Chapter 22 - Transmigrated as a Fake Daughter in Cultivation Novel
Chapter 22 On the sidelines, Xu Wenyuan was overjoyed, looking up at Song Yueting and saying, "How about that? You look down on others with your short-sightedness. Does it hurt your face?" Song Yueting glared fiercely at Xu Wenyuan, saying, "When a little person succeeds, men like you only care about appearances. I can't be bothered with you. Let's go." With that, Song Yueting and her companions swiftly departed, leaving Xu Wenyuan seething with anger. "Goodness, what's with her attitude?" Liang Qin patted Xu Wenyuan and advised, "Don't stoop to her level. She's just unable to accept others being better than her." "Fine." On the other side, Song Ruhai and the three elders returned to their respective residences. Upon returning, Song Ruhai immediately used a voice transmission talisman to call Song Chaoyun. Before Song Chaoyun could even settle, Song Ruhai spoke, "Chaoyun, it's true that Song Zhixia has truly cultivated the fire-based single spiritual root and even established a foundation in such a short time. I think she might be useful to us. We have good relations with the Zhao family among the four major families in Linhai City. Should we further ally with the Tian family, it would make the Qin family our enemy, and Qin Xian's days would be numbered." Furrowing his brows, Song Chaoyun questioned, "But what does this have to do with Song Zhixia?" "You are unaware that Tian Yuelan, the head of the Tian family, dotes on her son and daughter. It's been said that her son, Tian Junjie, is quite flirtatious. So why don't we arrange for Song Zhixia to be betrothed to Tian Junjie? Despite Song Zhixia's damaged primordial spirit, her cultivation aptitude and appearance are both superior. I refuse to believe that Tian Junjie wouldn't be swayed." Song Ruhai said with a smile, as if he could easily win over the Tian family. "However, Father, it may be difficult for Song Zhixia to heed our words now. After all, we haven't taken care of her since she returned to the Song family." "What's so difficult about it? Women are naturally sensitive. I'll have your mother personally go and bring her here. After a few days of companionship, she will naturally fall in line. Besides, she's always with Song Weizhi every day, hindering you from getting close to her." Song Ruhai glanced at Song Chaoyun, and the two exchanged smiles. At noon, the tranquil courtyard of Song Weizhi suddenly became chaotic as He Qingmei, who had not been seen for a long time, arrived. However, before the sect master's wife could step into Song Weizhi's courtyard, she was intercepted by Wei Zhao, who had appeared out of nowhere. He Qingmei looked at Wei Zhao and demanded, "Who are you? How can you be in Weizhi's courtyard?" Wei Zhao coldly glanced at He Qingmei and said, "That's none of your concern. This is my master's courtyard. Outsiders are not allowed in." He Qingmei's veins bulged. After so many years in the Song family, she had never experienced such treatment. She immediately struck out at Wei Zhao, but Wei Zhao calmly accepted it, "Your cultivation might be impressive, but it's far from matching my master's." Wei Zhao's words infuriated He Qingmei, but she realized that with her own cultivation, she couldn't gain the upper hand against this young woman. This was something she couldn't believe. Realizing that she might not be able to win through force, He Qingmei suppressed her anger and said, "I am Weizhi's stepmother and the biological mother of Song Zhixia. If you don't believe me, you can ask them." In fact, Song Weizhi had already heard the commotion outside. He Qingmei's arrival at this time was rather inexplicable, especially after Song Zhixia's extraordinary display of talent. It was obvious what her intentions were written all over her face. However, from a blood lineage standpoint, He Qingmei was indeed Song Zhixia's mother. Song Weizhi was afraid that her little bunny might fall into the wrong hands. Soon, there was a knock on the door. Avoiding confrontation was not her style, and she couldn't help but retaliate against He Qingmei's attempts to disgust her. As Song Zhixia's stepmother, she really knew how to speak misleadingly, making Song Weizhi's whole body shiver. She was worried if her little bunny could withstand it. When Song Weizhi went out, Song Zhixia had already arrived at the courtyard gate. Seeing that Song Zhixia had come out, He Qingmei immediately tried to grab her hand with a joyful smile, but Song Zhixia stepped back. A crack appeared on He Qingmei's originally delighted face, but she quickly adjusted and said to Song Zhixia, "Zhixia, you have been home for quite some time. It's time to come back and live with us. Your father wanted to toughen you up by keeping you outside. Otherwise, how could you have the drive to catch up with others? Now, you have already proven your strength. Look, Mother has come to take you home." Listening to this, Song Weizhi felt like laughing. He Qingmei was a real schemer; using such flowery words. It made Song Weizhi's whole body shiver. She was worried if her little bunny would be able to withstand this? Just as Song Weizhi was anxiously thinking about Song Zhixia, the person in question spoke up, "Madam, there is no need. I am living well here and I do not want to move." He Qingmei's face cracked again, and she said urgently, "Are you still blaming your mother and father? We truly didn't mean to mix up the two of you back then. You have no idea how