Of course Liu Ruyun would not agree. This was the child she had raised with great difficulty. He had her surname Liu and belonged to the Liu family.

What qualifications does Wen Ke have to snatch Xiao Nian away from her?

Besides, Xiao Nian is so sick now. If this person doesn’t treat the child properly, where does he want to take Xiao Nian?

Under Liu Ruyun's questioning, Wen Ke had to tell her the truth.

It turned out that the monk who came to visit had the ability to take away other people's spiritual roots and plant them in other people.

Xiao Nian happened to have spiritual roots. As long as they peeled off the spiritual roots from her completely and planted them in Xiao Feng, their son could become a cultivator!

Xiao Nian has a very good spiritual root. If he practices well, he may be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage or the Divine Transformation stage in the future.

As long as their children can become powerful monks, the Wen family’s life in Cangzhen Castle will be better.

As for why he didn't let the cultivator plant the spiritual roots in himself, Wen Ke thought clearly that he was old and his bones had already grown well.

If he were to practice, it would probably be a waste of this excellent spiritual root.

If Wen Feng wasn't his only child, Wen Ke would have chosen another younger descendant to have this opportunity.

However, although his plan was very good, he did not expect that Liu Ruyun would not agree at all.

Not only that, after learning that Wen Ke insisted on sacrificing Xiao Nian, she found the Chen family, who had a long-standing friendship with the Liu family, and used up her last bit of favor to ask the Chen family to help her and Wen Ke divorce.

After that, she took Xiao Nian and moved out of the Wen family, announcing publicly that Liu Nian was the child of the Liu family and had nothing to do with the Wen family. Over the years, Xiao Nian's food and shelter were also provided by her dowry. The Wen family had not shown any favor to Xiao Nian, and Xiao Nian did not need to repay the favor.

Liu Ruyun lost most of her dowry for this, and she was locked up in the backyard for many years and had no idea how to run a business.

In addition, Xiao Nian's strange illness required constant treatment, and the medicine prescribed by the clinic was very expensive. Before long, the mother and daughter had no choice but to move to this dilapidated house in Fu Ping Lane.

After listening to Liu Ruyun's story, Xie Liuyin narrowed his eyes slightly.

This was not right. Not to mention how the spiritual root was completely pulled out and planted in someone else's body, the appearance of this cultivator was too coincidental.

It just so happened that when he appeared, Xiao Nian had health problems, and it just so happened that he had the ability to plant spiritual roots in people, which attracted Wen Ke's attention.

If Xie Liuyin had not arrived in time today, Xiao Nian would have definitely fallen into the hands of that cultivator. He brought the child into the inner room, and who knows whether he really came to take the spiritual roots or to do something else.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so Xie Liuyin simply pulled out the male cultivator who had been locked in the space artifact.

But before that, she carefully covered the entire house with a barrier to prevent the boy from running away as soon as he woke up.

Then, Xie Liuyin waved his hand, and the male cultivator appeared out of thin air.

After seeing the appearance of the person who suddenly appeared, Liu Ruyun's face changed and she quickly reached out to hug Xiao Nian, fearing that this person would snatch the child away again.

"Miss Liu, don't be afraid. I brought him out to find out what this man is planning to do to Xiaonian." Seeing Liu Ruyun's nervous face, Xie Liuyin explained.

A spell was thrown over, and the male cultivator woke up all of a sudden, his eyes immediately changing from confusion to alertness.

A cold light flashed in his hand, and more than a dozen daggers shot towards Xie Liuyin's face from all directions.

If Xie Liuyin had not been on guard, he would have been stabbed by these hidden weapons.

The gold element's spiritual power suddenly activated, knocking down the dozen or so daggers one after another. The male cultivator, despite failing to land a single blow, didn't hesitate to fight and immediately rushed out of the house, intent on escaping.

However, the next second, he was violently bounced back by the barrier.

Xie Liuyin's Golden Hunting Lock also appeared at the right time and tied up the male cultivator from head to toe to ensure that he could not cause any more trouble.

After tying him up, Xie Liuyin waved his hand, and the male cultivator was hung up. Only his mouth remained exposed, allowing him to communicate with Xie Liuyin and the others.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want to do to Xiao Nian?" Xie Liuyin looked at him sharply and asked in a cold voice, "If you don't tell me, don't even think about leaving today."

After she finished speaking, she clenched her five fingers into a fist. The bound male cultivator immediately noticed that the ropes that bound him were tightening continuously, as if to squeeze out his internal organs.

Fortunately, the pain only lasted for a moment, and Xie Liuyin let him go: "Tell me, otherwise it won't be so easy next time."

In just a short sentence, the male cultivator heard a hint of murderous intent.

He knew very well that if he continued to stubbornly resist and not speak, the female cultivator in front of him would really take his life!

The male cultivator was not a good person to begin with, and when his life was threatened, he quickly told the truth.

Indeed, he was not a medical practitioner at all, and he had long since set his sights on Xiao Nian. He had gone to the Wen family as a guest just for Xiao Nian.

"This child has an immortal bone growing in his body!" The male cultivator's eyes flashed, and finally he gritted his teeth and told the truth.

"Immortal bones? What is that?" Liu Ruyun asked curiously.

She is a mortal and doesn't know much about things related to cultivation.

But Xie Liuyin's expression changed instantly after hearing these three words.

Immortal bones are also known as immortal lives. Legend has it that people with this kind of bones, no matter what their qualifications are, will definitely ascend to become immortals in the future.

But this is just a legend. At least before today, Xie Liuyin had never seen any immortal.

After a pause, Xie Liuyin finally explained the matter of the Immortal Bone to Liu Ruyun. After she finished listening, her eyes instantly became sharp, and she looked at the male cultivator with full momentum:

"How did you know my child has immortal bones? You don't even know how to grow spiritual roots. You just want to take Xiao Nian's immortal bones, right?!"

The male cultivator nodded weakly. "My master gave me a compass and told me to follow the instructions to find the immortal bone. If I find the immortal bone, I must take it away immediately."

"After I came to the Wen family, I was worried that your family wouldn't be willing to let me take the child away, so I made up a lie to deceive you."

Liu Ruyun asked anxiously: "Now that the truth has been exposed, you should quickly cure Xiao Nian's illness!"

"I'm sorry, I can't help you with that." Facing Liu Ruyun's surprised expression, the male cultivator continued, "I just wanted to confirm whether the immortal bone was in her body and awakened it in advance. As for why she became like this, I don't know."

At this point, a calculating look flashed in the male cultivator's eyes, and he half-coaxed, half-deceived Xie Liuyin and said, "Senior, since you know about the Immortal Bone, you should also know how powerful this treasure is. How about you let me go, and I will help you extract the Immortal Bone?"

That is the bone of an immortal. If you get it, you can become an immortal.

Even his master, who was above everyone else, could not resist such temptation, let alone the female cultivator in front of him.

But what he never expected was that the person in front of him refused without even thinking!
