Chapter 343: Inquire about information
Leng Ruohan replied respectfully:

"Although Yunxi is a bit eccentric, she is a rare girl with a clear mind. She has her own bottom line in doing things. I observe that her Dao heart is stable, but she just needs time to grow."

"It's also my fault for taking on this disciple in such a rush; I only taught her for three days before going into seclusion. I didn't consider some things thoroughly enough."

Upon hearing this, Venerable Haoyi smiled and said:

“You two, master and disciple, complement each other perfectly. You say you haven’t fulfilled your responsibilities as a teacher, but Yunxi thinks you’re already a good teacher. You’ve taught her cultivation techniques, answered her questions, and prepared cultivation resources for her. You’ve thought of everything.”

This was the first time Leng Ruohan had heard his disciple's evaluation of him from someone else, and he smiled slightly:

“Yunxi is very sensible. No matter what her reason was for helping me overcome the Nascent Soul Tribulation, I will remember her kindness and hope to protect her.”

Venerable Haoyi naturally understood the protective meaning in Leng Ruohan's words and nodded, saying:

“She is indeed worthy, and she is the variable that Senior Brother mentioned. From the day she became your disciple, your death calamity changed. Yunxi’s contribution to your transformation into a Nascent Soul cultivator is indispensable.”

This was the first time Leng Ruohan had learned explicitly from the sect's patriarch that Yun Xi was the variable the founding patriarch had mentioned. Although he had vaguely guessed it before, he began to worry now that he was truly certain that his disciple was the variable.

"Don't worry, let things take their natural course. Protect her as much as you can while you can, and she will be able to better fulfill her mission when she can stand on her own."

After listening, Leng Ruohan took a deep breath and said:
"Yes, Yu Ling has noted it down."

"Yunxi's injuries this time are quite serious, and she will need a long period of recuperation. During this time, you should not go into seclusion. I have some big plans for the sect, so you must protect this girl."

"Yes, Ruohan obeys."

"Alright, let's talk about Zuoqiu next."

Haoyi and Yuling talked for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before disappearing from Lingxue Peak.

Soon after, Sect Leader Yu Geng received a message via flying sword and began to systematically arrange new sect tasks, keeping Sheng Yuhong extremely busy.

Two days later, when Sheng Yuhong went to the Mission Hall to issue the latest mission, he "bumped into" Wei Yunqing.

This time, Wei Yunqing was much more reserved, simply cupping her hands and saying:
“Junior Brother Sheng, it has been a long time since we last met since you returned from exploring the secret realm. Your cultivation has improved again.”

Sheng Yuhong also politely returned the greeting:

"After returning to the sect, I have been busy investigating the evil cultivators. I imagine Senior Sister Wei has also taken on many sect missions, right? I haven't yet congratulated you on your great success in the secret realm and your advancement to the late Golden Core stage. You will definitely be able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage in the future."

Upon hearing the words "evil cultivator," Wei Yunqing's eyes flashed. A wisp of evil soul was still sealed in her sea of ​​consciousness. When Venerable Haohui and Venerable Haoqing jointly explored their souls, she thought that the evil soul in her sea of ​​consciousness would be discovered. However, because of the crimson bracelet, the two Venerables did not find any clues.

After returning safely to her sect, she calmly completed her mission for the secret realm expedition. She exchanged the rare spiritual plants and the corpses of giant demonic beasts like golden sandstone, sand scorpions, and army ants she had found for sect points. She then used these points to exchange for some water and wood-related secret techniques. After confirming that Wei Yunxi was seriously injured and unconscious, she happily prepared to go into seclusion to consolidate her cultivation. Before going into seclusion, she even made a special trip back to the Wei family in Haoran City with her late-stage Golden Core cultivation. Unfortunately, the clansmen's attitude towards her was subtle—respectful but lacking in admiration, yet they did things in a way that left her unable to find fault.

When Wei Chenyin returned to her family, she went back to the sect first. She was a little overwhelmed when facing Wei Chenyin. Although their cultivation levels were similar, she knew very well that she was no match for Wei Chenyin.

However, because of the news that Yunxi was seriously injured and asleep, she didn't feel so uncomfortable.

To avoid the evil spirit in her sea of ​​consciousness being discovered, she went into seclusion for a period of time. During this time, Ye Shaohua came to find her, but she avoided him. Now, he was only a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, while she was already a late-stage Golden Core cultivator. The two were no longer on the same level, so there was naturally no need to continue their interactions.

After realizing she was qualified to stand beside Sheng Yuhong, Wei Yunqing couldn't wait to bump into him and try to find out about Yunxi from him.

Wei Yunqing noticed that Sheng Yuhong wasn't as distant as before, so she went along with what he said:

"Thank you, but recently the sect's missions have indeed increased. I'm planning to take on a sect mission and go out to gain some practical experience. I just wonder if Junior Brother Sheng has any news about Yunxi?"

Sheng Yuhong hadn't expected that Wei Yunqing wasn't there to get close to him, but rather to inquire about Wei Yunxi. However, remembering his master's instructions, he shook his head and said:
"Since Uncle Wei was seriously injured and fell into a coma, I went to Lingxue Peak to visit him once, but I was blocked outside the formation. I don't know if Uncle Wei has regained consciousness now."

When Wei Yunqing heard the words "Uncle-Master Wei," her heart skipped a beat. She had taken two Breakthrough Pills and finally managed to raise her cultivation to the late Golden Core stage. She thought she would be on equal footing with Wei Yunxi, but she didn't expect to find out that the other party had already formed a Nascent Soul.

Furthermore, with Yu Ling Zhenjun also reaching the Nascent Soul stage, she was once again firmly suppressed. If it weren't for Wei Yunxi's serious injuries and deep sleep, she probably wouldn't have been able to resist the temptation and cooperate with the evil spirit in her sea of ​​consciousness to quickly improve her cultivation and eliminate Wei Yunxi, who was now suppressing her.

After she emerged from seclusion, she tried to inquire about Wei Yunxi's situation, but the Wei family disciples were all busy with their own cultivation and said they couldn't enter Lingxue Peak, so they didn't know anything about Wei Yunxi. The more she inquired, the more people looked at her with strange eyes, so she had no choice but to give up.

In the end, we decided to start with Sheng Yuhong, since he was the sect leader's chief disciple and should know more. But to our surprise, he didn't know either.

Looking at Wei Yunqing's slightly disappointed expression, Sheng Yuhong felt something was off. In his memory, the two sisters didn't get along.

"Senior Sister Wei, if there's nothing else, we can talk another day. I need to go to the Mission Hall to post a new mission now."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yunqing immediately revealed a standard, slight smile:
“I’m planning to go on a mission, and I can go with my junior brother.”

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yuhong couldn't refuse, so they went to the Mission Hall together.

Wei Yunqing's words were not entirely for the purpose of getting closer to Sheng Yuhong. She genuinely wanted to take on a mission to leave the sect and then find a way to eliminate the hidden danger in her sea of ​​consciousness.

Originally, she had a more risky plan: to use visiting Wei Yunxi as an excuse to send the evil spirit into the other party's sea of ​​consciousness. She might not have had the chance before, but now that the other party was seriously injured and unconscious, it might really work. However, it seems that she doesn't even have the chance to enter Lingxue Peak, so she has to give up.

When the two entered the inner sect mission hall together, many disciples who came to receive missions saw them. Some were envious and jealous, while others thought the two were a perfect match. In an instant, the two became the focus of attention.

Although Sheng Yuhong was used to being the center of attention as the sect leader's disciple, he did not want to get too involved with Wei Yunqing, so he bowed to Wei Yunqing and entered the back hall.
