Chapter 214 The Cunning Heavenly Dao: Drawing Big Promises and Assigning Her Great Tasks
After leaving the main residence of the Long family, Yu Jie walked silently toward the teleportation array.
She was merely a tool for her family to arrange a marriage with the Long family. If the marriage succeeded, she would be a distinguished guest of her maternal family; if it failed, she would not receive a warm welcome when she returned home.
The world was vast and boundless; she had no idea where she was headed.
The residents of the street watched her in silence.
This former island owner's wife lived an extremely difficult life.
But she also tried her best to improve the lives of all the island's residents.
So, even though they couldn't help her, they were willing to silently see her off.
A voice whispered in Yu Jie's ear: "Da...Yu..."
Yu Jie looked up and saw Long Xingkong.
She smiled, and tears gently slid down her cheeks.
Yes, what should I call you? I'm having trouble!
There's nothing difficult about it.
Most of the Long family members on the island had called her "elder sister-in-law," as a sign of respect for the island lord's wife.
That title no longer exists, so let's just call her Sister Yu, or Fellow Daoist Yu Jie, it's all fine.
She cast a cleansing spell on herself and said with a smile, "Call me Fellow Daoist Yu."
Long Xingkong cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Sister Yu, we've almost finished using the teleportation array. Why don't you come to my house for the night? Haiyun heard about what happened to you and was so upset that she didn't say a word all day."
Yu Jie, as the clan leader's wife, knew that Long Xingkong was the true eldest son, and she greatly admired his low-key, patient, and unassuming nature over the years.
Sometimes, she even wished that Long Xingkong would come and fight for it.
It's better than her good-for-nothing husband being controlled by his mother, causing her daughter's spiritual root to be destroyed and her whereabouts to be unknown.
She sensed that Long Xingkong had something to say to her, and nodded, saying, "Okay!"
Soon, Long Xingkong took Yu Min back to his home.
After hearing about Yu Jie and Long Xingyun's divorce, Long Xingkong and his wife hurriedly went to Zhong Lingxin and told her about Yu Jie's situation over the years, hoping that Zhong Lingxin could give Yu Jie a way out.
Although Yu Jie, with her Nascent Soul stage cultivation, could survive in the South China Sea, that would be too difficult.
Moreover, among the elites of the Long family that Zhong Lingxin planned to take away, there was the Long Xingyu family (originally, this did not include Long Xingyun and his wife).
Since Yu Min is already divorced, it would be good to have her help manage things.
These days, as a tenant of the Long family, Zhong Lingxin has also met the neighbors in the vicinity. Occasionally, she would go to the nearby teahouse to sit, and naturally she also heard about Yu Min's affairs.
She acknowledged and sympathized with Min.
Having slightly better qualifications is a good tool for climbing the social ladder within the family.
Over the years, she has tried her best to be fair and just, and has helped her wicked mother-in-law clean up a lot of messes.
What can I say about her?
She's just had bad luck all these years.
She married a good-for-nothing husband, yet couldn't divorce him. Bearing the title of clan chief's wife, she used her own share to help the people of Dragon Island, who were being tormented by Long Lao Er and her wicked mother-in-law.
Zhong Lingxin did not plan to send Yu Jie to Dragon Island. Her personality was still a bit weak. If it were her, she would have left the child behind.
However, leaving Yu Jie in the Qingyun Sect is an option.
Zhong Lingxin frankly shared her thoughts with Long Xingkong and his wife.
Long Xingkong thought to himself, "This isn't bad either."
At least, Sister-in-law... Yu Jie will still have a good cultivation environment in the future, and Long Xingyu and Long Ling'er can rest assured.
I heard that Long Xingyu was so angry that he roared and wanted to follow Yu Jie, but he was stopped by Long Ling'er, who had a cold look in her eyes.
Long Ling'er simply bowed to Yu Jie and told her to keep their communication talisman safe and go find her aunt. She assured Yu Jie that one day they would definitely come to find them.
