After a master of metaphysics severed ties with his family, the whole family was filled with regret!

Chapter 144 Luo Chentian Severs Ties

"Wan'er, why bother arguing with him? There's no one in the courtyard right now. If we take care of him, you'll be in charge of the Luo family from now on."

Wu Xing said coldly, then looked at Jiang Wan expectantly. He would kill Luo Wanping immediately if she gave the order.

"You want to kill me? I am an official appointed by the imperial court! Even if you kill me, you won't escape!" Luo Wanping looked at him in disbelief and said.

"So what if you're an official of the imperial court? If we kill you, no one will know it was us."

Luo Wanping took several steps back, trying to escape, but Wu Xing grabbed his collar, preventing him from running away.

"Blame it on you for coming back at this time, Wu Xing, make your move."

Lady Luo turned her back, refusing to watch Wu Xing kill Luo Wanping. After all, they were husband and wife, and she would still give him the respect he deserved.

"Help! Someone help me!"

"Shut up and prepare to die!"

"boom--"

The door was kicked open by Luo Chujiu, and behind her were Xiao Jinglin and Xiao Beiming.

"Oh, how lively! Lord Luo, have you encountered some trouble?"

Luo Chujiu looked at everyone in the room with amusement.

At this moment, everyone in the room was dumbfounded. Wu Xing was the first to react and led Luo Jiang Shi to escape towards the window.

However, Luo Chujiu had already had the house surrounded, so Wu Xing and Luo Jiangshi had no chance of escape.

When Luo Wanping saw Luo Chujiu appear, it was as if he had seen a savior!
"Xiao Jiu, did you come to save your father? Father knows he was wrong. It was all your mother and that adulterer's doing. That's why Father mistakenly thought you were a jinx and sent you away. Father was wrong, please forgive Father."

Luo Wanping pitifully explained to Luo Chujiu that he had been deceived and hoped to gain Luo Chujiu's forgiveness.

Luo Chujiu ignored Luo Wanping and instead looked at Wu Xing and Luo Jiangshi, who had been captured.

"Actually, I've known about your affair for a long time. Today, I deliberately led Luo Wanping to catch you in the act. You two have done so many bad things, you deserve your retribution."

Luo Chujiu readily admitted that she was the one who did it all, which made Wu Xing and Jiang Wan furious.

"You bastard, I should have strangled you back then! So you wouldn't be opposing me now!"

"Really? That's a real shame, because you'll never have that opportunity again."

Luo Chujiu was already immune to Jiang Wan's vicious remarks, so her words had no effect on her at all. Luo Chujiu even had the mood to joke with her.

Wu Xing and Jiang Wan have been captured, and Luo Wanping is about to divorce Jiang Wan!
Xiao Jinglin and Xiao Beiming got to watch a good show for free and learned the truth about why Luo Chujiu was considered a jinx. They couldn't help but feel sorry for Luo Chujiu's ordeal.

If Nalan Qingyin hadn't taken Luo Chujiu to Xuanfeng Mountain to raise her into adulthood, there probably wouldn't be a person like Luo Chujiu now.

Wu Xing and Jiang Wan knelt in the courtyard, awaiting their fate.

"Your Majesty, I must divorce this harlot and drown her in a pig cage!"

"This is your family matter, my dear minister, and I will not get involved. I am merely accompanying Prince Xiao and the Grand Preceptor out of the palace to watch the excitement. Now that the Grand Preceptor's reputation has been cleared, how to deal with these adulterers is entirely up to you, my dear minister. I should return to the palace."

After saying that, Xiao Jinglin waved and left.

Xiao Beiming walked up to Luo Chujiu and took her hand:
"Xiao Jiu, let's go back too."

Luo Chujiu nodded, then turned around. "Xiao Jiu—wait a minute—"

"Is there anything else, Lord Luo?"

Luo Chujiu turned around, looked at Luo Wanping, and asked.

"Xiao Jiu, can you forgive your father? Your father has been deceived all along, which is why he misunderstood you. Your father was wrong. Come home, and your father will definitely treat you well."

“Lord Luo, I have long severed ties with the Luo family. Please do not say such things again. From now on, please address me as the Imperial Advisor. Our father-daughter relationship has come to an end.”

After saying that, Luo Chujiu left gracefully, regardless of Luo Wanping's expression.

As for Wu Xing and Jiang Wan, Luo Chujiu only heard a few days later that the matriarch of the Luo family had suddenly fallen ill and passed away, and even the funeral arrangements were only handled hastily.

In fact, that very night, Jiang Wan and Wu Xing were buried alive on a hilltop by Luo Wanping, leaving no tombstone or grave mound. From that day on, Jiang Wan and Wu Xing ceased to exist.

After Luo Chujiu officially took office, he took over all the responsibilities from Nalan Qingyin and became the youngest national teacher in the history of Nanzhao Kingdom.

As for Nalan Qingyin, after Luo Chujiu took office, she completely left the court, packed her things, and prepared to return to Xuanfeng Mountain to devote herself to cultivation.

Luo Chujiu bid farewell to Nalan Qingyin with reluctance, promising to return to Xuanfeng Mountain next year to visit her fourth senior brother and grandmaster, and asking Nalan Qingyin to wait for her.

Nalan Qingyin affectionately ruffled Luo Chujiu's hair, then admonished Xiao Beiming:

"Fifth Junior Brother, treat Junior Sister well, understand?"

"Fourth Senior Brother, please rest assured, I will take good care of Xiao Jiu and will not let her suffer any injustice."

Upon hearing this, Nalan Qingyin nodded and then left without looking back.

Not long after, another major event occurred in the Luo family.

Luo Chentian was credited with controlling the floods. After returning to the court, he asked for a favor, allowing him to completely break away from the Luo family and establish his own independent residence, while also severing all ties with the Luo family.

Xiao Jinglin agreed and even bestowed upon him a house.

Luo Wanping was completely incredulous at Luo Chentian's actions!
"Why do you want to sever ties with me? I believe I have treated you well!" Luo Wanping questioned.

"He treated me well? My father ignored my mother and me from a young age. When my mother died under mysterious circumstances, my father didn't react at all. Is this what you call treating me well?!"

"You...you've been harboring resentment towards me all this time...If you leave the Luo family, who will protect you then?"

“I don’t need anyone’s protection. My achievements today are all due to my own efforts, and have nothing to do with you, Luo Wanping.”

"You...you...how could you say that! Wasn't your success in passing the imperial examination thanks to the Luo family's careful cultivation?"

"Cultivated with care? The textbooks I read when I was a child were all bought for me by my aunt selling her gold and silver jewelry. What does that have to do with the Luo family? If you insist that the Luo family has been kind to me, then that's true, since I eat and drink at the Luo family's place. Within a year, I will return all the money I spent at the Luo family's place to you, and after that, I will have nothing to do with the Luo family anymore! You'd better watch yourself!"

After saying that, Luo Chentian turned and left.

Thus, the divination that Luo Chujiu had given to Luo Wanping, predicting that he would have no children, was completely fulfilled.

After learning that Luo Chentian and Luo Wanping had severed ties, Luo Chujiu specially sent a congratulatory gift.

It should be ending soon, so get ready.
