Chapter 173
Meng Fan could clearly sense that Ye Qingyu was in a bad mood.
Given the situation and the fact that they were at someone else's doorstep, he naturally had to give Ye Qingyu some face.
So, he didn't dwell on Ye Qingyu's attitude.
But his intuition told him that Ye Qingyu's relationship with her family wasn't great.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have this attitude as soon as she got home.
However, this was none of Meng Fan's business, so he naturally wouldn't meddle.
The old servant quickly ushered Ye Qingyu and Meng Fan into the Ye family estate.
Ye Qingyu naturally went to her own room, while Meng Fan was assigned to a guest room.
Meng Fan stayed alone in the guest room for a while. Seeing that Ye Qingyu hadn't come to find him, he decided to head to her room.
He wasn't here as a guest; the sooner he finished his business, the sooner he could leave. He didn't want to stay in the Ye family estate for too long.
Before he even reached Ye Qingyu's door, just as he entered the courtyard, he heard the voice of a middle-aged woman.
"I told you clearly last time, bring back a hundred top-grade Spirit Stones for your brother's cultivation. And you only brought ten? What do you mean by that? Are you trying to brush us off?
Qingshan is your brother, not some stranger. I am your mother! You think you can brush us off with just this? Are you even human? You unfilial daughter..."
Meng Fan stood in the courtyard, his brows furrowing.
It was obvious that the woman speaking was Ye Qingyu's mother.
But the content of her words was quite "unsightly."
If a sister willingly supports her brother out of affection, there's nothing to say about that.
But if parents force their daughter to be a "brother-supporter," that's absolutely over the line.
It's like on Earth, the phrase "favoring sons over daughters" can cause a huge uproar because many such situations are indeed outrageous!
"A hundred top-grade Spirit Stones, haha," Meng Fan muttered to himself, unable to hide the sarcasm and ridicule in his tone.
Do you know what a hundred top-grade Spirit Stones mean?
How could this woman even dare to ask for that?
That's equivalent to ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones!
Enough for Meng Fan to comprehend the Sword God Stele for ten days and nights.
For disciples of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, it's an astronomical number!!!
Asking for a hundred Spirit Stones is like a vampire's demand.
Ye Qingyu's whole body trembled, her fists clenched tightly.
Unfilial?
Not human?
Heartless?
Haha...
She used True Qi to evaporate the tears that couldn't stop flowing from her eyes, not letting herself cry.
Meng Fan couldn't stand it anymore. He stepped forward and said to the woman, "Whether I lend Spirit Stones or not, you should ask me, not Senior Sister Ye. After all, Senior Sister Ye can't make decisions for me!"
The woman quickly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, this young brother, don't worry. As long as you're willing to lend Spirit Stones, Xiaoyu will definitely return them to you when she gets back to Shu Mountain."
Meng Fan coldly said, "So, are the Spirit Stones for you or for Senior Sister Ye?"
The woman immediately said, "For me, just give them to me!"
"If they're for you, then why should Senior Sister Ye return them?" Meng Fan's tone was filled with disdain.
"Xiaoyu is my daughter. Isn't it only natural?" The woman said righteously.
Meng Fan let out a long breath through his nose, feeling impatient and unwilling to deal with this woman any longer.
"Senior Sister Ye, we should get going. The sooner we finish our business, the sooner we can return to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect," he said, turning to Ye Qingyu.
The woman panicked when she heard Meng Fan was leaving.
She quickly grabbed Ye Qingyu and said, "Xiaoyu, can you really bear to see your brother be a waste for his entire life? Without Spirit Stones, he can't grow at all."
With a mother like you, he really can't grow up!!
Meng Fan couldn't stand it anymore. He pulled Ye Qingyu over and coldly looked at the woman.
"Listen up, I won't lend you my Spirit Stones. If I did, you'd have the guts to take them, but not the life to spend them!"
With that, Meng Fan drew the Hong Qi Sword and slashed at the ground in front of the woman.
In an instant, a bottomless pit appeared at the woman's feet.
As Ye Qingyu's mother, she naturally found it difficult to confront her.
But Meng Fan wasn't so polite!
If this woman pushed him too far, he couldn't guarantee he wouldn't cut her down with one strike.
At that point, he wouldn't care about Ye Qingyu's feelings!
"Are you threatening me?" The woman's face changed.
