Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Chapter 786 World 334

"Sister Wan'er?" Shen Ruyin asked, puzzled. "Village Chief, what are you talking about? Didn't Sister Wan'er go back to her biological parents' home?"

She denied it, and even her eyes turned cold. The village chief was unsure whether he should continue speaking.

Shen Ruyin was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore and made up her mind to leave after she had dealt with Su Xiaodi's matter.

Not long after, the Su couple arrived with their younger brother.

“Yin girl,” Aunt Su’s eyes lit up, “come and help me look after my little brother.”

Shen Ruyin ignored her and didn't call for help. She made a hand gesture, and a beam of light flashed by, instantly relieving Su Xiaodi's sore throat.

“Mother,” Su Xiaodi said with some surprise, and when he turned to Shen Ruyin, he was unusually well-mannered, “Sister Yinyin.”

"Now that the matter is settled, I will not linger any longer."

Before they could react, Shen Ruyin had already reached the door, made a hand seal, and gracefully disappeared.

Su's mother was stunned for a moment: "She, how could she just leave like that? I haven't even asked her about Wan'er yet."

"What are you asking?" The village chief looked at the Su family with deep disgust in his eyes. "Because of your family's affairs, you've wasted Yin Yin's kindness. In the future, you won't be able to get many things from her. Are you happy now?"

The village chief's wife had just gone out and didn't expect to hear this news when she came back. She quickly asked, "What do you mean? Shen is from our village. People in the village have always helped her. How can she just abandon her like this?"

"Mind her?" The village chief snorted. "Of course she'll mind those who were good to her in the past, but she keeps a record of those who weren't."

"Forget it, for now our village is a well-known fairy village. In the future, without the constables coming to our door to demand bribes, we can live better than before."

Regardless of what was happening in the village, Aunt Su still asked the village chief, "Village chief, did she mention that wretched girl Wan'er to you?"

"Get out! Get out!" the village chief shouted angrily, "Isn't your own daughter a cultivator too? If you're looking for your adopted daughter, go ask your own daughter!"

The Su couple immediately panicked: "Village chief, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm talking nonsense?" The village chief was almost laughing in anger. "What, isn't Wei Linghua, who laid a hand on your youngest son, your own daughter?"

Aunt Su hurriedly replied, "You wouldn't dare, that's the Princess."

"Oh?" The village chief pointed to the sky outside. "Then you two swear to the heavens that Wei Linghua is not your biological daughter. If you are lying, may your whole family die a horrible death and Wei Linghua's path to immortality be cut off. Do you dare to swear?"

"Are you... are you sick in the head?!" Aunt Su finally managed to utter this after a long pause, then quickly left with her husband and their youngest son.

The village chief's wife finally realized after a long while: "They, their whole family set up a trap for Yin'er!"

The village chief froze for a moment, then slapped his forehead, muttering repeatedly, "It's all over, it's all over."

The village chief's wife tugged at him: "What do you mean 'it's all over'? What are you doing?"

The village chief was somewhat dejected: "It was my fault. Yinyin was probably only angry at the Su family for setting her up at first, but later I said the wrong thing and severed her ties with our family."

The village chief's wife didn't know how to persuade him, and after a long while she asked, "Can the youngest son's marriage still work out? She's the daughter of a wealthy family in the city."

"What time is it? You still have time to think about this?" the village chief said irritably. "Don't you understand the saying 'Qi Da Fei Ou'? Do you want to invite an ancestor back for you to serve?"

Shen Ruyin didn't want to know what happened after she left. She immediately disappeared into the sky and went straight home.

By now, Shen Ruwan had cleaned the place inside and out until it was spotless.

Of course, the house was enchanted, and she personally fetched water for the memorial tablets and altar for Shen's parents.

"Yinyin, come here quickly," Shen Ruwan took out the prepared food from the Sumeru Mustard Seed. After everyone sat down, she asked if things had gone smoothly.

While eating, Shen Ruyin recounted everything that had just happened in great detail.

Shen Ruwan's face showed no trace of a smile, and she looked like she wanted to cause trouble for the village chief.

Shen Ruyin advised her, "Human nature is complex. The village chief isn't exactly a good person; he just puts on a good show in front of outsiders."

"A person lives for a hundred years, which is just the time we will spend in seclusion once in a while. It will be gone in the blink of an eye, and there will be no chance to meet again."

"Sister, there's no need for you to get angry about this or resort to any means."

Seeing that Shen Ruwan still didn't smile, Shen Ruyin thought for a moment and changed her analogy.

"Sister, just because a mayfly appears in your life, do you really feel the need to find a way to teach it a half-hearted lesson?"

Mayflies live only a day and die at night. Giving them a lesson won't cost them their lives, so what's the point of taking action?

Shen Ruwan sighed: "Yinyin, I finally realize now that the Path of Ruthlessness you cultivate is quite different from mine."

"Hmm?" Shen Ruyin didn't understand what she meant. "What do you think is different, sister?"

Shen Ruwan said, "If you had encountered something like this back in the village, you would never have tolerated it."

Shen Ruyin argued, "That's because we're in different positions now, and the scenery we see is different, so naturally we'll handle things differently."

“No, there is still a difference,” Shen Ruwan said with some worry. “Yinyin, when you finish your work, will you feel that my existence is dispensable?”

"How could that be?" Shen Ruyin said, dissatisfied. "Does my sister not want to be my sister anymore?"

“Of course not,” Shen Ruwan said, which stirred her emotions. She became inexplicably happy and focused on serving her food. She then changed the subject.

The two were eating when there was a knock on the door.

The two sisters exchanged a glance and listened intently. Sure enough, they heard a very soft voice ask, "Sister Yinyin, are you home?"

That familiar voice belonged to Su Xiaodi.

Shen Ruwan said calmly, "He deliberately avoided his parents to come looking for you, so there must be something he wants to discuss."

Shen Ruyin understood her meaning: "Then let's meet."

Su Xiaodi was about to knock on the door again when it creaked open a crack by itself.

Su Xiaodi peeked in furtively, then closed the door before going inside.

When Su Xiaodi entered, he seemed to completely ignore Shen Ruwan standing to the side, and only said somewhat awkwardly to Shen Ruyin, "Thank you, Sister Yinyin, for saving me."

Shen Ruyin guessed that her sister must have used a trick to make Su Xiaodi unable to see her, but she didn't expose her.

“You’ve made some progress,” Shen Ruyin said. “Thank you and go back now. Your parents will have to look for you again if they can’t find you later.”

“They’re too busy right now,” Su Xiaodi said, then bit his lower lip. “Sister Yinyin, is Su Wan’er alright?”

Seeing that Shen Ruyin did not answer, he cleverly changed the subject.

“Sister Yinyin, you used to be closest to her. If you see her, remember to give her a reminder.”

“That wicked woman Wei Linghua secretly drew her portrait and even showed it to Mother for identification.”

“I recognized her at a glance. Mother didn’t recognize her and said it wasn’t her, so Wei Linghua left.”

"But I don't think she's a good person, she definitely has something else up her sleeve."

"You and she should both be careful."

Shen Ruyin tilted her head: "I'm a little curious, why did you come to tell me all this?"
