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

Chapter 63: Is it even worthy of being compared to Jiuwei?

"Ouch...Mom, it hurts so much! She's a bad person! Fight the bad person for me!"

Xuan'er howled, pointing at Chen Lan and accusing Zhang Runing.

"Sister Lan, what do you mean? Xuan'er is only two years old!" Zhang Runing was heartbroken, even though she couldn't see any injury to her son with her naked eye.

"Xuan'er is a child, but Jiuwei isn't?" Chen Lan held Mo Jiuwei protectively in her arms, her eyes cold and sharp. "But what was he doing just now? Ru Ning, didn't you see it?"

“What’s wrong with him? He just wanted the fruit and got a little impatient, so he tugged at his clothes.” Chen Lan said with great dissatisfaction, squatting down to gently pat her son’s back and coax him, but he still kept wailing.

This made her feel even more heartbroken and guilty, and she kept saying sorry to Jiang Xuan.

Chen Lan did not argue with her, but simply lifted Mo Jiuwei's clothes, revealing her legs, which were already somewhat red and swollen.

A baby's skin is naturally delicate. Since Mo Jiuwei joined the Immortal Sect, although her food and clothing were not the best, she was still pampered and cared for by all the disciples. Her skin was incredibly delicate, so how could it withstand the rough pulling and pinching of a two-year-old boy?
Therefore, that little red mark seemed particularly glaring.

"This is just a slight tug on the clothes, that's all?" Chen Lan's eyes flickered, and she suddenly looked at Zhang Runing.

But Zhang Runing's gaze shifted elsewhere—

Previously, Mo Jiuwei had been held in someone's arms and covered with a thin blanket, so she couldn't see anything.

Now, Chen Lan lifted the thin blanket and rolled up her trouser legs, revealing not only the red marks but also her crippled legs.

Zhang Runing stared in astonishment, then her face flashed with disgust and mockery. "This is actually a cripple? Ha, cousin, a crippled child who can't cultivate, is he really worth your care? I think you've really lost your mind!"

She was disabled from a young age and couldn't even stand, which meant she had no way to cultivate and could see the end of her road ahead.

Chen Lan flew into a rage, "Shut up! Jiuwei isn't crippled! Watch your words!"

It's just that she can't walk. In fact, Mo Jiuwei can sit and crawl like other children, but she's not as agile.

But so what? Even if she can't walk, Jiuwei is still everyone's most beloved junior sister, and no one in the sect will despise her!
Moreover, everyone has confidence in Mo Jiuwei, believing that there might be a way to treat her in the future.

If she can solve other people's problems, then she must be even better at solving her own!
Even if there's really no way to help her, it doesn't matter; it won't affect everyone's love and care for her.

As Chen Lan spoke, she looked at Jiu Wei, pressed her face against hers, and gently stroked her back. "Jiu Wei, be good. Don't listen to her. You are the best."

"Chen Lan, I know your daughter died and that's why you're so eager to find someone to rely on, but you should at least find a healthy child. This Wei is just a cripple, what can you expect from her? You should use your time and energy to care for Xuan'er instead, he's your own nephew, how can you not distinguish between close and distant relatives!" Zhang Runing said sarcastically.

She didn't care about other people's children; all she knew was that her precious little one had cried and been pushed over.

Ironically, Chen Lan treated him this way for a cripple she had picked up. Zhang Runing really thought Chen Lan had gone mad, so she wanted to scold her to wake her up.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she shuddered.

Because she saw the look in Chen Lan's eyes when he looked over. His eyes were cold and ruthless, filled with endless ferocity, and even had murderous intent!
This woman is truly insane!

Mo Jiuwei's heart skipped a beat.

She was in pain and naturally unhappy, but seeing Chen Lan protecting her like this touched her deeply. However, she never expected Zhang Runing to mention Chen's deceased daughter. It was truly malicious of her to target the areas where Chen was in pain.

Moreover, it is often these spontaneous words that truly reflect one's inner thoughts, and are definitely not just simple slips of the tongue.

"Shut up! You're not allowed to talk like that about Senior Sister Chen and Junior Sister Jiuwei!"

Yi Xingyun and Ji Qingqing arrived together. They had just finished doing what Chen Lan had instructed them to do when they arrived and heard these words. Yi Xingyun immediately shouted out.

"Shut up! Jiuwei isn't crippled. Who do you think you are, meddling in other people's business!" Ji Qingqing gripped her sword tightly, ready to draw it at any moment.

Sword cultivators are not known for their good tempers. Ji Qingqing is gentle and kind to her fellow disciples, but she is quite different when it comes to outsiders.

I was a little more lenient because I knew Zhang Runing was related to Senior Sister Chen, but after hearing what Zhang Runing said, I knew the truth. Why should I care about this so-called kinship anymore!

“I’m Chen Lan’s cousin, her own sister!” Zhang Runing retorted defiantly, hugging her son tightly. “My son is her nephew, we are her family, and you are the outsiders!”

Ji Qingqing and Yi Xingyun both had sullen faces and were very angry, but out of consideration for Senior Sister Chen, they ultimately said nothing.

"That's enough. I don't want to lay a hand on you. You can leave now, but take your good son with you."

Chen Lan said in a cold voice.

Zhang Runing was stunned, her eyes widening in disbelief. "What did you say? I'm leaving?"

“I know what you’re up to. You just know that the Immortal Sect has overcome its difficulties, so you want to take advantage of our kinship.” Chen Lan looked at her with a hint of mockery. “The reason I haven’t exposed you is because I’m mindful of this sliver of kinship. If you had continued to act, our relationship could have been maintained to some extent. But now… you’ve ruined your act.”

She wasn't stupid. How could she not know that Zhang Runing had been subtly inquiring about the situation of the Immortal Sect since he arrived?

Moreover, Chen Lan had some impression of this cousin since childhood. She was very stingy. When she was going through a difficult time, her cousin was unwilling to come and bring her things. But now she came over, which of course had a reason.

She could tolerate everything else, but when it came to Mo Jiuwei, Chen Lan couldn't tolerate it at all.

"Please take your things."

With a bang, Chen Lan threw the "gift" Zhang Runing had brought to the ground, picked up Mo Jiuwei, turned to the side, pointed directly at the door, and said in a cold voice, "Take care, I won't see you off. You don't need to come again in the future."

Zhang Runing's face turned bright red with anger, both furious and embarrassed that Chen Lan had exposed her thoughts in public. "Chen Lan, do you know what you're doing! For such a crippled... girl, you're actually going to sever ties with me?!"

"You dare to compare yourself to Jiuwei?" Chen Lan chuckled.

Zhang Runing was furious and wanted to say something more, but Ji Qingqing and the other person didn't want to hear another word from her.

"please."

"Do we really have to see you off?"
