Night falls.
Tianheng family.
A whip struck An Xueyun hard on the back. An Xueyun groaned and gritted his teeth, but held back the tears.
There were many clan members standing around, among them the head of the Tianheng family, An Yuanlong, was also prominently among them.
An Yuanlong is An Xueyun's father, but An Xueyun is not An Yuanlong's only daughter. An Yuanlong has six sons and eight daughters, and An Xueyun is just one of them.
"Sister!" An Xueyan cried and wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by the tribe next to her.
An Xueyun and An Xueyian are siblings from the same mother. Their mother was An Yuanlong's concubine. However, in their early years, An Xueyun and An Xueyuan's mother had passed away, leaving them alone. Both of them are not taken seriously in the family.
Later, An Yuanlong wanted to marry An Xueyun to a super aristocratic family in Kyoto, and the treatment of the two sisters was slightly better.
"Xueyun, do you know that you are wrong?" An Yuanlong snorted coldly, "You actually led people from our Tianheng family to provoke the Dark Moon family. Who gave you such power?"
If An Xueyun had not already been engaged, she would be married to Kyoto soon, and An Yuanlong would have wanted to beat her to death! Thinking that An Xueyun was going to marry in Kyoto and become the young lady of a super family in the future, he could only use the family rules to punish her a little.
"My daughter has realized her mistake." An Xueyun lowered her head and said calmly. From the time she took people to find Ye Xinghe, she already knew that she would face such a punishment, but she still did it resolutely .
For the sake of her sister, she gritted her teeth and endured it. Even though she knew she would have to face the fate of marrying far away, she could only accept it because she knew that if she refused the family's arrangement, all misfortunes would befall her sister. Yes, my sister is only twelve years old this year.
"Xueyun, it's not that you are too harsh as a father. Your behavior is against the family rules! In the afternoon, the Dark Moon Family sent a letter. Do you know how much trouble this will bring to the family? I heard It is said that you have an unclear relationship with a boy named Ye Xinghe from the Qingyu family, right or wrong?" An Yuanlong asked in a deep voice.
An Xueyun's heart trembled, and he said hurriedly: "He and I are just an ordinary brother-sister relationship. He saved me before in the trial field. How can I not repay the favor of saving my life?"
"He has saved your life, don't you care about your family's kindness in raising you?" An Yuanlong snorted angrily, "What is the relationship between you and that boy? I don't want to care about it for the time being. One year After that, you will marry and go to Kyoto. During this period, you will stay in the Tianheng Family and you will not be allowed to leave even an inch!"
Hearing An Yuanlong's words, An Xueyun's heart was filled with loneliness and sadness. It was true that her family had been kind to her in raising her, but when her mother was away, she and her sister suffered all the looks and bullying until the family was ready to take care of her. After she married and moved to Kyoto, their status improved.
The family is just using them, they are just tools for marriage!
"Yes." An Xueyun lowered his head and suppressed the grief and anger in his heart.
Although she was unwilling to do so, she could only accept that fate. If she resisted, she and her sister would be doomed.
Seeing An Xueyun's appearance, An Yuanlong felt bored for no reason. He was whipped six times, which was considered a slight punishment. I understand that An Xueyun would not dare to do so in the future. He waved his hand and said, "Go back!"
Only then did An Xueyuan rush forward. She was already crying like a tearful person, hugging An Xueyun tightly. She just saw whip after whip hitting An Xueyun's body, and she felt that her heart was about to burst. .
"Xueyan, I'm fine!" An Xueyun smiled, her face was pale and her lips had no color.
"Sister, let me help you go back!" An Xueyuan choked with sobs, helped An Xueyun up, and the two sisters walked towards the inner courtyard together.
The tribesmen kept watching An Xueyun and An Xueyuan leave.
"Clan leader, isn't this good? An Xueyun will marry to Kyoto in more than a year. What if she harbors resentment towards the family..."
"Yes, if she harbors hatred towards the family, wouldn't we..."
An Yuanlong glanced into the distance and said with a sneer: "It doesn't matter. Xue Yun and Xue Yan are sisters. As long as Xue Yan is still in the family, Xue Yun will definitely grant us whatever requests we have!"
After hearing An Yuanlong's words, the clan members relaxed their brows and complimented one after another: "The master of the family is wise!"
At this time, the Qingyu family.
After finally meeting Vice President Xu, Ye Xinghe still had many unanswered questions about cultivation, so he asked Vice President Xu all the accumulated questions, and Vice President Xu patiently answered them one by one.
Under the guidance of Vice President Xu, he tested his own strength. His cultivation level should be around the fifth level, but his true strength has already reached the sixth level. If he adds the Cold Dragon Halberd, Even those at the peak of the Sixth Heaven would probably be frightened by three points when meeting him.
Ye Xinghe was sitting cross-legged and practicing as usual, but he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable irritability in his heart, making it difficult to calm down. The Dark Moon Family is aggressive and they don’t know when they will declare war on the Qingyu Family. There is another thing, and that is An Xueyun. After An Xueyun returns to the family, she will definitely be punished by the family. She is because of Ye Xinghe was extremely unwilling to accept that he was punished but could do nothing about it.
At this moment, with a whoosh, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Ye Xinghe.
The person in front of him was none other than Shangguan Xuan. Although the sky was a little dark, through the moonlight, he could vaguely see Shangguan Xuan's perfect figure and her face, which was covered by a veil but was still beautiful and charming.
"It's you..." Ye Xinghe paused.
"I can feel the irritable mood in your heart from a distance. If you practice in your current situation, you will never break through the Nine Heavens." Shangguan Xuan's voice was as cold as the moonlight, giving people a faint chill.
"Miss Shangguan, can I ask you something?" Ye Xinghe thought for a while and said.
Shangguan Xuan shook his head and said, "I know what you are thinking. I will not get involved in worldly affairs. You still have to resolve all matters by yourself."
Hearing Shangguan Xuan's words, Ye Xinghe couldn't help but feel a little silent. Indeed, Shangguan Xuan didn't owe him anything, so why should he help him
Ye Xinghe thought for a while and asked: "Miss Shangguan's cultivation has reached an unpredictable level. Can you tell me how to improve your cultivation faster?"
"It's not impossible to improve your cultivation level faster. In a few days, your cultivation level can reach the seventh level or even higher. But you have to find a girl who is willing to be with you wholeheartedly. Dual cultivation." Shangguan Xuan thought for a while and said calmly.
"Dual cultivation?" Ye Xinghe's eyes widened.
