I saw my father come out from the guest hall, and he smiled suspiciously. Looking at that smile, I pondered.

Could it be love has truly blossomed between them? Will I get a new mom? Did Mom know about it?

I mean, I know Mom is open about Father having a concubine, but I've never seen Mom and the saintess lady meet.

Ugh, I want to ask Father about this, but I am afraid to meddle in his business.

Not knowing what to do, I just stared at my father till we got to the front gate. Maybe feeling uncomfortable, my father asked, "Yueyin, what's the matter?"

"Emm... Papa, will I get a new mother?" I decided to be blunt.

Feeling startled, my father lost his composure. "What's a new mother? Why did you ask that?"

"I mean, you look happy after talking to that saintess lady. Is that saintess lady going to be my mother soon?"

"What are you talking about?! Saintess Ziyin and I were just friends. We are fellow sect members from the past. Anyway, don't talk to your mother about this, okay? Or she will beat me up. You know how terrifying she can be when she's angry."

Indeed, my mother was a demon when she was angry, but his behavior was very suspicious. Did he cheat on my mother and want me to keep it a secret?

To be honest, I really want to tell Mother about this, but I am afraid our family will collapse. I mean, he just needs to get permission from Mother, then it will be good. I mean, he is a man after all; it's understandable to want a harem.

After careful thinking, I nodded understandingly and said, "Hmm... Okay. But give me something in return."

My father sighed feeling wronged about what happened. "Then I will give you this sword that I have when you reach the Nascent Soul Realm. I will also be doing some modifications on it so it will suit you."

Hooray! I get a cool big sword to travel the world. It's so good to blackmail people; no wonder people in my last life liked to blackmail someone.

"Yey... I love you, Papa," I said as I hugged him.

My father sighed helplessly and said, "Let's go home."

"Okay."

So we flew away from the Jin family, but I have this feeling that I need to look back or I will regret something. But when I look back in the direction of the Jin family, I see Jinshen shouting desperately from the front gate.

Yueyin,---- --- me!

I ---- ---- up

- ---- not --------- you

Also, - ---- you

I see him shouting desperately, but...

What the f**k is he talking about?

We are already a bit far away from the Jin Family. Even with my enchanted hearing, I can't hear him clearly. But when I look at my father...

Why is he frowning? Did Jinshen perhaps offend my father? But right now, his OP grandpa probably has been activated, and won't let anyone hurt him, even more so when he's still weak. I can't let my father die.

So I held my father's hand and said, "Papa..., Please don't hurt him."

Because I don't want you to die; Mother still needs you.

My father sighed and fell silent the entire way to our home.I feel very disturbed by this silence treatment.

Could it be, Father angry at me? But why? Could it be because I found out about his affairs?

Ugh, it's not fair. How can he be angry at me? I just want to maintain family stability.

When we get home, I saw Mother and Xi Hong waiting for us at the front gate. Their faces looked worried. I wonder why?

And when I got off, I immediately was hugged by my mother.

"Yueyin, my baby, are you all right? It must have been hard for you," my mother said, as if comforting me.

"Young lady, I don't know how you feel right now, but you must be strong, okay? As for young master Jinshen's matter, let's pray that he will reincarnate to a better place."

Aaah, now I see how it is. They thought Jinshen was dead and I would feel sad.

"Jinshen is still alive; I saved him," my father chimed in before continuing, "Also, Jinshen and Yueyin's engagement will be broken as of today."

Yes... I am officially free from a political marriage Horray.

I saw Mother and Xi Hong looked at me with pity. Why?

"Yueyin, you don't have to pretend to be fine. We're all here for you, you know," my mother said while glaring at my father.

"Yes, young lady, we will always support you."

Emmm... Did they perhaps misunderstand something? Even the annoying Xi Hong was not that annoying compared to yesterday. Then I just need to prove that I am fine.

"Emmm... Actually, Jinshen and I didn't love each other... I just liked him as a friend," I said while smiling at them. "Anyway, I will go back to my room right now to cultivate," I said as I left them and went to my room.

"Dear, I think we need to talk," I think I heard Mom say that from afar.

Wow, no kidding! Is that the legendary woman intuition? Even my mother instantly knew that he was having an affair. Women are indeed scary. Wait, I am a woman myself. Is that why I know that Father is having an affair with the saintess lady? Whatever, I need to cultivate to wield my cool big sword

........,..........,..........,.......,.......,.........

Meanwhile, a moment earlier at the Jin family front gate, a boy was shouting desperately at the departing father and daughter of the Yun family.

"Yueyin, wait for me!

I won't give up.

I will not disappoint you.

Also, I love you!"

After saying that, the boy sighed with relief, finally able to satisfy his heart. That boy was Jinshen.

"Finally, I am able to say it," Jinshen said with satisfaction when suddenly a mysterious voice spoke.

"So that's the girl you fancy, huh? You sure have interesting taste."

Feeling startled, Jinshen looked at his surroundings but did not see anyone.

"Who are you? Show yourself," Jinshen asked cautiously.

"Look at your hand, kid."

Jinshen was surprised when he looked at his right hand; well, he found nothing.

"I mean your other hand."

"You just had to tell me which hand."

When he looked at his left hand, he saw a transparent female ghost about the size of a palm floating above his ring.

"A ghost!"

"it's my first time someone called me that. If you are not the one who released me from the seal, you would be dead in a mere second. Well, now that I am bound to you, I can't kill you."

"So who are you? I don't remember releasing you. Why are you in this cursed ring?"

"You are not worthy to know my name. Now that I think of it, you are quite young. There's no way you are the one who unsealed me, and you are too weak. Anyway, this must be fate, kid. Help me build a body, then I will help you reach the peak in this puny world."

'Did this ghost really think she could fool me?'

"Don't make a face like that. I know you don't believe me, but you have no choice, right?"

'She's right. I don't have any choice right now. Whether she was a demon or not, as long as I can cultivate and see her again, I will gladly give my soul.'

.......,.........,.....,.......,........,..........,....

Meanwhile, in the Yun family chamber hall, Yun Bao and Yun Qian sat at the table facing each other.

"So, dear, why did you break the engagement between the two?" Yun Qian said while smiling coldly at her husband.

"Qian Qian, I have a good reason for this. Seeing her behaving like that hurt me too, but it is for her own good," Yun Bao said, pleadingly.

"Oh, tell me the reason."

"The reason is I don't want our daughter to suffer love tribulation. I know how much she liked him, but if the partner is someone who can't cultivate, I am afraid it will affect her attitude toward cultivation. She is a good kid; maybe she will sacrifice her own cultivation for him. I don't want that. Our daughter deserves better. This world is cruel; I want the best for her, even if I have to be a villain in her eyes," Yun Bao said with a determined face.

Hearing that, Yun Qian sighed, seemingly in understanding.

"Then why did you bring her there? She is a very fragile child. She doesn't even have the guts to kill an ant," she said sadly.

"That's why it's a problem. She is too naive. You dote too much on her, and it's my fault too for secluding her in this place. Even when Jinshen was on the verge of death, she did not feel sad. She is the one who thinks death is just sleeping. This attitude is very dangerous in this world. So you must train her after this. I want to send her to a sect. Being secluded in this mountain is not good; we must let her go to see the world."

"All right, I understand. I will thoroughly teach her all the survival skills needed in this world."
