Yuan Yingying was a "commoner's daughter" who had been left behind by the Yuan Family's Patriarch. Two years ago, her birth mother had passed away from illness and she had no home to return to. Patriarch Yuan had brought her back to the Yuan Family and announced her identity.
At that time, there was a lot of resistance. They believed that her bloodline was impure and that her status was unjustifiable, so she couldn't stay in the Yuan Family.
It was the Yuan Family's Patriarch who stood his ground and allowed Yuan Yingying to become the Yuan Family's Second Miss.
"Family Master, let's get down to business. I heard that the eldest miss is quite outstanding, and she even led her guards to kill our Blue Mountain Range's greatest threat, the Demonic Ape." An old man in his sixties interrupted Yuan Yingying's intimate conversation with her father and smiled at Yuan Wanbi.
The Yuan Family Head let go of the two ladies' hands and returned to his seat as the Family Head. His face was filled with gratification and joy.
"Wanbi, you've done well this time. You've made the Yuan family proud! Men, bring the Devil Ape up. "
The three-meter-tall demonic ape was strenuously pushed up by four burly men.
Staring at the ferocious Demonic Ape, all the uncles in the house looked at it. They were both surprised and gratified. They exclaimed in admiration, "This is the evil Demonic Ape that wreaked havoc in the Blue Mountain Range! We've paid a great price all these years, but we didn't expect to die in the hands of Miss. "
"Young Miss has made a great contribution this time. Your contribution cannot go unnoticed."
All of them were praising Yuan Wanbi.
Yuan Yingying was ignored on purpose, so she stood alone beside Su Yu.
Yuan Yingying bit her red lips as she looked at her elder sister, who was the center of attention. There was envy and bitterness in her eyes.
Yuan Wanbi replied modestly, "Uncles, you must be joking. How could Wanbi kill the Demonic Ape with her meager cultivation? It was a powerful senior who was passing by who injured her and instructed me to lead a group of people to chase after her. That's how we managed to bring her corpse back. Wanbi really didn't do anything. "
These words sounded modest, but she pointed out something else.
An expert was guiding her!
Su Yu wasn't just instructing her, but the whole team.
Yet, Yuan Wanbi had taken care of everything, and it seemed like she was somehow related to that expert.
As expected, the surroundings fell silent.
As a matter of fact, the Demonic Ape hadn't been killed by Yuan Wanbi, and they knew that it had most likely been an accident.
Hearing that there was an expert helping them, everyone was relieved.
The Yuan Family's Master's eyes flickered as he asked, "Wanbi, why did that expert save you for no reason? Do you know who he is? Are you acquainted with the Yuan Family? "
The fact that he was able to kill the Demonic Ape meant that his strength was no small matter.
At the very least, the Yuan Family's Head was not confident that he could eliminate that cunning Demonic Ape.
Yuan Wanbi furrowed her brows and shook her head. "Senior didn't show himself, and we only heard his voice. We didn't see him."
The eyes of the Yuan Clan's Patriarch flickered, "Without showing his face, he heavily injured the Demonic Ape and left it half-dead in front of you?"
Many people in the room narrowed their eyes.
What kind of divine ability was this?
Yuan Family's Master pondered, "There are only two possibilities for him to be able to do this. First, his realm is too high, and he killed the Demonic Ape across space! The second is a soul body. In other words, it could be a senior Divine Master. "
These words caused the atmosphere in the room to suddenly freeze.
Regardless of which possibility it was, such an expert was not someone they could afford to offend.
Especially the second possibility, Almighty Divine Master!
This was because those who could leave their bodies with their souls were definitely Almighty Divine Masters, or even stronger.
"It's a pity that we weren't able to invite this senior to our Yuan Family as a guest," the Yuan Family's Master said regretfully. His gaze lingered on Yuan Wanbi, as if he was waiting for her to learn something.
Yuan Wanbi's eyes flickered, as if she had suddenly understood something. "Father, it seems like that senior was in the vicinity of the Demonic Ape Mountain all along, but he didn't kill the Demonic Ape. It was only when I ran into danger and was captured that he attacked."
She was implying that the senior had attacked for her sake.
She had intentionally overlooked the fact that Yuan Yingying had also been captured at the same time.
"Moreover, I found his voice somewhat familiar, and I felt as if I had heard it somewhere before." Yuan Wanbi wasn't lying about this, as she really did find his voice familiar.
Su Yu, who was beside her, couldn't help but stroke his nose as he thought to himself, Of course you found his voice familiar. Didn't that voice belong to me?
