Chapter 2276: Mission 7

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

If everything proceeded according to plan, she believed she could accomplish her mission soon. She eagerly anticipated wrapping it up quickly and getting out of this troublesome situation.

Gu Chaoyan’s spirits lifted at the prospect.

They reached the main hall.

Before Gu Chaoyan could face any reprimand, she overheard Lady You’s sobbing pleas in the main hall. Lady You knelt before the head of the Shen Family, her voice trembling as she implored, “Old Master, please release Lianxue. She is a good-hearted girl, and the engagement has already been canceled.”

“Considering all the gifts I’ve bestowed upon the Shen family, please don’t hold it against Lian Xue,” Lady You continued.

While the head of the Shen family had been tolerating the situation thus far, Lady You’s words seemed to push him over the edge. He responded by violently kicking Lady You. Since Lady You had no cultivation skills, she was sent flying a meter away before hitting the ground.

The head of the Shen family harbored an intense aversion to discussing this particular matter. It was seemingly an unbearable issue in his life.

However, Lady You’s contributions had indeed been invaluable. Without her contributions in the past, the Shen family might not have achieved its current status.

But the head of the Shen family was unwilling to admit that the family’s prosperity owed itself to Lady You’s contributions.

As Gu Chaoyan entered the scene, she witnessed Lady You being thrown aside.

This sight infuriated Gu Chaoyan, prompting her to help Lady You to her feet.

She furrowed her brow and addressed the head of the Shen family, “What’s the need to react like this to my mother’s words? Is it necessary to treat her so harshly?”

“If it weren’t for the spatial ring my mother gifted me back then, would the Shen family have attained its current standing by presenting it as a token of respect to the emperor?”

“Without the Spirit Stones and golden sabers in my mother’s spatial ring, would you have even reached the Martial Master realm? Would you possess that weapon in your hand right now?”

“Comparatively, my mother has bestowed numerous favors upon the Shen family. You’ve displayed no gratitude whatsoever and resorted to kicking my mother.”

Shen Lianxue recounted the truth of what had transpired over the years.

The more the head of the Shen family heard, the paler his face grew.

He raised his hand as if to slap Gu Chaoyan, but she skillfully evaded the blow.

“You ungrateful daughter. Besides bringing trouble to the Shen family, what else are you good for? Look at the disgrace you’ve brought upon our family, just like your mother, always tarnishing the family’s reputation.”

“What were you doing at the Qian Family?” Shen Chengwang’s face reddened with fury as he clenched his teeth to speak.

“What else could I do? I was engaged to Qian Ziang, and he borrowed some of my magical weapons for cultivation. Now that the engagement has been called off, it’s only right for me to reclaim my belongings. So, I went to request their return. But the Qian Family, being a prominent clan, not only refused to return the borrowed items but also denied ever borrowing them in the first place. This is the situation. They borrowed the items, and I’m merely taking them back. There’s nothing wrong with that,” Gu Chaoyan asserted with righteousness.

Shen Chengwang had initially intended to scold Shen Lianxue, but her argument seemed too reasonable. For a moment, he found himself at a loss for words.

While Shen Lianxue claimed to have lent the items, her demand for their return did indeed seem justifiable.

However, Shen Chengwang couldn’t shake the feeling that something was amiss.

“In any case, you should not have confronted the Qian Family,” Shen Chengwang finally said after holding back his frustration.

“I didn’t create a scene. I went to retrieve the items and left peacefully. It was the Qian Family that provoked me. They borrowed the items and refused to return them; that’s unreasonable. You can’t let the Shen family be bullied like this!” Gu Chaoyan retorted..
