Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Reaches the Pinnacle of Life
Chapter 40: Conquering the Villain - All You Need Is One Her (20)
Jun Beichen remained expressionless throughout; he was naturally cold-hearted, so such an expression was quite normal.
But Jun Nanfeng wouldn't let go of the matter of badmouthing him, "Second brother, why do you look unhappy?"
Is it because your brother married Fengdie that you feel very troubled?
"It's alright, I know you don't like me, but please don't spoil everyone's fun on a day like today."
Jun Nanfeng's tea ceremony was superb, and Qiu Tong was secretly amazed. She thought that if Jun Nanfeng were a woman, the effect would be even more amazing.
Before Jun Beichen could answer, Jun Nanfeng continued, "You haven't been home for a long time. Your father and mother miss you very much. If you're free later, let's go back together."
Is the plan to bring Jun Beichen back to the Jun family and then do whatever they want with him?
The already awkward situation became even more awkward after Jun Nanfeng's few words.
The Demon Sect Master cursed "idiot" inwardly and winked at his wife.
The Demon Sect Master is here today to take revenge on the Murong family. What exactly is Jun Nanfeng up to?
I thought he was smart, but who knew he would make so many mistakes when it came to actually doing things.
How could I have been so blind to take such a worthless piece of trash as my apprentice? He's more trouble than he's worth.
One or two of them are not doing anything productive. Why are they making things difficult for Murong Wuyue and Jun Beichen? What they want to do is to take advantage of Murong Wangtian's inattention and catch him off guard.
The Demon Sect Master was heartbroken, so he asked his wife to step in and smooth things over.
What's even more dramatic is that the First Madam, for some unknown reason, also acted foolishly, and the Demon Sect Master was so angry at her behavior that he almost vomited blood.
The First Madam also disliked Jun Beichen's behavior. Her son's degree was taken away by this outsider, so how could she not hate him?
Even after receiving a hint from the Demon Sect Master, she still went her own way and chose to kick someone when they were down.
"Oh dear, second son-in-law, how come you haven't come home to see your parents even once in all these years? How heartbroken they must be!"
In May, your mother didn't say anything to you, so don't overthink it.
This is what is meant by "protesting too much"—this first lady has certainly mastered it.
The statement is a double entendre, portraying Qiu Tong and Jun Beichen's failure to return home as an act of filial impiety in public.
As soon as she finished speaking, not only did Murong Wangtian frown, but the Demon Sect Master also frowned, his face turning dark.
He just couldn't understand what kind of people were around him.
The Demon Sect Master felt that the mission could not be completed today, so he had the idea of canceling the operation and withdrawing.
He wasn't stupid; if he continued to follow these mentally unstable people, he knew he would definitely be screwed over by them in the end.
Actually, the First Madam and Jun Nanfeng weren't fools, but when they saw Qiu Tong and Jun Beichen's calm and composed demeanor...
Coupled with Murong Wangtian's double standards, they were enraged.
That's why they act foolishly; it all boils down to their narrow-mindedness and inability to bear seeing the other person do well.
When it comes to acting skills, Qiu Tong is the best; her expression immediately changed to one of hurt.
She said in a slightly teasing tone, "Mother, it's not that I don't want to come back, it's just that the competition between sects is fierce. If I delay even a little, other disciples will catch up with me."
If I were to return home to enjoy comforts simply because of my desire to be at home, my disciples would quickly catch up with me, and that would bring shame upon our family.
I also channeled my longing for my family into strength, diligently cultivating myself for the glory of my clan.
I hope my father and mother will forgive my filial impiety. For the sake of the family, I will definitely study hard and bring honor to our ancestors.
As Qiu Tong reflected on her efforts over the past few years, how difficult it must have been for her to catch up with Jun Beichen's cultivation progress.
The more I thought about it, the more heartbroken I felt, and my eyes couldn't help but redden.
Her appearance made others believe even more in the hardships she had endured.
Come to think of it, establishing oneself in a major sect is no easy feat.
