Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion

Chapter 173

Meng Fan could clearly sense that Ye Qingyu was in a bad mood.

Given the situation and the fact that they were at someone else's doorstep, he naturally had to give Ye Qingyu some face.

So, he didn't dwell on Ye Qingyu's attitude.

But his intuition told him that Ye Qingyu's relationship with her family wasn't great.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have this attitude as soon as she got home.

However, this was none of Meng Fan's business, so he naturally wouldn't meddle.

The old servant quickly ushered Ye Qingyu and Meng Fan into the Ye family estate.

Ye Qingyu naturally went to her own room, while Meng Fan was assigned to a guest room.

Meng Fan stayed alone in the guest room for a while. Seeing that Ye Qingyu hadn't come to find him, he decided to head to her room.

He wasn't here as a guest; the sooner he finished his business, the sooner he could leave. He didn't want to stay in the Ye family estate for too long.

Before he even reached Ye Qingyu's door, just as he entered the courtyard, he heard the voice of a middle-aged woman.

"I told you clearly last time, bring back a hundred top-grade Spirit Stones for your brother's cultivation. And you only brought ten? What do you mean by that? Are you trying to brush us off?

Qingshan is your brother, not some stranger. I am your mother! You think you can brush us off with just this? Are you even human? You unfilial daughter..."

Meng Fan stood in the courtyard, his brows furrowing.

It was obvious that the woman speaking was Ye Qingyu's mother.

But the content of her words was quite "unsightly."

If a sister willingly supports her brother out of affection, there's nothing to say about that.

But if parents force their daughter to be a "brother-supporter," that's absolutely over the line.

It's like on Earth, the phrase "favoring sons over daughters" can cause a huge uproar because many such situations are indeed outrageous!

"A hundred top-grade Spirit Stones, haha," Meng Fan muttered to himself, unable to hide the sarcasm and ridicule in his tone.

Do you know what a hundred top-grade Spirit Stones mean?

How could this woman even dare to ask for that?

That's equivalent to ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones!

Enough for Meng Fan to comprehend the Sword God Stele for ten days and nights.

For disciples of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, it's an astronomical number!!!

Asking for a hundred Spirit Stones is like a vampire's demand.

And Ye Qingyu had already given ten top-grade Spirit Stones, which is a thousand low-grade Spirit Stones.

That's already a significant amount.

But the woman completely disregarded it, even going so far as to insult Ye Qingyu as an unfilial daughter.

Meng Fan walked towards Ye Qingyu's room and saw the young lady standing inside with her head down, silently enduring her mother's scolding.

Meng Fan couldn't help but sigh.

No wonder this young lady was in a bad mood as soon as she arrived at the Ye family estate.

If it were him, it would probably be even worse.

He wanted to say: Such a mother, better off without!

But after all, she was Ye Qingyu's biological mother, and as an outsider, he had no right to interfere.

Meng Fan walked straight to the door and said to Ye Qingyu, "Senior Sister Ye, it's time to go!"

At this moment, Ye Qingyu must be feeling extremely awkward here, so it was better to call her away and relieve her from this situation.

"You must be Xiaoyu's Junior Brother?" The woman saw Meng Fan, her brows furrowing slightly before relaxing. She smiled at Meng Fan and said,

"You're just in time. Xiaoyu doesn't have enough Spirit Stones with her. Lend her some first, and she'll return them to you when she gets back to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect!"

Hearing the woman's words, Meng Fan was stunned.

Is this something a normal person would say?

How could someone be so shameless?

On the other side, Ye Qingyu, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly looked up, her face extremely ugly as she stared at her mother.

She wasn't as surprised as Meng Fan because, in her eyes, it was normal for her mother to do such things and say such words.

But it was really embarrassing!

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?" Ye Qingyu's tone was filled with coldness.

The woman immediately turned back and glared at Ye Qingyu, angrily saying, "What nonsense? Are you deaf? I'm asking your Junior Brother to lend you some Spirit Stones, and you'll return them when you get back to Shu Mountain!"

Ye Qingyu was so angry that she gritted her teeth and shouted, "He won't lend me Spirit Stones, and I don't have any Spirit Stones to return to him!"

"You unfilial daughter, don't think I don't know. You're a famous alchemist in the Alchemy Hall of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect. How could you not have Spirit Stones?

We are your family, your closest kin!

You can't even spare a hundred Spirit Stones? Are you even human?

How did I give birth to such a heartless thing like you? You're driving me mad!!!"

The woman obviously wouldn't be driven mad, but her words almost drove Ye Qingyu mad.

Ye Qingyu's whole body trembled, her fists clenched tightly.

Unfilial?

Not human?

Heartless?

Haha...

She used True Qi to evaporate the tears that couldn't stop flowing from her eyes, not letting herself cry.

Meng Fan couldn't stand it anymore. He stepped forward and said to the woman, "Whether I lend Spirit Stones or not, you should ask me, not Senior Sister Ye. After all, Senior Sister Ye can't make decisions for me!"

The woman quickly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, this young brother, don't worry. As long as you're willing to lend Spirit Stones, Xiaoyu will definitely return them to you when she gets back to Shu Mountain."

Meng Fan coldly said, "So, are the Spirit Stones for you or for Senior Sister Ye?"

The woman immediately said, "For me, just give them to me!"

"If they're for you, then why should Senior Sister Ye return them?" Meng Fan's tone was filled with disdain.

"Xiaoyu is my daughter. Isn't it only natural?" The woman said righteously.

Meng Fan let out a long breath through his nose, feeling impatient and unwilling to deal with this woman any longer.

"Senior Sister Ye, we should get going. The sooner we finish our business, the sooner we can return to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect," he said, turning to Ye Qingyu.

The woman panicked when she heard Meng Fan was leaving.

She quickly grabbed Ye Qingyu and said, "Xiaoyu, can you really bear to see your brother be a waste for his entire life? Without Spirit Stones, he can't grow at all."

With a mother like you, he really can't grow up!!

Meng Fan couldn't stand it anymore. He pulled Ye Qingyu over and coldly looked at the woman.

"Listen up, I won't lend you my Spirit Stones. If I did, you'd have the guts to take them, but not the life to spend them!"

With that, Meng Fan drew the Hong Qi Sword and slashed at the ground in front of the woman.

In an instant, a bottomless pit appeared at the woman's feet.

As Ye Qingyu's mother, she naturally found it difficult to confront her.

But Meng Fan wasn't so polite!

If this woman pushed him too far, he couldn't guarantee he wouldn't cut her down with one strike.

At that point, he wouldn't care about Ye Qingyu's feelings!

"Are you threatening me?" The woman's face changed.
