Chapter 499: Chief Disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect 15
Taocheng became famous overnight.
The City Lord’s grandson was accepted as a disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect, but that’s not all; his parents were also taken along.
And that disciple, was merely of the Five Spirit Roots.
Why would the Heavenly Dao Sect accept a disciple with such low aptitude?
It must be because there is something extraordinary about this person.
The Heavenly Dao Sect, perhaps has a method to refine Five Spirit Roots into a Single Spirit Root? Otherwise, why accept someone with Five Spirit Roots?
However, it’s truly enviable. Why exactly was this person noticed by the Heavenly Dao Sect?
As for what happened that night in the Luo Family, although it’s known that Luo Yunyi has an uneasy relationship with the Luo Family, no one dares to underestimate the Luo Family. Everyone knows that if the Luo Family were in trouble, Luo Yunyi would not stand by and watch.
Yet many people privately gossiped about the Luo Family’s scandalous affairs. The City Lord’s sister, Luo Tingyu, married the Sect Master of the Yueban Sect and gave birth to a daughter named Tao Yingying, who was spoiled to the extreme, resulting in Tao Yingying being arrogant, self-centered, and selfish. Later, she took a fancy to a handsome disciple and insisted on marrying him. But the disciple had someone he loved and flatly refused. Not giving up, she directly drugged him and forced herself upon him.
This disciple left in shame and anger, rebelling against the Yueban Sect. The Yueban Sect’s Sect Master struggled to suppress the matter. In the end, Tao Yingying got pregnant. When asked to abort, she refused. Luo Tingyu returned to the Luo Family to discuss the matter with the City Lord, promising that after marrying Tao Yingying, the Yueban Sect would not only provide a hefty bride price but also offer more support to Taocheng. The City Lord weighed the benefits and agreed.
However, Luo Anling firmly opposed it. Because he was already married, and his beloved had just given birth to a child.
In the end, Luo Tingyu came to plead with him, and his grandmother also implored him. The elderly grandmother even knelt down to beg him.
Luo Tingyu repeatedly assured that it was just a titular status without any demands, merely providing Tao Yingying a place to stay and saving face.
The City Lord also came to persuade him on this matter.
Luo Anling finally agreed to this matter that he regretted for life.
Yu Xinlan’s child was born with Five Spirit Roots, while Tao Yingying’s child was born with a Single Spirit Root. This made the City Lord, who already didn’t favor Yu Xinlan, even more biased towards Tao Yingying.
At the outset, Luo Anling told Yu Xinlan the truth of the matter and his own dilemma.
After listening, Yu Xinlan calmly drove him out of their small courtyard.
"I can understand, but I can’t forgive." Yu Xinlan said as she closed the door. Though still in love, she couldn’t accept such a situation.
The City Lord, who originally cared about this niece, became even more fond of her after Tao Yingying had this child. Gradually, Tao Yingying forgot the original intention of the marriage, her ambition grew larger and she completely turned the tables, telling herself deep down that it was all true, that Luo Yunfei was indeed Luo Anling’s child, and everything of the Luo Family belonged to them.
By the time the City Lord realized the problem, it was too late.
Luo Anling and his family of three left, becoming a settled matter.
Tao Yingying was sent back to the Yueban Sect. Luo Tingyu and the Yueban Sect’s Sect Master sought to compensate the City Lord, but he waved his hand wearily, indicating he never wished to see them again. Seeing the City Lord who had aged greatly overnight, Luo Tingyu also regretted her previous decision.
Luo Yunfei also left, heading to the Chengtian Sect, no longer wishing to see Tao Yingying again.