Some of the women who were invited to the banquet wiped away tears as if they were experiencing the same thing.
The elders of the family also nodded in satisfaction. They had even higher expectations for this illegitimate daughter, hoping she would complete her studies and return to inherit the family business.
The clan elders were already disappointed with the eldest son and wanted to promote Qiu Tong as the heir.
However, this matter has never been implemented; it has only been discussed privately.
However, after Qiu Tong's heartfelt words, they made a decision. Little did Qiu Tong know that her hard times were yet to come.
The eldest wife and eldest son never expected that Qiu Tong would gain the unanimous approval of the clan elders because of her speech at this time.
If they knew, they would probably regret their provocation today.
Not only did it not slander anyone, it also helped promote her.
Let the world know that the second young lady of the Murong family is a woman who is just as capable as any man, who dedicates herself to cultivation for the honor of her family, and is a filial child.
Seeing Qiu Tong's tactless remarks, Feng Die almost gritted her teeth, cursing Qiu Tong in her heart, while twisting Jun Nanfeng's waist with her hand, signaling him to do something quickly.
Suddenly being twisted in the waist, Jun Nanfeng grimaced in pain. If there hadn't been outsiders present, he would have slapped the person across the face.
Feeling the pain, he stopped the other person's evil act with one hand and rubbed the pinched spot with the other.
Adjusting his expression, he adopted the demeanor of a refined gentleman and said, "Second sister, cultivation requires a balance of work and rest. Haste makes waste. You should come home more often to visit."
Otherwise, outsiders would question the Murong family's upbringing and argue that women should behave like women.
Don't always think about getting ahead; those are men's things. Women should stay at home and raise children.
Like a mother, she is skilled at managing the household.
The expressions of those present were somewhat subtle, and a few people seemed to be moved by his words.
Those men were essentially the same as Jun Nanfeng; they all looked down on women.
But others saw things more clearly, knowing that Jun Nanfeng was belittling Qiu Tong's contributions by saying that.
Not only did it let everyone know that Qiu Tong was unfilial, but it also implied that Qiu Tong should stop daydreaming and stay at home to have children.
Jun Nanfeng felt that women were useless in all aspects except for bearing and raising children.
Even if she is chosen as an inner disciple by a major sect, she is still a woman. Women are supposed to be good wives and mothers, which is the tragedy of every woman in ancient times.
Because most people think this way, even in this world of cultivation.
However, it's not absolute. Cultivation is about aptitude, not gender. Jun Nanfeng's words might not matter in an ordinary family, but families that cultivate immortality are not as short-sighted as he is.
No sooner had he finished speaking than he was glared at fiercely by the clan elders.
He was completely unaware of what was happening, and was smugly pleased with himself, feeling that he had won back the game.
Qiu Tong didn't tolerate him either, and after he finished speaking, she retorted without any mercy.
“What my future brother-in-law said is true. I heard that my future brother-in-law also enrolled in Huashan Academy. How come I can’t find you there?”
And what about your future brother-in-law? Which sect has taken a liking to you and accepted you? Your cultivation level is now beyond the reach of most.
Otherwise, they wouldn't say that achieving success is a man's job. How high must one's achievements be to say such things?
Just tell me, so I can learn properly.
When Qiu Tong said the word "future," she deliberately emphasized it, as if to tell him that he was an outsider and had no right to interfere in the affairs of the Murong family.
He hasn't even married a daughter of the Murong family yet; he's just an outsider. What's with all the airs he's putting on?
Even if he has indeed married Fengdie, when has the Murong family ever been a matter for the Jun family to concern themselves with?
Do you live by the sea? Why are you being so nosy?
The elders were even more satisfied with her reply, feeling that she was a promising talent.
She handled these rumors with grace and composure, unlike other women who endured humiliation and remained silent.
Jun Nanfeng was startled by her words. He had really forgotten about their confrontation in front of the academy years ago, and he had also forgotten that they knew he had once enrolled in Huashan Academy.
He froze completely, even the smile on his face stiffened.
