Chapter 364 Sowing Seeds and Reaping Effects
Looking at his daughter, who was both familiar and unfamiliar in the main seat, Wei Lingyue felt a pang of sadness.

His daughter Ningying returned to the family, but he was the last to know. If Du Ruolan hadn't cried outside his secluded room, he wouldn't have known that his daughter was in the mansion at that moment.

Faced with Yunxi's question, he could only sigh and say:

“I have been in seclusion, and I only came out of seclusion today after learning that you have returned to your clan.”

Yunxi simply nodded after hearing this and didn't say anything.

After being kicked out of the council hall, Du Ruolan returned to her courtyard, knocked on the array that Wei Lingyue was in seclusion, and tearfully recounted her ordeal, hoping that Wei Lingyue would inquire about the whereabouts of her daughter Yunqing.

Yunxi looked at the man who was no longer as spirited as before, her eyes flickered slightly. Although his robes were still crisp, his cultivation level had been stuck at the late Foundation Establishment stage and he was unable to form a core. This had become a knot in his heart, and the more anxious he was, the less he could break through the bottleneck.

Although Wei Lingyue had been in seclusion for years, she had not seen any results from it. Instead, she noticed that Wei Lingyue had a few more strands of white hair at his temples.

A brief silence fell over the council hall. Yunxi didn't want to speak, and Wei Lingyue didn't know where to begin. He felt the oppressive aura emanating from his daughter, making him feel suffocated.

"Yunxi, how is your cultivation at the sect going?"

In the end, Wei Lingyue was forced to speak first.

"Not bad. Master treats his daughter very well. He not only taught me cultivation techniques, but also prepared cultivation resources for me. I am able to successfully form my Nascent Soul thanks to Master's guidance."

"Do you know where Yun Qing is now? Ruolan said she has also become an apprentice, and she should be close to condensing her Nascent Soul stage by now, right?"

Yunxi narrowed her eyes slightly and said:

"She also apprenticed under a Nascent Soul master, what a pity."

She simply shook her head at this point, and before Wei Lingyue could ask any questions, she continued:
"She had already left the sect to go out and train when I went into seclusion. I heard she is now in the Eastern Region. I don't know anything else. After all, our relationship is very ordinary, and we basically don't keep in touch."

Wei Lingyue frowned after hearing this and said:
"Yunxi, you are sisters, and you have both become disciples of the Nascent Soul Venerable of the Haoran Sect. You should watch over and help each other."

Before he could finish speaking, Yunxi interrupted him:
“Father, you seem to have forgotten that we are half-siblings. Do you think I don’t know how Mother ‘passed away’?”

Upon hearing this, Wei Lingyue fell silent instantly, like a rooster being choked, a look of unease flashing across his face as he said:
"Yunxi, don't believe the rumors outside. Your mother's death was truly an accident."

Yunxi leaned back in her chair and said:

"Then can Father tell his daughter why, when you and Mother went to explore the ancient cultivator's cave, you returned but Mother 'perished'? What 'accident' happened during that time?"

Wei Lingyue immediately said:
"We did go together, but it was your mother's suggestion. We all wanted to reach the Core Formation stage as soon as possible, so we were prepared to take a gamble. Unexpectedly, that ancient cultivator's cave was extremely dangerous. Your mother accidentally triggered a trap, and that's how it happened."

"Oh? Father, are you sure it was Mother who accidentally touched it, and not that you pushed her from behind?"

Yunxi didn't give Wei Lingyue a chance to fool her at all and asked directly.

"No, no, how could I?"

“Father, think it over before you speak. I can easily tell if you are lying now, and at the very least, I can perform a soul search.”

Yunxi's words struck Wei Lingyue like a thunderbolt. He hadn't expected his daughter to hate him so much. He stammered, "..."
"Yunxi, how...how could you treat your father like this?"

"Why not? I will treat you the same way you treated me. From the day I was born, you have never taught me a single day. I am dissatisfied with my mother but powerless to change her, so I vent all my resentment on my mother and me."

"Am I not your blood relative? Just because Wei Yunqing is Du Ruolan's daughter, you dote on her so much, even subtly using them to suppress my mother and me. It's just that the result you've achieved isn't satisfactory. Your pampered daughter isn't exactly filial; otherwise, why haven't you reached the Core Formation stage yet?"

Yunxi's words were like daggers to the heart, making Wei Lingyue's face extremely ugly.

"As the Buddhists say: All results arise from causes; all retributions arise from karma."

My father understands the principle of reaping what you sow better than I do. If you can't even see this, how can you possibly succeed in forming your core?

This was the most fatal blow, turning Wei Lingyue's face completely pale.

Yunxi asked in a cold voice:

How did my mother "fall"?

This time, Wei Lingyue stopped arguing and lowered his head, saying:

"While we were exploring the cave, we encountered an attack from a third-tier demonic beast. I... I accidentally pushed your mother, and she fell into a crevice."

Yun Xi snorted coldly, releasing the pressure of her Nascent Soul stage cultivation, which directly knocked Wei Lingyue to the ground, causing him to vomit blood and be unable to lift his head.

Although Yunxi had already guessed, she was still extremely angry when she actually learned the truth about Feng Jiayun's disappearance from Wei Lingyue.

Although she had never spent time with Feng Jiayun, she couldn't deny that the other woman was a qualified mother who planned very far ahead for her daughter, even taking her own future into account. For that reason alone, she had to stand by her mother.

Wei Lingyue cannot die yet, and Yun Xi doesn't want to bear the stigma of patricide, so she quickly withdrew her Nascent Soul aura and said coldly:

"You are my father, and I will not do anything to you, but you are also the murderer of my mother. You'd better not show your face in front of me again, and don't let a few words from your pillow talk make you lose your bearings and come looking for trouble with me. I have plenty of ways to make you uncomfortable."

After saying that, he cast a cleansing spell to make Wei Lingyue look less disheveled, and then waved his sleeve to send him away.

However, this time she secretly flicked out an ice needle and inserted it into Wei Lingyue's dantian, just like she had done to Du Ruolan before. These unstable factors must be kept under her control.

When Wei Lingyue returned to his courtyard, he saw Du Ruolan anxiously waiting for him.

Du Ruolan, oblivious to Wei Lingyue's pale face, hurriedly asked:
"Husband, where is Yun Qing? Is she safe? Has something happened to her? Did Yun Xi force her out of the sect?"

Wei Lingyue's face turned cold as he said:

"Yun Qing is just out on a training trip, what does that have to do with Yun Xi? Are you trying to sow discord between the sisters? Or do you want me to question Yun Xi? She's a Nascent Soul True Monarch now, not the little girl you could bully at will!"

He then spat out a mouthful of blood.

Du Ruolan's face paled, and she immediately stepped forward to support the swaying Wei Lingyue, saying:
"I didn't mean that. You...you...why are you spitting blood? Was it because Yunxi did that to you?"

Wei Lingyue's face darkened further. He flicked his sleeve, sending Du Ruolan flying, and said in a cold tone:
"I'm angry because of you, it has nothing to do with Yunxi! Do you wish Yunxi would kill her father so that Yunqing could step on Yunxi to rise to power?"

"Let me tell you, don't even dream about it. My lineage will only be handed over to Yunxi. Don't think I don't know how Yunqing treats the clan. I'm only keeping quiet to save face for you!"

 My darlings, I'll upload one more chapter once it's finished.
