The hypocritical meeting 1

Amidst the humiliation, onlooking servants and guards seethed with anger at their abusive young masters, helpless due to their lowly status.

Meng Xi who is heartless and does not care about the life of a low maid launches the fireball at them.

Closing her eyes and dropping tight onto Meng Xiao's clothes Luo Li prepare to die.

As the fireball came closer, Meng Xiao lifted her hands and cast a huge shield made of water.

The shield stood like an unshakeable fortress and covered almost half of the training ground.

As soon as the fire touches the shield, it vanishes without a trace.

Meng Yang was shocked but Meng Xi was even more shocked, She us also a magic user and to cast such a powerful spell requires enough time and mental energy. Even she can't it. The fireball she did is the result of her combining all her power and also some portion of her spirit beast.

Only a once in a once-in-a-generation genius could achieve such a shocking feat but Meng Xiao did it. What is even more shocking is that she did it within seconds.

The spectacle left Meng Yang and Meng Xi bewildered, their certainty shattered as they stared in disbelief at the young woman who had defied their expectations in an instant. All this occurred within seconds

As soon as the fireball touches the shield, it creates a mini earthquake which sends the two unruly cousins flying ten meters from their initial position.

Before the maids and guards could get to them, they had already passed out.

Meng Xiao started burning up, who knew that casting such a powerful spell would drain her this much?

Not being able to handle it she also passed out just like her cousin.

Seeing the young miss in her embrace fall, the young girl who had her eyes shut awaiting the evil hands of death looked at them with a fearful expression as she shouted "The young miss is dead"

Later that day in Meng Xiao's room.

Meng Xiao lay on the bed with her body power drained. She felt sore all over her body and lifting a finger was hard.

A warm bath and meal with the assistance of her maid lessen the pain.

As Meng Xiao decided to return to sleep, she was informed by her other maid about the meeting in the Meng family meeting chamber.

However, Shen Tao's treatment of Meng Xiao was far from the deference expected, revealing a hidden dynamic beneath the surface.

the presence of Meng Xiao's pig-like face, a wave of disgust sweeps over her, exacerbated by the mere thought of serving someone as repugnant as Meng Xiao. However, her favour lies with the other young Miss 'Meng Xi,' whose beauty rivals that of a graceful swan.

Meanwhile, Meng Xiao's frustration boils over as she finds herself obligated to attend a meeting while still nursing her injuries. "This world is a complete mess," she grumbles inwardly, her reluctance to leave her bed palpable.

But fate has different plans for her, as Shen Tao's unceremonious intervention rips her from her bed like a captured animal, dragging her to the impending meeting.

During this unwelcome journey orchestrated by Shen Tao, a realization dawns on Meng Xiao. In her previous existence as a goddess, her cultivation merely enhanced her combat prowess. In contrast, the present world enables most cultivators to hone martial arts or harness potent spiritual powers for elemental spells, including fire, water, wind, earth, and wood manipulation—a revelation that sparks an impish grin on Meng Xiao's lips.

Observing this transformation, Shen Tao is left flabbergasted. "Is the young miss out of her mind?" she wonders, her thoughts racing.

Upon reaching the meeting hall's entrance, Shen Tao relinquishes Meng Xiao to the guards, who escort her inside.

As Meng Xiao enters the venue, an onslaught of deathly glares and furious stares greets her from all angles. These eyes exude disdain, contempt, and pure anger—emanating from her grandpa, her uncle, and her bandaged cousins, who resemble mummies. Their voices are their sole identifying trait, rendering the proud cousins a pitiable sight. Mocking voices from their other cousins intensify their humiliation, igniting a deep desire for vengeance against Meng Xiao, the supposed source of their misery.

In this tense sea of hostility, Meng Xiao spots other third-generation members of the Meng family, including a vaguely familiar yet distant face—her father, Meng Yan, absent for two years due to missions.

Meng Yan, having learned of the afternoon's incident from an eyewitness maid, rushes to the family meeting hall. His early arrival prevents his beloved daughter from enduring the family's wrath alone.

If murderous glares could cause death, Meng Xiao would have perished countless times by now.

Amid this electric atmosphere, Meng Xiao feels as if the meeting's purpose has shifted into a judgment day. The unease settles within her like a shroud.

Thunder-like in its intensity, Grandpa's voice, at his venerable 85 years, booms, "What business had you at the training grounds?"

Resolute, Meng Yan interjects, directing his anger towards his nephew and niece, Yang and Xi, who had caused Meng Xiao grievous injuries.

However, Grandpa's gaze remains locked on Meng Xiao as he demands her answer.

Not allowing Meng Yan's explanation to dissuade her, Meng Xiao speaks up, highlighting Yang and Xi's unprovoked attack and the subsequent backlash she suffered. Her assertion that the cousins be punished as per clan law rattles the room.

Meng Yang's roar of denial reverberates, his pride stung by this unprecedented humiliation.

Unyielding, Meng Xiao counters, pointing out the truth—had her protective shield not held, she would have been incinerated, her plea for justice echoing through the hall.

Amid this verbal clash, Grandpa Su's surprise blooms. The former Meng Xiao would have never dared to meet his gaze, let alone retort. Her newfound strength captivates him—a quality he values in the lineage of a warlord.

As a warlord and former royal army commander, Grandpa Su struggles to reconcile the spineless nature of his descendants. He prefers those who defy the odds, who rise above. The old man's heart stirs with a mixture of emotions, overshadowing the lingering tension.

As a warlord and the former commander of the royal army, he is embarrassed to show his descendants to his old buddies. How can the children of a war maniac have no backbone this made him upset.

The only one who proved worthy to him was his third son Meng Yan who was the best among his children and his most favoured one.

It is only a pity that he destroyed his bright future to save his good-for-nothing daughter who is a disgrace to the family's reputation.

The sharp tongue meng Xiao caused an uproar in the meeting. No one had ever dared to talk to grandfather in such a manner and even Meng Xiao's father was surprised "Where is his ever so gentle and calm girl" In just two years she became a total stranger to him. She becomes a vicious snake who is ready to bite anyone who dares mess with her.

Just how much has she suffered to become strong-headed?

All this lasted for a few seconds before a satisfying smile surfaced on his face. At least she has grown up, even though she can't fight back she can use her vicious tongue to get back at them.

Meng Xiao who did not know her few sentences was a massive shock to everyone in the room.
