shen Lingfeng and Shen Lingfei both looked surprised.
How could a mother be so respectful to her daughter? Shouldn't she help her brother when he's in trouble?
Qiao Ruoxi sat down in the headmaster's seat, picked up the tea beside her, took a sip, and spoke slowly.
“Ms. Shen, you should know that there is no free lunch in this world.”
