“Miss, what did you do?”

Miao ran in front of Xue Le and pushed her away but when she checked Treasury Elder’s body, she didn’t find any damage. She got confused for a moment.

But, at this time, Xue Le caught her head and released an immense amount of True Essence.

Lily went near her and poked Miao’s head before she could do anything. This poking sent all of the true essences inside her brain and knocked her out.

Thud!

Miao fell to the ground and Xue Le was simply staring at her with rage.

“Even the people whom I believed turned out to be betrayers. Brother, if you want me to help the family, I would gladly do it. But, since you want me to be your puppet, I will make you pay for that.”

Xue Le grabbed Miao grabbed. She was still heavy but soon, they reached one corner of the room. She placed her hand on the wall and the next moment, the wall suddenly opened up.

Inside the wall, there was a pathway but it was complete until she walked in. As she took the steps, the path in front of her became visible as the lights get turned on with her movement.

After a few seconds, she reached a room. This room was completely isolated.

“I made this room for myself so that I can cultivate without anyone’s disturbance but I didn’t expect to use it for you two.”

She took out a few talismans from her spatial ring and infused it with her true essence. Then, she placed it in Miao’s hands. She also tore her upper clothes and placed three talismans on her stomach.

Finally, she took out a hammer, nails, and some metallic chains. Then, she started smashing the hammer on it. Because this room was completely soundproof, she had no problem at all.

The sound can’t go out, the sound won’t come in. After smashing large nails on the wall, she chained Miao on the wall as well.

Then, she went outside and brought her master. Just like Miao, she was also knocked unconscious. So, Xue Le calmly smashed the nails and chained her as well.

She went out and brought a chair. Finally, she sat on her chair and waited. She wanted to know everything. She wanted to know who hurt her master. She wanted to know how they planned this and who knows about her love for Fu Chen.

She wanted to know what things they have already done to Fu Chen. Only if she learned everything, she can come up with a proper plan to get Fu Chen and her relationship to normal.

She didn’t plan to push the relationship into love right now but she wanted to make it back to normal as soon as she can.

After half an hour, both of them slowly opened their eyes. Both’s visions were blurry but when both of them saw Xue Le sitting in front of them, both had different reactions.

Treasury Elder was happy that she made it out alive while Miao’s mood darkened because she actually did what Xue Le wanted her to do. If she hadn’t pushed away Xue Le, she wouldn’t fall into her traps.

“Where is this?” Treasury Elder looked around as she found it strange to be inside a completely isolated room. She hasn’t even seen this room before.

“Miao….. Why are you chained? No, why am I chained? Le, explain yourself!”

Xue Le raised her eyebrows and cruelly stated.

“I don’t think I have to explain anything to a bitch who tried to destroy my love life just to maintain her own.”

Her words made Treasury Elder confused but when she heard her calling bitch, she became angry.

“Le, did you hit your head? I am your master.”

“Yeah! Yeah, I know. You became my master so that my brother can look after my every movement just so that I can help the family. You are here only because my brother wants to be here.” Xue Le replied.

“So, what? You have the potential to awaken our ancestor’s bloodline. Why shouldn’t he monitor your movement? Why shouldn’t he interfere in every step of your life? It’s all for the family.” Treasury Elder screamed at her with anger gushing out of her eyes.

“Sorry bitch…. Oh gosh! Look what you have done. Now I can’t even call you master or even sister-in-law. Anyway, do you really think I care about family when it comes to cultivation?” Xue Le asked with a cruel tone.

Her words made Treasury Elder stunned.

“Y-y-you planned to betray the family?”

“No, no, I am not going to betray the family. I never will. But, do you really think I cultivate so hard for my family? Do you really believe that I will stay in the family?”

“No! I never cultivated for the family. I have always cultivated for myself. Do you know why? Just like I told my love a few days ago, I will tell you here. Cultivation is not a charity. It’s a selfish action of the human being to become an immortal.”

“You know what? I have always known that they never planned to marry me to someone I love. But, guess what? I am not going to let that happen.”

Xue Le slowly stood up and walked towards Miao.

“So, from now on, you two will stay here until my strength surpasses yours. I can’t kill you two because you are like a family to me but I can’t let you go. So, tell me everything you have been hiding from me.”

“Xue Le, I don’t know what you are planning but you will fail miserably. In the end, you will do what the family wants you to do.” Treasury Elder clenched her fist as she tried to struggle and break free but she couldn’t do it.

Splash!

“Argh!”

Xue Le slashed a nail on her wrist, making her scream in pain.

“Now, will you tell me everything or shall I continue? I have taught myself forty-five ways to torture someone this year.” Xue Le ignored her scream and asked Miao.

Seeing her mistress screaming in pain, Miao screamed “Stop! Stop! I will tell you.”

“Good girl!” Xue Le took out the nail and covered the blood flow with her true essence. Slowly, her wounds started healing and Miao started speaking.

After half an hour,

“Well, isn’t that good news? His family is safe. You two are out of my way and now, both of us can go back to our normal days. This is just perfect.” Xue Le giggled and walked away.

“I will bring you food every week.”

Treasury Elder looked her back with rage. Everything went completely not as she planned. She got beat up and chained inside a room. Xue Le knows everything now and she will tell everything to Fu Chen.

And, there is one more problem. Because she is the future of the family, they can’t kill her. So, if she threatens herself to die, they would have no choice but fulfill her request.

Xue Le’s existence is complicated. Because she was born a female, she had to marry someone and if she marries someone who isn’t part of their family, she would leave and her child would be the heir of her husband’s family.

She will take the bloodline away with her. This could bring a catastrophe to their family because nobody in thousand years has shown the potential to awaken the bloodline.

They can’t kill her. They can’t let her marry someone from another family. And, they won’t let her slack off. Basically, they wanted to put her under their palm.

No matter if she is their daughter or sister, the interest of the family comes first.

After Xue Le walked out of that room, she immediately opened the door but just when she did, she stumbled against a person.

“I wonder what made the little princess rush like this.”

When Xue Le’s heard this voice, her heartbeat escaped. She opened slowly raised her head and saw a man standing in front of her. He was nearly six feet tall and had a slender body.

He had a pale complexion, with a bright smile on his lips. His black hair was long and he was holding a fan in his hand.

As she saw the man, she started trembling. Her mind was shaken and her heartbeat was off the charge.

“B-brother?”
