"Hmph, who are you and what bring you to my Xianlai Sect?" Although Chen Lan knew the woman's purpose, he still asked in a cold voice without giving her a good look.
"I'm Xiaoruo's aunt!" The woman wiped her tears. "We've been apart for a year. I didn't expect to see this child again. She has grown up so much and is still so pretty and cute. Xiaoruo, come to your aunt quickly and let me take a good look at you."
She stretched out her hand and looked at Mo Jiuwei encouragingly.
Mo Jiuwei didn't even look at her, which made the woman's expression gradually become awkward.
Mo Jiuwei was looking down and playing with her fingers.
[It sounds so real, but it's a pity that the acting is still a bit poor. ]
Acting? Liu Feng's heart moved, and he asked:
"You said she was Jiu Wei's aunt, do you have any evidence?"
"Yes, the child was born on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month last year. My sister and I placed her in front of your mountain gate. She was wrapped in swaddling clothes at the time," said the woman.
"Oh? What color is the swaddling clothes? Patterned or blue?" Liu Feng continued to ask.
"Is this... a pattern?" The woman pinched the corner of her clothes and seemed to be lost in thought. "It's been a while. I can't remember clearly at that time... now."
"It's only been a year, and you can't remember it?" Du Yue sneered, "It seems that you don't have a deep impression of this niece at all."
"No, that swaddling cloth was just something we picked up randomly, and I really don't remember it clearly." The woman said anxiously, "But she is indeed my sister's daughter!"
"What about your sister?"
"She died. Not long after giving birth to Xiaoruo, she died along with her father." The woman started to cry. "The reason we left Xiaoruo behind was because life was really tough at the time, and our enemies were chasing us. If Xiaoruo had followed us, her life would have been in danger! So we had no choice but to do this!"
[Tsk, where did Liuxian Sect find this person? There are so many loopholes. ]
[Uncle Liu and the others didn't really believe her words, did they? ]
Mo Jiuwei couldn't bear to watch it.
What? Sent by the Liuxian Sect?!
They hadn't heard this name for a long time. For a long time before, everyone was busy following Mo Jiuwei to search for treasures. They no longer focused on the small piece of land in front of them like before.
Therefore, everyone still hates and despises the Liuxian Sect, but they will not always hold this hatred in their hearts.
Unexpectedly, before they planned to attack Liuxian Sect, the other party couldn't help themselves and came up with such a trick!
It seems that the matter of the breakthrough pill made them restless, so they wanted to use the matter of recognizing relatives to get into the inner circle and gain some benefits.
"So, you are the only relative of our Jiuwei?"
"Yes, I am her closest relative!"
"In that case, then you pay the money." Liu Feng suddenly said, "Pay 100,000 crystal stones and you can take the person away."
Mo Jiuwei blinked and looked at Liu Feng. Liu Feng was looking at the woman, but Mo Jiuwei saw Liu Feng shaking the fingers at his side at her.
[Hehe, Uncle Liu is really bad. ]
[One hundred thousand crystal stones, this must scare her to death! ]
Indeed, the woman had not expected this at all. She was so frightened that she shuddered. "One hundred thousand??! Why would you pay one hundred thousand? Are you crazy about money?"
She had prepared many answers to questions in advance and was not afraid of being asked questions. Anyway, the people in the Xianlai Sect didn't know who the child's real parents were, so there was no way to verify it.
It is said that the people of Xianlai Sect are very fond of this cheap girl they picked up, and if someone comes to their door, they will definitely not be willing to hand her over.
I took this opportunity to suggest staying for a few days so that I can develop a relationship with this girl.
Once I live in the Xianlai Sect, I can take the opportunity to test their strength and find out where this breakthrough pill came from.
But who knew that the people from Xianlai Sect would be so unexpected. After just asking a few random questions, they asked for money, one hundred thousand at that!
How could she afford 100,000 yuan?
"Of course it's 100,000 yuan. If it weren't for us, your niece would have died of starvation and freezing last December. How could you see her now? We not only saved her life, but also raised her for more than a year. You can't imagine the effort and energy we put into it. We're asking for less than 100,000 yuan."
Mu Xue put her hands on her chest, raised her chin slightly and looked at the woman.
"You, you are asking for too much!" The woman's face changed with anger. "Let alone one child, even ten or a hundred children are not worth so much money!"
Although they had long known from Mo Jiuwei that this woman was fake, everyone still laughed in anger when they heard her words——
Jiu Wei was right. This woman's acting skills were too poor. How did Liuxian Sect find this person?
She even claimed to be her only relative, but her tone and attitude did not show any affection or attachment.
"If you don't want to pay, then get out." Hu Jiu waved his sleeves, his eyes showing disgust, "Get out as far as you can. If you dare to come to our house to claim your relationship again, we will break your legs!"
"That's right!" Ji Qingqing drew his sword coldly, "Do you want to get out? If not, I'll send you out."
"You guys, you wait!"
The woman was obviously a little scared, but she still said something stubbornly and then ran away.
"Jiuwei, don't take our words to heart. We knew she was a fake, so we drove her away on purpose." Liu Feng turned to Mo Jiuwei and explained to her, "You are the most important relative to us. No one can buy you, let alone 100,000, even if it's 1 million or 10 million."
"Yes, that woman is not your aunt. We just said that to provoke her." Chen Lan also touched her head.
Although they knew Jiuwei was very smart and must have seen through it all a long time ago, they still wanted to explain it to her so as not to hurt her heart.
Mo Jiuwei smiled sweetly and nodded, "I know, she is fake, you are Jiuwei's closest people!"
Everyone smiled now.
"In your opinion, what is the origin of this person?" Meng Ling asked deliberately.
Everyone hesitated for a moment, and Liu Feng said, "I think... it's possible that they are from the Liuxian Sect. They have always been at odds with us, and now they have probably heard about the Breakthrough Pill and can't sit still anymore, so they sent someone over to investigate."
Mo Jiuwei looked over in surprise——
[Wow, Uncle Liu is so amazing, he can even guess this correctly! ]
[I was planning to remind them, but now it seems I can save myself the trouble.]
Liu Feng suppressed his laughter and tried hard to remain calm.
"Well, yes, I also think they are suspicious." Chen Lan turned her head away.
"The Liuxian Sect is really going too far! They can even come up with such a despicable idea!" Du Yue's anger was real, "Are we just going to let them do whatever they want?"
