Zhu Huan looked around and soon saw the Wen family's mistress, Hu Min, whom she had met many times outside the game before.

Her appearance and attire were almost the same as she remembered.

The woman's half-white hair was meticulously combed, her thin but capable body was wrapped in a dark green Jiangnan smoke brocade dress, and she was holding a red sandalwood crutch in her right hand to help her walk easily.

But this crutch is not equipped because of her old age. She is only 46 now, and her facial features are grand. Except for the half-white black hair that can be seen as a bit old, there is no trace of the word "old" in other places.

The reason for this is that Zhu Huan heard Wen Qi say that she broke her right leg many years ago while trying to save a handkerchief.

The current right leg is made of Tianlian root, which is unique to the world of cultivation, but its appearance can be used as a leg, but its function is still obviously lacking, and it often causes weakness, so a crutch is needed.

She looked at Hu Min's furious face and subconsciously distanced herself from Wen Qi.

This matron of the Wen family is a typical matron of an aristocratic family, who is very particular about being well-matched. Before she traveled, she had heard her eldest son say many times that she had forced him to look at young ladies from aristocratic families of the same family.

Seeing them so close now, I guess I got distracted.

"Senior Brother Wen is..." Zhu Huan wanted to explain, but Mother Wen sternly stopped her, "Shut up, you have the right to speak here?!"

After scolding Zhu Huan, she immediately looked at Wen Qi with a dark face: "Qi'er, come with me!!"

Mother Wen is very powerful, similar to Zhu Huan's powerful conglomerate grandmother in her previous family.

So she wasn't actually scared, but she still needed Wen Qi to help her now. She couldn't act too strong, she had to be weak.

So he pinched his thigh, his eyes instantly turned red, he bit his lip and said nothing.

Much like a frightened little beast, pitiful.

Seeing this, Wen Qi quietly tightened his grip on the sword hilt, and his fingertips turned white with force.

He did not follow quickly, but patted Zhu Huan's shoulder in a comforting manner: "Junior sister, wait a moment. I apologize to you on behalf of my mother for scaring you."

When he only knew her through floating fonts, he thought she was a very strong woman.

Now that he got in touch with her, he realized that she was just like a little rabbit. She couldn't bear to be frightened, and she also loved to have red eyes.

Seeing that Wen Qi did not alienate her because of his mother's appearance, Zhu Huan quickly let go of his raised heart. He shook his head in a sensible manner and said, "No, senior brother Wen, you'd better go quickly. It doesn't matter if I'm here."

At present, if she wants to stay in the inner sect for a long time, relying on her eldest son to open a small stove for her is the best option. Although there are other ways to do it without relying on him, the principles taught to her by living in a chaebol family in her previous life tell her to try her best. Solve difficult problems in the best possible way.

Otherwise, she will be tired if she doesn't tell herself, and the possibility of successful solution will be greatly reduced.

Wen Qi didn't know what was going on in Zhu Huan's heart. At this moment, he followed Wen's mother to a ginkgo tree in the Dongfu courtyard.

"If you really like her, you shouldn't make it so public. Where would you put the face of my Wen family? My mother has already understood this girl's family background. She was born in a small mountain village and her family is very wealthy. The worst thing is that she was raised as a child bride! She has been under the same roof with Zhu Yang all year round, how did you know that she didn't have one?"

Before Wen's mother finished speaking, Wen Qi guessed what she was going to say next.It's just that Zhu Huan may have been estranged from Zhu Yang for a long time, so the anger in his eyebrows became stronger, and he interrupted her in a hoarse voice: "According to mother's wishes, what should we do?"

Mother Wen's face brightened slightly when she saw that he was still so obedient and sensible.

"If you really like it, let her leave the world of cultivation with me today. I will send someone to teach her what responsibilities she should perform as a bride. Originally, it would be too high for you to be a bride with her background, but I Now that I see that I really like you, I will accept your request once and make an exception."

"Mother-in-law?" Wen Qiyin's red lips curved, seemingly smiling, but in fact there was a chill in her eyes.

"Of course, don't you still want him to be your legal wife?!" Mother Wen frowned and looked at him sharply.

But Wen Qi is not the real Wen Qi, and he is not afraid of her.

"No, it's just that I have no intention of taking her as my wife, and I have no romantic feelings for her. I helped her a lot before, but it was just out of pity for her talent. She has excellent bones. If she can't enter the inner door, it's true. It’s a pity.”

The young man has gentle eyebrows and a clear voice that can make the listener feel physically and mentally relaxed.

Mother Wen understood her son, who although not related by blood, was like her own son.

Hearing what he said, she immediately relaxed her frown and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine. As long as you don't have her in your heart, that's fine. Just keep a good distance from her in the future."

"But there's something I have to tell you in advance. Your future wife can only be a lady from a family that matches my Wen family, and she can never be a girl from a small family. Do you understand?"

"Today I came to the world of cultivation to find you privately. I didn't tell your father. Otherwise, with his temperament, no matter whether you like Zhu Huan or not, he would find a way to make her disappear. I have already informed you You have blocked it, there is only so much I can do as a mother, you must not act as high-profile as before in the future!"

After hearing what Hu Min said, Wen Qi was speechless for a moment.

When he was a bystander before, he had always felt that Wen Qi was a mother-in-law who had to be checked and balanced by his mother in everything, which made him laugh.

Now it was his turn to experience it for himself, and he understood what Wen Qi meant when he said before that he was not from the world of cultivation, and there were some things he didn't understand hidden in them.

As the head of the four major families in the world of cultivation, the Wen family would not have a difficult time making an unknown female cultivator like Zhu Huan disappear from the world.

He acted in a high-profile manner during this period. It seemed that he was treating Zhu Huan well, but in fact he was putting her on the stove to roast.

But how could he, who came out of the chaotic Haitian Valley and only knew that strength is king, understand this truth from the beginning?
When he thought that he had almost caused Zhu Huan to suffer an unreasonable disaster because of his actions, guilt and embarrassment instantly filled Wen Qi's dark eyes. He almost didn't listen to a word of the caring words that Wen's mother said next.

But I am thinking about what should I do in the future?
Is it true that we can only keep a distance from Zhu Huan as Wen's mother said?

He is not the real Wen Qi, and he does not need to think about what he will suffer after returning to the Wen family in the future.

If he only considers the world of cultivation, there is a special identity that can bind him to Zhu Huan openly!
Thinking of this, Wen Qi made a request to Wen's mother before she planned to leave.

"Mom, I have a question, can you help me?"

Wen Qi: Some people really don’t do anything related to people!
