Chapter 1185: Chapter 712
Originally, I thought my daughter sacrificing her own happiness for the benefit of the entire family was already her adorable and commendable trait!
Elder Sann reprimanded, Lin Daiyu’s father is also an Elder, however, he’s more shrewd and wouldn’t make foolish moves like Elder Sann. These Elders joined forces to push her out, using her daughter as a tool for the family’s marriage alliances!
This third uncle, senselessly thinks that her cousin, sharing a husband with so many others, is something glorious!
Bah, shameless fox!
“Third uncle, I respect you, you are an elder, but who doesn’t know you’re a fool? Cousin, is this glamorous? She doesn’t know how others see it.
Cousin shares a husband with so many women, but she’s nothing more than a concubine, and if she gets pregnant, the child is just illegitimate.
Moreover, brother-in-law isn’t even here now. Who knows if it’s an illegitimate child? Did I say anything wrong?”
Lin Daiyu angrily retorted, causing Elder Sann’s eyes to widen and beard to straighten with fury!
The commotion here caught everyone’s attention, and they all looked on!
“Slap slap slap”
Unable to hold back his anger, Elder Sann raised his hand and slapped Lin Daiyu a few times?
As an elder, Elder Sann’s abilities are certainly not weaker than those of other elders. Though he’s a bit foolish, his capabilities still surpass those of a youngster like Lin Daiyu. It’s not surprising to see her cheeks swell up after being slapped for disrespecting her elders, and nobody dared to help her!
“You dare hit me, humph, you old fossil, don’t tell my dad, you fool!” Lin Daiyu had been spoiled from childhood, leading to her sharp tongue.
“You… you insolent brat!” Elder Sann wanted to strike again but was stopped by Lin Dandan!
At this banquet, aside from the villagers who were watching and dining, there were also other members of the Cultivation World present!
Her father stood up for her, which she appreciated, but seeing the family torn apart wasn’t ideal!
This cousin’s mouth deserved a beating, but since she’d already been hit, for the sake of maintaining harmony, it’s best not to let father continue!
“Father, please calm down. Cousin is just young and will understand when she gets older, and besides, cousin has someone she likes, she definitely won’t be like me!”
Lin Daiyu, having been hit, was full of hatred, staring with her reddened, hateful eyes. Unable to fight Elder Sann, she couldn’t let this trouble-stirring cousin go unscathed in front of so many!
“It’s all because of you, acting all high and mighty! Who I like is none of your business, huh! An unashamed, vile person, vile person!”
Lin Daiyu cursed as she lunged forward to attack Lin Dandan!
Lin Dandan had long been wary of Lin Daiyu’s intentions. While a few quarrels as family are inconsequential, an actual fight is no laughing matter!
Especially for someone who’s pregnant, dealing with those who’d lay hands on a pregnant woman — such a rare type of person isn’t unheard of, and here’s one right in front of her!
Luckily, Lin Dandan’s abilities surpassed those of her cousin’s. Although pregnancy made her body somewhat inconvenient,
it didn’t stop her from using spells. A major level’s difference means that even a flexible movement technique would be ineffective against someone with stronger abilities like hers!
Lin Dandan cast a body-protecting spell on herself before lightly pushing Lin Daiyu. Though it seemed gentle, she had already struck an acupoint on Lin Daiyu’s body, rendering her immobile!
She then cast a vine wood spell, binding Lin Daiyu.
Lin Daiyu was full of rage, glaring with the realization that her abilities were outmatched, leaving her only her mouth and eyes able to move!
“Lin Dandan, you vile person, how dare you hit me, how dare you tie me up! I’m going to tell my dad you women are bullying me!”
Lin Daiyu no longer addressed her as ‘cousin,’ full of hatred for this family, with a rivalry between the sisters complete!
“Dandan, what should we do? Tying her up isn’t good!” Mrs. Lin was a bit worried!
“Humph, scared now? Hurry up and release me, or I’ll have you expelled from the family!” Lin Daiyu saw her threats becoming effective, only bitterly regretting her lack of ability, hoping they’d release her so she could lodge a complaint to the family!
