Pei Tan looked in the direction of the voice, half-squinted his eyes and stared at Pei Yun's indifferent face for a moment, and questioned with a look of contempt: "How can a concubine's daughter with low spiritual roots like you hurt Mo'er?" Pei Mo was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, the highest level of cultivation in the Pei family except for him.

"You can try and see if you can hurt her." Pei Yun saw that Pei Tan was only in the initial stage of foundation building, the same level of cultivation as her, but her spiritual awareness, inner skills cultivated, and magic secrets were far superior to his, so she was more than capable of dealing with him, and it would only take ten moves.

Pei Tan's eyes were sharp, releasing pressure towards her, and everyone else present gasped because of her words. Then someone from the main branch of the Pei family sneered, secretly laughing at the concubine's daughter's boasting.

"Grandfather, it was Pei Yun who hurt my father. Grandfather, you must seek justice for my father." Pei Ruo glanced at Pei Yun angrily, then knelt in front of Pei Tan to complain. Her delicate appearance made people feel pity for her.

"What? She really hurt the master!"

"When did a concubine's daughter become so powerful..."

The people around were talking in low voices, and the people in the big room all looked ugly.

"Dad...you, you must quickly catch this bitch, catch her..." Pei Mo had been carried aside to take healing medicine. This time he had lost both face and dignity.

"Shut up." Pei Tan scolded in a low voice, then looked at Pei Yun carefully. The pressure he had exerted on Pei Yun just now did not work at all. Seeing the calm look on the face of this concubine's daughter, his heart skipped a beat. Only then did he realize that Pei Yun's cultivation level was actually the same as his, at the initial stage of foundation building.

How is it possible! She was only a lower-grade yellow-level spiritual root. How could she have reached the same level of cultivation as him in just over a year? This was absolutely unimaginable. He was extremely shocked, his eyes widened, and his face was filled with disbelief.

"Grandfather, this is what happened..." Pei Ye felt that now was the time to show the common interests of the Second Branch of the Pei Family. He must pull Pei Yun onto the boat of the Second Branch of the Pei Family. "...So this is not Sister Yun's fault at all. Sister Yun was just acting in self-defense."

"You're talking nonsense, it was clearly Pei Yun who attacked us!" Pei Ruo forced himself to stand up and pointed at Pei Yun and argued.

"Father, you must uphold justice for our first wife." Qian Xinran came to Pei Tan and pointed at the people in the second wife's house with a resentful look on her face. "This concubine was taught to be so vicious by the people in the second wife's house. They have been jealous and resentful since my husband was appointed as the next head of the family by you."

"Grandfather, the sword that my uncle just broke in with had 80% of its power. If I hadn't blocked it, the one lying on the ground vomiting blood would probably be someone from the second branch of the Pei family."

As soon as Pei Yun said this, everyone's face changed. The people from the second branch of the Pei family looked at the people from the first branch with indignation.

Pei Qing even pretended to be sad and looked at Pei Mo, saying in a resentful tone: "Brother, you have already obtained the position of the head of the family, but you still can't accommodate our second branch..."

"It's obviously the people from your first house who have evil intentions. Not only did they end up losing more than they gained, they also want to frame us. They are so vicious!" Pei Ling was so angry that he stepped forward regardless of anything and yelled at Pei Ruo.

Pei Mo's thoughts were exposed. He glanced at Pei Tan with a guilty conscience, stood up and walked towards Pei Yun, cursing angrily: "How dare you, little bitch, make up nonsense and frame me? I will teach you a lesson on behalf of my second brother..."

"No!" Pei Tan wanted to step forward to stop it.

"Brother don't!"

"Uncle, stop it!"

Several people jumped out to stop it.

Pei Mo is certainly not a fool. He knows that he cannot beat Pei Yun, but he expects that Pei Tan is here, so Pei Yun will definitely not dare to attack.

But Pei Yun didn't take Pei Tan seriously at all. She raised her eyebrows slightly, and seeing the desperate Pei Mo rushing over, she raised her hand with her palm facing upwards. The next moment, a huge water dragon rushed out from her palm. After flying in the air for a circle, the water dragon swooped down towards Pei Mo, slamming his body into the distant wall and damaging it. It was unknown whether he was alive or dead...

