"Aunt, you have been too tired these past few days and need a good rest."
As Meng Qinghe finished speaking, several Supreme Realm powerhouses appeared behind Meng Wanyang.
"Meng Qinghe, I am your aunt. You followed me since you were little. I raised you. How can you treat me like this now?" Meng Wanyang's last hope was shattered. Some people's roots are rotten; no matter how good you are to them, it's useless.
"Aunt, you raised me, and Qinghe will be grateful forever. So, in the future, whatever cultivation resources Aunt needs, your nephew will definitely send them to you."
Meng Qinghe's tone changed, and he exuded an aura of authority. "However, Aunt, you should also know your status. Once certain things are done, even your nephew cannot protect you."
Meng Wanyang stumbled back a step. She understood. From now on, she was nothing to her nephew.
"Take my aunt to rest. Unless I summon her, it's best not to leave."
"Meng Qinghe, our Meng family will eventually be destroyed by your hands." Meng Wanyang yelled. Meng Qinghe wanted to destroy their Meng family. No, this person never considered them family.
A smile played on Meng Qinghe's lips. The Meng family was his sole reliance; how could he destroy it? He wasn't that foolish.
Back in her room, Chu Lingwei sat on the bed, feeling bored. She believed it wouldn't be long before Meng Qinghe came to find her.
So annoying.
"Miss Chu, were you frightened just now?" As Chu Lingwei was mentally complaining, he appeared before her.
"Not really, but..." Chu Lingwei looked at Meng Qinghe. Perhaps he wasn't what he appeared to be.
"But what? Miss Chu, if you have anything to ask, I will not hide anything." Meng Qinghe smiled faintly and sat at the table, looking at Chu Lingwei. His face remained gentle, but the air in the room seemed to drop several degrees.
Chu Lingwei sat opposite Meng Qinghe. "I don't believe you would kill your own father for a woman and want to disrupt your Meng family's rules. So, do you hate the Meng family?"
"Miss Chu, you are indeed clever, but there is one point you are mistaken about." Meng Qinghe waved his hand, and a table full of delicacies, spiritual fruits, and vegetables appeared before them.
"Which point?"
"I genuinely like you."
Meng Qinghe looked directly into Chu Lingwei's eyes. He truly wished to form a Dao companion with Chu Lingwei, and his mind would not change even if she was unwilling.
"So, I am merely a facade for you, a facade to rebel against the Meng family. The Meng family is truly cunning." Chu Lingwei felt a deep sense of disgust. This person was simply a despicable villain.
"Miss Chu, if you were in my position, you would hate the Meng family even more. The Meng family should not exist in this world. Do you agree?"
Meng Qinghe looked up. The killing formation that had been set up in Songcheng alone, and the countless cultivators who had died in vain, the Meng family's guilt was no small matter.
"Patriarch Meng, I am tired. Please leave."
Chu Lingwei stood up and directly asked him to leave. Such a person was too hypocritical and terrifying.
"Miss Chu, the night is late. Get some rest."
Meng Qinghe stood up and turned to leave.
"Master, I will find a way to leave this place." Shui Zhu stepped forward. As long as this was a barrier, there would naturally be a way to leave, they just didn't know it for now.
"No need to rush. Go rest. It should be safe here for now." Chu Lingwei shook her head, telling Shui Yi to rest. She lay on the bed, deciding to rest for a while and plan for the future later.
Chu Lingwei then settled down in the Underwater City. However, she never saw Meng Wanyang again. Without a doubt, Chu Lingwei could guess her fate.
"Miss Chu, aren't you going out for a stroll?" Meng Qinghe saw Chu Lingwei sitting by the window again, watching the cultivators coming and going outside. His eyes flickered. "Our Underwater City, we just can't leave, but apart from that, you can find anything you desire."
"But there is no freedom here."
Chu Lingwei glanced at Meng Qinghe. Didn't cultivators want to contend with the heavens and control their own destiny? He had directly stripped them of this hope. What was the point of staying here?
"Freedom?" Meng Qinghe burst into laughter. "Miss Chu, do they have freedom even if they return to Xuantian Continent?"
"On Xuantian Continent, they don't have the cultivation resources here, nor do they have to worry about death. As long as they cultivate diligently here, they can definitely break through and become powerhouses."
Meng Qinghe said with great confidence, "Tell me, if these people really returned to Xuantian Continent, at what moment would they perish?"
"So this is how your Meng family acquired so many experts," Chu Lingwei murmured. The Meng family provided these people with cultivation resources, and they were loyal to the Meng family. It was an exchange, and neither side lost out.
"As long as they are obedient enough, they can definitely return to Xuantian Continent."
What Meng Qinghe truly desired was the entire Xuantian Continent.
So, this person had such great ambition.
Every day, Chu Lingwei would take Shui Yi to wander the streets, look at what new things were available outside, and buy them directly. What Meng Qinghe said was true; the resources here were indeed far more abundant than on Xuantian Continent. As long as she accepted the Meng family's tasks, she could generally obtain what she wanted.
"Master, are we really going to stay here forever?" Shui Yi's mission was to protect Chu Lingwei. It was her responsibility that Chu Lingwei was trapped underwater.
"Mm, let's stay here for now."
Chu Lingwei nodded. After knowing Meng Qinghe's ambition, Chu Lingwei no longer worried that he wouldn't leave. She began to observe the place slowly.
As long as it was a false appearance she had set up, it would definitely be fake and could not become real.
"Quick, come and see! These are our newly arrived young Water Spirit Beasts. Everyone, come and buy!" Chu Lingwei had just walked into a small alley when she heard the sound of hawking.
Curious, Chu Lingwei stepped forward and found that a crowd had already gathered in front of a small stall, all scrambling to buy the Water Spirit Beasts being sold.
"Master, these Water Spirit Beasts can all grow into Rank 8 or higher spiritual beasts in the future."
On Xuantian Continent, even powerhouses in the Third Heaven realm could not possess Rank 8 or higher growth potential spiritual beasts. No wonder they were snatching them up so fiercely.
By the time Chu Lingwei squeezed her way to the front, only one dirty and unappealing worm was left on the stall.
"Fellow Daoist, I'll sell this one to you cheaply, a thousand low-grade spirit stones." The stall owner saw Chu Lingwei's look of disdain and began to promote it. "This spiritual worm can grow into a Rank 8 spiritual beast and has formidable combat power. It can help you in the future."
"Forget it, I don't want it." Chu Lingwei shook her head. She really couldn't bring herself to buy it.
