Qiu Yun tilted his head. Spirit Cleansing Pills could change the aptitudes, but the Xiao family must have done more than taking the pills.

“Spirit Cleansing Pills alone can’t help him go that far. I guess he made some fortunes when he was overseas. They seemed to escape from something when they came back.” Qiu Yun had a hunch that the Xiao family came back because they flaunted their wealth and got hunted down.

Mu Yun nodded and said, “It’s possible. However, it’s his fate, and it’s pointless to investigate.”

“That’s right, but the Xiao family is so lucky!” Qiu Yun said sullenly.

“Indeed,” Mu Yun smiled bitterly. Guo Yi kept saying Dongcheng Yang was so cunning that he recruited Xiao Jinting to be the First Elder, who turned out to be an ancestor. Guo Yi was green with envy, regretting not recruiting Xiao Jinting into Spiritual Medicine Sect.



At Peerless Sect.

Qiao Xiang drank one cup of wine after another in a bad mood, and two female cultivators entertained him.

Luo Yuting saw this from afar and hid away.

If it had been a few decades ago, Luo Yuting would have felt angry because Qiao Xiang fooled around with other female cultivators. However, as the scars on her face worsened, she didn’t interfere with his business anymore.

Along the way, several female cultivators saw Luo Yuting and started whispering.

“Is that Senior Luo? She is pitiful. I heard that she was injured by a demonic beast years ago, and her face was disfigured.”

“It’s a pity. She would get whatever she likes as the wife of Mr. Qiao if she hadn’t been injured.”

“Senior Luo is too weak to get the upper hand in front of Mr. Qiao’s concubines.”

“Are you kidding? How dare she make a fuss? It’s not easy for her to come out.”

“In my opinion, if she is sensible enough, she should ask for a divorce. She’s ugly, and she shouldn’t drag Mr. Qiao down.”

“That’s right! What is she to be the wife of Mr. Qiao? She has neither good aptitude nor powerful family.”

Luo Yuting walked into her seclusion room. Back then, she made efforts to stop the worsening of her wounds. However, she tried all methods in vain. In desperation, she went to Qiao Xiang for help, but he said she was disgusting and slutty.

Knowing that she couldn’t count on Qiao Xiang, Luo Yuting chose to go into seclusion to cultivate hard. After the news of her disfiguration and seclusion spread, many female cultivators seized the chance and swarmed to Qiao Xiang, who took them all.

Luo Yuting frowned. As far as she knew, Qiao Xiang had two more sons and one daughter during her seclusion.

Luo Yuting lowered her head and felt a chill in her heart. She sensed Qiao Xiang was not happy from the glimpse of him.

Luo Yuting thought about it and understood. Qiao Xiang had always thought highly of himself. Although he didn’t like Chen Xu, the latter’s rejection hurt his pride, so Qiao Xiang had been competing with the Xiao family.

Now that Xiao Jinting had advanced to Nascent Soul, Xiao Xiaodong, Xiao Xiaofan, Xiao Xiaofu as well as Chen Xu are making no smaller progress than him. How could Qiao Xiang swallow his anger?

Luo Yuting sighed and vaguely felt that it was a mistake to come out of her seclusion.



“Qiao, I think I saw Senior Luo just now,” a girl in blue said timidly.

A violet-clothed woman covered her mouth with surprise in her eyes. “Senior Luo came out of seclusion?”

Qiao Xiang narrowed his eyes, his heart churning. Years ago, after he fell out with Luo Yuting, her face was disfigured.

He regretted holding a grand wedding ceremony for her, and everyone knew that he had a disfigured wife.

Qiao Xiang had thought of divorcing Luo Yuting, but people would accuse him of cruelty if he did that right after she was injured. Afraid to ruin his reputation, he dropped the idea.

After Luo Yuting tried in vain to heal her face, she sensibly went into seclusion.

Out of sight, out of mind. Qiao Xiang saw that she hid away, so he didn’t force her to divorce.

When he learned that Luo Yuting had come out of her seclusion, Qiao Xiang unconsciously clenched his fists and thought to himself, “Luo Yuting has been in seclusion for so long. She chose to come out when Xiao Jinting held the Nascent Soul celebration. This woman must have come out to laugh at me.”

Qiao Xiang recalled that he had sworn many times in front of Luo Yuting that he would advance to Nascent Soul and trample the Xiao family to make Chen Lifeng regret and get Chen Xu to understand that what he had missed. His face burned in shame.



At Green Cloud Immortal Sect.

“Luo Yuting is dead,” Chen Xu looked at Xiao Xiaodong.

Xiao Xiaodong glanced at Chen Xu and asked, “What’s wrong? Do you suspect that I killed her?”

Chen Xu shook his head and said, “No.”

“Luo Yuting was indirectly killed by Qiao Xiang. I thought of killing her myself, but Qiao Xiang’s women did that before I did anything.”

Xiao Xiaodong gave a mocking smile. Years ago, Luo Yuting framed Chen Xu in order to marry Qiao Xiang.

Now the women around Qiao Xiang killed her in order to take her position.

Xiao Xiaodong guessed that Qiao Xiang might kill her personally if the women didn’t do it. Qiao Xiang was too proud to allow Luo Yuting to move around in front of him.

Qiao Xiang cared about his own reputation, so he couldn’t bring himself to kill Luo Yuting. He indulged the women to do that, and he might even encourage them.

Chen Xu sighed and said, “It’s retribution.”

Xiao Xiaodong nodded and thought, “Isn’t it retribution? Luo Yuting might have never expected that she would get killed because she was the wife of Qiao Xiang.”

“Qiao Xiang isn’t a good man.” Chen Xu couldn’t help but feel glad that he didn’t marry Qiao Xiang. He could hardly imagine what his life would be like if he married such a ruthless man as Qiao Xiang.
