Chapter 30: Completely Different Life Paths
After Ying Li reviewed what Ying Tong had given her, her eyes lit up, and excitement was evident on her face.
“Thank you for your generous gift, Venerable Yunhuang. I will surely live up to your expectations.”
At that moment, Ying Li secretly vowed to herself that she would become the best chef in the world because Venerable Yunhuang was the most powerful cultivator, and only by doing so would she qualify to stay by her side.
Ying Tong was unaware of Ying Li’s thoughts and casually encouraged her, saying, “Keep going and do what you want to do. I believe you can succeed.”
Her belief was that as long as Ying Li didn’t become a tyrant, she could do anything.
“Hmm.” Ying Li nodded earnestly.
After Ying Li left, satisfied, Ye Ying curiously asked, “What did you just give her that made her so excited?”
“Oh, it was nothing much, just those things we found in the ruins and a cookbook,” Ying Tong replied honestly.
Since Ying Li had a talent for cooking and her constitution was so special, those items could bring out their maximum potential in her hands.
After listening, Ye Ying thought for a moment and found it made sense.
Although Huang Zhongyi’s items were good, they were all prepared for cooking. While the tools were certainly not ordinary, their attack power was limited. If they stayed in Ying Tong’s hands, they would just gather dust in storage.
It was better to hand them over to someone more suited to use them.
……
Boom!!
Ying Ming stared at the flying ship before him, utterly stunned.
This could no longer be called a flying ship; it was a moving palace.
Were they really going to leave on this?
After the shock wore off, excitement flashed in Ying Ming’s eyes.
Prime Minister Ying looked up at the massive object above them and instructed Ying Ming, “Once you arrive at the main family residence, make sure to practice diligently. Do not become complacent, and definitely do not act recklessly and cause trouble.”
In response, Ying Ming respectfully replied, “I understand, Father. You can rest assured.”
At that moment, a red figure suddenly dashed out from the side and knelt directly before the father and son.
“Father, Ruo’er was wrong. I really know my mistake. Please let me come home. I shouldn’t have been willful, and I shouldn’t have been ungrateful. I promise I will listen to you in the future. Please let me come home!”
Hearing the familiar crying voice, both father and son looked closely, and they realized it was Wang Ruo, the person they had driven away.
At this time, Wang Ruo was still wearing the wedding dress from her wedding day, but it had become tattered and was stained with unknown substances. Her hair was a mess, and the hair accessories she had were gone, likely either lost or taken from her.
The latter possibility seemed more likely.
Having long seen Wang Ruo’s true nature, the father and son were not about to show any compassion.
“Steward, take her away,” Ying Ming coldly ordered. “From now on, make sure the threshold is stricter. Our Prime Minister’s residence is not a place for just anyone to enter.”
Such good days were truly cursed.
As soon as he finished speaking, two guards stepped forward and, disregarding Wang Ruo’s struggles, dragged her away.
“I won’t leave! Let go of me! You bunch of bastards! I am Ying Ruo, the daughter of the Prime Minister’s residence! How dare you treat me like this? I will kill you! Father, even if you are angry, I have called you ‘Father’ for over ten years! I just made the wrong choice. Why won’t you give me a chance to change?”
At that moment, Wang Ruo truly regretted her actions. Without any cultivation and without the support of the Prime Minister’s residence, her life had become extremely difficult.
Li Fan quickly revealed his true nature after not receiving any support from her. What was even more terrifying was that those she had once mocked and looked down upon came knocking at her door, eager to take advantage of her downfall.
Had she known this would happen, she would never have chosen to confront Prime Minister Ying before her wings were fully developed.
In the end, it all came down to her inability to see her true position, betting her standing in Prime Minister Ying’s eyes and ending up in such a passive state.
However, once the arrow was released, it could not be recalled; there was no medicine for regret in this world.
Wang Ruo was carried away by the guards, while Ying Ming headed towards the flying ship.
The fates of the two once-close siblings had diverged completely, which was a poignant realization.
…
At this moment, on the flying ship, Ying Tong turned to the recently awakened Ying Xuan and said, “They are far more decisive than you.”
Ying Xuan, who had just regained consciousness, wore a calm expression. The confusion and despondency that had been in his eyes earlier had vanished, replaced by an unwavering determination.
“Venerable Yunhuang.”
A hint of regret flashed across Ying Xuan’s face, but he didn’t dare to take his anger out on Ying Tong; he could only express his dissatisfaction in this way.
Though they were of similar ages, Ying Tong’s status was undeniably higher than that of Ying Xuan.
However, it was understandable why the Venerable Yunhuang would say this. Now that Ying Xuan had come to his senses, he found himself wishing he could go back and slap himself for the foolish things he had done, hoping to knock the water out of his head.
Once Ying Ming and the others boarded, the flying ship slowly began to take off.
“Venerable, after we return, could you allow me to handle Zhangsun Ya and the others myself?” Ying Xuan asked.
Although Ying Xuan had awakened after consuming the Golden Spirit Fruit, the effects of Zhangsun Ya’s actions still lingered.
Therefore, he had to resolve this cause and effect himself; otherwise, it would affect his future path of cultivation.
“Okay.”
…
On the other side, Ying Li and Ying Xin were witnessing such a grand scene for the first time.
Ying Xin was relatively fine; after all, he had always been a favored son of heaven. If not for the unexpected events, he would have been on his way to the main family residence by now.
As for Ying Li, having been personally abandoned by her father, she still retained some childhood memories, although they were very fragmented and vague.
After spending time living in the Prime Minister’s residence, the once-blurry memories in her mind became clearer again.
Upon reaching the deck, Ying Li looked down below.
Coincidentally, the flying ship was currently passing over Jinghai City.
From Ying Li’s vantage point, she could see the entire Jinghai City spread out before her.
…
At the same time, the Ying family in Jinghai City had experienced a series of upheavals, causing Ying Li to plummet from heaven to hell overnight.
Especially after her mother and brother learned about her identity, realizing that it was because of her that they could not go to the main family for cultivation, they immediately changed their demeanor.
The love they once showed her had vanished, replaced by endless resentment.
Ying Li couldn’t understand why people could change so suddenly.
Even if she was not their biological sister or daughter, after so many years together, did they truly have no feelings at all? How could these people be so heartless?
Suddenly, Ying Li seemed to sense something. She looked up at the sky, but saw nothing at all.
