The Darling of Heaven Owns a Rip-off Shop-Chapter 489 - 5: Chief Disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect
"The Chengtian Sect will come to Taocheng for recruitment this time, and I’ve already made arrangements. Moreover, the person coming to recruit is replacing his master and will only select one disciple. His master is the Great Elder of the Chengtian Sect!" Tao Yingying spoke excitedly to Luo Yunfei while walking, "If you become a disciple of the Chengtian Sect’s Great Elder, your father will surely look at you differently. That’s the Chengtian Sect!"
Luo Yunfei stopped in his tracks, looked at Tao Yingying in surprise, "Mother, are you sure about this news? The Chengtian Sect is actually coming to our Taocheng for recruitment?"
In today’s Cultivation World, there are four major sects: the Chengtian Sect, the Daoyan Sect, the Shanghe Sect, and the Wuji Sect. These four sects are the most powerful in the Cultivation World, each standing firm in their respective areas, dominating one side. Only these four sects can be called Top Grade sects, while there are many Middle Grade sects, and the Lower Grade sects are countless, like cattle.
Tao Yingying’s family is a Middle Grade sect. Her father is the Sect Master of Yueban Sect. Her mother is the sister of Taocheng City Lord, thus making her Luo Zhuifeng’s sister, Luo Tingyu. She considers herself of distinguished status, yet ultimately became a concubine of Luo Anling. So she harbors resentment and targets Luo Yunyi and Luo Yunyi’s mother frequently. After all, Yu Xinlan is just an ordinary Loose Cultivator, whom Luo Anling met during his travels. Such a woman with no family background ended up as the main wife, filling Tao Yingying’s heart with hatred and unwillingness.
"No mistake, and my son will definitely be selected this time. By then, let’s see what face that bitch and her brat have to stay in the Luo Family." Tao Yingying said with a cold smile.
Luo Yunfei glanced at Tao Yingying with some confusion. Even if he became a disciple of the Great Elder of Chengtian Sect, how does it relate to whether his elder brother and others stay in the Luo Family?
"Mother, I know you feel aggrieved, but elder brother is still part of our Luo Family. Grandfather often teaches us, no matter how much conflict there is, we are still family. When faced with challenges, we should unite against outsiders first; only after resolving the issues can we shut the doors and fight to our hearts’ content. Why do you always want to drive them away?" Luo Yunfei voiced his doubts.
"I just think that such a waste is completely a drain on resources. All the resources of the Luo Family should rightfully go to my son." Tao Yingying said confidently.
Luo Yunfei fell silent for a moment and said nothing more.
Sometimes he feels his mother is very obsessive, but doesn’t know where to begin to persuade her.
...
In the evening, City Lord summoned Luo Anling to his study for a talk.
"Chengtian Sect coming for recruitment? Oh? So what?" Luo Anling asked indifferently, looking at the person before him.
"If Yunfei could be chosen, it would indeed be a good thing." The City Lord said.
"Why should I care. Anything else? If not, I’m leaving." Luo Anling said and turned to leave.
"Stop!" The City Lord shouted sternly.
Luo Anling ignored him and moved to open the door to leave.
"Anling, I know you resent me. But back then, I had no choice." The City Lord softened his voice, speaking gravely.
Luo Anling stopped, turned around, and looked at the City Lord, smirked coldly, "I don’t resent you. I resent myself! I’m the fool! I’m the one utterly filial to stupidity! Tell Tao Yingying to behave. If pushed to the brink, I’m capable of anything."
After saying this, Luo Anling slammed the door and left.
The City Lord stared at the closed door, recalling Luo Anling’s cold smile, he slowly sat down, suddenly questioning if the decision back then was truly wrong?
