I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade-Chapter 1565 - 370: Lin Fan Is Dead (2)

Nighttime.

The Chen Family Residence.

Ni Zhen was called over by the elder. On the way there, she already knew what the elder would say. These matters, with a little investigation, could be completely uncovered. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

As expected.

The first words from the elder were, "You short-sighted fool," which made Ni Zhen’s face turn pale and red alternately, with anger boiling inside her. But facing the elder, how could she dare to explode? She could only bury it in her heart.

The elder knew that her family once had a good relationship with the Wei Family when they were still in the outer city, so he required her to keep in contact with the Wei Family, and he also told Ni Zhen.

The Wei Family is no longer what it used to be.

The future Wei Qiu is destined to be a great figure in the cultivation world of Central State.

Before he grows up, it’s necessary to build a closer relationship.

Leaving the elder, Ni Zhen walked on the road, clenching her fists, resentment written all over her face, but she had no choice. How could she not follow the elder’s words? Otherwise, there would be no place for her in the Chen Family.

She arrived at the secluded courtyard.

Ni Zhen took a deep breath, adjusted her demeanor, and put a smile on her face as she pushed the door open.

"Father, I’ve come."

Inside, Ni Haisheng drank wine and ate food, unclear whether he was celebrating his grandson being selected by the Immortal Sect or celebrating the excellence of little Wei An’s son.

"Hmm."

Ni Haisheng hummed in his throat without even raising his head, continuing to drink and eat.

"Father, the child has come to see you, yet you just continue to drink by yourself," Ni Zhen’s birth mother complained. Now adorned with gold and silver, enjoying a good life, and accompanied by servants when going out, she had more than enough respect and was incredibly happy.

She knew it was all thanks to her daughter.

Without her daughter, they’d still be in a chicken coop in the outer city.

"How dare I? Now, who doesn’t know my daughter Ni Zhen no longer regards me as a father? Even if I want to see her, it must go through layers of reporting. I dare not claim such a connection."

Ni Haisheng harbored great resentment, and his words were full of sarcasm.

The stepmother walked in, understanding the situation at a glance, "Zhen’er is back. Come, come, have a few drinks with your father. He’s very happy today. It’s because our Wushuang is so outstanding, being chosen by the Immortal Sect. I saw the other Chen family members weren’t chosen, and their faces looked quite ugly."

However, what the stepmother didn’t expect was Ni Zhen’s face turning sour upon hearing these words.

Originally, Wushuang’s selection was indeed something to be happy about, but all the attention was stolen by Wei Qiu.

Bang!

Ni Haisheng slammed the chopsticks on the table, muttering, "What bad luck, I don’t even feel like eating anymore."

Then he looked at Ni Zhen, "Are you here to have me take gifts and go brown-nose your Uncle Lin? In the past, our families had such a good relationship, oh, just because you were favored by the Chen Family you think they are mortals and look down on them? You deliberately distanced yourself from them, and now that Wei Qiu is favored by the Immortal Sect, you want to brown-nose again, is that it?"

"You might have the face for it, but I don’t. All the kindness your Uncle Lin showed you, wasted. Oh, right, they probably don’t dare claim a niece like you now, afraid of being shunned again someday."

Ni Haisheng vented all his dissatisfaction.

His sudden rage frightened the wives, and Ni Zhen’s face grew more and more sullen. Without saying a word, she turned and slammed the door as she left.

"Zhen’er, Zhen’er..." The wife wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by Ni Haisheng’s scolding.

"Father, the child is having a hard time too, why scold her," the concubine said.

"Hmph, do any of you still see me as the head of this family? Since this girl entered the Chen family, what has she turned into? You all should see, oh wait, you can’t see it, you still need her spotlight to live the life you want."

Ni Haisheng’s scolding left the wives feeling utterly ashamed.

Days later.

Wei An and little Xin’er were both wondering how Wei Qiu was doing in the Immortal Sect.

Even though the family had treasures, already lacking nothing in Spirit Stones, they still worried about Wei Qiu’s departure from home, unsure of how he was doing, if he was being bullied or marginalized in the Immortal Sect.

It wasn’t until a cultivator delivered a letter that their worries were put to rest.

The letter was sent by Wei Qiu.

It reassured them that he was doing well at the Baoling Sect, and the sect leader had taken him in as a direct disciple.

This kind of news might not appear significant to Wei An, but when Qi Yan learned of it, she was already stunned. She told them that the leader of the Baoling Sect was a Divinity Transformation stage cultivator in Central State, a top-level cultivator capable of soaring the skies and traversing the earth, just like an Immortal in the world.

More critically, there’s the title of ’Direct Disciple.’

This was like a thunderclap, completely exploding in Qi Yan’s mind.

Being accepted as a direct disciple by the sect leader most likely meant having the right to inherit the sect in the future, meaning if nothing unexpected happened, this grandson might be the future leader of the Baoling Sect.

Lin Fan thought to himself, indeed, gold shines wherever it goes.

Even if Wei An was once obscured, his son could still illuminate everywhere.

As the letter reached Wei An’s hands, the major cultivation families in the city also received the news.

The Wei Family’s Wei Qiu was taken as a direct disciple by the Baoling Sect leader, yet the details of his aptitude had been deliberately concealed by the Baoling Sect. But judging from various signs, would his aptitude truly be poor and still attract the Baoling Sect leader to have the intention to accept him as a disciple?