Everyone was shocked by the magic that Pei Yun had just cast, and they were stunned for a long time.

Oh my god! None of them could handle such a spell. Pei Yun was too powerful. Even the head of the family had never seen such a powerful spell.

Everyone couldn't help but shudder and took a step back unconsciously, not daring to get close to Pei Yun. Fear was written all over everyone's face. The people in the big house were trembling with panic, lowering their heads and not daring to look at her. After all, they had just offended Pei Yun. What if Pei Yun was a grudge holder, then they would end up like Pei Mo.

Pei Tan came back to his senses from the shock. He was completely sober at this moment. Pei Yun's strength was stronger than his. In the past, he would have been ecstatic to see such a talented Pei family member. However, he had just offended her and could not lower himself to show goodwill. He glanced at Pei Yun and said, "This matter has nothing to do with Pei Yun or the Second House. It's all Pei Mo's fault."

"Dad!"

"grandfather!"

"Okay, help Pei Mo go back to recuperate." Pei Tan wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter.

"Wait." Pei Yun stopped the people from the Pei family's main branch from leaving. Hearing her voice, the people from the main branch couldn't help but tremble with fear.

"What else do you want to do?" Pei Ruo turned around. Her heart was full of anger and frustration. She didn't understand why she always failed completely every time she faced Pei Yun.

"You come here and attack me without any explanation, and now you think you can leave so easily?"

"What do you want?"

"You must give me an explanation within ten days, otherwise... I will retaliate in the way the master does."

"That's right! You can come and go as you please, it's not that easy!" Pei Ling felt proud and relaxed at this moment, and even the Pei Yun he originally hated became pleasing to his eyes.

Pei Ye also walked to Pei Yun's side with a calculating smile in his eyes.

"When Pei Mo wakes up, I will ask him to give you an explanation." Pei Tan looked at Pei Yun and agreed.

Pei Yun glanced around at everyone, snorted, turned around and left with his hands behind his back.

She was sure that after this incident, after she had exposed the sinister intentions of the first wife, the people of the second wife would definitely fight back if they were a little smarter. The Pei family would be in trouble!

Although she wanted to watch the fun, Pei Yun didn't have the time. As soon as she returned to her residence, she slipped into the space. After building her foundation, she immediately returned to the Pei family. She didn't even have time to practice.

The Phantom Finger was of a high grade, and since she had no knowledge of illusion, it was difficult to practice, so she chose the Wind-Fixing Palm first. With the bonus of the wind realm, the Wind-Fixing Palm was much easier to learn.

The Wind-Fixing Palm is divided into four moves: Wind Rising, Wind Chaos, Wind Madness, and Wind Stopping. The palm moves with the heart, and the heart moves with the wind. The wind is coming...

Through daily practice, she had just begun to understand the state of wind, but now she has advanced to the small success stage. It complements the Wind-Fixing Palm, and the power of this move is no less than that of a top-grade Xuan-level martial arts secret book.

She didn't just stay in the space to practice. There was no wind in the space, so in order to feel the natural wind, she went to the deserted mountains outside the city to practice, and thus missed the waves of Pei family members who came to look for her.

In addition to practicing the Wind-Fixing Palm, Pei Yun began to read books about alchemy, such as "Atlas of Flowers and Plants in the Immortal World", "On the 108 Uses of Demon Pills", and "Spiritual Power is the Basis of Alchemy"...

Of course, the most important thing among them is alchemy - the method of alchemy. There are several kinds of alchemy in the space. She thought for a long time and chose this book "Qin's Alchemy". She didn't know who the senior Qin who wrote this book was, but after reading this book, even as a layman, she felt that this alchemy was quite exquisite -

There are eight stages from collection, fusion, training, subdivision, purification, extraction, spiritual integration, and elixir composition. The last chapter of this book writes that this alchemy technique requires extremely high mental strength, and it is not recommended for people with average mental strength to practice it.

However, Pei Yun was very confident in her mental strength, so she didn't have to worry about not being able to learn. She was so immersed in it that she didn't care about anything else. As a result, after the ten days she mentioned, the Pei family still hadn't found her and they were extremely anxious.

