1424 Cheng Xin’er’s Thoughts (2)
“There’s still a month left. Stay in your courtyard obediently. If you need anything, ask the maid to do it.”
After saying that, City Lord Cheng sent Cheng Su’er away.
Cheng Su’er suppressed the strong unwillingness and hatred in her heart, bowed, and left in a hurry.
Seeing Cheng Su’er leave in a sorry state, Cheng Xin’er snorted proudly.
City Lord Cheng saw her reaction and his expression immediately became stiff. “And you, you only know how to fool around outside all day. Go into seclusion and reflect on your mistakes for a month!”
Cheng Xin’er, who hadn’t completely restrained the smugness on her face, was immediately shocked when she heard that. “I’m not fooling around. What I said is clearly the truth. I’m not convinced!”
“In that case, do you think a month is too little?” City Lord Cheng’s face darkened and there was a warning in his eyes.
“Xin’er.”
Before Cheng Xin’er spoke, the wife of the City Lord quickly walked towards her and grabbed her hand. “Your father is doing this for your own good. Although you’re telling the truth, you can’t say it in front of outsiders, or our Cheng family will become a joke.”
What the City Lord’s wife said made City Lord Cheng look at her meaningfully, but he didn’t say anything.
Without waiting for Cheng Xin’er to speak, the wife of the City Lord turned to City Lord Cheng and said, “Don’t worry, Husband. I’ll personally take Xin’er to reflect on her mistakes.”
After saying that, she bowed and left the hall with her daughter, leaving City Lord Cheng alone.
“Mother, Cheng Su’er is the one making a fool of herself, not me. Father punished me, but you didn’t help me!” On the way back to the courtyard, Cheng Xin’er puffed up her face and said indignantly.
The City Lord’s wife sighed slightly and raised her hand to stroke her daughter’s messy hair. “It’s not like you don’t know what your father is like. If you go against him, you’ll be the one at a disadvantage in the end. It’s been so many years. Haven’t you understood?”
Hearing that, Cheng Xin’er felt even more frustrated. “Father is just too dominating and domineering.”
The City Lord’s wife shook her head helplessly. “You’re still so outspoken. Be careful that your words might spread to your father’s ears, and he’ll increase your punishment.”
Cheng Xin’er subconsciously looked around and didn’t see anyone suspicious. Only then did she relax a little.
The City Lord’s wife saw her reaction and poked her head in amusement. “You should know your place too. Don’t run around anymore.”
Her daughter was good at everything, but she liked to cause trouble too much. She couldn’t be stopped no matter what.
“No, Mother!”
Cheng Xin’er suddenly took the initiative to hug her mother’s arm and said with a wheedling tone, “You know, I’m most afraid of being bored. Apart from cultivating at home, I only cultivate at home. I’m very bored. Besides, it was useless to stay at home and cultivate. As a cultivator, one had to experience hardships before he could truly grow. Otherwise, I’ll become a frog at the bottom of the well. Mother, you don’t want me to become a frog at the bottom of the well, right?”
Cheng Xin’er looked at her mother with a pitiful and pleading gaze.
Seeing that her daughter was wheedling and pretending to be pitiful again, the City Lord’s wife shook her head helplessly. “Training is good, but you must really be training when you go out.”
“Of course I’m really training. I can even defeat a spiritual beast at the fifth level of Qi practicing now,” Cheng Xin’er said proudly.
When cultivators and spirit beasts had the same cultivation level, spirit beasts were usually superior.
So, it was already impressive that Cheng Xin’er could defeat a spiritual beast at the fifth level of Qi practice with her cultivation level that had just broken through to the sixth level of Qi practice.
