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

Chapter 378 Sun Family
Regarding the crystals, Sun Ru offered 20% more than the market price.

If she wasn't trying to force a sale, then this could be considered a small token of her appreciation.

However, at this moment, such "good intentions" seem rather inappropriate.

Qiqi's eyes reddened with anger, and she bit her lip hard.

She was filled with resentment. If she had come to the shop a little earlier, or paid more readily and left immediately after buying, wouldn't she have avoided provoking Sun Ru?

In that case, the master wouldn't have to suffer humiliation because of me!
Qi Qi knew that Mo Jiuwei had a way to get revenge, but seeing Mo Jiuwei have to endure Sun Ru's provocative gaze and words still made her feel incredibly guilty.

"What are you still standing there for? Give me the Xihua Frost!" Seeing that Qiqi was still not moving, Sun Ru's face darkened again.

Qi Qi dared not cause any more trouble for Mo Jiuwei. Even though she harbored resentment, she could only hand over the box.

"Wait a minute," Mo Jiuwei spoke up, walking towards Qi Qi. "This thing originally belonged to me, so I should at least see what it looks like, right, Sister Sun?"

Perhaps it was because Mo Jiuwei gave off such a harmless vibe, or perhaps it was because her willingness to give up the spiritual herbs pleased Sun Ru, that Sun Ru was still somewhat patient with her.

Hearing this, he nodded, but his expression remained arrogant. "Fine, go ahead and look if you want. This 'Cherishing Flower Frost' is not easy to find; it will take quite some time to find the next one."

She clearly forcibly took Mo Jiuwei from her, yet now she's making sarcastic remarks right in front of her!
Even Ningning and Xiaoya couldn't take it anymore; their hands instinctively went to the sword, their faces ashen.

Only Mo Jiuwei seemed completely unconcerned as she accepted the box, opened it, looked at it, and even curiously reached out to touch it. "It looks so unique. The top layer really looks like frost."

Xihuashuang is a kind of spiritual herb that looks like a flower. Its roots and stems are plump and fleshy, and its surface is covered with a layer of white down, just like frost.

Sun Ru frowned, snatched the box away unhappily, and said, "You can look, but don't touch it. What if you break it?"

After examining it for a while and finding nothing unusual about the Frost of Cherish Flowers, he relaxed and put it away.

Then, without even glancing at Mo Jiuwei and the others, he snorted and left with his guards.

As Mo Jiuwei turned to leave the shop, she saw Sun Ru gesturing for her most skilled guard to go and touch Niao Niao, and she narrowed her eyes.

When Niao Niao saw that the male cultivator was actually releasing his own pressure to touch her, which was clearly an attempt to forcibly subdue her, she was furious.

This time, it didn't stop either. It spread its wings and flapped them hard, slamming the guard, Sun Ru, and several other people nearby against the wall. Then it opened its mouth wide and let out a sharp screech.

His face suddenly became ferocious and stern!
"Ah—hurry up, hurry!"

Sun Ru was terrified, her face paling. She was so scared that she ignored the pain in her body and ran away, lifting her skirt as she ran.

The guards followed closely behind, while the guard who had made the initial move clutched his chest, coughed up blood, and then ran away with a pale, fearful face.

"Pah! Serves them right!" Xiaoya gritted her teeth and glared at their retreating figures.

"Damn it, Niao Niao should have killed them!" Qi Qi clenched her little fists.

Mo Jiuwei withdrew her gaze, was the first to jump onto the beast-drawn carriage, and patted Niao Niao's head reassuringly, "Alright, let's go back."

Once in the car, Qiqi began to apologize.

"She was the one who was domineering first, so why should she blame you? It's just a dose of Xihua Frost. If you lose this dose, you can find other ones. It's not a big deal."

Mo Jiuwei leaned lazily against the car wall. Seeing this, Ningning adjusted her posture so that Mo Jiuwei could lie on her lap. Once Mo Jiuwei was settled, Ningning reached out and began to massage her head and shoulders. Mo Jiuwei closed her eyes comfortably and hummed softly.

"But Master..."

"Alright, if you feel bad about it, get out of the car and find out about the Sun family, like where they live, how many people are in their family, and what their strongest asset is..."

Qiqi's eyes suddenly lit up. After listening, she immediately said "Yes" loudly, and then lifted the curtain and got out of the car.

Just as the beast-drawn carriage reached the street corner, a window on the second floor facing the street suddenly opened, and a man dressed in gray clothes poked his head out.

He looked somewhat weary, propping his chin up with his hand and idly looking outside, when suddenly he saw the beast-drawn carriage.

He paused for a moment, glancing at the pale yellow beast, but before he could get a closer look, it had already disappeared around the street corner.

"...Master, that concludes the information on the twenty-six branching streams...Master?"

His subordinates called him.

The man in gray snapped out of his daze and looked away. "Understood. Same as always: reward those who deserve it, punish those who deserve it. Replace the bottom three."

"Yes!" The subordinate was startled and quickly bowed his head in response.

That night, Mo Jiuwei, accompanied by Ningning and Xiaoya, headed towards the Sun family's residence.

Mo Jiuwei was still tied to her chest, so that the person holding her could free their hands and it wouldn't affect their actions or escape.

Ningning and Xiaoya, dressed in black cloaks, walked in the shadows along the street under the cover of night.

According to what Qiqi found out, the situation of the Sun family is quite complicated.

The vice president of the business alliance is named Sun Li. He has one wife and twelve concubines. It is worth mentioning that he has very peculiar tastes.

He only liked women who still had their charm, and they had to be married women.

He has no interest in people who look like young girls, even if they are actually older.

Aside from his wife, almost all of his twelve concubines were taken from others, and more than half of them brought their sons with them when they entered the Sun family.

Then a very absurd thing happened: of the thirteen women, only Sun Ru, born to the wife, was her biological child; the other nearly twenty children were all born to the concubines and her ex-husbands.

Sun Li is quite interesting. He doesn't mind raising other people's children at all. On the contrary, he is happy to hear these people call him "Dad." He has a kind of perverted desire to conquer.

Growing up in this environment, Sun Ru's temperament was quite different from that of ordinary girls. She hated Sun Li for being fickle and for marrying her mother despite not liking her, which put her in such an awkward situation.

She hated her mother for being unwilling to leave despite suffering so many injuries, and for remaining trapped in the courtyard.

She hated those concubines for abandoning their husbands to be taken away by Sun Li and ruining the happiness of other women.

She hated her brothers and sisters who were not related to her by blood even more; their existence was nothing but endless mockery to her.

Even though everyone calls her "Young Miss," and you can tell from her name that she has a different status from others, she still hates it.