……

"Master, First Master, Second Master, the Fifth Miss is back and is walking towards this side!" Someone ran in quickly to report.

In the main house's hall, almost all members of the Pei family gathered here, because today was New Year's Eve and there would be the Pei family's dinner in the evening.

Hearing this, the people from the first and second houses stopped their insinuations and sneering at each other, and an undercurrent suddenly arose.

Pei Yun walked in at this delicate moment. Most of the people in the outer hall were Pei's illegitimate children and housekeepers. In fact, she should have stayed here, but she had not yet settled accounts with the eldest master, so she walked in without stopping for a moment.

The illegitimate children in the outer hall all looked at her secretly, their eyes were either envious, jealous, or expectant...

"Yun'er, you're back!" Pei Tan took the lead in standing up to greet her. Even if the others, especially those from the eldest house, were secretly dissatisfied, they did not dare not stand up at this time.

"Grandfather, father." Pei Yun bowed as usual, then looked at Pei Mo, "I was so busy practicing that I forgot about time. Uncle, have you thought about what to tell me?"

Unlike the second house, everyone in the first house looked gloomy. A young man stood up indignantly and pointed at Pei Yun: "How dare you! You know my father is your uncle, and you, a junior, dare to speak to an elder like that!"

Pei Yun raised his eyes and looked over. Just a simple glance, the pressure made the young man sit down weakly. This man was Pei Mo's eldest son Pei Wei, who was at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

"What? Is this what you told me?" Pei Yun looked around the Pei family's main house. The people from the second house on the other side looked quite arrogant, with pride and ridicule clearly visible on their faces.

After a moment of silence, Pei Ruo exhaled lightly and walked out. Her beautiful face was covered with a charming look. She bowed to Pei Yun, "Cousin Yun, this is a misunderstanding. It's because I didn't explain things clearly to Dad that Dad thought I was wronged and accidentally offended you..."

She paused and continued, "...I'm here to apologize to my cousin. I hope my cousin will forgive me for the sake of the Pei family."

"Heh!" Pei Yun was simply disgusted by Pei Ruo's pretentious attitude. Her words and attitude made it seem as if he had bullied her, and she and her father were the victims who had suffered all kinds of injustices.

"You falsely accused me of helping someone who murdered a fellow disciple in Yunshan Sect, and were punished by the sect leader to be confined for reflection. It seems that this reflection did not wake you up."

As soon as these words were spoken, Pei Ruo suddenly raised her eyes, and the hatred hidden in her eyes was slightly revealed. The people around her were very surprised to hear this gossip, and they looked at her strangely, which made Pei Ruo feel angry and ashamed.

"...and when you return to the Pei family, you think about your father's high cultivation level and the fact that he will be the next head of the family. It would be easy for him to deal with a concubine's daughter like me, no matter in terms of strength or status." She circled around Pei Ruo and easily saw through her thoughts.

"As for your father, his mind is even more ingenious. Not only does he want to help you vent your anger, he also wants to take the opportunity to deal with the people from the second branch..." She said as she walked in front of Pei Mo again, "This time Yunshan Sect is selecting disciples, and three people from the second branch have been selected. I guess uncle must be very anxious!"

These words made the faces of the people present even gloomier. Pei Tan turned his head and stared at Pei Mo gloomily.

"But you never expected that your father couldn't beat a concubine's daughter. Not only did he get hurt, but he also had to apologize to a concubine's daughter. You must feel very humiliated now."

"...Cousin Yun, you're joking. I..." Pei Ruo, whose thoughts were completely guessed, lowered his head and denied it with gritted teeth.

"I know this without you telling me." Pei Yun waved her hand to interrupt her. "When your people from the first house saw that I was not willing to let you go easily, they pushed you out to apologize to me..." She looked at the people from the first house with a sneer, and finally her gaze returned to Pei Ruo.

"...So you are reaping the fruits of your own actions today!" Pei Ruo raised his head and stared at her, the hatred on his face showing without reservation, "Just a few months ago, we had a dispute over a demon pill. For such a small matter, you made the worst choices step by step, leading to what is happening now. You shouldn't be surprised that you have ended up like this!"

