Chapter 242 The truth of the past

Yunxi immediately noticed the change in Wei Chenyin's expression and asked in a deep voice:
"Senior sister, do you know this person?"

Wei Chenyin pursed her lips and said:

“I would recognize him even if he turned to ashes. This is the Zuoqiu Zhenjun I told you about. Wei Nanfeng was able to return to his family unscathed because he vouched for him.”

Yunxi raised an eyebrow, secretly glad that she acted quickly and gave Wei Nanfeng a bottle of "Huayan" on the first day he arrived in Haoran City. Otherwise, she didn't know how the old man would sell her after he reconnected with his old "friends"!

Wei Chenyin clearly understood Wei Nanfeng better than Yun Xi. She seemed to have thought of something and turned to say:
“Yunxi, Zuoqiu Zhenjun is not so easily invited. That old man Wei Nanfeng invited him to the new clan's territory, so he must have something to ask of him. Moreover, he must have offered Zuoqiu Zhenjun a reward that would tempt him, otherwise Zuoqiu Zhenjun would not have shown up so easily.”

Upon hearing this, Yunxi's mind began to race. Zuoqiu Zhenjun was clearly a connection to Wei Nanfeng. After the Wei family moved to Haoran City, Nanfeng's ancestor contacted him, undoubtedly wanting to have another powerful backer.

However, the Wei family already had two True Lords, Yu Ling and Yu Feng, as their backers, which was more than enough. Yet he still contacted True Lord Zuo Qiu, clearly indicating that he had other intentions. Yun Xi could only think of paving the way for Wei Yunqing.

Based on what Wei Yunqing said earlier, that she received a message talisman from Ancestor Nanfeng the day before Wei Nanfeng's death, it is reasonable for her to firmly believe that there was something fishy about the Ancestor's death.

According to the time sequence in the Retrospective Mirror, Wei Nanfeng learned from her that he could obtain the Longevity Pill. He then sent a message to Zuoqiu Zhenjun. The next day, Zuoqiu Zhenjun came at his invitation. She had no idea what the two talked about, but after Zuoqiu Zhenjun left, Wei Nanfeng sent two communication talismans.

Yunxi is now certain that one of the instructions was sent to Wei Yunqing, but only Wei Yunqing knows what she was asked to do with it.

However, Yunxi boldly speculated that Wei Nanfeng must have persuaded Zuoqiu Zhenjun to accept Wei Yunqing as his disciple. In this way, even if Yunqing herself was not strong enough, she would still have the protection of a Nascent Soul stage master, and Wei Yunqing would be able to fight against her. Wei Nanfeng could then use Yunqing to restrain her and achieve the purpose of balance.

Yunxi told Wei Chenyin her speculation, and the other party sneered after hearing it:
"After hearing what you said, I'm pretty sure this is something Wei Nanfeng would do. He doesn't like things getting out of his control, especially when it comes to an outstanding junior like you. He won't allow you to challenge his authority."

Yunxi shook her head and said:

“A family certainly cannot have only one voice, but the premise for allowing two voices to coexist is that it can help the family develop better. But obviously Wei Nanfeng doesn’t think that way.”

He not only wouldn't tolerate any voices other than his own, but he also only considered his own interests and his own path to immortality. If this continued, his family would surely become a stepping stone for his ascension. His demise would actually be a good thing for the family.

Wei Chenyin nodded in agreement:

“Yunxi, you’re right. He wanted to use me as a stepping stone. The ‘Supreme True Essence Conversion Technique’ that I obtained by chance was just a pretext for him to cause trouble. He not only wanted to get my cultivation technique for free, but also wanted to give me to True Monarch Zuoqiu as a furnace to exchange for resources for his own advancement to the Golden Core stage.”

Unfortunately, I was willing to risk everything and directly offered the cultivation technique to the sect, on the condition that his cultivation be crippled. He had no choice but to ask True Monarch Zuoqiu for help.

Zuoqiu Zhenjun didn't want to ruin his reputation, so he seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with Wei Nanfeng, which is why he stepped in to protect him, only expelling him from the sect.

Afterwards, Zuoqiu Zhenjun met with me and said that it was Wei Nanfeng who took the initiative to propose that I become his concubine. He also implied that I, Wei Chenyin, admired him and wanted to find a backer to get rid of some unnecessary entanglements.

He believed Wei Nanfeng's story, which led to the subsequent events. He didn't want to be misunderstood or have his reputation tarnished, so he specifically sought me out to explain, assuring me that no one could make things difficult for me unless I wanted to.” Yun Xi sipped her spirit wine while listening to the bombshell Wei Chenyin dropped. She knew things weren't as simple as the Wei family head made them out to be. Now that Wei Nanfeng was dead, Wei Chenyin, as one of the parties involved, had taken the initiative to reveal the truth.

Moreover, Yunxi was certain that what Wei Chenyin said was absolutely true, which explained why she was so happy about Wei Nanfeng's death.

However, Yunxi still raised her own questions:

"Senior Sister Chenyin, do you believe True Lord Zuoqiu's explanation?"

Wei Chenyin smiled sarcastically:

"Whether you believe it or not doesn't matter; this is just a way for us to save face."

It's not impossible that Zuoqiu wanted to take me, a promising cultivator, as a cultivation vessel. Wei Nanfeng was just trying to please him. However, Haoran Sect is an orthodox cultivation sect. Even if they really wanted to find a cultivation vessel, they wouldn't do it so openly, especially without my knowledge. In the end, Wei Nanfeng had to suffer the consequences.

After he returned to the family and advanced to the Golden Core stage, I severed ties with the family. I never showed favoritism to any of his preferred juniors. By the time he advanced to the Golden Core stage, I had already formed my own. He couldn't overpower me in terms of strength, so he could only choose to ignore me. I, on the other hand, focused solely on cultivation and didn't give him any opportunity to leverage my influence.

After hearing this, Yunxi put down her wine glass, her almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, and she smiled, revealing a pair of dimples.
“Senior Sister Chenyin, you did the right thing. You made him hate you to death but couldn’t kill you. Then he watched your cultivation level rise higher and higher, and the gap between you widened. Meanwhile, the entire clan was begging for your return. You are the one who laughs last. He is just a handful of dust.”

After hearing this, Wei Chenyin laughed heartily:
"Yunxi, you're right. I'm the real winner. He's nothing now!"

Wei Chenyin's hearty laughter echoed through the cave, and then the surrounding spiritual energy surged toward the smiling woman.

Yunxi realized that Wei Chenyin was about to advance in rank, so she waved her sleeve and placed a pile of mid-grade spirit stones beside him. Then she quickly flashed out of the cave, raised her hand and set up a fourth-order array plate at the entrance of the cave, before sitting down cross-legged to protect him.

Dian Dian then cautiously peeked out and said:

"Master, how come this woman advanced in rank while laughing? Did you help her?"

Yun Xi shook his head and said:
"The credit doesn't go entirely to me. I estimate that she had been trying to break through the barrier of the late Golden Core stage before I arrived. In addition, she received the good news of Wei Nanfeng's death, which relaxed her mind. She also vented about how Wei Nanfeng had harmed her back then. I was completely on her side, which made her feel that she was not alone and helpless. Once her inner knot was untied, she naturally broke through."

Dian Dian twitched his mustache and said:
"It seems she still cares a lot about what happened back then."

"Of course, she didn't do it voluntarily, and she was almost sent to the True Lord's bed to become a furnace. Any cultivator would have a knot in their heart, but she has handled it very well."

Dian Dian suddenly asked:

"Master, if you were in her situation, what would you do?"
