Chapter 388 Brother and Sister Reunion 1
Yunxi was fast and returned to the Wei family in Haoran City first.

When the guards in front of the Wei family mansion saw Yunxi appear, they immediately sent a message talisman to inform the family head, and opened the gate to welcome Yunxi inside.

There were quite a few cultivators watching the spectacle around, and some with sharp eyes had already recognized Yun Xi, whispering:
"That is the most promising disciple of the Wei family. He has already reached the Nascent Soul True Monarch level at a young age. The Wei family is now a force to be reckoned with."

"Are you talking about Wei Yunxi, who joined Lingxue Peak of the Haoran Sect?"

"That's her."

"Tsk tsk! I just received a breaking news report that this True Monarch Wei took on three Nascent Soul cultivators who blocked his path and provoked him."

"Ah? Really fake?"

"It's guaranteed to be authentic; the information was released by 'Mr. Know-It-All'."

A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. To take down a cultivator of equal strength in a one-on-one fight was already quite an achievement, but to think that Wei Yunxi could return to Haoran City unscathed from a three-on-one battle was beyond impressive.

Rumors of Wei Yunxi's extraordinary combat prowess spread quickly. Even though it was later confirmed that she had only killed a cultivator who had been possessed by an evil cultivator, the rumors had spread so widely that when Yunxi fought against others, they would usually back down unless they were absolutely certain of defeating her, which saved Yunxi a lot of trouble.

However, Yunxi, who had just entered the Wei family home, was in a somewhat heavy mood. Her first words to Wei Lingtao were:

"Patriarch, please invite all the clan elders to the council hall. I have something important to say."

Upon seeing Yun Xi's expression, Wei Lingtao's heart sank, but he still nodded and said:

"Alright, I'll gather them here right away."

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the elders and influential members of the Wei family gathered in the council hall. Everyone was happy to see Yunxi, but when they saw the serious expressions on Yunxi and the family head's faces, their hearts skipped a beat, and they had a bad feeling. Yunxi's next words confirmed their guess.

Yunxi said in a deep voice:
"Upon my return to the Wei family in Kunyu City, I unexpectedly discovered that an evil cultivator had infiltrated the family and set up an evil array outside the clan's territory, intending to trap and kill me."

Yunxi recounted her experience returning to Kunyu City, detailing her encounter with the evil cultivators. Finally, she waved her sleeve and placed the storage bags of the Third Elder and the fallen disciple, along with the resources left by the Wei family in Kunyu City, on the table before speaking in a deep voice:
"The evil cultivators have suffered losses at the hands of me and the Wei family time and time again, and they will certainly not let this go. Therefore, I have decided to give up the Wei family's ancestral land in Kunyu City. After the Wei family becomes strong, the younger generation of the Wei family will take it back by themselves."

Wei Lingtao clenched his fists, calmed himself down, and then said in a deep voice:

"Yunxi, you handled it very well. This matter originated from the evil cultivator's scheme. If you had also fallen into the trap, the Wei family would have faced even greater difficulties. This is already the best possible outcome."

Fortunately, you had the foresight to relocate most of the clan to Haoran City; otherwise, the Wei family would have faced only extermination.

Yun Xi waved his hand and said:
"My family is my support. I moved you to Haoran City so that I could protect you. If you were far away in Kunyu City, even if I wanted to, I would be powerless to change the situation. I hope the elders will not be offended."

"Yunxi, don't say that. The responsibility for this matter does not lie with you; it is that evil cultivator who is despicable!"

An elder immediately spoke up.

The elders calmed down and accepted the bad news. They were secretly relieved that the Wei family had not been seriously injured, but their morale would definitely be low for a while. They would need to comfort the families of the fallen disciples.

Seeing that the elders of the Wei family were behaving normally, Yunxi waved her sleeve and laid out piles of spirit stones, pills, and magic treasures on the floor of the council hall, causing the elders to widen their eyes. She then said slowly:
"As the saying goes, 'To forge iron, one must be strong oneself!' I will ascend to heaven one day and cannot protect the Wei family forever. The clan must increase its efforts in cultivating the younger generation and not be stingy with resources. Only when they are strong can the Wei family prosper."

"If they encounter something like this again, they will have the ability to retaliate, or at the very least, escape unscathed." Wei Lingtao immediately stood up, bowed to Yun Xi in thanks, and then looked at the crowd and said:

"Everyone, since Yunxi joined the Haoran Sect, she has done so much for the family. She has given the best advice on resources, connections, family development, and even the cultivation of younger disciples. I, the clan leader, am ashamed of my own shortcomings. Even if we can't help Yunxi, we can't hold her back."

“The patriarch is right. The development of the family is not Yunxi’s responsibility, but rather what we should do. Yunxi has already paved the way for us. Next, let’s discuss the training of the next generation.”

Even if it means using spirit stones and pills, we must cultivate several more Golden Core cultivators. We can't let others look down on the Wei family, and we certainly can't embarrass Yunxi.

"The Fifth Elder is right."

"."

Seeing that the elders' morale had been boosted, Yunxi left the rest of the matters to the family head. She was only responsible for providing advice and resources and did not want to directly interfere in family affairs.

Yunxi had just returned to the courtyard that the Wei family had reserved for her when Wei Zonghao also returned.

Zong Hao learned from the guards that Yun Xi had returned, so he changed direction and went to see Yun Xi first.

Yunxi looked at Wei Zonghao, who was half a head taller than her, and said with a smile:
"Zong Hao, you've finally shed the 'little fatty' nickname."

Wei Zonghao chuckled sheepishly before being pulled to a seat, after which he said seriously:

“Yunxi, when I returned to the sect from my training, I learned that you were seriously injured and had even taken two Nascent Soul Tribulations for Venerable Yuling. How could you be so reckless? Those were Nascent Soul Tribulations. I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to survive them. It was only because Master Yuhuo said you were fine and had just fallen into a deep sleep that I rushed to Lingxue Peak long ago.”

"Alas, I was forced by circumstances to do this."

Yunxi waved her hand and told Wei Zonghao about Zuoqiu's attempt to harm Yu Ling. Wei Zonghao's eyes widened in disbelief as he listened, and he said:

"He's already at the Nascent Soul stage, and it's only a matter of time before he ascends to immortality. Why would he ruin his future?"

"Jealous!"

"Then Wei Yunqing has become the disciple of a fallen cultivator."

Yunxi said with ill intent:
"Yes! But the sect has suppressed the news of Zuoqiu's defection. It will be released at an appropriate time. Just keep it to yourself and don't spread it for now."

Zuoqiu's soul has escaped, and who knows what form he'll take upon his return? Wei Yunqing, as his only disciple, has long been under surveillance. The sect couldn't possibly be unprepared, nor could they allow what happened to my master to repeat itself.

"That's good."

Wei Zonghao breathed a sigh of relief, then wiped his storage bag and pushed a wooden box in front of Yun Xi, saying:

"This is a substitute puppet I found in the cave of an ancient puppeteer during my training. It can take my place in death once. Quickly recognize it as your master."

"This is too valuable, you should keep it for yourself! My cultivation level is now at least above yours."

Wei Zonghao, however, said seriously:
“Your cultivation is indeed higher than mine, but your enemies are evil cultivators. They are ruthless and have no bottom line. I’m afraid you’ll suffer. You must accept this substitute puppet.”
