The Darling of Heaven Owns a Rip-off Shop

”So, there was never a Tree Heart. It was something you created yourself as the Treasure of the Sect eight hundred years ago.” Tianmiao smiled.

”That’s right.” Wei Yunshu grinned mischievously again, ”Where did the Tree Heart come from? That tree was just an ordinary big tree. I was bored at the time, so I made up a Treasure of the Sect for some fun, and for writing purposes too. It allowed me to write lots of legends about the Fenglan Sect. Those stories sold very well during that period.”

”I figured.” Tianmiao wanted to facepalm. This guy really doesn’t act like a Great Sect Master at all in certain aspects. Being bored, wanting a story for his books, he created a Treasure of the Sect. It became something everyone in the sect revered as precious, and it spread widely across this world.

Cui Wei was already on the verge of collapse; they had plotted for so long, lost so much, only to take away a fake. No, it was worse than a fake.

There was no Tree Heart, no treasure at all.

Just something the Sect Master created out of boredom.

”Are you still waiting for him to come back to save you? Do you firmly believe he’ll definitely save you?” Tianmiao suddenly spoke, gently addressing Cui Wei.

Cui Wei looked at Tianmiao in horror. She had seen this woman before, at the accessory shop. A pretty woman eyeing a butterfly hairpin.

Cui Wei bit her lip hard; of course, she wouldn’t say anything, definitely wouldn’t betray her beloved.

”You think he likes you? Would he risk it for you?” Tianmiao laughed, her tone a bit sarcastic.

”Yes, you’re truly stupid. He won’t come to save you. It’s impossible, you are already the abandoned pawn.” Wei Yunshu also said coldly, his tone even more mocking.

”You know?” Tianmiao asked Wei Yunshu via Divine Sense.

”Not at all, I don’t know what you’re talking about. But it’s never wrong to follow up with a few jibes based on what you say, right?” Wei Yunshu replied confidently via Divine Sense.

Alright, Sect Master, you really are... too cute. So cute that some people might think ’mischievous’ fits better than ’cute’.

”No way! He will come to save me! He definitely will!” Cui Wei shouted, trembling with anger.

”Silly child.” Tianmiao looked at the stubborn Cui Wei with sympathy, squatting down to look her in the eyes and speak softly, ”Think about it, you’ve been cultivating in the deep mountains, finally transforming, but as soon as you left the valley, you encountered a group of cultivators pursuing you. Then he appeared to save you. Isn’t that too coincidental? You know humans are cunning and deceitful, why not reflect more on human nature?”

”Hey!” Wei Yunshu protested quietly. How can she talk about humans like that? In this room, he’s human, she is too! It sounds like she’s not human herself.

”Does he really like you? Will he really come to save you? Are you sure the cultivators hunting you weren’t arranged by him?” Tianmiao’s face showed a cold and captivating smile, her voice light and slow, as if filled with endless charm, striking at Cui Wei’s heart, ”Think carefully.”

”No! It can’t be! What nonsense are you talking? Who are you? Why do you know so much? This is your conspiracy!” Cui Wei shook her head desperately, glaring viciously at Tianmiao.

”Now you start to suspect humans. Do you have a brain? Is the brain of a Spirit Beast as small as a pea?” Wei Yunshu couldn’t help but sneer.

”I know it’s not easy for you to believe. Why don’t we make a bet?” Tianmiao chuckled softly.

”What bet?” Cui Wei and Wei Yunshu asked in unison.
