After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 122 Self-Sufficiency

Chapter 122: Chapter 122 Self-Sufficiency

If one were compelled to point out what differentiated An Siqi’s actions against Shi Yaoguang from the outcome she now faces,

It would likely be their disposition.

Shi Yaoguang was able to control public opinion when it was upturned against her.

At the same time, she could soberly and rationally identify the problem and clear her own name.

An Siqi was like a rat in the sewer, only capable of doing things behind the scenes that harmed others without benefiting herself.

In fact, this wasn’t the first time she had done such things.

Ever since she was adopted by the An Family, she had hurt her classmates and friends on several occasions.

The reason she had managed to live unscathed until now was that the people she had manipulated were too meek.

If any of them had been more twisted inside, they would have retaliated long ago, and certainly would not have let someone who had harmed them like An Siqi get off scot-free.

Being expelled from Ruihe High School was an extremely light punishment for An Siqi.

Shi Yaoguang was able to look at the whole situation rationally, but An Siqi couldn’t.

In her view, Shi Yaoguang was the culprit who had ruined her.

They were irreconcilable!

After An Siqi’s expulsion, Shi Yaoguang no longer paid her any mind.

Shi Yaoguang had previously promised Cheng Lingdang that she would teach her to cultivate immortality on the weekend. However, due to the delay caused by the live broadcast, Shi Yaoguang planned to find an opportunity to keep her promise.

When Cheng Lingdang heard that she was going to be taught to cultivate immortality, she jumped three feet high, her eyes watery as she looked at her, "Master!"

Shi Yaoguang soothed her excited emotions, and gave her a precautionary warning in advance.

"Before cultivating immortality, you need to first evolve your physique."

With that, she took out an elixir, "This will hurt a lot after you take it, can you handle it?"

Faced with Shi Yaoguang’s inquiry, Cheng Lingdang felt challenged.

"I can!" Cheng Lingdang assured her vehemently.

Shi Yaoguang patted her shoulder trustingly, her voice full of relief, "I believe you."

Cheng Lingdang felt extremely excited about soon becoming an immortal cultivator. She followed Shi Yaoguang back to Quan Mansion and took the Marrow Cleansing Pill in a room Shi Yaoguang had specially prepared.

The moment the medicinal effect kicked in, Cheng Lingdang felt as if her world had collapsed.

It hurt!

It hurt so much!

It REALLY freaking hurt!

Inundated with excruciating pain, she desperately wanted to slap herself and say,

No, I can’t do this!

Despite tears and regret, Cheng Lingdang had no choice but to endure it.

Compared to Quan Jinbei, her luck was still considered good. Shi Yaoguang had previously refined the pill, so the pain she experienced was much less intense than what Quan Jinbei had gone through.

A night passed.

When Cheng Lingdang had finished the marrow cleansing, she nearly fainted from the smell on her own body. Thankfully, Shi Yaoguang had set up a barrier in the room, so the stench didn’t spread.

After a shower, she rushed out of her room to find Shi Yaoguang, eager to share the joy of her successful marrow cleansing.

But just as she left the room, she witnessed a scene that made her cover her eyes.

Cheng Lingdang clearly saw Shi Yaoguang in a domineering position, pinning a man beneath her.

Her hand was hooking the man’s chin, her lips inching forward, the air filled with a sultry atmosphere.

"Ying~"

Cheng Lingdang, covering her eyes, couldn’t control her excitement and let out a peculiar noise.

Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei immediately noticed her, and at the same time, the two of them quickly separated.

Cheng Lingdang, clasping her face, said embarrassedly, "Actually... you don’t have to mind me. Just pretend I’m not here."

With that, she even threw a "carry on" look at them.

Shi Yaoguang: "..."

Quan Jinbei: "..."

Both glanced at each other and simultaneously said, "You’ve misunderstood."

Cheng Lingdang nodded vigorously, very cooperatively saying, "I get it, I get it!"

Seeing the knowing look she was giving them, both Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei felt that she couldn’t possibly understand.

Beyond words, they also gave up explaining any further.

As for why they had such a suggestive interaction, one would have to start from the teaching of their martial technique.

Early in the morning, Quan Jinbei suggested a friendly spar with Shi Yaoguang, and without using Spiritual Power, they went through a few moves.

Quan Jinbei got tripped by her and fell to the ground.

Then...

Shi Yaoguang’s mind was filled with desire, cough, of course, she would never admit to that.

In conclusion, it was an accident.

Cheng Lingdang very perceptively indicated her understanding.

After cracking her jokes, she finally noticed something about Quan Jinbei’s physical condition.

Quan Jinbei was at home now, no longer needing a wheelchair.

Cheng Lingdang was amazed by how effortlessly Quan Jinbei could walk.

She even discreetly asked Shi Yaoguang, "Master, didn’t you say your wife was disabled in her legs? How come..."

Listening to her address him, Shi Yaoguang’s mouth twitched, "You’ve adapted to your role quite quickly."

"That’s a must,"

Cheng Lingdang naturally responded, "After all, I am a disciple with lineage now!"

Shi Yaoguang: "As long as you’re happy."

Cheng Lingdang chuckled slyly, displaying a complicit expression, and said with a tone full of suggestiveness, "Who would have thought, Master, you’re so capable, you even conquered the famously unattainable beauty..."

Shi Yaoguang: "???"

Shi Yaoguang, completely taken aback by her unexpected comment, showed a beautifully fractured expression.

What kind of gem of a disciple had she taken in?

Cheng Lingdang didn’t think there was anything wrong with her gossip, rubbing her hands and sneakily saying, "I was worried before that Madame was weak and might not have the stamina when, you know, the time came, but now it seems I was overthinking. Even if Madame can’t, Master can still take care of himself. I was really overthinking."

Shi Yaoguang didn’t want to hear her talk about such an indelicate topic anymore and swiftly gave her a smack on the head, "Less of that nonsense."

After that, not giving Cheng Lingdang another chance to speak, she immediately taught her how to absorb Spiritual Power.

Cheng Lingdang, super excited, struggled all morning, not to say about cultivating and drawing Qi into her body.

Even sensing the Spiritual Power was achieved with great effort.

Struggling with her slow progress, she couldn’t help but complain to Shi Yaoguang.

Quan Jinbei went upstairs just in time to see Cheng Lingdang’s scene of coquettishly hugging Shi Yaoguang.

For some reason, just being glanced at by him made Cheng Lingdang feel a bit guilty.

The hand that was hugging Shi Yaoguang also quietly let go.

She sneakily peeked at Quan Jinbei, peeked again, and couldn’t help but let out an internal groundhog squeal.

Oh my gosh~ Madame is so beautiful!

At the same time, she couldn’t help but think, only someone like him could be worthy of Master, right?

Compared to Quan Sicheng, who had been caught cheating, and Third Master, the latter was reduced to nothing.

In her mind, Cheng Lingdang weighed them and was inclined towards Quan Jinbei.

Little did Third Master Quan know her inner thoughts.

He stood opposite Shi Yaoguang very naturally, asking casually, "How is Miss Cheng’s cultivation going?"

Shi Yaoguang reported honestly.

Quan Jinbei hummed in response, then looking at Cheng Lingdang with a meaningful expression, he remarked, "Cultivation is indeed not easy..."
