Chapter 3097

Yan Xizhong had felt uneasy when he first heard that the Yun family wanted Yun Meng to return for a blind date. However, hearing Yun Meng’s explanation eased his mind somewhat. He simply nodded and said, "You are already married, after all."

Yun Meng added, "I told them I was married, but they seemed skeptical. They might send someone to test you in the next couple of days."

Yan Xizhong let out a cold sneer. "Am I afraid of being tested?"

She continued, "I have never liked being tested by just anyone, especially by some boring people."

As the Young Palace Master of the Yan Palace in the Underworld, he was naturally arrogant. How could he allow mere mortals to test him?

Moreover, Yan Xizhong held no goodwill toward anyone in the Yun family. He did not intend to take them seriously.

Naturally, he had no plans to let them test him either.

To Yan Xizhong, if they wanted to test him, they should first check if they were qualified.

Yun Meng sighed. "I am not worried about them testing you. I am worried that they will discover my sister and brother-in-law."

"Then let First Soul and his wife go into hiding for a few days," Yan Xizhong said calmly.

"I thought of that too. But didn't you say my sister needs to absorb moonlight? Is there a place nearby where they can hide?" Yun Meng asked.

Yan Xizhong glanced at Yun Meng. "Wife, when did you become so silly? There are many mountains and cliffs nearby, which means there are plenty of caves. Let First Soul take Yun Ling to live in the mountains for a few days. First, it fits the situation. Second, no one will pay attention to her absorbing Taiyin Qi there."

Yun Meng smiled. "What I mean is, you should give them something for self-defense."

Well, saying more just meant his wife was asking him for things.

Fortunately, while he might not have many other items, he had plenty of defensive tools. So, Yan Xizhong threw some items to Yun Meng. "Go give these to them."

Yun Meng did not hesitate. She took the items and went to find Yun Ling.

Shortly after, First Soul and Yun Ling left. They would not return for at least half a month, waiting until the Yun family members had departed.

Yun Ling watched the house recede into the distance, looking helpless. "I feel like I am stealing."

First Soul was driving, a gentle smile on his lips. "There is no other way. You are carrying a child now. If you stay and your family discovers the child is a Soul Child, the baby might not survive birth. Just endure this hardship for me."

Yun Ling did not mind this. She nodded. "Alright, let’s do it your way."

From the day she left the Yun family with First Soul, Yun Ling had decided to temporarily be First Soul’s wife. Knowing the price First Soul had paid for her, she would not go home at this moment.

Returning to the Yun family meant becoming a high-quality item waiting to be sold, used by Yun Qichu for political marriage.

Even though she was the Yun family heir, it did not mean she was willing to have her marriage traded away like this.

Yun Ling was unwilling. At least, not now.

Yun Ling and First Soul entered the mountain range. Just as Yan Xizhong had said, with their skills, finding a place to stay was very simple. The atmosphere here was quiet, and the Taiyin Qi at night was abundant.

Even in this wild mountain area, their living conditions were not particularly harsh.

While they were peaceful, the situation on Yun Meng’s side was not.

Yun Qichu came personally, accompanied by the butler.

Yun Meng was somewhat surprised to see Yun Qichu and the butler arrive. She had expected the Yun family to send people, but she did not expect Yun Qichu himself to come along with the butler.

"You say you are married, and it is to this pretty boy?" Yun Qichu looked at Yun Meng with dissatisfaction.

Yun Meng glanced at Yun Qichu, then spoke slowly. "How does he look like a pretty boy? However, you are right about one thing: he is indeed my husband."

"Divorce him immediately," Yun Qichu ordered.

"Impossible," Yun Meng replied firmly.

"You… do you still want to be the Yun family’s daughter?" Yun Qichu asked angrily.

"I can choose not to be the Yun family’s daughter," Yun Meng smiled slightly. "Actually, I feel much more relaxed not being the Yun family’s daughter."

"You… you… unfilial daughter," Yun Qichu cursed.

"Oh, if being an unfilial daughter makes me free, I quite like being an unfilial daughter," Yun Meng said. Her tongue seemed sharper now. At least when facing Yun Qichu, she did not lose ground at all.

Yun Qichu pointed at Yan Xizhong and shouted at Yun Meng, "Is it for this pretty boy that you dare to talk back to me like this?"

Yun Meng raised her eyebrows, a faint anger on her face. "The 'pretty boy' you speak of is my husband, the father of my future child. Please watch your words."

"I do not recognize him as my son-in-law," Yun Qichu stated directly.

Yun Meng sneered coldly. "I did not plan to have you recognize him. To me, whether you recognize him or not does not matter. I am the one marrying him. As long as I recognize him, that is enough." Yun Meng was not afraid of making Yun Qichu angry.

Yun Qichu pointed at Yun Meng. "You are an unfilial daughter."

"I have heard you say this since I was a child," Yun Meng laughed lightly. "In your eyes, neither my sister nor I are filial. Perhaps the only filial one is that illegitimate daughter you have outside."

"Shut up," Yun Qichu said, panic flashing in his eyes. He could not believe Yun Meng knew this private matter.

The Yun family allowed him to have mistresses, but not illegitimate children. Yet, Yun Qichu, disliking his two biological daughters, had secretly fathered an illegitimate daughter.

Even Old Master Yun did not know about this. Who would have thought Yun Meng knew?

The butler’s eyes flashed with sharp light. He glanced at Yun Qichu. It seemed he needed to report this matter to his old master properly.

"Yun Meng, if you divorce him, I will still recognize you as my daughter. When I die, you can still inherit part of my property," Yun Qichu said.

"Not interested," Yun Meng said indifferently. "Give your property to your illegitimate daughter. I have no interest in it."

Yan Xizhong slowly closed the computer in front of him. He then looked at Yun Qichu and said calmly, "You are showing off with that little bit of property?"

Yun Qichu looked at Yan Xizhong. "Which family are you from? State your name."

Yan Xizhong snorted. "You are not qualified to know who I am."

Yan Xizhong’s eyes widened, releasing his pressure. Of course, he did not release much, only thirty percent of his own power. Yet, even this thirty percent forced Yun Qichu to retreat several steps.
