Chapter 93: Chu Yan’s Shocking Revelation

Both Chu Yan and Chu Xin were shocked.

“How is this possible?” Chu Yan muttered. “I was just a useless E-rank spiritualist. How can I be a mid-level alchemist now?!”

“It’s fake,” she told herself. “Her badge must be fake!” But terrified, she didn’t dare to speak louder than a whisper.

“Chu Ning, could she have used this to trick Mom into supporting her?”

“It has to be that. Otherwise, why would Mom change her attitude and let Chu Ning bully me?”

“I’ll go back and talk to her. I’ll expose Chu Ning’s true nature. Then, she’ll be finished for sure.”

“Yes, Chu Ning will be finished!”

“Once Mom sees what Chu Ning is really like, she’ll believe me again. She’ll know that I’m the only one who can bring glory back to our family.”

While Chu Yan was consumed by anger, Chu Xin was filled with excitement.

“I can’t believe this!”

“It’s true Gu Ming and Qin Zheng did marry Xia Ye. My daughter is actually a mid-level medicinal pill master! And look, her spiritual potential is S-grade too!” Chu Xin’s eyes lit up with passion as she turned to Wu Hui, her voice filled with pride and excitement.

Her daughter wasn’t even ten yet. A ten-year-old mid-level medicinal pill master was as rare as a phoenix feather or a qilin horn, even across the entire Federation.

And on top of that, her spiritual potential was S-grade!

It might not be long before she became a high-level medicinal pill master!

A high-level medicinal pill master! Exactly what the Chu family desperately needed!

Seeing Chu Xin’s excitement, Wu Hui gently patted her shoulder, agreeing with her words, but inside, he felt a bit worried.

According to his observations, the young mistress had little affection for her husband or the Chu family. In fact… she even showed some revulsion towards them.

The young mistress’s exceptional talent might not benefit the Chu family at all.

Worse still, if her husband couldn’t handle the situation properly, it could bring disaster upon them.

After all, when Marshal discovered Wu Hui tracking the young mistress, he had already issued a warning.

Unaware of Chu Yan and Chu Xin’s thoughts, Chu Ning continued speaking.

“All right, now that I’ve cleared up everyone’s confusions, I’ll take a moment to run an advertisement.

“Our Pill Sect is currently recruiting medicinal pill makers with generous compensation. Any of you who are already medicinal pill masters or plan to become one can apply for part-time work at the Pill Sect if you’re interested.

“The Pill Sect has a well-established talent development program that can help you improve your mental power levels more quickly.”

The students began discussing the matter among themselves once again.

Pill Sect—that was a name virtually everyone had heard before. The company had experienced rapid growth and become very successful very quickly.

Although the number of physical stores was rather small, the online store did booming business.

In the capital especially, many people now purchased medicinal pills from their online store.

Because of their high-quality pills and excellent service, many customers became repeat buyers. Some of them had even bought pills from the Pill Sect’s online store before.

“Pill Sect. I remember the founder was named Chu Ning. It was she who developed the Jade Dew Pavilion.”

“That’s right! The patent for the Jade Dew Pavilion pill formula belongs to Chu Ning Pavilion!”

“That… woman on stage… It can’t be a coincidence, can it? Chu Ning, could she possibly be—”

At that moment, Chu Xin froze, then abruptly stood up.

No way—she had to be! Her daughter was clearly the Pill Sect Leader.

“As the Pill Sect Leader, I’d like to invite everyone here to apply for positions at the Pill Sect. Join us and grow quickly together,” Chu Ning said amidst the ongoing chatter, her final words before concluding her speech.

Ignoring the audience’s discussions, she turned to leave the stage.

“It’s her! A-Hui, she really is the Pill Sect Leader! That’s my daughter!” Chu Xin looked towards Chu Ning and was about to rush over.

But she saw Chu Ning heading off the stage, ready to depart.

“Quick, A-Hui, help me catch up to her.”

“I need to talk to her, convince her to be the successor of the Chu family!”

Wu Hui looked troubled.

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up! Go stop her!” Chu Xin urged him.

“Alright, don’t worry, mistress. I’ll go find the young mistress right away,” Wu Hui said, trying to calm Chu Xin as he quickly ran towards Chu Ning.

Wu Hui, being a beast, was fast and caught up to Chu Ning easily.

Seeing Wu Hui, Chu Ning’s expression softened.

“Miss, your mother wants to see you,” Wu Hui said under pressure.

He’d been tailing the young lady for some time, well aware of her ways.

Despite being female, the young mistress was more cunning and ruthless than many beasts.

From the creatures she’d bested at Orchid College to the mysterious deaths of Chu Lan and Lan Yu from viral infections, everything had a clear link to the young mistress.

If she’d been ordered to, Wu Hui would have gladly approached the young lady or even blocked her path.

Chu Ning frowned.

“I have no interest in seeing her,” she said.

With that, she turned to leave.

But again, Wu Hui blocked her way.

Chu Ning’s expression darkened, and a bottle of medicine suddenly appeared in her hand.

Wu Hui noticed this and quickly took two steps back.

“Miss, wait,” he said.

“Your mother doesn’t mean any harm. She just wants to see you.”

“She deeply regrets not taking care of you before. She wants to apologize and also offer to give the Chu Clan to you.”

Chu Ning glanced at Wu Hui.

“Regrets? Hmph! She saw me become an intermediate-level medicine master, with an S-level spiritual potential and strength. She’s also the home sect leader now. Of course she regrets it.”

“Tell her that any mother-daughter relationship between us ended long ago. It can’t be mended now. And I have no interest in her Chu Clan either.”

With that, Chu Ning tried to leave again.

Wu Hui hesitated for a moment but didn’t dare block her path this time.

Everyone wondered what poison Miss Congzi was holding. They didn’t dare risk getting close.

Soon, Chu Xin arrived and, upon learning Chu Ning had already left, took out her frustrations on Wu Hui.

“Mother, look at what Wu Uncle did,” Chu Yan said, arriving last and addressing Chu Xin. “This shows Chu Ning clearly doesn’t respect you.”

recalling the arrogant way she had behavon the stage. ‘And to tell such a big lie in front of everyone that she cut ties with her family. Chu Ning completely disregards the Chu family.’

Chu Xin turned, shooting a fierce glare at Chu Yan.

Her initial neglect of Xiao Ning had been entirely due to this foolish woman before her. This woman wasn’t just ignorant, but also malicious at heart.

Before Xiao Ning returned home, Chu Xin had promised to treat her as she had before. Yet this fool still targeted Xiongbi Gu.

It had caused Chu Ning’s heart to grow cold towards the Chu family, including her own mother.

In that moment, Chu Xin slapped Chu Yan across the face.

The impact was hard, sending Chu Yan stumbling and nearly falling. She covered her face, steadying herself, and looked at Chu Xin in disbelief.

“Mother, why would you hit me—” Tears immediately welled in her eyes.

This was the second time her mother had struck her, both times because of Chu Ning. The last time, her mother had apologized afterward, but this time, Chu Xin’s gaze held only hatred—so deep it seemed she wanted to slaughter her.