Even though Su Yu had tried to lower his voice, he still couldn't conceal it.
"Well?" The eyes of the Yuan Family's members lit up.
Could it be that the senior that she was familiar with had killed the Demonic Ape for her sake?
Exchanging a few glances with each other, everyone's faces hid a faint hint of happiness.
Yuan Wanbi had brought many pleasant surprises to the Yuan Family, and if they could befriend a Divine Master because of her, then besides the Shangguan Family, who would dare to provoke the Yuan Family?
"Wanbi, no matter what, you did well this time. You brought back the Demonic Ape and brought honor to the Yuan Family, and you even got to know an expert." The Yuan Family's Master had a smile on his face. "The Yuan Family has always been clear about rewards and punishments, so you should be rewarded handsomely."
Yuan Wanbi rejoiced inwardly when she heard him.
Even her father, who was the Family's Master, couldn't mess around with the family's rewards. Thus, as the Family's Master's daughter, she had to follow the rules and perform meritorious deeds for the family.
"Yuan Wanbi has made a third-grade meritorious deed, so she will be granted a chance to cultivate in the Elixir Pool. She will be awarded two Seven Star Precious Crystals. She will be awarded twenty crystals. "
The Elixir Pool? Yuan Wanbi was overjoyed. The Elixir Pool was the Yuan Family's top-notch secret land, and precious elixirs were placed there all year round. As such, the water in the pool was filled with elixirs' power, and if one cultivated in it once, it was highly possible for one to break through to the next level.
As a Three Crystals Half Fairy, Yuan Wanbi might even be able to break through to the Fairy Realm.
As for the Seven Star Precious Crystals, they were extremely precious elixirs that were refined from Demonic Cores, and they were extremely beneficial for one's breakthrough.
As for the last twenty crystals, they were still quite rich.
She was quite satisfied with her gains from this trip.
"Ah Qing, you have made a meritorious deed by leading the team, so you will be awarded two Jade Spiral Elixirs and ten crystals. As for the other guards, they will be awarded one Jade Spiral Elixir and one crystal."
After everyone had been rewarded, the Yuan Family's Master looked at his youngest daughter, Yuan Yingying. A tender look appeared in his eyes, but he still wore a stern expression. "As for Yuan Yingying, since she led the team together with Yuan Wanbi, she will be given the same reward. She will be granted a chance to enter the Elixir Pool …"
However, before he could finish his words, he was met with opposition.
A white-haired old man stroked his beard and said, "Patriarch, there are less than two months before the Yuan Clan's Grand Competition begins. The top ten all have a chance to enter the Dan Pool. If the Dan Pool's medicinal energy is depleted too much now, causing the Dan Pool to be insufficient for ten people two months from now, I'm afraid many of the branch families will be dissatisfied."
"Wanbi has always been respected in the family, and she's the proud daughter of the clan. She's also made a great contribution this time, so even if she joins Dan Chi, the branch families won't have any objections. But Yingying …" The gray-haired old man sighed. "Forgive me for being blunt, but if she's like Dan Chi, it'll be difficult to convince the others."
"Moreover, Miss Wanbi deserves the most credit this time. As for Yingying, she was just following them, so she doesn't really count."
Seeing the family head's face turn dark, the white haired old man said, "If the family head really wants to reward us, we can do it in the family competition in a month. When Yingying obtains a ranking, we will be able to shut the branch family's mouth."
Everyone agreed with what he said.
They spoke one after another, treating Yuan Yingying as an outsider.
The Yuan Family Head's face was gloomy. He was under immense pressure.
"Father, Grandpa Pojun is right. It's all my sister's credit. I didn't do anything, so I can't ask for a reward." Yuan Yingying stepped forward and opened her bright eyes wide.
When the white-haired old man heard her, he praised her, "Yingying, you're quite sensible. Not bad. Grandfather has high hopes for you."
Since she was already in such a state, what else could the Yuan Family Head do?
"Fine. Yingying, you should go and cultivate properly. You must strive for a ranking in the competition." The Yuan Family Head looked at his daughter, who was being ostracized.
He had already tried his best to take care of her, but the family didn't approve of her, so she couldn't do anything.
Yuan Yingying went back to Su Yu's side. Her body shivered slightly, and her small hands, which were hidden in her sleeves, were still shivering.
She wasn't angry, nor was she infuriated. She was just sad.
"Fine, the meeting is adjourned." The Yuan Family Head's interest waned.
However, at this moment, an illusory voice drifted over from the sky.
