Chapter 181 Uninvited Guest
"How can I force someone to death who hasn't even set foot into the border of the Ten Thousand Demons Valley?" Mu Nanyue curled the corners of her mouth slightly, her tone sarcastic.
"Bang—" The head of the Mu family slammed the table, stood up, and glared at Mu Nanyue, "You, you dare to disobey me!"
Over the years, no matter how her father or mother mocked her or spoke ill of her, Mu Nanyue could just not care, or even have no reaction at all.
But the only thing she cared about was whether her parents would help her when there was a conflict between her and Mu Siyue.
If Mu Nanyue was simply scolded by her father, she would usually choose to remain silent, but if her father favored Mu Siyue, then Mu Nanyue would immediately feel wronged and unbearable.
Therefore, when Mu's father questioned her again and again, Mu Nanyue refuted him without hesitation.
The head of the Mu family widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief. He could never have imagined that his daughter, who was always used to being patient, would be so bold as to openly talk back to him!
He was furious and felt that his daughter was becoming more and more outrageous.
Just when he was shaking with anger and almost losing his mind, suddenly, as if he had thought of something important, his face became stiff, and he looked at Mu Nanyue in astonishment and asked: "You...you have recovered your spiritual power?"
Only then did he remember that the teacup he had just thrown out did not fall to the ground as usual, but...
Thinking of this, Father Mu's shocked eyes fell on Mu Nanyue's calm face, and suddenly he smiled coldly: "Okay, okay, it turns out that you have the confidence to recover your cultivation, so you have no respect for your elders!"
The head of the Mu family thought that Mu Nanyue's change was because she had recovered her spiritual power, so she became more arrogant, so arrogant that she even looked down on him, her father.
"Father, don't be angry!" Seeing that the head of the Mu family was furious, Mu Siyue immediately stepped forward to explain for Mu Nanyue.
"Actually, what my sister said is right. Yue'er was not trustworthy. She clearly promised to go to the Ten Thousand Demons Valley, but she did not go because my mother had a headache, which delayed the matter. It is reasonable for my sister to be angry." Her tone was gentle and soft, with a self-blaming and guilty expression on her face.
As she spoke, Mu Siyue raised her head and looked at Mu Nanyue, her eyes full of tears, and she said with a hint of grievance in her voice: "Sister, I didn't mean to break the agreement."
"Mother has always had a minor headache problem, as you know, and I am the only one who knows a little bit about medicine and can help relieve her pain, so when I heard that Mother was not feeling well, I rushed over in a hurry and forgot our agreement for a moment."
"But I hope my sister won't be angry with me. After I recover, I will definitely continue to compete with my sister."
Look how cleverly she put it!
Now it was Mu Siyue who was concerned about her family and became confused, and Mu Nanyue, the legitimate daughter of the Mu family, became an unfilial person.
Because she did not take care of her sick mother like Mu Siyue did, but was only focused on the competition and completely ignored her family.
Sure enough, after hearing what Mu Siyue said, the head of the Mu family became even angrier.
He glared at Mu Nanyue fiercely, as if he wanted to vent all his anger on her. With a "bang", Mu's father slammed the table next to him with his outstretched hand.
He glared at the calm Mu Nanyue and gnashed his teeth, "Rebellious girl! It seems that the previous punishment of kneeling did not teach you a lesson."
Mu Nanyue looked at her furious father without much emotion.
"In that case, then stay in the forbidden area in the back mountains for another three months. If you still don't repent, you will never come out again!"
After leaving these words, the head of the Mu family snorted coldly, turned around and walked away.
Mu Nanyue: “…” Hehe.
She looked at the back of the head of the Mu family leaving, her eyes as calm as water. Madam Mu, who was dignified and generous, glanced at Mu Nanyue calmly, then sighed, "Yuer, you have recovered your cultivation, and mother should be happy for you, but you shouldn't be so arrogant and make your father angry..."
Mu Nanyue looked up at Madam Mu, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
As she spoke, Madam Mu slowly stood up, and Mu Siyue beside her tactfully reached out to help her up.
Mu Siyue had a concerned smile on her face and said softly, "Mom, don't be too sad. Maybe my sister just didn't think much about it and acted impulsively..."
Seeing this, Madam Mu patted her hand as if to comfort her, then turned her head to look at Mu Nanyue, the gentleness in her eyes dissipated a little.
She said coldly, "Reflect on yourself and don't go anywhere recently. If your father finds out that you sneak out and get into trouble again, your mother will no longer speak for you."
After leaving these words, Madam Mu didn't even look at her and left with the very well-behaved and considerate Mu Siyue.
If it were in the past, Mu Nanyue would have been nagging her family members and crying bitterly over their cold and ruthless behavior.
This time, she won't.
Their daughter had died long ago, in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons in their previous life.
Living a new life is an opportunity that Mu Nanyue has obtained after going through untold hardships. It has nothing to do with them, and she has nothing to do with the Mu family.
Mu Nanyue looked at their departing backs, feeling calm.
After rebirth, she understood many things. In her previous life, she was too naive and stupid, thinking that family love could overcome everything, but she didn't know that the coldest thing in the world is human heart.
Mrs. Mu seems gentle, but in fact she is selfish. Mu Siyue seems kind, but in fact she is extremely hypocritical. Father Mu is even more cruel and heartless. He completely abandoned her after she failed to cultivate herself.
Thinking of her past life, Mu Nanyue clenched her fists and took a deep breath before calming down.
In fact, the reason why she suddenly wanted to come back this time was because there was something that had not been resolved...
The guards at the door slowly came behind her. They seemed to be accustomed to this situation and said in a cold voice, "Miss, please!"
Mu Nanyue did not respond, nor did she even glance at the two guards. She still stood there steadily, as if she had not heard anything at all. However, in an instant, her figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
When he appeared again, Mu Nanyue's figure had already appeared in the forbidden area in the back mountain.
After half a month, she returned to this familiar place again, and her mood finally became relaxed and happy.
She walked in leisurely, and then set up a simple formation around her to completely isolate herself from the discussions from the outside world.
The guards whispered, "Have you heard? The young lady has inexplicably recovered her cultivation, and can even flash directly from the guest hall to the forbidden area in the back mountain. This strength must have improved again!"
"I wonder who is more powerful compared to the second young lady?"
Another guard said disdainfully: "Even if her cultivation is restored, so what? The young lady is still so ignorant!"
"Look at how gentle and considerate Miss Siyue is. She always puts the head of the family and Madam Mu first. She is really filial and kind, and she is also capable. She is nothing like the eldest lady who is willful and reckless!"
