Chapter 72: The Collapse of Xue Yaowen

  There is still nearly a month's time before the Central Academy assessment, and all the students in Jinshui Domain are working hard to cultivate their skills, entering the final sprint stage. Xue Lingyun is no exception, although she has the unique Spiritual Sea of Life, passing the assessment is almost a certainty, but she still insists on cultivating every day, because apart from this, she can't find anything else to do. Most importantly, the Central Academy assessment will definitely have many powerful people, who knows what the situation will be like at that time?

  It was almost noon when Xue Yaoyao walked out of the quiet room, because Master asked her to go to Changhong Array Tower today. After washing and dressing up, she said goodbye to her parents and was about to leave when her mother's voice came over.

  "Girl, it's almost time for lunch, where are you going?"

  "Go to the tower, Master asked me to go over for a trip."

  "Eat first and then go, there's a guest coming home at noon, you can stay and have lunch together too."

  Guest?

  Xue Ya covered her mouth, she was a girl who liked quietness and disliked noise. She said: "Mother, you also know that I'm not used to eating with strangers."

  "If it were any other guest, I would have let you go, but today's guest is special, and you must stay to entertain them."

  "Stay and accompany the guest?" Xue Yiwen was momentarily stunned, her beautiful eyes blinking repeatedly, as if she didn't dare to believe that this sentence came from her mother's mouth. After a long while, she asked in surprise: "What did you just say? You want me to stay and accompany the guest? What kind of guest is it, why do I have to accompany them?"

  "Just stay if you're going to stay, no need for so many useless words." Rong Hui raised his hand slightly impatiently and said: "I'm busy with your father now, come over and lend a hand."

  "Mother, who's coming after all?" Xue Yiwen curiously followed in, but as soon as she stepped into the living room, she was stunned. She stared at the dishes on the table, feeling unbelievable, and muttered: "Cloud Spirit Dew Wine, Flower Moon Lotus Fruit, North Pole Blood Coral, Blue Spirit Spring Water... Good heavens! Mother, have we gone overboard?" Xue Yiwen knew that whether it was Cloud Spirit Dew Wine or Flower Moon Lotus Fruit, or even North Pole Blood Coral and Blue Spirit Spring Water, these were all spiritual items that their family had treasured for many years. She couldn't imagine what kind of guest would make her parents spend so much.

  It seemed as if she sensed something, Xue Yaoyao's expression changed to one of delight, and she asked: "Mother, is Grandfather coming?"

  "Your grandfather is wandering around the world, I don't know where he's having a good time, and he's too lazy to come over."

  "If it wasn't for his uncle, how could his father bear to take out his treasured spiritual goods? This is also too abnormal."

  "You little scamp, do you think your old man is so petty in your eyes?" Xue Yunshan walked out and glared at her fiercely, saying: "What's this about only when your grandfather comes...” He stopped mid-sentence because he found his wife's gaze, which was both smiling and not smiling, had already shifted over, so he wisely shut his mouth.

  Suddenly, a neighing sound came from outside, and Rong Hui laughed: "Oh? Maybe our little guest has arrived?"

  "Haha! It should be."

  Xue Yunshan burst out laughing and went to open the door. Rong Hui Chang followed him, while Xue Yi Wan ran over with curiosity.

  The gate opened, and a horse carriage stopped outside. A boy in blue clothes picked up four brocade boxes from the carriage, with two under each arm. When the boy turned around, Xue Yuyan's expression suddenly froze in shock. She never expected that the noble guest her parents had spent so much money to entertain would be... Chen Luo.

  "Oh dear! Your uncle and I just invited you over for a simple meal, why did you bring things along?"

  "Little Luo, little Luo, it seems you're treating your uncle like an outsider!"

  The host couple warmly welcomed, Chen Luo politely asked, and walked into the yard, leaving only Xue Xiao's stunned expression in a daze, because she couldn't understand how her parents knew Chen Luo, did they have any social interactions? No way? And yet they called him "Little Luo", had they known each other for a long time? How come she didn't know at all? If it were just this, it would be fine, but during the meal, what made her even more stunned was that her parents showed extreme care and concern towards Chen Luo, asking about his well-being, and almost pushing all their precious treasures in front of him.

  Looking at this scene, Xue Yiyan couldn't even believe her own eyes. She had an illusion that Chen Luo was their real son at this moment, and she was just a child picked up by her parents on the side of the road.

  "Hehe, Xiaoluo, was there anything you didn't understand in the Linghai notes I sent to you last time? Our family's Xiangwan has been clumsy since childhood, so the notes she took might be a bit careless too. If there's anything you don't understand..."

  Xue Yiwen listened more and more uncomfortable, what is Linghai Notes? What's so careless, suddenly thought, surprised to ask: "Mother, you... didn't you take my notes..."

  "What's wrong?"

  "That's my notebook."

  "What's wrong with that? You've already opened up your spiritual sea of fate, lend it to Xiaoluo for a look. Look at how stingy you're being."

  "You casually take my things and give them away, yet you still say I'm petty...I..." Xue Yiwen was on the verge of tears.

  "Girl, you're really something. It's just a notebook, isn't it? By the way, you've already opened up your Spiritual Ocean for more than two years now. From now on, share your experiences and insights with Xiaoluo, got it?"

  Rong Hui Zhang is indeed the president of Rongyao Guild, and when he speaks, no one dares to refuse. At the dinner table, he has the final say, and even the Domain Master doesn't have the right to speak. Later, he even brought up Xue Qianxun's past from childhood to adulthood, making her extremely embarrassed. She tried to stop him multiple times, but it was no use. Rong Hui Zhang simply treated her embarrassing stories as jokes to tell Chen Luo.

