I was forced to leave the world of immortal cultivation after being transformed into a loser.

"I don't know where the child has been hidden for so many years."

"You know Xuantian Sect, right?" the man asked mysteriously.

"I heard it's a newly rising sect. It's also full of talented people, even a few powerful ones."

"Ah, you don't mean to say that the illegitimate daughter is in Xuantian Sect, right?"

"That's what I mean."

"I heard she's also a very talented female cultivator, and she's incredibly beautiful, even more so than Dongfeng Xiyue."

……

Dongfeng Linyuan paid close attention to the affairs of the Dongfeng family and found that the head of the family had no intention of taking back the affairs from his younger sister, nor did he deal with the rumors.

He did not achieve his desired goal. Yes, he was the one who spread the rumor. He wanted the position of young master of the family and was willing to slander his younger sister's reputation.

Perhaps in the competition for the position of young master of the family, he did not regard Dongfeng Xiyue as a younger sister, but only regarded her as a competitor or even an enemy.

Recently, Dongfeng Xiyue went out on business and heard some sarcastic remarks wherever she went. Some people even asked her fearlessly how to make friends with her.

Of course, people like this were dealt with right away.

None of these things could affect her. After all, the Dongfeng family had such a high status that others could only talk about it in private.

After hearing the subsequent development of the rumor, Dongfeng Xiyue could no longer sit still. The matter had already affected Gu Liyue.

She still couldn't be sure of the other party's purpose in doing this. Was he just trying to slander her and take away her position as the young head of the family, or was he trying to damage the reputation of the Dongfeng family?

The only ones who had opinions about the position of young master of the family were her three brothers. In her eyes, her brothers would not be stupid enough to sacrifice the family's reputation for this position!

At this moment, she was called to the master's study again.

The Dongfeng Patriarch said calmly, "Is that Gu Liyue really your daughter? What exactly did you go through during those years?"

Dongfeng Xiyue looked respectful, but her tone was filled with sarcasm as she asked, "Do you care about what I've been through? Aren't you only concerned about the development of your Dongfeng family? You're only worried about whether my affairs have affected the Dongfeng family!"

Because this matter affected Gu Liyue, Dongfeng Xiyue became a little anxious, and also showed the rebellious side of her character.

"How dare you! Didn't you not answer me when I asked you that time?" The head of the Dongfeng family had not been contradicted like this by the younger generation of the family for many years, and the rebuke came out of his mouth.

Seeing how well she had managed the family affairs in the past two years, he was able to completely let go of the mundane affairs and concentrate on cultivation.

He then explained: "Family is our livelihood. Only when the family is good can we be good. Isn't it right for me to do this?"

He thought of the information about Gu Liyue that he had asked someone to find out. This kind of person is indeed much better than Dongfeng Xiyue back then.

If he could let her work for the Dongfeng family, he wouldn't mind making up a name for her.

Unexpectedly, Dongfeng Xiyue started to mock him right from the start, and he didn't know how to talk to her.

As the head of the family, he had no habit of speaking softly to the younger generation. However, Dongfeng Xiyue was also very stubborn. She thought that the head of the family did not consider the feelings of her and her daughter, and always thought about things from the perspective of the family's interests.

He asked herself not to deal with the rumors. Dongfeng Xiyue originally thought that he would deal with it, but she didn't expect that he would not investigate the people and motives behind the rumors, and let the rumors get more and more intense, and there were follow-ups, which dragged Gu Liyue into it as well.

Now he comes to ask about Gu Liyue, what exactly does he want to do?

Dongfeng Xiyue saw Gu Liyue living freely in Xuantian Sect. She really didn't want her to come to the Dongfeng family, an environment full of intrigue and deception, and even people stabbing arrows in the back.

She saw the intention of the head of the Dongfeng family, and she showed her rebelliousness and would never let him get what he wanted.

"If the Patriarch feels that I am no longer the flawless beauty that the world sees me as, then I will not take the position of Young Patriarch."

The head of the Dongfeng family did not expect Dongfeng Xiyue to be so extreme. Originally, as long as there was a way out and she said a few soft words, he could let the mother and daughter reunite in the Dongfeng family.

However, he didn't know that what he thought was charity was actually something that Dongfeng Xiyue was afraid of.

He said angrily, "Okay, don't worry about family affairs for now. I'll let your eldest brother take over. Think carefully about what happened. Come back and tell me when you have thought it through."

After saying that, he stood up, turned sideways, and flicked his sleeves to express his anger.

He thought that even if Dongfeng Xiyue didn't give in now, she would come to find him soon.

He saw out of the corner of his eye that Dongfeng Xiyue walked out of the study without any reluctance.

He felt confused and felt like he had never understood his daughter.

……

Gu Liyue was concentrating on her cultivation in Xuantian Sect, and she also heard some rumors outside.

She felt that this matter would not have much impact on her. If she had to admit that she was Dongfeng Xiyue's daughter because of the rumors, she would be willing to do so as long as it did not affect her mother too much.

On this day, the disciple who was guarding the sect's mountain gate sent someone to report that two female cultivators were visiting the mountain gate and specifically asked to visit her, so she was asked to go out to confirm and pick them up.

When she arrived at the mountain gate, she saw Leng Jiaojiao and Leng Xiaoxiao. Leng Jiaojiao, who was standing outside the mountain gate, was waving at her.

The Leng family is a big family in Qilin City. Before, Gu Liyue and his friends had stayed at the Leng family for a few days because of Leng Jiaojiao's hospitality, and even used their teleportation array to go to Suzaku City.

Leng Jiaojiao was innocent and straightforward, and she didn't hide her quirks at all. She felt that Leng Jiaojiao was quite comfortable to get along with, and her previous negotiations with the Leng family were introduced by her.

They are friends now.

Gu Liyue said to the disciples guarding the mountain gate, "They are indeed my friends, let them in!"

The two sisters of the Leng family entered the mountain gate through the opened protective barrier and followed Gu Liyue to her cave.

Gu Liyue said, "The sect isn't as convenient as the city, so please don't despise it."

Leng Xiaoxiao's face was calm as she said, "Miss Gu, you're too polite."

Leng Jiaojiao looked at her cave curiously and said, "How could that be? Sister Gu, have you heard the rumors outside? I was also shocked when I heard them the other day. Why is Aunt Xiyue being spread in such a bad light?"

As usual, Leng Xiaoxiao sat there with a cold expression, listening to them talk.

Gu Liyue said, "It's just a rumor, only the wise can stop it. Weren't you also deeply affected by it before?"

Leng Jiaojiao knew that she was talking about the rumors spread about her by her half-sister.

"However, people who don't know Aunt Xiyue's character will believe the rumors."

Leng Jiaojiao had actually heard rumors that Dongfeng Xiyue's illegitimate daughter was Gu Liyue, and since she happened to know someone, she wanted to find out more. She also came to Xuantian Sect to see some handsome men.

But when she was in front of Gu Liyue, she didn't dare to ask her directly, for fear of hurting her friend. She looked at her elder sister, a cold female cultivator, and didn't expect her to help her speak.
