Chapter 244 Between Father and Daughter
"Our ancestor perished in just one night. How can I not be suspicious? If it were Father, would you believe it was a coincidence?"

Wei Lingyue was stunned by his eldest daughter's explanation. He hadn't expected that the ancestor valued Yun Qing so much, even finding a Nascent Soul True Monarch as a teacher for his eldest daughter. If that was the case, his daughter did have reason to be suspicious.

Du Ruolan, who was standing to the side, was initially overjoyed, but then her expression turned to regret and annoyance. She felt that the ancestor had died at the worst possible time; he should have waited until her daughter had become a disciple before he died.

Wei Lingyue's thoughts were surprisingly in sync with Du Ruolan's at this moment, and he said regretfully:
"Yun Qing, has the Ancestor told you which True Lord you are to take as your master?"

Yun Qing frowned and shook her head, saying:
"The ancestor didn't mention it, he just told me to prepare in the next two days."

After hearing Yun Qing's answer, the room fell silent. Now, not only Yun Qing suspected that the ancestor's death was suspicious, but Wei Lingyue also had the same suspicion.

Du Ruolan did not go to the council hall and was unaware that the matter of the ancestor's demise had been settled, so she spoke directly:

"Since there are suspicions, let's continue investigating. We're sure to find some clues."

Wei Lingyue shook his head and said:

"Yun Qing did not inform me beforehand and brought back fellow disciples and magical treasures on her own. After repeated inspections, it has been confirmed that the ancestor perished after his lifespan was exhausted."

The medical cultivator Master Chen and Senior Brother Yun Qing's investigations yielded the same results; the matter is already settled. How can it be overturned? Even if we want to overturn this conclusion, we need evidence!

Yun Qing frowned. She felt that things shouldn't be developing this way. Ancestor Nanfeng should have been her greatest help, but now that the ancestor had passed away, the patriarch wanted to invite Ancestor Chenyin, who had no connection with her, back to the family to take charge. This was very disadvantageous for her.

But my senior brother invited it himself. The Mirror of Reversal is a magic treasure of the sect. Everything that is reversed is true and cannot be faked. So where is the problem?
Wei Yunqing, unwilling to give up, asked:
"Father, had the Ancestor met with Yunxi alone before this?"

After thinking for a moment, Wei Lingyue said:
"No, when we first arrived in Haoran City, it was Yunxi and the others who came to pick us up."

Later, when Yunxi met the Ancestor, your second uncle and I were both present. It wasn't until your second uncle achieved Core Formation that she returned with Zong Jin to celebrate. Then she visited the Ancestor alone once—the time the Mirror of Rewind appeared—but she didn't do anything!

Yun Qing continued to ask:

"Is what she said about the longevity elixir true?"

"It's true. She took the initiative to suggest it when we first met. She said she had obtained the inheritance of the Immortal Medicine Sect, found the Longevity Fruit, and asked True Lord Fire Control to refine the Longevity Pill."

Something seemed to flash through Yun Qing's mind, and she immediately said:

"I remember when we were in Kunyu City, the Ancestor looked very old. How did he suddenly become so young? I thought he had taken a longevity pill, but it seems that's not the case. So how did the Ancestor regain his youth?"

"I know about this. At that time, Yunxi gave the ancestor a bottle of 'Rejuvenation Elixir' in order to make him patiently wait for the Longevity Pill and to prove that what she said was true. It is said to be a unique medicine of the Medical Immortal Sect that can make cultivators rejuvenate and stay young forever."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qing's eyes lit up dramatically. She was certain there was something wrong with the "Rejuvenating Elixir" and immediately pressed for details:

"Our ancestor became like this after taking this 'Rejuvenation Elixir.' Didn't you suspect that there was something wrong with the medicine?"

