In Qinghe Garden, Mu Furong was ordering her maid to whip Mi Wei.
In the more than ten years since Mi Wei was brought back to the Hidden Sect, this was the first time Mu Furong had found a "legitimate" reason to be violent towards her.
The maidservant swung her arm and whipped Mi Wei with all her might, each lash producing a sharp crack and leaving a bloody welt.
Mu Furong casually sipped her tea, leisurely enjoying the spiritual tea, and said lightly, "It's not that I don't care about you. I hit you for your own good. I want you to understand at a young age who are outsiders, who are family, who you can't abandon or offend, and who are worth protecting. If you don't even understand these things, how can you become a great person?"
Mi Wei bit her lower lip tightly, her forehead beaded with sweat from the pain, but she endured it without uttering a sound.
She knew that Mu Furong had wanted to hit her for a long time.
The more she screamed, the more excited Mu Furong became, and the more she would be beaten.
If she endures the pain without crying out and remains as obedient as before, Mu Furong might release her when she loses interest.
Mi Wei wasn't without hatred in her heart, but she was very clear about it:
Before Mi Feng Hui ascends to immortality, before she reaches the ascension stage or ascends to the position of sect leader of the Hidden Sect, she has no power to resist.
She is no match for Mu Furong now, nor for the elders of the Mu family and clan who support Mu Furong from behind.
Just as Mu Furong was feeling annoyed that Mi Wei wasn't paying any attention to her.
Jingxiang hurried in and immediately spoke a few words to Mu Furong through telepathy.
Mi Wei lifted the corner of her eye, looking somewhat tired.
She caught a glimpse of Mu Furong, whose eyes suddenly widened as if she had been startled. Then both Mu Furong and Jingxiang looked at her.
Mi Wei quickly lowered her eyelids, pretending she hadn't seen anything, but in her heart she was thinking:
Has something important happened within the sect again?
Or has someone from the Mu family come again, asking Mu Furong for something?
Mu Furong needed the support of the Mu family, and the Mu family also needed the cultivation resources of the Mi family. Therefore, Mu Furong secretly took things from the Hidden Sect's warehouse and gave them to the Mu family members in order to gain their more unwavering support. Mi Wei accidentally discovered this.
However, she has only just established herself as the "young lady" in the Hidden Sect and is not yet capable of managing these matters, so she has not made a fuss about it.
Seeing Jingxiang and Mufurong's secret affair and their strange expressions, Miwei naturally thought of this matter.
Mi Wei was unaware that Mu Furong's plan at this moment was for her to die in place of Mi Xi!
"I understand, you can go now." Mu Furong quickly made a decision after hearing Jingxiang's suggestion.
The choice between protecting one's own daughter or the illegitimate child is a question that doesn't even require thinking about the answer.
She calmly took the Demon-Devouring Dagger from Jingxiang's hand and first let Jingxiang go out to comfort the frightened Mi Xi.
Then, Mu Furong put on a smiling face and walked to Mi Wei's side.
She personally used the Demon-Devouring Dagger to cut the ropes and loosen the shackles on Mi Wei, then cast a cleansing spell on her. Like a loving mother, she gently tidied Mi Wei's disheveled hair while smiling kindly and speaking softly, "Alright, Wei Wei, you've suffered. But I believe you've learned your lesson this time. Remember, you and Xi'er are blood-bound sisters. No matter what happens outside, you must always protect each other and stand by each other's side. This applies not only to you, but also to Xi'er."
