She still needs to stabilize it and master her secret technique.

She then shook her head. What matters is finding out what really happened. But since her Master told her to stay at her abode, her options are limited.

She can use a one-time talisman to send a message to her family, but it\'s better kept for an emergency. So her other choice is to wait for the maid, then make her a messenger.

LinHua then continued to cultivate. As the moon set and the sun rose from the west, a woman in plain clothes and appearance came bowing toward LinHua with a polite smile, "Greetings, miss, my name is JiaNu. I am here to take care of your needs."

LinHua opened her eyes from meditation and gave a nod. "Just call me LinHua. Do you know the situation with my family?"

"Yes, Miss LinHua, your family is growing quickly now. Despite some bad rumors, they keep expanding their business."

"That is good news. What about the bad rumors?"

JiaNu hesitated at LinHua\'s question. Seeing this, LinHua urged her to just tell everything she knew.

With reluctance, JiaNu replied, "The most famous one is the rumor where your mother is said to have had an affair.

Every day, it keeps getting exaggerated. Some even say that in reality, Miss, you are the daughter of the Xueqi patriarch. That is why the Hua family go that far."

Hearing this, LinHua\'s qi started to spread, making JiaNu flinch before quickly bowing her upper body, asking for forgiveness.

After calming down, LinHua ordered her to send some messages to her family. JiaNu nodded and left to do her task while LinHua continued practicing her secret technique.

Time passed, and the sunset painted the sky in an orange hue. JiaNu returned, giving the response from the Hua family.

Reading all the messages, LinHua felt relieved.

Her father said there were no problems, and they also didn\'t know who destroyed the Xueqi family. But since it brought many benefits, they decided to not clarify it.

The rest only detailed the benefits they got from the rumor. Inside the mail, her father also put a storage ring, inside of which were a dozen medium-grade qi crystals with a hundred low-grade qi crystals.

This made LinHua feel elated.

With a smile, she then said, "Good job, JiaNu... While you were there, did you find anything weird?"

"Weird?" JiaNu put a finger on her chin.

After some time, she replied, "I did hear it seems your parents are having some relationship problems.

Your father, the Patriarch, seems to always sleep outside now, while your mother rarely spends time at home."

This made LinHua frown.

It was not the first time her mother did that, but she could count on one hand how many times that happened when she still lived there. And every time it happened, it meant they had a big fight.

\'What makes them fight like this?\' she thought. LinHua then sought more confirmation from JiaNu.

"I talked with some maids while waiting for the response from the Patriarch. They say they overheard one of the fights.

It seems your parents had a fight over the rumor. The Patriarch has become paranoid about your mom. Your mom\'s face also became angry when the Patriarch mentioned your birth."

"What? Are you sure about that?"

"Well, that is what they say."

This made LinHua\'s heart beat faster, and her hand turned into a fist. She knew her mom had a habit of becoming angry when asked something she didn\'t want to say.

\'If that is fake, why does she need to get angry like that? If it\'s just my father becoming paranoid, that is not weird, but even mom...\' LinHua thought.

She then said, "Tomorrow, you send another message to that place. While you\'re at it, find more information."

JiaNu bowed in respect, accepting the task. LinHua then returned to her practice.

A few days passed peacefully like this. JiaNu kept going back and forth to the Hua family, looking for information that LinHua asked for.

Every time LinHua heard the news, her emotions became more and more unstable. Based on the rumors and small clues she picked up, her mother seemed really hiding something.

\'Did she really have an affair? Then, did my father find out and attack the Xueqi family?

Is that why she felt reluctant when I proposed the idea to trap MingYue?\' LinHua thought to herself.

Based on what JiaNu told her, the fight between her parents kept escalating every day.

Just two days ago, they had another fight. Her father then left the estate and never returned till now. Even though her family kept growing in power, their relationship kept getting worse and worse.

Seeing LinHua\'s pale face, the maid asked, "Are you alright, Miss LinHua?"

"Hmph, would you be alright if you were me? All these stupid rumors spreading around, just what are these people thinking?"

"It\'s normal, Miss. The higher you rise, the more people will gossip about your family."

"Rise? You don\'t know anything, JiaNu. Even with all the growth, if I cannot become a golden core cultivator in a year, our family is finished!"

"A golden core cultivator? Isn\'t that stronger than our sect leader?"

LinHua sighed, "It seems you have some understanding of cultivation levels. Yes, it\'s all because of my parents, well, part of it is my fault too.

There are many reasons, but you don\'t need to know the details. Basically, our family has some conflict with a clan from another region, and their leader gave us time before having a tournament between us. The winner survives; the loser dies."

"Does that clan have a golden core cultivator?"
