"They are the evil cult that creates monsters."
"And that little demoness actually knows them!"
"Xuan'er, don't talk nonsense in front of your father and slander your sister's reputation!" Mu Qingya was truly anxious, signaling Granny Qiu to bring people over and shut Mu Rou Xuan's mouth.
"Let her continue speaking!" Mu Jingfeng roared, stopping Mu Qingya's action.
"There's nothing that can't be spoken of! If she did it, is she afraid of it being talked about?"
"Master!" Mu Qingya quickly supported herself and stood up from the couch, panting. "How could Qiao Qiao be such a person?"
"And how could she be involved with some evil cult?"
"The Saintess was absolutely right! She is the source of disaster! She definitely has ties with those evil cult members!" Mu Rou Xuan sharply interrupted her mother. "Otherwise, why would the Ghost-Faced Hall Master of that evil cult, in Red River Canyon, not look for anyone else but specifically ask to speak with her? If you say they are strangers, I don't believe it for a second!!"
"Shut up!" Mu Qingya's face was flushed with anger. She raised her hand, poised to slap Mu Rou Xuan. "What nonsense are you spreading in front of your father? How did I raise such a daughter who can't distinguish right from wrong!"
"Don't you even think! With Qiao Qiao's status, does she need to be involved with some evil cult organization?" Mu Qingya's expression was one of anger and disappointment. "Can't you use your brain and think properly?"
How could she have raised such a foolish daughter, who was nothing like herself?
Mu Qingya felt her heart weary, looking at her daughter with a face full of disappointment.
"She knows that organization is called Heavenly Fate!" Mu Rou Xuan said loudly, sticking out her neck.
"What's so strange about that?" Mu Qingya stood up, scolding angrily. "Nowadays, among the major noble families, who doesn't know the name Heavenly Fate?"
"Even I, who don't cultivate, have heard people say that this evil cult, Heavenly Fate, seeks to bring chaos to the world. As the Crown Princess, holding such a high position, how could she not know this?"
Mu Jingfeng's eyes flickered, but he still said coldly, "Xuan'er, besides knowing that Hall Master of Heavenly Fate, did she do anything else out of line during the trip?"
"Oh, and did you gain anything from your trip to the secret realm?" Mu Jingfeng's gaze flickered again, feeling a hint of longing for the Sun and Moon Secret Realm.
It was said that spiritual artifacts and elixirs were abundant there, spread all over the ground. He wondered if it was true.
If Rou Xuan had brought anything back, he could have her offer a portion to him as her father.
Mu Rou Xuan's expression became exceedingly ugly and strange. "I got nothing! Nothing at all! The secret realm has collapsed now!"
"How is that possible?" Mu Jingfeng's face instantly darkened.
He stared at his daughter with a scrutinizing gaze, thinking she was being stingy and unwilling to hand over the treasures she had obtained.
She must be trying to hide them, which was why she made up such a preposterous lie.
Mu Jingfeng looked at her coldly. He used to think this daughter was good, much better than Qiao Mu, that infuriating, rebellious daughter. But now, it seemed she wasn't so great either.
Mu Qingya's heart skipped a beat. She quickly stood up and gently advised Mu Rou Xuan, "Xuan'er, if you got many things in the secret realm, just let your father examine them. Some treasures might not even be suitable for female cultivators like yourselves."
