บท 7: Chapter 7 How to Fight Back

Xie Jiuniang finished her cultivation retreat and met her maid, He Xiang.

He Xiang asked respectfully, "Miss Jiuniu, would you like to eat something?"

"No need, I've taken a Fasting Pill." This Fasting Pill was still contributed by Xie Ying, and Jiuniang thought of something, "He Xiang, has anything happened in the family while I was in retreat?"

He Xiang hesitated and asked, "Should... should it be related to you?"

Upon hearing this, Jiuniang became interested and inquired, "Related to me? What is it?"

"It's just after you began your retreat, family members frequently came to visit," He Xiang thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth, "I suspect it's because of a rumor outside."

"What rumor?" Xie Jiuniang was surprised.

"Someone said that you have a Foundation Establishment Pill you can't use..." He Xiang sympathized with Miss Jiuniu.

This time, she was trapped by rumors.

In these days of retreat, people from the family had come over a dozen times, and there had always been people outside the courtyard waiting. Once the formation is closed, someone should know she had finished her retreat.

Xie Jiuniang's eyelids twitched.

Was trouble coming?

She did not believe that the major household had no hand in this.

But...

How to counterattack?

Jiuniang indirectly brought up a few points, but the scandal of her eldest uncle keeping a concubine actually hadn't been exposed.

That's odd!

In her previous life, it had already caused a stir at this time. Could there be some unexpected changes?

"Xiaojiu!"

Xie Siniang burst in briskly.

"Fourth Sister, why have you come?" Xie Jiuniang stood up with a welcoming smile.

"I had someone watching outside your room, and as soon as I heard you were out of retreat, I hurried over. Eh?" Xie Siniang exclaimed in surprise, "Xiaojiu, you've made a breakthrough! Wow, and you've even advanced two levels! Congratulations congratulations."

"Ah, just luck, just luck."

Xie Jiuniang smiled modestly.

She asked He Xiang to prepare some tea.

With a wave of her hand, Jiuniang brought out several large boxes of vestment robes and jewelry from her Storage Ring.

No less than five big boxes!

Xie Jiuniang patted her chest with a display of wealth and said, "Come on! Fourth Sister, pick whatever you like!"

Xie Siniang was firstly taken aback, then she laughed heartily, slapping Jiuniang's shoulder and saying, "Way to go, Xiaojiu, such spirit! But where did all this come from? They look familiar..."

"Didn't Second Uncle tell you?" Xie Jiuniang was surprised.

"No, he didn't. Tell me, tell me," Xie Siniang's eyes shone eagerly, waiting for her to explain.

Xie Jiuniang roughly described the situation, naturally leaving out what shouldn't be divulged.

Xie Siniang wanted to feel indignation for her, but since their grandfather had intervened, there was no room to maneuver. She cautiously asked, "You're not upset about losing the Cleansing Spiritual Grass?"

"Not upset at all."

On the contrary, Jiuniang was in a very good mood at the moment.

She had exchanged the Cleansing Spiritual Grass for the Time Leaf and also resolved her parents' issue.

Not a bad deal, right?

As for the matter of changing her talent, she remembered a few opportunities from her memory. Once she reached the necessary cultivation base, she would go to seize... ah, to obtain them.

In her past life, those opportunities belonged to others, but in this life, they're still unclaimed.

Opportunities, after all, belong to whoever gets them first!

At this moment, Xie Siniang was attracted by the heap of treasures and began to pick excitedly, "Wow, such treasures! All of them are great. Look at this newly designed light purple vestment skirt, it's priced at three to four hundred Spirit Stones in Xianling Pavilion."

"Not bad," Xie Jiuniang peeked and took a quick look.

In her past life, she had become picky, feeling it was just passable.

Having married Lin Wangchen in her previous life, she lived a life of luxury for a hundred years with no worries about resources. Subconsciously, she didn't want to wear other people's hand-me-down clothes, a little habit of cleanliness fostered by a life of wealth, perhaps also the reason she was disgusted by Xie Ying.