Yu Jie understood what Long Ling'er meant, as did Long Xingkong and Zhong Lingxin.
She wanted to stay in the Long family, take over the family business, and avenge her aunt.
It is said that Long Xingyun watched from the side with a conflicted expression.
Zhong Lingxin was extremely interested in Long Ling'er; she was just the right fit for her temperament.
Long Xingkong took Yu Jie back to the courtyard.
This is Yu Jie's Nth time visiting this courtyard.
Every time she came, she was deeply moved.
This time, she was most deeply moved.
If only Long Xingkong were the clan leader! Her Lian'er wouldn't have had her spiritual roots destroyed and her whereabouts unknown.
Zhong Lingxin sat at the tea table, elegantly brewing tea.
Nan Haiyun, sitting to the side, saw Long Xingkong accompany Yu Jie in and hurriedly went to greet them, calling out, "Sister Yu!"
Her ideas were much simpler than Long Xingkong's.
In her opinion, Sister Yu should have left that den of wolves long ago.
Zhong Lingxin also stood up and called out "Sister Yu" along with Nan Haiyun.
Soon, Nan Haiyun introduced Zhong Lingxin's identity.
As the former clan leader's wife, Nan Haiyun knew far more about the Immortal Spirit Continent than Long Xingkong and his wife. Naturally, she knew that Zhong Lingxin was the only disciple of Qingyang Venerable Saint, who had recently ascended to immortality, and hurriedly said, "I have long admired you."
The group settled down at the tea table, and Yu Jie simply sipped her tea slowly, saying little.
She began to understand why Long Xingkong had suddenly invited her to his home.
Nan Haiyun quickly asked Yu Jie, "Sister Yu, do you have any plans to go anywhere?"
Yu Jie shook her head and said softly, "I want to go find Yu Lian first. Everyone says she escaped from the Yi family, but I haven't seen her, and I can't help but worry about her."
Nanhai Yun looked at Zhong Lingxin.
Zhong Lingxin knew that Nan Haiyun wouldn't know what to say next, so she sighed inwardly. "That cunning Heaven has painted such a rosy picture for me and assigned me such a good task."
She planned to put Long Xinglan on the throne of the Long family head, but her mother, who grew up in the city and had little experience and couldn't handle the situation, was too much of a hindrance.
Her training program has gained another person.
Helpless, Zhong Lingxin could only refill everyone's tea and said softly, "Sister Yu, Senior Brother Long and Senior Sister Nan have both told me about your situation. I admire you very much. You have had a hard time in the Long family all these years. You have to help the Long clan leader stabilize the entire Long family, deal with the second son of the Long family and your awful mother-in-law, and raise your children and grandchildren so well. There are really few people who can do better than you."
With just one sentence, Yu Jie's eyes reddened again. Thinking of her Lian'er, she said softly, "Thank you for the compliment, Junior Sister Zhong. I really wish I hadn't raised my children so well."
Seeing that Yu Jie was getting emotional, Zhong Lingxin immediately changed the subject: "Sister Yu, we heard the day before yesterday that you and the Dragon Clan Chief had divorced. Senior Brother Long and Senior Sister Nan both said that you have devoted yourself to the Dragon Clan for so many years and are not very familiar with the outside world. They asked me if you could come to our Qingyun Sect."
I was delighted when I heard that.
Sister Yu, I believe you have many places to go, but coming to our Qingyun Sect is an excellent choice.
Although Qingyun Sect is currently only a second-level sect, given Sister Yu's status, she must know about Qingyun Sect's foundation and current development.
The Qingyun Sect is also in dire need of talent.
Sister Yu's arrival at this time is perfectly timed; she will surely be given an important position.
A single peak is inevitable.
In this way, Sister Yu's life will surely be comfortable and pleasant.
Speaking of which, if Sister Yu went to another sect, she would definitely have a leader there. But since she's going to our Qingyun Sect, we'll get to know each other first, and know each other's backgrounds.
