'Xiao Man had to admire Gongsun Ruxue. With such a low cultivation level, she still dared to run over and plot against me. Relying on her family's ancestral Concealment Technique, she was a wolf in sheep's clothing. I was just extra cautious and kept my distance; if I'd been a bit more oblivious, I might have actually fallen for her trick. But what then? Wasn't she afraid I'd come looking to settle the score? The Third Level of Qi Refining against an eighth-layer cultivator... her death would be gruesome, unless she had some other Protective Dharma Treasure.'
When Gongsun Ruxue had first invited Xiao Man to her house, she had briefly mentioned her family members: a grandfather, her parents, and a few cousins. Presumably, they all had some level of cultivation.
