Chapter 245 A Glorious Return
Upon hearing this, Wei Yunqing didn't respond at all, but instead pressed for an answer:
"Father, tell me, who told you this? Do you know how much trouble this will cause me if it gets out?"

Wei Lingyue's eyes flickered for a moment, then he spoke:

"We've been in Haoran City for a while now, so it's impossible for us not to gather information. Most of the disciples of Haoran Sect come to the city to exchange for cultivation supplies, and their families also collect information from outside."

"I got this news from an inner disciple of the Haoran Sect. I believe there's no smoke without fire, and since you're skilled in cultivating spiritual plants, the news must be true."

Wei Yunqing didn't believe Wei Lingyue's words at all. At this moment, she no longer thought about finding evidence that Yunxi had harmed the ancestor. She quickly turned cold, got up, and prepared to return to the sect. She wanted to investigate how the news had been leaked and who else besides Senior Brother Li knew about her cultivation of the Enlightenment Fruit Tree.

Wei Yunqing left the Wei family without even saying goodbye, which infuriated Wei Lingyue, who blamed Du Ruolan for not teaching her daughter well.

Du Ruolan lowered her eyes and did not respond. Her daughter was her only support. She had long recognized that Wei Lingyue was selfish, hypocritical, and unreliable, so why would she do anything to upset her daughter?

Feixia's message ended when Wei Yunqing left the Wei family; she estimated that he had already returned to his sect.

Yun Xi smiled slightly. She thought Yun Qing was getting smarter and smarter, actually deducing that she was using an open scheme. But so what? Without any evidence, no one would believe Yun Qing no matter how much she talked.

On the other side, Yun Qing rushed back to her sect and went to visit Ye Shaohua, only to find that he was in seclusion. She then remembered that Ye Shaohua was about to break through to the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage.

In the end, Wei Yunqing could only return to the courtyard with a heavy heart. She suspected that Yunxi was making things difficult for her behind her back. When Yunxi came to Danfeng to show off her cultivation, did she notice something?
However, Yun Qing was certain that she was being extremely cautious. She kept the matter of the Enlightenment Fruit Tree a closely guarded secret, unless something had gone wrong on Ye Shaohua's side. But since he was currently in seclusion, she could only wait.

Wei Yunqing was still somewhat unwilling to give up. The next day, she took the initiative to go to Lingxue Peak to find Yunxi, hoping to get some information from Wei Yunxi. Unfortunately, she came up empty-handed.

Ling Xuefeng's disciple politely told her:

"Uncle Wei went to Fafeng early this morning, saying he had something to do and needed to return to the Wei family in Haoran City. He should be staying at the family for the next two days. If Senior Sister needs anything, I can pass on the message. If you have Uncle Wei's communication talisman, you can contact her directly."

The disciple's meaning was very clear: since Uncle-Master Wei Yunxi was not present, he would not allow outsiders to enter Lingxue Peak.

Wei Yunqing was rebuffed, so she decided to go to Haoran City to confront the person.

Meanwhile, Yunxi and Wei Chenyin had already returned to the Wei family together.

After changing to a new identity jade token and reporting to the peak master of Fafeng, True Monarch Yu Lin, Wei Chenyin met up with Yun Xi, and the two left the sect together.

Wei Lingtao's smile never faded after the arrival of Ancestor Chenyin. He was especially pleased when he learned from Yunxi that Ancestor Chenyin had advanced to the late stage of the Golden Core realm. With a powerful ancestor overseeing the family, his pressure would be greatly reduced.

The clan elders all bowed to Wei Chenyin, showing respect and admiration. Now they felt that the fall of Ancestor Nanfeng was not so hard to accept.

Today, Wei Chenyin was wearing the sect's sky-blue elder's robe. The array patterns drawn on the collar and cuffs were even more intricate, making her look even more imposing. In addition, the pressure she still exuded after advancing in rank made all the elders of the Wei family unconsciously become cautious.

Wei Lingtao smiled and cupped his hands in greeting:
"Welcome back to the Wei family, Ancestor Chenyin."

Wei Chenyin waved her hand, and after taking her seat at the head of the table, she spoke calmly:

“Yunxi has already told me about the Wei family’s affairs. It was she who persuaded me to temporarily return to the Wei family to take charge. Since you have invited me back, you must have already made up your minds. My style of handling things is completely different from Wei Nanfeng’s.”

"Don't wait until I've made my decision before you jump out and say this is wrong or that is inappropriate. I don't have the patience to explain every single decision. I hope you're prepared." Wei Lingtao immediately suppressed his smile and said seriously:
“We understand what Elder Chenyin said. Your return will be a help to the family, and no one will question your decision.”

"That's good."

Wei Chenyin nodded and then gave the instructions:

"Ling Tao, lead the way. I'm going to see Wei Nanfeng off on his final journey. You and the elders should take stock of what he left behind and put it all into the family treasury for the whole clan to share."

"Yes, old man."

A hint of joy flashed in Wei Lingtao's eyes. He hadn't dared to touch Nanfeng Ancestor's storage ring before because he wanted to see how Chenyin Ancestor would handle it. He didn't expect Chenyin Ancestor to be so magnanimous and to consider the issue from the perspective of the family.

The group then went to the secluded cultivation place in front of Wei Nanfeng. It was exactly the same as the day Yunxi left, with no changes, and the courtyard was still sealed off.

Wei Lingtao waved his hand to activate the formation, and the group reappeared in Wei Nanfeng's courtyard. However, this time everyone's mood was different; the heaviness was gone, replaced by a sense of ease.

Looking at Wei Nanfeng's excessively youthful face, Wei Chenyin knew that this was all thanks to the "rejuvenating liquid" that Yunxi had mentioned.

When she faced that face again, Wei Chenyin's previous resentment and unwillingness disappeared, replaced by inner peace. This person could no longer stir her emotions.

If Yunxi knew what Wei Chenyin was thinking, she would definitely say: What's the point of arguing with a dead person?

Wei Chenyin scrutinized Wei Nanfeng for a long time before sighing and saying:
“We’ve been fighting for half our lives, but I never imagined that I would be the one to see you off on your final journey. Life is truly unpredictable. But don’t worry, I will take good care of the Wei family, after all, it is the family I was born into.”

After speaking, he summoned all the storage equipment on the other party into his own hands, then flicked out a ball of flame, burning Wei Nanfeng's corpse, and swept the ashes into the spirit plant garden in the courtyard.

Yunxi watched the whole thing from the side. She noticed that several elders looked rather grim, clearly disapproving of Wei Chenyin's actions. However, they dared not speak out, since strength was the only true measure of power.

Wei Chenyin presented Wei Lingtao with the two storage rings and the storage belt in her palm:

"Ling Tao, take the two elders to take inventory."

Wei Lingtao respectfully cupped his hands and said:
“Ancestor Chenyin, let the Sixth Elder and the Seventh Elder take stock of these things. I will accompany you to choose a new courtyard and decorate it according to your preferences so that you can stay there for a long time.”

Wei Chenyin waved his hand and said:

"No need to make any changes. I think this courtyard is fine. I won't be staying here often anyway. I just don't like luxury. You can take everything here and turn the previous bedroom into a cultivation room."

She didn't like Wei Nanfeng's style and indeed wouldn't stay in the family for long, so the simpler the better.

"Yes, I'll have someone rearrange it right away."

Wei Lingtao waved his hand, and the Ninth Elder and the Tenth Elder went in and took the items out. Since Ancestor Chenyin said he didn't like extravagance, then the decorations should be more elegant.
