After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 170 Qi Family
Everyone originally didn't want to go to Qi's house and cause him trouble, but if he needed their help, they would definitely lend a hand!
This is a family matter, and it has little to do with one's personal cultivation level. Even if Senior Brother Qi is at the Nascent Soul stage, he might still find it difficult to handle.

If there are some outsiders present at this time, things might actually be easier to get done.

“Yes, if there’s room, we’d like to bother you,” Chen Lan said.

"correct."

Qi Heng wanted to refuse.

If there's nothing going on at home, it's quite nice of him to invite everyone over and treat them to good food and drinks.

But if the house is a mess, wouldn't inviting someone over just cause everyone more trouble?

But when everyone looked over, their eyes were full of concern; they were clearly worried about him because of what their junior sister had said.

and also……

There was no opportunity for a private conversation along the way, so Qi Heng still didn't know what was going on with his junior sister's strange behavior, but that didn't stop him from trusting the voice.

The underwater experience already shows that what the junior sister said, though seemingly outrageous, is actually all true!
Qi Heng couldn't understand how she knew this. It was something he himself didn't know, yet she seemed to know everything with a snap of her fingers.

If that's the case, then there might be a time when we need our junior sister's help with family matters...

With time running out, Qi Heng made a decision immediately: "There's enough room. In that case, I'll have to trouble everyone to come with me."

Everyone said it was nothing.

Yueyuan City is very close to Cangming Plain, and the group arrived at Yueyuan City without traveling too far.

On the way, Qi Heng gave a brief account of his family's situation ten years ago—

Since everyone is there to help, there's no need to worry about family matters. It's better to explain things in advance so that everyone is not confused when they arrive.

It turns out that the Qi family was a well-known family in Yueyuan City. Qi Heng's father, Qi Rong, was quite talented. After meeting the sword cultivator Lin Fu, they became Daoist partners and had their eldest son, Qi Heng.

However, problems arose frequently after their marriage. Qi Heng did not know the specific reasons, but from the time he could remember, he saw his parents becoming estranged, and the two often quarreled and parted on bad terms.

Qi Rong also took several concubines, and Qi Heng had several younger brothers and sisters.

As for his mother, Lin Fu, she became increasingly irritable, and during one of her sword practices, her spiritual energy surged, damaging her meridians.

After Lin Fu could no longer wield a sword, she seemed to have even less "value" and had a very low presence in the family. Even the concubines could easily trample on her, which made Qi Heng's life very difficult as well.

In the cultivation world, strength is everything. Some powerful families recognize the special status of their eldest sons, but the Qi family is clearly not one of them.

Qi Rong's heart had long been biased towards his concubine, and he took better care of her children. Compared to his sweet-talking younger siblings, Qi Heng, who always stood up for his mother, had obviously lost favor. He and his mother lived in the mansion, but it was as if they had been forgotten by the Qi family, and he could only enjoy the worst resources.

"Son, all you need to do is cultivate diligently. Once you become stronger, take your mother and leave the Qi family mansion," Lin Fu said to him.

Qi Heng was clumsy with words and didn't know how to say anything to please his mother, so he could only cultivate even harder. He knew that the reason his mother stayed in the Qi family to suffer was not because she had any expectations of his father, but because she was thinking about his future.

With no one at home and her meridians injured, Lin Fu was practically unarmed. In this state, she couldn't take Qi Heng away; the Qi family wouldn't allow it.

Moreover, even if they could take him away, the two of them wouldn't be able to make a living. Cultivation requires a lot of money, so rather than wandering around outside and living a precarious life, it would be better to rely on the Qi family's protection for now and wait until Qi Heng grows up.

Qi Heng was not originally a member of the Immortal Sect, but the sect he had been in had a terrible reputation. He was framed by his fellow disciples when he was still in the Qi Refining stage and was expelled from the sect by his master.

After that, he met his second master and joined the Xianlai Sect.

The people of the Immortal Sect treated him very well, but the resources were too poor, which slowed down his cultivation speed. He was never as good as Qi Xu, the son born to Aunt Li, who was Qi Heng's third brother.

Since getting married, Qi Rong has been indulging in the pleasures of love and neglecting his cultivation, which caused his cultivation level to stagnate at the Golden Core stage and then remain stagnant.

Qi Heng originally thought that once his cultivation surpassed his father's, he would have a voice in the family. However, Qi Xu was favored and he was overshadowed by Qi Xu. Even after reaching the Golden Core stage, he still could not compete with the Qi family and could not take his mother away.

Qi Xu was already quite talented. After joining a major sect and being accepted as a personal disciple, he also received strong support from the Qi family. As early as thirteen years ago, he had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and he was a genius known to everyone in the entire Yueyuan City!

Qi Heng was seething with anger. He knew that if he wanted the entire Qi family to take him seriously and stop threatening him with his mother, he either needed a powerful backer, such as someone whose sect and master were far superior to Qi Xu's.

Or perhaps his cultivation level has also reached the Nascent Soul stage!

Even if he can't surpass Qi Xu, but is only on par with him, the Qi family won't look down on him.

After all, the Nascent Soul and the Golden Core are completely different levels. Reaching the Golden Core level would only earn him some respect from the Qi family, but reaching the Nascent Soul level would make them treat him with caution and never dare to underestimate or bully him again.

As the years went by, his mother's health deteriorated day by day, which made Qi Heng grit his teeth and try harder and harder.

Ten years ago, he was on the verge of a breakthrough when he learned that his mother’s cousin, who was also his aunt, had come to the Qi family to visit and take care of his mother. That’s when he thought of going home to see her.

Firstly, I wanted to ask my aunt to take good care of my mother, and secondly, I wanted to let my father know that I was close to a breakthrough so that he would pay more attention to my mother.

But who knew that he would suddenly feel a breakthrough halfway there, and realize that he would not make it home in time, so he had to stop temporarily and choose to break through in Cangming Plain.

At that time, he was extremely excited and eagerly hoped that he could break through soon so that he could go home and leave with his mother openly and legitimately.

At that time, he was thinking: Although I need to temporarily go into seclusion to break through my cultivation barrier, my aunt is taking care of my mother at home, so I think everything should be fine.

It wasn't until I heard Mo Jiuwei's "words" that I learned that my cousin had actually slept with my father, and that my mother was already seriously ill!

This made Qi Heng's eyes redden, and he wished he could fly back to the Qi family immediately and kill that woman with a single sword!

After hearing Qi Heng's story about his family, everyone's expressions showed a mixture of anger and sympathy.

"Pah, what aunt! I think that woman is only after your Qi family's wealth, that's why she approached your mother with bad intentions."