"Okay, I've chosen," said Xie Siniang, who only picked a vestment skirt and a headdress.

Xie Jiuniang's youthful face showed disdain as she picked up the best and newest vestment robes and jewelry on the spot, carefully selecting a large boxful.

"Take this box, Big Sister Four, and remember to wear them when you go to see Great Aunt. Help me infuriate her to death!"

Xie Siniang felt embarrassed to take them for free and hurriedly refused, "No, no, no, these could be sold outside for a big sum of Spirit Stones."

Xie Jiuniang understood her meaning but still shook her head before responding, "A girl's clothing and jewelry shouldn't be sold outside... It wouldn't be good if they were exploited by those with ulterior motives or collected by creepy men. I may not like Xie Ying, but I detest such matters."

"Xiaojiu is right, they shouldn't be sold outside," Xie Siniang shuddered at the thought.

Xie Ying held a much higher status in the clan than the two of them. If they were to tarnish her reputation, they might not be able to escape the consequences.

"If we can't sell to outsiders, then... selling to our own family members should be fine," Xie Jiuniang had already been plotting how to take another swipe at the main house.

She packed the remaining items and was about to leave when Xie Siniang grabbed her.

Xie Siniang warned, "Xiaojiu, there are many people outside with designs on you... "

"It's nothing," Xie Jiuniang interrupted her, "As long as I don't agree, they wouldn't dare to snatch, would they?"

"They wouldn't dare," Xie Siniang agreed.

"There you go, let's go! To the Youth Martial Hall."

The two sisters happily walked out hand in hand.

The Xie Family had a history of tens of thousands of years, with numerous collateral branches, but only one direct line remained.

Whether from the direct line or a collateral branch, all Xie Family children under the age of fifteen had to attend classes at the Youth Martial Hall.

At this time, outside the Youth Martial Hall, several people's thoughts were unsettled, and even the fighting on the sparring platform had lost its appeal.

Foundation Establishment Pill, ah, who could say they didn't need it?

"Big Brother Three, aren't you going to find Xiaojiu?" A few youths huddled together and whispered beneath the platform.

Xie Haozhi glanced at his younger brother and countered, "The gun shoots the bird that sticks its head out. Do you want to be that bird?"

"But if we're too slow, Xiaojiu might not be able to hold on," Xie Fifth frowned and said.

Xie Haozhi replied nonchalantly, "No worries, Xiaojiu is shrewd."

A child suddenly in possession of a Foundation Establishment Pill without any protection is like a child holding a gold brick in a crowded market.

Everyone is watching, everyone wants it.

Simultaneously, under an osmanthus tree on the edge of the square sat a haughty young girl, surrounded like the moon by stars.

A girl in pink rushed over and said, "Second Sister, why are you still sitting here? I heard that Xiaojiu is out of seclusion."

"So she's out, what's the hurry?" the haughty girl said without any intention of getting up.

The girl in pink asked puzzledly, "Don't you want the Foundation Establishment Pill? What if someone else gets it first?"

"Hmph! I've already spread the word, anyone who dares to snatch it is opposing me," the girl snorted coldly, with an obvious backstory, "Now we just wait for Xiaojiu to succumb to the pressure and want to sell it, then we'll make an offer. The Foundation Establishment Pill won't escape."

The other girls exchanged glances.

Just a few days ago, Second Sister hadn't said this.

What happened...?

Similar conversations were happening in several places.

Meanwhile, in the main courtyard of the large household, servants were haste fully reporting to their master. The main house was enjoying a stroke of luck; Xie Ying had been taken to the clan's secret place by the old ancestor.

They were just waiting for her to make a spectacular debut!

One of the ladies, previously quite pleased, almost lost her facade of gentleness upon hearing about Xie Jiuniang.

This person was none other than Xie Ying's mother, Chen Guan.

Desperately yearning for the Foundation Establishment Pill, she had nearly fainted from anger when it was snatched away, but after learning about her daughter's forthcoming great opportunity, destined to soar to the heavens, she calmed down.