Wei Lingyue shook his head and said:

"No, Yunxi gave the potion to Ancestor Nanfeng in front of me and your second uncle. If there really was a problem, wouldn't she be afraid we would tell everyone? Besides, Ancestor Nanfeng's cultivation is above hers. If there's a problem with the potion, he would definitely notice. Moreover, the Ancestor took it on the spot, and the effect was immediate and very obvious. I was even a little tempted at the time, but unfortunately Yunxi said that she couldn't refine a second batch in a short time because many of the spiritual flowers used in the Rejuvenation Elixir have disappeared in the Weiyu Realm."

Yun Qing's eyes grew brighter as she listened, but in the end, her face twisted as she said:

“Father, I’m sure there’s something wrong with that medicine. It might be a slow-acting poison, but neither the Ancestor nor you recognized it. Don’t forget that she inherited the Medical Immortal Sect’s legacy. How could a sect not have some trump cards up its sleeve, like this kind of poison that kills without leaving a trace, leaving us with no evidence? This is a cunning scheme!”

Du Ruolan and Wei Lingyue felt a chill run down their spines after hearing Yun Qing's explanation. If what their eldest daughter said was true, then Yun Xi was terrifying.

"So what do we do now? Is this just your speculation, or is there no evidence?"

To be honest, Wei Lingyue didn't dare to provoke Yun Xi without being absolutely certain of his success. He knew very well that he had no standing in his second daughter's heart, and if he touched her sore spot, Yun Xi would definitely settle both old and new scores, and he was afraid he wouldn't be able to handle it.

Yun Qing clenched and unclenched her fists repeatedly, and after a long while, she calmed herself and said in a deep voice:
"Ancestor Nanfeng cannot have died in vain. I will definitely find the evidence."

Du Ruolan, however, dissuaded her:
"Yun Qing, she is now a Golden Core cultivator. If she wants to attack you secretly, you definitely won't be able to defend against it. You must not act rashly. These are all your speculations and may not be the truth."

Yun Qing waved her hand and said:
"Don't worry, Mother. I know what's important and won't confront you head-on."

Her tone was somewhat stiff; she disliked her mother repeatedly emphasizing that her cultivation was inferior to Yunxi's.

Seeing that the time was right, Wei Lingyue spoke:

“Yun Qing, your second uncle has already formed his core, and I am only one Golden Core away from advancing to the next level. Can you help my father?”
"Once I reach the Core Formation stage, I can compete with your second uncle for the position of family head, which will also help you secure more family resources and indirectly restrain Yunxi. This will benefit both of us."

Yun Qing hadn't expected her father to make this request. Her lips curled into a low smile as she spoke indifferently:

“Father, if you want to form your Golden Core, you shouldn’t come to me. You should go to Sister Yunxi. She is now a direct disciple of the Haoran Sect and a Golden Core cultivator. The knowledge she has is enough for you to form your Golden Core.”

Wei Lingyue smiled awkwardly and said:
"Do you think Father didn't mention it to her? She resents me for favoring you when we were young, so she found an excuse to reject me. I've given up on her."

Wei Yunqing sneered:

“Father, you know that I haven’t even formed my core yet, and I’m still saving up spirit stones to buy one. If you have the spirit stones ready, I will help you purchase a Golden Core from the Inner Sect Mission Hall.”

Upon hearing that it would cost spirit stones, Wei Lingyue's face showed strong resistance, and he said somewhat displeased:
"Yun Qing, you have clearly cultivated a high-level spiritual plant that can help cultivators break through a major realm, so why can't you help your father this once?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yunqing's heart skipped a beat, her face contorted for a moment, and then she asked:

"Who told you I cultivated a high-level spiritual plant? Was it Wei Yunxi?"

Wei Lingyue denied it:

"It was the disciples of the Haoran Sect who said that the reason you became a disciple of True Monarch Yu Huo was because of your ability to cultivate spiritual plants. Yun Xi can't be relied on because I really don't care about her. But you have received my favoritism since you were a child, and you are unwilling to help your father even once?"
