A hint of sarcasm flashed in Mu Rou Xuan's eyes. She now realized that her mother was truly "virtuous"!
It was bad enough that she usually obeyed her father's every word; even her daughter had to humble herself.
She had never heard of a father who demanded things from his daughter.
What a truly "good" father!
If she had genuinely escaped death and obtained treasures from the secret realm, should she still offer them to her father?
Haha! How laughable, this was her father!
"There are no treasures."
"No spiritual elixirs."
"Nothing at all!" Mu Rou Xuan said coldly, then stated flatly before Mu Jingfeng could lose his temper, "Believe it or not, the secret realm just collapsed."
"I escaped from the secret realm by a hair's breadth between life and death," Mu Rou Xuan said coldly. "I ran for a long time in the back mountain of the Sun and Moon Divine Hall before finally escaping capture..."
"Capture?" Mu Jingfeng stared at his daughter with an inexplicable expression, as if trying to discern a hint of truth or falsehood in her eyes.
He didn't believe her!
A father who didn't believe his own daughter!
He still thought she was hiding something and not telling the truth.
Mu Rou Xuan didn't know whether bitterness or indignation dominated her heart.
Before Qiao Mu returned, she always felt that her life was genuinely good.
An upright father, a loving mother, and a handsome, dashing elder brother who was only good to her.
But now?
Everything seemed to have changed.
Her father had become increasingly repulsive; he was so shortsighted that he would even covet the small items in his daughter's pocket.
And her mother?
Even more so, she indiscriminately just wanted to maintain the superficial peace and tranquility of this family.
She had to force her to marry someone she didn't like, and to coexist peacefully with someone she disliked!
Self-deception to a laughable extent!
Elder brother? Speaking of elder brother was even more heartbreaking; it seemed his heart only held that demoness now.
Was this still the harmonious family it once was?
It had completely changed its flavor.
Mu Rou Xuan was both sad and furious. She flung her sleeve and strode out, "Every single word I said is the truth. When the secret realm collapsed, we got nothing. If anyone truly obtained something, it must be your other good daughter, Qiao Mu."
Mu Rou Xuan curled her lip mockingly. "If you want it, go ask her for it!"
"You stop right there!" Mu Jingfeng also lost his temper, glaring at Mu Rou Xuan's retreating back and scolding, "Is this how you speak to your father? Come back and explain clearly. What do you mean Qiao Mu got something? Her cultivation is not even as high as yours, how could she get it when you didn't?"
Mu Rou Xuan suddenly turned her head, laughing wildly at her parents. "Her cultivation is not as high as mine? Not as high as mine? Hahahahaha! You've all been deceived by her! She's a damn liar, a stinking demoness! She's someone who can even draw teleportation arrays, do you think her cultivation would be lower than mine?? Hahahahaha!"
With that, seeing a hint of fanatical delight surge in Mu Jingfeng's eyes, Mu Rou Xuan felt even more bitter and uneasy, and she silently cursed herself.
Let your mouth run wild, let you blab it out!
Now, everyone in the Mu family, including her parents, would certainly pay even more attention to Qiao Mu.
Her hands clenched into tight fists, and she told herself repeatedly in her heart: Perhaps she's dead, perhaps she's already died in that secret realm.
After all, the entire back mountain of the Sun and Moon Divine Hall experienced an earthquake at that time. Perhaps she has been buried in the back mountain, crushed to death by rocks in the abyss...
She'd better not come back!