  "Hehe, Xiaolu, you might not even believe it when I tell you, but the first time our family's Yuwen had an accident in bed..."

  Xue Xiangyun now hated to find a seam in the ground to drill into, and she kept tugging at her mother's hem, signaling her not to continue. Hearing this, she felt her cheeks burning, opened her eyes wide, and hastily said: "Mother, how can you tell outsiders such things..."

  "Haha, look at this silly girl, she's actually blushing now. What is there to be shy about? It was your own doing in the first place." Rong Hui teased with a smile: "Haha, when the silly girl blushes, it's quite pretty too."

  "Mother!" Xue Yiyan was on the verge of collapse, her originally beautiful face now completely red, staring with her beautiful eyes, and said shyly: "Don't talk nonsense, okay?"

  "When did I ever lie and say you're pretty? Should I say you're ugly instead? Let Xiaoluo tell us, is our family's Yuwen beautiful?"

  "Ah... " Chen Luo, sitting across from her, was at a loss for words for a moment, his expression somewhat strange, because he hadn't expected Xue Tian's mother to ask him such a strange question, but still nodded and said something nice.

  She collapsed, Xue Yiwen had never been so embarrassed before. She didn't know what was wrong with her mother today, and she even asked Chen Luo, who hesitated with a puzzled expression. After thinking for half a day, he finally managed to say that she was beautiful, the bastard, very reluctantly?

  "Xiao Luo, our family's Xiaoyu is a bit temperamental sometimes. You should take care of her more often, especially after you both enter the Central Academy. That place can be chaotic, so you must look out for each other..."

  This meal was extremely embarrassing for Xue Rong, who was fidgety and on the verge of collapse. Chen Luo also felt quite uncomfortable, as seeing Xue Rong's embarrassed expression made him want to laugh but couldn't bring himself to do so, feeling stifled and uncomfortable all over. The atmosphere seemed a bit awkward. Xue Yunshan suggested taking Chen Luo to the study to take a look, and after they left, Xue Rong's suppressed anger finally erupted.

  "Mom! What were you doing just now, always talking about my embarrassing stories in front of outsiders? Do you know how embarrassing this is for me?"

  "What's so embarrassing about it? It's your own silly story, telling it to amuse everyone and make them laugh, isn't that a good thing?"

  "Mom, if you want to have fun, do you have to use my embarrassing moments to have fun? Am I really your biological child?"

  "Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Mother is also thinking for your own good." Rong Hui said while savoring the Yun Ling wine, "Someone like Chen Luo with great potential, if we don't take him down now, it will be too late when he enters the Central Academy."

  "What does this have to do with me? You and Father can curry favor with whoever you want, why say it's for my sake." Xue Yiwen knew that whether it was her father or mother, currying favor and investing in talented individuals were necessary means, she didn't approve of it but wouldn't oppose it either.

  "Silly girl, why aren't you showing any interest? Your mother is trying to find a fiancé for you."

  What!

  Xue Xiang suddenly stood up, looking pale and frightened, and exclaimed: "Un-unmarried husband? Heaven! Did I hear that wrong?"

  "What's with the sudden surprise? You're not young anymore, I started dating and talking about love at your age."

  "But I'm still young, I still need to take the imperial exam, what romance and love are you talking about? Aren't you always teaching me that my main focus should be on self-cultivation?"

  "It was the past, and I hadn't met someone with great potential like Chen Luo. Now that I have, I must seize the opportunity. If I let him slip away, it will be too late to regret it later. Your mother was too slow back then, so she ended up settling for your father, a useless person... do you know or not?"

  Xue Xiangyun didn't have the mood to listen to that matter between her mother and father, saying: "How did you two get acquainted with that guy, I don't know anything about it."

  "You spend all day cultivating, you don't care about anything else, how would you know?" Rong Hui nodded for her to sit down and said: "I've already given your notes to him. Next time, use this as an excuse, when you have nothing to do, go find Chen Luo more often. Feelings are slowly cultivated, once he gets used to your existence, you can grasp it firmly in the palm of your hand."

  "Should I cultivate feelings with Chen Luo?" Xue Yiwen took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down and suppressing her crumbling heart, saying: "Mother, from your tone, it sounds like I'm not good enough to get married. Am I really that worthless in your eyes? Has it fallen to the point where I have to take the initiative to cultivate feelings with someone?"

  "Haven't I told you before? Chen Luo is a man with great potential, and we must take the initiative to attack him in order to bring him down."

  "A person with great potential? Chen Luo, isn't he just someone who opened the eighth spiritual meridian? What's so special about him? I'm not inferior to him. Not only did I open the eighth spiritual meridian, but I also successfully opened the Sea of Fate, it's unknown whether Chen Luo can do the same. Even if he does, at most he'll be on par with my daughter, I'm no worse than him, why should I take the initiative to cultivate feelings for him?"

  Foolish girl, foolish girl, you only know that Chen Luo opened the eighth spiritual vein, but you don't know that he is also the master of Tianqi Pavilion. With the help of Wei Tiandong, it's only a matter of time before Tianqi Pavilion becomes a world-class commercial pavilion. If you marry Chen Luo, you'll have everything you want in the future, and your life will be a hundred times more prosperous than your mother's.

  As for Chen Luo's identity, Wei Tianlong had once instructed her not to reveal it to others, so Rong Hui Chang could only vaguely say that Chen Luo had great potential.

  "Sister won't harm you, listen to me and it'll be fine."

  At this point, Xue Mei was at a loss for words, especially when her mother asked her to take the initiative to develop feelings with Chen Luo, which hurt and angered her. She was angry at her mother's tone that implied she couldn't get married, and hated Chen Luo, this sudden "fiancé" who had somehow manipulated her parents into being completely taken in by him.
