Tian Ning wouldn't let Wenren Xue off so easily. If she wanted to cause trouble, she would help her, letting the wicked suffer the consequences.
The young woman propped her chin up, smiling lightly and curving her lips. She spoke to the group who had just been defending Wenren Xue: “No matter what, Demonic Qi can't disappear without a trace, right, everyone?”
This was the truth; no one could deny it.
Sect Leader Xiao immediately had someone bring up a Demon Detection Stone, completely ignoring Wenren Xue, who had suddenly become unsteady and was almost fainting.
Anyway, she could be tested while unconscious; it didn't require her to do anything.
Tian Ning continued her attack: “Just now, Wenren Xue said that Demonic Qi entered her body, causing her to lose her mind and try to kill me. But if she doesn't have any Demonic Qi on her at all, then…”
At this point, Tian Ning exaggeratedly covered her mouth, her eyes showing fear, terror, and disbelief.
It was just acting; she could do it too!
“Th-that… that means she intentionally wanted to kill me!”
Tian Ning fell onto the chair and began to wail: “Why… why would you do this to me? You usurped my identity as the Wenren Family's daughter for fifteen years! My parents, who originally belonged to me, spoiled and loved you; my brothers doted on you. They took me back but didn't care about me, still treating you, a child with no blood relation, so well… what else are you unsatisfied with? You enjoyed my life for fifteen years, and now, just because I'm back, are you afraid that I will take everything away, so you used Demonic Qi as an excuse to intentionally try to kill me?!”
“Wenren Xue! I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person!”
Everyone: “…”
Can you show some respect for everyone with that exaggerated acting?
However, all the disciples instantly felt like they had gotten some major gossip. Was this really the truth? But they clearly remembered…
“Wasn't it said that Tian Ning was born to a Wenren Family concubine and was taken back after being lost for years?”
“Yeah, shouldn't Tian Ning be jealous of Wenren Xue? How did it become the opposite?”
…
Tian Ning heard this, and it seemed Wenren Xue had been badmouthing her behind her back.
This woman really cared about her image. She wouldn't admit outside that she wasn't of Wenren Family bloodline, but instead slandered Tian Ning.
“This senior brother! And this senior sister! Where did you hear those rumors? You should know that I am the real daughter of the Wenren Family. If you don’t believe me, ask my fourth brother; he’s right here!” Tian Ning refuted the rumors on the spot. She would make Wenren Xue's calculations fall through today!
Wenren Yang was pushed forward, feeling Wenren Xue's pleading gaze, and he didn’t know what to do for a moment.
“Sixth sister…”
Wenren Yang had seen Tian Ning's outstanding performance in the Secret Realm competition with the new disciples.
He witnessed her spirited performance in the arena, her fearless proposal of solutions in front of the Six Sects' disciples, her refinement of a full furnace of Top-Grade Pills. She shone like stars, and even without the Wenren Family's support, many people would still gather around her… He wanted to get closer to this sister. If it were other matters, he definitely wouldn’t hesitate, but Wenren Xue was the sister he had cherished for fifteen years, and he didn’t want them to fall out like this…
He hoped they could get along harmoniously like ordinary sisters from noble families.
“Let's talk about family matters when we go home, okay? If…Fifth sister is truly jealous, I’ll have Mother take your side…”
Although his words still favored Wenren Xue, for Wenren Xue, who had always received Wenren Yang's unconditional affection, her fourth brother had changed.
As for Tian Ning, she wouldn’t be saddened by Wenren Yang's words at all.
From the first day she returned to Wenren Manor, the lack of a proper welcome, the second-hand items given to her, the deliberate picking on her—these were enough for her to not consider the Wenren Family as her own.
“Forget it, I knew you weren't reliable, Fourth Brother,” she said without much emotion, her tone light and casual, “I never counted on you anyway.”
Even though Tian Ning didn’t force him to reveal the truth, Wenren Yang felt empty inside.
Why?
Tian Ning didn't care about him. If someone like Wenren Xue wasn’t dealt with decisively, she would constantly come out to annoy you. Wenren Yang, Long Han, Xie Xingzhi… one after another would come looking for trouble, and Tian Ning didn't have that much free time to deal with them.
In front of all the disciples of the Wanjian Sect, Tian Ning sincerely said: “Fellow disciples, today, my fourth brother, Wenren Yang, shielded his sister and refused to admit the truth, but since I, Tian Ning, have spoken, I will surely give everyone an explanation.”
“I will clarify the rumors about me here.”
The young woman raised her hand, her three fingers together, taking Heaven as witness, clarifying the words: “Heaven above, I, Tian Ning, am the bloodline of the Head of the Wenren Family and Madam. Wenren Xue is merely a fake who usurped my place for fifteen years! Everything I said is true. If there is even a single false word, may Heavenly Thunder strike me down, and may I meet an untimely death!”
She actually made a Heavenly Dao Oath on the spot!
Now, even the disciples who were initially on Wenren Xue's side and thought Tian Ning was talking nonsense had to believe her. If she lied, Heavenly Thunder would have already struck her. Moreover, lying in a Heavenly Dao Oath would affect one's Dao Heart! In just two sentences, a cultivator's future and prospects could be completely ruined!
“Sixth sister, why did you have to do this…” Wenren Yang immediately thought, “…How will Fifth sister manage in the sect now?”
“Is your brain filled with water? You can’t even tell the difference between a human and a ghost!” Sect Leader Xiao couldn't stop Xiao Roushu from rushing out to protect her idol, “My senior sister Tian Ning has been telling the truth from the beginning to the end! Besides, why were there these inexplicable rumors in the sect saying Senior Sister Tian Ning was the daughter of a concubine? Why did people say that Senior Sister Tian Ning was jealous of this shameless person? Did Senior Sister Tian Ning have nothing better to do but deliberately spread those rumors? Heh—don’t you think about who benefits most from these rumors?”
“And I’ve never seen a brother like you! Even if you’re on Wenren Xue’s side, turning a blind eye when people said bad things about Senior Sister Tian Ning, but immediately jumping out to show favoritism when you hear Wenren Xue’s words, you shouldn’t blame her for telling the truth!”
“I think you should pour the water out of your brain first!”
“Get lost! Stay away from my Senior Sister Tian Ning!”
She chattered on, possibly, and her fighting power was incredibly strong!
Her Senior Sister Tian Ning had Innate Sword Bone! Wanting to deal with Wenren Xue was a piece of cake, did she need to be jealous?
They were really pushing their luck!
Tian Ning mentally gave Xiao Roushu a thumbs-up; this girl was her perfect mouthpiece.
Sect Leader Xiao looked up to the sky in despair. His daughter’s fierce look had been seen by the entire sect. How would she ever find a Daoist Partner now? Xiao Roushu, Xiao Roushu, when he named her, Sect Leader Xiao had hoped his daughter would grow up to be a gentle and virtuous Daoist Partner, but she turned out to be completely different from his expectations!
At this time, the Demon Detection Stone also yielded results.
“Sect Leader, no Demonic Qi was detected.”
This single sentence exposed Wenren Xue's carefully crafted lies…
With such a reversal, all the disciples were dumbfounded. Was this a case of the thief crying “thief”? How could there be such a shameless person in the world?
