Chapter 218: Uprooting the Roots

Chen Lei also realized what he had said.

His face turned Cāngbái, and he said to Wan Jian Cang, "Brother-in-law, don't listen to his nonsense; I truly am Chen Ju's younger brother. Look how much I resemble my sister."

He hurried to find a remedy, but his words sounded unusually Cāngbái and feeble.

At this moment, Chen Lei's cultivation also fully returned to Wan Ren's body.

Wan Ren closed his eyes; after so many years, he finally sensed abundant strength within his body, and he no longer felt as weak as before.

No wonder he previously thought he was injured, yet could never figure out what was happening.

Now the whole truth is clear.

Chen Lei lay on the ground, his face Cāngbái.

He now only possesses a nascent Golden Core stage of cultivation, and his foundation is exceedingly tenuous.

However, at this point he finally regained consciousness.

Chen Lei still wants to live.

"Brother-in-law, I know I was wrong; please spare me."

"Chen Ju, you've deceived me for so many years. This boy is your lover, isn't he? You kept him by your side all this time. How many disgusting things have you done behind my back?"

The Ten Thousand Swords Sect stared at Chen Ju and asked.

Wan Ren, standing aside, said nothing.

Though angry, he also knew that at this moment, the most angry person should be his own father.

For Chen Ju, he even dared to oppose Baiyun Guan.

Jiéguǒ, Chen Ju had deceived him for years and put a green hat on him.

Any normal man would probably not be able to endure it.

Xiǎng dào zhèlǐ, Wan Ren quietly sent out a communication jade talisman.

He invited his mother back to witness the joke.

His father favored a concubine and eliminated his wife; his mother was angry with him. After secluding himself for so many years, he was actually seeking peace, unseen and untroubled.

He rarely appears, except when he comes out occasionally to see himself.

Now, Chen Ju finally spun a cocoon to bind herself, playing herself to death.

Chen Ju suddenly burst into laughter, fixed her gaze on Wan Jian Cang, and said, "Indeed, he is not my brother. He is the man I love, but the sect disapproves of him and refuses our marriage. I had no choice but to pick you, a fool, marry you as a concubine, then deceive you that he was my brother and keep him by my side."

At this point, Chen Ju sarcastically said, "Do you know why, when you and I returned to the Hehuan Sect, everyone wore strange smiles? Because everyone in the Hehuan Sect knows about this, except you alone; they all treat you as a fool."

Wan Jian Cang's face turned black.

He had been treated as a fool all those years.

Moreover, each time he went to the Hehuan Sect, those people probably cursed him inwardly as a dimwit, right?

"He is a fool and a dummy."

A Lěng hēng echoed.

Then a graceful woman approached, dressed in splendid attire, with outstanding temperament, exuding extreme elegance.

Compared with Chen Ju, she was undoubtedly a far higher tier.

"Mother."

Wan Ren shouted.

"Ah Ren, is your illness cured?"

Liu Shuyun said excitedly.

Wan Ren nodded fiercely.

"It was Senior Qin who discerned my condition, intervened to resolve the problem on my son's body, and also uncovered the illicit affair between these two."

Wan Ren explained.

"Thank you, Daoist Qin, but you actually shouldn't have spoken of these two's illicit affair."

Liu Shuyun said with a smile.

Qin Yang seemed puzzled and asked, "Wèishénme?"

Liu Shuyun chuckled lightly, sarcastically saying, "After all, the Sect Leader Wan has worn a green hat for two hundred years, been a green‑haired turtle for two hundred years; a sudden change would be hard to adapt to."

Qin Yang almost burst out laughing.

Wan Ren's mother's sarcasm was quite a skill.

He suppressed a smile and said, "You're right; I'll be careful next time."

Wan Jian Cang's face turned black again.

Another next time?

This time he already has a psychological shadow.

Next time, his desire to die will probably have emerged.

No, there will absolutely be no next time.

Xiǎng dào zhèlǐ, Wan Jian Cang let out a Lěng hēng and said to Chen Ju, "You betrayed me; I cannot keep you any longer. You both should die together."

"Sir, please wait a moment."

Chen Ju suddenly said.

Wan Jian Cang had intended to act, but upon hearing Chen Ju's words, he instantly halted his movement.

"Do you have any last words?"

Wan Jian Cang asked.

"I deserve to die, but the child is innocent; I beg you, sir, to spare my child a chance at life, let me give birth to the child, and then kill me."

Chen Ju said.

Wan Jian Cang thought he had misheard, and he asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"

"Lord, please release my child, considering the years of marital bond between us."

Chen Ju stared at Wan Jian Cang with pleading eyes, her face full of despair, which softened Wan Jian Cang a little.

At that moment, a hushed voice sounded.

"Cutting the grass without uprooting the roots, the spring wind blows and it grows again."

It was Qin Yang speaking.

Wan Ren and Liu Shuyun both gave Qin Yang a grateful glance.

They knew clearly that Wan Jian Cang was about to soften his heart again.

He always softens when he faces this woman, always like that.

Originally, Wan Jian Cang had already softened.

But upon hearing Qin Yang's words, he was instantly startled.

Wan Jian Cang's gaze sharpened, and he said coldly, "Impossible."

Chen Ju was utterly desperate.

Then she glared at Qin Yang and said coldly, "Even if I go to hell, I won't let you go free."

Qin Yang smiled.

He had already said "cut the grass and uproot the roots," yet this woman still wants to go to hell.

"Then I'll make it so you can't even descend into hell."

Liu Shuyun said sternly.

Daring to harm her son, how could she possibly let this woman live? The wretched fetus in the other's womb must not live either.

Wan Jian Cang was confused; she was not confused at all.

Wan Jian Cang shivered all over; he also realized.

"You can go peacefully then."

Wan Jian Cang said.

Chen Ju glared at Wan Jian Cang, her voice icy: "Do you truly bear no lingering affection at all?"

"That's your own choice."

Wan Jian Cang sighed.

"Heh heh."

Chen Ju gave a wretched smile.

"Brother‑in‑law, you released me, I know I was wrong; it wasn't me who wanted to put a green hat on you, that woman forced me. How could I dare to put a green hat on you?"

Chen Lei said with a face full of panic.

He still didn't want to die.

At that moment, Chen Ju acted directly, piercing Chen Lei's Sea of Perception and shattering his primordial spirit.

Chen Lei died.

Chen Ju burst into a wild laugh.

"Damned, you all deserve death; none of you will meet a good end."

She seemed completely mad.

Wan Jian Cang sighed, sighed again, then acted and killed her.

Chen Ju's corpse lay on the ground, her primordial spirit having been strangled.

A flash of sorrow passed through Wan Jian Cang's eyes, then he closed them.

"Men, bury them."

Wan Jian Cang said.

A disciple entered, saw the two bodies on the ground, and his eyes lit up instantly.

These two pests finally died; Master, you've awakened.

"Fool."

Liu Shuyun pursed her lips and said to Qin Yang, "Thank you, fellow Daoist, for saving my son and avenging him; please come to my Dumei Pavilion for a talk."

At Dumei Pavilion, Qin Yang's expression turned strange; this elder sister still follows the tide.

She wants to be beautiful alone, not Wan Jian Cang.

"A Ren, come along as well."

Liu Shuyun said.

"Yes, mother."

Wan Jian Cang was about to speak, also intending to go in.

At that moment, Liu Shuyun said, "Wan Jian Cang and the dog may not enter Dumei Pavilion."

Wan Jian Cang's face turned black.

"The poor dog."

Qin Yang sighed.

Wan Jian Cang almost spat out a mouthful of old blood; Qin Yang knew how to pierce the heart.