This hatred clouded her mind, disregarding any unfinished tasks or the potential spectacle at hand!
And ignoring the rivalry over a man with another woman, her only thought was the humiliation in front of so many, unbearable!
“Dandan, well done. People wish each other well during the Spring Festival, but she only stirs trouble with her venomous words; if she isn’t taught a lesson, who knows how much trouble she’ll cause in the future!”
The anger of Elder Sann supported Lin Dandan’s actions!
He ordered Lin Daiyu to be confined to a room, to prevent her from further disrupting the mood!
Just then, Xuanyuan Mengting received a message: a group of eleven women, along with other members from the Saint Sect and guests from the Ten Great Families, including both men and women, arrived as visitors!
Of course, some people were left for tasks, but they rotated visiting, spending a local Spring Festival together in the north!
Xuanyuan Mengting activated the array, and over a hundred cultivators majestically flew in; these cultivators were all familiar faces!
These familiar faces entered the castle, and the doors were closed once more!
Lin Daiyu noticed someone she liked among those entering, the Dugu brothers, including his sister and her rival Tang Yanqing!
She shot Tang Yanqing a glare, then gazed tearfully at Dugu brothers.
“Brother Dugu, come save me!”
Lin Daiyu’s spoiled willfulness was well-known; among those arriving were familiar faces, but nobody knew precisely who had tied her up?
Although Dugu brothers disapproved of Lin Daiyu’s attitude, given everybody knew each other, and two women competing for him, his expressions and declarations of disinterest belied his hope for Lin Daiyu to be more expressive!
This was a man’s sense of honor, some masculine pretense, where issues lie only in the ladies, nothing on his side!
Even their Saint Master had eleven women!
No comparison could be made to their Saint Master, as Dugu brothers faced the fragile Lin Daiyu with a gentle demeanor!
“Lin Daiyu, what’s happened to you? Who tied you up? Ah, let me help you!”
Lin Daiyu gave Lin Dandan a resentful look, implying that it was her doing!
Dugu brothers ignored everything and went to untie Lin Daiyu!
Lin Dandan didn’t stop them; with more people present, even if Lin Daiyu wanted to stir trouble,
she would have to reconsider!
Dugu Yan’er watched her brother’s indulgent demeanor and sighed in her heart, wondering why her brother was so foolish in situations like this?
It was clearly a spat between women. Although Dugu Yan’er didn’t witness the entire scene, she knew Lin Daiyu wasn’t innocent and must have offended someone; otherwise, Lin Dandan, known for her character, wouldn’t have brazenly fought in front of so many!
The Dugu brothers untied Lin Daiyu, then courteously greeted Lin Father and Lin Mother!
They apologized on Lin Daiyu’s behalf!
Lin Father and Lin Mother assessed the Dugu brothers and decided not to argue with juniors — the lesson was already taught, and that was the end of it!
“She hit me, why are you apologizing on my behalf? How can you do this?”
Lin Daiyu, having been hit, discontent, and without her crush supporting her, felt wronged with the apology!
“Lin Daiyu, haha, a dog can’t stop itself from eating shit. Don’t you know she’s your cousin? You’re a shrew, bullying even pregnant women. Your character is awful, trying to steal my boyfriend now, tsk tsk, such bad character!”
Tang Yanqing seized the chance, mocking relentlessly!
“Tang Yanqing, what I do is none of your business. He’s my boyfriend; what does it have to do with you? Humph!”
Lin Daiyu prepared for a verbal duel!
Dugu brothers felt caught as their two admired women argued, representing an unenviable position; siding with either was impossible, yet they needed to soothe Lin Daiyu first, lest a family quarrel ensues!
“Yanqing, let me talk to Lin Daiyu first, please stop for now, so many people watching affects the atmosphere!”
“Hey, Dugu dimwit, ruining the atmosphere is just great! Causing trouble during New Year, she’s so shameless!”
Tang Yanqing rolled her eyes, ignoring Dugu brothers.