She held back her impulses and refrained from seeking out Xie Jiuniang.

Her daughter's affairs were more important than a mere Foundation Establishment Pill, and it was essential not to make any missteps at a critical time.

But to be outwitted by a younger relative she once had in the palm of her hand was intolerable, so she secretly had the matter of the Foundation Establishment Pill spread far and wide.

Chen Guan thought she could just sit back and watch the drama unfold.

Instead, the blasted girl immediately went into seclusion!

After waiting for half a month, when she reappeared, she had risen two levels?

That damned girl must have used Ying'er's elixirs!

So infuriating!


บท 8: Chapter 8 The Major Property Plan Falls Through

Many had their minds set on Xie Jiuniang and Xie Siniang the moment they appeared in the courtyard of Youth Martial Hall, attracting much attention.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xie Jiuniang found a clean corner and laid out her vestment robe and jewelry one by one.

Then, she hollered at the top of her lungs!

"Come on, goods for sale! Brothers and sisters, little bros and little sis, don't miss out as you pass by!"

"Prime vestment robes from Xianling Pavilion, exquisite jewelry from Exquisite Pavilion, all at half price! First come, first served!"

"Those with Spirit Stones, bring out your Spirit Stones, those without can exchange with Elixirs, Spirit Plants, or anything else of equal value!"

"Selling goods, a rare opportunity..."

"Hurry up! If you're too slow, even eating shit, you won't catch the hot stuff!"

Xie Jiuniang's clear and pleasant cries for selling echoed across the large square in front of the Youth Martial Hall.

"Pfft—"

Ha, ha ha!

Those cultivating have sharp eyes and ears, and Xie Jiuniang's last statement genuinely shocked many of them.

Some people gathered around jesting, "Xiaojiu, where did you strike it rich? Such a treasure trove of good stuff."

Xie Jiuniang giggled, "Heh, I have to thank my eldest sister for leaving behind things she no longer wants. You want to buy?"

"Me, a grown man, buying girls' stuff? What's that about?"

"That's where you're naive. Even if you don't have sisters at home, you can always buy them for a girl you fancy," Xie Jiuniang enthusiastically pitched.

The man chuckled, "Really half-price?"

"Genuine goods at a fair price, the old and the young won't be deceived," Xie Jiuniang's asking price was indeed reasonable.

These vestment robes were clearly not ordinary, sporting designs not found in Yunmu City. At half the price, many people were happy to buy them.

It doesn't matter if they have been worn by others.

As long as the vestment robe's functions are intact, you can wear them for a hundred or eighty years without issue. The question of newness really isn't a problem, so...

Xie Jiuniang's business was booming!

Xie Siniang quietly helped by the side, realizing for the first time that her sister had a talent for business.

By the time the members of the Chen Family's main branch hurried over after hearing the news, all they found were a few empty wooden crates.

Xie Jiuniang said with a regretful look, "If I'd known Aunt would come, I would have saved a couple of pieces."

Although Chen Shi was fuming inside, she still maintained her amiable demeanor, "Xiaojiu, if you wanted to get rid of some items, why didn't you come to your own family? You weren't afraid that your aunt wouldn't give you Spirit Stones, were you?"

"Oh my, listen to you, Auntie! Even if I believe Uncle is short on cash, I wouldn't think you are. The Chen Family runs a big business!" Xie Jiuniang's eyes twinkled as she flattered Chen Shi.

Xie Da Bo caught the tail end of this insinuating remark as he hurried over, cursing his luck inwardly.

Sure enough, Xie Jiuniang then said, "Aunt, I kept a magic artifact commonly used by my eldest sister without selling it. Do you want to buy it? I won't take advantage of you; we'll go by the market price."

"Isn't it half-price?" Chen Shi blurted out, questioning.

Xie Jiuniang smiled mischievously, "You're an elder, you surely wouldn't want to see your junior at a loss, right?"

Chen Shi: "..."

How did her straightforward third-brother and his wife end up with such a sly little niece?

