"Stop! He's your own brother! How can you harm your own flesh and blood!"
Madam Wenren was clearly frightened by the scene and stood there stunned for a moment. It was the Second Elder who stepped forward to reprimand the ridiculous scene.
Tianning's mental state is stable.
She didn't argue, she just smiled and reached into her mustard seed bag.
Second Elder: "!!!"
Thinking of all the talismans she had just taken out, the Second Elder's survival instinct forced him to retreat in terror.
Everyone: "..."
Wenren Yang was speechless. If you're such a coward, why did you step forward and provoke her?!
Unexpectedly, Tianning took out a basin of top-grade healing pills.
She kindly replied, "Don't worry, you definitely won't die."
Everyone: "..."
This is a living devil who makes life worse than death!
Wenren Yi, being a Nascent Soul cultivator, wouldn't actually die, but she couldn't withstand her reckless spending. Throwing away so many talismans like they were free—who could afford to support such a spendthrift?
It's a good thing the Dragon King gave her so many treasures, otherwise she would have squandered them like this.
However, this strengthened the resolve of the elders who had come. The Dragon King likely had many more good things to offer, and they couldn't let this girl continue to waste them...
They had clearly come prepared. They exchanged glances, and finally, Madam Wenren stepped forward and said:
"Enough! I know you're doing this to get my attention because you're jealous of Xue'er."
Tianning: "???"
Apart from a few elders and Wenren Yi and Wenren Yan, everyone else looked at her in disbelief.
Are you that confident?
Madam Wenren looked at the child with a complicated expression. She disliked the child, finding him vulgar, unreasonable, and lacking any of the decorum expected of a daughter of a noble family. Even after being lost for more than a decade and then found again, she still felt no affection for this child she had never known.
All that's left... is the guilt in my conscience.
At first, she didn't mind if the child went back to Wen's family, as long as she received sufficient compensation.
But this child insisted on competing with Xue'er, making the Wen family's life miserable.
Before she returned, her two daughters were praised for their excellence, especially her beloved youngest daughter, who was highly regarded by the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Her master even said that with Xue'er's strength, she would definitely shine in the Six Sects Competition!
But ever since Tian Ning insisted on joining the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, her Xue'er was sent back from the sect covered in injuries, having lost all her cultivation and barely clinging to life, yet she was still expelled from the sect!
At that time, her heart was broken!
Fortunately, her Xue'er was very strong and tried her best to recover her cultivation. She even regained the favor of the Fuxian Sect and was able to continue to participate in the Six Sects Competition.
Even so, Tianning still wouldn't let her go...
Madam Wenren's voice choked with emotion as she said, "I know you resent me for being biased as a mother, but Xue'er was raised by my own hands after all."
“From the time she was a tiny baby in swaddling clothes, I have kept her by my side. When she had a fever as a baby, I stayed by her bedside all night, and she would say sensibly, ‘Mother, don’t worry, Xue’er will get better soon’; she worked hard at needlework, and even when she got rashes on her body in the hot summer, she didn’t want to tell me; after she found out about you, she would comfort me and ask me to bring you back, just so as not to make things difficult for me…”
Madam Wenren kept recounting the deep mother-daughter bond between herself and Wenren Xue.
