Speaking of which, Song Baoshi also felt wronged. If he had known Lin Yifan's identity earlier, he definitely wouldn't have provoked Lin Yifan.

"What does this have to do with Wei Chengxue?" Song Baoshi's father inquired.

He had always placed great importance on his son's romantic involvement, so he was very concerned that Wei Chengxue was involved in this matter.

"It was that ***** who provoked the disciple of Medicinal Saint Valley first, then when she couldn't beat him, she asked me to help," Song Baoshi answered.

"*****? Baoshi, why do you curse Chengxue like that? What if word gets out and the Wei Family hears it, then what?" Song Baoshi's father asked anxiously.

"Father! Everything I do, I do for a reason. You don't know, when I left just now, Wei Chengxue simply didn't care whether I lived or died, she resolutely left without even looking back. I feel so cold towards her actions," Song Baoshi expressed his grievances hoping to receive comfort from his family.

He didn't want to curse Wei Chengxue either. After all, Wei Chengxue could be considered a one-in-a-hundred beauty, but he simply couldn't swallow this indignity.

"That Wei Chengxue is too heartless. My son went to save her with all good intentions, and she didn't even thank him, just turned around and left, leaving my son seriously injured while others laughed at him, suffering disdain. It's infuriating. I absolutely do not want such a daughter-in-law,"

Song Baoshi's mother said angrily, feeling deeply hurt for her treasured son.

However, Song Baoshi's father, equally angry, had a different sentiment; not only did he not blame Wei Chengxue, he even advised Song Baoshi to let go of the grudge and not blame Wei Chengxue.

"Son! Wei Chengxue was indeed in the wrong, but you must not give up on this relationship lightly! The strategic marriage between the Song and Wei families is the trend of the times. You must seize this opportunity and not let the cooked duck fly away," Song Baoshi's father counseled.

"Why? Can't our Song Family live without them, the Wei Family?" Song Baoshi asked, confusion written across his face.

From the moment Wei Chengxue turned her back and left, he was utterly disappointed in her. He too was a scion of a clan, and he had his dignity, so he truly didn't want to shamelessly grovel at Wei Chengxue's feet.

"We can survive, but if you want to become more powerful, you must make an alliance through marriage; only if our Song Family and the Wei Family join forces will the other powers in the Capital City not dare to bully us," Song Baoshi's father answered.

On the surface, the thirteen major powers in the Capital City seemed very peaceful but were in fact engaged in secret struggles; thus, in order to keep other powers in check, they must align with one power, stand united, and expand the business.

Moreover, their Song Family was in the gemstone business, and the Wei Family was in e-commerce. Thus, cooperation between the two was a perfect fit. This way, their Song Family could leverage the Wei Family's online platform to increase sales, and the Wei Family would also obtain substantial benefits from it, achieving mutual gain.

"Which clan has bullied us? Hasn't everything been peaceful? Haven't we all been minding our own businesses?" Song Baoshi asked, still not understanding.

"My son! You are naive. Once you take my place, you will understand the words I'm saying today," Song Baoshi's father replied.

There will never be absolute peace in this world; survival is always about overt confrontations and covert battles. That is the law of nature: survival of the fittest.

Song Baoshi might not fully understand, but since his father said so, there must be a reason, so he could only compromise.

"All right! I'll try to convince myself not to hate Wei Chengxue. However, at this stage, I definitely won't have any contact with her," he conceded.

"As you wish, as long as you don't give up on Wei Chengxue as a pawn," Song Baoshi's father responded.

On the other side, Wei Chengxue also relayed the grievances she had suffered at Tian Qiu Market to her father.

After listening, Wei Chengxue's father was enraged to the extreme, vowing to annihilate Lin Yifan.

However, when Wei Chengxue mentioned that the person who bullied her was likely the young man who had humiliated the Tian Family the previous night, her father fell silent.

The incident that had taken place on Longxing Street involving the Tian Family the previous night had already spread among the major clans. Everyone was aware of the existence of two disciples from Medicinal Saint Valley wielding the Medicine Saint Order, undoubtedly the prized disciples of the Medicine Saint or perhaps specially dispatched by the Medicine Saint to carry out missions in the Secular World.

No matter the scenario, both individuals had an extraordinary relationship with the Medicine Saint beyond that of typical masters and disciples, so provoking them was tantamount to provoking the Medicine Saint himself.

Who the Medicine Saint was and what his strength was, there was no need to say, everyone knew; he stood at the peak of the world, unbeatable in single combat; thus, to provoke such a Great Power was undoubtedly seeking death. Moreover, the forces behind them would not allow such actions.

All were speculations, but Wei Chengxue's father brought out the photographs he had obtained and asked Wei Chengxue to identify if the young man who had bullied her was the same as the one in the photos.

Wei Chengxue recognized the man in the photos instantly; it was the man who had bullied her.

At that moment, Wei Chengxue's father was thoroughly silent.

After a long time, he finally spoke, "Xue'er, I'm sorry, your father is useless, I can't help you avenge this!"

Hearing her father's words filled with guilt, Wei Chengxue truly believed that everything was real, that the Tian Family had indeed suffered public humiliation the previous night, and that Lin Yifan was indeed not afraid of her Wei Family.

However, she didn't understand, didn't understand what Lin Yifan's status was that made all the major families fear her, so she inquired of her father, seeking the true answer.

Wei Chengxue's father explained in detail, revealing everything he knew.

After hearing her father's reply, Wei Chengxue finally realized that there was such a supreme sect in this world and such a highly esteemed and powerful person in existence.

Now, she truly felt the depth of her injury. Such power, such background, who would dare provoke them?

Fortunately, the injuries she had suffered had all been intercepted by her attendants and Song Baoshi; otherwise, it would not have been as simple as losing a few strands of hair.

Reflecting on her actions, heartlessly leaving without caring for the life or death of Song Baoshi, she felt very guilty.

After all, Song Baoshi had also come to seek vengeance for her, yet she had disregarded his wellbeing, leaving him alone at the scene severely injured, subject to the cold stares and mockery of onlookers, which was truly impolite.

But with her noble status and extraordinary beauty, how could she endure lowering herself to marry such a worthless man? Even if Song Baoshi were to take over the Song Family, he would not be worthy of her.

So, after a brief moment of guilt, she let it go.

Now, she had shifted her search to outstanding disciples from major sects; she was determined to find a martial arts boyfriend or husband with high prowess to wash away the humiliation she had suffered today.

This change in mentality stemmed from her former ignorance. Now, after learning some basic facts about the Cultivation World, she realized where the true powerhouses resided.