Xie Jiuniang rummaged through her belongings.

She took out a Frost Sword and a Defense Jade Amulet.

Then, Xie Jiuniang said, "The Frost Sword is a top-notch magic artifact, with a market value of four thousand eight hundred. This Defense Jade Amulet is an incredible life-saving magic artifact that can withstand a full-force attack from a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. I'm not sure about the market price, so let's say ten thousand is fair. Aunt, a sincere offer of fourteen thousand eight hundred Spirit Stones."

Hearing this, the people around sucked in a breath of cold air, wanting to laugh but not daring to.

This girl really dared to ask for a price, doubling the original.

Chen Shi seethed inwardly, "Xiaojiu, these two items were birthday gifts Haoran sent to Yingying, they have different significance. Perhaps..."

Xie Jiuniang immediately jumped into drama mode, dodging the question, "My sister is so fortunate, having a big brother who often buys her gifts. Xiaojiu is so envious..."

Xie Siniang chimed in at just the right moment, "I envy her too, having never received any gifts."

"Mm-hmm, I've never received any either," Xie Jiuniang added fuel to the fire.

The clan members around them looked on with strange expressions.

It was well known within the clan that Xie Haoran sent gifts home every year, and the main branch often bragged about it. But it turned out he had only given them to his sister, never to his cousins?

Really?

In the family, that seemed incredible.

To be sure, cousins are one step removed, but they still share the same bloodline.

You can give weightier gifts to your sisters and lighter ones to your cousins; as long as you give, it signifies affection.

To give nothing at all, what does it mean?

Don't you consider your cousins part of the family?

"We'll buy! We're buying!"

Squeezing through the crowd, Xie Da Bo had a slightly stiff smile. It wasn't that his son hadn't sent gifts; he'd diverted them privately as gifts for others. But if he let the girls continue, aside from his son's reputation being tarnished, his affairs with his mistress would be impossible to conceal.

Still, Xie Da Bo didn't want to be taken for a fool, "Xiaojiu, give us a fair deal, round up the two items to ten thousand, how about that?"

"This..."

Good heavens! Straight down to four thousand eight?

Xie Jiuniang's big eyes blinked, and with a foxy smile hiding a blade, she said, "Uncle, rounding up means fifteen thousand. You buying?"

Xie Da Bo's smile froze.

A hint of threatening vibe?

Lately, this girl has been acting weirdly possessed, speaking in ways that are quite frightening.

In front of everyone, he didn't want to become a laughingstock, "Ah Guan, make the payment."

Chen Guan was not too pleased about it.

It was a needless loss of fifteen thousand Spirit Stones.

Xie Uncle, fearing any further delay would bring more disgrace to his branch, warned with a look in his eye, "Hurry up, Yingying is about to come out of seclusion, and these two items would make a perfect surprise for her..."

A sense of alarm struck Chen Guan's heart.

Yingying's reputation was at stake, and he couldn't tarnish it.

The transaction was successful.

Xie Jiuniang entered a credit of fourteen thousand eight hundred Spirit Stones.

That's right, the agreed amount was fifteen thousand, but Chen Guan had shorted her by two hundred.

After counting, Xie Jiuniang generously decided not to point it out.

Chen Guan was still thinking about the Foundation Establishment Pill, but before she could ask, she was pulled away by Xie Uncle.

After the two of them had left.

Xie Jiuniang also wanted to go back.

In front of her, suddenly a haughty young girl blocked the way.

Xie Siuniang, protective of her cub, stepped in front of Xie Jiuniang, "Second Sister, what do you want?"

"Xiaosi, step aside, I'm here for Xiaojiu," Xie Yue said, lifting her pretty little chin slightly.

Xie Siuniang crossed her arms, "What do you want with Ninth Sister? The goods are sold, there's none left!"

Just as Xie Yue was about to state her purpose, suddenly another voice intervened.

"Xie Yue, are you planning to bully Xiaojiu by picking on the weak?" Xie Haozhi stood not far away with his arms crossed, his expression a mix of amusement and mockery.

