Chapter 195 Then Pay Up

"Hmph, who are you? What business do you have at my Immortal Sect?" Although she knew the woman's purpose, Chen Lan still asked coldly, showing no kindness whatsoever.

"I'm Xiaoruo's aunt!" The woman wiped away her tears. "We've been apart for a year. I never expected to see this child again. She's grown so much and is still so beautiful and adorable. Xiaoruo, come to your auntie and let me take a good look at you."

She reached out her hand and looked at Mo Jiuwei encouragingly.

Mo Jiuwei didn't even look at her, which made the woman's expression gradually become awkward.

Mo Jiuwei was looking down and playing with her fingers.

[They sound so convincing, it's a pity, their acting skills are still lacking.]

Acting skills? Liu Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he asked:
"You say she's Jiuwei's aunt, but do you have any proof?"

"Yes, this child was born on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month last year. My sister and I placed her in front of your mountain gate. At that time, she was still wrapped in a swaddle blanket," the woman said.

"Oh? What color is the swaddling clothes? Are they patterned or blue?" Liu Feng continued to ask.

"This...is it a pattern?" The woman clutched the hem of her dress, seemingly lost in thought. "It's been a while, I...I can't quite remember now."

"It's only been a year, and you can't even remember?" Du Yue scoffed. "It seems your impression of this niece isn't very deep at all."

"No, that swaddling cloth was just something we grabbed, I really don't remember clearly," the woman said anxiously. "But she really is my sister's daughter!"

"What about your sister?"

"She died. She and her father died not long after giving birth to Xiaoruo." The woman cried. "The reason we abandoned Xiaoruo was because things were really tough at the time, and we had enemies chasing us. If Xiaoruo had stayed with us, her life would have been in danger! So we had no choice but to do it!"

[Tsk, where did the Liuxian Sect find these people? Their methods are full of flaws.]

[Could Uncle Liu and the others really have believed her?]

Mo Jiuwei couldn't bear to watch anymore.

What?! They were sent by the Liuxian Sect?!
They hadn't heard that name in a long time. For a long period, everyone had been busy following Mo Jiuwei around searching for treasure, and they were no longer focused on their own little plot of land as before.

Therefore, while people still dislike and despise the Liuxian Sect, they don't hold onto this hatred in their hearts all the time.

Unexpectedly, before they even planned to attack the Liuxian Sect, the other side couldn't hold back and came up with such a trick!
It seems that the matter of the Breakthrough Pill made them restless, so they tried to infiltrate the organization under the guise of recognizing relatives, hoping to gain some benefits.

"So, you're the only family Jiuwei has left?"

"Yes, I am her closest relative!"

"Since that's the case, then pay up," Liu Feng suddenly said. "Pay 100,000 crystal stones, and you can take the person away."

Mo Jiuwei blinked and looked at Liu Feng. Liu Feng was staring at the woman, but Mo Jiuwei saw Liu Feng's finger, which was placed at his side, shake towards her.

[Hehe, Uncle Liu is so naughty.]

[One hundred thousand crystals, that must have scared her to death!]

Indeed, the woman was completely taken aback by this turn of events and was startled. "One hundred thousand?! Why should I pay one hundred thousand? Are you out of your mind?!"

She had prepared answers to many questions beforehand, unafraid of being asked questions. After all, even the people of the Xianlai Sect didn't know who the child's real parents were, and there was no way to verify it. It was said that the people of the Xianlai Sect doted on this adopted girl, and since she had come to them, they certainly wouldn't be willing to hand her over.

I took this opportunity to suggest staying for a few days so I could get to know this girl better.

Once I stay at the Immortal Sect, I can take the opportunity to investigate their strengths and weaknesses, and also find out where they got this Breakthrough Pill.

But who would have thought that the people from the Immortal Sect would act so unexpectedly, asking only a few questions before demanding money, and even 100,000!

She doesn't have 100,000!
"Of course it should be 100,000. If it weren't for us, your niece would have frozen and starved to death last December. Where would you be now? We not only saved her life, but also raised her for more than a year. You can't even imagine the effort and energy we put in. This 100,000 is too little."

Mu Xue lifted her hands and chest, then gently raised her chin to look at the woman.

"You, you're asking for the moon!" The woman's face turned pale with anger. "Don't even mention one child, even ten or a hundred children wouldn't be worth this much money!"

Although they already knew from Mo Jiuwei that this woman was an imposter, they still laughed in anger upon hearing her words.

Jiuwei is right, this woman's acting is terrible. How did the Liuxian Sect find her?
He even claimed to be the only relative, but his tone and attitude showed absolutely no affection or attachment.

"If you don't want to pay, then get lost." Hu Jiu waved his sleeve, his eyes filled with disgust. "Get as far away as you can. If you ever dare to come here again to claim kinship, we'll break your legs!"

"Not bad!" Ji Qingqing coldly drew her sword. "Are you going to leave or not? If you're not going to leave, I'll send you on your way."

"You, you just wait!"

The woman was clearly frightened, but she still stubbornly left behind a sentence before running away.

“Jiuwei, don’t take what we said earlier to heart. We could tell that this person was an imposter, so we deliberately drove her away like that.” Liu Feng turned to Mo Jiuwei and explained to her, “To us, you are the most important family member. Let alone 100,000, even if it’s a million or ten million, no one can buy you away.”

“Yes, that woman isn’t your aunt. We only said that to provoke her.” Chen Lan patted her head.

Although they knew Jiuwei was very smart and must have seen through everything long ago, they still wanted to explain it to her so as not to hurt her feelings.

Mo Jiuwei smiled sweetly and nodded, "I know, she's an imposter. You are Jiuwei's closest people!"

Everyone finally smiled.

"In your opinion, what is this person's background?" Meng Ling asked deliberately.

After a moment of contemplation, Liu Feng said, "I think... it might be someone from the Liuxian Sect. They've always been at odds with us, and now they've probably heard about the Breakthrough Pill and can't sit still, so they sent someone to investigate."

Mo Jiuwei looked over in surprise—

Wow, Uncle Liu is amazing! He even guessed it right!

I was planning to remind them, but it seems I can skip that now.

Liu Feng suppressed a laugh, barely managing to maintain his nonchalant demeanor.

“Cough, yes, I also think they are very suspicious.” Chen Lan turned her head away.

"The Liuxian Sect has gone too far! They even came up with such a despicable idea!" Du Yue's anger was genuine. "Are we just going to let them do what they want?"
