The Almighty was indeed not to be provoked. Otherwise, anyone who dared defy the Almighty might find their hard-earned cultivation flushed down the drain.
Therefore, even though SuperBeech’s name was still red, no one dared to kill him or provoke him.
However, in reality, after Leng Qirui fished out his best equipment, he asked his butler, Wen Yi, to help him kill.
After all, he still needed to deal with the initiator of evil.
Selina’s house was behind the Leng residence. He had no idea why the daughter of a duke would come to live in an insignificant place like Jiang District. Moreover, she brought him so many catastrophes, of all people.
In short, Leng Qirui planned to vent all of his pent-up anger at her the moment he saw her.
Before he reached the door, he heard an angry and shrill voice telling someone off.
“Selina, take a good look at my face and yours. Do you think anybody’s fooled? I’m your mother, and there’s no doubt about that! I’ve taken the initiative to acknowledge you as my daughter; what right do you have to deny me? If I didn’t give you life, would you have come to this world and become the duke’s adopted daughter? You’ve forgotten your roots!”
Leng Qirui heard the string of curses and stopped in his tracks.
Leng Qirui frowned at the woman who had scolded Selina.
He knew this woman. Gu Mingyan was the matriarch of the Huang family, a second-tier aristocratic family in Emperor District. The reason behind how the Gu family spread their influence from a lowly Jiang District to Emperor District. It even became a third-tier aristocratic family in Emperor District all thanks to this lady from the Gu family that they were able to climb up the ranks.
Leng Qirui had never associated Gu Mingyan with Selina before, but now that they were facing each other, he realized that although Selina was mixed, her facial features were shockingly similar to Gu Mingyan’s if one isolated her facial features.
So, Selina was Gu Mingyan’s daughter!
However, Gu Mingyan only had a daughter and a son, right? When did she give birth to Selina? Did the head of the Huang family know that Gu Mingyan had a daughter before she got married?
“I forgot my roots? What’s my root? The Huang family? Did you feel guilty at all when you said that? Don’t you dare think that I didn’t know anything because I was still young then. You thought that my father was poor and that I was a disgrace to you.
“If my dad didn’t insist on protecting me—that if you did not give birth to me, he would have gone to sue you, not allowing you to marry that man with the surname Huang. If it’s not for that, I’m afraid you would have induced yourself into labor long ago. As for an executioner like you, you’re talking about forgetting my roots here? Do you really think I don’t know what that means just because I grew up overseas?”
Instead of turning red with anger, Gu Mingyan was glad that Selina said that.
A victorious smile appeared on his face. “So, you’re still admitting that you’re my daughter, right? I knew you were already five years old then. You already have memories and thoughts. How could you not recognize me?
“Selina, I didn’t break up with your father because he was poor. If I really disliked him because of this, I wouldn’t have fallen in love with him at all. I broke up with him because he was evil! If he was a kind-hearted man, he wouldn’t have come to me when he knew that I was married. He wouldn’t have said bad things about me not wanting to give birth to you and wanting to abort you when he knew that I couldn’t afford to raise you.
“I am your mother. Which mother in this world did not love their own children? You are my daughter; the closest person to me in this world. How could I not love you?”