much your mother blames herself. Your mother doesn't ask for your forgiveness, just for you to come home and let us take care of you." "Madam, you are overthinking. I don't have the time to bear grudges against irrelevant people. Please, just leave." Song Zhixia said coldly, like a sacred and untouchable flower on the summit of a snow-capped mountain. Watching Song Zhixia, Song Weizhi almost applauded her. She shouldn't have given pleasant treatment to such an old schemer! "Zhixia, we really do want to compensate you. Would you like your mother to pour her heart out to you?" He Qingmei vividly acted out the scene. Even Song Weizhi wanted to applaud He Qingmei's performance. It was not easy! However, the next moment, Song Zhixia said, "Alright, I'll see just how dark your hearts are. First, you abandoned me in the past, then on that day, you refused to acknowledge me. At the martial arts arena, if it weren't for my senior sister, I'm afraid I wouldn't be standing here to talk to you. Not to mention, when I competed with Zhao Gui, none of you believed that I relied on my own ability. Instead, you insisted I practiced forbidden techniques. Each of these incidents speaks volumes. I may not know the purpose of your visit, but based on these incidents, if Madam has thought of me, it's certainly not for a good reason." He Qingmei's face turned red and white in turns, and she shouted, "Alright, Song Zhixia, you're asking for trouble!" As she spoke, she struck out at Song Zhixia, but Song Weizhi promptly struck back. He Qingmei was forced to retreat more than ten steps, blood spilling from her mouth. Veins popped on her forehead. "Song Weizhi, how dare you lay your hands on me! I'll make you regret it sooner or later." "Regret? There's no need. I'm already regretting it enough." With that, she winked at Song Zhixia. Song Zhixia didn't know what that meant and blinked innocently at Song Weizhi. She wondered if her senior sister had gotten something in her eye. She wasn't sure if it was something serious, but after this annoying person left, she would help her senior sister look, because having something in her eye was quite uncomfortable. "Alright, Song Weizhi, you just wait and see. And you, Song Zhixia, one who refuses respect must face punishment. Let's go." He Qingmei led her retinue away from Song Weizhi's courtyard in a huff. "Master, that old woman dared to insult you. Shouldn't I teach her a lesson?" Wei Zhao was enraged. She was there to protect her master, yet that woman had insulted not only her master but also her master's future partner. She really couldn't stand it. Sighing, Song Weizhi looked at Wei Zhao and said, "Let's forget about it. We'll have to stay here for a while." Besides, He Qingmei was indeed Song Zhixia's mother by blood. However, Song Weizhi chose not to voice the second part of her thoughts. Once she calmed down Wei Zhao, Song Zhixia approached her. "Sister, I noticed you were blinking just now. Did something get into your eye? Do you want me to help you?" Song Zhixia sincerely asked with concern. Seeing Song Zhixia's earnestness, Song Weizhi took a look at her and then returned to her room. Hadn't she winked just now? Her little bunny actually thought something got into her eye. Well, she was quite straightforward. Song Zhixia touched the back of her head in confusion. Had she said something wrong? Why didn't her senior sister respond and just left? He Qingmei returned to her residence with Song Ruhai, angrily narrating the events to him. Song Ruhai was so furious that he smashed the table in the front hall. "Song Weizhi, I want to see if she can pass my son Chaoyun's test. Once she becomes the daughter-in-law of our Song family, she will have to endure!" Song Ruhai was so angry that he almost ground his teeth to dust. "What about Song Zhixia? How do we convince her to willingly marry Tian Junjie?" After taking a few calming pills, He Qingmei's anger subsided. She never expected that Song Weizhi would lay hands on her. "She won't have a choice. During our time in the secret realm, we'll find ways for Tian Junjie to take advantage. Once her innocence is lost, she won't have any choice. By the way, I have already sent the marriage proposal to the Tian family. We should receive a response soon." Sure enough, in the afternoon, Song Ruhai received a response from the Tian family. The message stated that Tian Junjie wanted to meet Song Zhixia first before further discussion. Song Ruhai immediately agreed and sent his men to invite the Tian family to witness the remaining matches of Song Zhixia. Accompanying Tian Junjie was not only the head of the Tian family, Tian Yuelan, but also her daughter, Tian Yanyan, who all came to the Song residence. Song Ruhai personally went to greet them with great enthusiasm. "We have long looked forward to Master Tian's visit. Please come in. Ah, this must be the talented nephew Junjie. He truly embodies the image of an outstanding individual. Miss Tian, you truly exemplify the grace of a noblewoman. Please come in." Song Ruhai exclaimed joyfully. Tian Yuelan, seeing the respect given by the Song family, also smiled and returned the courtesy, "We appreciate your hospitality. Junjie is exceptional in every aspect, although he may be a bit selective. But since he is the daughter of the Song Master, she must be an extraordinary individual. Let the young people size each other up." Author's note: Song Zhixia: Why is Sister ignoring me? Song Weizhi: Don't ask. The answer is eye infection!
