Tianning blinked: "But I haven't officially recognized my ancestors yet."
"Why don't we wait until we acknowledge our ancestors and return to our clan before kneeling? That way, it will be perfectly legitimate."
The Xuanyuan family head's lips twitched. Was this how she was supposed to be used?
Growing increasingly dissatisfied with this audacious girl, the Xuanyuan family head began to doubt his earlier decision.
I thought that the other party would feel guilty for lying to enter the Xuanyuan family and would be cautious for fear of being exposed. I never expected that this girl's audacity would be so outrageous!
For the sake of the family's interests, the head of the Xuanyuan family suppressed his anger.
Before he could even pay his respects to the patriarch, an extremely terrifying spiritual force struck, narrowly missing the left side of the Xuanyuan family head and sending the sharp-tongued girl flying several meters away!
Witnessing the person who was just moments before, now lying on the ground half-dead, the Xuanyuan family head was shocked:
"Ancestor, please calm your anger!"
"Don't worry, you won't die."
A young male voice came from the courtyard, his tone calm, yet it made the kneeling Xuanyuan family head tremble involuntarily.
"But...we still need to use this girl..."
"As long as she has a breath left before the ceremony begins, that's fine," said the Xuanyuan Ancestor nonchalantly. "If she were sensible, it wouldn't matter if she had a few more good days. It's just a pity that she's eager to die."
"Yes! Yes! Ancestor, your insight is brilliant!" the Xuanyuan family head replied repeatedly.
Seeing that the unconscious Tianning was being taken away, and that the patriarch had no intention of seeing him, the Xuanyuan family head wisely withdrew.
On the way back, he encountered his furious son, Xuan Yuan Cheng, who was completely unable to accept it. He said impatiently, "Father, where is she?! She must be lying. If you don't believe me, make her come out. I must ask her all the details in person..."
"Enough. She is indeed a child of the Xuanyuan family who has been separated from her family." At this moment, the head of the Xuanyuan family was no longer trembling with fear. He said loudly in an unquestionable tone, "She is a blessed person. She has been chosen by the ancestor and kept by his side to be personally taught. This matter ends here. Her staying with the ancestor will not have any impact on you in the future."
Everyone knows that apart from the head of the family, the patriarch rarely sees anyone.
Knowing that his partner and son had indeed been wronged in this matter, the Xuanyuan family head patiently dealt with his son for a long time.
If Tianning heard his words, he would definitely return this good fortune to the head of the Xuanyuan family!
Tian Ning wasn't actually knocked unconscious by that old ancestor. She had put on several layers of clothes made by the old man early in the morning, which gave her a great sense of security. Even if a Tribulation Transcending Realm expert came, she could still jump around!
Feeling the two people dragging her deeper into the darkness, the incongruous dampness, coupled with the pungent stench, made Tianning realize clearly that she was underground...
She didn't open her eyes, but ever since she came in, she could hear some strange sounds. The sounds were so incongruous that Tianning wasn't sure what they were.
The two people who brought Tianning in threw her on the ground, fed her an unknown pill, and then left.
As the footsteps faded into the distance, Tianning opened his eyes and met the gaze of a long-haired woman whose head and body were tilted at a 45-degree angle through the iron bars.
The other person had long, straight black hair that was disheveled and a pale face. If Tian Ning hadn't been certain that this was the cultivation world, he would have thought he had stumbled into a horror movie.
