"There’s one thing I don’t understand, those skilled in Gu removal include Granny Long and Long Xiangkui, and if worse comes to worst, there’s Bai Zanhe, as well as the maternal granduncle from Tianying Village." I’ve never understood this point from the start, so I asked my mom, "Can Su Chongwen’s Gu Art really control the entire Mystic Sect?"

"I really don’t know about this; neither your Uncle Che nor I understand Gu Art. Therefore, we called Shuying back to join us and take a look, he might be of use." My mom frowned and said in deep thought.

I sighed and said, "Oh, the ancestor doesn’t favor Zhang Shuying and insists on having him locked up."

Perhaps Zhang Shuying is in conflict with Tai Sui this year. What we seem to have barged into just now is a meeting led by the Zhang Family’s Elder discussing how to deal with Gu Poison.

Unexpectedly, the ancestor Zhang Zidao returned from isolation with me, and Zhang Shuying probably hasn’t yet had the chance to show his worth, but due to the ancestor’s prejudice, he’s been locked up.

"What..." My mom was incredibly shocked and then became worried, "What to do, the truth when Shuying killed his father years ago was not straightforward..."

I don’t know what hidden truths are involved, but I’ve already decided to find an opportunity to see Zhang Shuying, and try to rescue him, "Mom, don’t worry about him, I’ll try to sneak into the prison later to see Zhang Shuying."

Just then, the door was suddenly knocked.

A woman in her forties, expressionless, entered; her gaze towards me was filled with cold disdain. She wore a gray Taoist robe, "Miss Lin, Elder Jia and Elder Sheng want to see you, please come with me."

Miss Lin?

Is she calling my mom?

But she clearly married Zhang Che, they even registered.

Yet still calling her Miss Lin.

Doesn’t seem quite right?

"Do they have some matter?" My mom asked uncertainly.

The Taoist-robed woman laughed insincerely, "Of course, it’s about discussing good matters, you are the woman kept outside by Master Che, and your daughter is deeply liked by the ancestor."

Her words were sarcastic, giving an uncomfortable feeling all over.

As children, how can we watch our beloved ones be humiliated?

"Slap." I stood up and gave the Taoist-robed woman a slap.

My mom was shocked to see my action, "Wanwan!"

In the past year, my character has changed drastically.

I haven’t stayed by her side for long.

My mom probably never imagined that I could become so fierce one day.

The Taoist-robed woman’s cheek swelled up high, her expression turned fearful, "You... even if you are the ancestor’s direct disciple, you can’t... you can’t treat me like this! I am your elder, I’m... Master Che’s cousin."

"Sorry, my hand was heavy. If I knew you were my aunt, I’d be gentler." I smiled and my eyes contained a golden Sharp Gold Aura, "Aunt, my mom married Zhang Che, Zhang Che was raised in the Lin Family since young, the people of the Lin family may call him a pretty face kept by my mom, but my mom is not the woman he keeps outside."

"But... but there was no parental approval or intermediary... nor a wedding ceremony... I was wrong, I was wrong, I’ll stop talking." The Taoist nun wanted to continue speaking when I stuck a Binding Talisman on her forehead.

Her entire body was immobile, I raised my hand intending to strike again.

She could only beg for mercy, otherwise she would sport a swollen pig head face for at least a month.

My mom pulled me back, "We are under this so-called roof, after all this isn’t the Lin Family, Wanwan, you, be more restrained."

"In the Lin Family, I can’t act like this, everyone in the Lin Family treats me so well." I smiled at my mom, giving her a reassuring look, "In the future, I might manage the power at the Celestial Master Sect. If my methods are too appeasing, how can I win hearts and minds?"

"That might be true, but it’s also not good to offend people too much." My mom was half convinced by me, while also worried, "Oh, you with a different surname, what’s the ancestor thinking, having you come..." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The woman in the Taoist robe shrunk her head as the Binding Talisman’s effect wore off.

She hurriedly took the talisman off, turning to flee.

I called out to her, "You said Elder Sheng and Elder Jia want to see my mom, you haven’t invited her yet, why are you already leaving?"
