22: Why do you look down on her? What did she do wrong?

“Ask him for a favor?”

Chu Tian turned his head and glanced at his Third Uncle, Chu Tianyun, before smiling and saying, “Okay, Auntie, I’ll ask Third Uncle for a favor.”

Chu Tianyun, who was standing nearby, couldn’t help but laugh wryly at the words.

It was his son-in-law, Chu Tian, who had ordered Liu Zheng to be imprisoned, strictly monitored, and interrogated.

Yet, Luo Yushan was asking Chu Tian for help.

“Auntie thanks you, Xiao Tian, on behalf of that scoundrel Liu Zheng. Don’t worry, Xiao Tian, once he’s out, I’ll keep a close eye on him and make sure he doesn’t act recklessly.”

Luo Yushan thanked him repeatedly before turning to scold Liu Yun, who was beside her: “You girl, why don’t you understand anything? Xiao Tian isn’t holding it against you, but you can’t even apologize or thank him?”

“Chu Tian, thank you for being willing to save my father.”

Liu Yun bit her lip and spoke in a very small voice, as if uttering those words had exhausted all her courage.

After all, he had always tolerated her, forgiven her, and been considerate of her, no matter how willful she was or how excessive her demands were towards him.

But in the past two days, Chu Tian had changed like a different person.

His gaze when he looked at her was like looking at a completely unrelated person.

He also wouldn’t secretly bring her the precious Cultivation resources that Chu Tian King had given him, nor would he apologize or show tolerance; he wouldn’t even proactively greet her.

It was as if she was just an irrelevant passerby.

Especially after the news of Chu Tian breaking into the top spot on the Forging Bone Rankings spread, Liu Yun felt even more wronged, always feeling as if Chu Tian had disliked her.

But why did Chu Tian dislike her? What had she done wrong?

It was his Chu Family who had proactively sought a marriage alliance with the Liu Family and set the childhood engagement. Moreover, it was Chu Tian who had proactively sought her out, willingly helping her.

What wrong had she done?

When she saw Chu Tian arrive at the Liu Family just now, she had originally thought that as long as Chu Tian spoke to her first, she would take the hint, forgive him, and not hold it against him that his Third Uncle had killed so many people from the Liu Family.

But Chu Tian actually ignored her.

So what if he broke into the top spot on the Forging Bone Rankings and fortunately ascended to the top of the Forging Bone Rankings? What’s so great about that?

It’s not even certain how long he can stay at the top of the Forging Bone Rankings.

Why did Chu Tian suddenly stop being good to her? Yesterday, he was so fierce to her and even hit her for a lowly maid.

Liu Yun was full of grievances and still didn’t think she had done anything wrong. She pouted, lowered her head, and simply refused to apologize proactively.

Seeing her daughter like this, Luo Yushan was furious and anxious. She hastily defended, “Xiao Tian, don’t be angry. Xiao Yun knows she made a mistake. She’s just a young girl with thin skin, please be understanding. Although you are both still young, you are already betrothed. In the future, you will be one Family, so don’t take it to heart.”

“One Family?”

Hearing these three words, a cold glint instinctively flashed in Chu Tian’s eyes. Remembering the disgusting events of the original plot, killing intent surged in his heart.

He immediately stopped bothering with the pretense. Chu Tian said indifferently, “Not every trivial matter is worth my attention. As for being one Family, forget it; I can’t bear it.”

Luo Yushan’s face instantly turned pale; the meaning of that sentence was too profound.

“Xiao Tian, listen to Auntie explain.”

Chu Tian no longer paid attention to the mother and daughter and walked forward.

But at this moment, Liu Yun’s eyes were red, and tears streamed down her cheeks like pearls. She suddenly ran in front of Chu Tian, spread her arms, and blocked him: “Chu Tian, you tell me clearly, are my matters trivial in your eyes?”

“Ye Fan saved my life, and I want to repay his kindness with everything I have. Is that wrong? Why do you treat me like this because of that?”

“You tell me clearly, otherwise, don’t even think of leaving.”

Chu Tian’s gaze was cold, and he said indifferently, “What you do has nothing to do with me. Get out of the way.”

“I won’t move! You must explain yourself today!” Liu Yun shouted.

Slap!

A violent whooshing sound accompanied by a crisp slap, and Liu Yun flew backward.

Chu Tian withdrew his hand, greeted Chu Tianyun, and then left the Liu Family Manor, returning to his palace carriage.

Nine Blazing Fiery Lions snorted, rose into the air, and flew towards the Sect.

He was never a bleeding heart.

He had been Reborn to see the splendor of this world, to reach the Peak of this world, and to behold the scenery beyond the Peak.

This kind of girl who liked to play little tricks, her petty thoughts, were truly obvious in front of him.

If it weren’t for the deep entanglement between the Chu Family and the Liu Family due to the marriage alliance over the years, he wouldn’t even spare Liu Yun a second glance.

“Chu Tian, you bastard, you hit me again!”

Liu Yun’s small face was swollen and red again. She lay on the ground, crying heartbrokenly. She truly didn’t understand why Chu Tian’s attitude towards her had changed so much.

That feeling was like her little dog, who had always belonged to her and would wag its tail and pounce on her when it saw her, suddenly ignored her. And when she went up to talk to it, the little dog would even bite her.

“You girl, why are you so stubborn?”

Luo Yushan rushed over to help her daughter up, saying angrily and disappointedly, “You were corrupted by that scoundrel, your father. All that nonsense about ‘a drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring’ and ‘repaying kindness with everything you have’ is pure rubbish.

The benefits you’ve given that good-for-nothing over the years are worth a hundred of his lives.

Now look, retribution has come.”

But despite the scolding, she was, after all, her own daughter, and the survival of the Liu Family still depended on Chu Tian. Luo Yushan whispered, “Your mother is an experienced person and can see that Xiao Tian actually still values you very much. As long as you lower your head, admit your mistake, and promise not to associate with that good-for-nothing and the Ye Family in the future, Xiao Tian will forgive you.”

“Mom, I just want to repay kindness. What’s wrong with that?” Liu Yun gritted her teeth, maintaining her last bit of stubbornness.

But for no reason, a hint of regret suddenly arose in her heart.

Had she gone too far in repaying kindness, ignoring Chu Tian’s feelings?

Should she find an opportunity to apologize to Chu Tian in person?

“What does your desire to repay kindness have to do with my Chu Family?” Suddenly, Chu Tianyun’s voice, filled with dense Evil Qi, rang out.

The mother and daughter turned their heads and saw Chu Tianyun staring at them, causing them to tremble violently and their faces to instantly turn pale.

“It has been clarified that the Liu Family’s violation of Sect rules has nothing to do with you. You may return to your residences in the Manor and travel between the Manor and the Sect. However, you are not allowed to wander freely within the Manor, nor are you allowed to converse with others casually; otherwise, you will bear the consequences.”

Chu Tianyun didn’t pay much attention to the mother and daughter; there were still many matters in the Liu Family that he needed to handle after the fact.

After all, it now seemed that retaining Liu Yun’s childhood engagement title was merely a temporary measure.

Without the Heavenly Mandate Dao Venerable’s Dao charm blessing, Liu Yun’s true talent would soon be revealed. At that time, after the Chu Family righteously eliminated their relatives, they could naturally annul the engagement without causing any doubts within the Sect.

How could an ordinary girl who merely possessed an Innate Physique, whose Family had original sin, and whose Physique was falsified, be worthy of the Chu Family’s Young Lord?
