The villain, Xiao Nanliang, caused the female lead excruciating pain.

Yongzhou City is within the sphere of influence of the Yunmiao Immortal Sect. The four major families, including the Mu family, all rely on the Yunmiao Immortal Sect for survival.

Unlike three years ago when they were almost wiped out, the Mu family, now relying on Su Qi's connection and backed by the powerful Yunmiao Immortal Sect, has developed into the number one family in Yongzhou City.

The other three major families now have to avoid the Mu family.

In fact, the Mu family was only trying to survive at first. After Su Qi's adoptive mother, Su Yun, died, they felt that Su Qi, this good-for-nothing, would lose power in the Yunmiao Immortal Sect, so they became even more discreet.

But later they discovered that Su Qi had not lost power, and the stewards of Yunmiao Immortal Sect in Yongzhou City still treated them with great courtesy and preferential treatment, so the Mu family gradually became bolder.

They recklessly and unrestrainedly expanded the family business and seized the assets of the other three families.

The Mu family, which was almost wiped out back then, has clearly become a powerful force in Yongzhou.

In the Mu family council hall, the current head of the Mu family, Mu Feier's father Mu Wencheng, is discussing matters with the family elders.

Originally, the position of head of the family was not his, but what could he do when someone had a good daughter who married well?

At that moment, a servant ran in with a letter and respectfully handed it over.

"Master, it's a letter from your son-in-law!"

"Haha, is my son-in-law showing concern for his father-in-law again?"

Mu Wencheng assumed that this would be the same as before, a letter from Su Qi inquiring about his well-being.

With a smug look on his face, he opened the letter in front of all the elders.

Then the elders saw that their patriarch's face gradually stiffened, and he stood frozen in place.

"Homeowner?"

The elder closest to him called out.

Mu Wencheng shuddered, and the letter fell to the ground.

The elders looked over instinctively and saw the words "Divorce Agreement" in large letters at the top, and Su Qi had already signed his name at the bottom.

"Divorce? This... how did things suddenly turn into a divorce?"

The council chamber erupted instantly. They knew very well that the Mu family's rise to power in Yongzhou was entirely due to Su Qi.

As for Mu Feier, a member of the Mu family, she had already lost all hope in the family because they forced her to marry three years ago.

She had made it clear before she got married that by agreeing to marry Su Qi to help the Mu family overcome the crisis, she had already repaid the Mu family's kindness in raising her, and from then on, they would owe each other nothing.

Although the Mu family is still using Mu Feier to intimidate others, if something really happens, Mu Feier won't care.

"Isn't it obvious? This young lady doesn't want to consummate the marriage with him, and he's had enough."

"Well...didn't we send a beautiful maid over there?"

"Perhaps the son-in-law has gotten tired of it. How about we send him another one?"

The people below were all talking at once.

The elder's dragon-head cane slammed heavily onto the ground, and the people below fell silent instantly.

The elder then looked at Mu Wencheng and saw that he was still in a dejected state, as if he were the one who had been abandoned. He was immediately dissatisfied.

"Let's call Fei'er back first and see what's going on!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Wencheng suddenly came to his senses and quickly took out his communication jade token to contact Mu Feier.

The call was quickly connected, and before he could speak, a cold voice came from the other end.

"I'll be there soon."

He hung up immediately after saying that.

The Mu family's higher-ups waited for a long time before Mu Feier finally arrived. She walked gracefully into the council hall, not even glancing at anyone else, and went straight to ask Mu Wencheng.

"Where's the divorce agreement?"

Mu Wencheng glanced subconsciously at the envelope on the table next to him, then said with some dissatisfaction.

"Now that your cultivation level is high, you've forgotten how to call me 'Father'?"

"That's right, what kind of attitude is this? Aren't all of you your elders? No matter how high your cultivation level is, if you don't know how to respect your elders, I think you've cultivated in vain!"

Actually, they regretted it too. They had known that Mu Feier was so talented, and they should have talked to her properly instead of forcing her, which made the relationship between them so strained.

"Hmph, I ceased to belong to the Mu family three years ago when you sold me to someone else."

Mu Feier sneered and walked over to pick up the letter on the table.

"What are you trying to do? You want to divorce Su Qi? I don't agree!" Mu Wencheng grabbed the letter.

He knew exactly where his current position came from.

The Mu family has now offended the other three great families. Once they lose the support of the Yunmiao Immortal Sect, the Mu family will immediately face joint retaliation from the three great families.

Seeing this scene, it would be a lie to say that Mu Feier wasn't sad. She recalled the scene three years ago when the entire Mu family was forcing her to marry Su Qi.

Unconsciously, Su Qi's words at Su Yun's grave came to mind.

At that time, even Su Qi, an outsider, knew that she couldn't be forced into a marriage alliance, so he took the initiative to ask Su Yun for help, although in the end it backfired.

But this biological father, knowing full well that she had someone she liked, still forced her to marry Su Qi.

My heart grew cold.

“I am already married and no longer a member of the Mu family. You have no right to interfere with me.”

Mu Feier used her spiritual power to push Mu Wencheng away, then picked up the letter and was about to leave.

"presumptuous!"

The elder was furious and swung his dragon-headed staff at them.

Mu Feier no longer concealed her aura, unleashing the pressure of a Nascent Soul Realm expert as she raised her palm to retaliate.

At the moment of impact, the elder's dragon-headed staff shattered into wood chips, and he staggered backward, falling back into his chair, his eyes wide with horror.

"Nascent Soul Realm?!"

He thought that Mufier was at most on the same level as him.

But he ultimately underestimated just how fast a chosen one could cultivate when resources were plentiful.

“I am no longer the Mufier you could manipulate at will three years ago. If you make a move again, I will not show any mercy.”

What was Mu Feier's purpose in cultivating day and night for these three years?

Isn't it all about taking control of one's own destiny?

Seeing that his daughter's cultivation level was so high, Mu Wencheng, who was full of excitement, finally remembered to show his fatherly love.

But Mu Feier didn't give him a chance to speak; she vanished in a flash.

The group of Mu family executives were left behind with complicated expressions.

It would be a lie to say they don't regret it; they actually pushed such a genius out.

If they had kept Mu Feier in the family and nurtured her properly, wouldn't they have gained a Nascent Soul Realm expert who would be loyal to the family?

After leaving the Mu family, Mu Feier walked along the road, holding the letter in her hand, her mind elsewhere.

Children were playing in the street, and their parents watched with happy smiles on their faces.

This reminded Mu Feier of the time when her mother was still alive.

At that time, the three of them lived in Pingnan City and managed the family business.

Ye Feng's family was their business partner, and their parents were good friends. She and Ye Feng used to play and joke around like other children, with their parents watching from the sidelines.

If she could, she really wanted to go back to the way things were.

But ever since my mother died, my father has changed, and the home no longer feels warm.
