Chapter 5.2 - Wake Up, Male Lead (1/2)

Wei Liang peeked over at Lin Jiu. She raised his eyebrows and glared at him. Did he just believe all this bullshit?

After Zheng Zi Yu finished complaining, she tried to push further excuses on Wei Liang. “Son-In-Law, don’t blame me for being desperate, but after my husband sacrificed himself for you, who else would lead the Qing Yin sect! My young son has to bear this heavy responsibility at such a young age, and the people around us are eyeing our sect, waiting for the chance to eat the both of us up! There’s also the Wang family to be concerned for! By letting Qiu marry you, we offended the Wang family! At times like this, you are not going to just stand aside and watch, right?”

It was then that Liu Qin Ying stepped into the main hall, and she was the first to respond to the woman’s words.

“You can’t say this, lady. Many heroes sadly died during the battle, but they all did it for justice, just like Cultivator Lim. Why would it be the Thousand Divine Swords’ responsibility? It was you who agreed to marriage with the Wang family first and later regretted it, so what does that have to do with Master?”

Zheng Zi Yu looked at Liu Wing Ying from top to bottom and laughed coldly. “Wow, and I was here thinking who this might be? Isn’t this the world’s cheapest great swordsman! What do other people’s marriage have to do with you? Did your father teach you the ways of incest between you and your father!”

Liu Qing Yin gave a choke, and she almost took out her blade right there and then.

Zheng Zi Yu paid her no attention, she turned around and looked confidently at Wei Liang. “So, Son-In-Law, you have to help my son to stabilize his position as the head of the Qi Ying sect. There are three spiritual meridians near the Qing Ying sect. I’m not greedy, but if Son-In-Law could give us two of the spiritual meridians, that will do.”

She stopped slightly before continuing. “As for the Wang family, it’s as simple as one sentence from you. I’ll leave it in your hands. Also, your brother-in-law Lin Dong only has the basic formations, and it is far from sufficient to handle a whole sect. Could you send someone along with us to manage the whole sect, or just give Lin Dong a few hundred years of cultivation skills? This will help him achieve at least the last stage of base formation. I’m not greedy, so I won’t force you to help him achieve core formation.”

Wei Liang’s apprentice protested strongly at his side. “Master! The Wang family’s apprentice already came over yesterday, saying that this lady barged into their premises a few days ago, claiming how you will send people over to destroy the Wang family. She threatened them and said if they didn’t want their family to be destroyed, then they would need to pass their new born’s spiritual water to her. The Wang family came asking our sect if we’re tarnishing our own reputation by stealing from them! I held back this news because it was your important day yesterday, and I didn’t think this woman would come today, and—”

He lost his voice because he got so angry, and Liu Qing Yin hurriedly stepped forward, softly comforting him.

Lin Jiu couldn sense that Liu Qing Yin’s gaze was secretly happy. She knew very clearly in her heart that a mother-in- law like Zheng Zi Yu would only cause Wei Liang to hate his wife.

Zheng Zi Yu swatted Lin Jiu on the arm. “Say something! Why are you standing here like a mute person! You think you’re so mighty after marrying him, do you? You don’t care about your brother anymore? I’m telling you, you crawled out from my tummy, and it’ll forever be your responsibility to help your brother!”

Lin Jiu was slightly dazed. She was reminded of her father that pushed her down the building in her last life. Her mother here was the same, shouting the same words at her.

“You’re a girl, why would you need money and a house for! The money should be voluntarily used to help your brother!”
