How to capture the evil villain? I choose to be his mother!

Chapter 514 The Useless Female Supporting Character's Sword Master Mother (17 pages)
For many years afterward, Mingmiao's most beautiful fantasies about men came from Qi Sheng.

He was gentle and refined, always very considerate of her, and always took care of her little thoughts, like an all-encompassing and tolerant older brother.

Most importantly, when they first met, she wasn't some city lord's daughter; she was just an ordinary, lost little girl whom he found by chance.

Therefore, Mingmiao has always stubbornly believed that their meeting was pure and untainted by any family ties.

Later, however, her true identity was discovered. Qi Sheng looked at her and said only one sentence—

'Miaomiao, I'm so disappointed in you.'

He turned and left, leaving behind a heart full of guilt.

Later, Mingmiao heard that he and Lu Zhuangzhuang were getting very close, and she felt particularly upset.

But she kept telling herself that Lu Zhuangzhuang was so wonderful that she deserved to be close to someone like Qi Sheng.

A young girl's heart was shattered into pieces.

Mingmiao thought she would never have any contact with Qi Sheng again in this lifetime.

She never expected to see Qi Sheng in such a sorry state, having lost his once-proud face.

Qi Sheng was still speaking, his attitude as gentle as when he treated Ming Miao back then:

“Miaomiao, Xiaoming is young and childish. I didn’t know he would throw you into the arena and fail to rescue you from such a dangerous place immediately. I want to express my sincerest apologies to you and hope you can forgive me. As for the scars on my face, you don’t need to worry about them. This is the punishment I deserve for my mistake. Let’s leave it at that. I also need to reflect on how I treated you in the past. I’m really sorry, Miaomiao.”

The other members of the Qi family were panicked and condemned Qi Sheng's words.

Putting everything else aside, how can this face, which the Qi family is so proud of, be ruined like this?

It is known that cultivation can transform mortals, and the higher the cultivation level, the more handsome they become.

Therefore, the rulers of the Five Continents mostly prefer people who are good-looking.

In a sense, appearance can even be an indicator of talent!
Generally speaking, the better-looking someone is, the more talented they tend to be.

Therefore, Qi Sheng is one of the most handsome members of the Qi family, and his talent is also outstanding!

This is the pride of the Qi family!
They were all disappointed in Qi Sheng, thinking he had gone mad.

Qi Sheng shook his head with a wry smile, insisting that he was unwilling to recover.

The two sides started arguing.

To be precise, it was Qi Sheng who was unilaterally accused.

Even his own mother expressed her incomprehension.

Only Qi Yuanshan's eyes flickered, but he remained silent.

At this moment, Mingmiao called out:

"Brother Qi Sheng".

His tone was full of reminiscence.

Qi Sheng was somewhat moved and replied:
"Yes, Miaomiao, I'm here."

When Mingmiao was little, she loved to sneak away and pretend to accidentally scare Qi Sheng.

However, Qi Sheng was already a cultivator. Although his body grew very slowly with his cultivation level, his mind was almost a hundred years older than Ming Miao's.

Therefore, he had already discovered Mingmiao's hiding place, but secretly pretended not to know, and then after she jumped out, he turned around and answered with "I'm here".

Everything seems to have returned to its most beautiful time.

However, even Zhu Wen didn't expect that Ming Miao's next sentence would be:
"...Stop acting."

Qi Sheng's face was filled with a deep sense of longing and melancholy that seemed about to burst open!

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

He emphasized his tone.

Mingmiao raised one corner of her mouth in a mocking smile:
"Qi Sheng, do you know? After I met someone who was genuinely good to me, I realized that all the kindness you showed me was fake, and I could see through it at a glance. Even our first meeting, you had someone deliberately lure away my maid, and then pretended to come out to rescue me, right? Actually, you were disgusted by the candied hawthorns smeared on my face, and after wiping my face with a handkerchief, you turned around and threw the handkerchief away, and then washed your hands many times with a cleaning spell... You were just pretending to be gentle in front of me, and I know all of this. It's just that I was foolish back then, thinking that nothing else mattered because my brother was good to me, so I kept ignoring these things. Actually, I knew a long time ago that you didn't truly like me."

Almost no one knows that although Mingmiao is a mortal, her memory is comparable to that of a cultivator... no, it should be said that her memory is better than that of the vast majority of cultivators!

She still vividly remembers her first encounter with Qi Sheng when she was a child, and she has become increasingly clear about the loopholes in those false good intentions.

Therefore, once she knew everything, she would realize how clumsy and ridiculous Qi Sheng's acting was when she watched his performance.

Why should I punish myself properly?

What do you regret about this?
He had no such intention at all!
Qi Sheng cared more about his appearance than anyone else!

He was just trying to back down in order to make Mingmiao feel sorry for him, and then ask Zhuwen for help!

Mingmiao laughed, glancing at Qi Sheng's increasingly grim expression, then at Qi Ming beside her:
"You surely know that I wasn't moved by Qi Ming's apology at all, and I certainly wouldn't speak up for him or ask for help. That's why you came up with this alternative approach, right?"

Qi Sheng stubbornly refused to admit it.

Mingmiao didn't care whether he admitted it or not; that's what she thought anyway.

So she said, word by word:
"Then I'll repeat myself—I, Mingmiao, will never forgive you in this lifetime!"

She finished speaking in her excitement, only to realize that Zhu Wen hadn't said anything yet.

She turned around somewhat flustered to look at Zhu Wen... but only saw Zhu Wen smiling, his eyes full of praise and encouragement for her.

So, Sister Zhu didn't blame her for her behavior, right?

Mingmiao breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that as long as she had Zhu Wen's approval, nothing else mattered.

Qi Yuanshan slowly stood up and asked Zhu Wen:
What is your opinion, sir?

Zhu Wen shrugged:

"Of course we respect the child's opinion."

Qi Yuanshan sighed:
"It seems the negotiations have broken down... Heh, I thought we could resolve this in a simpler way, but it seems that won't work. Your Excellency, the Nascent Soul stage is not the same as ascending to immortality, and my Qi family is not to be trifled with! Men! Set up the formation!"

Rumble!
The entire inn was shaking!

A powerful magical array shone from outside the window, illuminating almost half of the city's sky!
Countless people in the city were awakened, and guests in the inn fled in panic.

Because anyone with even a slightly keen sense of perception could detect the murderous aura emanating from this massive magic array.

Shopkeeper Wang was so frightened that he nearly jumped out of his skin and hurriedly shouted:
"Please don't hit them! Please, please don't hit them!"

Zhu Wen and Qi Yuanshan, who were present, were both at the Nascent Soul stage.

Who would care about a Nascent Soul cultivator's cries and pleas?

Oh no.

I hope you understand.

She stood up lazily:

"Don't worry, innkeeper, your inn won't go bankrupt."