"Pei Yun,... I believe I have never offended you. It was you who pushed me step by step and forced me to this point!" Pei Ruo retorted emotionally.

"You are the kind of person who likes to put all your mistakes on others." Pei Yun shook his head, his eyes indifferent, seeing through her nature, "When I killed the monster that day, did I force you to stand aside and watch? In front of the leader of Yunshan Sect and the elders, did I force you to speak up for that sneak attacker? Did I order you to be locked up? Did I force you to sow discord so that your father could kill me?"

"You've been the one pushing others every step of the way, but the results were beyond your expectations. Do you think you can just deny it? Do you think of yourself as a victim? You're weak, so you're right, right?"

"Shut up!" Pei Ruo completely collapsed and suddenly used a spell to attack her regardless of the consequences.

Pei Yun chuckled, and the flame went out with a wave of her hand. She used the first move of the Wind-Fixing Palm she had just practiced - Wind Rising, but she only used one-tenth of her strength, otherwise Pei Ruo might really be beaten to death by her. Although Pei Yun didn't mind killing her, it was much more interesting to let her live a life worse than death than to kill her.

After the palm strike, Pei Ruo first felt a breeze blowing, but then the wind came towards her with great force as if it was light and heavy. The next moment, she fell out and vomited blood.

"Take her away." Pei Tan ordered the people in the main room to help Pei Ruo out, and then announced majestically, "From today on, Pei Mo's qualification as the next head of the family will be revoked."

"father!"

"father!"

"Dad!"

When the news came out, some people were furious, while others were delighted.

Pei Mo looked at his father anxiously. It was obvious that the result of the previous discussion was just to push Pei Ruo out as an explanation to Pei Yun, but now he was going to be deprived of his qualification as the next head of the family.

Pei Qing was extremely excited. He and Pei Mo were the only direct descendants of Pei Tan's branch. Now that Pei Mo was kicked out, the chances of their second branch would be greater. Even if he was not chosen, their next generation would probably have no chance after Pei Ruo's incident today. As for the rest, his sons would be much more promising than the first branch's generation.

"The dinner party is about to begin."

Pei Tan ignored his eldest son's pleading. He was very disappointed in Pei Mo. As the next head of the family, he was narrow-minded. The second branch only had a few more people chosen by the Yunshan Sect, but he was so jealous that he wanted to kill the people from the second branch. He had no sense of the overall situation. It would be a matter of time before the Pei family would fall into decline if it was handed over to him.

"Yun'er, come and sit next to grandpa. You haven't been home for a long time. You've been busy these days, and I haven't had a good talk with you." It was rare for Pei Tan to be so kind to the younger generation.

"Yes! Yes! Yun'er, come and sit down." Pei Qing gave up his seat politely and pulled Pei Yun over.

The originally tense atmosphere became harmonious and enjoyable. Pei Yun didn't want to cause trouble during the New Year, so he sat down obediently.

"I didn't expect that in just over a year you've already reached the foundation-building stage, the same level as mine. You're really young and promising."

Hearing Pei Tan's words, everyone looked at Pei Yun in shock, and some people even spat out the wine in their mouths.

What! Did they hear it right? Pei Yun has actually reached the foundation-building stage. This is too amazing! Isn't her spiritual root low? Why can she practice so fast? It's only been more than a year! She is at the same level as the head of the family. She is only fifteen years old this year. If she is given more time, what level will she reach? Everyone's head was confused. Only a few people present could react. Their Pei family is going to rise!

Pei Tan was one of them. He smiled lovingly and personally picked up food for Pei Yun, but he was talking about serious matters: "Five days later, the city lord will hold a dinner party in the city lord's mansion and send invitations to all the major families. Yun'er, please accompany me then."

Pei Yun looked at him and said nothing.

"In a year, Qixia State will hold the once-in-a-decade city competition. The purpose of the city lord's banquet this time is to discuss the candidates for the competition, which is related to the allocation of resources among the cities and families..."

Pei Yun nodded then. She was also very interested in the cultivators from various families in Chi Ning City. She had never fought with cultivators in her life. After practicing for so long, it was time for her to see the world.