"So, it's here."
The abrupt words startled everyone present.
The Yuan Family Head's residence was heavily guarded, so no one could intrude.
"Who is it?" The Yuan Family Head stood up abruptly and looked around with his deep eyes.
The illusory voice echoed once again, "I just came here to verify whether that evil creature was eradicated or not. I was in a rush just now, so I came back to verify it. Since it's already dead, I won't stay here any longer."
What? Is it that expert?
The Yuan Family Head looked at Yuan Wanbi, who nodded at him with an excited expression.
The Yuan Family Head was overjoyed. "Senior, take care!"
He could faintly feel a wave of soul power, which shocked him even more. It was obvious that an Almighty Divine Master's soul body was in the vicinity.
"What's the matter?" the illusory voice echoed.
The Yuan Family Head said, "Senior, I can't express my gratitude to you on behalf of the whole Yuan Family for saving my two daughters. I hope that you can show yourself so that the Yuan Family can repay your kindness."
The Yuan Family Head was quite excited, as were the other family members. They all knew that whether or not they could befriend this Almighty Divine Master would depend on this moment.
"There is no need for that." The Yuan Family Head was quite disappointed, but it was still reasonable.
After all, an Almighty Divine Master was such an existence that the Yuan Family wouldn't be worthy of his attention.
"However, your daughter is quite lovable, and I got along well with her. I will come here often in the future. If I'm in a good mood, I can take her as my disciple and give her some pointers in her cultivation." The illusory voice's words made the Yuan Family Head ecstatic.
Take her as a disciple?
If such a relationship were to spread, who would dare to harm the Yuan Family in the future?
"Wanbi, why don't you thank the senior?" Defeating Armies's face was flushed, and he was quite delighted.
The other elders were also quite envious and gratified.
Yuan Wanbi had really helped the Yuan Family greatly.
Yuan Wanbi's face became flushed, and she was quite excited. She smiled and bowed respectfully. "Thank you, senior. I won't let you down …"
However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the illusory voice.
"Who are you?"
The sudden question caused everyone to freeze.
Yuan Wanbi also froze, and the smile on her face froze.
After the Yuan Family's Master calmed down, he said carefully, "She is my beloved daughter, Yuan Wanbi. Senior, what do you mean?"
"Oh, she is also your daughter. However, the daughter I am talking about is that little girl. What is her name?" the illusory voice asked.
Yuan Yingying, who wore a bewildered look, was dumbfounded. All of a sudden, she was pushed by something, and she staggered to the center of the hall.
Her?
The whole hall became deathly silent.
Was the Divine Abode referring to that bastard who had returned from outside?
Only the Yuan Family's Master revealed a delighted look. "Senior, she is also my beloved daughter, Yuan Yingying."
"Yingying, why don't you quickly come over and thank the senior?" The Yuan Family's Master was quite delighted. It wasn't convenient for him to give his daughter any benefits, but if a Divine Master were to do so, wouldn't his family have anything to say about it?
Moreover, the Yuan Family didn't have the fortune of being taught by a Divine Master.
The Yuan Family's members would probably go crazy with jealousy over such a great fortune.
In fact, many of them might even change their attitude and try to curry favor with Yuan Yingying.
After all, her fate in the family might change for the better.
"Oh, ah … Okay, okay …" Yuan Yingying was confused, so she kowtowed and thanked the senior clumsily. "Thank you, senior. What is your name? Why didn't you come over?"
The Yuan Family's Master was startled, as he couldn't believe that she could ask a senior's name so directly.
Fortunately, the Divine Master was fond of Yuan Yingying, so he laughed and said, "My name is Long, so you can just call me Old Long."
"Oh, Grandpa Long." Yuan Yingying giggled.
Grandpa Long?
The corners of the mouths of the Yuan Family's members twitched. Only this silly girl would dare to call a Divine Master grandpa!
Even the corners of Su Yu's mouth couldn't help but twitch. He had just created a fake identity with great difficulty, yet he was being called grandpa by Yuan Yingying.
"Hehe, you should just focus on your cultivation for now. I will come back and give you some pointers when I have time."
"Goodbye."
As the voice faded away, the Yuan Family's members were still in shock, and they couldn't get over it for a long time.
When the crowd came back to their senses, their gazes were like sharp swords as they looked at the silly Yuan Yingying. Their gazes were like torches, and it seemed like they wanted to burn her to ashes.
They had originally planned to write the fourth chapter, but they had unknowingly reached the fifth.
