Chapter 524 Departure
"It's entirely possible that Xiao Luobin was behind Shi Que's death."

As Wei Xi pondered, he organized his thoughts on paper. "Xiao Luobin escaped from the Abyss outside Deadwater City. He has only three options: first, to strictly follow Zuo Fei's plan; second, to be captured by the Weaver of Heaven and either die or turn to the Heavenly Dao; and third, to hide his identity and survive."

"No matter which possibility it is, Xiao Luobin will keep an eye on news from the Bone Reef Sea, and Shi Que may very well be exposed like this."

"In order to protect himself, Xiao Luobin might very well take action against him, especially since the two are no longer related by marriage at this point, and have even less to worry about."

"The two were old acquaintances, and Shi Que was completely unprepared, which is why he died."

Wei Xi thought about it more and more and it made more sense; she was about 80% sure about the matter.

"I wonder what Shi Que discovered in the Bone Reef Sea that made him rush to Baoxiang City."

Although this incident caused Wei Xi some trouble back then, at the time her attention was focused on getting Lian Gou to work for Qin Feng at the Qingcheng Sect, and she didn't delve into the details of the case.

Fortunately, Wei Xi had her "true self" within her, and she once again activated "Growth Rings" to examine the relevant memories.

"Shi Que's target is the mirror eye, which should be the [thread].

Thinking of this, Wei Xi frowned: after obtaining the Dao of Cause and Effect, she now sees everything as an intertwined plant root system, and touching any one thing could cause a chain reaction.

"But the secret realm outside Baoxiang City is most likely left behind by my future self."

This is evidenced by both the "threads" and the original appearance of the giant statue.

Looking back now, those "little tricks" really were my style.

Wei Xi grinned, thinking that the bone dolls were really good, and the silk cocoons with their excellent digestive function were even better.

Then, remembering the origin of the secret realm, Wei suddenly stood up.

"Cultivators divide their Qi Palace to form secret realms! My future self will sever my Qi Palace!"

Wei Xihuan was in pain, clutching his dantian and wincing.

Good news: the future Wei Xi will at least have the cultivation level of Fengdao; bad news: the future self will have to divide his Qi Palace and sever the [Pulling Silk].

The worse news is that Wei Xi has no idea how he did it.

There's no way to defy fate or change one's destiny.

"One thing is certain: in the future, I will be absolutely irreconcilable with the Heavenly Dao."

The feeling of being spied on enveloped Wei Xi once again, fully demonstrating that having too much imagination is not always a good thing.

This feeling of being surrounded by enemies made Wei Xi even more miserable. In the end, he could only put away the clues he had organized and fall asleep haphazardly.

The next day, Wei Xi, in a daze, put on the [Enemy Wind] and failed to control his spiritual power. He rushed straight out and smashed a human-shaped hole in the house built by Elder Niu and Ma.

If Wei Xi hadn't been a cultivator, he would probably have been annihilated.

"What a commotion this morning! Someone help! Xiao Wei fell down! Help!"

The fellow disciple shouted passionately, and the entire Qingcheng Sect was awakened by his shout. Even cultivators from several nearby sects peeked out to watch the excitement.

Wei Xi, lying on her back: Thank you! Actually, Wei Xi herself is quite famous among her peers: after all, she showed her fierce side on the arena, and then fought against the Devouring Sun Beast. For this, she even studied in the Yin Yang Slope Prison for two years. After being released from prison, she didn't have a moment of peace and then ran into the Devouring Sea Sect massacre. She escaped from the Bone Reef Sea unscathed and brought back many of the cultivators' relics.

It would be difficult for someone like her not to become famous, especially with Qin Feng, who is both powerful and incredibly handsome, always by her side. This only amplified her fame.

In the short time it took Wei Xi to get up, her keen ears had already caught keywords such as "Qingcheng Sect", "unlucky guy", "he's mute" and "be careful of her revenge". Even though her skin was as thick as a city wall, it was as red as a sunset.

"Are you alright, Wei Xi? What happened to you?"

The senior students who arrived dispersed the onlookers, while the rest ran over to check on Wei Xi.

"It's nothing. I was practicing runes and couldn't control my spiritual power. I was moving too fast and rushed out. I'm fine, but I damaged the house."

Xie Yingying comforted her, "The house is a small matter. It's better to let Tang Yi take a look at it. Wouldn't it be a great suffering if your internal organs were damaged?"

Wei Xi's objections were ineffective, so he had to let Senior Sister Tang examine his pulse. Fortunately, Tang Yi had not yet formed her core, so he could not tell that her cultivation level was different, and only said that she had no internal injuries.

"However," Tang Yi, who was with the three of them, reminded them after the crowd dispersed, "Wei Xi, you're overthinking things. Your spleen won't be able to handle it in the long run. You're still so young and don't know how dangerous this place is. If you develop inner demons later, it will be even more troublesome."

Tang Yi wasn't the first medical cultivator to say that, so Wei Xi could only smile wryly.

"Don't take this lightly," Tang Yi said, her tone becoming more serious. "If this continues, it will shorten your lifespan!"

"Senior Sister," Lian Gouyan said quickly, sensing the tense atmosphere, "We understand, we will definitely keep a close eye on Wei Xi! Do you think we could prescribe some medicine to relieve her depression? We'll do it both ways!"

"Do you take me for Wei An? Every medicine has its side effects; you can't just take this stuff anywhere."

After giving Lian Gouyan a stern scolding, Tang Yi pointed to the colorful Dream Orange in Wei Xi's room and instructed, "If all else fails, just put this in the bedroom. Go to bed early at night, eat a light and regular diet, and don't overeat. Every little bit helps."

Wei Xi thanked Senior Sister Tang, who was busy helping to break camp and didn't stay long.

"What exactly happened to you? Or did someone attack you?"

Qin Feng's eyebrows furrowed, and she grabbed Gao Han, ready to go and apprehend the culprit, clearly assuming that Wei Xi had been beaten out of the room.

Wei Xi simply shook his head, made a restoration spell to repair the hole, and rearranged the various spells and talismans. Only then did he explain that he hadn't been paying attention and had been pushed out by [Enemy Wind].

"Your soft armor?" Qin Feng was skeptical. "That shouldn't have allowed you to run that far. Don't keep anything from me and shoulder it all alone. Didn't you hear me worrying too much?"

Seeing his two friends looking at him as if he were facing a formidable enemy, Wei Xi was both amused and exasperated—was he really that precious? Could he really be so worried that he would die?
"It's really nothing. This soft armor was given to me by my master. The leather is made from the Cloud-Stepping Two-Horned Antelope. This kind of spirit beast lives in Yanyuntian and is extremely swift. It is the best material for making armor to increase speed. It is no exaggeration to say that it is as swift as the wind."

"I wasn't paying attention when I woke up this morning, and my spiritual energy overflowed, triggering the [Enemy Wind], which is why I rushed out."

"Elder Xianhua's craftsmanship?" Lian Gouhan exclaimed, "It is indeed a fine treasure. If we can't win in the future, we can still run away."

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Xiao Xi, now that you've reached the Core Formation stage, can you also refine similar magical artifacts? I'll prepare the materials and labor costs for you; please make me one!"

Wei Xi was drenched in sweat and admitted that he could now make some magical artifacts, but he still needed to practice slowly to reach Xian Hua's level.

Because of this sentence, Wei Xi was forced to cultivate by Qin Feng and entered a period of cultivation frenzy.

At the same time of day, the group of cultivators who had stayed in Dongyi for several days finally set off.

Wei Xi: Me?