Xie Yue gave him a disdainful glance, "Third Brother, are you itching for a fight on the sparring stage?"

"Hah, let's go for it, you think I'm afraid of you." Xie Haozhi assumed an undaunted attitude.

The crowd automatically steered clear of the madcaps, except for their respective entourages.

Their status in the clan was second only to Xie Ying, and their grandfather was the blood brother of the Clan Leader. They were first cousins and loved to bicker; squabbling was a daily routine.

In her previous life, Xie Ying was hailed as a peerless genius, but before she became a cultivator with a Single Spirit Root, her talent was not even comparable to these two.

Xie Yue was born with a Water Spirit Body.

When the family discovered this, they were more alarmed than pleased and immediately imposed a gag order, only publicly claiming she had a Water-Wood Dual Spiritual Root. This was because the Water Spirit Body had a fatal flaw; it was an excellent cauldron constitution, easily targeted by Evil Cultivators.

In her previous life, up until Xie Jiuniang's death, Xie Yue had remained in the family to cultivate, protected by the family, and her Water Spirit Body had not been exposed.

Xie Haozhi had a Gold-Thunder Dual Spiritual Root and was a promising candidate for a Sword Cultivator.

In about half a year, he would be noticed by a passing Nascent Soul stage Sword Cultivator from a certain Sect and taken as a personal disciple to the Southeast Sea Region.

In her previous life, she heard that he had made a big name for himself in the Southeast Sea Region, rising to fame, but unfortunately, the Tianxu Sect was far away from the Southeast Sea Region, and Xie Jiuniang never saw him again before she died.

Seeing that the two were arguing fervently, Xie Jiuniang seized the opportunity to try and slip away with Xie Siuniang.

Just a few steps away, Xie Yue shouted, "Stop! Xiaojiu, I just want to ask one question, are you selling the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

"I want to buy it too," Xie Haozhi followed swiftly.

Xie Jiuniang stopped, "Do you really lack Foundation Establishment Pills?"

Descendants that the family cultivates in secret wouldn't possibly be short of Foundation Establishment Pills.

"Hah, who wouldn't want a surplus of Foundation Establishment Pills," laughed Xie Haozhi in response.

Xie Yue gave Xie Haozhi a sidelong glance, "My family lacks them, severely lacks them."

Suddenly, the surroundings went quiet.

Whose family didn't lack them?

It wasn't just the Xie Family; the entire Cultivation World was in the same situation.

Xie Jiuniang spread her hands, "Not selling, my family lacks them too."

"That's right, my third uncle and aunt also need them," Xie Siuniang interjected with some concern, wary of Xie Jiuniang offending others, "They will return in a few days, and those who don't believe can go ask the Clan Leader."

That remark was rather pointless.

Who among the younger generation would dare to question the Clan Leader?

But it did remind everyone that Xiaojiu was the granddaughter of the Clan Leader. It was impossible for there to be forced buying and selling, even the notable figures among the juniors, Xie Haozhi and Xie Yue, dared not apply force.

This discouraged those who were in urgent need of a Foundation Establishment Pill, leaving them with no choice but to back down.

All of a sudden, Xie Haozhi raised his hand and ruffled Xie Jiuniang's hair.

He messed up her hair completely!

Xie Jiuniang's little face turned serious, her expression saying that she was very angry and the consequences would be severe.

Xie Haozhi's smile grew even more radiant, "Jiuniang, since you say you're not selling, then take good care of it. If someone steals it, remember to let me know so I can swoop in and reap the benefits."

"That day will never come!"

Even Xie Jiuniang, slow as she may be, felt the goodwill behind Xie Haozhi's words.

Seeing the situation, Xie Yue didn't press the matter, "What a pity, Xiaojiu, if you change your mind and want to sell, don't forget about me. The price will be higher with competition."

"Sure, sure, sure."

Xie Jiuniang agreed very readily.

She was never going to sell anyway; a simple acknowledgment would cost her nothing.
