Madam Wenren's so-called punishment was nothing more than a few light words to the brother and sister. With Wenren Xue's aggrieved and apologetic attitude, she didn't even say the harsh words she originally wanted to say.
After all, she was the daughter she had raised herself. Even if it was really Xue'er's fault, her heart was still biased.
"I'll have someone go to the shop and buy some of the latest styles of clothing and jewelry, and have them delivered to her courtyard later. Let's leave it at that."
Zuo You is just a child who grew up in the mortal world, and can be easily appeased with some gold and silver.
In the eyes of cultivators, ordinary gold and silver are not as valuable as a low-grade spirit stone.
As far as Madam Wenren was concerned, the compensation sent to Tianning was insignificant. She knew that her two children didn't care about such a small thing; they were just jealous and being petty.
"Mother, are you really going to let that brat get away with this so easily?"
Wenren Yang was so angry he jumped up and down; he had never suffered such a loss in his life.
"Alright, she's just a mortal who can't cultivate, and her lifespan is no more than a hundred years. Why should you take her seriously?" Unwilling to talk about Tian Ning, who was causing her so much trouble, she turned to Wenren Xue and said with concern, "Xue'er, you've only recently formed your core. You mustn't let this little thing destabilize your Dao heart and affect your cultivation."
"Mother, don't worry, I won't let my sister's immaturity affect me," Wenren Xue replied sensibly.
She noticed the fleeting look of disdain in Madam Wenren's eyes when she spoke of Tianning, which showed that her mother truly had no motherly affection for this sixth sister.
Especially after witnessing Tianning's unreasonable behavior, Mother must be extremely disgusted with this so-called biological daughter!
This made her secretly relieved.
Immediately, Wenren Xue suggested with a smile, her words full of concern for Tianning: "Since my sister cannot form a contract with a dragon and has a limited lifespan, why don't we have the family spend more spirit stones to buy a spirit pet to form a contract with, so that my sister can join the Beast Taming Sect as an outer disciple?"
Wenren Yang said, "Sister, you're just too soft-hearted. She's just an ordinary mortal who can't cultivate, sending her to the Beast Taming Sect as an outer disciple to sweep the mountain gate is already giving her too much credit!"
Madam Wenren sighed and looked at Wenren Xue with affection, saying, "This is not something your mother can decide; it depends on your father's opinion."
That's what they say, but everyone knows that the head of the family has always valued the family's interests the most.
If Tianning were exceptionally talented and successfully contracted with the dragon race, this matter might be possible. However, faced with a descendant who would bring no benefit to the family, the family head would not be willing to waste resources on such a person!

Wenren's master didn't arrive home until the afternoon.
He was extremely busy during this period because of the new secret realm that appeared near the Fuxian Sect.
The eight great families fought tooth and nail for a spot to enter the secret realm, and he didn't even rush back to care for his beloved daughter when she was in the Core Formation stage.
If the First Elder hadn't sent a telepathic message saying there was something extremely urgent that he couldn't explain in detail, he wouldn't have returned at this time.
"What exactly happened?"
He followed the Grand Elder all the way to the ancestral hall, and seeing that the Grand Elder had already set up restrictions around the area to prevent eavesdropping, he couldn't help but frown.
What could make the Grand Elder so cautious?
"This matter concerns the Sixth Miss's contract with the Dragon Clan..." After the incident yesterday, the First Elder went to the records left by the Immortal Ancestor to inquire about the Dragon Ancestor. He already knew how revered the Dragon Ancestor was to the Dragon Clan. If this matter is not handled properly, I'm afraid the contract between the Wen family and the Dragon Clan will be affected.
The Grand Elder had to be extremely careful, lest the information be leaked.
"That child we brought back from the mortal realm? What mistake did she make? Did she offend the elders sent by the Dragon Clan?" The patriarch's tone was unfriendly; this was the biggest mistake he could think of Tianning had made.
If only I had only offended the Dragon Clan Elder...
The elder wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and told the family head everything that had happened the day before.
"Are you sure that really is the Dragon Ancestor..." The head of the Wen family was filled with disbelief.
How big must that pancake be?
I wouldn't even dare to dream of it! But... well, they'd have to be capable of taking it all!
"It's absolutely true! The Dragon Clan has already made a unanimous statement. They will absolutely not allow Miss Six to form a contract with the Dragon Ancestor! Now, this matter... you and the Dragon Clan will have to discuss how to handle the follow-up."
"Yes, yes... not having a contract is the right thing to do."
The head of the Wen family felt dizzy and disoriented; he didn't want the dragon clan to come and destroy the entire Wen family.
"Quickly open the Dragon-Summoning Stone! I must personally apologize to the Dragon Clan. Don't keep the senior dragons waiting!"
The Grand Elder dared not delay and hurriedly injected his blood into the Dragon-Guiding Stone to contact the Dragon Clan.
Soon, the scene of the Dragon Palace appeared where the Dragon-Guiding Stone appeared.
Unlike before, when the Dragon King sat majestically on his throne, exuding an aura of dominance, his ministers below him maintained their imposing presence, creating an overwhelming sense of pressure just by looking at them. Now, the Dragon Palace resembled a bustling marketplace, with the dragons shouting and clamoring without any regard for their image, almost ready to fight.
"Oppose! Absolutely oppose! Not a mere brat who hasn't even grown a beard yet can touch a single hair on the Dragon Ancestor's head!"
"But this is a pact between the former Dragon King and the human race, witnessed by the Heavenly Dao. How can we break our promise?"
"Bullshit! He, the former Dragon King, isn't even worthy to carry the Dragon Ancestor's shoes!"
"She's just a little girl, let's just give her something and send her away!"
...
The head of the Wen family and the eldest elder remained completely silent, not daring to interrupt.
"Ahem..." The Dragon King coughed lightly: "Stop talking so recklessly! The Wen family head is watching. What kind of behavior is this!"
The dragons managed to pull themselves out of their emotions and stopped their earlier shrewish tirade, but some still stepped forward, worried: "This concerns the Dragon Ancestor, please consider this carefully!"
"That's natural."
The Dragon King appeared extremely majestic, but in reality, he was uncertain.
Even now, no dragon has the guts to tell the Dragon Ancestor about this matter...
"In my opinion, it would be better to compensate that little girl as we just discussed. What does Master Wenren think?"
